* fllE ATLANTA SEMI-WEEKLY JOURNAL, ATLANTA, GA. I FRIDAY, MAY 16, 1913. CbNOOCTtC? ftr MISS LIZZ11 O. THOMAS) EVERY MAN’S HOME. Every man’s home is the best old home, And every man’s wife is the sweetest; Every man’s child is the best little child. The best behaved and the neatest. Every man’s baby is better than all The babies that ever were born— And just so it’s babies and wives and homes. Why, let ’em all blow their horn. Every man’s wife makes the finest pre serves, And every man's wife bakes bread That beats all.the bread that ever was made K From Hatteras to Stony Head. Jfcvery man’s home is the best to see The finest housekeeping on earth—• I#- And jusct so it’s bread and preserves and home. I Let ’em keep on with their mirth. When every man thinks that his own home’s best, And his own wife sweetest, why then We’ll swing back into the golden dream Of a\ieaven on earth again. And isn’t it beautiful, fine and sweet, That faith of a man in his child. And his wife and his home and his simple life That he boasts of undefiled. When every man’s home is the sweet est place On earth for a man to be; When every man’s wife is the sweetest wife In all the world to see: When every man’s child is the dear est child That ever drew breath—ah, then, We shall have better children and women and homes, And a darned sight better men. —Baltimore Sun. CHAT. Jqst now there are a great many people stirred up over the hlien laws of California and wondering how things will turn out and what Japan will do. And as likely as’ not things in Japan are going on as if there wasn’t any stir over here. I well remember the many pieces of news about Japan that I read in American newspapers, sent me while there, that had absolutely no foundation. On the other hand, one never knows the real sentiments of those people. They are taught to wear a smiling face, as the book of etiquette teaches, “even though your father brings another wife to the house.” Beneath the surface human nature is the same the world over, and only Christianity is needed there, as every where. They are ambitious and they are also overbearing. The military training has had much to do with the latter characteristic. Some are really rulers and some would like to be—the last practice on their inferiors the rules and regulations that they have had to learn. With the Asiatic ideas of the status of women it is easy to see how Rhey have become the burden bearers. • i May, with the Japan of the section I lived in, is a month of unusual activ ity. The better classes are the ones vo care for the silk worms and about now they are all hatched. Eat? You have never sfeen anything like the silk worms’ capacity for getting those mul berry leaves consumed. Day and night they eat. x’ve forgotten the calamity that befalls the owner if* the worms get out of leaves. As they cannot have a great many put before them at the time, there is no chance to fill their boxes or trays and go to sleep. After they have eaten for several days they must have twigs to climb on and to hang from as they wrap their winding sheet about them. This thread is like the finest hair. When they are entirely covered the cocoons are then plunged in boiling water to kill the worm, or there will be a hole cut in the end of j the cocoon for the chrysalis to get out,! and that would mean the threads ruined. ! Rats are a great menace to the cocoons, their name is legion over there, and I; once visited a woman who explained her swollen eyes by saying that the rats found her cocoons that morning i and nibbled almost all of them. In the higher families they take pride j in furnishing the threads of which the | bride of the house had her trousseau made. The threads are wound on reels, a sample from the factory is selected, I t;.e reels sent there and the pattern is i v/cven. I saw a general’s daughter’s outfit. She had been a pupil of mine, and took great pride in the fact that all the material for her dresses and under go rments had been spun at home. NEARLY DEAD MOTHER SAVES r Timely Advice of Mother Re lieves Terrible Suffering of Daughter, and Possibly $ Prevents an Untimely End This month is also the time for rice to be transplanted, and that is done by women. That is anything but a pleas ant task. The fields must be several inches in water, a sort of big mud pie, on© might say, and the girls wade up and down ib sticking the young plants in it. Sometimes in this country when 1'ie seen men bundling a dozen or more hands on the train to take them to a phosphate or lumber camp, I’ve thought of how girls are hired over there to do *th e farm work and turned loose at^har- est time with scarcely clothes to cover them; not enough to keep them wai*m. I used to think of it and wonder how it c uld be changed—the women doing such hard work and having nothing to show for it at the end of the season, the time when they needed it most. The majority of the men were in the army, or in the government employ in some cap^ity, and the women of the poorer classes were veritable beasts of burden. I have seen those same fields plowed with the most primitive implements, a man holding the plow handles and sometimes a cow and a woman pulling it. The entire country would have to be almost made over to change things, everything is on too small a scale to allow the use of machinery and I don’t know what would become of a vast number of men if the Jinrikishas were done away with. That class of men are coming to this country in droves. Once I was riding in one and the man stopped and said, “I been to America.” I said, “Did you like that country?” “Yes,” he answered, “there I’m a man, here I’m a beast, a horse.” There was so much bitterness in his voice that I said no more to him. I knew it would not do to let them tell their grievances against their govern ment. We were there to help them all that we could, but not to get mixed up in any issue of that sort. Naturally a foreigner was a marked individual and one they had all sorts of theories and suspicions about. The ultra-loyal said that if America, the Land of Plen ty, was all that it was said to be why did we leave it to go over there? One of their arguments against Christianity was that it made people unloyal. That missionaries had spent their lives away from their native land and seemed to be happy over there. Now, however, as the second generation of Christian natives are making homes for them selves in many instances the men mar rying girls that have been the Bible women or personal helpers of ladies who, as the ignorant express it, de serted their country to live in Japan, the situation is better Understood. I was once waiting for a boat and a Jap anese man began to ask questions of my Bible woman. At last he said, “You be good to her, do the best you can for her. That 'is what my brother wrote to me, for he says it’s like leav ing all manner of good things for them to come here.” He did not know that I understood what he was saying, he wouldn’t have spoken quite so freely to me. “Bei Koku” is their name for the United States, Rice Country or lit erally Land of Plenty. So you see they are bound to slip in whenever they can, and they can see no harm in out witting the foreigner. As I have already stated they are a most overbearing race, the military rule has been largely responsible and they are taught from infancy that no other race equals them in bravery or any good thing. Their name for all foreign ers was Devil, or Barbarian, until Ja pan entered the comity of nations. Then their emperor issued a proclamation telling his subjects some of the things expected of them and one was that they must be polite and accommodating to the “Faraway People” living or visiting in that country. There was considerable curiosity among the foreigners over there as to what term would be coined to designate the so-called Barbarians. This fifth month is a great time there, from every house that boasts a boy, and if none, has been born unto them one has been adopted, there is a long paper fish swimming in the air from a tall bamboo pole! Those fish are a mot tled red and white, made of strong pa per pasted together to form a bag that the wind, entering the open mouth, in flates. Sometimes several are on one pole; they are from ten inches to seven feet, as long as their purses will al- low. I sent some of those paper fish to friends over here, but they were one of the things that somehow always failed to cross the line. They always had letter postage on them; In those days there was no parcel post; but some one must have smelled the fish and stopped them. They were not held for duty, for their value was never as much as a half dollar. Well do I remember the rejoicing there was on both sides of the Pacific when the parcel post was organized. It certainly was a blessing to he able to get things from home without having to wait until there was passing, to say nothing of how we hated to burden the traveler. But this is enough for this time. Faithfully yours, I.IZZIE O .THOMAS. Ready, Ky. Xn the following advices from this place, Mrs. Laura Bratcher says: “X was not able to do anything for nearly six months, and was down in [ bed for three months. I cannot tell you how I suffered with my head, and with nervousness and womanly troubles. Our family doctor told my husband he I could not do me any good, and he had to ; give it up. We tried another doctor, but ! he did not help me. At last, my mother advised me to take Cardul, the woman’s tonic. I thought it was no use, for I was nearly dead and nothing seemed to do me any good, but I used' eleven bottles, and wag then able to do my own work and my own washing. I think Cardui is the best medicine in the world. My weight has increased, and I look the picture of health. I will always praise Cardui for what it has done for me.” Remember that Cardui is a mild, safe remedy, composed of valuable medicinal Ingredients, which help to build up vi tality, tone up the nerves, and strength en the entire womanly constitution. In the past half century Cardui has relieved more than a million women. Why shouldn’t it do the same for you? Try it. It may be just what you need. M. B._—-Wiite to: Chattanooga Medicine Co.

AUGUSTINE Dear Miss Thomas: After a nice little visit to St. Augustine, I am home once more and snali try to tell some of The Journal renders about it. Before one gets there a man comes along and wants to get his carriage hired. He is about the most accommodating individual I have met in a long time. He could suit al most any po°ketbook. These accommodating ‘haps are harder to turn down than some of the other sort. My friend and I did not want a carriage. That, to me, is a very poor way to see a place. Of course, if there is much sightseeing and one’s shoes are new a carriage is convenient, but it is such a superficial way to see things. When we got off the train we were offered a carriage at halt the price of the other. When we told the man lie said, “Yes, and see about half as much.” So, you see, one is at the mer cy of hack drivers. Our four feet—there were two of us. un derstand—our four feet marched us straight to the Presbyterian church. That is a pluce worth visiting, and as we gazed on. the last resting place of Mrs. Flagler and her daughter we re membered that he is now almost at the brink of that stream, which, once crossed, one never more returns to this sidg. Mr. Flagler has done so much for Florida, and more for the travel ing public. The railroad Just completed by him is a marvel and its success, I was told, had encouraged the idea of even a more ven turesome undertaking. After the church we saw the hotels. The Ponce rte Leon is all my fancy painted it. This was not my first visit, but I never weary of that beautiful place and there is always a po lite bell boy to show it. Those pictures, the furniture and the court vie with each other and it’s bard to say which is most alluring. Buy, beg or borrow a kodak for the'day. They are rented very reasonably and one needs very little practice to become c-xpert enough to snap the little bit of metal or wind off that section of film. Wandering around seeing curio stores and old houses, sniffing the salt breeze and inci dentally rising early to get the train, made us hungry and a nice little restaurant guve us a dinner for twenty-five cents. Not such a meal as I would like to have to sit down to seven days in the week, but clean and politely served. Dinner over, a short rest taken and then we went to the fort. That Is u most’interesting place. Some of these days, when dollars are not so elusive and one can have a job that al- SUFFRAGETTES SENO BOMB TO MAGISTRATE Judge Bennett, Who Is Hearing Charges Against Leaders, Escapes Being Blown Up (By Associated Press.) LONDON, May 15.—A businesslike bomb addressed to Henry Curtis Ben nett, the police magistrate, who is hearing charges against the suffragette leaders, was delivered by a letter car rier at Bow street police court today. The package was marked “immediate,” but disliking the looks of it, the cau tious court officer took it outside and plunged it into a pail of water. When the package was opened it was found to contain a tin tobacco box, bound with wire and lied with gunpow der, shot and a cartridge. Attached to the cap end of the cartridge was a nail, wh,ch, if it had been struck, would have fired the bomb and exploded Its contents. Suffragette bombs were found to day in one of the passenger cars of a train running between Kingston-on-Thames and London, on the Southwestern railway. This makes the third outrage of the kind on the same line within two months. On the trainis arrival at Waterloo terminus, the conductor noticed in one of the compartments three parcels which aroused suspicion . On investigation two of them were found to ^.italn tin canisters filled with combustibles and wrapped in suffra gette placards. No explosion occurred and the bombs were handed over to the police. A militant suffragette ’’arson squad” destroyed a large untenanted residence, “The Highlands,” at Sand-Dale-on-the- Sea, near Folkestone on the English channel, last night. Post cards address ed to the “Dishonorable Prime Minis ter,” and to t..e “Dishonorable Reginald McKenna, home secretary,” were left about the premises. There was a post card bearing the words “We hope this is not q^poor widow’s house.” Striking evidences of the extensive operations of the militant suffragettes and the bad effort upon the women’s cause of the outrages committed by them was given today on the resump tion of the hearing at Bow street po lice court of the charges against the suffragette leaders. They are charged with the infringement of malicious dam age to property act. Those who occupied the prison inclis- ure were Miss Harriet Rebecca Kerr, Miss Agnes Lake. Miss Rachel Barrett, Miss Beatrice Saunders, Miss Annie Kenny, Mrs. Laura Lenn and the ana lytical chemist. Clayton. The case against “General” Mrs. Flora Drummond was postponed until July, owing to her illness. Letter carriers and postoffice officials testified as to the great damage done to the mails by chemicals and other fluids poured into the public letter boxes. lows vacations this woman is going to spend a week or two right there. Not exactly at the fort, but the house has been selected, though the pepple in it are not yet aware of the fact. I haven’t made up my mind whether I shall go in October or May. I don’t want the crowd and can’t say that I ani hankering after the mosquitoes that it is reasonable to suppose will be there in May. I hopj nobody is disappointed (?) because I’ve not gone into vivid descriptions of the sights, but Miss Thomas ypijr pen did full jus tice to the subject last year, and Penelope wrote a splendid letter a little later. Y’ou see I keep up with the Household, long may it prosper. Sincerely, MARY J. LUTHER. HOW TO READ BOOKS Dear Miss Thomas: Bacon says, “Reading maketh a full man, writing nn exact man.” I have often ’ thought that times have so changed things since that day that the learned man aVouM be surprised if he could come back and see the addle pates that spend their time with books. I think that ttu- *eason a great many children fail in their examinations is be cause they do not know bow to study, and their parents before them dla not. The mind is a creation that places 11s higher than the animals because we can reason, remember and bring to pass plans stored away in the store house of memory years ago. But the average reader does not put anything worth keeping in that mental storehouse. The reading has not been done in a manner to be stored away, the mind lias become a sieve that catches the worthless chaff and lets the heart of the wheat escape intsead of a granary where the whole wheat is garnered for the good of all In need. if I were a fairy T could look into the minds of the readers of this page and tell them a few things that would astonish them. They are not reading wifh attention. They skim along and are wondering when dinner will be ready, or what makes that child cry. or if the hen is in 'the garden. Ttead while you read, and let your mind absorb food enough to get in shape once more. To read firstclass fiction is a benefit if one does not overdo the thing, but to read the stuff that some folks boast of is an impo sition on the mental faculties and on the people who might be benefited by associating with you. Some magazines are so rilled with chaff and not the best chaff at that, that I am not surprised at the title light reading. Read a book and train your mind to so absorb it that it becomes your own proprrry. Let it be a book, fiction, history, travel, it matters not. but let it strengthen your mind as much as your food helps your physical body. Some things are to be daintily sipped, some may be quaffed, and some slowly masticated. Are these your mental habits? Cordially. MILLER FONTAINE. A NEW IDEA IN CHICK FEED. Dear Miss Thomas: Almost every time that I see your picture I plan to write a Household letter. You seem like a dear friend that I’ve known for years, and there are a great many of the writers that it seems to me I would recognize if I should meet them. Not as many are froi9 Florida as I would like to see. We have all sorts of industries here that get valu able ideas out of the Semi-Weekly Journal. And I know there are things some could teach us. I am glad you have taken up the subject *>f gardening and raising chickens, as I am inter ested in both, but especially chickens. I only keep one breed, the Barred Rocks, and they lay real well* I only set a few hens, as I do most of the hatching in an incubator. I don’t have any trouble raising the chickens, just keep the brooder in n little yard where they can take exercise. I feed on wheat bran, coarse meal and a commercial mixed together hr a dry mash. I use boiled sweet potatoes rolled stiff in bran and meal and some times a dry biscuit added. The chick feed is so high in price I have never bought any. Hope you will keep us informed of your suc cess. 1 have Irish potatoes, cabbnges, collards, lettuce and radishes; also onions, and have rape and oats for the chickens, and give them a mess every day. Will some of the other sisters give their experience with chickens? With best wishes for your success. I am MRS. LULA C. ROACH. Drifton, Fla. For May 18th—G-en. 42:3-17. •• " Golden Text: “Whatsoever a man soweth, that shall he also reap.”- Gal. 6:7. Twenty odd years after the perfidy of his brothers, and after their lying and murderous hearts had spirited him away from his father and his home, there was a time of great distress in CannaTm. It was a hill country and a sheep raising country. It depended largely upon Egypt £or its grain. There had been unwonted plenty for several years; there never had been such har vests and everybody that raised wheat had ha<jl an abundance. The supply was so great, however, that the price was low—the makets were glutted. But for the last year or two, the crops had failed. They never had known such a poor harvest; in fact, they had not gathered as much as they had planfed. No more could be shipped to Canaan, and the dwellers there began to suffer. THE VISIT TO EGYPT. Among those who began to feel the pinch were Jacob and his eleven sons, and their families. They had no wheat, but they were wealthy shepherds, and could afford to matke a trip to Egypt to buy what was needed. So after a family council, this visit was decided upon. They planned that the men should go, leaving Benjamin with his father and their families. This was really ne cessary, for since Joseph’s disappear ance, the old man had" never been the same. He was foolish about Benjamin, and did not want him out of his sight. They reached Egypt after quite a journey, each with a bag of money with which to buy the coveted grain. They were referred to tlie prime minister, who was personally overseeing all sales, especially those made to outside parties. They thought his action toward them extremely severe. He scrutinized them most closely. His questions were very pointed. His manner extremely harsh. He suspected them of being spies, com ing in the guise of merchants to find the points of weakness, and to even tually attack the country. They asserted their innocence, they told him they were all brothers, imply ing that in reason no chief would send so many of his sons to act as spies. They claimed to be true men; they ap parently had forgotten for the time how they had lied to their father twenty odd years before and to all appearances had never confessed their deceit to him. But the prime minister would not be lieve them. Having learned that there was still a younger brother, he said he would put them to the test by that. The burden of proof was on them, to show that they were not spies, and he would put them all in prison, t allowing one to return and bring the brother. Unless he could do so, they would be proven guilty and killed as spies. That ended the conference. Officers were called who conducted them to the prison, where they stayed until the day after the next day (say from Wednesday afternoon until Friday morning.) I am not sure, but I can well imagine that those three days (according to Jewish count) were spent in very earnest thought. Each man in his cell had time to review his life and to wonder what would be the outcome of it. They knew enough of God to understand that He was just and would require of them an account of their evil desires and their unconfessed lies to their v father, and began to wonder if finally God was bringing vengeance upon them for their sin. In the morning after the second night they were startled to hear the command of the guard to march. They had been summoned to the presence of the prime minister again. With fear and trembling they came before him, and bowed down to him. Can you imagine their relief when they heard him say, “Because 1 fear God, I have determined upon a more lenient course. I will keep only one of you and the others may take grain back to meet the needs of your father and four families; but unless you bring the younger brother back with you when you return, you shall not see my face, or release your brother whom I "keep as surety.” Simeon was chosen' and bourtd before their eyes, while the others were sent to the granery to have their sacks fill ed and loaded upon their asses. THE RETURN JOURNEY. Joseph, for it was he who was the prime minister, had given privately or ders that every man’s money was to be returned to him and placed on top of the grain in the sack. He had no de sire to corner the wheat and drive hard bargain with his brothers or ’his old father; he had no need of their money. He wanted their love. He even gave them more than their money call ed for, as he provided for their return trip. When one of them opened the sack to get food for his beast he found the money. Each one repeated the experi ence, and were in consternation. In stead of suspecting who it was who had done this, they were fearful of punishment. Each expressed to the other the fear that he had in his own heart. God was punishing them for their sin. Conscience had been dormant for twen ty years, but kindness had awakened it, and they were under deep conviction of sin. They expected an attack at any time, but the rest of the journey was without incident. They reported to their father all the details of the trip,/ never once suspect ing that they had been dealing with their brother. He was distressed be yond measure and wailed as he thought of his lost Joseph and Simeon and now of the possibility of losing his beloved Benjamin. He upbraided them for ever telling that he had another boy, and insisted that he would never let them take Benjamin away as they would bring his gray hairs in sorrow to the grave. JOSEPH’S PURPOSE. What was Joseph’s purpose in thus dealing with his brothers? Was it sen timent or revenge or reconciliation? At first it looked very much like the for mer. He had them in his power; he could do with them as he pleased ana no one say anything to the contrary. The severe scrutiny, the harsh words, the suspicious attitude, all point to the former. The imprisonment points to revenge. 1 But, it was neither. If he had ever had any such feeling in his heart it melted away during the three days, of their imprisonment. I believe his while purpose was reconciliation. He was heaping coals of fire on their heads, but he had to treat them as he did at first to bring them to the point where they would be willing to accept his proffers of mercy. My reason for so thinking is that Joseph could not have acted otherwise when we realize that he was constantly conscious of God’s presence. Had God not been with him, he might have taken revenge; but with God with him, reconciliation was his only course. Jesus as treated us just so. Our treatment of Him was far worse than theirs of Joseph. But the invisible God manifested Himself in Him in his efforts to reconcile, not God to us, but us to God. What shall be your treatment of those who offend you? Can there be any other purpose if you are conscious of God’s nearness, if you are looking at the things that are not seen? WOULD APPOINT WOMEN Such Is Provision of Proposed New Charter as Drafted by Dalton Committee DALTON, Ga., My 15.—A feature of the proposed new charter for Dalton adopted at a meeting of the special charter committee last night makes women eligible to membership on the city board of education. The proposed charter calls for three commissioners, who shall be elected by the people, the commissioners to name all other officials and manage the city’s business and government. If passed by the ‘legislature, it will be submitted to the people in a special election November 5, and, if ratified, the commissioners will be elected De cember 10, to take hold of the city’s affairs the first of the new year.

Freer, of De troit. Mich., according to a study made of the Freer manuscripts by the Times. A fac similq of the writings has been presented to the British museum by the University of Michigan, tq which Mr. Freer assigned the task of pub lication, and according to the Times’ study, there have been found in the gospel of St. Mark several verses which occur in no other known manuscript of the New Testament, although they were known to St. Jerome, who quotes part of them. In the Freer manuscript after the passage in which it is said that Jesus upbraided His disciples for their un belief, the text continues as follows: “And they excused themselves, say ing that this age of lawlessness and unbelief is under Satan, who through the agency of unclean spirits suffers not the true power of God to be appre hended. “For because, said they unto Christ, reveal at once thy righteousness. “And Christ said unto them, the lim it of the years of the powers of Satan is (not) fulfilled, but it draweth near. (The text here and elsewhere is cor rupt.) “For the sake or those that have sinned was I given up unto death that they may return unto the truth and sin no more, x but may inherit the spirit ual and incorruptible glory of righteous ness in heaven.” A number of variations in ot;her por tions of the New Testament are also FOUR ARE KILLED WHEN FAST TRAIN IS DITCHED Three -Passengers and Brake- man Die in Wreck on Oregon- Washington Line TACOMA, Wash., May 15.—Four per sons, three passengers and a brakeman were killed and seven seriously injured late yesterday when a train on the Ore gon Washington line bound from Port land to Seattle was ditched near Lake View. The train was speeding over a stretch of level roadway at the rate of sixty-five miles a nhour when it left the rails. The engine and eight cars went off the track.
