SIXTH <PAGE - 1HE SUNNY SOUTH. l;.35gg I In Woman's Realm of Thought and Home by Mrs Mary E Bryan^y _. WU&f NOTICE. Much to our regret,-an instalment, of Mrs. Brynu’s matter this week, in cluding the editorials and chat, failed to reach the office in time to get in print, owing to a delay in the mail delivery. —MANAGING EDITOR. WHICH IS THE TRUE PHILAN THROPIST ? There are two kinds of benevolence. One is the kind which inspires a moil who has mnd e tens of millions of dol lars in the steel business, a/ter the fash ion of men who control the output of any article of human necessity, to erect library after library in towns and cities throughout the country for the purpose of perpetuating his name, saddling upon future generations the support of these Institutions. The other kind is that of the man in Now York who has erected it home for working girls where those who have to toil in rite shops of tlio great city can obtain comfortable rooms and the most nourishing of food at a very moderate price. The fortune of tie builder of libraries is so great that it appalls the person who contemplates it. The interest upon it would feed an army for a. lifetime, vet in spending it thus it does not relieve a single heartache or lessen a single 'burden throughout the land which gave the wealth. The other man may lie comparatively poor. The cost of Ills building is but $300,000, and It is to be self-supporting. Nor will this support come in the form of a tax (for what some believoe to he a use less luxury. It will represent only sums of money which would have been spoilt •by these young women for poorer ac commodations and food ill-adapted to their needs. The generosity oif the giver of that which wiil, in many cases, pro duce mental indigestion and inculcate into the youth of our land the haiblt of superficial reading of light books rather than careful study of classic works, is heralded unto the very uttermost parts of the earth. The other, who provides 300 women with the comforts of home drawn wide and sweeping conclusions in science and In philosophy from that assumption: "The great theorist Is only to lie distinguished from the fantastic fool by the Sobriety of Ills Judgment—a distinction, however, sufficient to moke the one rare and the other too common."

Professor Darwin, as Piny Woods Tom says is a son of Charles Darwin, who Is usua.'.ly considered the originator of tlie evolution theory. Tile belief of the editor of this journal taht evolution should be as yet considered as a theorv. and' not as a proven fact, is shared by Professor Dnrvin as shown in the word, inig of the subject of his address, which Was. "The Present State of the Evolution Theory.” In introducing his address he says; "In the mouths of the unscientific, evo lution is often spoken of as almost syn onymous. with the evolution of the va rious species of animals on the earth, and this again is sometimes thought to be practically the same thing as the the ory oif natural selection Of course those who ar 3 conversant with the history of scientific ideas are 3ware that a belief In the gradual and nrd' > r r '- transforma tion of nature both animate and hvanai- mate is of great antinuRv.” The iUen of evolution is not. therefore. acc^“dlnc to this eminent son of - more eminent father, a new th'rvy which lias oome *o the knowlede'p of men witb'n the last few yen r g to nverthrro- all -regions conce-ntlons in Tihvs'o.s end in r'-I’asenhy. tint is itself an evolution of cn idea.

For hls gayer hours She has a voice of gladness and a smile And eloquence of beauty, and she glides Into his darker musings with a mild And healing sympathy that steals away Their sharpness ere he is aware. In tlie big cities the only nature I should have to hold communion with would be a few smoke-darkened trees In tlie park, a bit of greensward, with the warning. "Keep off the grass;” a few un happy, caged animals, and a patch of sky seen Between roofs and blurred with si. oke—nothing like the great dome above me on a day like tilts—celestial blue- with here and there a white fleecy cloud.

Hniwles seems to think it rather remark able that backwoods people should be cemented. I don’t see how they could lie otherwise. ’There’s something in the booklet’s song," Hawles: "The tranquil peace, the fragrant air, The sacred ctharm of growing things. That stills the restless pulse of care.” The following extract from an article by Beatrice Hill expresses my sentiments" exactly: “Up among the mountains of Tennessee live a people who from In fancy to the grave, a.rc surrounded with ai: nature’s languages, and whose souls should lie rich and full of her lavishness. •I’rople who have tihe pure, fresh air to feed thoir lungs; the wonders of earth to encourage the thought, and the beauties ot nature to uplift the soul.; people who •mv where th€-y can seek the deep, cool recesses of the mountains and listen to tihe whisperings of each nodding tree, where each rugged rook has a story to te.;, each dancing rivulet a song to sing and each golden flood of sunshine a poeui t o instill.
