MOTHERHOOD
The greatest ambition of Amer
ican men and women is to have
homes blessed with children. The
woman afflicted with female dis
ease is constantly menaced with
becoming a childless wife. No
medicine can restore dead or
gans, but Wine of Cardui does
regulate derangements that pre
vent conception; does prevent
miscarriage; does restore weak
functions and shattered nerves
and does bring babies to homes
barren and desolate for years.
Wine of Cardui gives women the
health and strength to bear heal
thy children. You can get a
dollar bottle of Wine of Cardui
from your dealer.

Supplementary Reading in
Schools.
The following paper was read
before the Teachers' Institute of
Bartow county last week bv Prof.
J. H. Jolly.
The subject of reading is one
that, in my opinion, does not re
ceive the proper attention in the
average school. I have known
pupils to emerge from the com
mon and preparatory schools who
could boast of no more extended
acquaintance with literature than
that gained fiom McGuffey’s read
ers. I have known boys to enter
college, well prepared in mathe
matics, Latin and Greek who had
never read as many as five books
in their lives, had no taste for
reading, and to whom the college
library with its large and varied
collection of invaluable books, was
as valueless as the decalogue is to
the average politician. The re
result is such boys get only a text
book education, which unsuppie
mented by any other,is worse than
no education at all.
Now,this lack of taste for reading
may be due to one cause or to an
other. The literature in some
homes is exceedingly scant, often
consisting of only the 'xmnty pa
per and an almanac, and it may
be some old history which has
been “handed down from sire to
son.” Unless some outside influ
ence can be brought to bear on the
children who grow up in such
homes, a few months in school
will avail them little and they will
go through life deprived ot one
great source of advantage and en
joyment, their condition being on
ly the more lamentable the more
unconscious they are of what they
have been denied.
But it is unnecessary perhaps
to represent the conditions as be
ing so unfavorable, inasmuch as
the responsibility of the teacher is
not altogether removed, even
though the environment be a great
deal better. Let it be supposed
that the community in which he
labors is progressive, his patrons
intelligent and literary, and that
the means of obtaining all the
reading matter desirable is conver.
iently at hand. Suppose, if you
will, that there is a library of
50,000 volumes in easy access to
every pupil in school. Still the
study of reading remains an im
portant one and involves some dif
ficulties. What to read, when to
read, and how to read constitute
the perplexing prob'em.
That great care should be exer
cised in selecting for a pupil what
he should read is only too evident
from the large amount of pernic
ious literature always within easy
reach and the comparatively small
number of publications that really
edify and inspire. Who can esti
mate the damage to the youthful
mind and character, resulting from
the reading of certain poems of
Burns, certain portions of Shaks
peare, or such books as “Trilby,”
whose only mission is to “madden
and pollute,” The cheapness and
abundance of such literature is
truly charming. In his baccalai.r
eate address to the 4th graduating
class of the Georgia Normal and
Industrial college, Dr. J. Harris
Chappel used these strong words:
“A literary phethora peiv ides our
country and it is seriously damag
ing, I believe, to the best powers of
the human mind and to the strong
est and finest qualities of human
character. “Of the making ox
books there is no end,” said’ the
preacher in disgust five thousand
years ago, and the saying applies
with tenfold force in this close of
the 19th century. Sixty thousand
books claiming to be new and orig
ignal were published in the year
1894. I believe the world would be
better off intellectually,morally and
spiritually if fifty-five thousand of
those books had never seen the
light of day. Most books are
either positivelvlv bad or perfectly
worthless, comparatively few are
good, and the smallest possible
number are really great.”
All of which I dare say is no ex
aggeration. Then doesn't it appear
that the question of what a pupil
should read is one of supreme im
portance?
But suppose this question has
been settled and the pupil has been
given a list of books and of’ those
books only that he ought to read,
what next? Those books should
be correlated as far as practicable
to the successive stages of his
mental growth. In other words,
there should be some graduation
based on the corresponding grades
in school. It would be folly to put
1 a child who had just completed the
! 4th reader to reading “Milton’s Par
adise Lost” or Dantes “Inferno.”
| Equally foolish would it be to put
a boy wl o is studying English lit
er ature to reading “The Swiss Fair
ilv Robinson” in words of one sylla
ble In either case the law of fitness
would would suffer violence, and
Fff A nTAT ion
VUCijili C ur€
Is Guaranteed
the result would be not only no ab
solute good but positive damage.
The question of how to read is
now to be considered, and it may
be said that with this phase of the
subject the teacher is more imme
diately concerned than with any
other. His methods of teaching
reading in school will determine in
a large measure the reading that
is done outside of school, and
whetner such reading, limited or
extended, shall conduce to proper
ends or result only in a foolish
waste of time. How many people
there are who have read hundreds
of books, all the best magazines,
and newspapers, and yet who can
not be called well-read. They read
to no purpose. The only benefit
derived by some people from the
printed page is the entertainment
of the passing moment They
read merely to pass the time, and
when once this habit is formed, a
degenerate taste is the result.
When once the mind has been al
lowed to relax into a state in which
it seeks only to be amused or di
verted and loses its conscious con
trol in the selection of matter upon
which to feed mental dyspepsia
sets in, followed by a morbid crav
ing for that kind of literature whose
only effect is to blight and corrupt.
With a taste and appetite thus vi
tiated, the reader becomes lost to
all that is brightest and best, pur
est and truest, penned for the pur
pose of inspiring the mind or en
n ibling the heart.
Australia’s Great and Varied Wealth
The richest nation in the world
proportionately is not Great Bri
tain, not fat little Holland, not
even the United States.
For the greatest average indi
vidual wealth we must look to the
Australian Commonwealth.
Last year the total value of the
products of the colonies forming
the Australian Commonwealth
amounted to fully $550,000,000, of
which their pastoral industries rep
resented $150,000,000, their agri
cultural $140,000,000, their min
eral products fully $100,000,000,
and their manufacturing and other
industries the remaining $160,000,-
000.
The wool alone trom the hun
dred and twenty million sheep
raised in 1900 was worth SIOO,-
000,000, says the New York World.
The mineral resouices of Aus
tralia cannot even be guessed at.
In the last forty-eight years the
country has produced gold to the
value of $1,000,000,000, in the last
twenty silver to the value of $150,-
000,000.
Diamonds are found in one dis
trict, rubies in another. There is
at least one emerald mine in New
South Wales, and opals equal to
any in the world are found in
Queensland, while the pearl fish
eries of the northwestern coast pro
duce pearls.

‘‘Why don’t you go to work?’
“Well,” answered Meandering
Mike, “to tell de honest truth, I
have’nt got de objection to work
that some folks gives me credit for.
De trouble is \vi’ human nature,
not.wit’ me. If you offer to work
fur anybody, you ’rouses his busi
ness instincts and he wants a bar
gain. But if you throws verself on
his generosity, he says, What’s de
use o’ bein’ mean,’ an’ hands out
liberal.”

Many electric devices are now
available for use in the home. They
include small hand am; s which
light at the touch of a spring; a
pocket lamp and battery made flat
like a folding camera; ornamental
candles with miniature lights at
their tip; a tiny lamp attached to
the front of a c!o:k, and small
lamps for decorative purposes. A
current is introduced in a house to
supply power for flat irons, curling
irons, coffee mills, ice cream freez
ers and sewing machines, and heat
for chafing dishes and tea kett’es.
Telephones are replacing speaking
tubes in most of the new mansions
and also to connect with stables
and other outbuildings. If power
from a waterfall or windmill is
available the owner of a house can
install an electric plant of his own
at a small cost. In many large
country houses the dynamo is run
by a gasoline engine.
