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.

MSKVKt CO.. Wi/'ffrMuW 9m * m Tbswa Me.,New York. ED UC ATIONAL. 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. The Philosophy of Mendicancy- Washington Miar. ‘‘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.

WOOLSON SPICE CO.. TOLEDO, OHIO. 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.
