Make Your Homes Beautiful, No people 011 earth have greater natural facilities for beautifying their homes than the people of the South.

That is the wrong | word—the woman who tills that | sphere and tills it well does a I higher and nobler work than many a jaded leader of society, and her rewards even here are greater in the love and affection of her husband and children. For the girl, then, who expects to marry, it may well be asked if the next feu years cannot, be most profita bly spent in her mother's kitchen and at her mother’s sewing basket learning the mysteries of house hold economy and household man agement that will prove more necessary in after life than Latin | declensions or mathematical theo rems. But, it may he said, notall girls marry and every girl should he | able to earn her own living. This j is very true, although it may well [ he said that higher education seems to be a hindrance rather than an aid to matrimony. How many women lawyers or doctors marry? It would seem as if more education made them more criti cal and harder to please. Does it always give them more chance to earn their own living? Judging by the troubles of York housekeepers, and we do not be lieve they are singular in this res pect, the largest field for girls who have to support themselves is right in the kitchen. Not nec essarily as drudges, hut as scien tific cooks and managers. How many women right in this city stand ready to pay wages which, taking into consideration that board and lodging is provided, are on a par with those paid school teachers and typewriters? And such cooks are the moBt care free and independent of wage- earners. We are aware that such a propo sition does not meet with a very popular reception from the majority of our girls. To be “at service” sounds all wrong to the i young American of today. It re quires the hard knocks of life to make us realize that we are not as independent as we would like to j he—that we are all at the service I of others.— York Daily. Breaking It Gently. General Deal or in Merchandise. La Senorita. a homo without inspiring attrac tions. It is too often a home without happiness’ and without profit. The exuberance of spirits that finds its outflow in the plant ing of shrubs and flowers and the ! adornmeui of homo reveals a sense for nil that is beautiful in life and elevated in morals. The employ ment of our leisure hours shows the bent of out inclinations. Whore there are no shade trees, no part errs of flowers, no pleasure grounds with swings and comfort •> able scats, no magazines or news papers to relieve toil or make leisure hours profitable, what can we expect the hoys on the farm to do? For their pleasures they too often visit the country store, in dulge in coarse jokes and chaffer ing nonsense, debase their sen,$o of duly and diminish every day their mental horizon and lower their moral plane. Make home beautiful and at tractive, and every member of the household will tic elevated. A country place should imply, all that is charming in nature and all that is fruitful in field. It should he a reservoir from which issue the fountains of yirtuc, intel ligence and hospitality. From such a homo the highest type the American citizen is drawn. Southern Firm.

The thing to do is to get a hustle on, hunt up a kind- hearted neighbor who is willing to loan enough fodder to keep the horse alive, and then get to work and earn money to buy nmre. Fortunately, there are plenty of such neighbors around ready to help the man who will help him self. Lowell is at the present moment in the unhappy position of the starving horse. It is therefore not much use for Lowell to be moan the mistake of the past, to wonder whv, in fact, she ever got mixed up in the strike in the first place. The thing to do now is to get to work as quickly as possible and earn the wherewithal to pro cure a square meal. The Cocked Hat is a decredited lid. The Mailed Fist has sore knuckles. While tho strike was being urged at Lowell the Boston Jour nal argued constantly coolness and arbitration. Had that ad vice been followed there would not be today a starving Lowell. — Bos ton Journal. While President Roosevelt is pleading for a larger navy and heavier appropriations on the Pa cific slope, those who served with him .in the late Spanish war are laying Riego to tho federal treasury in a manner that,clearly demonstrates that, however dead ly modern warfare may become, it is not at all likely to become less expensive from the taxpayers j commonplace point of view.

In the meantime, the fact remains that up to da to no less than 63,000 applications for pensions have been received from the modest heroes who “fought unto” the Spanish war, and at the present rate it will not he long be fore 50 per cent, of tho patriots who served their country in that momentous crisis will ltavo dis covered that they deserve 11 place j on wlmt is really the payroll of : the grand old party,—Florida j Titnos-Union.

The latter part of of July follow ing land for the wheat crop shold begin. The earlier the land is broken when it In^a a heavy growt h of clover or peas, the bet ter for the succeeding wheat crop. The green crop when turned un der should have time to decom pose before tho sowing of the wheat. Otherwise the undecayed muss will make the land to porous for the healthy growth of the wheat plant. No work is more important to the wheat growing farmer than a thorough prepara tion of the soil before the sowing of the crop. If the land is broken in July, it should he double-disced or rebroken in September. The yield of wheat depends quite as much on the preparation of the soil af on its fertility. Thin soils, ( well prepared, will make a bettor yield than rich soils tilled with undecomposed vegetable matter mixed with unbroken clods.— Southern Farm. it. II.
