A Womnn’n Heart.
A woman’s heart 1“ a curious thing!
You may bruise and break it and roughly
Ilins , ...
The balance away as a useless thing;
But the sunshine and warmth of a kindly
word . .
Will nourish the tendrils broken.
And newnean of life is within it stirred.
By a word so gently spoken.
C»h! woman s heart is of priceless worth.
The tendervst love within lias its birth.
Go search. and you’ll find there is naught
on earth
That can rival the wealth of her loving
heart
Wh n once it is freely given;
That ran comb rt the sad. much joy impart.
Though with grief her own Is riven.
But woman’s heart is a foolish thing!
With never a doubt all its wealth 'will
bring
And freely bestow. To its idol will cling
Though the w »rld may condemn. Ah a wo
man's heart
To r n will never listen;
She will |- ni her scul, scorn every art.
An J barter ter ho;>es in heaven.
Will stand unwearied night and day.
By the Im-1 of pain; will tenderly lay
Her own life uown; tnrougn years will
watch and pray
For the soul of one. who could never know,
Cuula never beaieve, except in j>art.
All th<- strength of love, ail the joy and
Tout lie concealed in a woman’s heart.

Every woman is Interested in a new baby,
and tn the baby clothes. I have seen each
little article taken out ano lerderly handieu
and shown with pri-.ie. and the interest is
always manifested, and especially if it is
the tirst l»aby in the fam y. How many
little dainty articles grow under the
nit ther *■ hand, and how many loving
thought, are woven in with many stitches
hop' s a. . a -piruliens for the future crowd
one another in the busy brain of the
work t. and the little garments grow and
multiply, and are laid away with the fond
est antt--.pition of future happiness.

it is quite interest.r.g to read of this
bahy’a y outfit. Tn- royal grandmother
was an .i.'U Hu.t as far as possible every
thing should be made at home, or of
Brin -h ma <u.a< tuie. The white satin of
which hi- ;--tticoits are made comes from
Fpita'd* id . and most of the lace from Ire-
* ano it st -of the omtit is made of
Irish linen.
The queen sent her great-grandson
a number of beautiful robes, most of them
being of It -h lawn, exquisitely embroider
ed. and trimmed with Irish lace, also a
beatutiful cloak of white zebUene with a
ie.jd to match, ornamented with the tiniest
of pnii'•• of W iles plumes. I su|iopse it
would be il’i’i.uli to imagine anything
dantier «r more lovely than this royal
baby's clothes. The bassinet was also
given l»y the queen, and had been used by
ail her majesty’s children.
It is sa d to be a l«ed tit for a prince.
It is covered with satin, over which there
Is an exquisite drapery of Honitou lace.
The sheets are of Irish lawn, embroidered
with the royal arms and crown, and euged
with vah r.ck nri'-s lace. The blankets, which
of Tyrtnean wool, are also einLrioder
ei with th«- royal arms and crown; of
• >ur«e, the pillow cases are trimmed to
n t'-h the sheets. There are two eider
downs. one in white and the other in the
m -t delicate shade of bluish pink satin.
It will soon Im- time now to christen this
very important little personage, which
ciremony will take place al Westminster
abbey sometime >n August.

World’s Fair
Medal and Diploma
awarded to
Dr. Price’s Cream Baking Powder
The highest award was given on every claim, comprising
superiority in leavening power, keeping properties, purity and
excellence. This verdict has been given by the best jury
ever assembled for such a purpose, backed by the recommend
ation of the Chief Chemist of the United States Department
of Agriculture, Washington, D. C., who made an elabor
ate examination and test of all the baking powders. This
is pre-eminently the highest authority on such matters in
America.
This verdict conclusively settles the question and
proves that Dr. Price’s Cream Baking Powder is
superior in every way to any other brand.
Note.—The Chief Chemist rejected the Alum baking powders, stating
to the Worlds Fair jury that he considered them unwholesome.
while it is interesting, none of us envy the
beautiful clothes or the primp and ceremony
surrounding it, for dearer to our heart is
the humblest American baby, than all the
royal babies of the old world.
Scolding Children.
It 's the very worst plan imaginable to
scold a child for mistakes or to fret, and
nag. and worry, because a child does not
learn to do a thing after once telling it.
We forget that we have the advantage of
years and experience, and often expect a
child to know as much as we do. It takes
patience, constant watching and training
to teach a child just what you want It to
do.
Every one is capable of teaching chil
dren, though you hear many say they are
not. There are many people who need
training themselves, and of course sucn
are incapable. Parents who give way to
impatience and temper cannot expect their
children to be otherwise than they are;
first train yourself and then take time to
train your child. Every mother of a
family shot 11 take time herself to teach
i her children, if it is impossible for her to
do it, she should employ some trustworthy
person to do it for her. When a baby be
gins to sit at the table and use a spoon
is the time to begin training for labie
manners. One cannot begin too soon. Nat
urally a little child will drum on the table
with a spoon or fork, but by quiet watch
ing and being turn, the child can soon be
made to understand that Is not the proper
use for the spoon, and as soon as it really
und'-rstands mis, it can be trained properly.
, 1 have seen very young children, not more
than five or six years old, whose
I table manners were very good, 'Then t
have seen large children who were a source
of nuisance to every one around them, and
never seemed to know or care what their
manner- were at table.
All this is greatly the fault of the parent—
these children have been scolded or nagged
until they were perfectly indifferent, and
it is not to be wondered at. I have heard
children screamed at almost every half
hour in the day, “don't do that,’’ or, “why
don’t you do so and so," or reproved for
the slightest thing, until 1 have thought
if 1 were the child i would not care whether
I did right or w rong, children need encour
agement as well as grown people, aniJ
should have it We usually find time for
th- things we want to do most, and there
j is surely nothing more important than the
I Judicious training of our children; and do
I it without seoMing or whipping, i never
agreed with Solomon, if his wisdom was of
i the highest order, for I do not believe in
corporal punishment—if it is possible to
avoid it. I consider whipping the most hu
miliating thing on earth, and we have no
right to humiliate our children. Certainly
our children are superior to dumb animals,
and tliere are very few of those, no matter
how vicious, that cannot be controled by
kindness. 1 know many will not agree with
me. but at least you might try it awhile—
' don’t scold, but be kind and patient and
| you will be more than paid for the effort.
THE KINGDOM’S CORKE*»« J ONDRWCE.
A Gosnlpy- Exchange of Views Among
(lie Ladles for Themselves.
Mr*. M. A. Miller, Winters, Texas.—Will the
young lady who offered to buy or dispose of con
federate stamps, please write to me? I have a
c..ii-.in who has several. If they are worth any
thing alter being canceled, I wish to dispose of
them tor him.
I will give a good white cake recipe: Four tea
cups <.f flour. 2 of white sugar, 1 of blitter, 1 of
sour i ream or rich milk, a small teaspoon of soda,
whites of tt eggs well beaten, flavor with lemon.
1 think the sisters will like this recipe.
Siuphiir and lard mixed will cure the sore head
in chickens. 1 have tried it on several; put it on
the bead.
Miss Irene Freeman, Ix-verett, Ga. —The theory
of n<> recognition in the other world, I do not
think is borne out bv the Bible.
I.oke xiii. •-*: “there shall be weeping and
gnashing of teeth, when ye see Abraham, Isaac
and Jacob in the kingdom of heaven and ycyour
; selves thrust out ’’
It no recognition then, how could those to
whom lie (Christ was sneaking, know Abraham,
. Isaac and Jacob? They had I ecu dead 1,500 years.
Wouhl not one expect to see and know Christ,
one or the many who lollowed him here, stiffen'd
here for Ills sake and died fur him? Alas! wake
up. as it were, in another sphere and then have to
get acquainted even with Christ, as they died here
It wo thousand years ago.
If when life ceases here and we enter into an-
THE WEEKLY CONSTITUTION; ATLANTA. GA, MONDAY. AUGUST 6, 1894.
other all recollection ot a former existence is
blotted out. We might as well be as the beast of
tne field ; we might as well have no soul as to know
nothing of a former life.
Why should one care how he lived here? Lived
we holy, or lived we wickedly, we would not know
why we were among the blessed, nor why we were
with tlie condemned. Such an idea is monstrous.
We will know the moment we enter there “The
glorious Christ” and be welcomed by him.
Mrs. G. F. Jones, Been, Ala.—l have long been
a silent admirer ol The Constitution, especially
Woman's Kingdom, and always turn to that page
first, as 1 inn greatly interested in the discussion
ol heavenly recognition, lor 1 cannot agree will:
the Louisiana sister uho says we shall not know
each utiier there, for I firmly believe we sh ill
know each other there.
It would lie a great affliction to me if 1 could
not lielieve that 1 would meet my three little chil
dren that have gone oil belore, and I feel it I
should lie called from eartn now, the first sight to
greet my eyes would lie the little smiling lace and
brigh. blue eyes 1 my darling little C lyde.
1 am sorry ior the sister that dor's not believe
they will meet and recognize their loved ones. I
believe 1 would give my lile away il it was not for
the hope of knowing and embracing them again
in that celestial abode where tliere will be no more
parting.
< mr Louisiana sister goe s on to say if we know
each other there, we will be like Rachael, weeping
for some lost one of our relatives. If we do not
know each other, bow are we to allow but what
they are all lost; consequently we would be sure to
weep. But theie will be no more tears to shed up
tliere, for heaven knoweth no sorrow. 1 believe
the wicked will be blotted out of the memory of
the saints us they are blotted out of the booh of
God.
Mrs. S. E. McEwen, Clifty, Ala.—l have been a
silent admirer of the Kingdom sometime. 1, like
a great many others, take an interest m the dis
cussion : “Snail we know each other there.”
.My opinion, nor no other person’s opinion, is
not worth anything, unless it has “thus sayeth the
book.” lor its foundation. We l-.ave no positive
prool in the Bible that we shall, or shall not,
know our loved ones in the better land. I, for
one, know that it 1 am so fortunate as io get there
and my husband or any one ol my children are
missing, and 1 am eoncious of the fact, it will be
no heaven to me.
God in Ills wisdom, has fixed things just right,
and I do not think we. should trouble ourselves
about where the souls stays after death until the
judgment, or shall we Know our loved ones there,
and lots oi other things that we can hint no prool
ot in the Bible. Our duty is to search the scrip
tun sand learn w hat He lias commanded Us to do,
and be ready when the summons comes.

Lung live The Constitution.
Ro«a S. Thompson, D Arbonne, La.—l notice
that some ot the sisters want a remedy for tlie
clneKt-n t'ea: Feed your chickens one tablespoon
iui coal oi), and one tablespoons ill ol red pepper
mixed with one pint of meal, using boiling water
to make a still Hough. Give this mixture once
daily, and 1 don't think you will have any further
trouble.
I have a number of nice things 1 will exchange
with the sisters lor confederate stamps of IstX)
and 1 si;l. 1 also want confederate money; 1 want
the Montgomery issue. 1 will give more lor the
ami ¥SOO bills. If you have any kind of
coulederate money, write stating what you have,
and what you want in exchange, enclosing stamp
tor reply.
Mrs. R. L. Simonton, Orrville, Ala.—Mrs. E. V.
Reves, of Elkin, N, C., has asked for a remedy
that will cure sore eyes. 1 semi one th.it my moth
er-in-law has often tried, and says it is a sure cure
ot the cunimoi: sore eyes.
To one pint ol hot water, add a teaspoonful,
each ot sugar and salt, and a piece of copperas
the size of the end ot the thumb. M hen cold,
strain and bottle. Put one drop in the eyes every
two hours until relieved; also, wet a cloth in the
so’utlon and lay over the eyes, keep the cloth wet.
It one has just taken ilie son- eyes, it will cure m
twenty-tour hours, but in this case it will take
longer to effect a cure. The first three or lour ap
plications will be very painful.

A (.rent Educational Exhibit V\ ill lie
Mti.le nt the ExpuMition.
The prospects are that the Cotton States
and international exposition will have at
least one exhibit that will exeell the one
made at the world’s fair in the syime line,
viz: the educational exhibit.
Last month, when the Georgia State
Teachers’ Association was assembled at
Cumberland island. Major W. F. Slaton,
superintendent of the public schools in this
city, ottered a resolution endosing the expo
sition. This resolution was passed with
great unanimity.
Major Slaton then offered a resolution to
the effect that the president of the asso
ciation be authorized to appoint a commit
tee from the state at large to provide for
an educational exhibit to be made at the
exposition. This resolution was also passed
with great enthusiasm.
The delegates to the convention all mani
fested great interest in this work and all
pledged themselves to aid in making it a
success.
Accordingly, when the convention ad
journed, Hon. It. J. Guinn, president of the
association, set about making up the com
mittee. Realizing the importance of the
work to be intrusted to this committee,
President Guinn gave several weeks’
thought to the matter before deciding on
its makeup.
Mr. Guinn made a trip to Athens last
week to consult with certain members of
the committee upon whose appointment he
had decided. He just returned from that city
a few days ago.
Aftei'X-areful consideration on the part of
President Guinn,that gerrtleman has appoint
ed the following committee; Major IV. F.
Slaton, superintendent of the public schools
in Atlanta, chairman; Dr. H. C. White,
Athens; Hon. S. I>. Bradwell. Atlanta; Dr.
W. A. (’handler, oxford; Superintendent L.
H. Evans, Augusta; Mr. Otis Ashmore, Sa
vannah; Miss .11. Rutherford. Athens; Super
intendent A. I. Branham, Brunswick; Dr. 1.
S. Hopkins. Atlanta; Mr. A. <?. Moody, Bos
to, Ga.; Mr. I'. D. Pollock, Macon; Mr. K.
Merry, Atlanta; Mr. T. K. Williams,
Afton; Miss Mary Bacon, Milledgeville,
Superintendent .1. S. Stewart, Marat,'a;
Mr. Jerry Pound. Barnesville: Mis. ('ox,
LaGrange; Mr. N. E. Ware. Hawkinsville;
Miss Connie Butts. Brunswick; Mr. R. I’.
Gaillard. Dahlonega; Miss Fanny Andrews,
Macon; Mr. E. B. Smith. LaGrange; Mr.
W. O. Conner. Cave Spring; Mr. Heywood
Pierce. Gainesville; Mr. 11. W. Williams.
Macon; Mr. W. A. Hemphill. Atlanta; Mr.
W. Harper. Americus, and Mr. W. B. Mer
ritt, Jr., Columbus.
This is indeed a representative committee,
and it would have been impossible to have
selected a better one, numbering among its
members, as it does, nearly all of the best
and most prominent educators in the s*ate.
Such a committee, acting in co-operation
with the other teachers of Georgia, will
doubtless bring together simh an exhibit as
has probably never before been seen.
With the proper encouragement on the
part of the exposition directors, this com
mittee will mike an educational exhibit
that Georgia will be proud of for all time
It is proposed to make the exhibit not
state nor Sectional, but national in Its scope*.
Those members of the committee witn
whom President Guinn has talked, : 'c*'
4y enthusiastic over the work. While the
president himself Is highly in accord with
IV. F. Sinton, who is chairman of
the committee, will soon issue a call lor a
meeting in the near future, when
wavs and means will be discussed. A f w
davs ago he stated that in arrnmrcm< m sas
well as in every other n sneet. the ( tm ..-
tlonal exhibit at Atlanta s fair would outdo
that of the world’s fair.
C.ront News for’tlie Exposition.
Glorious news for the exposition was re
ceived Fridav bv President Collier. Sen
ator Walsh telegraphed that it had teen
decided to permit all exhibitions ‘he
Cotton States and International ; xhibit ‘° n
to enter the United States free of ill duty
charges. This is a great concession, and
nnans mure for the exposition than can be
comprehended at present. By this many
(ountries will be induced to ma*e - xh bits,
and it is but another step towards n alilt g
the Cotton States and Internal! 'ii.il expo
sition one of the grandest in the country.
SARGE PLUNKETT. •
TUJE JtVllNlJid QUESTION FOR THE
SOUTH ATLANTIC STATES.
Young People Must Nnt Go Went-The Old
Methods Must Be Cluing, d, and the
Young Folks Kept lit Home.
For The Constitution.
There has just arrived in our settlement
a Mr. Bane, from Texas, and he has turn
ed many a head to swimming with the
“Texas fever” from the glowing account he
gives of the crops of that state.
Mr. Bane is no “agent,” but has returned
to Georgia to see old friends and relatives,
and he is Just such a gentleman that
his words can be depended upon, and is,
therefore, more dangerous to the interest of
Georgia to the gain of Texas. While our
Georgia boys are digging away at their lit
tle “bumble-bee’’ cotton, to free it from
grass, caused in so much abundance by the
late rains, Mr. Bane comes and tells them
that people were picking cotton at his home
when he left there two weeks ago, and tiuwt
the stalks are as high as a man's head,
and lapp'd in six-foot rows.
Mr. Banc does not tell his glowing story
pf Texas with any interest of injuring his
old state of Georgia. It Is told as other
simple truths would be told by a gentleman
of veracity in the natural course of fireside
conversation, and the young people listen
and wonder while feelings of dissatisfaction
creep into their young minds and they grow
aweary of the old red hills.
I would not disparage Texas if I could,
nor would I undertake the softest impeach
ment of such a man as Mr. Bane, but I
venture that there is another side to this
picture, and a darker side. There are plen
ty of poor folks in Texas. There is grumb
ling of hard times; there are men out of
work and “tramps” are upon the roads. I
venture there is more "tramping” in Texas
than in Georgia—three times as much—ami
there are graveyards and stiff ring, and
sickness, and I doubt if the tongues parch
ing with the fevers of this rich section can
lind the crystal springs of old Georgia to
cool them, nor the same healthful breeze
does not fan them to rest. 1 say this, not
that I love Texas less. Texas is young and
vigorous, and can stand alone now, with
out drawing from these old south Atlantic
states, as she has drawn, and if she is wise
she will cease to tear her linen to draw
from anywhere, but offer her wild lands as
a premium for twins and grow a popula
tion worthy of the stock from whence they
sprung.
The Carolinas, Virginia and Georgia have
dene enough for Texas. The most of us have
as many loved ones in Texas as we have at
home, and if this “going" keeps on we will
all long to go there for this reason. I have
been watching these movers to Texas for a
long time. Long trains of ox teams used
to till the roads on their way, ana the dirt
from here there has been moistened by the
tears of young mothers leaving their old
settlements and the old folks so
sad and lonely. Since the days
of railroad* 1 have watched the immi
grant trains and tnere has been a tear for
every j.uff of the engines that carried our
friends away. It is like hurrying a loved
one to take those t'jo old to follow, to see
them start for Texas.
Especially should the Carolinas, Virgina
anu Gec>"gia begin to look for the cause
that bus been taking their young people
away, and seek a remedy. Our young men
ate predisposed to go west, and it is a
question that parents should ask them
selves, why this so? Brown and myself
have placed the blame at a strange door
—we have placed it upon the fathers. This
Is a strange place to put the blame, for
we know that it is not intended. The “old
; .an” may not cry and take on like th 3
mother, but it wrings his heart just the
same to see his children going off to the
west, and he wonders why in the world
they can’t rest satisfied at the old home.
Brown had a tulk witli his boy and one of
his sons-in-law yesterday and the matter
of “opi»ort unity” seems to be weighing
on their minds. They want some land of
their own, and they think their oppor
tunity is in the west. Brown has enough
land to give every child he has a home,
and he expects for them to have it, but he
wants them to wait till the “old folks”
die before they get it. This waiting till
father dies is the most unpleasant thing
that could be put on a child. A child does
not like to contemplate the death of a
parent—they rather go west than for such
an unpleasant thing to transpire, and
Brown and I have figured it out that a
child would not be worthy did he not feel
thus.
It is strange how the average “old man.”
does hate to divide up the old farm.
know the children will eventually get it
all, and feel that this should satisfy. But
it does not satisfy. Waiting is a hard
thing with the young. It seems so long
to wait ten years. An old man can re
member when he thought he never would
get to be twenty-one, and the old women oi
this day used to think that the time would
never arrive for them to put on long
dresses and go with the boys and marrj
and keep house for themselves. Time
moves mighty slow with the young—a week
is a month and a month is a year witn
them. And all their young days tney work
"in common” to till the lather's cribs an i
to keep up tiie old plantation. This is ths
fly in the lock—right here is where Drown
and 1 place the blame. Every child should
have something of its own from the very
start of its working days. Just give yout
children a little "patch" of their own. Give
it to them separately and then let me know
if you t ver hear ot a boy being tired wnen
his own paten is to work—never uid a boy
complain of bale, work in his own paten,
even if it was just a Saturday evening's
holiday. Saturday evenings given to ne
groes in slavery times tor the purpose
ol working theii own patches turned tne
old plantations into bowers of smiling
ehoerii’iness and romping activity.
Knowing this principle in human nature
as well as old folks know it. it is strange
that there is not more effort made foi
every child to have his “individual” in
i' rest. II e know of two young men in our
settiemint just now arrived at the age
O’ twenty-one who are going to the west
next fall. Either one of their lathers own
as inucil as 2W acres oi land. I venture
ihe assertion that if these fathers, ten
years ago, had given these sons ten acres
ot land, the ten acres would have now been
rich and improved, the fathers would
have lost no more of these sons labor man
they have lost and these young men would
not now be packing their trunks to go
west Is it is, these fathers have several
u n acre plats on their places grown up
in sedge and briars— unsightly to Hie ejv
and useless to all. Aou will never get me
and Brown to believe anything but what a
child should be encouraged in this way and
vou will never make us believe that the
parents lose any present ben. ills by such
encouragement. He have '.vatched two lit
tle girls who had “patches of theii own
this year, and they have not lost a mo
ment’to their mother on this account, on
the contrary, they have more tlitm gained
the time bv swifter work and have I’een
happy all the year in anticipation of their
h But there will always be sorry people
discontented people and poor people, but
to improve upon present conditiors. I be
lieve an easy matter so far as the children
Are concerned. "The old man” is the hard
est thing to manage in the matter. I have

of families and 1 would not have him lose
an iota of his prestige, but I do th.iiK -.e
maiority of them are too tenacious in hold
ing on till death It is so nice to see
vour children and grandchildren settled
about on the old farm. A few m.ght be
ungrateful and brutes enough to forget
their duties and lose their affection for
the old people, but not many, and the
greatest good to the greatest number is
what should be sought for. There are
mightv few fathers hut what are willing
and glad to do whatever will benefit his
children The most old men are just liv
ing for their children, and they honestly
lielieve it would be bad business to di
vide up the faims. Some think that by
keeping the wealth concentrated in one
that the father holds a prestige for helping
bis children that they could lot secure

it is what we all have got to learn in this

about as much as any one man needs, an 1

MISS WI.V.YIE’S SI MPATHY TO I CH ED.

ger mid Seen Her Cored For.
Omaha, Neb., August I.—(Special.)—Miss
Wyend, an intelligent young woman, ar
rived here yesterday from Holdredge,
wiiere she has been living for the past few
months. She has been ill a long time and
was penniless. The magnanimous Hol
dredge citizens, not wishing to have her
on their hands, bought her a ticket to
Omaha. She was in an utterly destitute
condition and excited the sympathies of
Miss Winnie Davis, the daughter of the
confederacy, and Mrs. J. L. G'oddard, the
president of the Woman’s Christian Asso
ciation, of Providence, R. 1., who happened

MALARIA STAYS.
It Never Leaves the System Until
Expurgated.
Should a person with any chronic
ailment present himself for examination to
a careful physician, the first thing the
physician would ask is: “Have you ever
had malaria?" Should the patient answer
yes, the physician would proceed at once
to cleanse the system of the malarial poi
son. The after effects of malaria are so
different in different cases as to mislead
both doctor and patient as to the nature
of the malaria. Any one who has ever had
malaria and has only used the ordinary
means of getting rid of it, will very likely
be troubled with it. more or less, during
the rest of life. It may resemble almost
any chronic disease. Sometimes the victim
thinks he has consumption; sometimes dys
pepsia; other times, liver complaint, and
often nervous prostration, etc.
The only certain thing to do for one
who has malaria, or has ever had malaria,
is to take a thorough course of Pe-ru-na. The
remedy will rid the system of all the mala- '
rial poison and fortify it against other
attacks of this pernicious disease. Pe-ru-na
is especially prompt and lasting in its ef
fects on malarial subjects who have takes
quinine without permanent results. Pe-ru
na cures after everything else fails.
An illustrated medical treatise on chronic
and acute malaria will be sent free to any
address by the Pe-ru-na Drug Manufacture
ing Company, Columbus, Ohio.
