(from where the women were stolen) on
top of the mountain.
On our trip to Tivoli we had to go up a
mountain that was covered with olive
grov< s from top to l>ottom. I can give you
no Idea of how grand it was. The trees
are in full bloom and some of the old fruit
still on them looks like a blue plum. We
pulled a few blooms; they nre like our
prat»e blooms. The >»ody of the olive tree
bursts op* n and divide; looks like three,
four or live tre* s from one root; the more

Exchange List.
Mrs. E. L. Sumin* ■ . Mar-hall, Tex.—Our
editress -at*! some time since that “the
southern women are willing and wish our
men to make and carry out the laws."
I would ask to say, howev< r, that while
thia seems to be the prevailing id* a. the
undercut rent of op; htion is much stronger
than Is generally supposed. The subject
of woman’s suffrage is not a popular ono
in the south. The old-time Idea of south
ern chivalry liv* s, though this old id* a is
not sat*“factory to the present woman of
thoughtful Intellu ■ iii'e. The men are nice
to us, they doff their hats, and leaves off
their bail habits when in our pr. . nee—and
for these, favors we give our freedom.
They make the laws and hold us amena
ble to them. We have not even the privi
leges and advantages of the minor with
whom we are placed. 1 hold, with Haw
tl orne, that "thoughts grow moldy; what
was good and nourishing food for the spirit
of on** generation affords no sustenance for
the next." and while the old-time chivalry
may have been s it!l -l -nt for the women of
tile past, tt is not now. Chivalry must be
progressive as is every spirit that elevates
mankind.
The spirit of chivalry requisite for the
present day and of which we could boast,
woul i voice the sentiment of equal rights
and justice to all. and would know that—
" The woman's cause is man's; they rise or
sink together, dwarfed or godlike, bond or
free.” We know that woman’s suffrage is
no longer a question of r.. !it, y<*t we can
wait for the inevitable while a mightier
matter engrosses our mind in the coming
political campaign which is casting its
shadow before, and we tremble at tile re
sult should the Chicago convention fail to
declare for the free coinage of silver. If
so, we will be at the m**rcy of th** giant
party that has stood for the last thirty
years to the United States as Metternich
to Austria, the czar to Russia—a block to
progress. One of the great no ds of the
times is ethics In politics, and some method
of reform should be adopted. Our polities
are like that of England’s of the eighteenth
century, with "a band of intriguers fol
lowed by a howling mob." Let us hope
that within the next four years gre* d and
injustice, which now control the nation,
will be eliminated, that the voice of patri
otism and statesmanship will restore our
prosperity.
The merits of a party rests on its past
history and all who read and observe may
know the merits of ea h and all. I have
been a student of every political question
for several years, and am as much Inter
ested in politics as If I v.*. re allowed to
vote, and I believe if the democratic party
wins in the November election and again
proves recreant tn its trust, that the peo
ple will rise in their might against their

Dear Kingdom: Mrs. Josie Walker, Colum
bus, Tex., wishes a recipe for sweet peach
pickles. I will send one I have, which. I
think. Is very nice. The clingstone peach
es ate the best for pickling. After peel
ing them, weigh eight pounds of fruit,
four pounds of sugar, one quart of vinegar,
two ounces of stick cinnamon and two
ounces of cloves. 801 l the sugar and
vinegar with the cinnamon for live min
utes, hten put In peaches, a few at a
time, with one or two cloves In each
peach. When they are done enough to
prick easily with a fork take them out
and put In others to cook until all have
been cooked. 801 l the sirup down to one
half the original quantity, then drop the
peaches back Into the kettle and heat.
Take them out and put in jars and pour
the sirup over the peaches. Seal while
hot.
1 will also give two other recipes that
are nice:
Stufled Eggs—Six hard-boiled eggs, cut
In two; take out the yolks and wash fine;
then add two teaspoonfula of butter, two
of cream, salt and pepper to taste. Mix
all thoroughly and till the eggs with this
mixture. But them together and tie with
a thread. Then there will be a little of
the filling left, to which add one well
lieaten egg. Cover the egrs with this
mixture nnd then roll In cracker crumbs.
Fry a light brow n in boiling fat. X ery

I 'ri* d Cucumbers —Peel largo, wpl 1-
gr-wn cucumbers and cut in slices

vent the winds from jarring the roots too
much. After my roses commence bloom
ing I never allow them to become over
loaded with blooms. 1 pick off the buds as
they form and clip off the stems after the
roses fads, never allowing the old buds
to remain on the stalk; by allowing too
many blooms at once they will not bo so
perfect anil will not bloom as well, becom
ing exhausted. 1 wish you could see the.
grand display. 1 cut from my roses a few
days ago La France, La Pactoti, American
beauty, Mme. Lambart and others. J have
forty-two ever-blooming roses and quite a
number of early spring roses. Have you
the crested moss roses? They are among
my special favorites. 1 buy usually one
year-old roses, put them out in April, keep
covered' from sun several days, cultivate
them well, never allow them to bloom the
first season, pick off the buds as they
appear. The second season they will be
nice, healthy bushes and roses perfect.
From early spring until frost my roses are
constantly In bloom. 1 have my rose beds
bordered with hyacinths, tulips, lilies, tube
roses and sweet violets. Among the roses
I have amuls dwarf canmas, dahlias and
gladaolus. In mv front yard I have my
beds l>onler*'d with box, ornamental grass,
canmas and dahlias ami brighten them up,
with my stand of pit Howers. I have vines
on every veranda and will give you the
different varieties: Two kinds of moon
flowers, tuberously rooted wisteria rose
vine, maderla and l Dutchman's pipe, the
latter being a lovely vine for shade with
large, beautiful leaves and the flower a
perfi'i-t imitation of a pipe and stem. It
is perfectly hardy. I also have cinnamon
vino. The rose vine is beautiful, very
much like cinnamon, only it has pink roses,
delicate shade, very double. It is perfectlv
hardy. 1 will send to Aunt Susie or any
of the sisters this vine, maderla roots ami
tuberoses next spring ami any of the
sisters can exchange with me flowers they
ha t e.

I would like a situation In the south some
where as teacher either public or private.
M mother is a subscriber to The Consti
tution and we like it very much. With
best wishes to The Constitution and Aunt
Susie.
Mrs. L. M. Grigsby, Flat Lick, La.—After
quite a long silence I call to thank the sis
ters for their many encouraging and in
teresting letters. 1 have just read Mrs. R.
B. Simmons’s letter and 1 cun vouch for
what she says about ’’love jobs.” I've been
trying it, not only from a sense of duty,
but I realize that I am happiest when I
try to make others happy. If we do not
have flowers and as many good things to
distribute as some we can scatter seeds of
kindness in many different ways. Not long
since 1 was writing a letter to a widowed
lady and 1 told her wl-.at I heard my hus
band say about her only son. He said that
if her son lived he would make his mark In
the world. I felt from the bottom of my
heart that the mother would appreciate
the compliment and perhaps entourage
the son. I am sure that 1 felt I had done
some good that day, for In writing » n y'
thing wherein I wish to accomplish good
I always ask God to help and direct me
for the ±est. We lose many blessings and
miss some of the sweetest joys of life by
failing to call upon the name of the Lord.
Many of us pray at stated times or In
moments when danger threatens, while It
is our blessed privilege to hold constant
communion with the holy spirit who Is so
willing to hover about our Ilves and send
precious answers of peace to us. Last
week I went to my watermelon patch and
pulled the largest and best melon I hail
and carried it to an old lady eighty-four
j'ears old. She is confine'! to her bed but
not sii-k, and I thought that a cool melon
would be quite refreshing to her this hot
weather. Her life is slowly ebbing out
and she Is only ‘‘waiting, waiting” for the
Master to call for her. The Sabbath day
seems long when we neither have preach
ing, praye.r meeting nor Sabbath school.
Mrs. , Vine Clad Cottage, "An ad-
mirer of Woman’s Kingdom.”—l did think
I would be a silent admirer of our depart
ment, but I was so deeply touched by two
letters in last week’s paper that I decided
to once more mingle, with this Instructive
band. The beautiful pieces that impressed
mn so much were “A Beautiful Tribute to
Mother," and "Better Than Silver and
Gold,” and a letter from Mrs. M. V. Kaatz.
Hurtsville, Ya. There are so many beau
tiful and noble truths to be learned from
these I mention I am in hopes W’e will have
more articles of the kind in the future. I
feel that God has surely blessed me. Some
times I am blue, but that is worry. I don’t
think any one could have better neighbors
in sickness or health than I have. And
one neighbor especially is a beautiful char
acter. Oh, she has had so many trials,
but when she comes to see mo it is always
with a smile and her presence dispels all
gloom. I never heard her speak ill of any
one In my life and I have known her a
long time. She sees the good traits of
every one’s character and sees the silver
lining to every dark cloud, consequently
she Is beloved hy all that known her nnd
in sickness and trouble she Is her neigh
bors' greatest comfort and the first one
wo send for.
I enjoy doing good to others more than I
enjoy receiving good deeds, and that means
a great dial, because I am a woman that
values appreciation and gratitude more
than most any one. Let us strive to make
some one’s life happy’ besides •ur own, and
may we have more such beautiful articles
as we ha 1 in last week's paper. 1 enjoy
reading Bill Arp's letters. I’lnnkctt, Tal
mage's sermon. Woman's Kingdom, etc.
We have a splendid garden this year; In
fact, we have every year. My husband is
a farmer and he always has a good rop.
We have two sweet little boys and for
them we have planted pop corn, ground
peas, chufas, sugar cane ami sweet po
tatoes; such things in winter are a great
pleasure and dis;.. 1 many gloomy hours.
Many good wishes to all. I hope each and
nil of us will have a happy and prosperous
'ear. We take The Atlanta Constitution
and feel that we could .not do without it.

PRINCESS MAUD WEDS.
Will Have Only $70,000 To Keep
House On.
London, July 14.—Princess Maud’s wed
ding took place on the 15th.
The arrangements gave a great
deal of trouble owing to constant changes.
It has now been decided that there will be
three processions from the state apart
ments to the private chapel—the members
of the royal family and the royal guests,
the bridegroom and his supporters and the
bride and the bridesmaids.
The queen will be wheeled to the en
trance of the chapel, which she will enter
alone just before the bride. The queen’s
state trumpeters outside the chapel will
herald the arrival of each procession with
a fanfare.
Princess Maud, has already received five
bicycles as wedding presents.
Regarding the marriage settlement. It
appears that Princess Maud will have
£4,000 (SSO.OOO) out of the allowance granted
by parliament to the prince of Wales in
ISS9, and tho crown princess of Denmark
makes an allowance of £IO,OOO (s>j,oUO) to
Prince Charles,
The couple will occupy a suite of rooms
In the palace of the king of Greeoe at Co
penhagen. They will also occupy a villa
near Bernstorf castle as their country resi
dence In Denmark, while a small mansion
at Appleton, near Sandringham, will be
their English home.
Princess Maud has lately taken to "pok* r
work,” which consists in tracing and work
ing out curious oriental patterns with red
hot irons on wood. The princess has ap
plied this work to the ornamentation of
book covers.

Lilith, Adam's First Wife.
From Tho St. Louis Reporter.
The old Talmudists have a q leer legend
concerning the first pair created by tn**
Almighty. According to the s: . Lilith
was Adam's original ”hel,.inv t.” and Eve
was an after consideration, 'lie Talmud
says Lilith was created just m* Adam was
—out of the dust of the earth. Soon after
the breath of life had br< n breathed into
her ears (you will remember that the Bi-
•
entire nature changed to su h an extent
that she became a v--rital ’.* demon. A'« nt
this time the devil came amng, and, rec-

It is even said that cur word "lullaby” is
a corrutlon of an oriental t* rm. ‘lllll abi,”
which means “avaunt,” or "begone, L*-

still tie the amulets or charms around the
necks, waists, wrists, or ankles of their
babies in order to preserve them from
Lilith’s evil intentions.

An Uprecedented
Gain in Weight
A TRAINED NURSE GAINED
FIFTYoTfHREE POUNDS BY
USING A NERVE FOOD.
One of the Most Remarkable Results
on Record.
From The Gazette, Yonkers, N. Y.
“I don’t look rnuen like a living skeleton
now. do I? And yet two years ago I weigh
ed just seventy-two pounds,” sold Mrs.
J. W. Coffey, of 55 Warburton avenue,
Youkers, N. Y., to a reporter. And we
agreed with her, for she. certainly looked
anything but a living skeleton, but rather
bore the appearance of a plump and at
trnct v* lady in exc 11< nt health and spir
its. Continuing sne suid;
“I had lost my appetite and was wast
ing away in flesh, losing some fity pounds
in a few months. Doctors said i was
threatened with consumption. I was un
der what was regarded as first-class medi
cal treatment, but It had apparently little
or no effect, for 1 kept getting worse until
I waa ao weak that I hi la not attend
to my household dutl*s and could hardly
walk. My husband and everybody who
saw m<- tnougnt surely that 1 would die,
and there seem* d no help fur me.
“Tonics and stimulants and medicines
and
worse until at last I resolved to seek
•
the usual fine of nauseous drugs and
doses of stuff which seemed' to take away
what little relish 1 might perhaps other
wise have had for food. A friend told
me of some wonderful cures effected by
Dr. Williams’ I’lnk Pills for Pal* People
and 1 bought a box. The effect from
their • waa noticeable from th* first
and soon appeared almost miraculous, for
it s. ■ m***i pretty n< ririy hk* the raising
of one from tho dead.
"I soon commenced to eat, something
I had scarcely <h*tie before for Weeks, and
soon began to gain In flesh and strength.
I went one day to the doctor’s oftico and
he was surprised at the change in me
for tho better. 1 had to conf* sa that I
had I>* on taking the pills, and he was
broadminded enough to advise me to con
tinue what was evidently doing me so much
good. I took in all six boxes, and In
creased In weight front seventy-two to
one hundred and twenty-five pounds,
which is my regular and normal weight.”
”.\r ■ you sure Tho cure 1* permanent?"
“W* 11, y* -*. My work is tt .t of a trained
nu which means, as you probably
know, irregular hours and at tim**s great
exhaustion. During the two years since
