Better ttye S/rple
When niait Is the tempest an<l loud
And murmurs creation in pain.
The gloom of the thumler-chargo<l cloud
Transfigures in sadness the brain.
But when the glad beams of the sun
liestore to the heavens their blue,
The treasures of joyanee rewon,
Hearts pulsate with courage anew.
Adversity's storm hum.in life must deform,
The rains of denial come down;
But the light of good cheer every dark
ness should warm.
For better the smile than the frown.
To thorns must the rose be allied.
And joy to perspective of woe;
Our bosoms, though armored in pride,
I'nsatisfled longings must know.
Th, goblet that merriment fills
Disillusion's sour dregs must contain;
A moek'ry of emptiness chills
The goal that ambition may gain.
But eas<‘s ot rest dot the desert’s hot
breast.
With springs the thrist's rages to drown;
Though all may seem barren, we. are not
tin blest
While Hope wears a smile, not a frown.
O, turn from your night to the day
Who. ... plunders exalt and beguile.
Ami shed on th v we '.visome wiy
Os ymir follows a comforting smile!

WAR MEDALS WORN BY WOMEN.
Sim i iin beginning of tint'- women have
nobly -ho-,iid'red their share of burden
and respon ability when war dogs have
been 1 . 100. .'. fa n , 1. so.- .a . < laii.w
for special "rights" were set up, they were
accorded war medals and other orders of
merit and distinction won in home, hos
pital or on the battlefield.
The order of the Torch was one of the
earliest conferred exclusively upon women.
It was created in 114 S at the siege of Tor
tofin by the Moors. So hard pressed were
t! e m. n that the women plunged into the
fray and fought shoulder to shoulder witli
their husbands and sweethearts, their
courage shining like a torch—lienee the
name .if the order.
Napoleon, never too liberal in bis esti
mate of women, made a special provision
when the Cross of the Legion of Honor
was founded in Ixo2. that they should be
debarred from tho right of winning it. but.
when informed of the remarkable exploits
of a young girl. Virginie Ghesquire, who
disguised her six and enlisting in th.- place
of her invalid brother distinguish'd herself
on* the batik field, lie was induced to re
voke his decision, and sin.- - that time wo
men as well as men in France have as
pir. <1 to this badge of honor.
Nor was Virginie Gh. squire the only wo
man to win the Cross of the Legion of
Honor in Napoleon's time. Marie Schelling,
a Belgian girl, fought with the l.'reneli
armies at .lemappcs. .!■ nn and Austerlitz,
and was wound'd again and again. She
rose to the rank of sub-lieutenant, win it
her sex being accidently di-eovered. sb. -
was retired with the Cross of the I. -gi..'U
and a consllerablc pension.
Ono of the most int.-ri .-ting stories to
Am". "Hits, however, in connect ion with
the Legion oi' Honor, is its h;t\ ug bent
conferred ui n a little ten-yi-.ir-oid Am r

M■ . It S. Boldot Dm A’a Since
reading in the good old paper last week of
a daughter limling her father after nittetei a
y. are thrmigli The Constit utioli I come to
Woman's Kingdom for h'-lp. I have lost
.ill tr i' of a loving sis>er: h ive not heard
from le-r in about thirteen years, nlthoug.i
1 h ive tried; h.ivi- written siv rni times,
but liat " r.-. .-ived no atiswers. Her maid n
name was Martha Boden. We then lived
in Cobb county. Georgia. She married Al
bert Strickland, of Taekamingo county
Mississippi, ami went Hi.-re to live. Should
anyone who reads this Know of her where
b.mts or of iter children I would lie very
thankful to them if they would answer
through The Constitution or write direct
to mo at Danville, Ala.
Mrs. W. .1. Shelton, Freeland, Tex.—l
have been a reader of The Constitution but
a. few months, but have become an ad
mirer of tlie Woman's Kingdom and love
to read the sisters' letters. I agree with
-i'l. G. H., about girls marrying irreligiously
voung men. I, too. would like for some of
the sisters to tell me what kind of a book
"Millennial .Dawn” is. I have an impres
sion thnl it is an adventist book: am I cor
rect ? To the sister that wants to know
how to keep ants out of her cupboard, if
she will try setting the legs in water I
think she will find il quite eff -ftlve. ns they
cannot cross the water; that is the only
way I can keep them out of my safe. I use
tin boxes or lids for tho purpose.
Mrs. T. M. Hornsby. West, Ala.—T.ike
some of tlhe rest of Hie sisters, 1 too am
now ip trouble. Since my exchange of
Concord grape vims I hive received so
many letters of inquiry T w ll be obliged to
come to “the kingdom for help; some want
| to know how to can grapes and som< want
I to know if I will sell the vines, and wii.it
kind of goods. I will take two yards of
prints for each vine, and 1 will mail them
to you and pay postage; s< nd to all in Oc
tober. 1 am glad so many of the sisters are
interest'd in growing fruits.
How To Can Grapes-Carefully pick from
the stems ami wasli the grapes. Remove
' Lie . bins, dropping th' -pulp in om v< ss. I
j and till" skins in another. When all are
I tin’s prepared, put th" pulps in preserving
| kettle over the fire and stir until the seeds
I come out. then press through i-oland. r. mid
I slc'ns to pulp and weigh; to one pound ot
I grapes allow one li: If pound oi sugar; boil
I one and one-half hours, put in gl:i-’s Jars
' :lll( | ; il; tlhirti. n pounds of grap- am
j six ami one-half pounds of sugar yy.il till
| six quart cans.
S. M. -Some time ny, there appeared a
* l<-tter fi' in <.ne of the sisters giving her
| plan of eell’-ci'lturc, which impri .- ,-d me
I quite favorably. There are so few who
I continue seli’-improvcnient after marriage.
' Wilh ail the unthought-nf car's Hint
' crowd around one this neglect is not io be
wondered at, yet there is some tiim in
which every one can read ami study. As
; tile good sister has already said, such a
I tours, so inter. Is’ the mind tha' Hie
’ every-day duties b. '-otm- less burdensome.
Did you' ex er think how much happter a
I pi rson is whose mind is til!- d w.th giaml,

scions of it. in our young days when we
don’t feel like study; we .Irttdge over the
book with our thoughts half asleep ami as
a result give a fine exhibition of stupidity
in the recitation room. This sort of indul
gem-e in youth is very injurious and we
should be very particular to notice such de
feet and check and correct them In our
children before it be too late. On the heels
of this form of laziness comes another bad
habit, that of intellectual loafing. What
loafing is in Hie common sense, we all
know is hanging about, with no definite alm
or purpose, idling away the time without
profit. Well, there is mental loafing as
w. U ami it is known in the dictionary aS
reverie. It is a. dreary state of the mind.
When the thoughts go wool gathering this
habit so common to young people Is fatal
to mental growth.

r- id tome very fine novels that were botn
eliA.iting and instructive. I would con
demn li-i.-liy novels, though, especially
among young folks. It is not only a loss of
time to read such books, but it is also
very demoralizing, and mothers should be
vi. r.v careful to know what kind of books
their young daughters read and never til
-1 i'A them to r.-ad trash. I know Mrs. J.
L. Bowland, of Bobbitt, N. must be a
great render, especially of the Bible, the
best of ail books. I agree with her In

can’t refrain from saying a few words, after
reading that splendid piece of Aunt Susie’s
on "Heart to Heart Talks." Heart, to heart
talks are like listening to C'hristian experi
ences; th'-y are touchingly sweet and eon
soling. The world knows little of the op
pressed, burden' d ii'-a'-ls that are struggling
for existence in it. 1 think ev.-ry one have
th'ir sorrows, md all try'ng to conceal
the arrow tlhat is piercing their heart s
blood. Oftentimes ,-ucli lhearts are nearly
ready to succumb, when a Christian spirit
will speak gently to them and bid them
look higher and seek refuge in that Ro.-k
of Safety that is able and willing to cheer
and comfort tie in on t'h. ’r way. Ah, pre
clou.- r -fuge! How bleak and bare one's

Mrs. Grace Beard. Walhalla, S. ('.. I no
tice that there is an effort being made to
secure the return of the flags of the south
< rn confederiu-y now in northern possession,
pursuant to which 1 inclose herewith Hie
sto: containing the d.-serlption of a tl tg
w tieh I am exceedingly anxious to have
in my ■ wn hands, as it w.is borne by mv
ya.ii.--y;. .-: and 1 ivorile blether, who de d
of t'.ov. fever in Charleston, having been
the < ommisi try dep irt meht
aft.-r having been ineap i- italed for further
field si.rvi.-e. I will here give the story of
th< flag, hoping that if may fall under th*
eye o', someone who can an I w ill give in
formation as to Hs present v.'hereal’oiits
and tints lead to its recovery as a relic.
This Hag was presented to Company I-’,
T.velt'h South Curoiina yalunteirs, by Mr
Adney Johnson, formerly a native of M.'s
fachusetts. It was a flag of elegant de
sign and was used asm regimental flag, al
though it belonged to Company F, which
was in command of t'antain Huger Me-
Meekin and was carried through fourteen
ei'ga.'ti tnetits, David James (my brotherl
co.or-bearer ft was utten remarked of
him by lis comrades that "he did not know
th© feeling :-ar ” At the batth of
Bharpsbut j h< tis several paces in ad
vs.nce of his regiment -vb.-n he ran, unex
pected.y, upon a .;n<-' of fe-lerals who were
ambushed in t < irn field, and who Imme
diately sprang up and gave the order to
surrender. An fiber, who r.v.i: near by at
the time, afterwards stated that his reply
was. "Not much!'' At the .same time he
called to Ned Willingnam whl.e defending
himself with the handle of the flag, "Ned,
shoot these fellows!” In the contest for the
flag four federals were killed .and James
was wounded in several places, one ball
breaking his right wrist. He sank down,
still holding to Hie colors though the stall’
was broken, and was carried off the field
still holding onto his flag, and when the
confederates retired they carried the color
bearer and flag with them. This flag w.ts
sent back to Air. Johnson. who for
safe keeping, placed It. in his par
lor where 1 afterwards saw
it. It. bore the names of the officers and
privates composing eomv my I'', Twelfth
South Carolina, volunteers; also the l.il
tles through which it had come and bad
boon riddled with bullets. Hie staff having
been shattered just below- the canvas, the
material of which was silk and had re
tainer) its color admirably- well.
Tho last seen of the flag, to my knowl
edge, was when Sherman passed ro . 1
Fairfield county. South Carolina, wlt"i. its
owner, Mr. Johnson, lived. The ...Idiers
took it from his parlor, depositing it in ..tie
of the train wagons. T heard ri lady say
that when they found the flag the" .yelled
until the earth shoo!; and .rowed their In
tention of carrying it to Washington.
Mrs. L. D. M.. Baldwyn, Miss. I have
just read the Woman’s Kingdom, and Jus
tltia's letter, “A. Plea for the Boys." And
how I pity' the boys of that mother, who
regards the training of boys of less impor
tance than that of girls. Who knows but
that the time may' come when that poor
mother ma.y be bowed with shame for
the conduct of those boys? Would that
every mother and father could realize
that their boys need more careful training
than girls. Why? Because they are natu
rally rougher disposed than girls, and evil
influences oftener surround them after
they are grown up. 'Tiny must go out into
tlie world and make their own way wltcre
girls can lie cared for at. home, what
mother is there in all this broad land
that would willingly allow her precious
daughter to marry or ev-11 associate with
a bov or young man whose murals had
been neglect, d by his own mother? 1
dare sav not one. I have sometimes s'-.-n
parents rather too exacting witli lit'ir
daughters, but never liave I seen one too
exacting with boys. Nine tin” s out of ten
girls have more respect tor th"ir parents
than their brothers do, and why? Simply
because they have had more careful train
ing than their brothers have.
They have not be< n allowed to take
ball and bat and go to tlie open field and

In the Mexican Household.
From Modern Mexican.
As all cooking is done with charcoal and
ovens are praetically unknown in private
houses, very few famili-.s l ake bread. Tho
small hard-crusted loaves of French brc.-id
are delivered all over the city In great bas
kets four feet across that are carried on
the heads of cargadores.
The arrangement of furniture is much
more formal than in tlie (Tilted Stales. It
is a very common sight to see a splendidly
furnished parlor with .1 row of straight
backed chairs .ill alike with their hacks
against the wall and as close togi-t.h r as
they can lx- pliuad clear around tii room.
Heavy, single doors, such as .ire used in
the l'nited Stales, are praet ic.i lly unknown
In Mexican houses either at entr.aiic s or
between interior rooms. All doors open In
the niitldle and are fastened with bolts top
and bottom. Exterior doors are always
lilted with glass pannels, for they also serve
as windows. Ail such doors opening on
tho street or open court aro fitted with
solid shutters tha: are folded a t tie sides
out of sight wlieii not in use.
A good Mexican cook reliex s the m -tress
of the house of worry and r. - ponslbility
in a manner that is almost unknown in the
l’nited States. The cook : csven so inueh
