He can care for our lambs far better than we can. Take heart, poor, sorrowing mother, let Him "doeth what seems well in His sight.” A young girl once said. “It would weigh me tp the earth to see all the unhappy people and the wicked ones that I meet If I could not pray for them. When I see something unutterably depressing that I can’t reach, the only way I can throw off the burden of it Is by thinking a quick little prayer. After that I realize how it is all in God’s hands.” How often I have felt in this way— there seems to come to me so much sor row and suffering day by day—we meet grief everywhere, we long to help, but feel how utterly powerless we are—wo cannot touch with words the sorrow of many broken hi arts. Then what can we do but take their burdens with our own, and put them ’’all in God’s hands,” then leave them there? Many think they take their grief to God, but they do not leave It—right from their knees they go and ■oon find they are. not comforted-for they have not left It In His bands.

Futch, Thomasville, Ga.— 'Tis UM-1.-ss to say that 1 love the old Constitution. When 1 say we have been a regular subseriib. r for twenty years, it wilt be sufficient proof of its apprecia tion at our home. I sr-e so many ap plying through tit. Kingdom for help, I will ask If there Is a |sior. needy girl or woman who would like a home in the country, with an old couple who have no children, to do hous. keeping, s’-wing, etc., caro for us when we are sick. If there is one, would like to correspond with her. Probablj some one would get a life time job. Cannot make specifica tions her. , as it would be sure to go to .. i. basket. 1 will pay wa*es or take on.- as a member of the family; but prefer the former. We have u good country her.’, in southwest Georgia, raise I n* we want m great q lantitk •. our fruit crop has been abundant this year, also everything else that is raised on the farm.

A Reader of The Constitution, Whites- i vide, Ga.—After reading the dear King dom this week I f< * I like I want to say j a few’ words in r< ply to ’’Noliody's John." I You wrote a nice letter, my bachelor i lri< nd. but I don't think mother needs any advice along the lines you mention ed. When I get all run down washing and Ferubbing. mflking. cooking and do ing the hundnd and one things that’s to be done around a country home, 1 fe« 1 like 1 am glad siu didn’t know anything new to learn in< But house work is not all with me, there is the horse to see aft' r. to hitch or unhitch, as the case may I* ; tion-’s the cotton to chop, hoe and pick, and there’s the riding around on business lor papa sometimes, and - but well. I’ll hush right here, fur already I . xpe«-t some good sister Is framing a b eture in her mind for me and my m< n folks. But don't be too harsh, sisters, for papa works for the public and the boys are married and gone; and really I wouldn't take anything for the little I know about hous<-k< «'plng. And really, sisters, it is a tine lesson to teach your girls how to eook and keep houae. For wliat joung min would want a girl who didn’t know whether she was putting soda or calomel in biscuit? Mrs. M J-. Blake. Tex.—Dear 81st rs: flow many of you had relatives on the last train that went out of Atlanta during th” si«ge there? When 1 read Mrs King’s "R« minis < itce.s of the War*’ 1 could not reirain Ircm shedding tears. 1 think ptub a dy she gave my near dving brother a drink of water. lie was wounded on the !2d of July Wd. and on the dawn of I the Xlkl he Was taken out of a tent by the railroad >nd put on the last train mid uad Ih fore he reached the hospital.

If there THE WEEKLY CONSTITUTION: ATLANTA, GA., MONDAY, SEPTEMBER 3, 1900. is one rebel or several that went out of Atlanta on the last 'rain, let us hear from him through the Woman’s Kingdom. I know Aunt Susie will give him room to speak for himself. Mrs. J. Clymer. Rock Springs. Tex.— Having sent my onions to so many, I now give my recipe for pickling same. Feel the small potato onions and pour over them boiling hot brine, strong enough to bear an egg. I,et stand twenty hours, then drain and pour over boiling spiced vinegar; tie closely when cool. For sweet! pickles, add sugar to the spiced vinegar, drop the onions in and boll a minute or two, then can and seal. 1 can not furnish onions to any more this sea son. I si-e in The Constitution of July 16th a sister gives th« recipe of canning with salicylic acid. She says fruit put up with the acid is very healthy and also says tho add is perfectly harmless. Now, If I um not mistaken, there Is a law against using this acid for preserving, and I know It has been well settled of late that salicylic acid is really a <ld<»- terlous drug. Now, sisters, let us bo very careful In giving our recipes fl nd Im* sure we give nothing that is delete rious to the health. Now. Aunt Susie, If you will permit me, I will warn the sisters against answering the letters H. G. Tatum, Riverside. N. C„ Is sending to the Kingdom sisters, ns he does not give value for value received. A hint to the wise is sufficient. Note—We have warned others often against tho use of salicylic mid It is pronounced by all reliable druggists as dangerous. Dolores, Sawey, Ark.—lt wasn’t tho right thing to do, neglect a duty, but I just had to. It was a hot morning In August and I had just finished traking sweet pickle and sat me down in the cool south window of tho sitting room and took up a pair old pants to mend Idle 1 was darning away on the refractory pants and wishing with all me heart that ail the men weie in China or s >m< where else tl do hate to darn pai.tsi, me • yes fell on tho Weekly Constitution. Now 1 am very p:irtlal to the above, nieir tl< ned pajaT, and especially Aunt Susie’s department, so when 1 turned to ’ \\o n.i.n's Kingdom” down went the panta loons, and In a moment 1 was reading the letter of "Nobody’s John." Not often do 1 feel called upon to "talk back to a man,” but by the time I’d finished read ing that letter I was ready to say my w< man’s say. and give him "ginger blue.” I? I could have got In a word Just then why the north state bachelor would have had a regular Scotch-Irish tongue lash ing from in "Arkansas hoosier.” How evtr. as dinner was waiting to be cooked, iu,d a hungry man at my house waiting to eat it, 1 could hardly stop to write an article for the press, even If I had neg lected tho pants to read the North Caro lina man’s letter. What a world We live In!

How I would love to tell you what I think on the woman’s subject, but this small woman must stop and cook supper, tis course I’d rather k<ep on talking; it’s e heap more nicer than going to that "hateful >ll kltch< n,' but w an n must work, follow duty's pitli und do the work hat needeth to bo done. Mrs. D. E. Fuller. Tampa. Fla —I have been a silent reader of the Woman h Kingdom for some time and enjoy what the different ladles say. 1 find we may be of much help to each other by giving our experiences In chicken raising. 1 will try and la- brief und tell you all my ex perience with Incubators and cliiekens. Mv husband seeing my great desire lor raising chickens purchased me an in cubator—3<>u egg size. 1 sei and hatched seventy-five out of iny first. 1 was obliged to buv my eggs. so. of course, 1 bought anywhere. One kind old farmer had twenty dozen, so 1 thought 1 was soon to have mv machine full of eggs, but not knowing that it would ruin eggs for hatching that wire allowed to get grease on the shell: he always stands h.s eggs on end in bls smoke house and g:. i•. is on tiie ground, so 1 never got one ehlck from those eggs. The balance 1 got anywhere anil not thinking ot anything but eggs 1. of course, procured some who had one or two liens und had been saving a month or so to get a dozen or two. Well l>ought experience is tho best, so not being easily discouraged 1 cbaa d and determined to try again, fills time I found a dear old lady three miles from home who could furnish me with nice fresh Plymouth Rock eggs every time 1 wished them, as she had a hun dred nice laying hens, so 1 hatched this time of line chicks. Os course all the books on chicken raising advise after tw« nty-four to thirty hours to feed tho chicks every two to four hours or several times a dav and being anxious to rush them and follow the advise of poultry Journals 1 kill'll nearly all w.th ovvii. •■<!- in;’, inii I kept <>n trying till 1 hatched 2.‘*«i nice chicks and. di ar readers, let me tell you right now. never feed chicks 'but three tiun -a day ami is regular about your feeding hours, but give them nice fresh water every two hours all through tile day and wash the drinking dishes each time. In my first drinking water each dav 1 put one teaspoonful of Epsom salts to each gallon of w’au r and 1 find it keeps tlum healthy, teed all the elabliered milk they will eat. It is seldom I have a siek chicken. if any signs of sorehead gets among them give one teasiHMinful of pulveriZ'd bluestone to everv tw nty-.’ive chicks in ma ii ottec a dav for thr<-« day rind all is over, the pla -es show s ;;ns of forming a scab and healing at once. 1 find there ure many Ills that will trouble chicks in l-'loi’ida that the northern sisters never have to contend with For fear my letter Is con signed to the wastebasket 1 say goudby. Miss Roxie S‘r ets, Ix’Xli gton. N. •?. — I know that every member of our king dom was more than delighted this week to have Aunt Susie’s sweet features and the short sketch ot her life as given in Tito Constitution. 1 expect to take extra care of that numoer ot the pape.-, and am sure many others will do likewise.

Iness or pleasures, there certainly is not much lo nieourigo her in so doing. 'Tis true she may sometimes be extravagant, but o more true of women than of men, for often they do W’orm- than merely vuste it. A woman who, during her girlhood, may have had her own spending money, either given her or earned by her self. will certainly find it humiliating af ter marriage to have- to avk tor every dime or dollar given her. Now ! do not believe men, as a rule, treat th fir wives thus, for many of them are good, kind, noble, generous und thoughtful of those they have promised to ”!cve and protect.” But 1 know that there are others who do not treat their wives as they should, and do not appreciate all that they do to make home a neat, attractive place. Note—The editor h:ts asked that all al lusion to the coupon system b<> omitted; It takes up space that can bo utilized to better advantage. Mrs. Eva Adams, Odessa, Mo—l have been a reader of Tho Constitution for i two years and have often desired to write you how much I enjoyed your depart nent, but have feared 1 might crowd out tetter letters: but I have just promised Tommy Bockhart, of Wellington, Mo., that I would tell tho Juniors about my Visit to him, so I feel tljat this letter is a duty as wdl as a pleasure. I had hearl, fr< ir mutual friends, of Tommy's ca.se, had read his book and when 1 read Ills last letter in The Constitution I resolved to see him tha first time 1 could go to Wellington, which is fifteen miles. 1 knew that his bjok toll the true iiury of his i re. but no one could realize the great pity of It without seeing him. in his book lie says nothin,; of his personal appear anci, and he told me that the writers of s< me of the letters lu ha 1 rec dved asked If he were w.liite >r bl ick. For the benfe fit of tiiose who so kiifdly helped him, 1 wish I could paint his picture as I saw him last Sunday. The uietjro in his book shows his position, but of course is not dear. He ilas fin i delicate le iluros, is very fair, and lias soft brown <-y's, brown hair, golden brown m i itache. a boyish innocent expression, and a jfie.m int voice, although lie talks just as his book says— ci'iiuot move his jaws at all.

His ink bottle sets at his left hand and every time ho must put down the ho ik on whi 'i ho writes, take the pen In his left hand, dijis it In the ink. then puts It back in his right hand and tak ■ up his book again. In his book lie says that ho iften gets bitter and cynical, but those noods are surely of short duration, for they 'Io not leave their traces on liii face. !lis friends say’ that ids patience and cheerfulness arc wonderful, ile in<l his motn<*r Ilv- iileno and she Is growing old.

(Photo from The Christian Herald.) alt parts o' the World. The home life of tl.ls family is an illustrious example to all the ilomestie life of Denmark, a : the homo life of his sister on the throne of Russia, was an inspiring example to all the homestead : of Russia. The oldest daughter of this princely household is a marvel of beauty and good sens: , speaking English almost ns Well as Danish. The younger daughter excused herself for an aft 1 noon horse back ride, and on our way out through the palace park we saw her riding under the careful guardianship of a groom. After conversation th” whole group ac i eompanied us In a ramble through tho I r< yal gardens; amid trees themselves ■ monarchs and by fountains that had | crowns of rainbow and by flower beds where queens of beauty reigned. After 1 the ladies of our party had captured i all the princely autographs they wished i to win, we left this brilliant homo. But 1 the kindness of these royal folks did I m t cease when we descended th" steps, for tiie lovely group of tho palace stood ' waving to us from the windows as long as wo were lu sight, so that the warmth of the welcome was not more marked than was tho heartiness of tho goodby. We rode through a forest whore royalty hunts, und the deer stood quietly watch ing and fearing nothing, as though they knew we could not shoot. But what re gard for trees! Would that we hid as much of such rev« retice in Amerio i. Ala for the Iconoclasm of th.' ux! How it has defaced landscapes and dospoth d climates In our own beloved land! But here, in tM» roj al park, they stand disturbed and honored by all xvho pa.-s. Vast uinbrageousness, with allluence of foliage in full leaf, fitting fall here and there a few yards of sunshine to mike ■ the scene more picturesque and bewitch ing. Oh, the trees! No one but Almighty God could make one—so graceful, so strong, so uplifting, so suggestive, so grand, so intermediate of earth and heav ti. No wonder they have been cop ied in the pillars of temples, for many of tiie cathedral pillars tire only trees in stone. Aye, this entire king’s forest in Denmark is a cathedral ages ago dedi cated. and these bonding brant lies are the arches, and this fountain is the bap tismal tout, and the birds are the choris ter.. at matins and vespers, morning ami evening, praising tho Lord, and win n shrill winds sweep through this forest they sound the soprano, and th” roarim,' thunders roil the bass In tiie grand march of God tn the storm. Style of a cathedral built by thd Creator thousands of years before the architects drew the plan lor St. Paul’s at London, or St. Peter’s at Rome, or St. M irk’s at Venice, or St. Sophia at Constantinople, or St. Isaac at St. Petersburg. We wonder not at what George W. Morris, the great song writer of America, told us in our boy hood. Ho said he was seated In an audience in New York city when a great vocalis twas rendering Morris’s famous PLANTER’S DEATH AVENGED. Negro Killed His Employer and Was | Shot to Pieces. Rutherfordton, N. C., August 28. (Spe cial.)—Miles H. Flack, ex-state represent ative. was shot and instantly killed nt his plantation at 9 o’clock this morning, near Forest City, seven miles from here, by his negro renter, Avery Mills. Mills was qub kly arrested and almost as quick ly taken from the officers while on the way to Jail, carried yards from tho main road and riddled wdth bullets by a mob of about twelve, though there wore fifty or more followers. Flack and his son went to the form this morning to pull fodder. They were halted by Mills, who said they had threatened to shoot his wife about seme fruit being taken from the orchard. Mills’s wife hearing tho quarrel, brought Mills a pistol anil ho deliberately shot b'lack. the hall entering just below tho heart. Flaek shot the negro with his shotgun ami broke it into pieces over his head. Yeung Flaek took the pistol ami shot tho negro tn the hip but not seriously injuring him. Flaek died in one hour and with the negro and wife the song, "Woodman. Spare that Tree,” and an aged man in the audience was so wrought upon by the ballad that he rose, and with tears rolling down his cheeks cried out: "Will tho singer who has Just sung that song please to tell us whether tho woodman did spare that tree?” It is rermrkaMo that Copenhagen seems yot presided over by Thorwalden s spirH, although that greatest sculptor of his time dropped dead in the theater of this city more than half a century ago. Though born Tiere, a compara tively small part of his life was passed in this Danish capital. His father, a carver of figureheads for ships, the immortal son began with such cuttings In wood and kept on until for all ages to come he carved in stone the figures of day and night and the reasons and Adonis and Ganymedes and Mercury and tho Graces and five hundred speci mens <>f sculpture. When ho return'd from Rome, where he chose to study and work for the most of his artist’s life, not only Copenhagen, but tho na tion, joined in procession to welcome him. I Ho sleeps in tho yard of the museum named after him. in a bank of fiowi the place selected by himself. But whichever way you go in the city you find something Thorwal Isen’an. While you worship in one of tho churches the twelve apostles look down upon you wliile they aro wrapped in robes of nitr ide that seem soft as v-lv t and gar ments the curves and wrinkles of which si'em the work of a clothier rather than of a sculptor, while tha countenances of the sacred twelve give expression to the courage or the caution or the wlsd -tn or tho faith or the love which was sup posed to be the apostolic < haracteristlc. Indeed, the most of Thorv.aidsen’s later works wire consecrated to religion. To me the most impress!'’., of all his statuary Is his figure of Christ. It Is gigantic in s'ze. but the alliance of ten derness and power In the C ’’:ntenance of our Ixird and the outspread arms of In vitation and the planting of the foot with Infinite firmness proclaim him ready to wino a tear or thio to save a world. W at power In scu’ptor’s chisel to preserve from age to age the heroes, the emancipators, tho rulers, the orators, the statesm n, the mighty mon and women of the world. In th<> streets or public squares of all the great capitals of Europ. there are equestrians that seem in saddle of bronze rid ng out of tho past Into the present. Tho equestrian statu© of I’< ‘er th" Great In Admiralty square. St. Petersburg, is most remarkable; two sailors were so Impressed with it that they- r< solved to ascend It. and having been accustomed to cllrnb the mast, they quite easily climbed this groat statu", and ore of them seated himself on th" bronze horse before I’et’ r tiie Great and the other be hind him. But this gallop of the heavens was interfered with by th" police who considered it a desecration for these sail ors to attempt to rid with the famous emperor. The offenders were arrested and tried an 1 fined 3HI roubl-s each. They complained to tho court that the flics were excessive, but the Judtro replied: "If people rid" with royalty they ought to expect to pay for the honor." In a mor© j sensible way than that employed b ythos© sailors we all feel like expressing our ad miration for the sublime art of sculpture. To us the sculptor’s chisel ni"ans more than the painter’s pencil. Though so long this art of expression In stone h n impressed tiie work! It will be about t o 1 last art to leave It. Having looked Into ( the faces of oth. r centuries, ft wRI io< k into the face of th,, last century’s exis tence. After most of the other arts have perished at tho end of the world, and th* painti’i's’ canvas has crumbled In the last conflagration, and tho musician’s harp strings have broken under tho finger!eg of the last fire, sculpture will still con tent the t-uin of the earth, its Canova a nd Thorwaldsen statuary baptiz ’d in flam. s an«l the equestrians in stirrups of bronze and marble will ride their horses Into the red surges of a burning world.

North Georgia Citizen: Five hundred acres planted for the seed Is un unusual sight. Tim editor visited a farm in Gordon county the past week thus employed. Think of twenty five acres of okra, an acre of egg plants, hun dreds of acres devoted to watermelons, wheat. Corn, tomatoes, mustard, potatoes, etc. Situated eighteen miles northeast of Cal houn, anl thirty-four miles southeast of Dal ton, In Gordon county. Is th" 1,200-acre farm of Major Hurt, which is devot’ d to raising seed for America's greatest and best-known seedsmen. Here you can flnd the scientific farming we read so much of Ci the farm jour nals. It Is an ideal spot, not only for a horn-', hut for the pun>ose to which it is devote.!. To any farmer who wishes to l?ost himself as to the best method of scientific and intensive farming, this place should be his mecca at harvest time. Think of $75,000,000 annually being spent for garden and field seed, but such is the truth as we gathered from W. M. Vary, a sor.- !n-law of Major Hurt who, with Julian Hurt, manage the big industry. It's a pleasing sight to see and sounds very Snvitatioß3 to Wfom_en 1 All the world knows of the wonder* ■ ful cures which have been made Lydia E.
