Don't look for the flaws as you go through life; And even when you find them, It is wise and Jdnd to be-somewhat blind, And look for the virtue behind them. For the cloudiest night has a hint of light Somewhere In Its shadows hiding. It Is better by far to hunt for a star. Than the spits on the sun abiding. The current of life runs ever away. To the bosom of God's great ocean; Don’t set your force ’gainst the river course And think to alter Its motion. —FLORENCH NEENAN. BORROWING NEIGHBORS. What subject could be more suitable to Womants Kingdom than to discuss that of “borrowing neighbors?” If there is one class of people in the world more to be dreaded than another It is a neighbor who is continually bor rowing. Not long since I visited a family In the country, and the articles borrowed by a neighbor were a revelation to me. Each day almost there came some queer request—l think from a pint of milk up to wagon and horse could scarcely cover the ground. Could people only realize what a pest they heroine, surely the habit, of borrowing would cease. There is no excuse for city people. Sometimes In the country many things cannot bo bought, b it in a city house hold goods especially can be obtained at so small a cost that there is no ex cuse for borrowers. Every ore who manages right can afford to keep a step ladder, scrubbing brush, preserving ket tle. wheelbarrow and numbers of other things that every housekeeper ought to have, and yet those who do provide themselves with such convenient and nec essary comforts have to see them lit erally worn out by their neighbors. One gets used to the continual demand for a cup of rice, or sugar, or vinegar, sometimes returned, but often not. “Pa tience,” often, “ceases to be a virtue,” especially when your nice preserving kettle Is returned burnt and ruined from cooking okra and tomatoes; but it is all In a body’s I fetlme, and If we did not have this to trouble us, doubt less there would be something else that would. A sister writing in the July Woman’s Homo Companion has certainly had some experience, if she has not been a sufferer, and wo mtlier judge the latter. She gives some such good augges’lon'j tiiat we submit them for the benefit of other sufferers: “Make special provision for the ‘always borrowing and never-returning’ neigh bor. Keep a 6-cent scrubbing brush handy, and your good brush nowhere tn biglil. Having learned from experi ence that borrowed napkins never coma home, loan the ragged ones (nicely ironed, so the li 1- s do not show when folded), or Imv .< new, cheap set, and always keep them ready. ’Site’ can’t object to then s i long as they are new. and you will s< ->n save their price by not having your best ones lost or used as jelly strainer.- (Neighbors sometimes do these things) A cracked lamp chimney is Just as good to loan, and will probably eome home in ns good condition as would anj other. If you have an old carpet stretcher that you never think of using, don’t throw It away; it will be conve nient for the ‘ln ly next door’ in the spring and autumn. Give one of the boys the tack hammer to keep, then when it is asked for 01 course you do not know where it is. (Caution—lie sure to keep the boy where you can easily find him when you want to use the hammer.) postage stamps may be kept in a tin box on th" back porch, and you may conscientiously say, “I don’t believe there's a stamp in the house.” Fibs are not to be < ncoiiraged, but it often does lequlre considerable planning, scheming and strategy to keep one’s private be longings, from a toothbrush to a fur oar. and the family property, from the irk screw to the baby, anywhere near 1 believe th.- only thing exempt from habitual borrowers are babies or children. No one wants them. '1 lie best advice to be given -s, if possible, keep from being a "borrowing neighbor” and making your e- ls a constant nuisance. “ANSWERED PRAYER.” Among my friends I number one who is a <icir little woman that only lives to do good and help others. She Is a minis rer’s wife, and fills that position perfect ly. She does as much good as her hus band. for she is indeed his “helpmeet.” She is also a writer, and not long silica gave me a little leaflet she had written that I etij-'w d so much 1 felt I would like my read-us to share it with me. It may touch some ho art and comfort some sorrowing soul. The title is as above: “Let us prat.” said the minister. The congri g.-.tlon reverently arose cind to gether th> y prayed. "O God, whose never failing Providence ordereth all things both In heaven and earth; we humbly beseech Thee to put away from us ail hurtful things that would separate us from Thee, and give us those things that be profit able for us; through Jesus Christ, Thy Son. our Lord, who liveth and reigneth with Thee and the Holy Ghost, ever one God, world without end. Amon.” • * • ♦ • Months afterwards, when a. mother who hh-l with earnestness johied in the prayer, had so: gotten it. her Heavenly Father remembered and in mercy answered. To her Ho gave two children. She was a devoted mpther and gave herself to her children. Lately it had seemed almost Imposslblefto leave them long enough to attend the church service. She had stopped trying to attend the Missionary Society, and the superintend- Cholera Infantum There is no danger whatever from this disease when taken in time and properly treated. All that is necessary is to give Chamberlain’s Colic, Cholera and Diarrhoea Remedy after each operation of the bowels more than natural and then castor oil to cleanse the system. It is safe and sure. When reduced with water and sweetened it is pleasant to take. ent had boon obliged to find another teacher for her Sunday school class. Her 1 fust duty, of course, was to her children, and when that was over there seemed to be no time for other duties. Even the time she used to spend in meditation and secret prayer now was claimed by her children. Her pastor saw that she was not living near the Lord as she had in the past, and he was troubled but knew not what to do. The Father, too. saw, and knowing what was separating her from Him, took the llttles ones to Himself. The papers an nounced the sad and untimely death of two little children, but the Father knew that a prayer had been answered and that that which had separated a soul from its God had been removed. In anguish the mother looked up to see what hand had so afflicted her and saw the loving hand of an all-wise Father. She had prayed that God would remove that which separated her from Him and He had answered. There were no baby voices now to call her from her devotions, 'and she had time to draw near to God. Now that it was too late, she saw that there was no conflict, between her duty to her children and to her God, unless she made it so. Now she saw that the little ones which had separated her from G-od who gave them, should have bound her more closely to Him. She saw now that she had made her children an excuse tor neglected duty. The poor bleeding heart that had nowhere else to turn looked to the Lord for healing, and tenderly He , healed it. “THE JACKET OF GRAY.” What a wonderful paper our Constitu tion is—a circulation that takes in the whole country and crosses the ocean. This Is hard to realize, but let a little notice catch the eye that pleases the fancy, arid then see the letters pour In making inquiries, then you would know what the circulation of our Weekly is. Not long since we noticed a piece of musjo composed by a confederate vet eran, S. B. Woodberry, of Charleston, S. C. It begins: 1 “Fold it up carefully. Lay It aside. Look on It tenderly. Touch it with pride ” This music Is being sold by Miss Rosa Woodberry, Athens, Ga. Forty cents a copy, for the benefit entirely of the Win nie Davis memorial hall now being built in that city. We failed In our previous notice to mention price of music, hence letters have poured In from every state in the union, north, south, east and west. It is a beautiful song and being used for a good cause. Address Miss Rosa Woodberry, care of Lucy Cobb Institute, Athens, Ga, INQUIRERS’ CORNER. J. H.

I love to ponder o’er the past— When life was fair and bright, When glowing stars their beauty cast A stream of heavenly light. Imbued with love's Immortal fire, To nourish germs of thought And Joys more fitting to-lnspire Than all that age hath wrought. These are thy fruits, oh! waning years— A consecrated host— Recalled from all that most endears. Os which fair Time may boast No sweeter theme, Love's rosy bend. The glory of old days, United both In heart and hand And Virtue's winning ways. The young, the proud, the true, the brave. In matchless spirit free. Who died, alas! their land to save From wrongs that should not be. Despite of every ill they bore. The glory still Is theirs— A watchword from the days of yore. In which my spirit shares. Give back, oh Time! the drcams of youth-* The beauty of those hours— Each glorious token of the truth Gleaned from affection’s flowers; The freshness that the heavens diffused From mountain, wood and vale; The kindred stars on which I mused, That never once grew pale. Oh! wake once more the gentle strain. So musical and sweet. And bear me back In dreams again, Where household kindred meet— To mother, who repaid the trust To her by love then given. Whose form now mingles with the dust, But»-mother lives in heaven. The shadows of long years extend And reach Into my heart; But hope and joy with duties blend And form the better part. Perchance a glow of love divine May o’er my soul be cast— ‘Tis all I ask at heaven’s shrine When nil of earth Is past. FLORIDA PRESSLEY REED. West Point, Ga. KINGDOM CORRESPONDENCE. J.

Any In formation will be gladly received and postage returned. Ijist seen In Charles ton, S. C., and Is supposed to be in Geor gia somewhere. His children are very anxious to hear about him. also bls grandchildren. It Is to hfs Interest that we would like to hear from him. "A Subscriber.”—Won’t some one please give Woman’s Kingdom a good recipe for making pickle that will keep a long time? I get more eggs than we can con sume. How can ? keep thorn frosh until winter? I want a good home remedy for catarrh of the head I guess .some one will say, "She wants so much and gives nothing.” Mrs Jane Hart Henderson, Warrenton, Va.—l enjoy reading The Constitution very much, especially the Woman’s King dom; but never before thought of writing. Now I am so much In need of advice, and dear Aunt Susie and the sisters show sympathy and willingness to interest themselves in the troubles of others, therefore, hoping for some helpful sug gestions. I make known the difficulty. There lives quite near me a bright, at tractive, young girl, aged 15. who often comes to visit me and makes me the, confidant of all her joys anil sorrows, and often consults me In her perplexities. She Is fond of good reading, and we ex cliange everything of value In the literary line that either one of us can procure, and our discussions and conversations I find helpful to myself, while endeavorlm-j to supply my young friend with the men tal food which she so craves and -which she finds It not always easy to procure. This child is extremely anxious for a good scholastic education and the train ing of a good school and an opportunity to graduate. Thinking that some of the bright sisters might be able to tell me of some free scholarships or suggest some method by which a girl entirely without means might compass her great desire and ambition. 1 pass her confidences on to the Woman's Kingdom. I wish all of the sisters who are fond of the young could know this child, they would each one wish to give her a word of encourage ment. Her winning manner, radiant smiles and bright and amusing conversa tions make her presence always welcome to old and young, for my little boys are as much pleased as I when she can spare j a few moments out of her busy life to | gladden our home. The Infirm health of her father unfits him for work, therefore the mother and daughters, with willing minds, but not very strong hands, carry on the little farm and support the house hold as best they can. All are busy, and each one does her part cheerfully, with very little in a remote country neighborhood to brighten their Ilves. All suggestions will bo thankfully received. F. W. McComas, Ranger, W. Va.—Be ing a reader of The Atlanta Constitution I notice a member of the Woman's Kingdom from south Georgia asks tor a recipe for drying snap beans so that they will taste fresh. In answer I will say 1 know of no such recipe, but the following is the way my mother ami others in this country dry snap beans: First, select the beans while they are tender, and string them, but do not break them except at one end as you do when stringing for immediate use; then, take a large sewing needle and about No. 30 spool thread and put as many on the thread as is convenient to handle and hang them on a pole or something else around the stove until thoroughly dry. , and then pack uwav In a barrel or box ' and keep dry. And to prepare them fur the table put as many as you choose to cook in an cart hern vessel or a stove pot and pour boiling water over them and add about one teaspoonful of soda and I let set over night. Next morning take I them out of tills water and put them [ on and boll about five minutes, (hen take i them out of this water and rlnss with J WASTE OF MONEY IN FRUITLESS EFFORTS TO CURE STOMACH TROUBLE. Not Artificial Digestion Hut Natural Di gestion Is What Is Needed How This May Be Obtained. More money is spent experimenting with worthless medicines for stomach trouble than for any other disease. These preparations may temporarily aid diges tion, but they cannot euro indigestion. They go at it the wrong way. To permanently cure indigestion, dys pepsia of other stomach trouble, the medi cine should act upon the digestive organs themselves—not upon their contents. It should not do the stomach's work but should make the stoma.h able to do its own work. Tills Is what Dr. Williams’ Pink Pills for Pale People will do as no other medi cine can. They are not composed of di gestive ferments, which promote an ar tificial digestion, but they tone up the stomach, restore the weakened functions of the digestive organs and thereby pro mote natural digestion, a ease in point is that of Arthur McLaughlin, of No. 272 S North Lincoln street, Chicago, ills. He says: “For a. long time I was troubled with severe pains in the stomach -a case of chronic indigestion. 1 would feel a crav ing for food, but when 1 ate I experi enced those wretched pains which marly drove'me distracted. My kidneys also became affected. 1 tried several different stomach medicines, and, for a while they seemed to help me. Tli'i) the same old pains would come back. Tills went, on for nearly two years and at times I was pretty much discouraged. “One day a friend advised me to try Dr. Williams’ Pink Pills for Pale People. I did so. Before I finished a box the pains were less frequent and less severe, and by the time I had finished three boxes the pains won- a. thing of the past. Now I "an eat anything and enjoy it and I feel like a new man.” Dr. Williams’ Pink Pills for Pale Peo p.e will not only .ire stomach trouble, but are a positive < ire for all diseases arising from jmpov- rished blood or shat tered nerves. They are sold by all deal ers or will be sent p -stp.iid on receipt of price, fifty cents a box or six boxes for two ’dollars and fifty cents, by ad di'-sAitig Dr. Williams Medicine (’ompanv, Schenectady, N.

Mrs. E. L. Payton, Glenloch, Ga.—f do enjoy reading so many helpful letters from the sisters, especially from Arkansas and Texas, as I have lived there and have kindred there now. Will tell the sisters how I manage to not have so much to do every morning:. I gather vegetables In the evening and get them ready to cook next morning, and it is a great deal of help to one who h s as much to do as I do. If the Indy at Race Pond, Ga., that sent mo crowder peas two years ago will send a stamp. I will send her some choice bunch beans; they grow over seven inches long. I have forgotten her name. If any of tha sisters ever put up any apples smoked with sulphur they kept nice. I would bo glad If they would give full directions through Woman's Kingdom. I send one cent for orphans’ home. Mrs. M A Judge, Hickory, Miss., R. F. D. No 3.—1 have been thinking for some limo 1 would write to "our kingdom.” for I think it one o’ the best papers pub lished. But what would It bo without our beloved editress, one of the south’s noblest women? We should appreciate our page more and try to be more h<-lp ful to one another. I see so many nice recipes and exchanges every week. But. “my, my,” some of the exchanges are so high. 1 have a nice lot of English shallots and would like to exchange one half gallon of them and one teacup full of fine winter turnip seed for throe and one half or four yards of go .J calico, either light or dark, you to pay postage You plant the onions out In August o- p tember and you will ha. » nice, t- nder onions all the winter; and they ate extra fine in spring When there are no young greens large enough to eat.

New Orleans, La.—Since early childhood It has been my privilege and pleasure to be a reader of The —ilanta Constitu tion, and I always turn with fond antic ipation to Woman’s Kingdom, so full of Interest, Instruction and helpfulness. Having especially observed the helpful ness dispensed through its columns. I am encouraged to write in behalf of a friend of mine, a young man of splendid busi ness qualifications, who desires a situa tion out of a city in some healthy little town or village. If an.v one knows where he might find such a situation as an all round salesman and storekeeper or any other which requires a knowledge of finance, accounting, buying and selling, please write to the address above. Mrs. S. D. Hunter, Westminster, S. C.— I suppose the entire Kingdom celebrated Independence day in some way, if so, we were not so unlike the others after all. After reading about a column, the leng.h of our county paper, which described or gave an account of the wonderfful event which would take place at an old histori cal spot In upper South Carolina, wo de cided we could not go farther and find better, conse piently the noted historians who wore to address the audience, the music which would thrill every nerve, the marching and lovely decorations were constantly parading before our minds’ eye. As a matter of course we were buo bling over with expectation when the glorious Fourth arrived. Wo curbed our frolicsome spirits sufficiently to make a hasty toilet, then the whole family, even the babies, jumped into the wagon and we all “took a ride,” and what a ride It was! even the flop-eared mule which we drove rejoiced in singlug the opening song, “Hap-kee—han-kee.” 1 have always heajd a good beginning makes a bad ending; It was true in this Instance be cause I know Jack's song was well ren dered. but when we arrived at our dost nation there was a crowd to be sure, bu» all those performers, etc., that we had made famous were not there to wear the'r laurels; where were they? scattered io the four winds. But didn’t we have a gloriously celebrated Fourth? Yes, in deed, every one did his part—talked and laughed and wondered whose programme they were carryl’ g out. However, we felt I like the boy no went to the circus.

' A young farmer named Jim Gatlin was 1 arrested and placed on trial for commit ting an assault and battery on Willie Ray, and in defense he claimed that the whipping was administered because Ray was too intimate witli his wife. The supposed Lothario, with blackened eyes and skinned head, was then placed on the stand and created a profound surprise ! by declaring that she was a woman and not a man, as had been believed in the I community for eight years or more She ’ was a star witness in her own behalf, and Gatlin was bound ov<-r to tlie circuit court under a bond of $250, which he was unable to give, and was sent to jail Willie Ray still walks about tho streets . of Booneville wearing her trousers.

WIDOW’S RIGHTS SUSTAINED. ■ Important Decision in Florida Su preme Court. Tallahassee. Fla., July 22.- (Special.).- In the very important ease of Benedict V. Grainger, from Jacksonville, decided by the Florida, supremo court today, the law Is established in Florida that a widow who qualities as executrix of her hus band’s will, and unites wlv the co executor in foreclosing several mortgages of the estate, and buys in the property for the use the estate, does not thereby irrevocably elect the provisions made for her in the will, and was not. thereby estopped from afterwards dissenting from the will, nor from electing to take a | child's part in lieu of the provisions of I the. will, and in lieu of dower. And that I the widow having elected to take a child’s . part, she would, like a child, lie obliged to j contribute ratably from her share to the I payment of debts and the costs of admin- { istering the estate up to and including the point of actual distribution. In other words, that debts and costs of adminis tering are to be first paid out of the estate before there is a distribution. Os : course she would not be obliged to pay the costs of administering the trusts. The widow's share of a child’s part Is held to be superior to that of legacies. The opinion is based largely upon decisions of the supiome court of Georgia. The Sweet Girl Graduate. Boston Post: Behold she standeth upon tin high place within full view of the au dience !

Thereupon she openeth her mouth and speaketh thusly: '‘Behold. 1 will strap on my sword and buckleri Yea. I will go forth to battle. Victory shall perch upon my banner, tor 1 shall grab the world by the scruff of the neck and turn it upside down!” She saith this and more, and then sitteth down amid loud applause. Then cometh the wise old guy with the pink pate and the white whiskers who is the mam steam of the wisdom factory, and he giveth to her a sheep skin tied about by baby blue ribbon.
