Ridgedale, Tenn., for the beauti ful poem of Edward Arnold. “After Death.” We give the space, although it Is quite a long poem, but it lias been se lected afid we are asked to publish it. He who died at Azan sends This to comfort all his friends: Faithful friends! It lies, f know, Pale and white and e ld as snow. And ye say "Abdallah’s dead!” Weeping at the feet and head, I can see your falling tears. ] m lie ir your sighs and prayers; Yet 1 smile and whisper this,— • I am not the tiling you kiss; Cease your tears, and let it lie; It was mine, it is not I.” Sv t frl« nds' What the women lave For its last bed of the grave, Is but. a but which I ini quitting. Is a g.-irment no more fitting. 1: ■> cage from which, at Like a hawk my soul hath passed. Ijove the inmate, not the room,— The wearer, not the garb, the- plume Os the falcon, not the bars V. aeh kept him from those splendid stars. Lox Ing fi lends! Be wise and dry Straightway every weeping eye What ye lil t upon the bier Is not worth a wistful tear. ’Tis an empty sea shell—one Out of which the pearl is gone; The shell Is broken, it lies there; 1 •■* pearl, the all. the soul is here, • an earthen jar, whose llu Allah sealed, the while it hid That treasure of his treasury A mind that loved him, let it lie!

While the man whom ye call dead. In unspoken bliss, instead, Lives ami love you; lost, 'tis true, Hv such light i= shines for you; But in the light ye cannot see Os unfulfilled feli< ity,—• In enlarging paradise, Lives a life that never dies. I’a'cwell friends! Yet r.ot farewell; Win re I am. ye. too. shall dwell. I am gone before your face, A moment’s time, a little space. When ye. come where T have stepped Ye will wonder why ye wept; V, will know, by wise love taught. That here is all. and there is naught, W, awhile, if ye are fain,- - Sunshine still must follow rain; • nil;.- not at death, for death. Now I know, is that first breath Which our souls draw when we enter Life, which is of all life center. lie ye certain al! seems love.

Pansies.—Do you want to pick pansies to your heart’s content next spring? Then August is the month to plant the seed. They will make sturdy plants by fall, and be ready to greet you with abundance of bloom in the. early spring. Evergreen boughs, or some such light protection, which will allow the air to penetrate, will well repay you for the trouble in putting It on. An old frame is a .splendid place to plant the seed, using muslin screens to protect the ten der young plants from tlie sun in the hottest part of tlie day. Kitchen Carpet.- Take any old carpet that is whole, but too shaibby for use, clean thoroughly and tack it down to the kitchen floor. Thon make a good, thick boiled starch of flour and water, Rub a coat ot this starch in the carpet with a whitewash brush, and in about twenty-four hours, or when the starch is thoroughly dry, give it a good coat <’f paint—any color desired. Oak roti is a desirable polar for a kitchen. When the paint i s dry, give it a second coat, and you will have a. cheap and durable floor covering, equal to linoleum almost, at about one-fourth the cost. Rooting Roses.—Tea. hybrid., prairie and most other roses are easily rooted In the sand 'n midsummer. Make the cuttings with three eyes, using a sharp knife. Remove the lower leaves and sink in the sand almost tq the upper leaf, then keep the sand constantly moist, covered with bell-glass for a few days, and partially shaded. Carefully protect from wind. A certain per cent of the cuttings may always be cxpectqd to root success fully witlt this treatment. Some Uses of Borax.—Tn sudden hoarse ness or loss of voice from colds relief may be obtain -d by dissolving and par tially swallowing a Jump of borax the size ot a pea Borax may be dqgted on a S' dd or wet burned _irface. It is nice for i lining tlie teeth and to sweeten the bre.’itb. and a. little added to hard water renders it much nicer for bathing purposes. Equal parts of powdered or ris-root. borax, prepared chalk and one sixth as much Wjndsor soap make a. fine dentifrice. There is no better rem edy for dandruff than a wash of I ounce each of borax and camphor to IL pints of cold water. Scurf may be removed from the baby's head by rubbing on a little borax, and then washing with soap' and water, I'sc one tablespoonful of borax to I gallyn of water fur washing woolen, fabrics; it makes, a better lather when dissolved in hot water. For wash ing silk handkerchiefs and gloves borax maj be used instead of soap. It is also nice for cleaning hair brushes. When I meqi is ready to it tug up, wash it in water as hot as you cap bear it on your hands, Hum earoijlly covet the flesh side with powch-red borax, and you will not be troubled with bugs or worms - August.

How we miss him is but a. faint way to ex press our gri .it grief and sorrow. \\ o will never find his like again. There will never lx another Bill Arp. What a vacancy he lias left throughout our beautiful .southland, which he so dearly loved.

Mrs. Angus Martin, Taylors Cr> ek, Ga. —1 have been a reader ot the Woman’s Kingdom for many years and during all that time 1 have diverted the old adage based on Hie Bible, which says, ” 'Tis more blessed' to give than to receive,” but J have at last laid everything aside and come hoping to 'be able “to give,” if only a little. 1 think Hie Kingdom is Hie dearest part of the paper. If 1 had written tills only a tew weeks earlier I would have said Hie Kingdom and Bill Arp, but alas! he is no more. Oh, how I shall miss bls cheery letters. Some of the sisters write about their flowers and as I. too, am a dear lover of them, 1 en joy their letters .so much. My yard Is so dry -and sandy I can only grow the liardy kind, so I have decided to give up Hie attempt with the delicate ones, but 1 am going to make a. 1 ,/ive effort to have some pretty hot house plans, so if any of the sisters have any nice cuttings or plants to spare and will send me some J will return the favor in any way I can or return the postage ami will ap pro late their kindness very much. My balsam vines 'are beautiful this year ami I will be glad to send seed to any one for the postage. I also will have quanti ties of cosmos and zlnia seed later in the sea son. The article "What To Eat and What Not To Eat” in The Constitution of September 7, struck me as being very interesting, yet somewhat distressing, for with bacteria here and microbes, etc., there, we poor mortals will have to exist upon air and that passed through some kind of purifying machine attached to our mouths and noses. Won’t, we look beautiful? Something like horse.-, witli muzzles on. Now, cleanliness is a great tiling, but there are extremists, and 1 believe they are getting to be too numerous when it conus to this subject of bacteria etc. Here’s an incident of one of these extremists: Quite an interesting lady had her most Intimate friends call upon her, and immediately upon their de parture she seizes a damp cloth and vig orously wipes off the chairs her friends occupied. When asked why so particu lar, she makes reply: “Oh, my. the hor rible bacteria, and microbes they may have left on those chairs.” I call that "crankyism.” I note with pleasure the THE HABIT Os HASTE AND THE SERIOUS RESULTS TO WHICH IT OFTEN LEADS. Hastily Swallowed Food and Irregular Meals are Sources of Much Suffering in tills Country. One peculiarity of Americans upon ■which visitors from other countries com ment is tlie habit of haste. This extends even to eating. Meals are eaten hurried ly and Irregularly; food is swallowed half masticated and Hie stomach is unthink ingly neglected and abused to such an extent that nine-tentlis of our people are dyspeptics. Take the case of Mrs. Ida M. Turro, the wife of a prosperous farmer at Brainerd, Crow Wing county, Minn. She says: "Irregular meals and too hurried eat ing ruined my digestion and 1 was mis eiable until, by tlie aid of Dr. Williams’ Link Dills for Dale. Deople, i was cured. I was In a very low state of health, food of any sort distressed me terribly, gas formed in my stomach and it became sore and bloated. Everything I ate seem ed to turn sour. I suffered so much when I ate that 1 had to almost starve myself. There was a pain in my heart, my bow els were constipated, I felt chilled all the time and my flesh fell away till 1 was horribly thin. The doctor gave me medi cine, but it did not help me, and I kept growing worse until, at my mother’s sug gestion, 1 began taking Dr. Williams’ Dink Dills for Dale I’eople. They made me feel better very soon and 1 kept on taking them till my stomach stopped bloating, Hie pain in my heart disappear ed and I became perfectly well again. 1 have recommended Dr. Williams’ Dink Dills to a great many and will always speak of them in the highest terms of praise.” Dr. Williams’ Pink Dills cure stom ach trouble by their tonic action, build ing up the digestive organs and enabling them to do the work that nature in tended them to do. Artificial ferments and predigested foods weaken the stom ach in many cases. 'Medicines should not do the stomach’s work but should put it in condition to perform its natural func tions. A illet book giving us-ful informa tion will be sent free on request by the Dr. Williams Medicine Company, Sche nectady, N. Y. Dr. Williams' Pink Pills for Pale People are sold by druggists, or will be sent postpaid on receipt of price, fifty cents per box; six boxes for two dollars and a half. little poem, “It’s I'p to Yun,” and feel with the author “The top is for tlie few.” but it’s a blessing that we can hope to b., one of the few. and we rill should strive to be, “For ’tis better to have tried and failed than not to hav- tried at all.” We all mourn the loss of Bill Arp and trust Hie fact of ills having furnished sun shine in the homes of thousands will be a comforting thought to his bereaved family. In my imagination I see this letter falling deep down into your waste basket. Such luck may bo best, for Surge Plunkett won’t like me, for I’m an old maid. Mrs. W. U. W., Horne, G..

Nearly everybody knows that, charcoal Is the safest and most efficient disinfect ant and purifier in nature, but few real ize its value when taken into the human system for the same Meansing purpose. Charcoal is a remedy that the more yon take of it tlie better; it is not a drug at all, but simply absorbs the gases and im purities always present in the stomach and intestines and carries them out of tile system. (jharcoal sweetens tlie breath, after smoking, drinking or alter eating onions and o liier odorous vegetables. Charcoal effectually clears and improves tlie coun-ple-xion, it whitens tho teeth and further acts as a natural and eminently safe cathartic. It absorbs the injurious gases which collect in the. stomach and bowels; it dis infects the mouth and throat from Hie poison of catarrh. AU. druggists sell charcoal in one form or another, but probably the best char coal and the most for the money is in Stuart’s Absorbent Lozenges; they' are composed of the finest powdered wmow charcoal, and oilier harmless antiseptics in tablet form or rather in the form of large, pleasant tasting lozenges, the char coal being mixed with honey. The daily use of these lozenges will soon tell in a much Improved condition of the general health, better complexion, sweeter breath and purer blood, and the beauty' of it is. that no possible harm can result from their continued use, but on the contrary, great benefit. A Buffalo physician In speaking of the benefits of cha-rcoal, says: “I advise Stu art’s Absorbent Lozenges to Oil patients sufferlntg from gas in the stomach and bowels, and to clear the complexion and purify tlie breath, mouth and throat; T also believe the liver Is greatly bene fited by Hie daily use of them; they cost but twenty-five cents a box nt drug stores, and although in some sense a rat ent preparation, yet I believe T get more end better charcoal tn Stuart's Ab-mbont Lozenges than in any of the ordinary charcoal tablets.” with some of the Florida sisters for otarges.

Any one wishing pears write at once ar send ex change and pears will be shipped prompt ly. Write me if fowls are sent so I can bo on tlie lookout for them. (Thanks for offer of pears, but have two trees full.—Aunt Susie.) Darllna Bell, Elberton, Ga.—When I saw tbp letter from the lady in South Carollpa who wanted a goyerness I would have written to her, but, I imagine she got so many' letters that she had to hire some one to help her read them. 1 am a Georgian, but 1 Jove all the South Carolina people. There is a warm, cor diality about them which charms. lam a teqcher myself, and if 1 can help an other "teacher get a position it is always a pleasure to me to do so. Also, if 1 can help a school get a teacher 1 do so j cheerfully. 1 naturally love school work and love to be concerned in it. Besides, it is a goqfl plan to cast bread upon the waters. Often it returns to you in way’s that you least expect. 1 know at lady who hired a little negro boy and kept him three or f'Uir years. Finally, he got older and drifted off and she ceased to see or hear of him. One sultry day in August she was sitting up fan ning herself and wishing she had a nice| cool watermelon to eat. Not more than twenty minutes after site had expressed the wish, a negro jjian drove up to her door, and, alighting, took from ills wagon a fine watermelon.. “Here, mist is." said he, “I <km fotch you a watymillion. It wtiz you whut raised me an’ learnt me to boa ’spectable man. I ain’t nuvrr fer gjt it. an so I fotch you ’dis here mil lion. ’ And she recognized in him the boy. MOLE SKIMS IN DEMAND SAYS “DAME FASHION'’ "f am sure there will be a famine in Moles.” saiil an Atlanta modiste last Tuesday, as she held in her hand yards of Moleskin trimming and declared that the fad of the season was “moleskin”— moleskin fur, moleskin color and every thing suggestive of moleskin. The color is soft and subdued, more so than the “gun-metal,” which for two seasons has assorted itself in jewelry, the «olor of gowns and coats, and in furs and chapeaux. But unfortunately the moleskin effect is seen only in the most expensive fab rics, in the new chiffon velvet, the panne crepes, the fur hat-, and the mor*; ex pensive silks, so that madame who has not a full purse must not aspire to be altogether a la mode. ' “What struck you most in the fashion line?” was asked the Atlanta modiste who has seen models on "the other side,” and her reply, though a trifle un satisfactory, was at the same time pa triotic. “I was struck,” she said, “by tho fact that the Parisian modistes were most anxious to please their American patrons, and yet there Is a clash about coats— the length of coats. “For some reason the American mar kets demand th*- long coat—the tunic coat-while Paquin. Francis, Here and others show persistently the short, jaunty coat. The consequence is that a compromise lias been effected between Hie American tailors and the American modistes. With the Parisians, accord ingly, the strictly tailor suits—those for the street—will be made with long coats— ultra long coats—while the street gowns for mote dressy occasions, for church, or even for visiting, will have tlie shorter, more jaunty coats.

The trouble between children and their mothers too often is due to the fact that the mother Jias some female weakness, and she is entirely unfit to bear the strain up';n her nerves that governing a child involves; it is impossible for her to *!,. anything calmly. She cannot help it, as her condition is due to suffering and shattered nerves caused by some derangement of the uterine system with backache, headache, and all kinds of pain, and she is on the verge of nervous prostration. . . , When, a mother finds that she cannot be calm and. quiet with her children, she maybe sure that her condition needs att< nt ion, and she can not do better than to take Lydia E.
