D’isk. like a moth of violet wing, de

And in the sky’s ser-'ne immensity,
here the impalpable rose of sunset
blends
With pearl and purple, shine the sailor’s
friends.
God’s blessed beacons twinkling timor
ously.
Then brighter, each in its divine de
gree.
To where the enrapt range of vision ends.
"V\ hen dusk droops dark o’er life's un

Closing our day. deep-shadowing the

And we go forth aeros death’s path

SOME PEOPLE OF THE NEW
SOUTH.
Tim above is the hs idir.v n an ar
ticle that app»ar<«l in th- September
number of “The National Magazine.
It is refreshing to r-ad of the good im
pressions made on the writ : by a vi ■
It to a southern mill town.
While our own southern writers are
constantly holding up tb' mill owners
and the employers in most unpardonable
light and commit r Hing th< p--»r over

that whole families rome 50 miles

people ha 1 never ridden on a railroad.
Been «ui elcctri* light, or ‘‘set’ for a
camera.
Now these p‘ ehiidreii are attend-
ing 1 ' '
j■' ’ -'
opportunities the;. W‘Mii.l have never
otherwise had the adt jntage of in the
way of educational advancement.
They also were gi-atly Improved in

the farms in tin: mmmt.iln tiny were
hardly clothed as women should dress,
many of them were wearing
men’s rough shoes. V. • made it
a practice of providing them
with Shoe. ,fei complete outfits of cloth
ing before they entered the mills, and
tin- mill owners added, "we have boon
repaid .. bundle , f..ld in faithful work.”
These pe ipie often resent the interest

that b w ise they are descended from j

overworked in :he mills if they re- i

they had on the. farm. They were I
working long hours, thee did not deny; |
but they had alwajs worked long hours,
and formerly thee ha-: nothing to show I
for It.
The writer concludes by saying:
••Rut i Will venture to say that the
young women .:’ a southern cotton mill |
will compare favorably with a similar
class in any part of tl.. o.intry; and on
s Sundae yon will tr.iv* ; far in the south

And tliis is don! , so in many mil!

.washing is on hand.. The soiled clothing

I in to soak the finest ones in one tub and
• the towels and coarse pieces in another,

' any. Bolling water, sour milk or alco
-1 hoi are usually effective if applied to
1 fiesh stains, but if these fail, Javelle
water may be relied upon to remove
1 them. To make it lake one pound of bi

! boiling water. Place it over the fire rind
I boll fifteen minutes. Remove and stir
in one-fourth pound of chloride of lime

I drain it off and bottle for use. Take

I the spots in cold wixlcr, dip them up

1 Borax is a. useful cleansing agent, soft
-1 ering the water and making the wash
ing easy without, injuring the delicate
colors or materials. Towels witli bright
colored borders or embroidered linens
should never be boiled or allowed to
stand in hot water. It is better econ
omy to use a larger number of towels
than to get them so badly soiled that
vigorous rubling is necessary to get
them clean.
Thorough rinsing is as essential to
make tile clothes look well as good
w.i -hing. and the grimy look that white
ch.il es sometimes have is often due to
neglect of it In starching white shirts
• r garim-nts that you wish to have stiff
r.ml ph i.sy add a little powdered borax
dissolved in water to the starch, -and
when cooked until clear remove it from

from sticking and makes it easy to
iron.
Many housewives prefer to make their
own blueing, for they can then be sure
of getting a better quality. Get one
ounce of soluble Prussian blue from a
reliable druggist, add to it one-half
ounce of oxalic acid and one quart of
: cift water; shake it two or three times
and it will be ready for use in half an
hour. E. J. C.

Krs. Cowd’s Significant Warning
to Molhirs of Growing Girls.
"Mothers can not be too careful of I
girls who are approaching womanhood,”
says Mrs. D. J< Dowd, of Nephi City,
I’tah. She speaks from the fullness of
experience, for her own trouble began
with the lirs.t, critical time of her life.
"From the time 1 was 16 yeafs old.” she
says, “I suffered constantly from female
weakness and my present good health is
due entirely to Dr. Williams’ Pink Pills,
as you will see. I caught cold," she
continued, "at a critical time and en
dured tortures as a consequence. My
color became very bad. I was nervous
and grew constantly worse. Then 1 be
gan to have palpitation of the heart and
my blood became in a wretched condition.
1 felt tired and languid all Hie time
and was hardly able to get around at
my work.
•’None of the medicines that I tried
made any difference in my health. 1 was |
nearly discouraged when 1 heard from
my uncle, Mr. J. Brandon. Sr., of Logoch,
Manitoba, telling me that he had used
Dr. Williams’ Pink Pills witli the great
est b -nelit for nervousness. Then I de
cided to try them myself, witli the re
sult that, after taking two boxes, 1 found
1 was mill'll better. A few boxes more |
made me feel like an entirely different j
permit and now 1 am able to do my j
work with ease. All my friends know I
what good Dr. Williams* Pink Pills for
I l-’nle People have done for me.”
Any Woman who is ailing with the :

lof Major Smith (Bill Arp). For days I

, nothing else I have never read from
j any pen that. I enjoyed more, except my
I Bible. He was a good friend to the.
i south and wits not afraid to say what
lie thought: and a good friend to the
women. 11- appreciated a woman for
al! she was worth and I have never
read one word lie said about them but
what was good. What a comfort his let
ters have been to me. At times I felt
like lie knew of my struggles and tr-m
bles and told them better than 1 could
have done myself. One thing I come
to ask all of our Kingdom to join in
witli mo to ask that a. now book be
printed with all of bis letters in it.
He wrote splendid letters in The
Constitution that are not In ills book,
and I want all of his letters in book
form, even to the last two lines ho
wrote The Constitution. Now. can't
that book b- printed and sold for a mod
erate sum. so we all who loved him and
his letters can get it? I will take one
i as soon as It is printed and am sure a
great many others will do tlio same. M?
heart goes out. in sympathy to Mrs.
Smith, for I too, have passed “under the
same rod” and no one on earth knows
what, it Is to lose a. companion or can
in the least sympathize with them unless
they, too. have known the same. I hope

A Southern Compliment.
(Detroit Free Press.)
Chief Justice Chase, of the supreme
court, had a grand time on one occasion
when he visited Nev. Orleans. Accompa
nied by ids accomplished daughter, tlie
justice partook of tin generous hospital
ity of the south. H ■ entered heartily into
the pleasures of tlie hour, not once pre
suming to impress the dignity of ills ex
alted position upon his host. One even-
ing the justice caught sight of his daugh
ter, surrounded by many of the gallants
of the south. Addressing himself to a
line old gentleman, the justice, with war
ranted pride, asked:
"Sir, what do you think of my caugn
ter?"
•If you will permit me to judge by
present appearances,” replied the gentle
man, bowing graciously, "X assert, posi
tively. that she is the supreme court of
the south.”
Is the Home the Proper Place fm
Children?
(Charlotte Perkins Gilman, In Success.)
As it stands at present, the home Is,
in many respects, a most unsuitable
place for children; and the mother. In
many ways, Is an unsuitable person to
have sole charge of them. Why? Be
cause the home—nine homes out of ten—
is a workshop, and the mother—nine
mothers out of ten—ls a toiling house
servant. Our ideal in the instinctive cars
and service of the young is the animal
mother, yet we forget that that perfect
ed functionary has nothing else to do.
She gives Instinctive care, the young
ones give instictive obedience, and ail
goes well—tlie species is reproduced with
tolerable success. But our children need
far more than the young of animals or
than the papooses of the tolling squaw
They need more intelligent care and
an immeasurably wither scheme of educa
tion. To meet this last need society
comes forward with its institutions. Ono
of the most Invaluable of all civilized
institutions is the school. Private or
public, low or high, a school is a social
institution, and its use is the care and
training of children. No modern citizen
will deny tho usefulness of the school,
both In Its supplementary position tn the
homo, but ns a reactive improvement to
that more primitive "Institution.” A
nation without schools is hopelessly in
ferlor. bo its "homes” ever so active.
We must, remember that children of
nil races have homes, but only tho chil
dren of civilized races have schools; or.
to put It In due sequence, the schools
maim civilized races. There will bo no
opposition mule on this line. We all
know the value of education—or think
we do. We arc used to schools and their
benefits. But w ■ still maintain that, al
though beyond a certain ago of the child
the home Is patently inadequate to hf.«
needs, below that age It is perfectly suf
Talent. For the care and education of
oar college boys and’girls we arc glad
'o pay largo sums, to endow groat Insti
tutions, and to secure the lenders of
«cfonce for instructors; in their mental
progress wo take groat pride .and inter
est: .and tholr physical exercises we fol
low with vast crowds of spectators anil
’hunderous applause. But tho enro ami
education of our b.iby boy.- ami girls w*-
contentedly leave in tlie hands of thr
lowest grade of unskilled labor!
Millions of dollars to endow tho insti
tutions for tho youths atpl maidens—not
a cent to endow any institution for the
babies- except for the pauper babies
aforementioned. No trained minds of
careful educators for the babies-any
Irish girl will do, or negress. or young
"immigrant of some sort Their menta>
progress, if noted nt all. i- merely a
■<>.- ill-advised comment, fatuous
admira.i ion or laughter, and lit*’::' plias
tcal culture is unthought of. Why this
, al’ous indifference to the need:; of liitle

Compensation.
They were three sisters; all that summer
They paced the glimmering whiteness
of the beach,
And God’s great sea, spread out before
theiri, taught
Its own peculiar less n unto each.
So as they nius*d they spake; the young
est said;
"The green waves open pathways in
finite;
Shall my feet wander on through shad*
or shine?
Fail in the gloom, or wanton in the
light?”
"Far out beyond the utmost belt of
foam
Sleeps the veiled haven; but alas! who
knows
What breezes blow there, or what bios
sums bloom-
What breath of fennel, or what scent
of rose?”
And then the second sister spake and
said:
"Far o'er this sea his silver sails are
set;
The gray blank leagues between us
grow not less,
Nor shall the sea relent nor death for
get.
"But whether this wan ocean shall be
come
His tremulous pathway unto me who
wait.
Or whether it shall wash his dead face
out
Bevond the sunset- who can win from
fate?"
Then spake the eldest, Una: ' Long ago
Beneath this weary sea my hopes wont
down;
I walk alone-alone, too, 1 shall bear
Whate’er my Father sends of cross or
crown.
"Yet, though not here, nor even after
ward,
My life with wifely music e'er shall
move
In Nature's harmony -I grieve not; 1.
Around whom flows the ocean of God’s
love.”
And as she spake an Angel touched their
eyes,
And a great glory fell upon the three;
And there was sound of harpers witli
their h.-.’-ps.
And the night fled—and there was no
more sea.

Cotton Bale of 1872.
(From The New York Commercial.)
"The Brown cotton corner,” says a New
Orleans man, "Is taking a great deal of
queer cotton to New Orleans. The staple
has become so valuable that the owners
of cotton gins are scraping the floors, and
have mad" i p several bales of waste cot
ton. Perhaps tlie most extraordinary bale,
however, is one that arrived there from
Georgia. It was of the crop of 1572, and
is i nsaquently thirty-one years old. its
ow) • r held out for 16 cents tliat year,
but when the market broke and cotton
went down lie swore he would never sell
it for less than 16 cents.
"When cotton went up to 11 cents in
New Orleans he shipped it there, to be
ready for tlie 16 cents lie pledged himself
to, with orders to Itis agent to sell when
ever that figure was reached. The cotton
lias been stored In one room for thirty
one years, anil is thoroughly dried out. It
lost fifty pounds in the process. Experts
declare the st;ii>lo to be as good as ever."
A Great Man’s Small Funeral.
(From 'Die Cleveland Plain Dealer.)
The lack of display at the funeral of
la>rd Salisbury was in away almost as
ostentatious as the extravagance which
It was Intended to rebuke. It was the
late premier’s wish that his funeral should
cost not over SIOO. As a matter of fact
it cost S7O. The late duke of Westmins
ter. the richest nobleman in Great Brit
ain. set a like J Simple. The expense at
tending his ‘ obsequies amounted to only
$35. It i.s pointed out that the wood for
these noblemen's caskets was grown on
their own estates and shaped by their
own artisans, but the purpose of each
was to discountenance the senseless and
often ruinous practice of making an ex
travagant display at funerals. The cus

The one thing that qualifies a person to give advice on any su'-ject
is experience—experience creates knowledge.

Over a hundred thousand cases come before her each year. S me
personally, others by mail. And this has been going on for twenty yea is,
day after day, and day after day.
Twenty years of constant success think of the knowledge thus
gained! Surely women are wise in seeking advice from a woman xviih
such an experience, especially when it is free.
Mrs. 15a.v0. of Boston, wrote to Mrs. Pinkham when she was
in groat trouble. Iler letter shows tire result. Tliere sire actual!

Women as Field Hands.
(From The Boston Globe.)
The '‘Year Book of the German Empire
is a very interesting eompllation design i.
to locate the various members of the Ge:
man family, titled, military and civil. s.
that one may calculate on general aver
ages the state of civilization throughout
the realm. In this book ti’..- number
women and girls found working in tit
fields as farm laborers is given and com .
pared with tho numbers found in other ;
countries. It used to be thought that
the civilization of different countries
could be measured by the number of i
women found working at th ■ lab'»ih>u'» ’
business of farming. _ T’..-- percentage ot ,
such women in the United States is bat i
14.3, as against 40 per cent in Italy and ;
47 In Austria. In Germany it is 25 per (
cent ami in England 27. But it is never- ;
theless a question whether it is more de- i
moralizing for a woman to Work in the (
fields than in a dingy ill-ventilated shop, i
As for the perpetuity of the race, it is ‘
far safer with the women at work in J
the field than in tin- factory. If England
finds the physique of tho nation deterior- i
ating. the cause is not to lie found in ]
her 27 per cent of female farm laborers. ,
It does not seem quite ennobling for .
women to work in the Held, or to go to ~
sea before the mast, ,t- in Holland. Our i
shame lies more in working girls in i
loathsome mines or of sliding them in J
dingy sweatshops. May the day soon .
come when a sense of honor, with the i
aid of newly invented machinery, shall ’
make this all unnecessary. ]
