GOLDEN ROD.
"Golden rod. they cal] it, warming ,
Ail the woodside with its glow; , 1
Golden plumes, high waving—tossing
Brightness, where the light winds blow.
"Golden fringe and golden tassels
To adorn a ‘common weed!’
Gulden scepter for the Autumn,
Fit tor majesty, indeed.’" ,
LISTENING AS AN ART.
A good listener is quite as attractive as
a good speaker, there is quite as much
of an art in listening as speaking.
Did you ever try and interest any one,
<ioing your best to keeip their attention,
and yet be aware that their thoughts
v ere elsewhere? There is nothing that
gives one the feeling of having cold
water poured over them to equal an ab
stracted listener. Then there are those
who interrupt by irrelevant questions,
showing they have not been at all inter
ested in what you have been saying.
Some writer on this subject of the art of
listening says: "There are some people,
meaning to be kind, who listen with such
determined, lively, violent attention, that
you are at once made uncomfortable, and
the charm of conversation is at an end.
Ninny persons, whose manners will stand
the test of speaking, *>reak down under 1
the trial of listening.”
A good listener is seldom found, when
they tire, they should be appreciated,
ljuiet r* spectful attention, a real, not
forced interest, in the speaker, and a pa-,
th nt hearing, is what constitutes a good
listener. *
we see there are quite a variety of
listeners, some abstracted, others too
eng r ami excited, and those who are
eager fm y*‘u to give them an opportun
ity to combat all you have been saying.
It would be well for many people to prac
tice the art of listening.
WOMAN'S WELFARE.
There came to my table this week a
magazine with the above title, which I
oi it* i st
It is publi hed quarterly ‘‘for the better
ment of <-anmiion.- of the working women
of the world." In Diyton. Ohio, where
m n’s Welfare" is published, is the
home of the National (.’ash It glster Com
pany ai d 500 women employees of this
; ne in the in
terest ■ ■ working women of the world. ,
They state that their ant is to "pre
sent to ■ mployers and all thinking men
and w**m*n the conditions under which
I to prove
ti it by bettering these conditions em
ployer.- w i advance their own interest
by getting the best possible returns from
labor employed.” They illustrate by say
ing It makes no difference to a machine
if it is in a room with a rough floor and
discolor*-! walls, but a woman is not a
machine, to her surroundings make all
the differen*'* in th*' worbl. Hence the
content* *1 and happy employee works best |
ind turns out the finest product and her *
•rnployer gains that much more.
This is certainly a move in the right
.direction. and knowing the advancement
these large organizations have made in
placing around their w**men pleasant en
vironments, is an Incentive to all such
to do likewise and is quite interesting
to our n adirs.

A FEW NORTHERN RECIPES.
The recipes below have been sent to
us from Rhode Island, and as they will
be new to southern people we give them,
believing they will be appreciated:
Indian Pudding—Stir together two
thirds cup of bolted Indian meal, two
thirds cup of molasses, one-quarter cup
of sugar, a pinch of salt and a pint
of milk. When well mixed add a quart
of hot milk. Place in the oven, stir oc
casionally; cook for three-quarters of an
hour, then add one pint of cold milk, stir
in and bako slowly for six hours.
Breakfast Biscuit—Sift together one
pint of flour, one teaspoonful of cream
of tartar, one-half teaspoonful of salera
tus, mix with sweet milk, mould as light
ly as possible to get into the shape of
rolls two inches long and one inch in
circumference. Grease the spider well
with pork drippings, place the rolls closo
together and brown slowly, turning upon
all sides.
Open Pie—Fill an earthen pie plate
with sliced sour apples. Cover with a
common pie crust or a short biscuit
crust. Cook slowly for half an hour.
Take from the oven, turn over, leaving
the apples on top. Sprinkle with sugar
and nutmeg. Place bits of butter over
it. To be eaten hos.

The Raconteur.
"He's the prince of story tellers.” say
the clubmen one and all,
And his mirth provoking faculty Is
cheered
Whene’er occasions move him to an anec
dote recall.
For this happy trait by men he‘s much
endeared.
But when he finds his wife in wait at 2
a. m. he'll wince,
And he’ll curse the “office work” that
made him stay.
The while she calls him to his face a
story telling prince,
Though she doesn't always put it just
that way!

Select nice, ripe, clean ones, and re

then a layer of sugar to fill all inter

so on. Ono pound of sugar to about 3
pounds of fruit is all that is required, it
will keep without sealing and is delicious,
and not so expensive as other preserves.

Mrs. W. D., DuVall, Balloon, Ga.—l
have been a reader of The Constitution
for several years and have enjoyed the
Woman’s Kingdom so much, having re
ceived so much information from tho
sisters’ letters. I have raised so many
mango peppers this year, more than .1
could use at all. Did any of the sisters
raise them for pT'kle to ho stuffed with
cabbage chopped lino? They are a sweet
pepper, grow very large and as many as
a gallon on one stalk in go *l land. I
will be glad to send se*H to any of the
sisters who wish to try them tor any
kind of flower seed or spool of thread,
white or black, any number, or any little
useful article with stamp to pay postage.
I feel very sorry indeed that we are not
allowed to make our wants known
through the Woman's Kingdom, so many
of us want companions or household help
or governesses, of teachers, and it some
of the household sisters would recom
mend them we wouhl tool satisfied to try
them, but. of course, dear Aunt Susie
knows best.

Mrs. A. E. Browne. Denver, S. C.—More
than a year has passed since I wrote
you last. Tn that time I have passed
through a great sorrow. My dear soldier
husband, who was so ill xvhen I wrote
before, pass* •! away on Jun* 6. 1902, and
loft me to finish life’s journey sad and
lonely. But I "sorrow not as those with
out hp.po," He was ready when the Mas
ter e.'illed, and has entered into rest, so,
in the ".-wcet by-and-by.” I hope to moot
him again in the mansions of the blest
1 try to bear my sorrows as b* st I
may ami try to make sunshine for others.
J am a member of the Sunshine Society,
and try to live up to our motto: "If
you have a kindness shown you, pass
it on.” I have had many shown me,
and in spite of life's trials and trouble
I feel that its blessings are great.
This is a beautiful world, with its sun
shine and flowers and singing birds. Our
heavenly rath r was so kind to make it
so. With many others, I must say, How
we miss the cheerful, wittv btt.rs of
dear "Bill Arp.” None can fill his place
in The Constitution. Our hearts go out
in sympathy for t.l.e b**r**.iv *i family in
th* home xhiih 1* so lately lol':.
There are many things I wished to say,
but must leave room for others who
write so much better than I can.

"Both my daughter and myself have
taken Dr. Williams’ Pink Bills for Bale
People with the best results,” says Mrs.
William Casey, of No. Il Altny street,
Providence, R. 1 "My daughter used to
suffer a great deal with Sexual trouble.
She became pale and thin, nervous, with
no appetite and eomptiiined of severe
pains in her back. She was very miser
able ami was troubled this way for sev
eral years until 1 had her take Dr. Wil
liams’ Pink Pills. They helped her quick
ly and after taking them a little while
she became perfectly regular and is now
eiijoyiiig the best of health.
"As for myself, 1 was greatly run down
some years ago and subject to dizzy
spells. 1 was weak ami languid, had very
bad headaches and a continual pain in my
bai k. oftentimes 1 was obliged to go to
bed and stay there for days. Two doctors
treated me, but only gave me temporary
relief ami my friends feared 1 would never
be better. Then 1 heard of Dr. Williams’
Pink Pills and In a few days after begin
ning with them could see an improvement,
so I continued taking them until I was
finally entirely cureci. They made me
we I and strong.”
No other remedy in the world lias done
s.i much for suffering women as Dr. Wil
liams' pink Pills for Pale People. They
act dlrc'clly on the blood ind nerves, in

the stubborn lender under my knees

Marigold. Fowltown, Ga.—l has been
quite a while since I visited the King
dom. and. though I hone remained in my’
"little corner," and. no doubt, some sister
who made her visit at the time mine
was made, has remained in hers, also. I
am sure that each of ns has enjoyed
tho letters and Aunt Susie’s messages
to the fullest extent.
About the time that I wrote to the
Kingdom page last, 1 think some of our
good correspondents wore comparing our
page with the Household of The Sunnv
South, and the "recipes, remedies and
notes on poultry raising” were very se»
v**r* lv handled.
Sisters, did you ever gtop to consider the
difference in the letters of each? Did you
think why’ there was—or Is—a diffor-
1s it not th** people, as a whole, who
mn.ke or mar the peacefulness, the beau
ty’. the grariflour. of this worbl? And,
Is it not th** rorrespondent who makes
or breaks the interest in the columns of
every’ paper?
From my undorstandim: of both de
partments, viz: 'l'lic Kingdom and House
hold. the latter Is an open forum from
which heat'll iliscussions on up-to-date
topics and gentle sentiments front the
inner soul hav * been presented. On the
other hand, the Kingdom, the very name
of which gives us an idea of vastniss,
extent, etc., combines in. its sphere prin
cipally those things which really origi
nate in and circle ,-tround the home—most
often the country home. I judge this
much from the letters road in each pa
per. The Sunny South and The Con
stitution.
Every one has a perfect right to his
opinion and. to express my own thoughts,
the Kingdom and Household could very
appropriately exchange names. Still, we
li vo striven so long to be loyal sub
jects to our queen and contented dwell
ers in onr domain that we would positive
ly object to any changes being made, un
less jt is t > work harder to make our
page brighter and better.
1 have some recipes in my scrap book,
clipped from the sister's letters, and on** f
especially appreciate is a cure for chick
en cholera, and 1 believe it proved bene
ficial in the cases of hog cholt r.i develop
ed among our hogs this year. The rem
edy’ is very simple, and the Ingredients
are in almpst every home.
1 guess Aunt Susie is just ready to
excuse herself. 1 have already stayed
so long, so I will take my have quickly,
boiling that it may be my privilege to
DIVORCE V. POLYGAMY.
Rourke Cockran Says Former Is
Worse Thau the Latter.
New York, October 12. -In an address
before the Knights of Columbus, gathered
hi Carnegie hall to celebrate the anniver
sary of America's discovery. Bourke
Cockran reviewed the mar li of civiliza
tion anil declared that the only blot to
bi* seen at tho present day is the divorce
practice. Tljg great private fortunes he
considered 1o be of value to th** nation,
while the labor problem, ho said. Is only
a step in the inarch of progress.
"The present condition of society here
is In.; of promise. We have the greatest
fortunes of the earth—greater than
Roman ever dare.d dream of and though
philosophers say that where wealth accu
mulates men decay, I see no cause for de-
spair. When a large fortune is not gained
by robbery, by fraud, or by the manipu
lation of thq laws, then it can be but a
boon to the nation. My neighbor’s pros
perity increases my own and that of the
earth. Nor do modern fortunes tend to
the increase of luxury. On the contrary
men become more self-denying. 1 see
no sign of decay in tile human race
here. The labor question is in process
of solution, and every row is a step
toward this, A laborer cannot get more
pay than the value of his product, for
then Hie product leasts to be made. Nor
can he get much less, because of the cle
ment of competition. The labor of today
is not a servant, but a partner of his em
ployer and their good rests in a mutual
understanding.
"But the blft 1 see upon our civiliza
tion is the incr**, dug number of divorces.
In the ancient WMe the supreme import
ance of life wa.-* to increase the import
ance of state. Today the end of life is
the Individual good. But the individual
good lie;s in the prosperity of the family
and It is at this the divorce strikes. It
not checked it will destroy the family.
"Th** remedy to this, as I see it. is
to realize that matrimony is a state, not
a contract and divorce must be stormed.
Divorce strikes at the virtue of our wom
en and this virtue is what preserves the
state. Divorce is the one foul growth
upon our soil, and upon its riddance de
pends the fate of our future.
“If we are to choose between divorces
and polygamy, give, us polygamy.”

ELUSION.
Return from the gloom of the past time.
O spirit of passion and grace!
Once more, though perchance for the last
Unveil the dejtr charm of thy face.
In the bloom of thy beauty's fruition.
Come, back from the shades of the
night,
O passionate, exquisite vision
Os vanished delight!
Where art thou? Too long o'er life’s
sterile
And storm-beaten desert my feet.
Pressing on through all pleasure ami
peril,
Have sought tny lost footprints to
meet.
Too long' has my soul's deep desire
Fallen faint in the fret :*n<; the doubt.
And the futile and fugitive tire
Has almost burnt out.
Shall not once ere ..jht* battle be ended,
Ere the wearv ami sorr.iw-w >rn heart
Cease all its wild throbs ami the splendid
Supreme aspiration depart
Shall not once the dark shadow be riven.
And some subtle, inenable gleam
Flash down from the uppermost heaven
To hallow my dream?
Full oft has thy mystical presence
Glanced past like a . tar in a. storm.
Full ol'i. in mut**. mi** k a eipiies.-nve
I have turned from thy vanishing
form
But now the last desperate hour
Is pressing on bosom and brain;
In the might of thy life-giving power
Oh, bless me again!
I have sought thee through mountain and
meadow,
1 have wandered by river and rill.
I hav raised whtt* the cool ccdarn
shadow
Sleeps soft on tho clover frowned hill.
“Do here!'’ and "Do there!” said the
•’Sh'* V'a under! Sim passes! She
But ah. through Earth’s infinite choices
I found not thy ways.
Wilt thou come in the thrill of a whisper?
Will thou ale am in the* flash of a smile?
Some ev* when th*.* balm - !*'i * z**--:! li.sper
Os love songs that trance and beguile—-
Steals close unawares, wiit thou follow.
And tarry, and linger and wait.
Just once- -on the slope—in f)ie hollow—
Or by the church gate?
Come! come! In my soul the last ember
Os the faith and the hope and* the
trust,
Whose birth I but dimly remember
Is dying away into dust.
Y*-t, yet may the vision supernal
Break full on 'he spirit’s rapt eye—
But which Is supreme--which eternal—
Dove’s smile—or her sigh?

women, assembled for pleasurable pas

some absent friend pr acquaintance.
"Even if the conversation is agreeable
at the beginning, when it continues any

“If in days afterwards any of the three
or four friends who began the friendly
converse about the absent one happens
to be accused of circulating the report,
which liar, now assumed that prop irtion,
they will Indignantly deny the charge,
assert that loyalty again and really feel
innocent of what they are accused.
"Yet they are directly accountable,
through their idle conversation, their
careless inlulgence in personalities, of
having probably done a friend a hope
less injury
"True, it is more interesting to discuss
people—the people that one knows best—
but if the conversation too continuously
hinges on one person, no matter how
loyal the talkers may think they are,
there is danger of something being said
that may be misconstrued, or misunder
stood, or perverted in repetition.
"It is supi rtli'ous always to observe.”
continued the wise womali of worldly
experience, "that the woman who con
tinually criticises, abuses or ridicules an
other woman to that degree when it be
comes noticeable, that she injures her
self far mor** than th ■ object of her dis
like. In the case of the abuse being
indulged in before men, the la t ter are at
i nee touched with feeling for tis- one
being roasted, as they term it, and the
general impression justly entert; im*.l by
well bred men ami women is that noth
ing is so condemned in woman ns her
uncharitable comm* nts about another.
"These little comments may be diroct
or they may be insinuating; they may
even have their effect for the time being
on those who hear them, but. invariably
the woman talked asjainst or picked at
by her women associates will in the I
end be recognized as more ‘sinned I
against than sinning,’ and the harsh
criticism will always react upon the one. ;
guilty of it.”
