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.

"A word to the wise Is sufficient.” 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. MRS. S. E. KENNEDY. Rhode Island. The Raconteur.

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.

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.

She became pale and thin, nervous, with no appetite and eomptiiined of severe pains in her back.

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.

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.

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.” BATTLE SHIP MAINE TESTED.

( (r-r~y ALK about ’thinrs,’ not ‘people,’ I if you do not care to be consid * er** 1 provincial.” r* e ntly ad vised a well bred woman of th*? world when one much younger than herself complained to her that through a care less remark about another she had be* n accused of disloyalty when no such thing was Intended. "It always argues a local atmosphere when one or more women, assembled for pleasurable pas time, can find nothing to discuss save some absent friend pr acquaintance. "Even if the conversation is agreeable at the beginning, when it continues any length of time the ’if.s’ ami the ‘huts’ will creep in. and some fault or falling of the one discussed is mentioned. "This failing, whatever it may be. up to that time has been observed by only SI.OO Big Stove Offer.

TT MURRAY BTJICCT, NEW YORK C»TV one person, but when the vice mentioned becomes tho knowledge of the party as sembled—and then in time to as many more. “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.” WORLD'S FAIR NEWS NOTES.; Boston will use one-third of the floor space allotted to Massaehus* ttF publi *. schools in the Palace of .Education at the world's fair.
