To Preserve Silk Silk would frequently wear longer. In dresses and other garments, if it were differently «sred for when not io use. More than any other fabric u lias the faculty of growing tliiu in spots where It is most often folded or pleased, and this fact acot unis for mysterious holes that appear when least expected. A petticoat or dress of It should always be hung. It is the greatest mistake to lay away any such garment In a drawer, even though it may have plenty of room there, and no weight ou top. The crea-es which It naturally takes cause the material to weaken and when there comes the pressure of wearing the fabric will go before Us t'.nie. A handsome silk petticoat or dress which Is not worn often shoisld not only be hung on two Iioush, .preading Die garment si the waist, but at least once a week It should be lakes down, gently shaken, an 1 again hung, when It will fall into slightly difiereo' fold i All dampness should be kept from I', for silk rots from its effect.

Julian, Csl.—Little mountain settlemen's in this region have their vaudeville circuits and they are as Important to the people and afford them as much pleasure as Keith’s or the Orpheum afford pleasure seeker of the large cities.

Atlanta, fk . Mrs. James M.iner, living near Gilmore, ua tli# Marie q car line, is planning a trio to .Miami, I'Ll., In inspect a lo icy valued at ♦P 1 .- Obit, left her by a trar.ip. Tbis do*M not lend itself readily to llm fancy, but tins time ian» . will have to brae- up aud take it like a man. Truth may lie more of a »nanger ami all that, but the legacy iu Ih. re, and travel.ng expenses for Mrs. Maner to g.» down and view it i') la the hand, v nh a lot of legal assurance. ’’Eight years ago," she said, "a man came limping into our front jaid. lie looked like a tramp, ami then again he didn't look like a tramp I mean hi clothing was rugged and worn, amt he was limping from an injury to h:s fool, ami >et. h» diun't have the man tiers of a tramp, if you could rail them manners. “The man was penniless, he said, and in trouble.

And afier eignt years back came the bread from uj the waters, onlv it was multiplied t.j a fold entirely out of step wltli sniptural precedent. Mrs. Matter paid no attention to the first informal ion that the legacy bad been left her. it required an urgent appeal from a Miami lawyer and the proffer of traveling expenses lu make her realise that an estate consisting nt several houses and some land bad teally come her way at the expense of a dime, a good dinner—and a bit of the milk of human kindness.

CO-OPERATION IN DISTRICT SCHOOL. Girls Learn Boys to Sew and Boys In- j struct Girls in Garden Work i —Proud of Teaciier. Macon, Ga —Over at La Porte, .Macon county, Is a district school ©perilled like a partnership concern. Tim teacher and member* of the board a;e the directions and the students aia ’.-. ockholders ” .\liss Goldye Ready is *he teacher. She draws $♦>(» a month, the top salary paid district school teachers in Moon county, and h.o* proven herself worth every cent of it and more. t'n taking employment as teacher of the La I’orte school Miss Ready laid down the principle, which the hoard h-Mitil' unproved: “Ther? aie to lie no bosses: all of ns are to fon.u an active working company for tiie purpose of education." That meant the student was to he a factor in the uphuilding of tin- school as well as the Isiaid and the leachets; each was io lie held individually responsible to do his or her part in the 3111)111;' of fea fitrcK. of preserving order and of aiding in instruction. It was to be just like a gisvd. hig famil . all earnesll* bent on reaching a given point. Now there is r sewing machine and ♦ he girl-- aid tiie hoys in learning howto sew on buti iis and mend rents in clothing. The hoys li Ip the girls :n manual training and in garden work. Of course Miss Ready is the active sup“rvisor ami (Ih cting head of It all, but her method is to implant 'u every pupil a rung sense of (dividual responsibility and a personal pride In making La I'orte the banner district school of ttie county. The students and hoard member* look to this partnership school idea enthusiastically. If Miss Ready took a notion she r ■••(led anyhlttg to add to the attractiveness of the school, or to aid in the work, there were a do:-.-n persons eager to cet II for her. An organ. sewing machine, sewing tables and chairs, paper for the walls, renisut walk an.I porch, grading of tha | yard all were willingly and generously provided In I he patrons of the school. Miss P.-’uIv h'« among her older students what she calls an "advisory board " On certain days in the week .-h“ nice!: t! i "hoard” of eager young folks and they discuss ideas calcula'•■il to advance the work along practi cal lines. Several school journals, newspapers and farm magazines are ' kep and read hy the pupils, an.I tiling* which have been found ndviintareous in other section* of the connft are considered with reference pj their adoption by La I’orte. Tiie morn hers of tiie boa id an- pin'icl of everytliivg connected wiih the school, hut are purtirulatlv o as regards their competent and enletprising teacher. The I.a I’or'e eo-one-ntjv« sr''or)l 1* ejuinped with .1 good furnace, vent Ration and has a good light system for nivh» entertainment*. This Is on® of the Interesting features. They not onl/ have weekly ih bales, musical and li er n v entertainments, hut the fame of the -elmol has traveled *0 far afield that whenever Miss Ready desires she can get the attendance of amateur aetor.. from the normal schools to pre-s-m: short comedies and drama*. The school l i practically a community center for all sorts of meetings, lui' It's main success and development lies in th® establishment of the cooperative principle, by which each unit is a working factor beyond tho mere learning of lessons and the koej*ing of deportment. "Our Idea Is based something on th<* • ction of the American soldier,” egphtine.l Mis* Ready. "While thoroughly obedient to discipline, he Is of greater capacity than just a machine. Ho has an Individual Interest In the outcome of the battle. Hy light of t!it* he take* a personal pride when h<» wins, just as h® feels a personal dis appointment when the result goes against him. It Is the soldier prlnctplo applied to the schoolroom—and it works!” SKYSCRAPER JAIL A MODEL.
