With this thought in view we want to give this week the gist of an English writer's views on the subject of married women engaging in public work, and though they may not coincide with our own opinions on the subject, they are no less worthy of contemplation on that account, The writer says: “She must be a bateyed woman if the insight into the mysteries of pain and sin given her by her public work dees not reveal to her a new conception of justice, pity, brother1y love, and fill her with an overwhelming sense of her own unworthiness. And this nobler view of life will permeat> every detail of her home life. Her care for her children, for her servants; her prompt payment of her tradespeople; her scrupulous fairness in dealings with all men; her keen study of political and social questions as affecting the vital interests of whole classes; her extended range of happy friendships beyond her own narrow set; her intelligent sympathy with her hus-

band’s interests and anxieties, will all Je Inspired, and her whole moral standard raised by the extended range of her experiences. The book education of the school girls deals so partially with Ler nature that unless she has opportuuities of completing her education later in life by wholesome service for her fellow-creatures, and by wider contact with them than that afforded by limited home life, she must always remain a dwarfed, uneven nature. The hnuso-l tiold failures of the Mrs. Jellyby type are rarer than those of the domestie Dora Copperfield type, although sutire invariably singles out the former for special abuse. The unbalanced housemisiress who neglects her home duties for work abroad is necessarily a defi- ~ cient public servant because of that I hnes e thecon scientious house-mistress who appreciates the personal valiue of the mental training given her by public work, who ‘ realizes that the obligations of service laid on every member of the Christian \ brotherhood cannot be limited to the narrow home cirele, gathers fresh wisdom, and spirit for her home duties from her outside experiences.” When a Girl Goes in Mourning, The mourning assumed by a daughter for a parent is much hghter than that worn by a widow, but for the first six months, and if it is wishedqd, for a year, crape forms part of the costume. The veil, which should be of the heaviest crape, is only worn over the face once, and after that it is quite proper to throw it back. It is unlike a widow’s veil, inasmuch as it does not extend over the front and back of the gown, but 7t should be at least two yards and a half long, as a hem not less than a quarter of a yard deep is required on the lower edge.—Ladies’ Home Journal.

This Woman Attracis. Have you ever noticed in a gathering of both sexes that it is not the absolutely beautiful girl or woman who attracts and receives the most attention, but it is she who has that essentially well-groomed look about her, indicative.of physical tidiness and suggestive of more than ordinary attention to the details of her toilet. Nature may have endowed you with absolutely regular

! features, a form divine, and a volce soft and low, but if you let your hair evidence a cavelessness of thought in its keeping, and your hands, shapely ‘ though they may be, are allowed to go untidy, you might just as well be absolutely ugly for all the genuine admiration that you will receive. Daintiness counts more in the long run than beauty. There Is No *New Woman.,” It is because of its indefinite basis of argument that no sensible man nor woman can take up with this “*New Woman” movement, writes Edward W, Bok editorially in the Ladies' Home Journal. So far as one can see, it leads nowhere. It has no point. These women do not want to be men, for they have plainly told us that men are immoral and are dominant tyrants. They resent being women, because they tell us to be a woman is to be “a subject creature”—whatever that may mean. There is not much left for them, therefore, that I can see—nothing except to create a third sex. It was George Eliot who. in one of her epigrammatic moments, discovered that there were three sexes in England, “men, women and clergymen.” Perhaps the leaders of our “New Woman” movement will discover something of this sort for us in America—something which will render them as offensive to decent Americans as George Eliot's remark rendered her offensive for a long time in the eyes of self-respecting English people. Then we shall hear less of the “new woman,”

and perhaps our attention will be a lit- f tle more directed to the present woman. ’ And we shall all be the better for it— | decidedly the better for it. l T.adics in a Sailing Match, f And now the women are going to take | part fn the international contests in t sports.

THE FARM AND HOME. MATTERS OF INTEREST TO FARMER AND HOUSEWIFE. i« Sorghum Needs More Attention than Corn—Valuable Information in BQ‘ Culture-Secret of Making Good But= ter—lmproving Rented Land-—Note‘% The Sorghum Crop. Sorghum is usually planted in hills about three feet apart each way, or if the ground is not too weedy, in drills three feet apart, leaving the stalks at the last thinning about four to six inches apart in the row. If the erop {s to be used for sugar or syrup, the stalks should be about six inches apart in the drill, or about five stalks in the hill. Six or seven stalks could be left in the hill where the crop is to be used for forage. About two quarts of seed of the ordinary varieties are required per acre, when planted in hills, and somewhat more than this amount when sown in drills. Early orange or early amber or some of the other early varieties, says the Country Gentleman, would probably be most sure to give a profitable ecrop. On land specially adapted to corn or sorghum some of tir larger or later varieties might b grown, as they yield much heav erops; but if any of the crop is to be e so early as August, the later variell& will not do. The crop needs considera~ bly more attention at the start than corn, but perhaps less after it is a foet or more high. The growth is rather slow for the first few inches, but very rapid at the close of the season. The outer glaze on the stalk is harder than on maize, and the stalks should preferably be fed whole rather than cut fnto short pieces, to avoid risk of cutting the animals about the mouth. The cane, when mature, will stand for a long time without much deterioration in quality, even after a severe frost, provided warm weather does not follow the frost, or alternating periods of warm and cold oceur. Sorghum ecan be made into ensilage, but will not make as good ensilage as mature corn, being usually quite sour. Some growers have reported keeping sorghum for many weeks cut and set in large bunches in the field. Items in Bee Culture, Following are questions asked and answered at the National Illinois convention of beekeepers and reported in the American Bee Journal: Is it best to put the colonies on the old stands when taking out of cellar? Most thought it best if possible, though some did not do it. Is the eight or ten frame Langstroth hive the best? About half use the eight and the balance the ten frame hive. Is it advisable to supersede queens or let the bees do it? Most of the members thought it best to let the bees attend to it, and let the beekeeper watch them, and to supersede l when the bees do not attond to it. { Whichisbhetter,thin or extea thin foun. ! dation for sections? Thin. How many ’uso full sheets of foundation in see- { tions? Only one.—Dr. Miller uses full ] sheets. How many wire brood frames? { And is it best? H. W. Lee thought it | was not necessary, while others thought ft‘zmt it was, What is the best section | holder? Dr. Miller thought the T ] super, with a follower and wedge, the | best. Where a division board is used | in the hive, will the boes work as well %Sn the sectlons over an open space? i Not so well | Care for the Cows, | When you are not running your | cows for all there is in them, are you | not making a great mistake? Can you honestly say that during the past win- | ter your cows have had the best of care that you were capable of giving them? | Can you say that you have made the best butter that it was possible for you | to make? Ii pot, why not? Have you | all the money that you want? Have ' you all the farming implements that | you would like to have? Your cows would help you reach this desired end | if you gave them the best care that you | could. | There is no secret in caring for cows | or in making good butter, says the Na- | tional Stockman. Any one can do it | if he will only try. It s hard to get ' out of the way. of doing certain things | in certain ways, but when there is | money in getting, then, “let’'s git.” It | costs no more to make a pound of but- | ter that will sell for 30 cents than it ; ’ does to make a pound of butter that we ‘ - have trouble in disposing of for 10. It | j costs less to get a quart of milk from a_ ' cow when she gives ten quarts, than ~when she-gives five. Why, then, don’t we make her give ten, and m:ﬂ((‘\'ﬁrﬂ‘v-_i five cent butter from the ten quarts, witere we formerly made ten-cent but- ‘ | ter from five quarts? It is slow work | | at the bottom of the ladder, it is rough ' always under the harrow; but our ‘ | cows, if we only have two or three, will | help us if we only give them the proper | b care, 1 % Thick or Thin Seeding. J { We remember two experiments in { drilling oats which gave exactly ('Oll-1 | trary results and yet taueht a valuable %1«-.\:::;:1. On the llt‘:llH;l'lld.\‘, where the { oats were in places twice seeded so ags not to make a vacant space, the p:li't' where the seeding lapped gave the first i Year a much larger yield than the portion which had only one seeding. As we were then drilling at the rate of two and one-half bushels per acre, the yielq was best where nearly or quite five bushels per acre was sown. But weo forgot that the season was very wet and the land was rich, so that on the light-ly-seeded part much of the grain fell 1 down. Next year we drilled the oats both ways, sowing two bushels each way. The oats came up well, and looked finely until the time for heading l out. Then a dry spell came and the oats were a very light crop. Thick or thin seeding depends on the condition l

| thae Sol and the amount of motsture ? robably be expected. In | ez Fich soil thick seeding of grain | ePt In very wet seasons prevents it | bhagySrOVlng too rank and the straw | A Slng down with its own weight.— | T trcan Cultivator, N erovine non % "f?‘reany Ovoggf Rentc‘:d Lands, - f\!?;"é}urm gBB farmer xyill not leave BETRY boorer than he found it, even ; I@% only rents instead of owns the %émf:: in this country every imR made on rented land goes 1e > the owner of the property, and this | HaCt operates to prevent those from | Yenting who know that their methods of | ing make the land more produc- | &9 In European countries most of | the farming is on rented land, and re- ; ;r‘i%?ntly the laws have been changed so | Bto give the occupant who makes im- | Provements a considerable part of their | Yalue. This is really botter for both parties. It is not to the advantage of | apy owner of land to lease it so as to | njake temporary profit, but have its | vitlue constantly decrease until it be _@@mes too poor for anybody to want te | Sclentific Tomato Growing. Prof. W. W. Munson, of the Maine X periment Station, says of tomato Wwing: “The scedlings started in JF''S are, as soon as they begin to owd, removed to three-inch lots, later pfour-inch, then to the field. Frefent handling has with us been benepial. Midsummer trimming has has‘{'tgned the ripening of the fruit then | s§t. Potash in the soil tends to increase | the acidity of the fruit, while phosphor- | 1¢ acid produces a larger percentage of sugar, and nitrate of soda, in small | amounts, increases the yield without delaying the ripening. Nitrogen is the i | ruling element in the growth of the to- | mato, although its best effect dopvndsl | upon the presence of a full supply of | other elements. The best fertilizers | for the tomato are those that hasten growth early in the season. Failure to | fruit well is due to insufficlent pollun% | on the stigma. The remedy for this is, } on bright days, when the atmosphere is | dry, to give each plant two or thw‘e! | sharp taps with a flat or padded stick. ‘ Dairy Farming in Virginia, Mr. R. B. Chaflin, who has a dalry farm of 575 acres three miles from Richmond, Va., detailed his methocs and showed how he kept 500 cows on 400 acres of land, says the Cultivator. He has made butter, but is now sell ing milk at wholesale, getting sixteen cents per gallon for six months, and fourteen cents for six months. He de- ‘ pends largely on soiling, and gets three erops in the season, mainly of rye, German clover and turnips. He has had some difficulty with labor; finds negroes unveliable, inclined to quit on receiving a month's pay, and finds & partial remedy in making the month's payment on the 15th of the next, and enforcing his rule of forbidding more than two to leave at one time. He only employs them for ficld work, and pays $lO per month. In the barns, he only | iploys whites, paying $1 per month | x’ each cow milked and Hmiting the ’ !ﬁm;!w(' milked by one man to forty. | & Pruning Trecs in Leaf, ! A great many farmers defer pruning t until the trees are in leaf, In order to ipnwvnt “bleeding” or running of the | ' sap, which oceurs when the pruning is ‘ %dnnn earlier. It is probable that nwti | much harm is done by thls 1»1':1«'(!0«‘,; | though it is well to know that pruning | | in leaf is always a great check to vital- | ‘ ity and vigor. It should therefore be i practiced only on trees that are maki ing too strong growth and whose wood ‘ ; is growing at the v“.\‘lu‘fi,\‘-,‘ of .fm'sir, | { There are some very vigorous varieties ] of apples, which, while young, are bet- | i ter for being pruned while in full leaf. l !

S S S —e EE—THE SUNDAY SCHOOL ‘ . et et e s set INTERESTING AND INSTRUCTIVE LESSON. S Reflections of an Elevating Character ~Wholesome Food for Thought— Studying the Scriptural Lesson Intelligently and Profitably, Lesson for June 23. Golden Text.—“Go ¥e therefore, and teach all nations.”—Matt. 28: 19, The subject of the lesson this week is “The Saviour's Parting Words,” found in Luke 24: 44-53. We have been accustomed to call this the Little Pentecost. Here in the upper room Christ appears to | his waiting disciples, and though not pouring out upon them that signal dispensation of the Spirit which was to mark his session at the right hand’' of God, he breathes upon them and says, “Receive ye the Holy Spirit,” thus giving them, as it were, the foretaste and earnest of the coming blessing. And with this he joins words of counsel and admonition, to which we may well take heed. What Christ tarried to say ere he took flight to the glory of the skies we cannot lightly esteem, ‘ *These are the words.” Our Master is | holding up a lantern, as it were, and pour- | ing the light of his resurrection upon the . | things that could not be understood before. .| And now -miinons ~all becomes! | “While T was ye - with you." And now since the advent of the Spirit he is with { us again, and in closer, more intimate relationship. Those days of bodily com- | panionship were sweet and dear, but they are not to be compared with these when | with mind alert and heart aflame, we walk and talk with him by the way, and understand his sayings. *All things must be fultiled.” Jesus honored the old dispensation, and gave respect to the word. There is nothing sadder or more vain today than to see the Jews trying to interpret their Seriptures with Jesus left out. To shut out Jesus from the word is to elide the spirit and the meaning of it all. It thus becomes a really dead thing., and in this case, at least, a proper subject for the critic and the clinie. “Then opened he their understanding that they might understand the Seriptures.” The context tells us what this illumination was. It had a threefold phase. First, right understanding of the Seriptures always discovers Jesus therein. Any other interpretation is vain. Seeond, the Secriptures reveal Christ as prevailing by the things which he suffers, a crucified and risen Saviour. Third, the way of salvation is by Christ alone, and it is open to all the world. But how slow the disciples were to learn this last! “And ye are witnesses of these things.” This is an added exposition of the truth as it is in Jesus. The word is not fully expounded until it has exposition in the faithful preaching and living of converted souls. Here is the true apostolic succession; a procession of faithful witnessing down the centuries. “Behold, I send the promise,” or am sending the promise, i. e., am departing so as to send the Spirit. He had already breathed upon them and imparted his Npirit in a measure. They were filled in away for the present want. Dut other demands were to be soon upon them: for these they were not ready, “Tarry ve,” he said, “until ye be endued.” It alwavs | pays to thus wait. “While he blessed ! themy, he was |Z irom them." The j;.;( wiimpse we had of him he was in i the ittitede of bl SSIIRZ. And every aspect {of him sinece has suggested Dblessing. Moreover, when he cexes again it shall be in the like attitude of bßle«sing, for such as put their trust in him. Foe it was { the angels here who said, “This .\;5331»!1‘ i.1.--n\ which is taken up from you into | | heaven shall so come in like manner as ye | have seen him go into heaven.” *“Amen; | even so come, Lord Jesus.” Next Lesson—Review. i !
