Maxine FARM LABOR FASHIONABLE At the
base Of the prosperity of any people lies this
great principle-ndke farm labor fashi0nabp
at hOn2 Educate instruct, encourage and
offer all the incentives you can offer, to give
interest and dignity to labor at home Enlist
the heart and the intellect Of the family in the
support of a domestic system that will make
labor attractive at the homestead Bymeans
of the powerful influences of early home educa-
tion, endeavnr to invest practical labor with
an interest that will cheer the heart of each
member of the family and thereby you will
give to your household the grace, peace, refine
ment and attraction which God designed, a
home should possess
The truth is, we must talk more, think mere
4cork more, and act more in reference to ques
tions relating to home.
The training and improvement of the physical
Intellectual, social and moral powers and sent
ments of the youth of our country, require
something more than the School-house, academy
college and university. The young mind should
receive judicious training in the field. in the
garden in the barn, in the workshop, in the
parlor, in the ktchen--in word, around the
hearthstoue at home
Whatever intellectual attaiuments your son
may have acquired, he is unfit to go forth into
society if he has not had thrown around him
the genial and purifying influences of parents,
sisters, brothers, and the mqnsariRg influence
of the family government The nation must
look for virtue, wisdom, and strength, to the
education that controls and shapes the home
policy of the family circle. There can be no
love of country where there is no love of home
Patriotism, true and genuine, the only kind
worthy of the name, derives its mighty strength
from the fountains that euSh out around the
hearthstoue and those who forget to cherish
the household interests, will soon learn to look
with indifference upon the interests Of their
common country.
We must cultivate the rootS-not the tops
We must make the family gorernment, the
school, the farm, the church. the shop, the
agricultural fairs the laboratories of our future
greatness. We must educate our sons TO be
farmers, artizans, architects, engineers, geolog-
lists, botanStS, chemistS--in a word, practical
men. Their eyes must be turned from Wash
ington to their States counties, townships, dis
tricts, homes. This is true patriotism land the
only patriotism that will perpetualy preserve
the nation.--G0v. Wright.

PRorIrs OF SEWING MAcHINEs-A "pecu-
liar institution" for the family is the Sewing
Machine number Of large factories are now
occupied in turning them out by the hundred
every day. The machines vary almost as much
as cooking stoves, but in every one, the princi-
pIein the use of the needls, is the sams. Elias
Howe, Jr., of Cambridgeport, Mass, obtained
a patent for the frst practically useful sewing
machine in 1916 For several years it was q
source Of annoyance and expense to him, with
little or no pecuniary profit. Since that time
many Improvements have been patented and
the manufacturing of sewing machines is now
the most extensive business in the United
States, and thousands are sold annually
Elias Howe, Jr once poor inventor, with few
friends, now receives from the most prominent
makers of sewing machines, a tribute that will
make him, before the first term of his patent ex-
pires, QS60,) one Of the wealthiest men in this
country. We do not speak from any positive
knowledge of the facts, but his present annual
income canuot be calculated al less than one
hundred thousand dollars certain il is, that in
the course Of single month ho must have re-
ceived from one establishment no less than sixty
thousand dollars, judging from the number Of
machines sold by that concern.

The WOMEN OF CAPRI, IrALr.-Its women.

down to them undefled. I never saw in all
Italy, such lovely creatures Thry are tall
and stately. yet exquisitely graceful, with pure
oval faces, dark eyes, soft and downcast, and a
sweet dignity in their aspect and their bearing
that made them look to me like so many yir-
gin queens. l could not think with patience

mesallance of the two English gentlemen who
married Capri girls. Women like those we saw

manhood. They may be peasants, they may
be ignorant, but rude or vulgar they cannot
