OUTINGS FOR THE GIRLS.
With Help for Tired Mothers in Suburban
Towns.

Towns.
sob! how l wish l could get out of
the hot city for little rest and change
this summer! l can't afford to pay
cash for my board; but, indeed! I'd be
very glad to sew or do any kind of
work around the house for it, ex-
claimed bright young woman to a
sympathetic customer with philan-
thropic inclinations, whom she was
serving. 'No; I've no one could Wis
it," she continued, in reply to the nat
ural suggestion that she might visit a
friend.
A few days later the customer was
calling at a charming little home in a
pleasant suburb, when her hostess,
apropos of some pressing duties, said:
If knew of some nice young wom-
an who would like to spend a week or
two in the country, and who would
come and stay here and help me a lit
tie with my work each day, would
board her without charge, and be glad
of the chance! 1t would really be a
mutual benefit; she would have an in
expensive outing-a genuine outing,
too, for l could easily arrange matters
SO that she might have a good portion
of each day for recreation and to enjoy
this bracing air and picturesque seen
ery-and / could get caught up in
some of my sewing, and have some
rest, too; and each would be giving a
full equivalent for value received.
You're always studying up some plan
to help people who try to help them
selves, can't you suggest something for
my case?"
She of the philanthropic inclina-
lions Immediately bethought herself
of the bright young woman in the
sitting city shop. They talked the
matter over, and in less than a week
the city girl was enjoying the longed-
for country surroundings, while her
hostess was equally happy in the pros
pect Of getting caught up" in her
work and having some rest. The ex-
pertinent proved n perfect success; and
thus was sown the germ which has
grown into the Helping Hand Visitors
club, of New York city, q unique or
ganIzatlon, formed on the plan carried
out in the first experiment, through
which those who have homes in the
country and who would like to receive
helping hand visitor for a sojourn of
any specified length can be put into
communication with respectable self
supporting women in cities-clerks
seamstresses, milliners, etc. = who,
though anxious to spend a short vaca-
ton in the country, cannot afford the
necessary expenditure for board

A sort of mythology has grown up
about the American Indian in regions
whence he vanished one hundred years
ago. The popular names of many
plants include the adjective Indian.
Few persons in America say Indian
corn now, but Indian cakes is term
still stronglyintrepched south of Mason
and DiXon's line, and there is even a
plant known to children as Indian
tobacco. The brilliant Gamma is called
Indian shot, because its seeds are
black. bullet-like pellets. Indian ira
ditions are preserved with sort Of
reverence in the truth. Twenty-Five
years ago local travellers on certain
road in Worcester county, Nd, COM
monty stopped at a point in the re-
mote country, reached under bush
at the roadside, drew forth stone
mortar and pestle used by the Indians
one hundred years before, showed the
relies to any stranger in the company,
and carefully put them back. A whole
neighborhood knew the whereabouts
of the instruments, but they seemed

FARMAousEs IN A GROUP.

An agitation has been going on in
Georgia to establish village farming,
and a meeting viii be called soon at
Floyd Springs, in Floyd county. in that
state, to organize a stock company to
establish this system upon n tract Gov,
ering twenty-five square miles of good
rolling land. In the tract is a stream,
the water-powcr of which it is pro-
posed to use. On the hills are large
orchards. and the creek bottom fur
nishes large proportion Of rich land.
This movement is the result of dis
cussion By the local press. The Erst
suggestion was made in tie Rome
Tribune il December and more recent
~ the st.bjcct has been followed up by
DR.. Ii. c. \, litc, OF the state u:livcr-
sity, through a series Of articles in the
Atlanta Constitution. The causes,w which
make this change necessary ere deep
seated and far-rcachinG. For years
folonious assaults have been on the in
crease in the south, and it has come to
the pass that prudent men dislike to
leave their families unprotected on isO-
lated farms while they are at some dis
lance away 1t work. The chief cause
is the depression in agriculture result
ing from the present system of INSULT
Gent culture over wide area. The idea
is to substitute extensive farming and
sell the surplus land.
An equally important cause is the
lack OF social facilities on widely-sep-
arated farms, especially during the
winter months, when the roads are of
ten very bad. Thus, on tract OF
twenty-five miles square, there would
he one hundred and sixty farms of one
hundred acres each, and as many fam
lilies situated at village in the center
of the tract, where they would have all
the advantages of urban life, with
schools, churches, post Office, stores,
etc, and at the same time no man
would be further than two miles from
his farm, and could easily reach it in
twenty-five minutes. Thus all the
mOnotony of rural life would be avoid
ed while practically all of its freedom
would be retained.
This system has been urged by Gov.
Northen, DIR. White, the Rome Trib-
une, and a number of prominent men.
Similar movements are in process of
formation in other parts of the state,
and from what can be seen this new
phase of rural life Is likely to extend
throughout the southern states 1t
will have great effect upon crops,
and it is likely to curtail the produc-
ton of cotton and increase grain grow
ing, fruit growing and a variety of ag-
ricultural and horticultural industries.
1t is part of the Floyd county scheme
to establish canning factory for the
preservation of the fruit raised.

4 MAMMOTH BASS.
1t Took Horse to Bring the Mons
Fish to Land.


1t Took Horse to Bring the Monster
Fish to Land.
Matthias Ketchera, hostler of the
Seal Rock house on the ocean beach,
lately caught the largest sea bass that
the coast has seen for many long
day. It is Ketchera's business to rise
early each morning and, hitching a
horse to wagon, patrol the sands for
a couple of hours in search of drift
wood. When he has collected his daily
pile he returns to the hotel, unhitches
his horse and awaits customers. But
Matthias, or Mike, as he is more famil-
iarly termed, has other callings. He
is the s:lone fisherman" of the beach.
Every one knows him, for he is IA
nous. Each day as he scours the
beach for wood he takes long line
with him, which he throws out into
the sea and awaits results. A few days
ago, according to the San Francisco
Examiner, he got more than he bar
gained for.
Matthias had scarcely thrown his line
when, TO his establishment, it was
pulled from his grasp. He had some to
- - SAAANA 3 dUSW G0-
deavored to land his prize. Soon the
!umpings and writings of large OBJ
Ject came to his vision, and Matthias
concluded that he had hooked some
sea monster. Pull as he would he could
not haul in his line. Then his invsn-
tive genius asserted itself. Hastily
making fast the line to the axletree of
the cart lie yelled for his horse Pom
Pey to Get" Pompey got. The re-
suit was that the prize was landed and
proved to be an enormous sea bass.
Matthias put his catch into his wagon
and started for home. There his fish
was weighed. 1t proved to be four
feet seven inches in length and sixty
hive pounds in weight, the largest fish
of its kind that has been caught on
that part of the coast.

POLITICAL lNslNcERlTY.


The Republicans of Kansas Are Insincere
In Their Assertions Concerning Railroad
Legislation.
Political insincerity has seldom been
more thoroughly demonstrated than by
the populist state senate of Kansas.
That party resolved in favor of electing
railway commissioners by the people,
The republicans placed that doctrine in
their platform three years ago. When
the railway bill went to the populist
senate it refused to pass it for the
avowed reason that it allowed the peo-
pie to elect the commissioners, that
body insisting that the power to appoint
should be lodged in the executive coun-
Gil. This demonstration of the insin-
cerity of the populist leaders in the
Kansas senate ought to open the eyes
OF great many people who have been
looking for an era of ''populist reform. -
-Atchison Champion, March Is.
The utter lack of political sincerity
and honesty as well as good sense in
this claim which is being iterated and
reiterated in the republican press is
shown by two facts which need only be
stated without word of comment The
first is that the original Greenlee bill
had no provision for the election of rail-
way commissioners by the people That
section was an after consideration and
was offered as an amendment to the
original bill probably with the special
purpose in view of affording opportun-
ity for the Misrepresentation and false
hood that are now being published con-
corning it. The second fact is that the
maximum freight bill passed by both
the senate and the Dunsmore house
contains this section:
At the general election in November 1898,
there shall be elected three commissioners.
who after the first Monday in January, 1894,
shall constitute the board of railroad commits
sioners OF the state. and shall serve oniciaI
terms as follows to-wit: The one for the First
district for one year, the one for the Second
district for two years, and the one for the
Third district for three years, respectively,
from the first Monday in January 1891: and at
the general election every year thereafter there
shall be elected commissioners who shall be a
member OF the said board, and who shall serve
for the term of three years from the first Mon
day in January next following his election; and
in case any vacancy occurs in said board at any
time not thereby provided for, the governor
shall appoint a competent person to serve I'M
til the next general election thereafter. to fill
unexpired term, or until his successor from
said district has been duly elected and quail
fed
This settles the question as to the pO-
sition of peoples party senators and
representatives in relation to the cleo
ton of commissioners by the people.
1t also settles the question of the local
ity of the political insincerity' that is
manifested upon this subject.-Topeka
