WOMAN'S MISSION.
The Same Now That Has Fallen to Hel
Lot Since the World Began.

The Same Now That Has Fallen to Her
Lot Since the World Began.
We have heard q great deal in the
past year about woman's mission and
woman's sphere, Until between two
contending forces we have begun to
wonder whether woman really has any
right to exist on the earth at all.
On the one hand we have been told
that she is entirely too good for this
earth, but while watching to see her
unfold her downy wings and fly away
to some spot where political economy
Is unheard Of, along comes another
nrgumentative person and tells us that
woman is such very inferior creature
that we look to see her swallowed up
instantly in that pit whose bottom he's
not yet been sounded.
Instead of either of these things hap
pening, woman continues to perform
much the same mission that has fallen
to her lot since the world began; doing
1t better In some cases than in others,
more appreciated sometimes than at
others, but doing her mission and de-
yeloping with the race and with the
world into her new opportunities, high
er duties and greater privileges. 1t is
an old teaching but one which we need
constantly to recall to mind, that the
one who does that duty which is near
est at hand is the one who accomplishes
the most for the world. II is as true of
classes as 1t is of observation-disclosures
kind.

be secured to forked stick, piece of

anything of the sort, and suspended in

any part of the room, and they make
one of the most attractive objects inn
aginable in the way of floral decora-
tion and have the advantage of keeping

pointed, and of a beautiful grayish

thrive in any window, requiring simply
good sprinkling of water once or
twice week; and the plant is odd and
attractive even when it does not send

THE FARMING WORLD.
PLANTING POTATOES.
Ocep, Mellow Soil, Kept in Good Tilt
GIvaa the nast Raauita

Ooep, Mellow Soil, Kept in Good Tilth,
Gives the Best Results.
There are two advantages in plant
ing potatoes reasonably deep. One Is
they are less liable to be injured by
drought. The other is that there is no
necessity for killing up to prevent sun
scald. To grow and yield well potatoes
require considerable moisture, If the
soil is stirred thoroughly and deep and
the planting is deep they will be more
certain of securing plenty Of moisture
than when the blowing and planting
are shallow.
Keeping the surface level and in q
good filth aids in retaining moisture
In the soil,
A deep, mellow, loose soil kept in a
good filth gives the best results with
all crops. Run out the burrows with a
single shovel pillow, plant reasonably
deep, cover well. If good drainage is
provided and there is not too much dan
ger of washing, it will be best not to
fill up the burrows entirely, but to do
this gradually as the cultivation is
given. The potatoes may be planted
deeper this way than would be best if
all of the covering must be given at
once.
Have the soil rich, and If there is not
enough well-rottcd manure to make
the necessary fertility, it will be a good
plan to use commercial fertilizer, APP
plying it in the hill before the seed is
planted.
If the soil is well-prepared before
planting the cultivation can begin with
the harrow and generally the first har-
rowing can be given before the plants
show above ground and second very
soon after. In this way the soil can be
kept in good filth and the weeds de-
stroyed at low cost.
If the planting is shallow, more or
less killing up will be necessary in or
der to prevent sun-scald, and the soil
will dry out more rapidly, often to an
extent to seriously affect the growth
and yield.--St. Louis Republic.

FAMILY SCRAP BASKET.

To Danish the smell of stall tobacco
smoke burn little coffee on a shovel
and carry it through the room.
Five feet five inches is the average
height of a woman. A woman of that
height should weigh about 1875 pounds.
Place piece of camphor the size of
walnut in the oil when filling the
lamps and it will give bright and
steady light.
When bamboo furniture is dirty it
may be cleaned with small brush
dipped in warm water and salt. The salt
will prevent the bamboo from turning
yellow.
To remove stains from marble mix
equal quantities of lemon juice and
vitriol. Wet the stains with the mixture
and after few minutes rub them with
soft, dry cloth.
Some ink stains may be removed by
smearing hot tallow on them. The tai.
low should be left on day or two, and
the linen should be put in the wash with
1t still on.
To renovate leather chairs wipe the
cushions with a slightly damp cloth
and then rub dry. Next apply the white
of an egg beaten to a stiff froth and rub
with soft cloth.
To clean vanished paint take small
quantity of tea leaves, pour hot water
over them, let them steep for half an
hour, then drain through sieve and use
the liquor for cleaning the paint.
The best cure for earache or faceache
is n potato poultice. Boil four or five
potatoes in their skins. When cooked
as for eating drain them from the water
and stand OH a stove to dry. Put the hot
potatoes into flannel bag and sew the
end up. Crush the potatoes in your
hand and apply to the affected part.
1t will relieve the pain almost instantly.

A SOUTHERN OPINION.
Tho Road Problem Is Asserting Itself IN
the Cotton States.

Tho Road Problem Is Asserting Itself In
the Cotton States.
The subject of improved public high
ways is attracting large share of pub
lie attention. In the opinion of the
Southern Farm Gazette, of Starlville,
Miss, good roads is one great need of
the day in the cotton states. In order
10 have better roads, it is necessary to
reorganize our present general plans of
road working, and adopt more modern
and more effective methods. 1t seems
that 1t would be wise plan to utilize
county convicts in connection with this
line of work. These convicts are usual
ly burden on the county. They should
be worked. They should be worked
for profit. What better profit can the
tax payers desire than the profit aris-
ing from better public roads? Better
roads are indirectly profit to every
farmer that travels over them. The
better the road, the less strain upon the
team and the wagon and the harness
and the patience of the driver. The
better the road, the greater the saving
of time in going from one mile TO an
other, and the greater ease with which
the burden of freight is transported

How to Have a Soft Skin.

A velvety softness and whiteness may
be given to the skin by using pure cas-
tile soap and oatmeal during the proc
ess Of bathing. In order to accomplish
this very desirable result, small bags,
composed Of thin cheese cloth, about
five inches square, should be made by
machine, and each one filed loosely
with the following mixture: Five
pounds of oatmeal ground fine, half q
pound of pure CASTLE soap reduced to

Italian orris root. Those ingredients
should be thoroughly mixed together
The oatmeal bags should be used as q
