A REAL SOCIETY.

REAL SOCIETY.
1t was the dream of at least some of
the founders of this republic that the
civilization here begun should stand as
the Towering of the ages gone before.
There should be no military despotism,
no hereditary nobility, no tyranny of
priesthood or church. All men should
have equality ofopportunity, and then,
as water finds it's level, society would
arrange itself.
Instead of this we seem thus far
merely to have repeated the social dis
tinctions of the old world A more
odious caste system than even that of
titled one of hereditary nobility is
upon our necks. 1t is the vulgar and
preposterous aristocracy of wealth.
An infnitesimal fraction of the inhabi-
tants of one city. New York, calls it.
self the society" of this country.
There are million people in the coun-
try more refined, more intellectual,
more brilliant in all social gifts than
any of the men and women who pose
before the public at Newport as the
''society" Of the United States. Those
persons with real social gifts may or
may not be rich. That is just as it
happens. But it is time for us to be-
gin to know that a real society has
nothing at all to do with wealth beyond
a certain amount necessary to provide
the comforts and refinenents of life.
When we all understand that, then,
and not till then, shall we begin to have
something worthy the name Of society
in this country.
In the real sense the little gilded
clique which poses at Newport in the
summer is not society at all. 1t has
10 right to the title because its title is
founded upon mere dollars. Every in
telligent neighborhood in America has
the makings of a real society surpass-
ing in brilliancy the present Newport
aggregation.
To consider the requisites of a genu-
inc society: First, there is the social
instinct, which man shares in common
with brutes. Then there is the in
stinct OF kindliness and courtesy, which
distinguishes the gentlemen from the
boor. Next there must be moral and
social purity. A society without these
would be like the region of lost souls.
1t would contain the elements of its
own destruction In ancient Rome, in
France, in England before Cromwell's
revolution, this was the case.
Next? Well, we should need that
aesthetic instinct which leads mankind
to refine itself and its language and
manners, to cultivate grace and beauty
of person, which begin with perfect
personal cleanliness. The aesthetic in
stinct will further lead us to surround
ourselves with what is dainty and
pleasing to the eye, inside our homes
and outside. This does not mean nee
essarily costliness A house of four
rooms may be as pleasing to the as-
thetic sense as one of twenty.
Finally, to the building of the per-
feet society there must be added all
the intellectual gifts and semi-intellec-
tual gifts mankind possesses. The cul-
tivation of music, of artistic, dramatic
and conversational talent, of social
games and amusements indoors and
out, all these go to the making Of the
best society. Why do We not begin to
build it in every town in this republic!

A SIGNIFICANT
DEPARTURE.

With the departure of another year
when a review is made of the condition
of affairs, it is only right that some
thought be given to the physical body
which enables everyone to battle with
life's problem and figure for themselves
the profit or loss on trial balance sheet.
Though the bank account may be
large and each ones material gain be
great, it would not be surprising if it
suddenly dawns upon many that good
health has been greatly impoverished
by the low condition of the blood. 1t is
in this state that lactic acid in the
vital fluid attacks the fibrous tissues,
particularly the joints, making known
the local manifestations of rheumatism
Thousands of people have found in
Hoods Sarsaparilla the great blood
purifier, positive and permanent cure
for rheumatism.

NioIcts in the SOUTH.

The open border is the place for vioiets
in the south. They are perennial, and the
rich dark green foliage forms a fine deco
rative binding to beds and borders. Solid
beds of violets are also very effective,
says the Florida Agriculturalist.
Their culture. here, is simplicity itself.
Fresh beds or borders are made either i'm
the spring or fall. The plants set in the
spring will be in prime blooming order
by fall, but those set in autumn will not
bloom worth mentioning until the next
year The soil is made rich with leaf
mold, chip dirt and compost from the
cowpen, literally mixed with sharp river
sand. The plants are set thickly, not
more than three inches apart in the rows
and from plant to plant. They mat to-
gether in a rich green mass as soon as
growth advances well. There. is. There
