Put on Pedestal and Worshipped by
~r the Men.
All plantation life is to a considera-
Die extent patriarchal, except that, in
stead of women being subordinated to
masculine pleasure and aggrandizement
as With the patriarchs of old, they are
set on pedestal and practically Wor-
shipped, says Lippincott's. It makes
little difference to this modern patri-
arch OF the cotton belt if his cuffs are
trayed and his coat rusty, so long as
his wife and daughters wear suits to
church that are as stylish as his crops
can pay for and their village Dress
maker can devise. 1t is a feature of
the day in the south, as we'll as else
where, that women are being better. ed
ucated than men. In the northern
states of the Union this higher culture
is tending manifestly to celibacy, but
IN rural localities through the south the
girls come back from academies and
colleges and accept the young men who
stayed at home to work the plantations,
the same ones they would have married
had they not gone away for the edu-
cation the parents sacrificed so much to
| bestow. They know what splendid ma
terial these men are made Of, and in
the attraction between the eternal
Womanly and the eternal manly the
question of book learning counts for
little. To lead patriarchal life with
out patriarch would be dull indeed.
and it must be said that it REQUIRES
courage of a. superior order to remain
single in situation which would Of
fer little aim and stimulus outside Of
wifehood and maternity after youth
has waned. For this reason, youth is
considered the high prize, the valuable

| specially fastened on them by the pop-
ular mind while they are still in their

all things, even of marrying well.

Sight Returned for g. Dav

Isaac Black, farmer living south OF
Anderson, Ind, who has been blind
for years, has just passed through an
experience which is attracting the at
tentlon OF local medical men and sur
geons. The first of the past week his
eye-sockets and sightless ORES began to
get sore. Thursday morning he open
ed his eyes to find that sight had fully
returned. The JOY almost overcame
him. He had prayed for years, to be
able to see his family. and the sur
roundings of his home, anc it seemed
as though his prayers were answered.
But gradually the next day the sight
left him, and again he is in total dark
ness. Oculists can give him but little
hope Of seeing again. : q. r.
