Woman's power is largely dependent
upon her ability to interest, entertain, at

women strive to become accomplished.
They study in order that they may converse

accomplishments at her command. Any
woman affected in this way should resort

of pea vines for the benefit of the soil.
Our objection is not based on the
insistence that the soil will not be
more benefited by turning under the
entire growth. We do not say that
the land will be as much benefited by
turning under the stubble only. after
removing the vine in the form of hay,
as it would be if the entire crop be
permitted to remain. But we insist
that farmer cannot afford to turn
under a crop of pea vines, ready to
cut and cure into ton or more Of hay
per acre. He cannot afford to use
food that is fit for animal consumption
for plant food; to turn back into soill
a highly organized product like pea
vines. A ton of cured peavines is
worth not less than SIS as food for
animals. 1t would be worth about Sc
or 81 as food for the soil, or as plant
food. That is to say, that the ele-
ments of plant food that are found in
one ton Of pea vine hay can be bought
for about Sc or 81 in the form of
commercial fertilizers. So, then, to
turn under SIS worth of hay in order
to get into the soil Sc worth of plant
food is equivalent to throwing away
about 50 worth of value. Moreover,
We get the $15 value out of ton of
hay and then may return the result
ing manure to the soil, and in doing
so we realize not less than S. worth Of
fertilizer. In other words, if all the
manure-liquid and solid-resulting
from a ton of peavine hay consumed
by grown animals, be carefully pre-
served and returned to the soil, the
value of the manure would amount to
not less than so per cent Of its
fertilizing value before feeding it, or
before cutting it from the land.
An excellent way to realize both the
food and the manurial value Of crop
of COW peas is to pasture the field,
either with cattle or horses when in
full growth, or ready to NOW, or with
hogs after the peas are ripe; or gather
the ripe peas aud then pasture. But
the best way is to make hay Of the
vines, pasture off the stubble for a
few days and then turn under.

Charles Dudley Warner, in the
Outlook, tells the story Of his encoun-
ter with bear last Summer. Brought
into close quarters, some very serious
thoughts quite overwhelmed him. "As
I was cooking my gun, I made a hasty
and unsatisfactory review of my whole
life. The sins came out uncommonly
strong. I recollected a newspaper
subscription l had delayed paying,
years and years ago, until both edi-
tor and newspaper were dead, and
which now never could be paid to all
eternity p That is warning that
ought not to be neglected. 1t may set
some people to thinking Of bears and
unpaid subscriptions. We shall be
awfully sorry if bear shall come out
of the mountains and devour any Of
our friends this summer.-Centrdt

BILL ARP'S LETTER.
Arp Tells Of the Disappointment Of a V ct
Atlantic Constitution.
Gra1l.

ask any more. The love and obedl-
ence of good child is beyond price.
The disobedience and ingratitude OF a
bad one is the most intense OF all
miseries. There is not greater COZ
trast upon earth than in the joy or the
sorrow that children bring to parents.
From the time of old Eli until now
this contrast has been going on.
That poor old man had the curse OF
God upon him because his children
were vile and he restained them not.
I tell you, young friends, who have
mated and married and are rearing
children, you had better read and pom
der the story of old Eli. The first
commandment says "I will visit the
sins of the fathers upon the children, -
but in this story the Lord visited the
sins of the children upon the parent.
The old man was cursed and the
priesthood taken from his house for
ever. What if all the preachers who
have bad children were deposed in
these days? How many churches
would be closed against the married
clergy? Wouldn't the young theo-
logians be in demand and have a
monopoly of the business until they,
too, got married and raised bad chill
dren? There has been much said and
more written about how to raise chill
dren; but the old landmarks are the
best. They must be restrained and,
if example and commands will not do
it, then the rod must help. Line
upon line, precept upon precept-here
a little and there little, which l
suppose means whip little on this
side and then little on the other
side. I heard sensible and fond
mother say yesterday: 81 spanked
Mary Lou twice within few minutes,
and it didn't do her bit Of good.
Then I spanked her third time and
she has been the best little child in
the world ever since. y
But every parent knows as much
about this as I do, and sol will refrain
from further advice. Every mother
knows how to raise other peoples
children, and I know Of no one who
says she is tempted to move away to
get her children away from the bad
influence of her neighbors' children.
The neighbors smile at this, for they
know that she has the worst in town
and they are willing for her to go.
Even my wife used to think that the
school teacher ought to whip every
boy but hers. It is touching and
beautiful fact that however bad boy
may be and however abused and con-
demned by the community and the
laws Of the land, if he has mother
he has a friend. BILL ARP.

Less Liquor Drinking.

The bulletin for the Federal depart
ment Of labor for July gives figures to
show that there has been a large de-
crease in the consumption of intoxi-
eating liquors by the people Of this
country. In 1880 the consumption of
distilled spirits in the United States
was Q! gallons for every man, woman
and child; in 1896 it was less than
one gallon.
Such cecrease in the use of strong
drink probably never occurred before
among any people.
There has also been decrease in
the use of wine in this country. The
per capita consumption Of wine in
1880 was .29 Of gallon, and in 1896
it was .26 of gallon.
But while there has beer some de-
crease in the use Of wine and very
great decrease in the use of whiskey,
brandy, gin and other spirits, the con-
sumption Of beer has increased i'm
mensely.
In 1896 no less than 1,170,379, ,448
gallons of beer were used in this coun-
try. The beer used for medicines, in
cooking and for other purposes except
drinking is comparatively very small.
The great bulk of the beer consumed
in 1896 was drunk. The per capita
consumption Of beer in 1880 was only
l.36 gallons. By 1896 it had increas-
ed to 1916 gallons.
In spite Of this fact there is good
reason to believe that there has been
great growth of temperance among
our people during the past eighteen
years. Their larger use of mild drinks
is more than compensated for by the
great reduction of the quantity of
strong and fiery liquors. .-Atlanto

inches deep and one and one-quarter
inches wide. not including the small
piece of stalk of gold thread.
The first thing to do in making the
belt is to cut out the required number [
leaves in rough tailor's linen. then paint
one side of each leaf over with strong,
clear gum, which will stiffen the linen
and prevent it fraying untidily at the
edges. When the gum has quite dried
gum the other side also; and while it is
still wet press each leaf down upon the
wrong side of the piece of satin bought
TO cover the leaves. AS the linen and
satin dry together cut out the satin to
the shape of the leaf, which should
present n very neat appearance If too
much gum has not been used, and if the
satin is cut out with a sharp pair of
scissors.

Each leaf being thus covered with
satin, the neecle-worker would proceed
to the decoration. A rather thick gold
cord, perhaps three times the thickness
of No. "a sewing cotton, is required to
outline the shape of the leaf, and this IS
bound over and over to secure it to the
leaf by means Of stitNhes Of silk; this
silk may either be gold-colored to
match the cord or emerald green to
match the gems. The gems selected
must not be too large or clumsy, for the
larger these mock stones are the less
effective are they.
Having studded the emeralds round
the edge and down the center vein of
the leaf, nothing more will be required
to finish it beyond veining Of gold bulf
lion. which, as most fancy workers
know, is sewn down in pieces threaded
upon silk.
When the due number of leaves have
been made to ft the waist of the person
intending to wear the belt, they should
be attached to the velvet band by means
of long stitches concealed under the

the back two leaves are placed point to
