long association has made me sadly familiar
the lives of the patient, toil-worn women
of the South. From my window / watch
the farmers pass in their mountain
schooners on their way to town TO effect
the seasonable exchange Of farm product
for household necessities. Many of the
women are old acquaintance, for 1 am
again on familiar ground. ] recognize the
serious, faded faces under the Bingham
sunbonnets as they nod in passing. The
rather pretty little woman who stopped at
the gate to show me the new baby is TWEEN

long season from September till January.
Luci, the eldest, picks forty pounds day,
for which her father allows her 10 cents.
BY the end of the season she will have
enough money saved to buy her winter
wardrobe. Her future is foretold by her
mothers uneventful, humdrum life She
will spend three months out of every year
lii attendance at a country school, pre-
ferably the winter season. The remaining
nine months will be equally divided be-
tween sowing and harvesting. The rainy
seasons will be devoted to quiltmaking,

fine art among mountain women, who re-
gard the inventor of q new design" as
something of a genius. Within five or six
years she will cheerfully waive the privi-
ieges and joys of youth for Che unknown re-
Sponsiblities of wifehood, or, failing in this
she will gradually assume the burdens of
household drudgery and lapse uncomplain-

Climate and Character.

London Spectator
There are advantages in the more check
cred course Of the American climate. 1t has
killed off many weaklngs. but it has de-
veloped a reSourceful character. a mind
ready for sudden emergencies. Nature must
have begun this educating influence i'm
mediately the Pilgrims landed on the bleak
New England shore; for they assuredly
could not have survived at all unless they
had been able to accommodate themselves
to the capriceS of that exacting climate so
improvements in ways of living, in houses
and in dress have been introduced into
America as the result of the educating in
f1uence of climate. The mind. has been
eager and more inventive by the pressure
of natural forces. On the other hand, just
as EngliShmen are in danger of Stolidity
as the extreme of their calm confidence,
nervous tension as the outcome of climate
full of surprises. The sudden political ex-
elements of America, so often ineXplicable
on purely political lines, may, perhaps, be
explained on the hypothesis of an organism
subjected to severe oyertensiOn; and the
sudden violence of American labor disputes,
like a bolt from the blue, may be due to the
same cause. Our own race has in this island
home slowly drawn in from the soil and
climate an immense stock of vigorous en-
ergy, but energy dominated by calm direc-
tive force. Rome had a similar power, and
hence Rome and England have, in two dis
tinct orders of civilization, been able to
spread to organize and to command
throughout vast regions of the world. For
this quality we may partly thank the IA
vorable physical conditions which .have OBJ
tanned here. The American branch of our
stock has, on the other hand, been COM
PEELED to face new climatic conditions,
which have developed ingenuity and re-
source, but at the expense of nerves. Each
type of character has its own strength and
validity. and each is competent TO effect
great work in the world.

Harper's Bazaar.
Mannerisms, personal peculiarities and
facial tricks in those with whom we are
thrown into close relations affect our
nerves after time. They are like Earring
notes which destroy melody and wear on
the listener until he can think of nothing
else
There is my friend Annabel, for instance.
Annabel is one of the wittiest, the most
generous of women I know. But when
Annabel is angry or hurt and does not want
to say so, but does want to say something
disagreeable about somebody, she has a
trick of running her tongue with the rapid
ity of lightning back and forth across her
lips after every statement which she is not
sure of your accepting. / can hardly stay
in the room with her after few moments
and were l to see her do this thing without
being near enough to hear a word / should
know exactly the frame of mind she was in.

but it means telling her as well something
about her mental traits, and | hardly dare
to do that
Then there is Adolphus. Poor Adolphus!
He lectures just at present, and everybody
fatters him, and he has never guessed that
he is not everything that is perfect, or that
half his audience turn away and say; VIII
nobody tell him? We forgive him because
he has some good things to say, but we
shut eyes while we listenT'
And that which AdolphuS does is to begin
by making an explanatory remark, like
art is long perhaps. Then he pauses,
scTapes his throat, and, standing for at
least fifty seconds with indrawn lips, he
rolls his eyes about over his audience to
see how his statement has been accepted.
l knew clergyman long ago who never
gave out his text without pausing directly
after to use his handkerchief in that good
old-fashioned way which meant a long-re-
sounding blast throughout the church.
Mrs. Dayton never says anything about
domestic, political or religious affairs with
out lifting her hands and wriggling her
fingers before you. Mr.. Garrison never adj
dresses a lady without cooking his elbows
or getting a little strut in his walk Mr.
Edmunds fills out his chest and straightens
his shoulders when he sees one coming to
whom he must take off his hat. Old Gen.
Randolph never to the day Of his death
gave up the habit of folding his napkin,
putting it into a silver ring, taking a last
drink of water and then wiping his lips
With the napkin he had just folded.
Habits are the result Of mental conditions
and our responsibilities for our children are
very great along these lines. Lack of train
ing always tells, and the duty of the parent
becomes serious one when the first symp-
toms of peculiar personal habits appear.
1t is easy to correct the child when young
not by severity or by making it self-con-
scious, bat by making it repeat an action
quietly before you, without the trick of
manner or of voice which had marred 1t.

Australian Manners.

Every Australian colony, however strong

influenced in what may be called it's man.
ners by the mother country. Australia be-
gan its political life with as close an APP
proach to an aristocracy as a new country
can make in the shape of the "squatters, .
most of them capitalists or scions of good
families from England These men OBJ
tained very large grants of land from the
government fer sheep farming. which they
managed in the beginning with convicts
whom they hired from the state, and whom
they were permitted TO fog in case of mis-
behavior. Their life, in short, was very
nearly that of the old cotton planter in the
South, with the "parriarchap' element
wanting. The first work of the new de-
mocracy was to overthrow them, and take
their large tracts OF land away from them.
But ii did not succeed, and has not sue
ceeded, in preventing tie formation of an
upper class of the "Inglish gentleman

liam still strives TO be. He does not become
"a man OF the people IN our sense. and
does not boast of his humble origin and
early struggles as much as our millionaire
is apt TO do.

Smart woman's Discontent.


ct amt such a grand thing to be smart.
My sisters don't know anything, and they
are all splendidly married and happy with
homes and children. Look at me- I'm out
in the world making my own living like a
man just because I'm smart, and / don't
think it pays.
This, comments the illustrated American,
was said by a woman who earns $1,000 or
$4,000 a year in a salaried position, and goes
to show that Notwithstanding her present
position of independence, the heart of
woman longs for a gentler life. There is
probably no woman over twenty-five who
would not gladly relinquish her position in
the world 20 feel the protection which a no.
BILE man extends to the woman of his
choice; but ii is equally true that the
woman whose ability gives her a position
in the business world prefers labor rather
than mating with an unsatisfactory part
ner and this is a matter in which self-re-
spect is concerned. The competent woman
will not commit that most retributiye of all
errors-marrying for home.
