The Restful Calm of Home

1t is high time that our women
should lead calmer lives writes Ed
ward Box of The Rush of Ameri-
can Women" in the January Ladies'
Home Journal. They should get
away from the notion that what we
call progress in these days demands
that they shall fill their thoughts
and lives with matters at the cost of
their health or peace of mind. Our
homes must have more of a restful
calm, and our wives must not be
lured into nervous haste and forget
fulneSs by wrong ambitions or fool
lsh ideas of what the world expects
Of them. There must be left 10 ev-
cry woman clearly defined interval
of leisure for the enjoyment of those
influences which make our fresides

ing and uplifting calm. 1t isa par

beautiful things which our homes
contain. But we must not let that feel

make it or live in it. Let us live in
and know our own homes. and get
the advantage of that restful calm.

the work of the home inside and the

tropical labor to produce a surplus
for commerce, will directly violate

There is no reasonable legal doubt
that the penal contracts under which
labor is forced in Hawaii to produce
a surplus are obnoxious to the thir-
teenth amendment. Nor is there
much room for doubt that if that

jurisdiction of the United States, the

ceases.

Miles Meat Scandal.

While in Cincinnati recently Gen.
Miles submitted to an interview.
When asked as to the investigation
into the beef rations' scandal he is
now making, TO which he referred in
his testimony before the War Inves-
tigation Committee, he said:
"My suspicious were aroused sew
eral months ago and | at once instl-
tuted an investigation into the mat
ter of sending beef 10 the Army in
the West Indies. The reference in
my testimony relating 70 337 tons of
refrigerator beef and $4,000 pounds
of canned fresh beef, which was un-
fit for food, is only an item. This
quantity was sent to one town in
Porto Rico alone. How much more
WAS sent to Porto Rico. do not
know"
How vas the beef supply for the
Army in Cuba:"
at was Just as bad. The condi-
tions there were no better than hev

my testimony
How about rations before the
Army embarked: Was the supply
no better before the transports sailed
than after the Army was established
in Cuba"
1T was the same at Tampa and the
same at Jacksonville."
will YOU give little more light
rs TO what YOU meant by this asser-
tiou Ia your testimony before the
War Commissions"
General Miles had suggested that
the food was sent to his large army
under the pretense of an experiment.
Il think, replied General Miles,
that that sentence is sufficiently
plain. 'Preteuse' l. the precise term
to use. 1t is absurd to pretend that
these enormous quantities of beef
were sent TO an entire army simply
as an experiment. TO expect that
the beef can be exposed TO the tropi-
cal sun for so hours without putri-
flying is out of the question"
How about the chemicals used

London. Aug. 22.-There is no longer

ment of court of inquiry. He may
have done so automatically or hedging
ly; but that his answer is regarded by
the British government as tantamount
TO positive refusal is now an estab-
lished fact. The Colonial office is nor
mally non-committal, but there are
other evidences which amply justify
the statement. The report that Presi-
dent Kruger has proposed new terms
is somewhat verified by the guarded
comment OF the Colonial officials and
the irritabihty displayed there. There
is not the slightest doubt that they be-

THE DAHLIA'S HISTORY.


More than one hundred years ago
Baron Humboldt discovered the dahlia.
a small, single flower. in Mexico. Could
some prophetic vision have revealed ia
him the dahlia Of today i'm its dazzling
hues and varied forms he might per-
haps. have been prouder OF that dis
covery than OF all his other scientific
achievements. 1t was sent by him to
the Botanical Gardens. Madrid where
II received the name OF dahlia i'm honor
Of the botanist. Porf Andrew Dahl.
The same year Il was introduced into
England. where IL was cultivated under
glass says the London Globe For a few
years II was lost TO cultivation, then
reintroduced into England. Cultivation
soon developed the double form. and
every color except blue. For many
years the ideal dahlia OF the cultivators
was n perfectly double. bali-shaped
Hover Those who remember The COM
pact flowers OF so or 10 years ago know
how nearly that Ideal was realized, and
remember the deserved popularity OF
the dahlia OF that day. But some peo-
pie soon tired of the regularity of that
tyne. and for few years IL was neg
lected. Florists were giving time. la
Dor and thought TO the development
or the rose carnation. chrysanthemum
and other popular flowers.
At last some far-seeing cultivator
recognized the possibilities OF the
dahlia. and In new. improved and more
beautiful shades OF color ~ resumes it's
sway. and today greets us I'm SO many
varied and attractive forms that every
taste may be suited.
