AS TO NOMINATING
In It's Highest Sense a Home Is the
Greatest Blessing Family
Can Have.

In order to know what are our re-
sponsiSilities as "homemakers" we
must go back to the derivation of the
word home" In distinction from the
word residence, which is derived from
the French, and simply means an
abiding place." the word home means
by its derivation place of rest" 1t
is not enough to provide shelter and
food; home in its highest sense must
provide rest and peace of mind for the
weary-hearted. 1t must be a haven
from care and from all the turmoil
and struggle of the outside world. In
so far as we cease to protect our
homes from brooding care, from fret
fulness and all uncharitableness, they
cease to be homes, but mere residences,
says the New York Tribune.
Those homes that are only show
places for the expenditure of money,
which has left them heavily mort
gagged, can never be places of peace
that a simpler home, strictly within
the limits of the owners price, may
be. The first necessity in the founda-
ton of a home is that it should be
built on a rock of integrity. There
must be wise consideration of the in
come. There must be no sham, no
false pride. The necessities of life
must be considered first. There must
be abundance of good, wholesome
| food Dainty food is luxury no more
to be INDUCED in than silk and fine
raiment when there is not income
enough to provide more than plain,
substantial clothes. A home in it's
highest sense is the greatest blessing
which any family can possess. Wealth
will not give it, nor can love bestow
it, if there is not mutual concession
and mutual help in the family. 1t re-
quires the spirit of self-sacriice to
create home, a sacrifice that pays
thousandfold in it's return.
The ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS and woman
for no one member of family can
create an ideal home-must be able to
concede one to the other in the build
ing of that holy place-home. They
must concede nothing to the world
nothing to the supposed requirements
of the world-but live simply within
the limits of their income, though
their bonnie bairnies" are fed on
nothing better than wholesome por-
ridge and wear nothing finer than dur
able homespun. The essentials of
home, a place of rest, are theirs.
The essentials of living being pro-
vided and paid for, it is necessary to
provide something to lay aside for the
future, for insurance, for church
| books and the wants of the higher
| life. These matters cannot be consid-
cred in their relative bearing to the
income until the necessities of life be
provided for. We cannot provide mere
| ly food which will support; it must be
nutritious food, which will keep the
body and mind in healthy condition.
The danger of undertaking, in the
way of consuming food that merely
satisfies the appetite, without furnish
ing the proper nutrition to the body,
is as great as the danger of eating
too little food. 1t is followed by the
| most disastrous results in mind and

THE CLOUD VOLCANO.

Dark rose the rugged peak toward the
west,
With dun clouds wrapped around its sable
crest,
While here and there in deep ravines be-
low
Were fieecy drifts of curved and carven
snow;
A picture full of solemn somber power
Limned on the sky at sunsets quiet hour.
When suddenly upon it's summit cleaned.
Eruptions of red fire, which famed and
seemed
An outburst of the pent-up fires below,
Some running lava-like DER drifts of
snow,
Some rising in a mighty lurid pyre
Unto high Heaven to kindle and aspire
On the cloud-mountain side there opened
seams
Such as Satanic imps might see in
dreams,
Glimpses of furnace fires from awful
deeps,
Sometimes in sullen glow which slowly
creeps
IN mighty currents, crimson-tinted tides
Which Ger all obstacles with red power
strides.
And there were glowing caves with en-
bers trimmed,
Deep, fathomless ravines by black smoke
dimmed,
While bonfres famed and kindled up
anew
AS though the fiends in hell cut windows
through,
That they might note and mock with
ghoulish mirth
The scenes such lurid lights revealed on
earth.
Only the clouds. but they seemed shaped
and wrought
By some great artist STEPPED in somber
thought,
Who wished to show how small earth S
burning hills
Beside these peaks beribboned with red
rillS
OF fire intense in mighty plan and play,
In scenic splendor stretching far away
Through unspanned spaces, etched on
twilight gray.

TO HOUSEKEEPERS.
Suggestions That May Serve to-
Help Them in Their Daily
Duties.

Housekeeping is becoming pretty
solemn thing to the city woman par
ticularly. She mustn't beat her rugs,
carpets, etc, i'll her back yard, be-
cause the dust flies in the windows
again and is again disseminated Just
what she shall do to get rid of the dirt
and dust is not vouchsafed by sci
entists, who concern themselves chief
ly by telling her what she mustn't do,
says the Detroit Free Press.
For custards, five eggs and as many
milk is the general rule. Heat the
milk and turn upon the beaten eggs
and sugar, stirring constantly.
When you have no cream to serve
with strawberries a strawberry Gus
tard is nice. Make custard of one
pint of milk, the yolks of three eggs
and four tablespoonfuls of sugar.
Set aside to cool. Beat the whites of
the eggs till stiff froth, beat in four
tablespoonfuls of powdered sugar.
Put pint of strawberries into deep
dish, pour the custard over them. then
pile on the whites of the eggs, set in
the oven to brown slightly and serve
very cold
The housekeeper will admit that
original sin could be more easily elm
mated from theology than dust from
her apartments. Dust is everywhere
assumed as the outward and useful
evidence of neglect and untidness.
Yet who can ever get the best of it?
The latest ''idea" is the chamois-cloth
buster, made of soft, furry cloth just
the color of a new chamois-skin, which
collects the dust and, unlike cheese
cloth, holds it until sharply shaken or
washed. Thus the dust is held as well
as taken up, and may be ultimately dis
posed of most thoroughly.

how different she is to what pictured

"'What was that?' naturally asked
"'Oh, old and frumpy, the regula-
ton dowager, with high nose and
plastered-down hands,"
In this unlucky fashion began the
personal acquaintance, if it may be so
called, between the new Lord Whitney
and the widow of his predecessor. The
piquancy of the situation from the
spectators point of view lay in the fact
that the two persons concerned were
the opposing leaders of family feud.
The old Lord Whitney had always re-
sented the fact that he had no son,
and Lady Whitney was even more indig-
nant that her daughter could not i'm
herit to the exclusion of the distant
cousin. The fact that the principal

for two weeks getting ready for the
big event and the last touches on the
details of the arrangements have
been made.
Military park. where the notifica-
ton will take place, has been elab-
orately decorated. The speakers
stand will accommodate all dis
tinguished visitors. including the

ness interests and democratic organ
izations of the city and state will
meet the Bryan train at Lafayette.

DREDGE BOAT BLOWN UP.
