THE SPIRIT OF GIVING.

One of the most beautiful customs
engrafted on the Christmastide is the
spirit of giving to friends and the
loved ones who are within the inner
circle of our lives, says the Rome Trib-
une. 1t seems singularly appropriate
that the anniversary of the Nativity
should be made season to tender
these testimonials of affections I'M
studied esteem.
But unhapily for humanity and for
the preservation of the Joy of this holy
season, we are drifting away from all
that makes it dear We are letting the
extravagancies of the age creep into our
Christmas giving to destroy its tender
significance.
We give beyond our means We are
not content to remember with some
simple and inexpensive gift. SIS this
costly enough ?" is the question, ana no
thought of the thrill of delight the re-
cipient may feel to be thus in your
heart.
How often now do we hear, "Well,
Christmas is nearly hear, and 1 do
dread it, have so many presents to
make that it is n burden beyond my
means to buy them. Yet cannot fail
to remember all my friends and rela-
tives, for they would think me selfish,
and the gifts mustnot be cheap for they
would deem me niggardly."
1t is all wrong, and tendency that
is surely killing the sweetness and ten
derness of the day when heart, mind
and soul should kneel in alteration.
Give within your means. Remember
with something useful. Do not feel
like giving is dnty, for all the beauty
of the deed is destroyed in so doing.
Give because love impels, and with
such motive reason VII sway your
expenditure.
After all it is the spirit in which we
give. If you are right thinking, you
will feel the conscious glow of worthy
act; if the recipient is right thinking,
he or she will not stop to ask the cost,
but will remember only the affection
which lends priceless value to the gift

THE APPEAL.

The success of The Appeal is remarkable.
From a small beginning it has in six
teen years taken it's place at the head of
the procession-The Appeal is the leading
Afro American newspaper published and
has the largest circulation of any paper of
it's class.
More than thirty attempts have been
made to publish Afro-American papers in
Chicago since the advent of The Appeal,
but all have failed. There is but one other
Afro-American paper published regularly
in the city.
The Appeal has succeeded because it is
the peoples paper. 1t is not published in
the interest of any particular clan or clique,
but is the organ of all Afro-Americans.
The Appeal has never claimed to be an
illustrated paper, vet as matter of alb
solute fact, it has every week, for years.,
printed more illustrations than any So
called illustrated Afro-American> paper in
the country.
The Appeal leads all Afro American jour

earn from 30 to 80 cents day. The pick
ing continues all summer. The tea gardens
are picked about once every ten days and
it usually takes two days for the children
now employed to make the round of the
garden. This offer was accepted by every
one of the Afro-American families to which
it was made, and in consequence DR.. Shop
ard is now supplied with competent corps
of tea Dickers, with a reserve Of young
Afro-American girls in the neighborhood
to be drawn from if additional help is
needed. A smart girl can pick about
twenty pounds of tea in a day. DR.. Shop

many parts of the south wherever the eli
mate is not too severe. The experiments
at Summerville have opened a new and
important industry for the Afro-Americans
of the south.

True Mctherhood''-By James G. Fernaid
There is no theme in which the whole world
should be more vitality interested than this
Irue motherhood stands in the very front OF
educational Influences, the sure method Of
Uplifting the race by planting the seeds CT
virtue and checking the tendency to vice that
is sure to follow neglect in the formative stage
ct life. There is nothing in the higher educa-
ton OF woman which in any degree units her
for home life. On the contrary, it should only
develop that larger beauty inherent in woman
nature. It is only when education creates and
arouses ambitions TO: public life, which an
tagonize the home, that it grows into wrong.
But this being only the exception, it makes no
argument against higher education for wom-
en-. Ignorant womanhocd is far from being
true motherhood" in. the best acceptation
O. that term. Our author has large aDpre-
cation OF the grand place woman holds. He
says:
MANS heart and life need just the influ-
ences IN the home which woman alone can
bring. In all else that she can add he will ap-
plaud and aid. But from home he may no:
lose her. The worlds civilization, the mold
IL OF the ages to come, depend on the dis
t1c:ively Womanly qualities OF mind acting
in their highest beauty and perfection in hu-
man hcmes.''
Fer (the womanly home) there is absolute
~ no substitute. Language, which is but the
c1ystallized thought of nations, tells the story.
I1oIie WITHOUT woman is unknown 10 human
speech. The military officer has his quar-
tiers, the sea captain his cabin the herdsman
his RANCH the student or clerk his ROOM or
perhaps, his 'den;' associated men have
clubs, Societies., lodges Woman only has
'home'-and man as associated with her,
He makes a comparison between the work of
true mothers and that of great artists, and
says: "Not all Rosa Benheur's canvas bulls
and horses, ror all Harriet Hosmer's cold
marbles, are equal to enc rudy smiling, COO
ing baby, with just tie right antecedents be-

:'The mother Of q Charlemagne, a Luther,
Cromwell, Gladstone, or a Lincoln was
doing the greatest work there was to do in the
world In her time. If it had been necessary to
train every woman in her generation TO
worthy motherhood in order to train that one
the investment would have been good one"
He makes distinctive difference between
the influence Of men and women, thus: eff
woman is ambitious to work for the future, ia
the home she may lay hold OF it at the very
sources of power. So far as the influence Of

CHICAGO SOUTHTOWN.

The Republican primaries will be held
next Wednesday, and the South Town con-
yention meets Thursday.
1t is important at this time that good,
clean men be nominated. as the voters
will scrutinize each carefully, and one
whose record will not bear the flash of
the search light ought not to receive the
nomination.
For years the South Town Clerkship
has been conceded to the Afro-Ameri-
can voters. A number of the race will
be nominated this time and the conven-
ton should see to it that a clean, honest,
well-qualified man, who will be a. credit to
his race, is named.
If the South Town Republicans make
good nominations victory is assured.

A SOUTH CAROLINA TEA FARM.

DR.. Charles U. Shepard of South Carolina
is doing something practical in the devel-
opment of new industry which gives en-
ployment to many Afro-Americans. 1t is
a tea farm carried on at Pinehurst, Sum-
merville, in that state. 1t was started in
1880 land last year the crop was $500
pounds The average yield Of tea in China
is $50 pounds per acre, but DR.. Shepard
has confidence that his farm will produce
an average of 500 pounds during the pres
ent season. This is done by careful cul-
tivation. The cost of cultivation is about
q cents a pound, the greater part (about
II cents being the pay for picking. Every
leaf has to be plucked separately from the
bush and carefully selected. and to do
this work, DR.. Shepard employs Afro
American children between the ages of 10
and Is. In order to secure reliable corps
of Dickers, he established d school upon
his estate, built comfortable schoolhouse
and engaged a competent teacher. The
Afro American families of the neighborhOOd
were then invited to send their children to
the school, with the understanding that
they would be taught the ordinary
branches. provided they would agree to
spend 4 portion of the day picking tea, for
