 Matilda left the village behind her and plunged Into a near wood She flung her self full length on the ground and lay there motionless. Life had brought her nothing of what she had dreamed. There was flash of moving color and burst of song In the silent wood; be- low. the river roared and tumbied In it's eager seaward rush. June lay on the wide. wonderful mountains--June. with its glory of color. its abundant young life: and the June time which lives in the souls of unwed women was in Ma tiida. The June time!

SHE SAVED GEoRaIA's
 GREAT SEAT,

Of Mrs. M. A. Barnett who died in Atlanta a few weeks ago The Atlanta Constitutions says:
 It was Mrs. Barnett. who, by a clever move. saved the great seal of the State of Georgia from destruction at the hands of Eherman's army. MT. Barnett was, at that time. Secretary of State. The capital was located in Milledgeviile, and when it was learned that Sherman's army was approaching on It's march to the sea, Mrs. Barnett went into the Sec rotary of States office in an effort to save some of it's effects.
 She picked up a number of papers and articles she considered most valuable. placed them in a box and buried the box in 6 corner of hog sty on her place. In the box was the great seal of Georgia, and it remained safe from the soldiers of the North. That same seal is now in use in the ofice of the Secretary of State.
 Just at the close of the war Governor Charles J. Jenkins saved the executive seal by taking 1t to Canada. It has been thought by some that Governor Jenkins saved the great seal, but instead fl was the executive seal
 Mrs. Barnett was the widow of the late N. C. Barnett, who for many years and during several administrations held the position of Secretary of State of Georgia. Mir. Barnett also figured conspicuousIy in the history of Georgia during the re- construction period following the Civil War.
 In 1865 the United States Government ejected from office Governor Jenkins and all of the State House officers, including Mr. Barnett, and substituted a provis-

Dangerous Flannelette.

London Globe.
 It Is a safe presumption that a con siderable percentage of the 400 and odd children who lost their lives last year through their clothes catching fire at un- guarded f1replaces, owed their deaths largely to their wearing fiannelete. This fabric-a very useful one in Its way looks so much like flannel that many parents naturally assume the same de- gree of infiammability.
 This Is misconception. Flannel is extremely dificult to ignite accidentally. while even then it does not burst into flame. but merely smoulders. Flanneiette on the contrary. lights up very quickly, and the wearer finds himself enveloped in fierce flames in an instant. It is the slightest contact with any burning sub stance instantly sets 1t blazing and the flames spread over the whole surface in a few seconds. A correspondent of a Lancashire paper who lately blazed up In this manner through Intentionally ap- preaching too close to the grate declares that he could not have believed that any cotton fabric possessed such a high de- gree of infiammability. Fortunately he did not lose his presence of mind and by rolling on the floor the flames were extinguished without any harm resulting except to the garment. But had the ac- cident befallen young child 1t would have run about screaming for rescue. and before that arrived must have been badly burned. AS these casualties have become of frequent occurrence since fiannelette came into vogue, its vendors should eau ton purchasers about its liability to in- stantaneous ignition.

British sanitary inspectors have just made the discovery that in the matter of hygienic regulations they are far behind the United States. Their attention has been forcibiy called to this by the wide ly different conditions under which the poorer classes of England and this coun- try exist.
 America for years has enacted laws which compel all planters to remove old wall paper before hanging the new. No such regulation exists on the British Isles, and where the tenant Is so poor that his protest carries no weight. the new wall paper Is invariably placed over the old.
 The greatest danger to be apprehended from this comes from a gas. deleterlous to health, which is generated from old and decayed paste and size. dirt and smoke. Possibly patients inflicted with contagious diseases have occupied some of these rooms and the fact that instead of being disinfected or removed the wall paper is still there, although hidden from sight beneath one -or two more layers, may account for many outbreaks of contagious diseases the origin of which had appeared a mystery to the British health officials

First Idea of House.
's Home CompanIon.

Woman's Home Companion.
 The first impression house gives is usually the lasting one. For this reason the hall. the front doors, vestibule. steps, and piazza. if there is one, should always be scrupulously neat and clean. No mat ter how plain and uhpretentious they may be. their appearance will give the key to the housekeeping. As early as possible each morning they must be swept, dusted and put in perfect order. If the floor of the hall is carpeted a good brushing with dustpan and small, short-handled broom is all that will be required. If there are rugs and hard wood or tiled floors. the rugs should be brushed. and with covered broom the uncovered part of the floor should be dusted. Once a wek the rugs should be taken up and shaken and the floors carefully swept. then polished or wiped with clean, warm water. Windows should be well cleaned. curtains shaken and brushed, and all metal highly polished.

wafaes as They Should Be.

The average waffle served in the North is brown. tender and palatAble. but has not the crispness considered essential by a good Southern cook. The following has just been begged from the right source. and if followed to the letter gives most delicious results: Cream the yolks of two eggs. then stir in two teaspoonfuls of cold boiled hominy. two teaspoonfuls of butter and a small one of salt. Sift two scant cups Of flour into the above. with two teaspoonfus of baking powder, and have ready two teacupfuls of milk. to mix all to a smooth batter. Add the stifiiy.beatten whites at the last. Do not wet the four until the irons are ereased and getting hot. for unless these are sizzling" hot when used all will be ruined. The honiny should be smooth and well-boiled.

COLLEGE EDUCATION

 A college education Is not so serious a thing as 1t used to be. Girls are going to college younger and younger until some pessimisfs fear that they will get to the bib and apron stage if thesoackward movement goes on. Girls are less terri biy in earnest than they used to be when an A. B. meant gibes and criticism and a stubborn resistance to get any learning as a class are getting more at- xractive as social beings.

WOMEN AS TRAVELLERS.

Woman's Home Companion.
 Just a last word about certain court esies and bits of thoughtfulness such as the well-bred gentlewoman should al- ways show to fellow travellers. This is particularly in regard to the use of the dressing room. Only one can use this at time, as 1t is so small; and yet some women occupy it a most unreasonable length of time, acting as though they had secured the exclusive right to it's occupancy, instead of the privilege of a partial use which they must share with others. The strain of a long Journey comes when one waits, in company with several other impatient ones, for some other women safely locked in tho dress ing room to complete 6 most elaborate toilet Many women in travelling rise very early to have the toilet room to themselves without inconveniencing any one else. But whether rising early or late. the perfectly bred woman makes her toilet as rapidly as possible. that others may not be unnecessarily de- layed. They have equal right to the room.
 In everything else. as in this, one should be considerate and polite alike to train officials and to ones fellow travel CTS. Then one wins the right to be re- garded as good traveller, as well as q gentiewoman in the best sense of the word.

What Causes Hunger.
Popular Science.

Popular Science.
 The sensation of hunger has'not been easy to explain. The new theory of a German physician Is that it Is due to the emptiness of the blood vessels of the stomach, and 1t is pointed out that hum ger is appeased with the rush of blood to the stomach following the taking of food and beginning of digestion. In many anemic patients. who have no ap- petite when the stomach Is empty. the blood vessels of the stomach are really congested instead of being empty. Lack of blood in the stomach. in health. acts on a special nerve. which Is a branch of the same nerve trunk as the nerves of the mouth and tongue. A stimulus ap-
