August Housekeeper.
The old idea that the world has no place
for the woman who has passed her youth
full days is decrepit. 1.-The woman of to-
day is not the schoolgirl nor the sentimen-
tai young woman of twenty to thirty. The
woman who does the best service in all
lines of life is the one who has fully ma
tured, who is along in years.. as some
would say.
How many women are left widowed

even later. How many who are thus left
are without means of support! A greater
number than many of us think know,
and vet how many do make a success of
life even at that late date, who make a
place and become remunerative wage earn
ers?
"A woman who was widowed at forty,
who even lost her mind from excessive
mental work and was sent TO an asylum,
regained her mental equilibrium and took
up life again and earned a competence as
an agent. This is much better than Civ
ing up and letting some one else support
her. 1t gave her occupation for mind and
body and the free sense of independence
so dear to every American.
Another woman. widowed late in life.
with little at her disposal. opened fash
ionable dressmaking establishment. She
spoke French fiuently, ana to her English
she was able to give a certain French ac-
cent. She made success OF this line of
life and another woman at siXty-seven took
about her last penny and went abroad. There
she spent some happy years conversing in
English in a convent to pupils who needed
such training, and finally wealthy but
not very we'll educated woman engaged her
as companion. She Travelled some years
and at about seventy-three took up the
study of German.

no need OF bringing disaster. Some forms Of
yoke skirts remain, and bands Of shirring
will show in others about the hips. These
will not be restricted to silks, but in such

the real dimensions appreciably. This point
should not be forgotten. Such princess styles

triple fiounce skirts will be numerous, and
personal taste may guide the arrangement
of fiounces and other garnitures. They may
be quite without trimming. If that is de-
sired. and i'm the length of the upper skirt

A deal of outlining is to be done with nov

as enough, so a considerable outlay may be
necessary for this trimming. Contrasts of
color will be effected by, such garniture

she rubs 4 good nail emolllent into the

TO keep ii from getting dry. She annoints
the fingers with a cream which renews the
nails so that they Will not crack.
Then she ruhs a hand oil into the flesh
and pats and spats the hands until all tic
natural oil is restored To them. If her hands
do not look all right, if they begin TO get
out OF sorts, she puts on gloves for night.
and If her hands look very tired, as the
flesh sometimes will. she makes paste or

A THOUGHT FOR THE WEEK.

But what I do mourn over is, that the lamp of
his soul should go out; that no ray of heavenly,
or even of earthly, knowledge should visit him;
but only in the haggard darkness, like two spec
tiers, Fear and Indignation bear him company.
Alas, while the Body stands so broad and brawny,
must the Soul lie blinded, dwarfed, s~tupefed,
almost annihilated! Alas, was this too, a Breath
of God; bestowed in Heaven, but on earth never
to be unfolded!-That there should one Man die
ignorant who had capacity for knowledge, this

twenty times in a minute, as by some computa-
tions it does.-From Carlyle's "Sartor Resartus."

RIvER FREsHETs AND FOREST P~REsERvA-
TON.

The Pacolet River disaster furnishes one of the
strongest arguments yet made for the Appalachian
Park and for forest preservation in general. And
there is nothing mysterious or inexplicable in the
theory that couples reckless numbering with these
destructive river freshets. The wayfaring man,
though q fool, need not err therein.
Everybody knows from observation that if rain
falls on ground covered with leaves and matted
with roots, it soaks slowly into the earth and the
surplus is gradually given off to the brooks and
rivers-so gradually that in the days when virgin
forests covered our hillsides, the pioneers who had
cleared the river bottoms were troubled by no
such disastrous overfows as we have nowadays.
But if the trees have been cut off, leaving the
ground bare, washing occurs; there is no mantle
of dead leaves to hinder rapid drainage. The
storm strikes the bare, bald places, and as there
is nothing to stay the waters, they quickly fill the
streams and a freshet results.
Where the forests have been properly cared for
and the titled fields have been properly cultivated
and drained, a heavy rain means a full river for
several days perhaps. Where reckless numbering
and careless farming obtain, instead of a full
river for several days, the too quick drainage
brings one day of calamitous overflow.
These truths are simple enough, but most people
perversely refuse to learn save in the dear school
of experience, and stricken Spartanburg must
enforce the lesson of the hour. And in this con-
n~ection, the following extract from the Senate
Committees report on the Appalachian Park
measure is worth reprinting:
Among the special reasons for the establish
ment of a national forest reserve in the Southern
Appalachian region, more than elsewhere in the
Eastern States, it may be mentioned that here
we have the greatest variety of hardwood trees
and shrubs and the finest remnants of primeval
hardwood forests found on the continent; the
higest and largest mountains east of the Missis-
sippi: the heaviest rainfall on the continent, ex-
cept the Northern Pacific coast; and consequently
the washing away of the soil of the region can
only be prevented by keeping it covered with
forests. The absence from this region Of lakes
and gravelly soils such as abound in the Northern
States and there serve to store the rains and
give uniformity to the flow of the streams, renders
the perpetuation of this Southern forest abso-
lutely necessary for the protection of both the
soils and the streams"

Apropos of Secretary Parker's suggestive ari
Gle on page II, the following extract from the
Manchester, n. H., Mirror is given:
"The great success of the Grange has been
primarily due to the strong educational policy
that has prevailed Those in charge of its affairs
have regarded the educational feature as the fea-
ture Of the greatest value, and have strengthened
the Order by adding to the intelligence Of its
members. Whether this has been attempted
through well arranged literary exercises, through
the rendition of ritual work or through a course
of study and reading at home under Grange aus
pices, the result has been the same and noticeable
in the people connected with any live Grange"
We should like to have Mr.. Parker's article reao
and discussed in. every sub Alliance or other
farmers club in the State. The meetings must
be made attractive and profitable in themselves
if they are to be we'll attended.

Speaking of the warfare on cattle ticks (page
3 which DR.. Butler is so effectively conducting
mention should be made of the fact that for the
first time Wilkesboro is now available as a market
for the tick-free cattle of Ashe, Allegheny and
Watauga-that is to say, cattle from these coun-
ties may now be driven to Wilkesboro and shipped
just as they may be shipped from stations beyond
the quarantine line. This concession is made
by the government because Wilkes itself is very
nearly free from ticks. Heretofore most Ashe
and Allegheny cattle and many from Watauga
have been sold in Virginia and Tennessee mar
kets, but the new arrangement makes Wilkesboro
the nearest shipping point.
