button-hole the circles with a dainty
colored floss. Plate mats may also
be made of blotting-paper, though it
is more expensive than the flannel.
Another bit of needlework that a
little maid can make is a case, made
of brown or gray linen like a large
envelope that will be eight inches
wide by ten or twelve inches long
when finished, into which rubbers
may be put when travelling. An IN
itial or monogram on the flap, which
is bound in satin ribbon or button-
holed, is the only decoration needed,
though the word "rubbers" can be
traced On in outline if preferred. The
little old-fashioned girl can be sure
her knitted wash cloths will be ac-
ceptable. These are made square
with forty or fifty stitches and knit
very loosely with coarse wooden or
bone needles, No. 5 being a good size.
Individual laundry bags are so much
in favor now for holding soiled hand
kerchiefs, collars and hose that a
fresh one is always welcome. Some
of the newer ones are made of scrim
and have a border across the bottom
in the popular cross-stitched work,
Persian colors being used in the floss.

the ends fastened with bows of baby
ribbon. A favorite size is twenty
inches long with the tube two inches
in diameter.
One of the easiest gifts for a small
maid to prepare for a schoolgirl
friend is a pair of carriers made with
a wide strap of fancy elastic tape,
and ribbon to tie in a jaunty bow,
either of harmonizing or the same
color. Such a garter will hold secure
ly if the second loop is put twice
through the knot when the bow is
tied. One-third of a yard of elastic
with two yards of ribbon will be suf-
fcient for one pair of carriers. A
set of a dozen or two plate mats is
always acceptable to the house-keeper

Ten Commandments of Hygiene

1. Rise early, retire early, and I'll
your day with work.
q. Water and bread maintain life;
pure air and sunshine are indispen-
sable to health.
3. Frugality and sobriety form the
best elixir of longevity.
4. Cleanliness prevents rust; the
best cared for machines last the
longest.
5. Enough sleep repairs waste and
strengthens: too much sleep softens
and ~enfeebles.
6. To be sensibly dressed is to give
freedom to ones movements and
enough warmth to be protected from
sudden changes of temperature.
Z. A clean and cheerful house
makes a happy home.
8. The mind is refreshed and In
vigorated by distractions and amuse-
ment; but abuse of them leads to dis
sipation and dissipation to vice.
8. C~heerfulness makes love of life,
and loye of life is half of health. On
the contrary, sadness and discourage
ment hasten old age.
10. Do you gain your living by
your intellect? Then do not allow
your arms and legs to grow stiff. Do
you earn your bread by your pick
axe? Do not forget to cultivate your
mind and to enlarge your thought

"vile and slandering Tongues"

In a brief newspaper paragraph
published a few weeks ago the world
read the last chapter in a pitiful
tragedy. The commission appointed
to investigate the rumors and
charges against the character of
Gen. Sir Hector Macdonald of the
British army, who, when the charges
were made public, took his own life,
reported unanimously that not a
shred of evidence of any crime or
other moral obliquity could be found.
Sir Hector Macdonald was, next to
Lord Roberts, the English military
idol. He rose to his high position by
his own efforts. At the start he had
no advantages of birth or wealth or
influential friends. He made his way
by proving his worth. His nickname
of Fighting Mac" was both a term
of endearment and a popular honor.
His whole life was given to. his coun-
try, and his services were great.
This must be kept in mind to un-
derstand the weight of the words of
the commissioners eve find the late
Sir Hector Macdonald had been
cruelty a~ssassinated by vile and SLAM
dering tongues"
Other cases of the ruin wrought by
vile and slandering tongues" are
lot far to seek. Lord P~auncefote,
late British ambassador to the United
States, was, in the opinion of many
persons, murdered by those who lied
about his diplomatic actions at the
beginning of the Standardization
War. Our own Fitz-John Porter, al
though the sunset of his days was
clear, yet suffered a terrible injustice
for years.

THE BEST is YET TO BE.
AS a final word we are glad to note
the present poetic revival in North
Carolina. 1t is safe to say that more
chaste and elegant verse is now ap-
pearing than at any period hitherto
in our history. Professors Stockard
and Sledd are just in the prime of
their manhood, both located in con
genial chairs of literature, and both
widely recognized as poets of real
ability; and from them we may ex-
pect even sweeter notes than those
already sung. A constellation of
younger poets has arisen and is al
ready Frightening our literary sky.
For example, John Charles Mcneil
has been lately appearing in the
Century and other prominent periodi-
Gals. The pen of Leonard Charles
Won Noppen is also rich with prom
ise. The same may be said of Miss
Sue M. Whitaker, whose poem on
"Finis" is sucient to entitle her to
distinction. Misses Dickson and
Armfeld have each in dainty volumes
given us the earliest buds of their
poetic genius, which promise still
richer fragrance in the coming days.
Others also are striking melodies
from their Tyres; after awhile we may
listen for a chorus of undiscordant
song.
The educational revival in the md1-
titude of its blessings is sure to
strengthen and spread the wings of
poetic fancy; our lofty souls will bet
ter learn the what and how of the
poetic art. The easier industrial con-
ditions will permit them time to
feel deeply and express nobly. The
day of keener criticism and more dis
eliminating appreciation is quite at
and with it a stronger stimulus
to the production of purer, sweeter
verse.

BENJAMIN E. sLEpp.

native of Virginia, has produced his
poetry on North Carolina soil where
he married and where the main part
of his professional life has thus far
been spent. Two interesting volumes
have lately come from his pen. "From
Cliff and Scaur" appeared in 1897
from the presses of the Putnams,
New York and London. Reviewing
the volume in the Biblical Recorder,
Editor J. W. Bailey said: ellis lines
are marble-like in finish, in refine
ment, and in purity. Whether he
plays upon some soulful instrument
or draws the picture in the minds
eye or touches the silvery strings of
the Tyre of love or sends forth to
God a prayer from life's deeps, there
is ever that same genuineness, refine
ment, delicacy, and simplicity which
mark the artist" Mr.. Sledd's Sec

indicates, it centres around the fire.
side with it's child-treasures, though
there is a genuine sympathy with Ia
ture, a few touches of national in
t~erest, and poems reminiscent. By
competent critics this second volume
is regarded as registering a distant
advance upon the first "as regards
both workmanship and outlook upon
life Reviewing it In the News and
Observer, Prof. W. L. Poteat says:
I'm the dainty volume before us a
genuine poet heart finds ~utterance.
These poems are not echoes, but the
unconstrained and free outpourings
of a s~ingularly delicate and tender
soul which sings its own song and not
another's, and sings truly because it
has lived deeply" Another reviewer
says: Zone is invariably impressed
with two qualities in Prof. Sledd's
poems: the crystal purity of their
form, perfect TO the last word and
note, and the utter genuineness of
his sentiments"
HENRY JEROME sTOCKARD.
Henry Jerome Stockard is a ma
tive of Alamance County and has
given his life to the cause of culture.
As educator he has held important
positions at Graham, Chapel Hill,
Monroe, Fredericksburg, Va, and
now at Raleigh. For years he has
been writing verse for such maya
zines as Harper's, Kate Fields Wash
mgton, Ladies' Home Journal, and
the Sunday-School Times. He has
also been represented in collections
OF poetry, North and South; "Select
Poetry of North Carolina" for ex-
ample, having more poems from his
pen than from any other writer. In
1897 his Fugitive Lines" appeared,
the Putnams being the publishers.

his verse. The Washington Post
