WOMAN'S WORK
Blessings of Childhood.

John Ruskin, in counting up the
blessings of his childhood, reckoned
these three for first good: Peace.
He had been taught the meaning of
peace in thought, act, and word; had
never heard fathers or mothers
voice once raised in any dispute, nor
seen an angry glance in the eyes of
either, nor had ever seen a moments
trouble or disorder in any household
matter. Next to this he estimated
Obedience; he obeyed a word or lift
ed finger of father or mother as a
ship her helm, without an idea of re-
sistance. And, lastly, Faith; nothing
was ever promised him that was not
given; nothing ever threatened him
that was not inflicted, and nothing
ever told him that was not true.
The progressive farmer. [volume] (Winston, N.C.) 1886-1904, 1903-02-24

It does not have a sunken chest, pro-
truding abdomen and bent knee.
Look at the average woman; if
compelled to stand she shifts uncom-
fortably from one foot to the other;
if compelled to stand for a half
hour, her face takes on a look almost
of haggardness, caused by the weari-
ness she is enduring. The legs be-
come trembly and she wants to sink.
The law of gravity is such that it is
natural for the heavier part to seek
the earth, but the laws of nature are
also such that it is natural for the
vital part or center to furnish the
limbs of our body with sufficient
strength to do our bidding without
excessive fatigue. A weak person,
therefore, cannot be well poised.
Whence comes our strength2 From
the air we breathe, from the food
and drink taken into the stomach,
and from the exercise that we take
to distribute that no~urishment. As
strength is possible only through the
medium of the vital organs, it is i'm
perative that these organs be kept
always in a condition of normal &C
tivity. It is obvious that they must
not be squeezed out of place, neither
must they be allowed to sag and press
one upon another.-Mrs. Helme, in
The Pilgrim for January.

Mrs. Theodore Roosevelt.

Writing of "The Personality of
Mrs. Roosevelt" in the Ladies' Home
Journal, Edward Box asserts that cit
is high time some of our women
should learn that a woman may be
respected and loved for the things
she does not do, as often as she is for
the things she does do. Hundreds
of thousands of men and women re-
spect Mrs. Theodore Roosevelt today
because she has chosen to keep her
personality in the background, and
refused to stand in the glare of pub
licity. She has no place there and
she knows it. By her attitude she
has won a warm place in the affec-
tions of American women, and in
the respect of American men. Yet
she might shine, instead of keeping
in retirement, if she so chose, as
every one who knows her will at once
concede. She has simply chosen to
be a wife, a mother and a woman,
and not a publicist. She has elected
to give the benefit of her talents and
gifts to her husband, her children
and her friends rather than to socie-
ty IN its p~romiscuous sense. She has
her work to do in the world, but she
does not believe that work to be of
a public nature. She is content to
leave that to her husband. She re-
mains in the home, and one need only
to hear Theodore Roosevelt speak of
that home to discern at once how
strong upon him has been the in
nuence which has radiated there
from"

PROF. BLAIR ON SPRAY OUT
FITS.

In his address before the Apple
Growers Congress, at it's first meet
ing in st. Louis, in November last,
Prof. Blair made these sensible
statements in regard to spraying
outfits:
"I would say we must be careful
about the apparatus we use in spray
ing. Just any old pump and any
kind of nozzle will not do. We must
have the best apparatus obtainable,
and must use a pump of great power,
to produce the mist-like spray which
is so necessary. As commercial
growers we must consider the advis-
ability of using more powerful
pumps than many of us have been
using. And, too, we must pay more
attention to getting the mixtures
properly made. These r the de-
tails of spraying to which l would
call especial attention"
This seems to be water on the
wheel of the Field Force Pump Com
pany of Elmira, N. Y. Their spray
ers are noted for their magnificent
power, which, with their excellent
n~ozzles, make the finest, most mist
like spray, covering all sides and
every part of leaf. fruit and flower.
Then their automatic agitators are
to be relied upon absolutely to keep
the mixture thoroughly stirred.
There's no danger of spelling fol-
iage with too much poison and every
part gets its due proportion in the
Field Sprayers, and the automatic
brushes used on their agitators pre-
vents the clogging of the pump or
nozzles.

The Perfect Woman.

1t Is safe to say that not more than
one woman out of five hundred is
able to walk, stand, sit, breathe, or
rest correctly; by correctly I mean
normally, for whatever act is per-
formed normally is always correct.
what IS normal poise9 Normal
p0lse IS natural poise, a poise of
strength and confidence; an erect,
natural carriage of the body over
d strong base or centre. In stand
