Ihe expression, che coDtends. is the result of her own imagination. and she claims that she was inspired for the work. The work Is 10 by feet in. size. It is woriyed with silk. the colors of which were made fast before they were woven into the imagesf of the picture. The background over which the silk is worked Is linen. Owing to the fact that the colors are fast" and also the fact that the picture has been worked on linen which is not attacked by moths or other insects. Mrs. Rip berger claims the Madonna which she has embroidered will be as durable as the original painting itself.
 THE SOUTH AND sCH0LARsHIP.
 Churchill Eastin has the following to say. in The Nashville American, cons corning Southern education.
 From the publication of books like that of Professor Woodberry's. In which he labors to depreciate the sense and Of the Old South, 1t is obs vious that her descendants, if sent to influences, will infallibly. where possi- ble, be indoctrinated at the most ini- pressible period of youth with the no-. ton that their fathers were a very in- ferfor order of persons and that their memories deserve but little reverence at the hands of the New South.
 These prejudices where imbibed. whilst they cannot avail to make true that which is false. will inevitably for back to any Southerner educated in the North. It will often take hfin years to correct the errors instilled into his mind during which he will have lost more than one opportunity of henefiting himself and his section.
 we suggest the following as one rsmedys Let the Southerners of wealth send their boys across the water to such universities as Oxford. Cambridge. London. Dublin or any other good Flu ropean university. where the mind is not imhued with infdel principles.
 The European universities are the real ones and the South should under stand this for her own good. The East ern colleges can never reach the pres tige of the greatest European institu- tions of learning, for the lack of age and facilities. Prejudiced writers of the Nerth--perhaps Professor Wood them hardly be considered sophomores by the great scholars of Europe. South erners of means, then. seem certainly derelict in duty to their children when they evince c desire to become real scholars, if for any reason not impera- tive. these children are not given the best of opportunities. With tbe South's permission. then. allow us, please. to say to 1t respectfully; Tn your ahund- ance, ever increasing more and moro each day, give your child the best and send him across the water to be eduoat- ed in land where. along with first. class opportunities. he will not labor under the disadvantage and annoyance of being compelled to listen every day to uncalled for lectures on the intellec- tual inferiority of his ancestors"
 FEEDING AN EMPEROR.
 It is g subject of congratulation to our servant problem housekeepers that they do not have the full measure of domestic troubles. They have no em- peror to feed. The following Ia given of the enormity of such a task:
 Feeding the German Emperor is no light task. Despite all that is said about the Kaiser's Spartan habits. there are few monarchs who keep more
 He has no less than four chefs, schiiedenstucker. German; Harding. an Englishman; an Italian and . Frenchman--so that he can have his meals for the day served in the style of whatever nation he may happen to fancy.
 Each of these chefs has his stan of assistants; while, in addition. there is an individual who may safely be de- scribed as "sausase maker to the kal" ser."
 His majesty is very fond of the huge white frankfurter sausage, and has a supply of them made fresh every day in his own kitchen. When engaged in maneuvering his army on a big field day these frankfurters and bread wash ed down with lager beer invariably. form the Kaiser's lunch.
 In addition to all these cooks there is a special stan to prepare meals for the younger of the princes and the prin- cess who are not allowed to partake of the rich dishes the elder members of the family indulge in.
 HONEYM0ONS IN OKLAHOMA.
 The honeymoon, as the term usually implies" says The Enterprise of Mu- tual, 'is about as scarce in this section as snowballs in August. We do not mean to convey that our people never get married. for weddings are getting of such common occurrence that the boys forget to serenade the contracting party any longer. When one of our young couples get married they do not spend a month honeymooning. like 1t is the custom in the East, but they settle down to the routine of life with the one harmonious purpose of building up a comfortable and happy home Instead of 'spooning' around over the country, attracting the attention of everybody, looking sIckenIngly lovable and calling each other all kinds of sweet little 'chestnuts.' the newly married may be found at work the next day following the nuptials. It may be the bride will put out big washing. while the other half will be found blowing corn and carrying water simultaneously. And this Is not result of lack of respect for the nuptial relationship, but the opposite. The average benedict here Is highly respectful of his marriage re- IatIon. No one is moro cautious to rec ognize the rights and wishes of his wife than he. Always upon leaving the house he takes the precaution to Kiss her Koodby, under penalty of turning prematurely bald. or inviting some other calamity equally as undesirable. This Is evidence of his devotion. but the wife Is no less attentive and on the whole few of our married couples have ever found 1t necessary to dissolve partnership. But the period known as the honeymoon has dropped out. It is a dead letter in this part of Oklahoma. and some of us older folk are mighty glad of it."
