But. Of course. there is reverse side
to this picture, and the Mirror hastens
to draw it: But there is a reverse side
to this picture; and we see it when the
girl has left her throne of girlhood aud
stepped down into the hustling throng
of women. The bright activity of mind
grows into restlessness; her social in.
stincts lead her to become gregarious
to excess; and she focks to the count
less women's clubs that overrun Amer
lea to such an extent that it would
seem as if an American woman cannot
cook dinner, rear a child or read a
book unless she joins a society to help
her do it!
And yet the amazing fact remains
that from the nervous, club-rushed
American mother the spoilt, precocious
child is born, who shoots up into her
heritage of royalty and becomes again
the American girl"

takes their respect and homage for

,en Worker. on the Farm.

Women Workers on the Farm.
In an Agricultural Department bulle-
tin, the total number Of agricultural
laborers in the United States is placed
at 4,41O,91O, of whom 2366,149 are
members of the family; that is. "sons
and daughters who help to work the
old homestead" and 2.O44, 761 are hired
laborers.
A surprisingly large number Of wom-
en- are classed as hired farm help. The
total number is 220,O48 Naturally, the
greater number of these are in the
south, where the negro women are an
important factor in the gathering OF
cotton, corn and other crops. There
were Al, ,O55 women classed as farm
laborers. members Of the family"
also found in the south, where negro
women taking an active part in the
work in the field is an ordinary sight.
South Carolina leads in the number
of women hired laborers, with 1851
and Alabama is next, with 34,OS3.
Then come Georgia, with 3O,S65; Mis-
sissippi, with 3O,134; Louisiana. with
$500, and North Carolina, with 20
4ul. Virginia has 5,382 of these women
and Maryland has 485.
Mississippi leads all the States in
/ female farm laborers, members of the
family" with a total of 1859. Then
follow Alabama, with 74,315; South
Carolina, with 65,S69; Georgia, with
1886, and North Carolina, with 37.-
400. Virginia has 4,841, and Maryland
BS7.
Farm wages have almost uniformly
shown an upward tendency since 1899,
and, in many States, they are now
higher than they have been since the
, civil war. The average farm wages
for the entire country for 1902, as far
as could be learned, were $22.14 per
month, without board, as opposed to
s2O23 in 1899. The highest monthly
wages, with board, were paid in
Nevada, $34.14; Montana, $32; Wyom-
Ing, '$31. .21; Idaho. $29.79; Utah, $29.45;
California, $29.38. The poorest month
ly wages, with board, were paid in
South Carolina, 1924; Georgia, $3.50;
North Carolina, $961. Maryland's
average, with board, was $12.67 per
month, and Virginia's $11.29.
The highest wages per day in har-
vest season, the employer furnishing
the board, were paid in North Dakota,
$2.1S. The only other States that
averaged more than 81 per day were:
South Dakota, $2.OS; Minnesota, $2.O4,
and Washington, $2O1. Virginia. g
average pay at harvest time was 81
per day, and Maryland's $1.14.

and she has the entire supervision Of
them. This means that she has a crew
on each vessel, and as each crew con-
tains twenty-six men, and as Mrs.
Lachmund closely watches the machin-
cry of her possessions to see that no
! defects exist and buys all the stew
ards supplies, her life is an especially
busy one.
What is more, it is also successful
one financially. The unusual undertak-
ing of this feminine boat owner aver
ages the towing of from 35,OOO,OOO to
&c, 100000 feet of lumber in season,
which consists of the six months from
April to November, and this makes
splendid income for the woman who
has entered this strange business.
NagRing.
DR.. Edison advances the theory that
of nagging "Perfect health" he says,
'has, as one Of it's factors, content Of
mind. A nervous man or woman who
is anxious, discontented, gloomy, dis
satisfied, worried from any cause, can
not enjoy good health. This mental
turmoil produces as one Of its primary
effects on the body an inability to di-
gest food properly. The blood which
should supply the force necessary for
the function of digestion is continually
drawn away from the stomach by ex-
citement in the brain, and the woman
who nags suffers. While there be
those whose tendency to lay on fat is
SO great that nothing will stop it.
nagging man or woman is generally
thin. Their habit of mind has par
tally starved their bodies.-The Home.

Health and. Beauty.


Those who suffer from rheumatism
need a plentiful allowance of the acids
furnished by many kinds of fruit. For
these people especially apples are in
valuable.
In replenishing the sick room fire
put the coal in paper bags or cone
made out Of newspaper and lay on the
fire. This avoids the noise that dis,
tresses a nervous patient.
A refreshing drink to use in fever
cases may be made from dried peaches
or apricots. Thoroughly wash one
half pound of the fruit, taking it piece
by piece between the thumb and fore
finger. Soak over night in one quart
Of water. In the morning simmer for
half an hour, strain and chill.
If one has to feed a delirious person
tap on the lips two or three times and
they will automatically open. Fill the
spoon and pass in well over the ton
que, SO that it will go directly into the
gullet. In feeding patient take pains
to keep the bed clothing dry and never
allow crumbs to get in the bed.
It is true If you lie on a hard bed
without a pillow you will find a great
improvement in your figure. If one
thinks of the place and position in
which one spends third of every
twenty -four hours she will realize it
must have some effect upon the figure.
So, women with round shoulders and
double chins, here is way to mend
these ills if you are willing to give up
your downy couch.

Drink Milk.

Fashions come and go, so it is only
natural that just as Anglo-Saxon wonl-
en- are being accused Of an undue devo-
ton to liqueurs. French women should
be enthusing over the benefits Of milk
as beverage. The Parisienne has of
late discovered in milk a sure beauti-
fer. slipped hot, she is testing its
merits as pick-me-up. Drunk in its
first warm stage directly it has been
brought into the dairy, she finds it a
rejuvenator of her charms, freshening
the complexion and acting as sure
eradicator of those signs Of worry
and fatigue that age the face so
quickly.
The custom of milk drinking is an
old one. The benefits it produces never
stale. A glass of hot milk slipped
slowly at night, just after retiring,
will secure refreshing sleep and feel
ing of alertness in the morning, and
during the day fits of sudden, intense
WEAKNESS Of body and depression of
mind will be dispersed if milk, as hot
as it can be borne by the mouth, be
slowly slipped.
Many women who cannot drink pure
milk are able to imbibe sufficient
quantity to work good effects if they
mix it with plain water or soda water,
and thin, emaciated women are re-
commended to drink cream in small
quantities, as well as to take as much
hot milk as will agree with them. II
should never be forgotten either that
milk baths for the face are splendid
cuticle beautifiers, softening the skin
and bringing back to it the fresh rosy
unts of youth. th.-Philadelphia Inquirer.

ABOUT SEED CORN.
A Few Important Suggestions About
Testing Seed Corn.

0000VONAVAAD
Testing Seed Corn.
The Rockwell City Republican pub
fishes the following concerning the Inn
portaut matter In regard 10 seed corn:
Seed corn should never be planted
till it has been tested 10 And what per
cent will terminate. This is very
necessary this year because the corn
was slow in drying out 'ass fall and ex-
tremely cold weather came unusually
early.
There are Indications that there will
be an unusual amount Of difficulty in q
good stand this year. The safe thing
to do is to test the seed early and have
plenty OF time to get better seed if oc-
casicn demands.
A convenient way to test corn is to
place it between sheets Of paper or
cloth kept moist and put In box Of
suitable size. Several lots may thus
be tested at one time and examined
much more easily and quickly than
when planted in sand. Simply keep
the pap. r moist and in place where
the temperature does not fall below S.
degrees. It should all terminate in
from four to eight days. depending on
the sort Of corn weather furnished.
Handled In this way IL 10 possible
to examine it daily and note the pro-
gress Of termination.
There are different degrees Of vital
ity in corn that will terminate. Many
of the weak. spindllng stalks which
produce email nubbin, or nothing at
all spring from seed Of barely enough
vitality to get the plant above the
ground. Seed that will grow fairly
we'll when the conditions are favorable
at seeding time will rot IL cold damp
weather happens to prevail.
II possible use only such seed Is has
large bright looking germs. Wrinkled
and dull colored germs have likely
been injured by frost. This. shrunken
kernels having sharp pointed tips
should be rejected, % we'll as those
having an excess Of sofs, white starch
at either the crown or the tip. Plump
ness at the tip, is very good evidence
of vitality. Farmers should provide
themselves with the very best seed OBJ
tainable.
