, In many of the progressive towns of
! the southwest, much has been done to
4 beautify the respective places by civic
] improvement clubs. In the strenuous
, activity of building up now absorbing
the men, ought to be read an appeal
to the women to beautify their homes
by cultivating grass and ornamental
/ shrubs, and seeing that their back yards
as we'll as the front are cleaned up
There are many homes in Tupelo could
be made a hundred fold more attractive
if the old front yard fences that are
almost falling down would be replaced
by hedges. A hedge is easily raised and
kept and the initial expense of setting
it out is nominal. And when once it
grows, it out lasts many wooden fences
and is less expensive to keep up than
an iron tense. Now that we have water
works thestrouble of watering grass
and shrubs is reduced to a minimum.
Ladies think on these things.

A Step at a Time.

Theodore L. Cuyler.
In accomplishing your days work
you have simply to take one step at q
time. To take that step wisely is sll
that you need to think abnut. If I
am climbing mountain, to look down
may maze me dizzy to look too far up
may make me tired and discouraged
Take no anxious thought for the NOR
row. Sufficient for the day-yes, and
for each hour in the day-is the toll
AMI trial thereof. There is not child
of Go1 in this world who is strong
enough to stand the strain of to-day's
duties and all the load of to-morrow's
anxietles piled upon the top OF them.
Paul himself would have broken down
If he had attempted the experiment.
We have a perfect right to ask our
Heavenly Father for strength equal to
the day but we haye no right to ask
Him tor one extra ounce of strength
for anything beyond 1t. When the
morrow comes grace will come sufil-
c;ent for Its tasks or for its troubles.
s'Let me be strong In word and deed
Just tor to-day!
Lord, for tomorrow and Its need
I must pray"

"You haven't made things look
very neat and orderly here in the back
shop" said a merchant to a young
clerk.
"Well, thought 1t was good enough
for back there, where things cannot be
seen very plainly, and where customer.

"Thas won't do,' said the merchant
sharply and then added in a kinder
tone: You must ge. ideas OF that

hope to succeed In life. That kind OF

And the merchant made the boy
go and do all the cleaning over again.

The Fower Of Little Things.


A curious experiment was witnessed
in gun factory. A great bar OF steel,
weighing five hundred pounds and
eight feet In length, was suspended
vertically by a very delicate chain.
Nearby was also suspended a common
bottle-cork by silk thread. The pur-
pose was to show that the cork could
set the steel bar in motion. 1t seemed
impossible. The cork was swung gent
ly against the steel bar, and the steel
bar remained motionless. But 1t was
done again and again for ten minutes,
and 10 at the end of that time the
bar gave evidence of feeling uncom-
Portable sort OF nervous chill ran
over it. Ten minutes later, and the
chill was followed by vibrations. At
the end of half an hour the great bar
was swinging like the pendulum of a
clock.
No man is mighty enough In hie
own energy of will to feel secure, if he
is exposed to a constantly repeated in
fuence for evil. The constant beating
of raindrop has often worn a hole in
q stone and the constant hearing o.!
low views OF honesty, of virtue, OF
spirituality, though at first offensive
and opposed, has, in the end, taken
away many a mans vigor and sapped
the strength OF many Christian.

Heart disease is durable, but in people of

Cure, which we know from watching hum

SOME MODERN uToP1As.
Fortunate Countries Where People
Ought to b Very Good.

Golden Penny.
Denmark claims that there 10 not q
single person in her domain who can
not read and write. On the northeast
coast OF New Guinea, the Island OF
Kutaba, surrounded by a wall of coral
300 feet high ON one eide and from so
to 100 feet on the other, maintains
thirteen villages of natives, to whom
war, crime and poverty have been un-
known since thu f'eginning OF their
traditions. The most peaceful and
comfortable community In Europe IS
the commune Of the Canton Vsud, IN
Switzerland. Nearly every ono is we'll
of, and there are no paupers. Finland
is realm whose inhabitants are re-
markable for their invioIate integrity.
There are no banks and no safe depos-
It's, tor no such security is essential.
You may leave your luggage anywhere
for any length of time and be quite
sure Of finding it untouched on your
return, and your purse full OF money
would be just as secure under similar
circumstances. The Fins place their
money and yaluables in the ground
and cover them with big Leaf. Such
a treasure IL sacredly respected by all
who pass 1t, but, in the rare event of 4
man Wishing to- borrow OF his neighbor
during his absence, he will take only
tho smallest sum he requires, and
place a message In the, hole telling OF
bis urgent need and promising to re-
pay tho sum on a specified date. And
he will invariably keep his word, for
the Fin ia lnvlnclble in his independ-
ence.
Agneta Park, near DEALT, in Hol-
land, Is another Utoplan example. A
tract of ten acres has upon it $50
houses, each with its little garden and
with certain common buildings and
common grounds. The houses are oc-
cupied by the employees OF great dis
tilliDg company, who iorm q corpora
ton which owns the park. Each men,
Der owns shares in the corporation and
pays rent for his house. The surplus,
after all expenses have been paid ,comes
to him as dividend. IT he wishes to
go away, or If he dies, his shares are
bought up by the corporation and .old
to tho man who takes his place.

Health in Bible Times.
The Treasury.

The Treasury.
Have you ever noticed that the
grand men and women OF the Bible
were'men and women of robust health
They were largely people Of outdoor
life. 1t Is refreshing to fellowship
with them. They act as tonic. Their
vigorous health is contagious. Debo-
rah could lead armies. Rachel and
Rebecca could take care of locks. Alb
igail could run a farm. The daugh-
ters of Shalum could build a stone
wall. Abraham could walk from Ur Of
the Chaldees to Canaan aud from Ca
naan to Egypt and back again. Moses,
fresh from the outdoor life of Horeb,
could attend to tho details of a whole
nation, and could climb Sinai and Pls-
gah. At the age of one hundred and
twenty "his eye was not dim, nor his
natural force abated." Samuel could
hew Agag in pieces, aud Elijah was
more than a match for four hundred
and fifty of the over-fed prophets of
Baal.
The Master was carpenter and
could build houses. John, the disci.
pie of love, could handle a ship and
bring 1t through a storm as readily as
he could handle the pen and give the
world an apocalypse.
BY guarding the health OF the chill
dren we can give the coming age
strong men and women.

SCOTLAND NECK. N. c. THURSDAY, 12,
History-Making Patriots.

Youths Companion.
Summer and winter there flourishes
in Boston City History Club having
several branches. It was modelled upon
a successful club of the same character
in New York City. In summer, when
the work is at its best, the instructor
meets every day different group of
boys, ten, perhaps, lads who were born
abroad or are the children of aliens.
For an hour he talks to them about
the Common or Faneuil Kall or the
Old South Church, or some other place
or building. and then they visit the
place and locate the historic land
marks. Every boy keeps q notebook
and records IN his own words the
things he learns.
During the season each group hears
fifteen anch lectures, and after each
one makes an excursion. It seldom
happens that a boy misses a meeting,
AID tho effort the boys make to do
their part lie shown by the thorough
ness with which they keep up their
notebooks. At tho end of the season
they probly know more than the aver
age citizen does about the mon and
events that have made Boston famous,
probably their sense OF civic pride IL
greater than his.
Early in the course the boys grasp
the great truth that. as the things
done in the past profoundly influence
thesenation Of to-day, so the republic
OF the future will be what they help to
make 1t. At their age they are learn
ing for life, and tt at which they learn
tends to build up high ideal of duty.
In almost any city there is material
for local history clubs to work upon
LANDMARKS OF national progress, and
young people who should be made ia
mlllar with them. Intelligent pride
in ones own city and State is the be-
ginning of patriotism nor need any
avis follow in its train II it is intel
ligent 1t can never foster sectional pref
1dice. If 1t is cultivated in all classes
it will leave no room for lntolerant
feeling toward any race or sect that is
willing to wear the name "American."
