HouseWork as Recreation.

How many women look upon housework as a
recreation and pleasure? In the May Deineator
Dr. W. r. @. Latson upholds this contention, with
some reason on the principle, "Whatever is done
as if it were hardship becomes such, whatever
is done artistically, on the other hand is de-
light" adding, "When housework is regarded as
a means of training instead of as toilsome
routine, then each trivial act becomes full of in
terest and is done easily quickly and in truth ar
"strong, handsome active and intelligent who dur
ing few years of housework have become bent
and rigid, sallow and wrinkled, ugly and hopeless

cases where, through the proper of house,

How to Be Well and Stay Well.

Messrs. Editors In the dawn of the present
century vast problems present themselves tor So
luton. Scientific investigation is being pressed
along every line of thought. Some OF the recent
discoveries are not only marvellous. but appear
miraculous The wonderful powers of the mind
and other invisible forces being recognized
as never before. The vast ocean of mystery re-
ferred to by Sir Isaac Newton is now being navl-
gated and explored by hundreds OF scientists too
numerous to mention.
Other problems are awaiting solution Various
methods of treating diseases are now Eractlced
and taught; but the more important problem, and
the one in which all are deeply interested IS,
''How to be we'll and keep we'll.
1t is strange how few realize the value OF
health The insatiate desire for wealth over
shadows everything else. Men, with eyes hxed
upon the dollar-mark, rush with head-long speed
toward the goal violating Natures laws at every
bound; sacrificing health and, too often, justice,
honor and even life, upon the altar of Mammon.
''What shall it profit man if he should gain the
whole world and lose his soul?'
But | must return to my subject Why so
much pain and suffering? A benefcient Creator
has made ample provision for our happiness and
welfare. He has given air, water, and variety
and abundance of food to sustain our physical
bodies These the essentials of life. LII we
add sleep and exercise, little else is necessary to
preserve health and prolong life. 1t is the i'm
proper use and abuse of these lifeessentials that
causes all our troubles.
Few people breathe correctly. The Importance
lost sight of in the mad rush for the dollar
mark. At night when the business man might fill
his lungs with this invisible life giving and life
sustaining force. he closes doors and windows
against DR.. Ozone, his best friend No wonder he
feels bad when morning comes.
Pure water-what blessing! One writer says:
"It should be used externally, internally and
eternally." Water is of more value as a remedial
agent than many drug stores
Now. dear readers, how many of you fail to eat
properly? If you eat irregularly. too fast, half

Rose Mildew: How to Prevent It.
Frank L. Stanton.

Messrs Editors The abundance of inquiries
concerning the rose mildew, and how to treat It,
leads me to publish in your columns brief de-
scription of the disease and effective method
of combating it. The powdery mildew, as the
disease is known is particularly abundant at this
Z season of the year owing to the succulent condl-
ton of the young leaves and stems. The name
powdery mildew is applied to this disease because
of the white powder appearing upon the leaves
and stems. This powder examined under NIL
croscope is seen to consist of Whitish branching
threads, and great abundance of round bodies
the spores-which serve organs of reproduction
similar to seeds for the purpose of spreading the
r.iidev. This midew is fungus, kind OF
plant; it is alive and grows; and 1T sucks Its
u,ur.e 1ment from the rose leaves and stems and
thereby weakens and destroys them. If you will
watch diseased spot day by day you will see that
Do slowly enlarges in every direction. IF You take
some # the white powder from a diseased spot
and Lace it upon healthy leaf, you will fnd

lion of the disease from leaf 90 leaf and
from plant to plant occurs wifi great raridity un
der favorable climatic buttons, and your
Iavorite bush may become unsightly dis

Treatment.-This disease may be very success
fully and simply treated. The treatment depends
upon the knowledge that the disease is caused by
living organism. By spraying upon the
face of the leaf some chemical which will kill this
organism without iniuring the leaf the disease is
cured A substance which will accomnlish this re-
suit with perfect success is potassium sulphide,
commonly known as liver of sulphur. You can
purchase the potassium sulphide of any druggist.
The w. III. King Drug Comnany in Raleigh have
quoted a price of 20 cents per pound upon this
chemical.
To apply it to your bush, make solution of
one ounce of potassium sulnhide to two gallons
of water. Then apply to your bush thoroughly
with some form of spray pump. 1t will be neces-
sary to use the spray pump since the srrinkling
can or any method inferior to the spray pump
will not apply the liquid with thoroughness
enough to assure its reaching every sDore of the

The Songs of the Four Winds.

The Booklover's Magazine for April CONTAINED
a poem of unusual flavor by. Edwin Warren

contributed to magazines in the past and bo
work carries with it rare freshness that goes

South Stealing sweets from rose and cereus"
This is Mr.. Guyold's offering:
The South Wind.
Gently stirring fern and palm-tree
Softly, slow;
Stealing sweets from and cereus
Whisn'ring low;
Through world of fragrant wildness,
To the old North bringing mildness,
With the breath of spice and orchid
Do / blow
The East Wind.
Damp and raw from the world of waves
Through canvas and rigging madly beat;
With the stringing tang of the oceans salt
| lash the crews of the fving fleet;
And fishwives weep when they hear my song:
Tangle of froth and sullen roar;
Bodies uptossed on frozen shore.
Wind.
The dust of the desert, the grass of the prairie,
The rush of wild horses, the rustic of grain,
/ weave into rhythmic accord with the odors
tOf pine of the mountain and sage of the plain
The song that I sing is the song of the open
The crashing of comets through infinite space
The earth's deep heart throbbings the murmur
of rivers
All sorrows and joys in its measure find place
The North Wind.
From the frosted harp of the God of Ice
/ strike chill chords as [ sing to men
Of blistering cold and binding snow,
Of frozen specters, of living woe
Of dim ice caverns and splintered air,
OF dazzling stretches of glacial glare,
Of miles upon miles of f1eckless white;
And over it all
The crimson and gold of the Northern Light!

Stonewa1l Jackson's Looks.
Sedalia. S. @.

His form was tall, gaunt and angular His
feet and hands large, and his walk was
singularly ungraceful. He always spoke quickly
in short sentences devoid or ornament, but to the
point. A habit of "batting" his eyes added no
little to the popularity of his appearances His
eyes were gray and ordinarily dull and expression
less; but when excited by drill which always seem
ed to arouse him, especially when charges were
fired, the whole man would change, as if he were

ing scenes of actual field of battle--From

The Long Engagement.

Unless, providentially, the engaged pair live
chances are that they will spend so many even
ings together and talk so much sentiment that
they will finally lose the glamour of enchantment
that should be theirs, and become commonplace
to one another. When an engagement stretches
over five years, six. or seven, Alfred and hdith
get talked out. They take to reading instructive
books aloud in the weary evenings. There de-
scends them an oppressive sense of having 1T
tie to anticipate. The girl begins to feel the
pressure her nerves, and, it may be, is lrrl-

Arthur F. Duffey. the famous American
Splinter and holder of the worlds record
for the 100-yard dash. has returned home
from his long sojourn in Australia and the
English colonies Of the South sea. Duffey
arrived in New York on the Oceanic Thurs
day.
Probably his most notable achievement
was the defeat Of G. A. Widmes, the Aus
tralian 1OO-yard champion. WIdmes held
the Australian championship for years, but
he went down In the victorious tour of the
American sprnter.
Following his defeat of Widmes, Duffey
met and defeated the champion of New
Zealand over the I0O-yard course, and In
his many matches with ambitious island
sprinters there were none who could show
him the way to the tape.
Sprintfng on the grass is a new game for
American runners, but even with that dis
advantage Duffey won all his matches under
those conditions and esta blished three new
records for that class of running. In one
of his matches he ran fifty yards on the
green in 5 2-5 seconds Later he establish
ed worlds record for seventy-tive yards
on the grass. covering the distance in 20
seconds, and in another match he made the
sixty-yard run in 2-5 seconds.

happening unless Hart recedes from his
determination never to battle with negro

difficult to fathom because of the fact that
Hart and Johnson have already met In
the opinion Of unbiased judges, any man
