MODERN AMAzoNs.

Among the ancient scmi-histoYi ical myths or traditions the one relating to the Anlazons is most pcrtinacious an l l Interesting. According to Or eek legend they were a race of strong women who had little Kingdom or nation of their own in the Northeastern portion of Asia Minor. whefe, under the rule of queen they lived, and from whence they made incursions into the neigh boring provinces. They suffsrs ed no man 10 live among them. but fought their own battles and were said to be a constant menace to their neigh bors. whsth sr such a nation actually existed may be looked on as doubtful, but certaidly there has been much writ ten of .ind ab put them in song and story.
 We have been reminded of these old stories by reading an item of news to the effect that a company has been formed n Boone County, Missouri, composed of the. daughters of the farm CTS. and that they lately gave an cx- hibition drill ,n which they surprised shC SPNetotohS Uy thJhi pfoHCIChCy anu went through the manual of arms like veterans.
 Now, what Is the meaning of this and what is to be done about 1t? We know of nothing in .xistins conditions in Boone County that mas made it neces- sary for the W omen to suddenly become militant, and if it is mere ambition to take m tn's p1a.e tho situation becomes serious. In this day of str .nuous wo- manhood we know that the sisters are climbing into many of the seats form- erly reserved for the br .thren. but here tofore the rev ,luticn has been peace full. If thy arc going to arm them selves with guns and sabres anI sail into the military fleIG we sao lid be glad to know what we are to expect Suppose the fad spi eads and they forni themselves into companies. regiments and brigadcs and insist on taking their places in the military forces of the Gov ernment--is there any way to bluff them? Seems to us that there may be lively times ahead for somebody

 In an article contributed to The Ma. ufacturers' Record. MT L. J. Brvaaf writing from Arlington, Ky. voices 7. sentiment all too general in the Sogt6 italian immigration.
 He has many kind things to say n, the negro. some just. others question. able. but he sees in the attempt to settle Italians in the South all sorts ot cloudy dangers. all through which runs lis fear of the stiletto. He plainly re eards the Italian as an assassin. 7 The Carolina Field does not know, vylio Mr. Bryant is, nor what are 6is Opportunities for getting at the faots about the Italian. but for his inforpoa .

Blessings of Free Rural l.

IdIIdSBtE
 The Government can confer no grea CT blessing on a section than by giving them free rural delivery. The section west of Tallassee Is a good example Of what has been accomplished. Through out this section you find enlightened and prosperous people. all apparently happy and in, good circumstances. An enlightened people will not remain long in any community where the mall facilities are poor, many places in our State now known this to their sorrow.

The impropriety of a city granting ienghty franchises is now experienced in Chicago. Forty years ago, just at the close of the war, the Legislature of Illinois granted to the traction company of the city franchises for ninety-nine years. Now they are among the most valuable properties In the city and have nearly sixty years yet to run. That shows the absurdi- ty of giving away. actually or vir- tuaily, valuable city franchises for such long terms.

PoTPoURRl JARS.
How TO Make one That VIII Keep
Fragrant For Years.

The never falling delight Of a pot
pourri jar prepared from fresh roses
petals, lemon verbena leaves, rose ger
anium and other sweet scented flowers
is known only to its fortunate posses
sor. 1t is easy to prepare one and, once
prepared, so easy to keep at the point
Of perfection that 1 marvel they are
not more frequently made, says a
writer in Good Housekeeping.
The rose petals and other blossoms
should be gathered in the morning as
early as possible after the dew has
dried off. BE sure and have no water
on them, then put them in a large stone
Jar and sprinkle a little salt over half
inch layers. l use a salt shaker as it
distributes the salt more evenly. The
petals can be added from day to day
till enough for your purpose have been
gathered. Let them stand in the jar
for twelve days after the last are put
in and stir the whole thoroughly every
day with a wooden fork CA salad fork
is good to use) Grind coarse an ounce
of allspice, cloves and fine stick CHINA
mon. Transfer your petals to another
Jar and scatter the spices, mixed to-
gether. in layers alternately with the
flowers. Cover the Jar very tight and
let it stand in a dark place for three
weeks to "ripen," when your stock
will be ready for the permanent jar.
OF course this may be as handsome
as you can afford but whatever it is it
should be provided with double cover.
Now have ready quarter Of an ounce
each Of allspice, cloves and mace, all
coarsely ground, half a grated nutmeg,
half an ounce of cinnamon, an ounce
of the best powdered orris root and a
quarter of a pound of dried lavender
flowers. Mix all together in a large
bowl and proceed TO fill your perma-
nent rose jar with alternate layers Of
the stock and the mixture.
If you like you may add few drops
each Of the following essential oils,
which should be dropped upon the lay
ers as you proceed: Rose, geranium,
neroli and bitter almond. CThe last is
n deadly poison, if taken internally, so
keep away from childish hands) Over
the whole pour an ounce of the finest
cologne or rose extract.
This quantity will ill a two quart
jar and it will keep for years and years.
You may add to it various sweet bios
SONS from time TO time, and if the jar
be lefG open n half hour each day it
will fill your apartments with fra
