Try to be WorDaDIy

People of the old school cannot refrain from
dreading the unfavorable effect ON the next gem
Grafton of automobiling, yachting, fencing and the
present strenuous life of some women.
Let the leisure class cultivate greater veneration
for holy things insist upon less dissipation of
every kind, less display and extrayagant dress,
and more respect for industry, and we shall see
women stronger morally, more interested in ele-

wives are introducing Japanese 1urnlsE-
ps,s.;s=A ings into their summer homes to re-
ts&EkA1 main as permanent fixtures. The result
is sure to be artistic and hygienic, not to men
ton the reasonable cost, which in most cases
is an important factor.
Characteristic virtue is the lightness of the
furniture and the simplicity of construction that
enables it to be readily kept clean. There are
so many attractive and inexpensive smaller de-
tails of interior decorations and necessities such
as the various tea sets, candlesticks, lamps,
brasses, pottery and quaint designs symbolical
of their religion and native customs, that the
field of choice is practically limitless.
No matter how ornate thing may be or how
much elaborate work has been put upon it, the
effect withal is unmatched in its simple beauty.
There are no crowded apartments Uttered with
useless and unlovely furnishings in Japan, as
seen in many American homes On the contrary,
the Japanese house is very sparsely furnished,
: and you wonder where and how they live with
so few household requisites which American peo-
pie simply could not exist without.
They never bother about housecleaning and
the weekly sweeping and scrubbing are practically
unknown because their homes are always kent
as they should be, Immediately clean and free
from useless Furnishings.
This hygienic and practical scheme simplifes
housekeeping TO ABOUT one-thrd, and is recon-
mended to American housekeepers who have not
yet learned the wisdom of their almond-eyed
cousins across the sea-

ONE GOOD FEATURE.

One encouraging feature that will be noted by an observant visitor to the present State Fair is the attention paid to the products of farm, orchard and garden, of which so many fine specimens are on exhibition. Many of Il ese exhibits gre cye-openers to the average city man. We are told and re- told that Alabama Is a great agricul, tpral State. but some of he products out at vandiver Park are better proof of 1t than anything that can be writ ten or printed. Not only is this shown in the products of the earth, but in the fine animals and fowls on exhibition. coming from various portions of the State. They show at a glance the wonderful diversity of products in Ala bama and also the almost unlimited capabilities of our soil and of our peo- pie.
 And we repeat that tha attention given these exhibits is one Of the most gratifying features of the exhibition. Some go out there from mere curiosity and to pass away the time, some to see the races, some to watch the various entertainments. and so on. Some care little for anything but machinery and others are chiefly interested in art work, but all the time the visitor will find crowds viewing the fine and varied products Of the earth. or examining the fine animals and fowls, of which there are some exceedingly fine specimens This is both Rratifyire and encourag- irg, because it shows that Srea. many of the visitors are interested in the material resources of the state and are anxious to inform themselves as to what our people are doing and can do If no other good results from the Fair. 1t Is worth much as an education and an inspiration to the visitors
