 If rent in an apron or a yawnlng tear in a dress would sometimes pro- yoke the dear sewing mother to rebuke, then the good father would interpose; May, Nan, don't scold; give the child a needle and thread and let her sew 1t up, and then she will not be so care- less again."
 In the country. far away from church and Sunday School as we were, the pre- cept to keep holy the Sabbath day was religously kept. After our morning prayers, there were our mass prayers; followed by tne reading of a. least one chapter in the Bible to distinguish this day from the other day, and as l look back, through the vista of many years, upon all those days of growing child hood, under the supervision of my dear father as friend and counsellor and teacher, and of my sweet mother as companion and lover, l recognize the rare privilege that had the children of Raphael Semmes and of Anne E.

Par ents hand down tainted circulation to their children, and we see its effects manifested in various ways. The skin has a waxy, pallid appearance, the eyes are often weak, glands of the neck enlarged, and, as the taint has been in the blood since birth, the entire health is usually affected, and the system weakened from want of nourishing, thanksgiving blood.

Tn writing that word 'Confederacy'' I am moved to ask why 1t is that so many, even of our Southern papers and writers, have fallen into the habit of spelling it with a little c? Who would think of writing the name of he United States, or Great Britain without capi- tals. and why should our own confed- eracy be treated with any less respect? It was just as much a nation as they are, while it lasted. and because 1t has passed away is no more reason for de- pying 1t proper name of its own, than for treating Greece and Rome as com mon nouns. It may seem a small thing to make grievance of--and it certain ly was small mind tha. first conceived the idea of belittling a noble nation in this small way, but trifipg, childish even, as such a petty piece of spite may he. the Daughters of the Confederacy should set their faces against this in sidious effort to throw contempt upon a name We are proud to bear. As long as we continue to write the name of the United States wi h capital, let us pay the same respect to the nation our fathers fought for, and teach the cnil- dren to write the name of the Confed- era.e States of America with big c. s.

MEANING OF WATT.
II. Word that Few nlectrle-I,rh.

~ ~ - "Oru tnat rev EleCtr1C.L1Rht
Patrons Undcrstand.
In the electrical world one hears and
reads great deal about watts" The
current is rated by watts; lamps burn
by watts. To the ordinary layman all
this talk of watts" is as mystifying
as the death of the late Akhood of
Swat, says the Electrical Review.
The man to whom we owe the idea
OF the horse power was Scottish in
ventor, james Watt, and when the cleo
trio unit involving the idea of working
capacity came to be formulated the
name Of Wait was chosen to indicate
this unit, just as that Of Volta has
given us the term volt and Faraday
the farad.
Watt considered that taking the av-
erage London dray horse was capable
of doing the work of lifting $4,000
pounds through one foot of distance In
one minute of time against gravity. The
introduction of this time limit, the min
ute, gave the unit of power or rate of
performing work. This or its eduiya-
lent has ever since been called a horse
power.
The electrical unit called the watt Is
capable Of being represented in terms
of the horse power, and in that form
itSis perhaps more, ineligible to those
who, nre familiar with mechanical
rather than with electrical expressions.
The electrical watt is the product Of
volts multiplied by amperes, where the
volt is the unit of electrical pressure
and the ampere is the unit of meas
uring the density or volume of an cleo
trical current.
Careful experiments have demon
strated that TAG watts per second are
equal to $50 foot pounds per second, or,
to state the equation in it's usual form.
T46 watts equal one horse power. The
form in which electrical power general
ly is sold is computed on the basis Of
kilowatt hours. The prefix kilo comes
from the Greek Chlioi, one thousand.
A kilowatt, written also k. W.. Is there
fore 1000 watts. The kilowatt hour is
the performance or work at such rate
that 1000 watts per second shall be
delivered continuously for one hour.
The kilowatt hour has n special In
terest for the man who has his office
or house lighted by electric lamps, be-
cause the kilowatt hour is the unit
upon which the power and light com
panies base their charges.

Republican Prosperity.

How do you like this Republican
prosperity when there is no cash for
farm products? How do you like
clearing house certificates or "Roose-
welt currency" us 1t is termed, which
your bankers offer you instead of
money? 1t won't take long to clog
the wheels of business under such con-
ditlons, and yet President Roosevelt,
while ordering very questionable
Issue of bonds and certificates of in
debtedness to help the banks, declares
at the same time there Is lots of money,
If the people would pay 1t out instead
Of boarding 1t. 1t is all very well for
the President, with $4,000 a year,
house and servants and coal and
horses, and travelling expenses furnish
ed him at public expense, to say,
"Don't hoard your money" His salary
is paid in nice fresh notes from the
United States Treasury on the first of
each month, while you are not able to
get dollar or only due bill Of a
bank promising to pay some time in
the future.
Meanwhile you see the price of wheat
and cotton shrinking, and you are
compelled to stand helpless awaiting
a resumption of business. Such is the
boosted Republican prosperity, which
the last Republican National platform
declared always accompanied Repub-
slican tariff. Such bogus prosperity Is
a delusion and snare. The tariff
protected bubble has burst because of
an inflated and bogus prosperity, and
Republican financial legislation has
proved disastrous at the first sign Of
trouble, because the whole fabric has
been reared for the benefit Of the ma
tional banks, which are controlled by
the trusts and corporations.
The Republican plan of expanding
business and prices artificlally through
the tariff and imitation of the currency
proved bonanza for the time to the
frenzied financiers of Wall street, but
the people, the farmers, the working
men and theNmiddle class of store
keepers and professional men must
now bear the burden of the slnmp in
prices and loss of work and business
and slow collections. Under such I'M
fortunate conditions, for which the
Republican party is politically respon-
stble, who will say 1t Is unpatriotic for
the citizen to hoard his little all for
the purpose of providing the necessi-
ties of life for himself, his wife and
little ones, when he cannot get what
is due him, and has the example be-
fore him of even the banks boarding
the money entrusted to them by the
people, and the Republican administra-
ton backing them up in SO dolng7
And now, to AID the national banks,
