DOMESTIC SCIENCE IN SCHOOLS.

In the North American Review for
August is a readable article on Do
mestic Science in Schools and colleges
by Helen Sage Gray. We make the
following excerpts as indicating the
trend of thought today.
The appearance of the members of
the family is good indication of the
kind of housekeeping they are accus-
toned to- They may be proof against
Encouragement for time and look
rosy, but eventually they succumb
Bilious eyes, cancellations of pimples
competitions like dough or dried APP
pies, and the external symptoms of a
hundred and one other ills are con-
picuous evidences of the wife's incom-
potency, and cry out, Behold her
handiwork.'
"Most illnesses come from improper
food. A great deal OF sickness in a
family usually means Inefficient house
keeping. Yet the wife never blames
herself for the sickness or death of
members of the family, but ascribes
the untimely ending of their lives to
an inscrutable visitation of Providence
Strenuous eXertions are made and no
expense spared TO: nursing, medicine
and doctors to save the life of a mem
Der of the family who is i'll; but the
prevention of sickness through the
study of housekeeping is disregarded
We are obsessed by belief in the
efficacy of medicine If the schools
had not been derelict in their duty
we should not have had the worship
of Aesculapius continued to modern
times.
Household science and household
arts should everywhere be introduced
into the public schools. They are quite
as important for young people to know
as the binomial theorem or the doings
of the Allobroges Education in house.
hold arts and science can be spread
more rapidly and efficiently by the
public schools than by the home Why
should the teaching of household science
be confined to the home? The home
is not relied upon to teach other
sciences. Where else, if not in the
schools, are young people to come in
contact with "a higher standard OF
cooking? "f95s ~
SIT is said that the American race is
deteriorating physically. This asser.
ton seems to be borne out by ones
own observation. How few people one
sees who are perfectly well; how many
who have some aiment or other! And
it is not to be wondered at that this
latter class is so large when one sees
the family dietaryqc Statisticians say
that one third of all the children in
America die before they are year
old, and that the average age at
which men die is thirty five years
A quotation from Shakespeare, which
is very appropriately printed on the
title-page of a recent cook book tells
use the reason: Men die because
they know not how to live With i'm
proved housekeeping, sickness will be
decreased in direct proportion to the
increase of intelligence and vigor, and
longevity added to life. People are
beginning to realize that sickness is
unnecessary and might be avoided by
hygienic living.
IF parents cannot afford to edu-
cate both sons and daughters, it would
be better to educate the daughters
because as mothers they have so much
more influence over the lives of their
children than fathers do"

Farmers of this greav and glorious
Northwest are making so much money
that it will not be necessary to 90
east to borrow any funds with which
to move the crops that have grown
so abundant and which will bring
home SO much pleasure, employment
and comfort. The Saltwater Gazette
says that years ago the first move
in the fall was to secure eastern
money with which to move the west
ern crops, but now it is not so es-
sential to have the funds of the east
as heretofore, although we do accom-
modate them and borrow a little
money occasionally. In few years,
if the farmers continue to grow rich
and richer, there will be so much
money out in the northwest that it is
liable to be drug on the market.

Those Jolly Jackies.

Not since the squadron Of Sampson,
Schley and Dewey returned here from
their triumps against Spain has this
city been overrun with Yankee tars
as it is today while Uncle Sans ships
still hang about this port. Every
man jack of the visiting fleets from
the foreign sea powers is also getting
out about town to join the navy revels
and the whole Bowery is ablaze with
the merry making of the man behind
the gun. New Workers always enjoy
the sight of the joyous jackies on their
streets, and this record influx of naval
holiday makers has entertained rather
than disturbed the whole town.

friends in record-breaking time. From
Seventh and Juniper streets, Atlanta.
to the court house here, was 43 minu-

count OF the recent rain and rough
roads, is quite marvellous.
In company with Mr.. Gambler was
Mr...Van Rensselaer,. who took advan-
tage OF the run to meet his wife who is
a daughter OF Mr. j. b. Glover, and
who accompanied the party back.
Together with Mr.. Gambler in his

able to return in better time on account
OF knowing the roads better and hav-
ing the stiff wind at their backs.

Tiles Made in Marietta
Call Forth Much Praise

Passers by on Kennesaw avenue in
the last few days have greatly admired
some beautiful tile work which has
been done at the home OF Colonel
Moultrie M. Sessions. From the side
walk to the steps wide walk lined with
coping has been laid. At the steps the
walk passes around the house on one
side and to the carriage driveway on
the other. The titles are perfect, as
smooth as glass and of unusually fine
color, while the curving of the coping
is faultless. The beautiful walks add
greatly to the appearance of the hand
some home OF Colonel Sessions.
This beautiful work was all done in
Marietta. The tiles were manufactur-
ed from Cobb county sand and Tenn
essee cement by R. H. Cox & Co., who
also laid the tiles and coping so per-
fectly as to elicit praise from all who
see them.
Colonel Sessions said:
II think it is one OF the neatest and
best jobs ever saw"
Messrs. Cox and Co. are making a
great success of their concrete block
and tile plant on Church street. They
not only have first-class equipment,
but use an unusually good grade of
sand and cement. They are also do
ing an extensive business in cement,
roofing, plaster OF paris, etc. Nothing
in Atlanta surpasses the work of this
enterprising Marietta firm.

further shocks and the slight tremors
of the day before decided those who
had remained where their homes once

become desert and that Messina and

The idea of recovering the dead
bodies has been abandoned. At first
when a form was rescued from the
ruins it was placed with others in
long row to await Identification. Few
were recognized. The rescuers ceased
to care for the dead. When bodies
were found they were left to decom-
pose. The search for the living will

sleep huddled together, numbed with
grief and terror. They simply awaited
the coming of the boats to take them
away, where, they cared not. Their
only desire was to leave the accursed
spot where their loved ones had died
and where their all was lost. No fam
