No one in the widest of flights of
imagination could say that the Times

wo do think that the number of
houses in this country left unprotcct-

man of the house is carrying the pis-
tol In his hip pocket to make him feel
like lord of creation while the wife
and mother has to protect herself,
her children and the family property
from mauraders by trusting to inse.
cure locks and bolts. Many an acct

in this country would never have oc-

left the pistol at home for his wife or

If he had provided such defense for
them. Every woman who is expected
to hold the fort at home should have
guns and ammunition at hand and
learn the use of them. One sniff of

chapters of tragedy and horror in
many cases. Keep the gun at home.

Hart SChaffner & Marks Beautiful
New Building.

The very handsome picture of Hart
Schaffner & Marks magnificent new
building, now in process of construc-
ton in Chicago. which The ID. J..
Chandler Clothing Co, are displaying
in their window is attracting much
attention.
This building will in some respects
be the most remarkable of the kind
in the world, not in height and space
although it will be thirteen stories
and will afford a floor space eouiva-
lent to eight acres-but in beauty and
conveniences.
The floors on which clothing will be
carried are to be absolutely dust
proof. This is accomplished by seal
ing all windows and passing the air
through water before it enters the
room. A ventilating system of the
same kind will be provided for the
health of the employees. A refrigerat-
ing system will cool the air and ster-
ilize and cool the drinking water.
There will be pneumatic tubes for
sending mail by compressed air from
one part of the house to another;
spiral chutes, fet in diameter, from
the top story to the basement. for
dispatching shipments, both freight
and express, automatic fire-alarms
and sprinklers, and other modern
equipment.
The building will contain only the
offices, stock floors and cutting
rooms; no manufacturing will be car
ried on there, but will be done in
other large buildings located in diff
ferent parts of the CITY,
The new building is in the heart of
the business district of Chicago, and
when competed will be accessible to
those who wish to visit it as one of
the interesting points in the city.

To Make State Flags.

Mr.. c. S. Doggett, director of the
textile department OF Clemson Col

his department will manufacture

state to secure flags without any diff

The me as School of Good Man.
nerS.

Not long ago I visited a home
where such exceptionally good breed
ing prevailed and such fine manners
were practised by all the members Of
the family that it made a great i'm
preston upon me.
This home is the most remarkable
school of good manners, refinement
and culture generally 1 have ever
been in. The parents are bringing up
their children to practice their best
manners on all occasions. They do
not know what company manners
mean.
The boys have been taught to treat
their sisters with as much Difference
as though they were stranger guests.
The politeness, courtesy and consider
alton which the members of this fam
lily show toward one another are most
refreshing and beautiful Coarseness,
Eruffness, lack of delcacy find no
place there.
Both boys and girls have been
trained from infancy to make them
selves interesting and to entertain and
try to make others happy.
The entire family make it rule TO
dress before dinner in the evening,
just as they would if special company
were expected.
Their cable manners are especially
| marked. At table every one is sup
posd to be at his best, not to bring
any greuch, or a long or sad face to
it, but to contribute his best thought,
his wittiest sayings, to the conversa-
ton. Every member of the family is
expected to do his best to make the
meal really happy occasion. There
is sort of rivalry to see who can be
the most entertaining or contribute
the spiciest bits of conversation.
There is no indication of dyspepsia in
this family, because every one is train
ed to laugh and be happy, and laugh
The etiquette of the table is also
strictly observed. Every member of
the family tries to do just the proper
thing and always to be mindful of
others rights. Kindness seems to be
practiced for the joy of it, not for
the sake of creating a good impress
sion on friends or acuuaintanoos
There is in this home an air of pecu-
liar refinement which is very charm
ing. The children are early taught
to greet callers and guests cordially,
heartily. in real Southern, hospitable
fashion, and to make them feel that
they are very welcome. They are
taught to make every one feel COM
Portable and at home, so that there
will be no sense of restraint-Success

Attend the Institutes.

Our observation cOnvlnces us that
the failure Of the farmers institute to
sometimes accomplish that good
which might reasonably be expected.
is more frequently due to the farm
ers themselves than to any fault Of
the institute; but it is not denied that
institute lecturers have not always
FULLY measured up to their opportu-
mites and responsibilities as teachers
or practical agriculture. The chief
cause for the failure of the institute
system to do the full amount of good
possible is the well-known conserva-
tism of the tillers of the soil. or their
dislike and reluctance to change their
methods of doing things.
1T is very much easier for all of us
TO do our work the old way in which
long practice has made us perfect"
and new way which is much better
and which after practice is also much
easier, may at first be very much
more difficult than the old way with
which we are familiar. This accounts
for our tendency to get into "ruts"
and stay there.
II the institutes are going to ma
terially aid us, we must avoid the
common error of concluding that
methods which have been demon
strated as practicable and effective
by others on their farms will not also
be practical and helpful on ours. We
have repeatedly heard men state that
such and such crops would not grow
on their farms, and later the very
same persons making these state
ments have grown these very same
crops successfully and profitably. We
have also frequently known men to
try a crop, an implement or a method
of cultivating or preparing the land
and after one trial conclude that "it
was not practical under their condi-
tons; but later, from further trial.
they learned that these new things
were g practicable and helpful that
they adopted them. what others are
doing can do,'' is a good motto III
such matters. If implements or meth
DDS have proved generally profitable
on other farms, they are likely to be
of value to any man growing SINH
lar crops, if given proper trial.
No institute lecturer is likely to ad-
vocate anything he has not tried, or
anything which hundreds have not
already found valuable and are using
under similar conditions to yours;
therefore, if your experience differs
greatly from that of others the
chances are that the fault is not in
the crop. the implement, or the meth
cd, but in your management Of it. If
it is Of great value to others, we
should try hard to make it of value
to us. Nine odt of every ten who
have attended the Institutes are ready
to admit that they have received
much benefit from them, and they
continue to attend them regularly ev-
cry year. If the institutes are help
full to those who attend them, they
would be equally helpful to the great
er number who do not attend. If it
pays a good farmer to attend the in
stitutes-and this is the kind that
generally go to them-it will pay all
farmers to attend them.-Progressive
