To heavens u~nnumbered spheres
The wind is in the forest,

There Is a sound of weeping,
As of men who would be free.
Along Potomac's winding way

1t rises as from out a plain,
Majestic. calm, alone.
There is a storm of lead and steel,
With rain of blood and tears.
The wind Is black with battle walls,
And hope is torn with fears.
A clarion clank of severed chains,
A sudden sting of lead.
The win is warm with freedom;
The oak is fallen dead.
Along the shores of Endlessness,
Green kept by Gods W hand,
The trees that reached from here ia

Externally do stand.

n HOUSEKEEPING has always
been hampered to a certain ex-
tent by tradition and some su
perstition. Until recently few
women thought of making ~investiga-
lions for themselves regarding ques-
lions in general housekeeping, the
word of some great-grandmother being
usually sufficient. The fact that the
grandmother had nc opportunity to
study the laws of nature as seen in
the ordinary process of living did not
disturb the average woman's faith In
her opinion. But now a change is
gradually moving cross the country,
and the up to date ~housekeeper is
alive to anything which suggests i'm
proved and easier methods of work.
She win investigate new plans and
try practicable suggestions which seem
to offer greater facility in her work.
But there Is yet in our midst the con
sentative ~housekeeper. She is slow to
adopt new methods or to provide new
and better equipment for her work.

mode of work. 1t Is because the men,
who are generally the money earners,
are often averse to spending any sum
of money for house equipment. Not
being familiar with the details of do
nestle work and having larger inter-
ests in their own business. they are
very apt to think women can get along
with almost anything or, rather, they
think that homework can be accom-
plished with any sort of tools.
Occasionally a woman dislikes to ask
for what she needs, or sometimes she
will not accept modern inventions
when they are offered to her, and now
and then we find one who will not
use them when they are actually in
her possession. 1t is not always easy
to tell just where the fault lies or
what 1t is, but one thing is certain,
there has been less advance in house

years than has been made by any

The Handy FireIess Cooker.
Among the most useful articles that
have been brought into the kitchen
within the last five years is the fire
less cooker, or, as 1t was first named,
the "hay box" The conception of the
freless cooker is a very old one, as
some of the primitive races knew all
about and practiced the art of cooking
after this manner But it was forgot
ten or neglected by civilized people
until a few years back. Now the "hay
box' has proved itself so useful as an
economy Of energy and fuel that IL
has come to stay. There are some
handsome fireless cookers on the mar

Practical Cooking Utensils.

The variety and kind of utensils to
be used in the kitchen are always an
interesting topic to all good house
keepers. There is only one point to
emphasize in equipping a kitchen, and
that is that the best material is none
too good: also the extent of the equip
ment should be equal to the needs Of
the housekeeper.
l have been in many kitchens where
the utensils were In such a wornout
condition and so insufficient in kind
and number that / was not surprised

Y. W. C. A. CONFERENCE CLOSE
AT MEHARRY AUDITORIUM.

At 1880 p. m. the meeting marking
the close of the Y. W. c. A. confer
ence was held in the Auditorium. The
address of the occasion being deliv-
cred by DR.. M. c. B. Mason, Of Gin
cinati, O., senior secretary of the
Freedman's Aid Society. Speaking
on the essential needs of the Negro.
DIR. Mason said: 1.-THE one thing that
the race needs for its permanent de-
velopment is ethical and moral train
ing. l do not" he continued, dis
pare the word of industrial education,
nor the work of these institutions for
higher education, but the most impor-
tant need of the hour is ethical and
moral training, for behind the train
ed hand and the trained mind there
must be above all else a man and a
woman of character and downright
practical honesty"
Mrs ]. G. Napier, prominent in So
cial work, presided at the afternoon
session. The opening exercises were
conducted by Miss e. A. Ross, Nation
al Secretary of N. Y, who directed the
conference assisted by Miss Cecilia
Holloway, also of N. Y, during its
three days session. At this session
an encouraging report was read by
Mrs. G. L Jackson, president of the
Nashville Federation of Clubs. The
principal address of this session was
delivered by Mrs. w. A. Hunt, Of N.
Y, which was one of the most able
ones made during the conference. She
emphasized particularly the forma-
tion of character of the young Negro
women. A special feature of the af-
ternoon session was a solo by Miss
Gertrude Lewis, and at evening that
of Miss Maude Roberts, of Walden
University. The choruses by Fisk
and Walden Universities added much
to the occasion.

ORDER YOUR COMMENTARY
NOW.
The National Baptist sunday-school
Commentary For 1911 is
Now Ready.

Oredrs are being solicited, so that
every Sunday-school superintendent,
scholar, teacher and pastor might
send in their order, so that it may be
filled. This Commentary is the most
complete teacher and superinten-
dents guide now in use for the study
Of the Sunday-school lessons. The
eXposcitions, comments and the sys-
tematic way in which the lessons are
outlined make it a much sought COM
pendulum for Sunday-school workers.
There are many advantages to be
gained by using our Commentary,
which place it at the head of the list.
First, 1t is the only distinctive Bap-
fist Commentary on the market; Sec
ond, it was the first ever written,
arranged and published exclusively
by Negroes; Third, it meets more de-
mands in the Sunday-school room
than have ever been attempted by
any denominational publication and
it was larger last year than ever.
This book contains both the revised
and authorized versions Of the Scrip
ures and has decided advantages over
other books in that it contains the
Motto Texts and subjects for all teh
Sunday-school lessons to be studied
in 1912, virtually giving two years
lessons in one. More than ten thou
sand copies of this book were printed
last year
This Commentary also has a Bible
dictionary for each quarter and maps
of the Holy Land; in fact you can
not afford to get along without this

ling statement made by DR.. Widtsoe Of
Utah in q paper prepared for the Dry
Farming Congress. He cited one ex-
pertinent. Corn required 9O6 pounds Of
water to produce one pound dry matter;
when the same field was manured it
required but 6l2 pounds-in other words
the field when manured could produce
a third more. He secured similar
results by cultivation. Stirring the
soil liberated plant food. 1t seems to
be good deal like the results that
might be expected from feeding man
thin or thick soup. These facts are
important to the dry farmer; but also
to the humid region farmer and to the
irrigator.
