HAS COME INTO HER OWN
Spinster to To-Day by No Means the
Grabbed Old Maid Of the
"Comic" Papers.

The day of the typical grabbed old
maid is passed. Even the comic pa
pers have ceased to make fun OF
spinisterhood in this guise. Her place
has been taken by the independent
woman who quickly enough finds her
own niche in the world, and who gen.
orally has plenty of common to
spare for the benefit of others.
The old maid of to-day finds a
whole realm of interest awaiting her,
and plenty of work which she cares
to do. No longer is she condemned
to solitude and a cat, no longer is
spinisterhood regarded as a term OF
reproach and looked upon as a con-
dition to be ashamed of.
Look at any of the big charities.
any of the numerous boards of man
agement, and you will see the old
maid triumphant and at her best, hap
py enough in her work and her eff
forts to help humanity.

has given us the spirit Of free inquiry
which has yielded our sciences. and
all the precious fruits that have CONS
from them. The Jesus who went
about doing good has been the con.
tinuous philanthropist, and all the
mighty personal and institutional min
istries for the uplift and comfort OF
mankind which Christian nations have
wrought are but the prolongation OF
his ministry. There Is no n In the
world to-day so alive as Jesus. And
this life he reveals not only In the
lives and social institutions Of those
who are his followers, but also In the
very atmosphere Of the Christian civ
ilization which is ~inbreathed by myr-
lads who do not consciously fellowship
the Christ.
Neighborhood and Brotherhood.
To-day, as In the first century,
other civilizations Of the world are
feeling the touch of his power. The
arts and inventions of the Christian
peoples have made communion be-
tween all nations SO close that now
there Is no more sea-" The very air
carries our messages to one another.
This means neighborhood. What is
called western learning is Chris
tian learning" and the unchristian
world is asking for 1t. The double
task Of purifying our own civilization,
and of giving it to. other nations is
upon us. To help us in this the liv-
ing Christ is still teaching and work
ing.
A recent writer ("The Three Great
est Forces" by William Wynne Pey.
ton), has treated of "The Incarnation
as a Dynamic of Western Civilization"
To the coming of Jesus he ascribes the
u~nifcation of the manifold ~sacredness
around us; the unfolding Of u sense
of kinship with God and our fellows;
the revelation of the unity of the hui
man race, and consequent changes in
the relations of men with one another;
the calling of a sense of the essential
worth of human nature; the unveiling
Of the spiritual quality Of industry
and d%rudgery; the enhancing OF the
worth of the body; the TRANSPORTATION
of sex, with ensuing effect on morality
and the family; and the g~lorifcation
of love. These eight items by no
means exhaust the catalogue of what
Jesus has done-is doing all the time
but are some lines of the index to
the divine volume "Gesta Christi"
that records Jesus contribution to c1V.
ilization through Christianity
Well may our religious Christmas
be merry and exultant. The secret OF
the distance between Bethlehem's
manger and our modern highest en-
lightenment Is Jesus himself. He is
the Eight of the world" His life is
1.-The light of men" All other great
movements that have blessed mankind
in the Christian era are only impulses
from this dynamic of the incarnation.
In his footprints as he walks through
the world there spring up mankind's
noblest institutions. Only evil feels
waste and woe where he treads. Since
he was born history is his story.-W1E
liam C. Biting in The Standard.

Product from Five Holsteins.

Five Holstein cows at the Nebraska
Agricultural college produced 1850
pounds of milk in n year. This is
equivalent to about $4,000 quarts,
which at the wholesale price of five
cents per quart is equal to $1,75O. The
calves from these COWS at one year
sold for $1,275, making a total OF
$2,O25 for the five cows, or SOS as an
average yearly earning for each COW.
Counting 500 for the cost of keeping
each COW, this would leave a yearly
net income from one cow OF $500.
This is certainly a good showing for
the earning capacity of a COW. OF
course these were good cows, but
good cows are the kind to keep.

State Capital Notes
Weekly Budget of State News Items Gathered ~ Ouf Special
Correspondent 1t Jackson.
Must Be Bonds or 4 Deficit.

A review of the legislative calendars
shows that less Roadway than had been
expected was made with the revenue and
appropriation bills during the past week.
The Senate passed the Industrial Insti-
tute and College appropriation bill, car.
rying about 100000, and the lower
house disposed of the general a%ppropria-
tion bill for salaries of state officials and
contingent expenses, amounting to
$733,00o.
Measures for the support of the Uni
versity of Mississippi and the A. 4 nj.
College, a~ggregatiiss; about 100000, are
still pending before the House appropria-
tions committee, and win probably be
reported, after a liberal pruning, on Tues
day or Wednesday of the current week.
The House appropriations committee
recommends concurrence in the Senate
amendment to the common school appro.
priation, reducing the amount from 81
500, 900 per mum to $1,424,0SS per an
mum.
Appropriation bills for the two insane
hospitals, the deaf and dumb institute,
the penitentiary, the blind institute, and
several other state institutions, are still
pending in the lower house, and, in a
majority of instances, have not been act
ed upon by Chairman Morrison's com
mittee.
The committee has fixed the pension
fund for the ensuing biennial period at
$35O,O00 per annum. This bill was
passed in the Senate carrying 100000
per year, after an unsuccessful effort had
been made to secure the adoption OF a
committee amendment fixing the amount
at $350,OOo
The budget shows that if the several
state institutions are given the sums
they actually need, and other legitimate
expenses of state government are pro-
vided for, there will be a deficit OF be-
tween 100000 and 100000 during the
next two years. Therefore, it appears
that the lawmakers will either have to
adopt a policy of RIGHTEOUSNESS, which is
always to be deplored, or authorize the
Governor to negotiate a bond issue.

The Way, the Truth and the Life.

To go to God is to right about
face from sin and to set face
toward the right-to recognize God as
our goal and walk in his will n Eel
lowship. Jesus is the way, just as a
hig trunk line is the way to Chicago
It takes you there. 1t supplies the
motive power.
He is the way because 1t Is only
through him that we can reach or see
God. God is hidden from us n only
as we see through the rent veil are
we able to recognize and truly say,
my Lord and my God.
He is the truth because he is the
one eternal fact.
He is the life because In him is the
life that supplies the power to orien'
tate and to go Godward. Only life can
"go."-Rev. T. F. Cummings.

Tallahatchie Drainage District.

After a hearing of all parties to the
Tallahatchie drainage district contro-
versy by the senate committee on %levees,
the respective sides agreed to withdraw
any further fight against the proposed
referendum. That means that the bill
passed by the house will go to the SEN
ate without opposition. 1t is believed
that it will do no harm to the conflicting
interest. but rather it will be best for
all sides to give the people all oppor'
tunity to vote on the bond issue.

FINE FARM CHICKEN

(By B. f. LARA,

What is desired in the way of ulti
mate results must be considered when
determining the breed of poultry one
should raise. For eggs alone the leg
horns are by many regarded the best
1t is not so good an all-purpose fowl
however, and for those breeding for
meat as well as eggs, other strains are
to be preferred.
For the farmer having not more
than 100 or 200 chickens, the White
Wyandotte, White or Barred Plymouth
Rocks, or Rhode Island Reds cannot
be excelled.
The White Wyandottes are of me
dunn size, hardy and good layers.
They are easily cared for and bear
confinement well, although any fowl
must have plenty Of exercise.
For table use they are excellent.

der. making fine broilers and roasters.
They are extremely popular because
of the absence of dark pin feathers.
AS layers they average well up, both
for summer and winter production, if
some pains be taken to provide them
with comfortable quarters during in
clement weather.
To do this a fairly comfortable poul-
try house is necessary. This means
one which is dry all the time and SO
arranged as to admit plenty of fresh
air and sunlight.
A house built with three sides tight

side accomplishes this. A curtain. TO

Simple Permanent Groupings.


Owners of large estates to-day omit
the old-time formal floral designs for
the wide, open expanse of lawn, with
here and there groups Of flowers or
shrubs arranged more after the natu-
raj style of such flowers and plants.
They strive less for set pieces made
of tulips, hyacinths, genaniums, etc.
and more for the possibilities from the
proper grouping of certain trees and
shrubs, wistaria arbors, masses Of H.
laos, rhodendrons, ~azaleas, peonies.
etc. AS a result many very beautiful
estates now adorn our country and we
are fast rivaling the old world In this
respect. Landscape gardening is now
taking it's proper place as a fine art.

Japanese Clover.

Japanese clover, Lespedeza strata,
is an annual, and grows from Is to "a
inches high in good soil, forming a
dense mat of stems and foliage. 1t
grows fairly well in poor pine land
and other dry soils, and is useful in
the south for pasture in the fall, and
to some extent for hay. It has be-
come extensively naturalized in many
states south of the Ohio river. For
hay 1t should be sown in the spring
at the rate of at least 80 pounds to
the acre.

Assistant Acknowledgement.

The senate Tuesday passed a very i'm
portant bill, authorizing the appointment
of a second assistant encouragement,
at a salary of $4,000 a year. This mat
ter was urged on the legislature recently
by Governor Noel, who gave statistics
to show the vital necessity for such an
officer. Senator Mcdowell, of Kinds, IS
author of the bill, and he made the prin-
cipal speech in favor of its passage. The
final vote, "a to 5, indicates the view
point of the senate as to its necessity.

cry and that thou new turnest away
the soul in need. Our hands have
been busy with many things. with
striving and getting and laboring for
the things which perish. But com.

find rest unto our souls. Into our
hearts we pray thou wilt come and
make each one thy home. casting out
all sin and self1shness till they are
pure and childlike and fit for the
spirits %indwelling. Uplift our hearts
to praise thee for thy ne~ver-failing
goodness through all the passing days.
Quicken us to regard others needs
as our clear call and obligation to
service, and strengthen us to do what
our hands find to do for the advance
ment of thy cause and kingdom. Draw
all thy children Of earth into closer
bonds of unity and brotherhood and
hasten the time when all shall know
thee, in whom is light and life eternal.

Cut University Appropriation.

The committee On appropriations re-
ported back with amendments the Uni
versity of Mississippi appropriation bill,
with a cut of $1O6,000. The trustees had
asked for $331,o0O, and the bill as re-
ported back provides for only $225,Oo0.
This caused much comment and surprise
among the friends of the university, who
are hopeful the senate will restore the
deficiency as shown in the house bill as
