GOLDENROD PRETTY
TABLE DECORATION
Wild Carrot Is Also in Blossom at
This Season.

The woman living in the country at
this season of the year should have no
reason to neglect her dinner table in
the way of flowers Even should she
not have a garden of her own. the
beautiful goldenrod, which is now ablaze
in all its glory in fields and woods, can
be gathered.
Perhaps there is no wild flower which
makes. at this time of the year, such
an attractive table decoration as this
little yellow blossom. which waves on
its tiny rod all through September and
mart of October If the busy house
into the fields, she can send the little
ones, who will be only too delighted to
carry home to mother great punches of
this beautiful goldenrod.
There is another attractive woodland
flower that is in bloom at this season.
and which grows most profusely under
the great. tall forest trees. This flower
somewhat resembles the daisy, except
that it is smaller and has a brown CEN
ter. Many of these tiny blossoms grow
on one staff, and when arranged in
either n tall vase or a low bowl look
very artistic as a table decoration. Little
bowls filed with either the goldenrod
or this tiny white flower would look
most attractive if placed at the four
corners of the centerpiece.
The wild carrot is also in blossom now
and with these four kinds of woodland
flowers the housekeeper should be able
to arrange a most artistic centerpiece.
She might even select a different kind
of flower for each meal.
The wild carrot would he simple and
pretty as a breakfast table decoration,
the goldenrod would look especially at
tractive for the luncheon table, while
the little white woodland blossoms would
be truly lovely and artistic for the
dinner table.

Ironing Tablecloths.

The effect Of lovely linen tablecloth
is often spoiled by the network of
creases caused by folding it.
In the future when ironing the cloth
fold it once, through the middle, roll
and tie with a piece Of tape.
In this manner there will be but the
one crease and the tablecloth will lie
fiat and smooth upon the table.

The Restaurant
Habitues
BY JOHN o. WELLS.

n DULL, monotonous life we live
n With no reward and with none
to give
We breakfast. dine and sup, and then
We breakfast, dine and we sup again,
And the world wags on, nor knows nor
cares
How one of the Host of the Lonely
fares,
Nor spares the pity that might atone
For sitting here at our bread-alone.
No heads to bow in a fervent grace,
No sunny smiles in the baby's place,
No table chat of the blessings wrought
Or love and cheer that the daytime
brought;
No soft caress when the day is done.
No evening hour for romp and fun
No word or smile from our loving own,
For us who sit at our bread-alone.
And yet. there's tears in a passer's eye,
He quickens his pace as he hurries by;
He cherishes closer the visions of
The home that waits and the arms of
love.
His smiles new hope and his thanks
express.
That's stirred by US and our loneliness.
Then who shall say We no mission own.
Who sit in the shadows and live
alone?

y NE hundred and seventy nine
years ago, the governing body
of Georgia. by unanimous
vote, prohibited the use of rum in
the province
Thus it will be seen that this
action of the Georgia authorities
antedates that of Neal Dow and
the Maine people by one hundred
and twenty mine years. So far as
our country is concerned. the kings
trustees in Georgia were the orig
inal prohibitionists. While as vet
Maine was an unorganized wilder
ness, untenanted save by the In
dian and the bull moose, the Geor-
gia temperance decree was on it's
way across the Atlantic for sigma
ture by the king and the commons.
The royal signature was obtained.
and for ten years the Georgians
had to get along without rum. 1t
may be well to state in this con-
nectiOn that nearly all of the Geor-
gians of that time were Germans
and ScotChmen.

Writes on
The Search For the
Soul
We May Find 1t When
We Find the Origin
of Thought
By GARRETT p. SERVISS.

in her imagination as she reads
are not exactly those which we see,
they are none the less true and
charming to her.
SHE WRITES-in ordinary
characters, although she can not
see what she writes. In her let
ters she says to her friends: Il
am glad to SEE you" She has a
cheerful soul and she laughs and
claps her hands when she is
pleased. She knows exactly what
she lacks in physical endowment
She knows that she is poor, and
that her friends are poor, and she
wishes that she could gain money.
She has learned that money is pow
er in this world, but she appreci-
ates its limitations also.
And all this has been gained sole
ly through her hands. NJ. Bor-
deaux is quite right to call it the
Miracle of the Hands" But to
many it will appear to be far more
than that--it is the MIRACLE OF
THE SOUL.
Souls in Prison. :"
1t proves that something is born
in us which does not depend upon
mere physical senses. The senses
are simply Instruments. They act
through vibration. Sight depends
upon the vibrations of the ether;
hearing upon the vibrations I'M
parted from solid objects. If we
had a hundred physical senses
would the nature of the soul be
changed? Do we distinguish be-
tween the ideas of right and wrong
by virtue Of our senses? If none
of US had been born with any more
senses than poor Marie Heurtin
has, would not those ideas still
have existed in our minds? Her
education has been an education
in the true sense of the word
(e-duco, to lead Lut'D. The ideas
were not created for her by her
teachers; they existed already, and
only needed to be taught a form
of expression.
1t is this which gives its high
philosophical interest to the teach
ing of deaf. dumb and blind mutes
They are. as another French writer
has aptly and eloquently said
souls in prison" We are all pris-
oners of that kind. but not in the
same degree. We all FEEL that
we are prisoners, for there is no in
telligent person who is not con-
WINGED that his five senses are not
enough to place him in complete
touch with nature. Just as the
French girl has been led to recog-
nize the fact that she lacks many
things which other human beings
possess-although, even with her
imperfect physical organization,
she is able to show that she COM
prehends their highest ideas-so
every one of us. who carefully ex-
amines himself, knows full we'll
that he has impressions, ideas. as
pirations which do not depend upon
sight or hearing or touch, and to
which language can not give eX-
preston. Is it a very extravagant
suppOsitiOn, then. that there NAV be
beings, far more perfectly endowed
than We are, who take in us an
interest similar to that which we
take in the Helen Kellers. the Laura
Bridgmans and the Marie Heur-
tins, striving to cause us to com
prehend things which lie beyond the
range of our narrow prison. with
its five pitiful little windows?
But here we touch the frontier
of the domain of speculation.
