Havana.-The revolt OF the blacks
is so serious that while there is no

victory, it will be a question of weeks,
il not months, before the State will be
handling the situation well.
The Government is rushing troops to
Oriente and Santa Clara, but the num-
Der OF negroes already in revolt in
those places, and the country's natural
formation, will enable them TO contin-
ne a guerrilla war indefinitely, especi-
ally in Oriente, where an immense ma
jority OF the population are blacks and
the mountain Businesses are practical
ly impregnable.
Another serious danger is the Gov
ernment's strength being concentrated
there, for this leaves the western pro-
vinces weakened, and it is insistently
stated that the negroes plan to uprise
in force in Matanzas, Havana, and in

Slam is one of the few countries
which boasts OF a corps of women po
lice. The members Of this Amazon
guard are all old and ugly. They wear
a uniform, though they are not armed.
Their chief duty Is to act as gatekeep-

Bangkok. They follow any stranger
who enters the place and remain with
him until he takes his departure. They
see that there is no mischief done, and
that no one makes love to the royal

freely, but are always accompanied by

has some difficulty in recruiting these
guards, as the work is hard and the
pay poor.

indictment of that older generation
Of women who treat the problems of
their grown-up girls as my mother
did mine, women who like to pre-
tend that the conditions which con-
front their daughters are the same
as those which confronted them.
Any implication that this is not so,
any plea for guidance in this modern
and complex world, is met some
times by silence, by the smooth
avoidance such as my mother prac-
tised. I do not think I am exagger-
ating when / say that the average,
educated, intelligent mother-a avoids
participating in the intellectual de-
velopment of her daughters. l have
known one middle-aged woman af-
ter another who resented the fact
that her girls thought; and by her
open disapproval of what they were
thinking, or by the tacit method of
avoiding discussion, as employed by
my mother, did what she could to
limit their Intellectual growth"

GIRLS QUESTIONS.
Some Mothers Evade Them, and
Daughters Suffer.

In a remarkable article in the new
October number of Harper's Bazaar,
called "My Mother Didn't Tell Me"
is the following:
MY mothers method of meeting
my inconvenient questions and
points of view which she did not
wish to discuss varied from that of
the mothers of many of my friends.
Many of them got angry with their
daughters or grieved over them,
while my mother avoided, with an
adroitness that was extraordinary,
contact with any subject unpleasant
to her. She did not meet any single
thing squarely, she lodged every is
sue, and in this way she also avoided
the heavy burden of responsibility
which / tried to put on her-that
of having anything to do with the
building Of my inner self. i am not
writing this as complaint concern

CHOOSING FRIENDS.

The girl who has been carefully
guarded all her life up to the time
of her coming out''-that wonder
full time when she puts her hair up
and her dress down and starts out to
take a hand i'll the game of life-the
girl who has been guarded by loving
parents up to that time, will have no
difficulty in choosing friends, for
each and every one will have to come
up to the standard that wise moth
er has taught her how to raise She
will not measure possible friends by
their surroundings, but will judge
them for themselves. True worth is
all that will appeal to her. She has
been taught that a loving heart is
worth more than all the wealth of
the world. That there is more honor
in being the wife of poor man if
he is honest, upright and broad
minded, than in being the wife of
millionaire if he is dishonorable.
Everything turns naturally to the
sunlight and the wise girl will
choose her friends from among sun
shiny people. Smiles are as cheap
as the sunlight itself, and the cheer
full person will help to raise her out
of the slough Of despond into which
she may have fallen, while the friend
who groans will only push her deep
er into the mire. All the people who
smile are not happy. The smile is
the pretty curtain that they hang be-
fore the windows of their soul that
the curious person may not see. All
that the world sees is the smile.
The sarcastic person, the one who
wastes time criticising and sneering
at all the little things of life, must
not be chosen for a friend. There
is so much of beauty and worth in
this grand old world of ours that it
is only the foolish person who never
finds anything to admire, or to pro-
mote their happiness. Therefore
avoid the person who sneers at
everything.
Girls excuse too much these days.
The average girl overlooks slang,
familiarity, and smoking. And some
of them even excuse drinking 1t
cheapens a girl to appear in compa-
ny with the young man who is

ing liquors. No matter how you are
placed, whether you are the daugh-
ter of wealth, or just a poor work
ing girl, you can not afford to count
young men of this sort among your
friends.
An honorable young man will
gladly climb to the standard set by
the girl he loves, but she must place
it high and hold it firmly. 1t is al

A LETTER MRS. LEE APPRECT-
ATES.

Dear Mrs. Lee: In the Jefferso-
MAN of Sept. 18th, A. c.. G. wishes
to know how to keep pigeons at
home. I would like to tell a bit-of
my experience along this line. /
built a house and bought some pig
cons, and the hawks and hunters re-
lieved me of all my pigeons except
pet white arc, and she never left her
home while she lived, after the 9TH
ers were all gone.
Inside of the house I placed
small mirror and every day my
pigeon could be heard cooling to her
self in the mirror. Alas! one day
hawk caught her. While sitting on
the porch one morning | noticed
blue pigeon on a post in the yard, |
gave her some crumbs and she flew
around till she decided to make her
home in the house where the mirror
was, and she stayed two years by
herself. She laid 20 eggs and would
set, but the eggs being infertile of
course, she did not hatch. l would
feel sorry for her, so | would get the
eggs and throw them away to keep
her from setting. l did not care
much to raise them, as they took
good care to find my Strawberries
and made havoc of them
| hope A. C. G. will try this plan
and keep her birds at home. I am a
constant reader of the Jeff and never
miss line There are two things I
do not ever care to be without, one
is the Bible, the other the Jeff. I
like to read the woman's page and
am sure we all profit by it. If there
are any Of the sisters who wish some
fine strawberry plants, | would glad
ly send them if they would agree to
pay postage on them, which is one
half cent per ounce. | have the fol-
lowing varieties: Glen Mary and La
dy Thompson. November is the
time to set them out, if set then they
will make nice crop of berries the
next season.
I feel as if must tell you that [
have this day, Sept. 21st, gathered
ripe blackberries from the vine and
there are lot of green ones yet to
ripen. We have had them continu-
ousIy since the 21st of June. l hope
this will interest some one, and now
l wish to thank you for your inter
est in us, and | am sure we all love
you and wish you success in the
work.

RULES FOR DEALING WITH THE
FLY NUISANCE.

II HI NOKSkAIVOG4s
Keep flies away from the sick,
especially those i'll with contagious
diseases Kill every fly that strays
into the sick room. His body car
ries disease germs. The carrying
power of a single fly has been found
by actual experiment to be $780,
600 bacteria.
Do not allow decaying material of
any kind to accumulate near your
premises.
All refuse Of any kind which will
ferment, such as bedding straw,
paper waste, and vegetable matter,
should be burned or covered with
lime or kerosene oil.
Keep all stable manure in vaults
or pits, screened or sprinkled with
lime or oil.
If there is no sewage system pro-
vide an earth closet for excreta If
box priyy must be used, cover the
contents with lime every three or
four days, screen the enclosure, and
kill all flies within.
Keep the contents Of the ashpits
free from all fermenting matter
such as paper waste, and empty
them every ten days.
The housekeeper who is trying to
rid her house of flies VIII welcome
the following suggestions:
Screen all food. When buying
food patronize only those shops
which keep foods screened.
See that the sewage system does
not leak and that it is not exposed
to flies.
Pour kerosene into all the drains.
Burn all table refuse. If it must
be kept for a garbage collector,
cover with kerosene nightly.
Empty and scald all cuspidors
daily.
Screen all windows and doors.
When you see flies look for filth.
1t may be behind the door, or the
dust behind some piece Of furniture
that is never moved
Complain promptly of any nuis-
ance in your neighborhood. This is
a most necessary rule and yet it is
one of the hardest to enforce.
Householders will endure filthy
neighbors rather than complain
Such complaint is legally justified.
A few years ago man living in
Germantown, Philadelphia, recov-
cred heavy damages from the city
for an illness of typhoid which he
proved was caused by a stream flow
ing through his yard which had
been polluted by sewage from a
house tenanted by a typhoid pa
tent The man had neither drunk
the water nor bathed in it, but it
was proved that the disease was
brought from the water by flies to
food placed in the house, and the
court decided in his favor.
Despite the utmost vigilance
few flies will survive. These must
be killed. One of the simplest and
best fly killers is a weak solution of
formaldehyde; about two teaspoon
fuls Of formaldehyde to pint of
water This should be placed in
plates and saucers throughout the
house. Ten cents worts of formal
dehyde will last all summer For
maldehyde is fatal to disease organ
isms, but is practically harmless in
this solution except to insects. It
has no offensive odor Pyrethrum
powder, powder made from q
flower which belongs to the Chrys-
anthemum family, is fatal to flies
when burned in the house. The
flies which escape death will fall to
the floor stunned, and may be
