SEINE Day Babies Will Be
Born Wise.
In Ages to Come Human Beings Birth Will Know More Than
Any Man Knows Now.
Copyright 1879

The helpless and ignorant thing in the world is
born human being
The independent and wise thing in the worldin pro
portion to abilty-is a newborn mud wasp newly
fedged sparrow.
That because the human being just the beginning of
its development whereas the mud wasp the ant and other in
reached the highest development of which they
capable.
The saddest thing the education of human beings the
fact that each child must begin at the beginning and learn every
thing for itself.
Each little baby learns to walk learns to avoid the fire.
learns to talk The mind starts its life blank page and
everything must be written upon it. The child
learn by hearing from the father and mother of their mistakes
Each child must make its mistakes and taught only
by experience
But will that last forever?

brilliant writer the other day.
Did you happen to read 1t, too?
1t was about woman who
lived down behind the tracks"
in a country town. She was a
woman who Haunted the streets
in a gorgeous hat and expensive
gowns. She wore bangle brace
let's that jingled and rings that
sparkled, and high-heeled slippers
and open worked" stockings,
and the men grinned sheepishly
when she passed, and nudged
each other, and the women looked
the other way and pretended they
didn't even see her
One day the woman from DE
hind the tracks" bought a house
uptown and moved into it-a
neat. pretty little house, with a
garden and trees, and she dug in
the flower beds and watered the
lawn and put out hanging bas-
kets and she went to market in
little checked Bingham, and she
looked wistfully over the fence
when the neighbors went by, but
nobody ever spoke to her at all.
One night a baby was taken
sick in the neighborhood and the
woman from behind the tracks"
saved its life. The next day she
stood out on her porch and wait
ed to see the baby's mother go by.
And the baby's mother went by
and did not see the woman from
behind the tracks" at all, and
the woman from behind the
tracks" went and sold her
little new house and the
garden and all, and went
back behind the tracks" to live
and all the people in the village
pursed their lips and said, shes
gone back-they always do"
What Did She Expect?
Good story, wasn't it, and a
good slap at the narrow-mind-
ed little mother who wouldn't
make friends with the woman who
had saved her baby's life?
We need a few such slaps as
that, we women; and yet
wonder what the woman from
behind the tracks" expected
when she bought the pretty lit
tie house and the garden, and
went to live among decent peo-
pie?
Did she think they would get
out the band and meet and greet
her at the doorsteps, or what?
You choose your friends be-
cause you like them, and like
their kind-not because somebody
else thinks you ought to like
them
If the woman from behind the
tracks" had come to the village
from somewhere else and ng-
body knew a thing about her, q
you think the neighbor women
would have liked her anyhow? l
don't.
She wasn't their kind; never
was, never could be. She be-
longed to a different world, and
every time she turned her over
blended head and every time she
opened her good humored, too
easily pleased mouth and every
time she laughed her rather
coarse laugh, she would have told
what she was, and no woman of
any fineness of perception could
have been mistaken in her for a
minute.
No, I don't mean what she had
been. That isn't what would con-
Germ a kindly woman who was
trying to decide whether she
wanted her for a neighbor or not.

A Lesson From Home.
Once l had a MAZDA strange,
silent, stubborn girl with blue
eyes, so hard that they were like
a flint. She had a strange, meas
ured walk and a strange, con-
trolled voice, and she always act
ed as If she thought some one was
watching her.
One day I saw her in a blue
print dress, Of peculiar cut and
shade, and I knew-she was a
reformatory girl. I'd seen her
before, at the reformatory.
I didn't say a word. I treated
her exactly as I had always treat
ed her, but one day she was gone
and she left a letter for me. In
it she said many things. One
of them was this: You know
me; don't you? I believe you
do. I thought I could be differ
ent, but I can't. You've been good
to me, but I amt happy here.
] amt comfortable, so I'm going"
and gone she was, back to the
people with whom she was com
Portable" poor thing. Back to
the people who were like her and
who had her ways and her point
Of view. I was sorry. but didn't
go after her or try in any way
to reach her.
Perhaps I should have-Pte
often Wonderland yet there
were the children. Would It have
been exactly safe?"
Selfish-protecting my children
at the expense of a poor thing
who was trying to make herself
over.
Perhaps; but those children are
mine. They are my business. It
is my affair to keep them safe
as long as ! can. My own door
step I must keep clean, and then
if 1 have time and strength I
may help my neighbor about
hers. That's the way it looks
to me. I wonder if I am right or
wrong2
What You Really Are.
The poor thing from behind
the tracks" didn't belong in the
neat little street uptown. She
was no more in place there with
her loud laugh and her bleached
hair than the timid little woman
who lived beside her would be
in place in the ranks of a march
ing army I don't blame the
neighbor women for looking the
other way. Honestly, now, don't.
And the high heeled, expensive
slAtH1AS anu llAO ppGIl- WOIheu
stockings and the gorgeous hats
and the flashing rings-she had
had all these things while little
neighbor turned her blue cash
mere and trimmed it with black
velvet one year and with cream
Colored lace the next, trying to
make herself look pretty to the
one man she loved. How could
the poor thing from behind the
tracks" think she would never
have to pay for all that?
After all, though, it isn't what
you used to be that counts. 1t
isn't what you would like to be,
either; but what you really are,
and no change in dress or in
housing or anything else will
change that. I wish It would.
How pitifully I wish # would.

soil! very moist, but well drained
The plants will not be greatly in

as the so-called hammock" lands OF

For best results liberal amount
O; well-rotted stable manure SHOULD
be mixed with the soil. Where the
soil is very sandy, it is we'll to add
fertilizer rich in potash. Planting
should be done as early in the spring
as conditions of the soil and climate
will permit. This may be as earl,
az the first of February in South

March or the first of April in the

For field culture the tubers are
planted, singly and entire, from two
to three inches deep in hills, at a
distance Of three feet. In rows four
feet apart. This will permit horse
cultivation. During the summer, in
cultivation, the soil should be grad
ually drawn to the plants and the
plants kept free from weeds: they
usually require little cultivation aft
e; becoming large enough to shade
the ground. Well grown plants will!
reach a height of four and half
to six feet or more In midsummer.
The crop natures in about seven

utilized for home use in six months
