I MUST GO A-GYPsYING.
By Lillian Laferty.

By Lillian Laferty.
The rose-flushed dawn has beckoned
Across the gold.tinged hill
That lay, last night, in shadow
Moon.silvered, brooding, still
But last night in the darkness
/ heard my spirits hail,
So today I'm off on the Open Road,
On the glowing summer trail.
IN cross both plain and mountain;
III fare through dell and glen
For my spirit bids me wander
Afar from town and men.
I'll dream on moss or balsam,
In wood or windswept hill
For the lure of Summer beckons,
And follow, follow still.
Some folks will praise the city
Let city joys be theirs;
But music of the silverthrOats
Gives song to him who fares.
A pictured glow is twilight
Rose are waves at dawn.
And perfume from the meadows sweet
Still lures me, lures me on,
The wide horizon calls me
Far leagues away from you,
So never seek to hold me here
To prove my love is true
This Summer / must gypsy still
0'er wood and hill and dale,
For my hearts away on the Omen Roaf
And / follow the Summer Trail.

Greatest of All

every age, as far back as history will
take you, there were wise men who
knew of this spiritual force and. en-
ployed it.
Wise Men Have Known This Force.
The ancient seers Of India called it
Akasa. They said everything which
exists is q form Of Akasa. Coal is ono
form; gas, finer form Of it; cleo
tricity, a still finer; but the mind Of
man is Akasa in a yet more subtle
shape, and the next higher and finer
is the mind of God. SO God, the Crea-
tor Himself, is Akasa, and we are all
part of it--Him.
Keep that thought in mindful
yourself with it--and there is nothing
you cannot do to better and brighten
your own life and the life of the race.
Awake Every Morn With Prayer.
Awake every morning with prayer
of gratitude on your lips. Say, "I
am Akasa, the divine Staff of God and
His universe; | am power for good,
for usefulness, for health, for sue
cess "
Say it over and over, no matter how
depressing your conditions, how dark
your outlook, how full Of pain your
body, how empty your purse.
Persisting in the assertion will
bring its results.
If you begin to think it ridiculous,
absurd, unreasonable and foolish to
make these assertions, just recollect
how your ancestors scoffed at the idea
Of the telegraph, the cable and the
telephone
Cyrus Field was made the BUTT Of
t cruel jests for years, by the most bril-
liant men of the day because he be-
lieved cable across the ocean could
[ be laid under water. But he persisted
in using the "Akasa" of his mind in
, this thought and we know what re-
suited.
, If you persist in using the Akasa
of your mind in thoughts Of love, use
; fulness, health and success, all these
/ things will come to you. You shall
e have your heart s desire If you want
it enough to bring it to you. 1t is all
f in your own power.
Added to your assertions, live them.
I East Simply; Breath Deeply.
J, If you are made of the Akasa Of
+. God (and you are), do not overload
b vour system with food; do not poison.
S it with drugs; do not deaden it with
? narcotics
t Eat simply and only what you need
I to supply vital force and strength.
] q Eat to live; do not live to eatlU
o Breathe deeply-fill your body with
e fresh air many times day.
n Stand erect, as if you intended to
n look God in the face. Sleep with open
Y windows
d If Won do all this, you will be what
you win to be, in spite of circum-
: stances, environments and obstacles.
n For you are greater than all!

NATIONAL CHANGE OF DIET.

Unless all signs fail we are likely in
the near future to find our present
day "menu" of eatables a dead Ian
guage, thanks to the researches and
worldwide explorations of the depart
ment of agriculture. To DIR. Fletcher's
insistence upon masticating our food
and Professor Finck s assurance that its
virtue lies in being properly tasted, will
be soon added the novelty of testing
delicacies more or less toothsome gather
ed from the distant parts of the earth.
Uncle Sam, through his officers, is
doing his best to solve the high cost of
living for his numerous family. To this
end a small army of provender scouts
has been engaged for some years ex-
perimenting with fruits and vegetables
III foreign lands with view to their
naturalization opon American soils.
More than $4,000 specimens have been
thus dealt with and pronounced upon,
opening up the prospect of writing up
"menu" from the garden crop about
as ineligible to us now as though it
were writ in Mexican hieroglyphs.
For instance, there is the "jujube, "
formerly used as a mere flavoring, but
now raised to the dignity of delicious
pie fruit, and with this might go the
"yang taw," sort of Chinese goose
berry, capable among other things of
yielding a distillation even better than
Secretary Bryan's grape juice. The
"soy bean" deserves mention because
its flavors vies with the Boston variety
and lifts a nutritious ailment above
the prosaic level. Of solid comfort is
the "petsai "-once again a Celestial
intportation-and at once cheaper and
more easily grown vegetable than PIE
bian cabbage. We understand it will
thrive as readily as milkweed and blacA
berry bush, though good enough fol
the most fastidious epicure. But per
haps the monarch of all these vegetable
immigrants is the "dasheen, y" which il
said to surpass the Irish potato il
"nutty" relish, besides being edible

bushels to the acre, all of it substantial
food and equally acceptable baked o

Colors Of Flowers.

Some distinctly interesting expert
ments are possible in connection with
the changing Of the colors of flowers,
writes Leonard Bastn in the June
Strand. Many kinds Of white flowers,
such as lilies Of the valley, hyacinths,
narcissi and almost any variety with
a succulent stem, may be altered in
this respect All that is necessary is
to steep the freshly cut stems in n
strong solution Of an aniline dye. Red
ink is good form Of one Of the bright
est Of these dyes, and an hour or so af-
ter placing the stalks in this material
the petals of the blooms will have be-
come vividly pink.

No less authority in electrical sci
ence than Thomas Edison is reported
to have said: "If electricity is a sub
stance or fluid of any kind, I have
not been able to find, see, weigh or in
any manner sense it." Electricians
and students Of physics generally, are
more and more inclined to the belief
that there is no such thing as electric
ity. The phenomenon known as cleo
trieity may be likened to an echo. The
impact of air waves, caused by the ex-
plosion of powder against trees, houses
or rocks, causes disturbance in the
aerial elements that produces sound.
sound is a rate of motion. 1t is claim
ed by some of the advanced thinkers
that there is o rate motion that will
always cause the effect known as cleo
tricity.-News item.
One hundred years ago all the men
of science would have pronounced the
prophet Of electricity a madman, a
fool or a crank.

according to the bureau Tor his mar
gin of profit is just about the same
now that il was twenty years ago. The
bureau demonstrates this by comparing
the average wholesale and retail prices
for two ten.year periods-1s93-19O2 and
10O3.1912.
It finds, for instance, that the price
of wheat advanced 80 per cent, the
wholesale price of flour 20 per cent
and the retail price 2S per cent. It is
evident that the middleman got no un-
due proportion of that advance. Steers
advanced "a per cent, the wholesale
price Of beef 90 per cent, the retail
price Of sirloin steak 10 per cent and
Of rib roast % per cent. Again it is
evident that the middleman did not
get the money. In hogs he seems to
have Jared somewhat better, although
it is doubtful IL the result averaged

however, advanced only 10 per cent,

LOYAL EX-SLAVES
ASK STATE s AID
Twenty-eight Aged Negroes, in
Petition, Say They Cast Their
Fortunes With South in War,

One Of the most pathetic petitions
ever presented TO a Georgia State
official was handed to the state Com
missioner Of Pensions by a delegation
OF aged negroes Thursday afternoon.
II is a prayer for aid from % men,
who, though they knew their hopes
for freedom lay with the North, fol-
lowed their Southern masters into the
battlefield The petition says:
Many times we could have escaped
and gone over to the enemies Of our
masters and our friends to freedom.
but we would not, for we felt that our
masters had placed in US a confidence
or they would not have carried us
along with them as bodyguards We
could not betray their confidence.
Therefore we stayed with them until
the great war was over, when we
were discharged without one cent to
make our way through the world. We
now are old and helpless and our last
resort IS 10 the Confederate States Of
America for small pension or dona-
ton for us old, broken-down, worn
out ex-slaves."
The laws Of Georgia make no pro-
vision for the ex-slaves who followed
their masters through the war. It
is probable that efforts viii be made

through the Legislature at the coming
session.
