"The Souls Spring Cleansing"

"The Souls Spring Cleansing Yes. clean yer house, an clean yer
 shed, An clean yer barn in ev'ry part; But brush the cobwebs from yer head An sweep the snowbanks from yer
 heart. Yes, wen spring cleanin' comes
 aroun'
 Bring forth the duster an the
 broom, But rake yer fogy notions down, An sweep yer dusty soul of gloom, Sweep ol ideas out with the dust, An dress yer soul in newer style; Scrape from yer min it's worn out
 crust An dump it in the rubbish pile. Sweep out the hates that burn an'
 smart,
 Bring in new loves serene an pure; Aroun' the hearthstones of the heart Place modern styles of furniture. Clean out yer morrill, cubby- holes, Sweep out the dirt scrape off the
 scum: '-is cleanin' time for healthy souls Git up an dust! The spring hez
 come. Clean out the corners of the brain, Bear down with scrubbin' brush an

tain man carried a sack under which he sroaned and complained eternally. From none could he take help or com fort. And as he slowly journeyed along, toiling under his heavy burden the Angel Of Knowledge came to him and spoke kindly, saying:
 What earliest thou?''
 The man answered. surlily:
 My worries"
 The angel smiled pityingly upon him and said:
 Let us look into your pack and e1- anime your worries"
 They looked in, but 10! the sack was empty.
 Surely" cried the man. there were two great worries, too heavy for a man to bear. But, oh yes. one was worry other, a worry of tomorrow, and, that is not here yet
 Then the angel smiled at the man with infinite pity and said: Listen. He who bows himself under the wor- ries of yesterday and tomorrow wears himself out for naught, but he who carries only the worries of today hath 10 need of a sack to hold his worries. r. thou wilt cast this black thing aside l dIu SlFc AlI lHy> StIeISlu anu CIlScE and courage to the things of today, real misfortune can never overcome ithee."
 Whereupon the man did as the good angel commanded. Then he took up l his journey and went swiftly on, his l heart and hands were free to relieve many other wayfarers of their burdens
 and to pluck for himself sweet fruits
 and flowers along the roadside. And 1 when he came at last to the setting of l the sun it was with smiles and a song i Now, suppose we review our worries i How many/ef them are really worries of today? ?--Ars they not for the most part worries over conditions or events already past! Or these which we fear l are to eone2 1 And including past years in our re- view, how many of the troubles, phy- sical, financial social or domestic l which We so confidently anticipated really came upon .usg Did not many gradually disappear as we approached

cAYEMNE-FED cAhARIEs.

The first intimation of cayenne feed present time is as far ahead of his plain brothers. as the electric light is of the old time tallow dip.
 The first intimatfon of cayenne ing was discovered by trifling acei- dent. Experiments Weremade with saf- iron, cornmeal, port wine and beet roots, but all were intellectual. At last by an accident, the simple coloring agent was discovered to be cayenne pepper. In order to obtain best results only the best grade must be used.
 At the head of the canaries for col bring stands the English or Norwich breed. They are of a deep rich yellow, and will more richly take on the blood red orange color.
 There are various ways of feeding it cayenne, but l have used it in the fol- lowing manner with fine results: With one hard boiled egg mix ap equal quantity of pulverized sweet bread, or Zweibac add q lleaping tablespoon of cayenne pepper. Mix well together and sprinkle with q little granula ted sugar. The treatment should be com 1 menced at the age of two months, or at the beginning of the first moult. Two small teaspoons a day is suffi- cient for one bird, feeding seeds spar ] ingly during the eeloring process. A | daily treatment for two weeks should | set the color.
 I breed from imported males of the 1 English stock, to get the much de- sired bloodred color. My young ! singers sold for ten dollars each, in | good times when birds were cheap. i In order to have them retain their color the next season they should be 1 fed the mixture in June or during the next moult

 beautiful color of the blood orange. l hope some Of the Sisters who raise i birds will try the treatment even or the common yellow variety and let us know the result There surely mus be some who belong to the clubs who
 are interested in bird raising.

Dear Sisters of the Social Corner: Could you have stood with us on the Green the afternoon of April 18th. and witnessed the 102d band of S5 pieces
 as they paid their tribute to the names

 Thanks are due Sister Potlatcb fo1 her most interesting letter describing the Veterans home. Bremer. and the allusion to the cemetery near Olympia We are nearing the day when all honor their soldier dead-the 30th of May. l also wish to thank Reader for the message Kitty Lou so kindly sent. appreciate all it means.
 Dear Sisters, have you thought per- haps the man on the corner" may be wise to our idiosyncrasies? He fur rishes me many a hearty laugh. I hope I see the jokes as well as the sugges- tions.

Come, smile again with confidence,
 Look up and smile, my dear, It is no use to sigh. and drone away
 The time, because of fear. There is ever hanging over us,
 Our fate whate'er it be,
 A meek acceptance when it comes
 Is better far for you and me. Is death an awful monster,
 That you tremble at His call? Just meet him with a friendly smile, You'll find a friend. that's all Hes the truest friend you have today The greatest in the land When suffering agonies of pain, He simply takes you by the hand.

OPPOSE
EXTRA SESSION

JACKSON, Miss, Aug. 49, (Spl)-
Vigorous protests are being made by
members Of the Mississippi legislature
against the proposed extra session to
be called by Gov. Bilbo during the early
autumn, and the governor is facing an
instruction among the lawmakers with
the possibility that a quorum may fail
to respond to his call.
The charge is being openly made that
the governor is engaging In camouflage
and subterfuge; that in issuing the call
Tor the extra session he will not be
prompted by a desire TO dispose Of the
suffrage question, but the real reason
for converting the lawmakers will be to
secure large appropriations to be ex-
pended during the remainder OF his ad-
m~inistration.
In support of this charge 1t is point
ed out that the Mississippi Suffrage as
ISOLATION has not requested Gov. Bilbo
to call the legislature in extra session
10 frame a constitutional amendment
that will safeguard suffrage for women
by eliminating the negro women vote;
that the leaders of the suffrage or
ganization, without a single exception,
not only regard the time as inoppor-
tune, but they lave no faith in the
present legislative membership, which
twice rejected the measures to confer
suffrage on women, and they do not
believe the body would, even In face
of the federal amendment, do anything
whatever TO facilitate the cause.
