Good Cheer, Order, Beauty
Prevailed in Home of the
Southern Woman Long Ago
In her social progresses she rode in
a velvet-lined coach drawn by four or
six horses—not one too many for the
mud holes to be pulled through in
those brave times, writes Octaviu Zol
icoflfer Bond in Southern Woman. Her
negro coachman, iD cloth coat and
irass buttons, who could be trusted
to drive her a hundred miles in safe
ty, skillfully handled the lines, while
liveried footmen swung jauntily to
the carriage straps behind, ready to
spring to the ground, open the door
and let down the folding steps at the
will of the mistress. As to her whole
some life at home, Thomas Nelson
Page has covered the case In assert
ing that “the system of living in the
South made the domestic virtues as
common as light and air.” House
wifely thrift and executive ability of
a high order made the home of the
Southern woman who was true to the
type an E^len for all who partook of
her hospitality. Good cheer, order and
beauty prevailed from the entrance
hall, Impressive with its array of an
cestral portraits, to the clean and am
ple kitchen and servants’ quarters.
The well-filled smokehouse, the poul
try yard astir with fowls, the pantry
supply of jelly, pickle, cordial,
“bounce” and preserves, the cellar
stocked with the choicest vintages of
the old world, and the garden growing
with every herb, vegetable and flower
known to the new, were results of the
industry of the lady bountiful of ye
oiden time. And, withal, the “swept
and garnished” guest rooms, as rarely
unoccupied as vacuums occur in nu-j
ture, were dainty with lavender scent
ed linens, waxed floors and polished
mahogany.
When a Child Is Noisy It’s
a Sign That It Is Healthy
When the child is quiet there Is
something wrong with it. It is sick
or doing something which it ought not1
to do. Noise and motion are normal
activities of a child, anything else is
abnormal. The “blessed little fellow’’
who hangs around his mother’s npron
strings all the time and doesn't speak
unless spoken to, or who doesn’t romp
and play with the other children and
make all manner of noises, is not j
right. It needs attention, says the
Dayton News.
Children commit a lot of nuisance. !
They provoke all of us by running j
over the lawn and breaking down the
flowers and making so much noise we
cannot hear ourselves think. It is an
noying to have a bunch of them yell
ing and shouting about our doors.
They get in the way with their roller
skates and disturb us when they ride
their bicycles upon the sidewalks. Rut
—what are we going to do about it?
It is natural, and vve must either sup
press the children, to their detriment
and to the detriment of the human
race, or grin and bear it, while regu
I lating them as best we may. The child
is a problem every minute of the day,
it is true, but we can’t carry on the
world if we curb them until they grow
up into abnormalities. Besides, the
cultivation of patience and concilia
tion upon our part will tend to sweet
en the environments for everybody.
Popular Idea Called Myth.
The popular notion that stars can
be seen in daylight from the bottom of
a deep well, mine shnft or chimney,
believed to have been first held by
Aristotle, is declared to be a myth by
a writer in the Journal of the British
Astronomical Association. The glare
of the atmosphere illuminated by the
sun’s rays renders the stars invisible
in tlte daytime and there is no reason
why tills glare should be sensibly di
minished by a well, mine shaft or chim
ney, lie says. Stars and planets can be
seen to some extent through a tele
scope In the daylight. In general the
latter are much less visible then than
the former. Tonus and Mercury, how
ever, are better observed In daylight
than in darkness. Red and yellow
stars are seen much more easily in day
light than white ones.
A Rare Spectacle.
“You say that campaign for sheriff
of this county is being conducted on
a high plane?’
“It couldn’t be more genteel if the
rival candidates were seeking the
presidency of a young ladies’ semin
ary.”
Looking Ahead.
“Now, this is
the kind of movie
I like. It’s educa
tional.”
“Why, it’s all
about a vampire.”
“Just so. I may
meet a vampire
some of these
days and then I'll
know how to pro
tect myself.”
Speedy Effect.
“It’s remarkable how liquor loosens
Bibbles’ tongue.”
“Oh. n great many men are affected
that way.”
“Rut Ribbles begins to get loqua
cious before the cork is out.”
More Goats Than Sheep.
“The pastor and his flock.”
“Itather a pretty idea, eh?’
“Yes, but while our pastor call him
self a shephard, I fear he is in reality
a goat-herd."_
| Things You May Not Know.
The starfish lias no nose, but the
I whole of Its underside is endowed with
a sense of smell.
Specimens of almost every precious
i mineral have been found in Spitz
bergen, but there are no signs, accord
ing to geologists, that precious min
erals exist in paying quantities.
Mexico has 15.000 miles of railway,
is 1,900 miles long from northwest to
southeast, and its width'varies from
MO to 750 miles. Its seacoast on the
Gulf of Mexico is 1.-400 miles long.
Roller skating in England is said to
date back to 1790.
The atmosphere of Zululand is so
clear that it is said objects can be seen
by starlight at a distance of seven
uiTles.
Naturalists have estimated that a
single crow can destroy about 700,000
insects in one year.
At five years camels are fit to
work; but their strength begins to de
cline at twenty-five years, although
they usually live to be forty.
Korea’s sacred mountain, Kongo-San.
or Diamond mountain, as it is more
commonly called, carries, it is claimed,
12,000 granite peaks, rugged and gro
tesque in form and almost impossible
of being scaled.
In Switzerland the goat is placed
ahead of all other animals. If a boy
plagues a gout he can be fined and
sent to prison. If a person meets a
goat on a path and drives him aside
he can be arrested. If a gout enters
the yard of a person not his owner,
and is hit with a club or stone, the
person guilty of the offense must pay
a fine.
There is a cat, owned by the keeper
of the Platte Fougere lighthouse, on
the Island of Guernsey, which, when
ever it wishes to enter its master's
dwelling, rings an electric bell. This
has been made possible by the con
struction. near the bottom of a door, j
of a shelf which actuates a switch
when a slight weight is placed upon
It. Thus, when the cat jumps to this
small ledge the circuit Is closed.
Tunics Are Established.
The tunic Is an established fact and
rather a convenient one. It gives the
economically inclined the chance of
wearing an old gown under a new as
pect, concocted out of two old ones.
Sometimes the tunic takes the form of
an apron, and the idea of a deeply
accentuated point in front has fur
thered the idea. An overskirt and
tunic now seem to he synonymous
terms and give a great variety of
choice; they both melt occasionally
into panniers und do not ignore tha
bustle.
Man was intended to labor by the Allwise Creator. Our mental and
physical make-up is such that occupation is essential to continued well
br'ng.
From the hunter, the fisherman and the rude agriculturist, man has
evolved a complicated civilization. There are thousands of occupations
today in plaee of the few primitive ones, but still the majority of these
center about the fulfilling of the primary necessities, feeding and clothing
mankind. ,
It has become impossible for the laborer to work under the conditions
which originally obtained. Besides the fields and forests, we have mine,
mill and mart.
Man has progressed mentally to a remarkable degree, but we cannot
say that of his physical development. However, his requirements are
much the same as those of our remote ancestors. Sunlight, fresh air,
pure water and physical exercise are absolutely essential to the mainte
nance of health.
If the conditions under which men and women labor do not make
this possible, they are detrimental to the individual and to society at
large, for upon the health of its people depends the ultimate future of
any nation. No machinery can entirely replace the sinews of labor.
To be healthy and happy, one must love his work.
Mother’s Cook Book
The pow»r to free one’s life front fret,
worry, disappointment or annoyance lies
largely within the option of everyone.
Some people are born to take cheerful
views, and those who are not may achieve
this happy faculty. It Is both a gift and
a grace. The observer of the dally rou
tine cannot fail to recognise that in all
the day’s evenls, as in nature, there Is
never a vacuum. If one is withheld an
other rushes In.
Good Eating for the Family.
Celery root Is not well enough ap
preciated. It may be put Into the cel
lar with the other root vegetables and.
If covered wHh dampened sand, will
keep all winter. To prepare It the
simplest method Is to cook it until
tender, remove nil of the outside lumps
nnd unsightly spots, cut In dice and
serve in a white sauce. To make an
other more elaborate but very pretty
dish, cook the roots, cool und trim
them, scoop out the Inside nnd fill with
chopped celery and cooked beets
mixed with mayonnaise. Serve one root
to each person. The inside portion
may he served finely chopped with
French dressing on lettuce a day or
two luter.
-
Boiled Ham.
Take a thick piece of ham, two or
three pounds, cover with water and
simmer two hours. Remove the skin,
put a few cloves into the fat, cover
with crumns mixed with sugar and
bake in n lint oven To minutes. The
carver likes I Ills, ns there are no hones
to avoid. When one has a small fam
ily such a roast is not too extravagant
and It may all he used. Any hits of
left-over ham may he mixed with
crumbs after chopping and used for
stuffing in green peppers. A talde
spoonful or two added to a thick
white sauce and served on toast makes
a good breakfast dish.
Chop fine a half pound of cooked
chicken, three ounces of cooked ham
and a hard-cooked egg. Mix this with
a half cupful of white sauce, beat
well and add one egg. Season with
salt and pepper, cook five minutes and
cool. Shape In cones and set each
cone on a cooked slice of celery root.
Serve with hot tomato sauce. Arrange
a ring of spinach In the center, or
swiss chard, well seasoned, may be
served with this dish.
Steamed Brown Bread.
Take two cupfuls of yellow corn
meal, a cupful of ryemeal, one cupful
of flour, two cupfuls of milk, one cup
ful of molasses, one half teaspoonful
of salt, three teaspoonfuls of baking
powder, all well mixed together. Pour
Into a well-greased mold and steam
for four hours. Dried fruit of any kind
may be added If liked.
