MODERN SOCIETY
It is in the home that woman rises
to her truest heights and wields her
widest influence. Every home is a
miniature world, and the wite is a
crowned queen. The wife who
makes society the of ber accom
plishments soons finds her husband
a devoted club man. The woman
who fills her head with many ideas
and pleasures of much that is call
ed society, soon wants to entertain |
her husband, any evening she may
have some other engagement,
with cards She plays just as she
•dicl to win some prize at progressive
euchre or whist parties. She
cheats a little, and they have a
spat over it, and then another and
another, and presently she fires,
something at his head, but misses'
it and hits the motto over the door,!
God Bless Our Home."Their lit
tle boy says: "Ma you missed pa's
head, but you gave the motto hail
Columbia." Often the only ques
tion to be decided in that home is,
"who shall have the boy?" and the
court is asked to decide it. God
, pity the woman who has set her
heart on modern society.
MINISTER TO THE SICK.
It is a grand, good and beautiful
thing to minister to the sick —to
the wants of those laid low by
~ affliction, and doubtless there is
not a human being but will ac
knowledge this fact, but it never so
forcibly strikes us as when we our
selves, are lying prostrated by di
sease. How many times have we,
when suffering almost unbearable
pain, or tossing with binning fever,
resolved that if ever we did get well
again, we would do all we could for
the sick It is a sad pity that with
returning health our good resolu
tions oftentimes flee away. It is
not expected that busy mothers be
Florence Nightingales, to go out
and nurse wounded soldiers and in
deed this is not a.t all necessary, for
they can find sick onek nearer. In
almost every ueighhood there is
one, perhaps more, whose well days
are oveij. They aie usually spoken
of as invalTd, and so accustomed
arewe to theirbeingsiekthat wemay
oftentimes seem indifferent to their
suffering and-confinement. But to
them it never grows old, and much
is the good, right here, that «e
can do. Many and varied are the
ways we can help them, these Un
fortunate ones. In fact, anything
which we may do for ttJem in love,
will be sure to be appreciated and
will be seed sowed in good ground
A bunch of flowers, a new book or
magazine, a dainty morsel frotu our
tableall of these are trifles, but
may brighten up their dreary lives;
and then we should visit them, or
if they live at a distance we should
write them a tender, sympathetic,
though cheerful letter,
THE HUMAN HEART
The subject of heart is one that
gets very near to us all. The
heart is the center of all our feel-
V, (
ings. It is the scale in which we
weigh the acts of our friends, and
ought to weigh our own. It is the
bar at which we judge our enemies-
It is the fountain head of all our
thoughts and deeds. It is the safe
deposit where we treasure up all
the sweet memories of the past, and
the tablet on which is marked the
scars of ill-treatment. It is the
captain of the little craft in which
we jouruey down the stream of
life. It is the dwelling place of
the soul —that indestructible spirit
ual life that dwells within us.
There are glad hearts, and - sad
hearts, and hearts that are broken.
Did you ever think that no human
being was ever born whose destiny
was not linked with the heart of
some one else. There is the
mother's solicitude for her child;
the heart is its abiding place. The
two hearts are bound together by
the tender cords of affection, and
no distance that separates them can
break this binding force.
The head is a receptacle in which
to store knowledge; the heart is a
monitor that directs that know
ledge." The glad hearts! How
welcome they are in this old world!
The hearts that wear a smiling
face and extend the glad hand!
They scatter sunshine wherever
they go. They inspire us with
good thoughts and the desire to do
noble things. They smooth down
the rough places in life. They re
move the obstacles from our paths,
and sweeten the pleasures of this
old world _j
Then there are the heartthats are
sad, and appeal to our sympathies.
} They water our own hearts with
I their tears and keep alive the spirit
jof love and compassion. Tbey,
I too, have their God-given purposes.
And what shall we say of the ach
ing.hearts? The mother's heart
that aches for her wayward boy,
the wife's heart that yearns for a
caress from an erring husband.
What can equal a mother's love for
the boy? You boys have grown up
from tender babies under a mothei's
watchful care. Ah. boys, how
many heartaches do you cause that
dear old mother! I)o you realize
the world of affection in a mother's
heart? What jov can you have in
her sorrow? What pleasure in ber
pain? Stop, m>' lad, and think of
your mother's heart. You have it
in your power to make it glad, or
make it sad. Let your heart warm
to hers as it did when a babe in her
arms. Kindly stroke the gray
hairs 011 her head and assure her
that in your heart there is seated a
deep and lasting love aud reverence
for her.
Do you know that this subject of
hearts is the grandest one on earth?
The more you study it the longer it
grows. It is as broad as the earth,
as high as heaven and as deep as
the unfathomable abyss. Hearts
are the trump cards 111 life, and the
ticket we must present at the door
of heaven.
The heart is the book keeper of
our actions. * How do you keep it?
Is it clean and pure enough for
public inspection, or is it scarred
over with bad thoughts and worse
deeds? Ah. keep thy heart dili
gentlyfor out of it are the issues of
life.
This is vv'iat Hon. Jake Moore,
State Warden of Georgia, says of
Kodol For Dyspepsia: "K. C. De-
Witt & Co., Chicago. 111. Dear
Sirs—l have suffered more than
twenty years from indigestion.
About eighteen months ago I bad
grown so much worse that I could
not digest a crust of corn bread
and could not retain anything on
mv stomach. I lost 2511J5; in fact
I made up my mind that I could
not live but a short time, when a
friend of mine recommended Kodol.
I consented to try it to please him
and was better in one dav. I now
weigh more than I ever did in my
life and am in better health than
for many vears. Kodol did it. I
keep a bottle constantly, and write
this hoping that humanity may be
benefitted. Yours very truly. Jake
C. Moore. Atlanta, Aug. io, 1904".

HINTS FOR FARMERS
Grinding Corn For Hogs.
For the past ulne years the Wlscon
sin experiment station lias been eon
r ducting tests to determine whet he
grinding corn for hogs Is desirable
II In the tests previous to HXKt-04 mid
dilngs were fed with the corn. Tha
e year corn was fed alone, but the re
Milts were so unsatisfactory ns re
' gards thrift, appetite, gains nnd feei
consumed per pound o» gain thnt 1
was not considered dPßlrable to oiul
middling* In subsequent years.
The results have varied 11 little fron
year to year, but considering the aver
Hge of all the tests 117 hogs fed drj
nholled eorn a rid wheat middling
made an average trni 11 of 90.8 poundi
each, while an equal number fed corn
- iuu.il ami wheat middlings gained IIP '
pounds each, the feed required pel
pound of gain in .the two cases l>eln|
r>.ll) pounds and 1.88 pounds. The say
lug from grinding, therefore, hti
amounted to 5.7 per cent.

" The. food problem Is the greatest proh
