Crude A Column Thoughts Home Dedicated As They : to Tired Fall Circle | Mothers From the As They Editorial Join the Pen:— Depart- Home Pleasant Circle at venin vening Reveries. | Ment. | Tide, It is a sad thing to begin life with low conceptions of it. It may not be possibleifor a young man to measure life ; but it it possible to say, “I am re- solved to put life to its noblest and best use.” There is no such thing as man’s rights and woman's rights separate and distinet from each other. Woman's rights are simply human rights. The sexes belong to each other ; what bene- fits one helps the other; what elevates either up-lifts both. Man is the out- door and woman the indoor partner in the firm of humanity. THE FAMILY. The first: requisite for a beautiful family life is perfect confidence and understanding between the husband and wife, based upon a profound re- spect and deep devotion. The d requisite is children—not a child, but many. Those who have only one child are thankful that they are not child- less, and those who have more than one child are thankful, for they know that brothers and sisters can do many good things for each other that seem beyond the reach of fathers and moth- ers. They give the salutary compan- ionship of equals, the frank rebuke, the vigorous tussle for supremacy that strengthens tbe mental and moral. Brothers and sisters protect, stimulate and eddcate each other. One who has thought deeply on the subject of the child in the home, writes: “If obedience responds to authority, confidence responds to kindness. To obtain obedience, awaken confidence— all education lies in this. Let our children obey us, but let them never fear to open their hearts to us. Above all things, let us give them no cause to doubt us or lose confidence in us. “There is one sure refuge on earth, where we ever find open arms and un- tiring: ears, where our joys and sor- rows alike have their echo, a refuge we never seek in vain nor leave uncon- soled—the heart of a mother or a father. Let us maintain its reputation and be for our children a gracious sanctuary, a high and tranquil retreat. It is so good to have a shelter for our heads, to know where to go to tell the tale of what is weighing on our hearts.” GOOD ADVICE. The following was written by a grandmother who highly appreciates our Home Cirele Department. Her advice is certainly good, and we gladly give it space.—(Ed.) As I am verging on the land of dot- age and am much of a child myself, the children will excuse me if I “air” a few of my opinions. All children, from the tiny prattler to the blooming maiden and happy, frolicsome young man, have a tender place in my heart. I have a great many friends among them. They are to me what the sun is to the flower, and what the flower is to the bee ; and with- out them life would be as blank as a snow-capped mountain. I would love to take each one of you by the hand, and tell you how much I love you; but my pen will record the feeling of my heart. Dear children, I hope you all realize what a treasure you have in the mother love that cares for you so tenderly. So many miss the deep, speechless love on which their lives have been nourished and hunger and thirst for it. Father is tender in his solitude, but there is ne love like mother’s. If angels walk the earth and keep special eyes on little children, they must be sad when so many little ones call in vain for mamma. If you want to be happy, forget your- gelves and think of some one else; and, if possible, do something for some one else. Read to an old lady; send a bunch of flowers to a sick friend; dry the tears of a lonely child; say a kind word to a poor, discouraged washer- woman; speak with a voice which shames the whine and whimpers of another. The coming of spring, the blooming of flowers is not more welcome than the girl who carries with her the atmos- phere of cheer. I wish I had spaee to tell you the comfort the cheerful, pure- minded girl is in her own home. How dearly she is loved! How eagerly we listen for her footsteps and the sound of her voice! It is beautiful to see the returns some boys and girls make their parents for all their toil and sacrifice for the years of patient trials endured for them! The boy or girl who is ashamed of old-fashioned parents has fallen below contempt. FOR DISCOURAGED MEN. Cheer up! The world is taking your photograph. Look pleasant. Of course, you have your troubles—troubles you cannot tell the policeman. A whole lot of things bother you, of course, business worries or domestic sorrows, they may be. You find life a rugged road. Nev- ertheless, cheer up! It may be your real disease is selfish- ness—ingrown selfishness. Your life is too self-centered. You imagine your tribulations are worse than others bear. You feel sorry for yourself—the meanest sort of pity. It is a pathetic illusion. Rid yourself of that, and cheer up! What right have you to carry a pic- ture of your woe-begone face and funer- al ways about among your fellows, who have troubles of their own? If you must whine or sulk or scowl, take to the woods or to the unfrequented lanes. Cheer up! Your ills are largely im- aginary. If you were really on the brink of bankruptcy, or if there were no thoroughfare through your sorrows, you would clear your brows, set your teeth and make the best of it. Cheer up! You are making a hypo- thetical case out of your troubles, and suffering from a self-inflicted verdict. You are borrowing trouble, and paying a high rate of interest. Cheer up! Why, man alive, in a ten- minute walk you may see a score of people worse off than you. And here you are digging your own grave, and playing pall-bearer into the bargain. Man, you must do your work. Smile, even though it be through your tears, which speedily dry. SON LOST MOTHER. “Consumption runs in our family, and through it I lost my Mother,” writes E. B.

Editors of country papers have been surprised lately at receiving from some source a proposition to furnish them supplements of good reading matter free of charge, they only to agree to run the supplement as a part of their papers. A few accepted the offer. The first supplement contained hidden in the reading matter an attack on the parcels post, which the express com- panies are fighting with might and main. The second contains a veiled attack on President Roosevelt's rail- road policy. . ' The head lines of this article quote Senator Elkins as “willing to co-oper- ate with President Roosevelt in pass- ing satisfactory measures to control the railroads,” but the body of the ar- ticle gives the Senator's well-known pro-railroad views. It isn’t polite to look a gift horse in the mouth, but this seems to be one of the cases where po- liteness is not to be considered.—Ne- braska State Journal, Lincoln, Neb, Oct. 5, 1905. Will Be Grasping Wherever He Goes. We knew him as “Old Twelve Per Cent”—the more he made the less he spent—the more he got the more he lent—he’s dead—we don’t know where he went—but if his soul to heaven was sent—he’ll own the harps and charge em rent.—Lanark (Ill.) Gazette. Or if perchance he went to hell, the place into which satan fell, there'll soon from hell arise this bawl: “Old Twelve Per Cent owns this place all!” Then he will try to eut a swell, and rent the place or try to sell. ea That All Depends. A young man died over at Oregon, last week, and the only thing he left was a silver watch. It won’t take long to wind up his estate.—Lansrk (Ill) Gazette.

The Forest Service Studies the Sub- ject for the Purpose of Finding and Encouraging the Meth- ods Whieh Give the Best Results. Drying is an essential part of the preparation of wood for manufacture. For a long time the only drying pro- cess used or known was air drying, or the exposure of wood to the gradual drying influence of the open air. Kiln- drying, which is an artificial method, originated in the effort to improve or shorten the process. By subjecting the wood to a high temperature, or to a draught of heated air, in a confined space or kiln, time is saved and a cer- tain degree of control over the drying conditions is secured. There are two points in the manu- facture of lumber at either of which it may be kiln-dried. With softwoods, for instance, itis a common practice to kiln-dry the lumber at the sawmill before it is shipped. This practice, however, is ill adapted for hardwoods, in which it would produce such check- ing and warping as would greatly re- duce the value of the product. In practice, therefore, hardwoods are more or less thoroughly air dried be- fore being placed in the kiln, where the residue of moisture may be reduced to between 3 and 4 per cent., which is much lower than is possible by air dry- ing only. Yet another practice obtains in the case of a few woods which give up their moisture very slowly. With these woods, of which cypress is an ex- ample, the kiln is resorted to both at the sawmill and at the factory where they are remanufactured. Kiln-drying is so important a process that a need is keenly felt for fuller in- formation regarding it, based upon scientific study of the behavior of vari- ous kinds of woods at different temper- atures and under different mechanical drying devices. In the effort to de- velop it to the highest efficiency, a variety of methods have been employ- ed, but as yet these methods have not been carefully compared with a view to ascertaining which of them is best adapted to each special requirement of species or of manufacture. The Forest Service has began a study of the dry- kilns throughout the country, first, to acquaint itself with the methods now in vogue, and second, to map out such improvements of the kiln-drying pro- cess as may render it in the highest. degree satisfactory and profitable. Mr. Frederick Dunlap, of the Office of Forest Producte, in the Forest Ser- vice, who was assigned to this study, has during the past weeks inspected kiln-drying methods in the States of Indiana and Wisconsin, and in the city of Chicago. He found manufacturers disposed to aid the study by all means in their power. In Indiana, a hardwood region, the prevailing method of kiln-drying is based upon the use of steam pipes, which supply the dry heat required in the kiln. The pipes run on the floor of the kiln, and the lumber is placed over them. The radiated heat from the pipes dries the lumber. In Wisconsin softwoods are more wridely manufac- tured, and blower kilns are more gener- ally used. In these air is pumped by means of a circular fan through a steam coil and so heated, and then passes on to the chamber in which the lumber is piled. After passing through this chamber, the air is sometimes re- turned to be reheated, and sometimes allowed to escape. In connection with the further study of kiln-drying processes, attention will be given to the value of the prepara- tory steaming of wood before the kiln- drying is begun. For this purpose work is planned in cooperation with firms which are interested in experi- ments to determine the value of steam treatment. BIRDSEYE VIEW OF SALISBURY. Something that Ought to Interest Salisbury People Who Have Located Elsewhere. Tae Star has for sale a limited num- ber of very fine pictures of Salisbury, size 22x32 inches, printed on extra heavy, smooth paper, from a very fine engraving. The sketching was done by T. M. Fowler, of Morrisville, Pa., who is an expert in his line and has been following his business in many differ- ent states of the Union. The picture is very clear and dis- tinct, showing all the streets plainly marked, and those familiar with the town can plainly recognize every build- ing in it. The pictures have sold like ‘hot cakes” here, and a limited number have been placed with THE STAR to supply those at a distance, who may desire them. Every former citizen of Salisbury ought to have one of these fine engrav- ings, as they show the progress the old town has been making, which has been very great. in recent years. But we cannot supply them alljand those who apply first will get them. The picture includes West Salisbury, the surround- ing landscape and some of the farm houses in the immediate vicinity, also a large number of the principal build- ings printed around the margin of the engraving, from special drawings. Price, $1.50 per copy, plus 7 cents to pay postage. Address Tug Star, Elk Lick, Pa. tt Ril. jo a bin
