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.

“RREE” SUPPLEMENTS.
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.

THE KILN DRYING OF WOOD.
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
