Mistral, the great Provencal poet, whose death was announced lately, has been likened to Robert Burns for the work he did. But Burns' task was child's play compared with Mis tral's. The Scottish poet found his language fully grown and completely alive; Mistral had to create his means of expression. Provencal had lost ev ery resemblance to a literary tongue, | and the new poet-patriot had to mold j it afresh, to recreate and to build ud on the ruins left by the vineyard and the farm. "Our Provencal," said Mis- 1 tral, "was a country lass ragged and ; wild." She is now a wonderfully beau- | tiful creature; but it is doubtful whether all the genjus of Mistral can keep her alive. The educational re former in France, does not like such irregular beauty. DiM?M/nDM iTnurn tcddiqi v UIKUKUnill IIUIILU I UIU1IUUI 1545 Aisquith St., Baltimore, Md.? "My children were afflicted with what they called ringworm of the scalp contracted from a house-cat they were playing with. The ringworm formed on their scalps about the size of a silver dollar and their hair fell out, leaving a round scale or crust on their scalps. Their hair fell out In round spots. There was terrible itching, and they scratched till the blood came. They were very fretful and could not sleep at night, and they were very cross. "They were treated for several months with no improvement whatso ever. I was told they would never have any hair and would always be bald.

If you haven't i bit-and-hitstock with which tb bore he hole, you can make a small hole vith a nail or screw-'eye, and then en arge it to the .right size with a sharp cnife or small compass saw. Make he perch below the opening triangu ar in shape, and fasten it to the boa vith short nails. ^ Fpr the roof cut l piece of board of the right measure nents to make a projection of about in inch over the front and sides of he box, and nail it to the top edges. The two-compartment house in Fig. I is made of a box about 12 inches ong, 8 inches wide and 6 inches *eep. The box is divided in the center of ts length by a partition, and a door vay is cut through one side of the >ox into each of the two compart nents thus formed (Fig. 3). Fasten a stick parallel with both ong sides of the box, for perches, lupporting the ends upon a pair of iticks nailed to the ends of the box, n the manner shown in Fig. 3. Figure 2 shows how the box may be astened to the top of a post support. sTail a pair of cross pieces to the bot om of the box at a distance apart >qual to the width of the post, and Irive nails through the sides of the :ross pieces into the post.

Neely Hall) THINGS TO MAKE WITH PAPER D/->Dir By DOROTHY PERKINS. There is a brand new idea for mak 1 ing pretty baskets, trays and boxea, 3 and I ara going to tell you all about 1 it because the work is very easy to c do and you will find it a great deal of , fun. All that you need are some card board boxes for the foundations of the articles, crepe paper out of which to twist rope strands for covering ma terial, glue and some light wire for handles. You can buy the crepe pa per at almost any stationery store. In fact strands of paper rope are sold ready twisted, but you can twist them Just as well yourself and have the fun of doing it, saving money be sides. Buy a roll of crepe paper of any color you may select. A chocolate brown Is pretty for the articles here described. Open the roll of crepe paper and cut the entire length into eight strips of equal width. That will make strip! about two and a half inches wide. To prepare the rope strands, first take a single strip, pinch one end in a door jamb and make a loop in the opposite end through which to slip a pencil. Then twist the pencil from right to left as indicated in Fig. 1, pulling firmly as you twist to make the twists even and tight. When the strip haa been tightly twisted from end to end, remove it from the door, and twist a second strip in a like manner. Then placing an end of each of the two twisted strips together, pinch them in the door jamb, slip a pencil in loops made in the opposite ends, and twist the two strands together, twist ing from left to right as indicated in Fig. 2. , , The cover to a large sized card board box?one having a narrow rim ?is needed for the serving tray shown in Fig. 4. It requires a pair of handles, and these are made of pieces of light wire bent into loops, with the ends pierced through the ends of the rim of the box cover, bent over and twisted as shown in Fig. 5. With the handles in place, wrap them with a piece of crepe paper and then with the paper rope. Lap and paste a strip of crepe pa per over the edge of the box to coa ceal it. Then coat the outside sur face of .the rim with glue, and start ing at the bottom wrap a strand of the paper rope around and around the box, pushing each row of the rope close against the preceding row (Fig. 3). When the top of the rim has been reached, coat the inside surface of the rim with glue, run the rope over the rim and wind it around the in side; then coat the inside of the bot tom with glue and wind the strand of rope around and around, working in from the outside rim until the center is reached. Cover the outside of the bottom in the same way, and the tray will be finished. Select a small square cardboard box for the little basket shown in Fig. 7. Then, first of all, make its long handle out of a piece of wire, stick the end? of the wire loop through the bottom i of the box, in opposite corners, bend 3 up over the outside of the box, and 1 twist as shown in Fig. 8. Wrap the i wire with a piece of crepe paper, then with the paper rope, and when the t handle has been completed cover the ? tray inside and out with the rope, i winding it around the surfaces in the J manner described for covering the serving tray. PALMETTO TROOPS ENCAMP IK STATE CANNOT PARTICIPATE IN THE AUGUSTA MOBILIZATION ORDERED. DESPATCHES FROM COLUMBIA Doings and Happenings That Mark the Progress of South Carolina Peo ple, Gathered Around the State Capitol. Columbia. Companies of the National Guard of South Carolina will not particpate in the instruction camp of the Ninth division at Augusta, according to a telegram recei\ 3d by Adjt. Gen. Moore from Adjt. Gen. Simpson, U. S. A., Governor's Island, N. Y. The companies will attend a state en campment, under the te^rms of the order issued. The camp will prob ably be held at Camp Wilie. Jones, near Styx, in Lexington county. A movement wai launched in Charleston to secure the camp for the Isle of Palms. The companies of the Na tional Guard from Georgia, North Car olina and Florida will encamp at Augusta. According to the order, a company of United States troops will encamp with the South Carolina companies. It is presumed that the order of the war department was issued follow ing the statement by the governor that he would at a later date decide about the trip to Augusta. The com manding officers of the three regi ments have been called to meet in Columbia, Saturday, when the situa tion will be discussed. Adt Gen. Moore received the fol lowing telegram: "Troops your state can not partici pate joint encampment, Augusta, Ga. Discontinue efforts this direction. Se lect site for camp within your staie. Notify this office soon as possiDie 01 location and most convenient period for camp any and state troops that will participate. Regular troops will encamp ten days, commencing July 1, successively North Carolina, South Carolina, Georgia and Florida." The telegram was referred by Adjt. Gen. Moore to the governor for action. No announcement has been made by the governor as to where the camp will be held in South Carolina. Several days ago the governor raised an objection to the South Carolina trops attending the camp at Au gusta. State's Picture Lease Is Out - - * 1-4.1 4Va The National Associauuu iur tuc Study and Prevention of Tuberculosis has been employing many methods for awakening the public conscience to the danger of the disease and for training the public to prevent itu spread. The Associated Charities of Columbia was fortunate in procuring the loan of two motion picture films, "Hope" and "The Price of Human Life," which were shown in the Col umbia theatres a few weeks ago. The office planned a careful itiner ary for showing these pictures in some of the larger towns of the state, and they were shown in several of these towns to large and enthusiastic audi ences. It is regretted by the Associ ated Charities of Columbia, however, that, through several delays, the time of loan has expired before some of the towns had an opportunity to see them. Nevertheless, there is little doubt that these two attractive films have awakened several towns to act ive interest in the fight, and less doubt that the whole state Is awaken ing to a keen interest in the problem. The free tuberculosis dispensary of the Associated Charities of Columbia has laready mapped out a tuberculosis camp, which will demonstrate to the state what can be done for tubercu lar patients. The ground for this camp has been loaned by an interested citi zen; another has contributed the lum ber, and a local architect has drawn the plans. Carolinian Awards Prizes.

He urges that the secretary of each club come to his office to receive in formation as they desire. As the books must be opened by today week Mr. Sloan requests that the secre taries call at his office for them Tate at Columbia College. The final exercises of Columbia Col lege commencement were held recent ly with the literary address by W. K. Tate of Nashville and the awarding of medals and the conferring of degrees. Mr. Tate, upon being introduced, said that he desired to leave off the terms "literary" and "address." and make a heart to heart talk to the young wo n)-?n of the graduating class. He pro ceeded to do this in his own inimita tie way. His subject was the oppor tunities opening up to an educated Christian young woman. Experts Advise Calti# Experts. As a result of the appropriation by the general assembly, the fight on the cattle tick in South Carolina is to be gin at an early date. During the seven area of 198,802 square miles has been ment of agriculture has been cam paigning against the tick fever, which annually kills more cattle in the South than all other diseases combined, an arear of 198,802 square miles has been freed from the tick. Details of this work against a disease that is estimat ed to cost the American farmers $40, 000,000 a year are printed in a new circular of the department of agricul ture entitled, "Effects of Tick Eradi cation on the Cattle Industry of the South." Now comes the question, What plan is best for farmers in these redeemed areas to improve their stock? The following are some of the depart ment's suggestions in brief: Carpeting Pastures: j.. uei cerrauaa or carpel grass started on all pastures.. Improve the pastures further by sowing some les pedeza and bur clover on the uplands and some aislke clover, white clover and paspalum dilatatum on the bot tom lands. 2. Grow more hay and other forage on which to winter the stock; or, if a farmer has as many as 50 or 75 cattle, erect a silo. 3. Bring in good bulls of the beef breeds to use for grading up the na tive cattle. Do not try to raise pure breds to begin with. 4. If not able to buy a bujl for in dividual use, form a bull club and let each member buy stock in the bull ind place him on some central farm; or let one man buy the bull and the others obligate themselves to breed their cows to that bull. 5. Form a community club or a county live stock association so that members may exchange bulls every two years In order to get the maxi mum service from a bull without breeding him to his offspring. The members of a club should agree on what breed they want to use and all get bulls of the same breed in order that the community may develop a trade and make a reputation as grow ers of this breed. o. ii cne oun is young, ao not let 'iim run with the cows, but keep him in separate pasture and give him ottp feed each day so as to keep him growing. , 7. Do not let a young bull serve a cow but once. One service is often better than a half dozen. 8. Heifers of the beef breeds should not drop calves until they are at least 30 months of age and should be bred accordingly. 9. Breed the cows so as to calve during February, March and April. The natural sequence of the forma tion of community clubs for breed ing and raising cattle will be the co operative shipping to such markets as show the greatest demand for the class of cattle to be sold. In counties where the farmers are largely rais ing one breed of cattle it is not hard to induce buyers to come, provided there is considerable stock for sale. One county might make a specialty of raising cattle for stocker and feeder purposes, while another might finish the cattle in the feed lots if conditions for this are favorable. The quality of cattle should improve constantly, and if it does the prices paid for them will also increase. Likes System Used By Watscui.

These men will probably start their work in Greenville county, and will work along with James A. Hayne, M. D., state health officer, who was con nected with Dr. Carter in canal zone. The character of the work will be thoroughly practical. They will visit a community and personally inves tigate the sources of malaria or the Dreeding places of the mosquito. They will estimate the cost for a commun ity to be mosquito free, and will hold public meetings where the people of the various localities may obtain first hand scientific information in regard to the malaria and general health conditions in their immediate neigh borhood. Should a community desire to undertake the work of mosquito elimination, its sole expense will be the actual cost of the work, intomtional suwscnool Lesson (By O. E. SELLERS, Director of Even ing Department The Moody Bible Insti tute of Chicago.) LESSON FOR JUNE 14 THE FRIEND OF SINNERS. LESSON TEXT-Luke 18:9-14; 19:1-10. GOLDEN TEXT?"I came not to call the righteous but sinners." Mark 2:17. The first section of our lesson Is the beginning of a new paragraph (see R. V.) and contains one of the Mas ter's best-known parables. Immedi ately preceding this is the parable of the unjust judge and the Importunate widow. We are plainly told (v. 9) why the Master spake this parable. It is easy to say that thoee who trust ed in their own righteousness and "set all others at naughtv (R. V.) were the Pharisees, but such is not the case; and this parable Is a warning to ue, lest we also trust our own righteous ness (Isa. 64:6). Using this particu lar class as a background, Jesus paints, in words of simple grandeur, a picture quite familiar throughout the t ages. In it he reveals the falsenesi of human standards and declares the judgment of heaven. The contrast is vivid. Let us look at (1) the Phari see. The illuminating phrase is in the words "he prayed with himself" (v. 11). Ostentatiously the Pharisees separated themselves from their fel low men and this separation seems to have extended even into his prayer life, and he is withdrawn from God also. This is an appalling picture of the man who trusts only himself. Examine his prayer and we see the supposed prayer is really a paean of self-exaltation. It Is true he begins by ascribing it to the Deity, but he ascribes no praise to God, no thank fulness for blessings received; indeed, he ignores God throughout after the Introduction. On the other hand, his only recognition of other men is' that of contempt for them. He Is con cerned altogether with his.own ex cellencies and with the' delinquencies of others. "I am not as the rest of men" (v. 11 R. V.). He extols proper irtues of morality, religiousness, or thodoxy and generosity, but went away unsaved. Humility of Heart. (2) The Publican regarded himself as "the sinner" (v. 13 R. V. marg.). He knew he was'a great, an irrelig ious offender against law and grace. He had sacrificed everything to ac quire money. He comes with no out ward show except an abundant evi dence of the ehame and humility of his heart. He also was excluded from men but not from God. Burdened with the sense of his sin, he casts him self upon the mercy of God. He is absolutely devoid of any truBt in him self, any contempt for others, and makes a straight, earnest, passionate abandonment of himself and his need I to God. He goes away "justified" (judged right). Why? Because, he had taken the right place, a sinner's place before God, and found pardon. No one who-claims a place before God because he is a righteous man will be justified in his sight. The true way to God is the one of the Publican, j not Uiai ui Lilt; ruanBcc. ' fl. The Second Section is a story and deals with an individual case, Zac cheus, who was a "chief Publican." Jesus sought him (see Golden Text), whereas Zaccheus was animated by' curiosity, and the writer informs us he was small of stature, hence the necessity of climbing the sycamore tree. He went up the tree because of curiosity, he came down because of conviction. He wanted to see this man in the center of the crowd and v/as amazed to hear Jesus call him by name and with the authority of a king commands his friendship and hospitality. Must Yield Wealth. Zaccheus was rich, dishonest, dissat isfied, but desperately In earnest, and a man of prompt decision. The esti mation of his fellow-citizens is indi cated by v. 7. Notwithstanding all of this Zaccheus was not so wedded to his money as to let it keep him out of the kingdom. In chapter 18 we read of the rich man who "lacked one thing." He was lost?"went away"? because he would not yield his wealth (see also 18:26, 27). What took place within the house of Zaccheus we are not told, but for the Master to enter was looked upon either as amazing ignorance of Zaccheus' character or else extreme carelessness concerning the maintenance of his own character. Jesus was dealing with one man, not the multitude, hence he leaves them to their amazement. While this is true, yet we can surmise sometning or tnai interview by the result (v. 8) for Zac cheus seems to have made a public avowal of his ethical and moral change of heart. Note the steps: (1) He "sought to see Jesus," John 3:14, 15; Isa. 45:22. (2) He was very much in earnest, "climbed a sycamore tree," Luke 13:24. (3) He made no delay, "make haste" Isa. 55:6. The -result was that of great blessing to the people and joy In the heart ol Zaccheus. (4) He was obedient, Joy ously and promptly. The genuineness of his transformation was evidenced by the way It affected his pocketbook. He made abundant restitution and gave bountifully to the poor. The love of God shed abroad in the heart of a miserly, selfish man or churcb will promote honesty both to God and man, and make men large-hearted, self-forgetting, ministering sainta Prov. 11:24; Rom. 12:13; II Cor. 8:5. It was as "Son of Man" that Jesut went to the house of Zaccheus. God'i pattern, God's man. He made no ref erence to race, nor to caste. His pur pose was to reach a "LOST" man and 'twas for such he came into the world to "Save the lost." From tire combined parable ant! story we can read the lesson that Je sus is the friend of sinners and no' of sin.
