Although a successful woman ariist, Mibs Nellie Harv y does not beiieve that women should indulge in paint-, i:ig?at least, not on canvas; the su4j-| ject of facial frescoing was not dls- j cussed, says the New York Tribune.! Miss Harvey is an Englishwoman; but j she lives in Munich, has apother stu-j r?io in Madrid and paints wherever, the spirit moves her. "Strange as it m.-.y seem, although I love my art and would soner die^ than not paint, I don't approve of wo-J men as artists." she said. "It's too se-! i J? T if Q rious a science?ior i *v ? ; science?too complicated, too many-j sided for a woman. Most women lack the necessary power of concentration to grasp it. . "Of the thousands of young women who take up painting, few succeed. I "know of women who have started j with brilliant prospects and who r:ever got anywhere. Few ever make a marked success. They suddenly seem to come to an end. I put It down to physical causes. They are not strong fliuugil IU ivt-v. p up W.v I England and Germany competition is very hard with the men artists.

Anderson Mail. , It is little more than a fortnight v. until Anderson will entertain the grand lodge of the Improved Order of Red Men This order was reorganiz-' *d in 1834 from survivors of various societies of Red Men going back to 1763, and is a fraternal benevolent society. It is the oldest charitable and. benevolent society in America based i on aboriginal traditions and customs. j There are nearly 5,400 tribes, and! councils, with a property investment' of $6,400,000 and a membership of over ! 510,000. The* TPPAints nf the 2reat council of! the United States run ciose to $45,000 : i annually. Pennsylvania has the largest membership, 82,000; Indiana 59,000; New York, 31,500 and several States over 15,000 members. The last annual report shows that $1,044,000 j was spent in tlie United States on the relief of members and $44,300 on the' relief of widows and orphans. The representatives who come to Anderson therefore have behind them a great order and will be received with due cordiality, Mr. C. E. Tolly, one of the supreme representatives' from this State, is a well known citi- j zen. He states that the principal matter for legislation at the hards of the great council is the endorsement t of thp oroDOstion for congress to make an appropriation for a national museum at Washington to commemorate the life, habits, customs and conditions of the American Indian. The Improved Order of Red Men disp nses its charity in its own way. Orphan homes are not approved of but orphans of members of the order are cafed for in the radius of the light of the local campfire where all of the members of the tribe will feel a personal interest in the little ones. Status of Tick Eradication. Three moit counties together with portions of two others will be released from Federal Quarantine on or about April, 1, 1913. This marks another important step in the eradication of the cattle ticks from South Carolina. In July, 1907, Clemson College Veterinary Division, in cooperation with tiie U. s. department 01 agrcuuuie, began ths work in Oconee, Pickens, Greenville, and Anderson counties, and these counties were released from Federal quarantine in 1909. In 1910, ihe work was pushed into Greenwood, Abbeville, Union, Laurens, Spartanburg, Cherokee, Chester, and York counties. All of these counties, with the exception of the southern portion ; of York, and the eastern portion of i Chester counties, were released from Federal quarantine in 1912. In 1912, work was extended into Newberry, Saluda, Lexington, Fairfield, Lancaster, Chesterfield, Marlboro, Darlington, Florence, and Lee . counties. About the 1st of April, 1913, the release of Marlboro, Darlington, York, that portion of Lancaster county north of the Waxhaw creek, and that portion of Chester county Railway is expected. This place north of the Lancaster & Chester Railway is expected. This will place above the Federal Quarantine Line about 8,700 square miles?one-third of the State. Clemson College has expended in this work about S4o,000 and the l. b. department of agriculture has expend e-xception of $100. which was appropriated by Newberry county in 1912, I 110 ppropriations haw- been received; from other sources. At the present; rate of progress it will take ten or: twelve years to free the entire State, j although this could easily be accom- j plished in twelve to eighteen months; if :*ach county would appropriate funds for cooperation and if every owner wnnld assist bv freeing! otuva v .. v?.v. ? ? his own premises. The tick causes South Carolina an annual loss of about $1,000,000. Under present conditions it will take at least ten years to eradicate the tick. Figure out the total loss that will occur before the ticks are eradicated and then v ;<ier the fact that the ticks could be eradicated in twelve to eighteen months and this loss prevented. The sum that the tick will cost our farmers in two years would fjee the entire State. What would you think of a business man who would sit down and calmly allow his business to lose $100 or $500 each year if he could easily prevent it? Every one says "Poor Business." Now what is your opinion of the farmers of South Carolina who are sitting down and calmly allowing their business fr? ha sanned of SI.000,000.00 eacjl year?a loss that could easily be prevented? "Poor Business?"?that doesn't express it! M. Ray Powers, Professor eVterinary Science. i Western Hemlock, says the department of agriculture, deserves a better opinion and more general use than it now obtains. Intrinsically it is among the morst important of western vvuuus. i The wood of western hemlock has j generally been considered an inferior j one chiefly because of tbe prejudice created by the name, which has caused it to be identified with eastern hemlock. Tests by the forest service, how- i ver, show it to have 88 per cent the' strength of Douglas fi*r, one of the | country's chief construction timbers, j In fact it is often mixed with Douglas 1 fir and used for the same purposes, | The wood is practically free from! nitch. has a handsome grain, takes! paint and stain well, and works, smoothly. It is suitable for sash and j door stock, furniture, interior finish, j framing, flooring, boxes, barrels, and ; pulp. In bridges and trestles it can, be used for all but the heaviest construction. When properly treated with preservatives, it is valuable cross tie and pole wood. According to forest service bulletin 115, the best stands of western! hemlock are found in the coast re-; gion and through the Cascade Moun- i tains. The bulletin further gives the j results of tests by which the mechani- j cal properties of western hemlocK j have been determined, and tells of i the different uses to which the1 wood is adapted. Better Corn* and JPigr and Cattle?j Wily >ot Better Babies. In the March Woman's Home Companion appears the first complete report of a new campaign that is springing up in this country with atonishing virility?a campaign for "Better Babies." A year or two ago a woman in Iowa, Mrs. Mary T. Watts, conceiv" J - _ *- 1 - 4-1 ea me iaea. mat m xier oun*; me yimciple enthusiasm among the peopie was for better cattle, better corn, better hogs and all that sort of thing. At the county and State fairs there had been occasional "baby shows," but the whole purpose of them was to pick out and reward babies for their beauty and atractiveness rather than for their health and development, in other words the baby was simply a i sideshow for entertainment, and not j taken seriously, while in every other j r\y r>rmtoct cr>VPnf>P and ! gAUAWil/ Vi VVuvvwv mvavmwv ? the object was to cultivate among the people knowledge of the best ways to produce better products. Mrs. Watts saw that Iowa was neg- j lecting her most valuable crop?her j crop of babies. With the co-opera-! tion of a physician, Dr. M. V. Clark,! I she organized a real baby contest. \ Thp nhient was to award Drizes to those children which made the best physical showing. Doctor Clark pre-1 pared score cards, the principle items of which were adapted from the cards used in judging cattle and animals of various kinds. These cards form-ed the basis of a scientific inquiry; calculated to reveal the strength and I physical and mental efficiency of the child examined. The results of this first contest were j appalling. They showed that Iowa! had better corn and cattle than babies, j and awakened public sentiment to a j wide study of all those matters that j concern the care of children?diet, j clothes, baths. One child who had j received a low marking in the first j contest won a p.ize at the second be-1 nonca tVio TYi7-k+liifir?

This v-ear many states are going to 1 ' i have scientific baby shows in connec-j tion with live stock shows and State] fairs. Women's clubs, newspapers ana physicians are awake and one of the most important world-movements has begun. Woodrow Wilson. Atlantic Monthly. And now Mr. Wilson's opportunity is here. Even those of us who cannot discern a "crisis" in every campaign, or?when our friends think differently ( ?call every issue "moral" feel tnat this is a time of hesitation in the aT fairs of the republic. The ship of State has turbine engines, but the rules she sails under w-ere drawn for clipper ships. The conservative dreads i change because it is change, and by the same token the radical loves it. Between the two is a vast multitude of puzzled, earnest men, each out of step with the next. If in the calendar of virtue there Is one special presidential excellence, it _ -1 n is courage, ana ivir. wnsuu is tuuiageous. Cautious and considerate as his manner is, there is within him that flash of insight by whose light he can leap through the dark to his decision. Fresh in our remembrance are the early days of the convention in Baltimore. It was the tip in every buzzing circle that Mr. Bryan's active support : | was dynamite. With every regard to j the proprieties he was to be decent-r I ly, deferentially, definitely interred in : political oblivion. It was theu that! | Mr. Bryan addressed to each candidate ; i a telegram demanding his attitude in! i j regard to the support of Wall street, j It was a ticklish question, and except i J one every answer was equivocal. On his own initiative, without time for re- j flection, Mr. Wilson replied with un-1 compromising frankness; and thanks | to the satiric twist which makes fate's J actions interesting. It was this tele- j gram which made Mr. Wilson, rather than his more prudent rivals, a candidate for the presidency. The courage of Mr. Wilson is deserving of still greater credit because his orr>->nr ijorninst th<a world ha?. more mvi .. _ than one weak joint. He is a sensitive man, with none of the toughened! fibre of the veteran politician, nor | that exuberant joy of living which | makes each blow received lend zest to j the buffet given in return. Not that he lacks fighting blood (there is too much of the covenanter in him for that,) or obstinacy, prime heritage of the Scots; but to him fighting, like the rest of life, is a serious thing. It Is stuff to try the soul's strength on, not to enjoy as a fillip to good digestion. He is a wary of entrance to a quarrel, and sometimes in his newspaper interviews one is sensible of a tactful answer when a blunt one Would have Served his purpose with finality. Yet, well within the warrant of the facts. Mr. Wilson's biographer can say that since Mr. Cleveland's tinie no other man in public life has on occasion spoken his full mind with a rounder accent or a sublimer disregard of obvious consequence. | Mr. Wilson has schooled himself to 1 a wide knowledge of affairs. But an I expert in busin-ess, using the word in! the narrower sense, he can never be. \ Like violin playing and domestic econ- j omy, the ways of business must be' learned when one is young. More-1 over, in the United States the business j of making money has become so high- j ly specialized a pursuit that all Mr. i Wilson's prejudice against the evclusive and ungenerous in mind has been roused against it. The myopia of business makes him distrustful of its wis-! dora. Constantly, as ne endeavors to ori-ent his theories to the facts, has speculative cast of mind, though it may enable him to grasp the broad principles of business, suffers the methods to elude him. Moreover, Mr. Wilson, as his father before him, has! always been a poor man, and in his j household success has never been j reckoned at a cash value.
