One of the things which marked the
late Senator Hanna as a man of strong
individuality was his consistent belief
in the practical value of the work done
by the Salvation Army. Though his
gifts to the army vere without osten
tation he did not hesitate to publicly
proclaim his sympathy with the pur
poses and aims of the organization. lie
advocated its cause upon every suit
able occasion. Being a hard headed
business man, it Is reasonable to as
sume that Senator Hatina familiarized
himself witb the nature and scope of
the army's work before giving it suet
unqualified support. A feature of tb
work which particularly appealed to
Senator Hanna and which enlisted his
active support was the "farm colony
system which the army Inaugurated
many years ago and which has spread
into many lands. The bill to create a
colonization bureau, which was to have
been introduced before Congress by
Senator Hanna, proposes a . method
whereby tbe Government may apply
the plan and experience of the Sal
vation Army in putting actual settlers
upon its irrigated lands. Whether
such a colonizing plan, under Govern
ment direction, would be practical or
not, the measure serves to call public
attention to the success of the army's
farm colonies and their remarkable
growth in this and other countries. Th
primary purpose, of course, is to re
lieve the congested districts of the
larger cities by attracting families t(
unoccupied lands and giving them an
opportunity to Iwonie home owners
under favorable conditions. The object
of th Salvation Armv colony is not
to gather a group of cranks or adher
ents of some particular socialistic of
. . ,
religious creed, nor Is it the purpose M
create a strictly farming population.
The army starts a family on a ten or

earnings froin the soil, and in the

ty. Farm colonies under the super
vision of the Salvation Army have
been established In South Africa. Aus
tralia and England. In Rhodesia 3.ixki
acres have been turned over to tha
army, and western Australia has set
apart 20,000 acres for its use. In this
country the army has established farm
colonies In California, Colorado and
Ohio. At Fort Amity, Colorado, thd
colony consists of 2,000 acres, and U
perhaps the most successful illustra
tion of the army's plan for drafting the
surplus population of the larger cities
and enabling it toet a permanent hold
upon the soil.

smallest Inhabited Island in the Terri

This little Island has had a rnthet

now been owned for over thirty-flv
years past by George 8. Guy. The
family includes Mr. and Sirs. Gay and
several children, who, except for nu
occasional guest, seldom saw any ol
their own race previous to our occu
pancy of the group, Mr. (Jay made a
comfortable fortune on the Island, ol
which he Is the sole owner. The isl

about 70.000 acres, and with a mitlvt
population of less than 100, all that re

where, the conditions were favorable
for the perpetuity of the native race

laving for Ideal.
That was a wise old clergyman who
urged bis brethren not to admit young
men to the ministry unless they wer
evidently mre broadmindol and en
thusiastic lu their faith than their
elders. "We must allow," he said,
"for the inevitable shrinkage." The
same allowance Is necessary in every
life for the sure closing in of the real
upon the ideals of youth, and the un
avoidable narrowing of hope and aim
that must come with middle age. The
more idealism we start with, the more
stoutly we defend it against the
shocks It is certain to receive, the
more joyous life will turn out to lie
as we go on living. The dreariness of
the middle-aged view of life springs
largely from the fact that its ideals
are so shrunken as to be no longer a
source of vitality, of renewal. As long
as we believe in life, and in love, and
in friendship, and In heroism, and Iu
other ideal possibilities, life is worth
living, and we are strong to take our
part in it. Living for ideals Is happy
and courageous living. Living with
out them Is "the duil gray life and
apathetic end."
The stHiidMint of the Idealist is
that the Ideal is absolutely true truer
than the surface real. If a friend fails
to come up to the standard of
ideal friendship, so much the worse
for the friend; the Ideal, really, re
mains untouched. When we once be
lieve thus confidently in it, friendship
gains in Insight We perceive the
shortcomings of our chosen friends;
we also perceive our obvious short
comings toward them, and the un
reached standard Inspires only for
giveness and deeper effort. True love
never relinquishes the Ideal, dies for
it gladly in some cases, lives for it
(which is Inciiiteiy harder) In the ma
jority of Instances. Juliet was an
idealist; she could have married Iln

his worst never shamed it. No man
ever comes to his best possibilities.
and no woman, either, until conscious
ot representing to other hearts more
than they dure hope for in themselves.
Children need the nurture of ideals.
A mother without ideals can never
have noble sons. To teach growing
boys and girls to "see the world lis
It really is" is to utterly unfit them
for making Hie world any better by
their lives. It is also to cruelly dimin
ish their chances of happiness. With
thought, with (he ideal, is Immortal

Its fragrance to others, is the nio.st en

In summer the baby should no' go
out during the hottest part of the day.
Early morning Is the best time for his
airing. Take him from his bed, wash
his face and hands, put a light flannel
wrapper on over his nightdress and
take him out. He can finish his imp
and have his breakfast out of doors,
llie early morning air In summer Is
sweet and refreshing, nnd n good
tonic. As the sun creeps higher and
the air becomes warmer you can bring
him in and give him his bath. He
will then probably go to sleep again
In the darkened nursery, thus afford
ing the nurse a little time for rest or
a nap to make up for what she has
lost by early rising. If the weather Is
very warm do not send the baby out
again until late In the afternoon, when
the air again becomes cooler. He can
stay out during the early evening,
but should always lie brought In be
fore the dew begins to fall.
How to Arrange Linen,
Care should be taken when putting
iwny napkins and tablecloths that they
be arranged in sets. In this numm r
they are always ready for use, and
It will be found a much more economi
cal way for all household Jlnen, espe
cially town's and napkins. If they are
used in rotation. Frequently, for con
venience sake, only the upper pieces
are taken off, thus leaving the bottom
of the pile untouched for months. Ity
using them in turn there will not be
the need of replenishing as when only
few are In constant use. In the
laundering of tablecloths, put about a
dozen tablespoonftils of cooked starch
in a pail of the bluing water. This
will give the desired stiffness and gloss
to the cloth without the effect of lielng
starched. Napkins do not require
starch, but should be well dampened
and Ironed until perfectly dry, as ail
linen must be. Iron napkins singly
en both sides, then fold and press
again. Tablecldthes should be folded
ooct for convenience and Ironed two or
three time on each side, the o!!ed
or folded until the desired sitefur tb
space occupied In the linen closet.
Never launder table linen when stain
ed. until an attempt ha been mad
to remove the spots, as it is almost Im
possible to efface any discoloration
after the cloth has Ix-en submerged ii
