The Road Question +.

The most important question OF the present
day to the residents Of prairie country like
ours is that of getting passable roads at all sea-
sons of the year. This question is being dis
cussed by the newspapers and farmers in all
parts of the state and many suggestions have
been thrown out upon the subject, some of
them valuable and others useless The main
suggestion yet made is to tile the road so that
the water can be carried off rapidly, and TINS
is q good idea If properly carried out. TO put
a tile in the centre of the road will not an.
swer unless wagons are kept off the road for
several days after each rain or thaw, in order
to give the water a chance to move on. If the
mud Is stirred up ut once by passing teams no
amount Of tile underneath can help the road
way. To put good tile on each side of the
road, or to make good open bitches on each
side is better yet, in the opinion of some of
our best road makers, and then we wait a sys.
tenn of sensible road making to help out this
drainage. We must have stone on our roads
if they are to be used constantly, and this can
be had in all parts of Livingston county. 1t
will cost some money TO make piece OF road
at first if plenty of stone Is used. but the road
is good for something when made and can be
used throughout the year. We are informed
by John Wallace, one of our road commission.
ers and an old road maker, that the best way
10 make pODu IOdl Is W cover lIlt TOal Dcu
with flat stones of large size, and then put large
stones on top of this, filling in with Il dressing
of coarse gravel. The stones on the bottom
prevent the road from sinking down and the
large stone and gravel let the water pass down
rapidly to the open bitches which should be
made on the sides of the road. 1t has been
suggested by Mr. A. w. Kellogg that a clIcml.
cal be mixed with the black soil of the roads
to prevent the formation of mud, but we fear
this would prove 100 costly.
We really need some good commonsense
Legislation on the road question from the next
Legislature ana hope that we shall be able to
get it. We believe 1t would be better to let
out the making of our roads to competent roat
builders and do away with the present system
of working altogether If the roads are made
by men who make that a study they Will be
as much better as "A pow made by an expert.
enced pillow maker is better than one made by
a blacksmith who is only well acquainted with
the art Of shooting horse. 1t requires as much
skill and experience to make good road as it
does to make a reaper or build threshing
machine.-P Oatjdc Sentinel

10 Insure Disease Among Swine

In response to compliant OF certain class
OF farmers, that with them clover freezes OUT
during winter, says the Indiana Fdrmor, we
have before suggested it was because they per
mitted their fields to be grazed To the bare
ground, leaving no aftermath whatever for
winter protection, and if they were to attempt
to weather the winter storms with linen coats
or no coats, they would probably freeze
OUT also. 1t is pretty hard to get bit of the
philosophy of common sense into some pcO-
pies head. 1t has to be done in very con-
crete method Of statement. Now, il seems to
US that the way to insure catarrh, congestion or
what is called hog cholera, and other diseases
among swine. is to have filthy pens, no drain
age from them, but plenty to them, where the
water and urine and slop and filth Of every
kind mix and stagnate and stink, producing
conditions that no human being could live in
for a day, and where hogs live longer only in
the ratio of their natural capabilty over hui
man physical possibilities. We think that We
may insure some kind of disease that will
slcken and probably kill the hogs if this filthy
and careless method Is followed faithfully. 1t
is only a question Of time

FEBRUARY weather.

To the Editor of the Albany
Argus: The second cold period in
February will reach us on the 22d,
23d, 24th and 18th days. This, it is
probable, will be extremely cold
along the valley ofthe st. Lawrence
and Ottawa rivers, Northern United
States and to the westward. Febru-
airy will certainly end cold. The
second heavy snow storm of the
month should-by my theory.
come on about the 18th, and this
bids fair to be heavy, with drifts
and fairly cold weather. We have
yet to get our heaviest snow-falls OF
the winter, and some of these are
certain to extend through March.
Up to the 10th the weather should
be moist. Yours truly,

NEW ISSUE,
These Notes Again Declared Valid
and Receivable for faxes.

A Tennessee Judge and Tennes-
see jury have again decided that the
notes of the Bank of Tennessee,
known as Anew Issue" are . legal
issue of the Bank, and that the State
is bound to receive them for taxes.
The following is a copy of a tele-
gram received from Jackson:
'sThe Judge delivered an able
charge, following the Supreme
Court in the Bank of Tennessee case,
and the jury returned a special YER
dict that the notes were regularly
issued by the Bank doing a legiti-
mate banking business; that they
were received and paid out by the
Bank, like other notes, and that
there wasno proof showing to whom
or on what contract the notes in
suit were paid out, and thereon the
Court rendered judgment, holding
that the notes must be received in
payment of taxes"

Results of stopping his Paper.


A Sunday-schOol paper tells the
following "whOOper:" A certain
man got mad at the editor and stop
ped his paper. The next week he
sold all his corn at cents below the
market price; then his property was
sold for taxes because he didn't
read the Sheriff's sales; he lost $40
betting on MOllie Mccarthy ten
days after Ten Brock had Won the
race; he was arrested and fined $40
for going hunting on Sunday; and
he paid $500 for lot Offorged notes
that had been advertised two weeks
and the public cautioned not to
negotiate them. He then paid a big
Irishman, with a foot like derrick,
to kick him all the way to the
newspaper office, where he paid
four years subscription in advance,
and made the editor sign an agree
ment to knock him down and rob
him if he ever ordered his paper
stopped again. Virginia (IU.) Ga

THE certificate of Drs. Craik and
Dick, the physicians who attended
George Washington at the time OF
his death, has just been unearthed
from a Georgetown newspaper OF
1893. 1t does not appear in any OF
the biographies of Washington.
The certificate concludes thus "He
was fully impressed at the begin
ming of his complaint, as well as
through every succeeding stage of
it, that its conclusion would be
mortal; submitting to the several
eXertiOns made for his recovery
rather as a duty than from any ex-
pectatiOns of their efficacy. He
considered the operations of death
upon his system as cOeval with the
disease; and several hours before
his decease, after repeated efforts to
be understood, succeeded in express
ing a desire that he might be per-
mitted to die without interruption.
During the short period of his ILL
ness he economical his time in the
arrangement of such few concerns
as required his attention with the
almost serenity, and anticipated
his approaching dissolution with
every demonstration of that equan-
unity for which bis whole life has
been so uniformly and singularly
conspicuous"

The Grand Lodge of knights of
Pythias met in NashvilIelast week.
The order was La NY represented,
and from the official reports we are
glad to know that it is in fiourish-
ing conditions Below we give the
closing remarks Of DIR. r. L. C.
White, Grand Chancellor of the
State:
In retiring fronathe exalted sta
ton to which I was called by the
unanimous suffrage of this grand
body, it affords me the most unal-
loved qualification to know that the
order of which I have been the Off
cial head during the past seventeen
months is, at the present time, in a
more prosperous condition than at
any previous period OF its history.
Numerically, our increase. during
the past twelve months has been I'M
. precedented, the aggregate member
ship being now more than sixty per
cent. larger than it was a year ago.
Not only is this so, but it is also
true that our total membership is
greater, by nearly thirty-five per
cent. than it was in the ''fiush times"
OF Pythianism in Tennessee
that we have the satisfaction of
knowing that there are in the State
to-day more knights of Pythias in
good standing than there have ever
been at any one time before.
The number of our lodges is as
large as at any previous time, with
the exception of one year and
there are now very nearly twice a.
many active lodges under our juris-
dictiOn as there were at the last
meeting of this grand body. These
are, without exception, composed
of the very best material, and are
well organized, alert, harmonious
and hourishing. OF the prosperity
of one of them, the splendid temple
in which you assemble to-day gives
ample proof and / have informa-
ton that ether OF our subordinates
have secured, or are about to secure,
new and cOmmodiOus castle halls oil
their own.
Altogether, the outlook is most
cheering. The year that ends to
day has been a bright one in our
annals-but the year which succeeds
may be made much brighter. Res
Olute, persevering and sagaeiOus
work will accomplish anything
let each of US resolve that it shall
accomplish for our order in Tennes.

The best "Darley" picture yet given
is the exquisite one illustrating a
scene in "Evangeline." Every de-
partment is full of attractive matter
for the fair readers, whose bright
eyes grow brighter as each month
they welcome this most popular of
periodicals. 1t seems to be the de-
termination of the publishers to
keep ever ahead of all competitors,
and they certainly succeed in this
object. Christian Reid continues
her new novel, "Roslyn's Fortune,"
In a most attractive number of
pages. Never was a more brilliant
story offered to the public, if one
may Judge by the sparkling vivaeity
of the opening chapters. The be-
witching heroine is in strong con-
trast to the 'Gentle Belle" who
won our favor last year, but it
would be hard TO say which type of
girlho0d is most fascinating. The
"Rosebud Garden of Girls' follows
the fortunes of Delphine, the bright
little widow, whose love story is
developed in several interesting
pages. Every page Of literary mat
ter is of the highest kind, and the
February number will be warmly
welcomed by all appFeolative read
ers. We viii furnish Godoy's

Lenrn About the Pnl.e.

Every intelligent person should
know how to ascertain the state OF
the pulse in health; then, by cOm-
pairing it with what it is when he is
ailing, he may have some idea of
the. urgency of his case. Parents
should know the health pulse OF
each child-as now and then a per-
son is born with a peculiarly slow
or fast pulse, and the very case in
hand may be of that popularity.
An infants pulse is 40; a child of
Z, about so; and from 20 to go years,
20 beats a minute, declining at
fOur-scOre. A healthful grown per-
sons pulse beats 20 times a minute /;
there may be good health down to
so; IF the pulse always exceeds
20, there is disease; the machine
is working itsel out; there is a fever
or Inflammation somewhere, and
the body is feeding on itself; as in
consumption, when the pulse is
quick, that is, over 10, gradually
increasing, with decreased chances
of cure, until it reaches ITO. to 40,
when death comes before many
days. When the pulse is over 40
for months, and there is a slight
cough, the lungs are affected. There
are, however, peculiar Constitutions
in which the pulse may be over 20
i'm health. .-
