The Highway Law,

"wrotched highways under the preposterous Jude
vine law'-RGtOrmcr.
Does the Reformer really believe the roads
to be in worse condition since the passage
of the Judevine law, or is it working in the
interest Of the legal fraternity? The writer
has had occasion to travel considerably in the
eastern part OF the county the past two years,
and has found the roads generally in a much
better condition than they were few years
since and even this year, so unfavorable for
keeping roads in repair-owing to the rainy
spring followed by an extreme drouth-they
have been much better than five or six years
ago. Under the present enlarged grand list
We raise about seventy five per cent. more for
highway purposes than we did two years ago,
and it is fair to presume the money is gener-
ally laid out in repair of the highways as ju-
diciousy as before the passage of the Ju-
deyine law. Our population cannot have
changed much within the last two years, and
having the same men to look after the high
ways, why should they become poor a? Ger
tainly the farmers, who have to pay the larg-
er part of the tax in most of the towns in
the state, and do most of the work on the
ulBuWhyh, now lndI Iney eau recover no uAln-
ages in case of accident from the insufficient
cy of the highways, will quite likely see that
they are kept in repair. We have certainly
had less accidents the last two years. Why
is it? 1t may be that people drive more
carefully. If so, it is good argument for
the present law. If towns would adopt the
commissioner system, tax of 20 cents on
the dollar would doubtless give us better
roads than 2j-cent tax with highway sur
yeyors We cannot expect our money will be
expended to the best advantage when we al
low but l24 cents per hour for labor. 1 care
not how stringent the laws are made to COM
pei towns to keep the highways in repair, but
deliver us from the litigation under the old
law. The case recently pending in our cir
cult urt should be terror to all the towns
in Windham county The farmers, if wise,
will ask their representatives to resist the re-
peal of the Judevine law. FARMER.

A New England journal once accused Dan

of his money affairs, and shortly afterwards
the editor received note from the celebrated
statesman pleading guilty to the accusation
In proof of the charge against himself he
enclosed a couple of notes for money which
he had loaned the editors father to aid him
in giving his son an education, but had neg
leoted to ask for their payment. The proof,
although not of satisfactory character was
entirely convincing

Those DESTROYS of seeing the great comet

advance of the sun, a little to the south of the
latter's point of appearance. Like long,
narrow, luminous cloud, inclining southwark,
its tail first comes to view, contracting with
perfect regularity as the nucleus surmounts
the line of the horizon. The tail on Sunday
morning was clearly outlined for distance
Of at least thirteen degrees from the nucleus,
and from that point faint bifurcation could
be traced for seven or eight degrees further
on line with the star Regulus. The latest

Useful Wives,

A half-century ago, when young women
used to think that marriage meant that
they should become helpers to their
husbands, and contribute their full
share to the family wealth, the Rev.
John M. Peck took young Connecticut
girl to new home in New York and a
little later to Illinois. They never had
a large income, but her prudence ena-
bled him to accumulate a good estate.
He thus writes of the habits of that time:
Gin the Northern and Middle States no
girl raised n farm was deemed fit to
marry until her bedding, clothing, win
dow-curtains, towels, table-cloths and
every article of domestic manufacture
were made with her own hands in guam
titles sufficient for respectable house.
keeping. Young: men, then, who made
visits to families for a specific purpose,
were ingenious in finding out the do
nestle character of the mother before
they committed themselves to the
daughter" OF his own wife he saws:
"Ine young husband and wife might
have been seen on a farm-Wagon with a
load of furniture. The chairs, table, bu-
reau, kitchen utensils and few other
articles were the gifts of her grandpar-
ents; but every article of bedding, table,
linen and personal clothing for home
wear, with many other similar things,
were made by her own hands. And yet
she was but twenty years and four
months old"

There are several machines made Tor
washing clothes. All ofthcm are made
upon the principal of producing a rub
bling and squeezing motion by means of
corrugated rollers passing over a CORFU
gated surface, One machine is about as
good as another, and all are serviceable
and useful in capable hands, but they
are to be used intelligently, as all ma
chinery is.
Cucumbers have an i'll reputation as
being provocative Of summer com
plants, but it is said that all this comes
Of eating them when stale; and that if
fresh they hurt nobody. To have them
early, some panes Of glass are necessary
to admit light and warmth to the hill,
and to shelter from cold rain and tear
ing wind. An extra cover is easily laid
over for protection on Il cold night, and
a white one to shield vines from excess
i've heat OH a sunny day until the plants
become strong. Convenient cheap hand
glasses are greatly needed in our gardens
to bring on tomato, melon, egg and Gu
cumber plants,
The quality of grain, especially wheat,
is much affected by the season. In dry
season, as last year, the wheat is hard
and dry and makes very superior -four,
while in a wet season, as the present, it
is soft and makes inferior flour. Com
plants are already made about the quail
ity of the new flour, and the markets
hade been affected thereby to some ex-
tent. Upon this account it would be wise
to defer threshing until the grain has
gone through it's usual sweating stage in
the straw, during which when in the
straw it takes no injury, but becomes RI
pened and improved in quality. VIII eat
that is threshed before this sweating in
the barn occurs::is in danger Of sweating
and heating in the granary or elevator,
and in that case can scarcely escape be-

WONDERFUL MATERNITY.
Three Sisters Become Mothers on the

Same Day, and Each Has Twins.
The Assyrian Monarch of the Monarch
line arrived Monday afternoon with a
full complement of Russian refugee
Jewish passengers. Among these were
three married women, sisters, named
Ruth Jacobsky, Lena Itskok and Miriam
Levinski, who, with their husbands, left
Odessa last winter. In Russia they had
been married on the same day fife en-
months ago. They belong to the middle
class.
The husbands of these women are
tailors by trade. Two weeks since the
tailors with their wives and co-religion-
lists were sent on board the Assyrian
Monarch for New York. On Sunday
morning, the LIST inst, Lena Itskok who
is very prepossessing Jewess about %
years old, became mother of two fine
healthy girls. Her two sisters were in
the act Of congratulating the newly-made
mamma, when they themselves found
that they were in need Of the doctors
services. At 9 o'clock in the afternoon
Ruth Jacobsky, who is ~ and a good
looking blonde, had done as well as her
other sister. and had at that moment
presented her fortunate husband with
two boys. At o'clock at night two more
girls made their appearance on board
the boat, and Miriam Levinski, the
youngest lister, aged 10, was receiving
fluctuations of her husband and brother
in-aw. On Friday the two boys were
initiated into one Of the mysteries of
Judaism. At The circumcision they
were both named Isaac, which means,

Roofs fol. Farm Buildings.

There are various ways of forming
roofs for farm buildings, depending upon
the requirements of each. A ::barn
protects valuable and perishable proper
ty, and the roof of it should be tight and
durable as we'll as light, because of the
size of it and the necessity for a frame to
correspond with the weight of it. There
is nothing better than shaved pine OF
cedar shingle roof for a barn, as it is
,ght, weather-proof, and will last long
time. For hay barracks, wagon and tool
sheds less expensive roof will answer,
and such one may be made ofhalf-inch,
dry, seasoned boards, eight inches wide,
placed up and down from cave to peak,
and the joints covered with battens of
the same thickness, three inches wide,
also we'll seasoned. The battens should
be nailed with clinch nail or annealed
wrought nails clinched on the under side
The pitch of the roof should be at least
one-half, so as to shed water and snow
easily. It will not pay to use tongue and
grooyed boards or strips of tin for the
Joints.
