ROLLING WINTER ROADS.

Quite a number of towns in Vermont
are now using large wooden rollers to
break out the winter roads, not only in
the villages but throughout the town.
All reports of the practical working of
these rollers are most satisfactory.
Several towns in Orleans county have
used these rollers two or more winters.
A late Barton Monitor says "While it
may cost something to break roads by
this method, the highways will be open,
travelling will be safe and easy, and the
business of the town can be done enough
cheaper to pay the expense of this method
of breaking. 1t always costs something
to have good roads, but no town can
afford to punish itself by poor roads"
The town of Hardwick is one of the three
or four towns in this county which is
using the new device the present winter.
The town has five rollers, II feet long
divided in two parts) and from five to
seven feet in diameter, weighing from
$500 to 2SO0 pounds EACH These are
oi""h " lOul vi slA vi iuOlC nOIscs.
according to the state of the roads. The
highways of the town are made into five
districts by the selectmen and after every
snow storm the roads are gone over,
most of them twice, making hard and
well beaten track from IL to 20 feet wide.
These districts include all the principal
highways of the town, and the people
who have to travel these roads are much
pleased with the result. Now a farmer
living three miles from post-office and
church can get out after a storm as soon
as the roller rolls around, while hereto
fore he might have been two or three
days in getting to the village.
As to expense. it cost Hardwick last
winter about $1,000 to break its roads.
1t may be early yet to predict for this
year, but many think that it will not cost
over half that sum, while the value of the
two systems are without comparison.
The result next spring will be watched
with interest.-[Caledonian.

A Tahitian gentleman or lady is
charming person to meet. They are cul-
tivated and refined, the men have been
educated in the best universities in Eu-
rope. They and their wives are trav-
eled, they are thoroughly cosmopolitan
and they meet the stranger with knowl-
edge of his customs as well as of his Ian
guage, and with a hospitality, simple,
generous and delightful What with
spearing fish on the reef by torchlight,
picnics in cocoanut groves by the sea,
drives on the beautiful Broom road under
the cliffs and across the lagoon by Pha-
raoh's caves, dinner parties ander ba
mana leaf roof, and reclining under the
trees on moonlight nights, the happy
days slip by unnoticed. But Tahiti ex-
acts an expensive tribute from the stran-
ger for the happiness he has felt-he can
take but the memory away and a long
ing to be back in "dear, lazy, sunny

ready and Mr.. Hall and Mr.. Geo. whea-
ton, who has also fine herd of Jerseys,
commenced raising their cream for him.
Mr.. Wheaton had 10 cows and Mr.. Hall
increased his to 16, making 26 in all.
During the remainder of June and Ju-
ly, making 80 days, 1914 lbs. of butter
was make for the two men as appears by
the makers report; 20 cows for 80 days
would be the same as 1900 for one day,
and as Mr.. Halls four extra cows were
not put in Immediately l will deduct 80,
leaving it equal to 1850 cows for one day
ana giving an average daily yield of 1915
OF. per cow. Mr.. Hall has kindly fur
nished me the figures and it is needless
to add that he has got all he wants of
that system and his creamers are for sale
at discount of over 25% from what they
cost him. Had Mr.. Hall known what he
now knows about the separator he never
would have bought the creamers.
If his creamers are so superior, why
cannot Mr.. Dorsey sell them in the vi
cinity of the separators.
Doubtless he tells you he recently
took two orders at West Cornwall near
our branch creamery. The facts are
these: The story was started that our
separator there would not be used the
coming season. Whether he started the
story or not | am unable to say, but it is
to be presumed he did; at least he took
advantage of it to gain his point and by
representing that other parties were 60
ing to raise and sell their cream, who
have not the least idea of it, he induced
Franklin Dean and VIM. belong to put
down their names for creamers. They
both told him they were perfectly salts
fled with the separator, but he made
them believe that it was not to be used
there and gained his object. They will
see whether or not contract made I'M
der such representations is binding or not.

A young man and his wife, who have
not long been married, were intending to
spend the night at her fathers house in
neighboring town; and as the husband
could not get away until late in the af-
ternoon, he escorted his wife to the sta
ton and put her on board of somewhat
earlier train, an accommodation train, as
he supposed, just before it started. And
it so happened that in the same car, in
the next seat to his wife, was young
man who is generally believed to have
been an unsuccessful sutton for her hand.
The train had scarcely left the station
before the husband, who, by the way, is
of very jealous disposition, discovered
it was an express, making its first stop
forty or fifty miles from Boston. After
good deal of telegraphing to one person
and another, including an explanatory
dispatch to his mother-i n-law, the morti-
fled young man had the pleasure of
meeting his wife at the proper station
about two hours late for dinner. She
could scarcely have been otherwise than
fatigued. hungry and irritated; but mark
the cleverness of the womanl Tired,
worn out? Not in the least. l suppose
| must be hungry, but really had not
thought of it. I have had the most
charming afternoon. Mr.. very

tertaining he is This is what l call

The Origin of a Common Saving,

1.-THE divinity students broke out
again. said the young man that boards
on South Division street. 1--WE were
sitting at dinner today, and Miss Stages
she up and says one Of her pupils will
never set the river on fire. The divinity
student looked up and said: 4 see that
you, like other good people, are in error
occasionally What do you meanP
said Miss Stages, getting red in the face.
4 mean, said the divinity student, that
when you talk about setting the river on
fire you are using an old saying that's
got off the track. 1t used to be, He'll
never set the Thames on fire." and
people when they said it had in mind the
river Thames; on the contrary it means a
miller's sieve, called TENSE which was
used in the old wind and water mill DAYS.
This tense had wooden rim, which slid
back and forth in wooden frame. If
the man that worked it was energetic in
his work he sometimes set the tense on
fire from friction. Hence it was said of
a dull, slow person that he would never
set the tense on fire, and the saying has
been corrupted to its present form. -

Railway Signals by Trumpet.

The blasts of the trumpet on railways
as a means of giving signals to engine
drivers, pointsmen and others engaged in
shunting operations, which are now ex-
tensively used in large shunting yards of
the Caledonian railway in and around
Glasgow, are, it is stated, about to be in
PRODUCED on some of the great railway
systems having termini in London. Ac-
cording to the code of trumpet signals
for shunting in operation at st. Rollox
goods yards, Glasgow, the various signals
are represented by long blasts short
blasts and ''crows' of the trumpet, the
repetition of each varying the directions:
for instance long blast of the trumpet
means ''move forward" and two long
blasts are signal to ''move back" AS
rule, the goods yards of the principal
railways, if not quite close to the termini,
are situated usually in thickly popula-
ted metropolitan districts, and it is be-
lieved that if trumpet signaling should be
introduced to them, discordant sounds
of continuous and diversified blasts of
the trumpet will create nuisance--es-
pecially at night, when people are in
bed, night being invariably utilized for
shunting-which Londoners will scarcely
put up with. Under this novel arrange
ment each shunter, and in some cases
the signal men, are furnished with a
horn trumpet eleven inches in length,
having reed inside the mouthpiece, the
whole being Of very light construction.
The trumpet is carried by the shunter
slung over his left shoulder with piece
of cord, and hangs across the right hip.
1t is not at present stated whether or not
the use of the trumpet as a signal will
enable the railway authorities to dispense
with the sounding of the engine whistles,
which have already been the subject of
so much objection. Daily News.

South Americas Yucn Root.

The mealy substance of the poisonous
yucca root, or cassava furnishes the flour
of the country-yuca starch This is the
same root from which the tapioca of
commerce is prepared. The Indians vino
are the bakers of the country, crate the
yucca root and squeeze out the poisonous
juice with their hands. They wash the
substance and bake it before the fire.
This final process drives away any rem
nant of poison that may remain as the
poisonous element of the plant is prussic
acid, volatile liquid easily expelled by
heat. In some Indian tribes the Juice of
the yucca root is used as a mode of public
execution, and twenty-six drops are said
to be enough to kill a stalwart man in
six minutes. Yet even this deadly Juice,
when boiled, becomes harmless. and it is
commonly fermented to make chicha,
the favorite beer of the country.
The Indians make delicious snow
white bread from the yucca, which re-
sembles the passover bread of the Jews.
This bread they retail in guambas or
netted bags thrown across the backs of
donkeys. Yucca flour is imported to our
own markets under the name of tapioca
arrowroot. l think the Brazilian arrow
root is all made from the yucca root
South American cooks make delicious
little breakfast puffs of this yucca starch
and cheese, which are served with coffee
in the sleeping room before the regular
breakfast hour. The root of the yucca is
boiled and takes the place of our potato,
and all the clear starching of the house
hold is done with yucca starch. Amy G.
Shanks in Good Housekeeping.

WATER FOR MICH COWS.

There Is something suggestive in the
fact that excellence i'm breeds of milch
COWS for milking purposes is never Sc
cure where there is not plenty of water.
The Dutch cattle lead the way in this,
and are bred in a land whose surface is
below the ocean level and where canals
serve for roads. Jersey is an island, and
situated in the warm Gulf Stream, where
showers fall more frequently and plenti-
fully than in England. Irish cows are
generally good mixers, though they
have not been developed as a distinct
breed. In our own country we find that
where dairying continues long it must be
in land Astounding in springs and run
ming brooks, where succulent food is
given through as large part of the year
as possible. Without doubt the increas-
ing use of ensilage as winter food of cows
will iIrtime have an appreciate effect in
breeding a race that will be better milk
ers than could have been possible under
other conditions Cultivator.

The machete. broad sword or knife,
about two or three feet long, and carried
without a sheath. is the universal arm of
Venezuela and Central America. In the
southern states of this country the prin-
cipal use for the machete is for cutting
sugar cane, but in South America it re-
places the pocket knife, the axe and the
sword The llanero or haciendero is
never seen without it. He cuts bread
with it, peels sugar cane, cuts bananas
and other fruit from the trees, chops
wood, cuts his way through the primeval
forests. slaughters hens or pigs and de-
tends himself against the attacks of wild
beasts and serpents. There is no better
arm against the serpents than a machete,
for with a single stroke the native will
cut them in two.-E. De Hesse Wartegg.

DeleteriOus Effects of Snow.

A recent article by Herr R. Sendtner
in the "Meteorologsche Zeitschrift"
tends to prove that the works of art in
the streets and squares of cities are more
liable to decay than those in the country,
and that this decaying process is more
rapid nowadays than it was forty or fifty
years ago. The writer attributes it not only
to the changes of temperature in general,
but more especially to the variations of
temperature near the freezing point, the
freezing of the water in the pores of the
work of art fastening the decay, in con-
sequence of the sulphurous and sulphuric
acids, arising from the increased use of
coal. These deleterious ingredients mix
ing with the rain, fog and dew act like
diluted sulphuric acid on the surfaces of
statues, monuments, etc., be they Of
stone or bronze.
Worse than all these, however, is the
effect of the snow, which absorbs those
acids to remarkable degree. Fresh
fallen snow in Munich, for instance, con-
tanned seven to eight milligrammes of
acid to each kilo of snow; and the same
proportion was noticeable at Forstenried,
about eight kilometers from the city. The
same quantity of snow, after having re-
manned on the ground a fortnight, showed
in Munich sixty-one milligrammes, while
at Forstenried the proportion had not
altered in the least; hence the snow in
the city must needs have a more delete
rious effect than that in the country.
This also is the reason why the public
monuments in Berlin are always covered
at the approach Of winter.-Berliner

are as unselfish as human nature can be
generous, trustful and faithful, patient,

shown than in the fact that though Jap
seldom passes beggar without giving
him something, yet there are compare
lively few in the country. If you are

Turks Gathering Mama.

Mr.. Cole, of Bitlis, q missionary of the
American board in Eastern Turkey, in
describing journey from Harpoot to
Bitlis, says I'VE travelled for four DAYS
through region where had newly fallen
a remarkable deposit of heavenly bread,
as the natives sometimes call it-manna.
There were extensive forests Of scrubby
oak, and most of the deposit was on the
leaves. Thousands of poor peasants,
men, women and children, were out upon
the plains gathering the sweet substance.
Some of them plunge into kettles of boil
ing water the newly cut branches of the
oaks, which washes off the deposit, until
the water becomes so sweet as to remind
the Yankee of a veritable sugaring off in
the old Granite state as he takes sips of
it. Other companies of natives may be
seen vigorously beating with sticks the
branches, which, from having been
spread upon the ground, have so dried
that the glistening crystals fall readily
upon the carpet spread to receive them.
The crystals are separated from the pieces
of leaves by a sieve, and then the mamma
is pressed into cakes for use. The mamma
is in great demand among these Oriental
Christians. AS we were travelling through
rather dry region, the article came in
play for our plain repast. Chicago
