Breathing the Germ. Of Disease.

To inhsle the germs of disease with
their daily breath is the fate of deniZens
OF malaria-scourged localities everywhere.
The endemic atmospheric poison may.
however. be reft of its venom and rem
dered innoxious by q defensive use of
Hostetter's Stomach Bitters. This pre-
eminently safe and effective remedy and
safeguard not only eradicstes the disease
when developed. but enables the system
TO safely brave its assaults. Every phys
zeal function is confirmed in or restored
to regularity, the circulation quickened il
sluggish, and bilious habit, which of
itself begets a proneness TO both inter-
mittent and remittent types OF malsrial
disease, where extrinsic atmospheric
causes exist powerfully counteracted by
this inimitable terrifying and defensive
agent, which has, moreover, none of the
ldisagreeable characteristics of drastic
cathartic or an alksloid. Fever and
ague. dumb ague and ague cake. and the
calentura OF the Isthmus, are conquered

who seem quite dumb 10 the power of
beauty i'm art or nature. They may
admit that trees give pleasant shade and
80 they tolerate them, but to make this
shade more densc they do not hesitate
10 amputate main limbs and completely
ruin the symmetry and grace Of natures
work. There can I've no more perfect
symbol Of combined strength and beauty
than the trees standing firmly with
curving branches and interlacing boughs

trimmed with care for this claim to
value, the shade may he dense enough

time let the wind come through.
Public sentiment will some day halt
the vaudals who destroy trees for trifIing
reasons, but at present they. have their
way. For example, citizen on Column
bia avenue has been notified that his
curb will have to be set back, although
the walk Is already narrow and the
street wide enough for any easy passage
of vehicles. This will involve the de-
struction Of two fine young trees planted
some fifteen years ago, and watched
with pleasure in their growth of many
seasons.
In these unsentimental days of cash
damages for all sorts of injury, the lover
of trees SO threatened gets very little
practical sympathy. Perhaps the rather
excessive gush of sentiment In Arbor
Day celebrations may change things in
generation.

(Ountry Roads.

As a rule the farmers of this county
do not seem to appreciate the value of
good roads, and one of the strongest ar
gliments against the abolishing of toll
gates by the purchase of the turnpikes
has been that these usually well kept
roads might be allowed to fall to the
miserable condition of the township
highways. An easy way past this dan
ger would be the creation of an officer of
engineering ability whose business 1t
would he TO supcrintend these roads, but
there is no good reason for leaving the
township roads to their present fate.
Many Of the roads we now have were
roughly blazed out through the forest by
the early pioneers, but as a rule, the
routes have changed considerably and
will continue changing. When the saw
ing of labor and advantage to property
brought by good roads Is realized as IL
should he, farmers will be the most criti-
cal of all men on road building. At pres
ent by the fltful and delightful labors of
boys and men who work out taxes, the
roads are more or less skillfully fiankcd
by gullies to carry Off the water and
IIStu WIN III luII WNuiIltl
they are good enough for any one who
don't mind their eccentric course, but in
wet weather they are elongated mortar
beds of varying depth, and it may be
safely said that our farmers lose more in
time, work and strong language, because
of muddy roads, than would pay to put
rain proof cover of stones or gravel over
them or at least to salary an expert
TO build them better and to get the value
of the taxes in labor on them.
The best engineering talent is en-
ployed on the railroads of the country,
and the move towards technical and
scientific education will help along the
good time coming when even township
roads will Ike built and cared for on good
principles.
