Our Country Roads,

l feel very much interested in the
remarks of Mr.. Fenner at the Gouver-
neur Institute, p. 466. l agree with
him that drawing earth on our roads
makes deeper mud. l do wish all
farmers would agitate this question and
cause every town either to buy or hire
a strong stone breaking machine. 1t
seems to me the towns could get their
main roads macadamized very cheaply
in few years. The way to manage is
for the town at the annual meeting to
vote tax sufficient to pay for blasting
and quarrying rock, men to be paid SO
much per cord. or so much per ton, and
the machine to be paid so much per
cord or ton, according to the STATE of
the rock the machine to be moved
from place to place by traction engine,
and to be driven by the same power.
The question now is, would it be
better and cheaper for this machine to
be set up at the quarries nearest to the
district for which stone are broken, and
the pathmaster call on the farmers to
draw one ton at load of broken stones,
or to draw the stones before they are
broken and set up the engine and
breaker where the stone is left? Farm
ers can draw stones in the winter or at
any time when not too busy with farm
work. This machine must break 100
tons of stones for each district in the
town. This will give all the districts
chance to improve their roads; and the
stone must be put on the centre of the
road, IA inches deep, as far as they will
go each year. No contract work should
be given out; the farmers and all tax
payers should either work out or pay
in cash their road tax. and all work
that they do over their tax in drawing
stone, &C., should be paid SO much per
ton, the money to come out OF town tax.
The pathmaster should be under bonds
to see the work properly done, and Lave
pay for his time and work when his
road tax is worked out.
The very Srst thing that must be
done is to grade the hills. This can be
by district work on small bills, but
must de done at town expense, in large
jobs, and where it would be better to
change road round hill, it must be
done, and when there is spring OF
water 10 road bed, it must be tile
drained before it is macadamizcd.
If our people would take hold Of this
work, we should soon have good roads,
and it would not cost so very much. II
any farmer can furnish good stones for
the roads, picked off from fields. he
ought to allowed little pay. if he
delivers them where wanted.

FEATHERS, COLLARS, BoAs, AND CAPEs
The tour de cou, or short ruche OF
ostrich feathers tied close around the

delicate Threats on the first cool days.
This inexpensive little novelty is chosen
to match the feathers of the hat, and is
therefore found at the milliner's. There
too are the long ostrich boas-white,
black, pale blue, gray, pink, or yellow
and the long boa of coos plumes that
reaches down to the feet. Collaretts

Machine Made Picket Fences.

An ingenious Minneapolis man has per-
fected a machine which takes the "edg-
ings" of the saw mill refuse and auto
matically makes them up into picket
fence. The boards are trimmed into the
shape of pickets and then the machine
binds them with wire. The machine
makes 100 pickets per minute. Those
who are up in fence matters predict that
this new fence, called the combination
fence, is destined to supplant barb wire.

Electric Currents.

When the current in electric railways
passes from the car wheel to the track,
it causes a considerable increase in fric-
ton between the two. Expert opinion
seems to favor the theory that this addi-
tional resistance is due to slight weld
ing action caused by the heat generated
by the current.

GALLONS and edgings in which it ap-

for faring collars and little jackets have
loops of chenille the color of the fabric
fastened in gilt, steel, or silver cords.
Applique embroideries, done in silk
and braid on cloth or velvet, are in open
designs with mitred edges for trimmin Z
cloth dresses, and many of these are in
double rows with band of marabout

vandyke trimmings are giving place to
straight edged galloons and to arabes-

Fine jet beads in open designs are liked
for narrow edgines. for insertions, and
for trimmings. Pale blue turquoises

ROUND HATS.
Two kinds of round hats very similar
to those now in vogue will be worn, one
a close low shape for morning use, the
other more dressy, for the afternoon,
medium large, with low crown and pro-
jecting brim, round rather than pointed
in front, and turned up close in the
back, or else pinched in to form curves.
English hats find favor here, and the
rage in London ust now is cunning
little low black hat called the crinkle,
with nearly fiat front resting lightly on
the hair, the sides turned up sharply to
the back, which is peaked up above the
crown and crinkled into deep sharp
corners. A wreath of feather tips or a
small tuft of feathers in front and back
is the trimming of this jaunty hat.
AUTUMN coLoRs.
Rich warm dahlia tints and reddish
heliotropes are shown in French color
cards in six shades ranging up to perse,
the pale tint of Persian lilacs. The
best violet shades are not too red, and
are mark ed voluJats, the red and blue
mixtures one sees in morning glorles.
Clear dark browns are in the familiar
otter and mordore shades and coffee
brown, the color of Java coffee. More
yellowish browns are taJac and the
light bison, castor, and beige shades
The grays are metallic tints-pale
silver-gray steel shades, clear nickle,
and dark platinum gray. Bluet blue,
the bright hue of the German corn
flower, and pale turquoise blue are ex-
cellent colors for millinery, but are
scarcely suitable for costumes;royal blue,
the J1eu de France, and dark marine
bluesare winter colors, and the cha sseur
gray blues are almost steel color;a pale
china blue is named after Palsy, and
this with turquoise will be much used
to Tighten black and the very dark
brown shades. Bright Spanish yellow
is also much combined with black. The
new greens are those with blue tints,
and others that contrast we'll with

Proposed to the Wrong Girl.

BRIDGEPORT, Nov. 1.-Two twin sisters
living at the east end are so identical in ap-
pearance that even members of their own
family cannot tell Martha from Mary eX-
cepting by small mole under Mary's right
ear. They are pretty and winning and
have plenty of admirers. For several
months past Mary s accepted lover has been
young blacksmith named Rogers, and last
Sunday evening he made up his mind to
learn for certainty whether she would
marry him. When be arrived at the house
Mary received him cordially, expecting to
entertain him until her sisters return.
Rogers supposed she was his adored one,
and at once preached the subject nearest
his heart. lie found her little more re-
served than usual, he thought, and her hes
itstion made him all the more persuasive.
AT length she accepted him, just as Mary
came into the parlor and turned up the
light. Rogers then discovered that he had
proposed to the wrong girl. He made pro.
fuse apologies, and the sisters kept him in
hot water for an hour. Then Martha re-
leased him from the engagement and left
him to finish cut the evening with his
"speckled beauty" 1t was too good n
joke for Martha to keep, and sLe whispered
it to one or two of Rogers's friends the
next day.

The Biddefe I'd Times Saturday printed
the following regarding the presentation of
Zozo in that city
Zozo was presented for the first time in
this city, AZ the Biddeford opera house last
evening be fore delighted and enthusiastic
audience. The play is a departure from
the ordipar run of specraculars and with
its bright and witty dialogue, good
chorus singing, graceful dancing and
taking specialties, served to make one
of the cleanest and mos, pleasing entertain
ments of its class that has been given here
this season. Many adverse reports as to the
moral character of the play had been cir
clllated here in advance but it was evident
to every one present last evening that such
reports must have had their origin in NAL
ice, as from the rise of the curtain in the
first act TO its fall in the last there vas
not a speech to which anyone could take
exception nor even suggestive act. Bid
deforI1 people are of the opinion that one
of the Portland papers went long way out
OF its legitimate course in publishing
unoomplimentary criticisms that were based
on slsnderous INSTRUMENTATION.
Being satisfied that he can crowd the
opera house by = repetition of the piece
here, Manager Mattox has booked his COM
psny for a return date, Nov. 18th. With
its new and handsome scenery, pretty girls,
pleasing specislties and brilliant spectacular

Confessed to Numerous Stage Rob
berries

SACRAMENTO, CAL, Nov. 4.-George
Shinn, who, with Charles Dorsey, alias
Thorn, escaped from San Quinton prison
three years ago and was captured in Chi
cago by Detective Hume, has made a most
startling confession. Ever since they es-
capped, Hume has believed there were in
this State perpetrators of numerous stage
robberies which have occurred since then,
but he was not able to obtain any positive
evidence. Friday night Shinn was trans
ferred from San Quinton to Folsom by
special arrangement made by Warden Aul
aud Detective Hume. Yesterday the war;
den and detective interviewed Shinn for
over three hours.
He confessed that he and Thorne re
turned to California in 1889 and camped on
tue American river about three miles from
this city. He admits that on the 3lst of
July, 1889, they stepped the stage from
Milton to Sonora, robbed the passengers
Of $50 and blew open the Wells-FarGo
it empty. On the 10h of September of
the came year, they stopped the stage be-
tween Quincy and Orrevllle and took
gold bar worth $500 from the Wells-Fsr go
box. In April of this year they held up
the Forest Hill stage il Placer county and
robbed the passengers.
Beside these roob.iie Shinn comics es
TO numerous burglaries, garrotng, and rob-
berries committed by him and Thorn. They
returned 10 Chicago, May 80 ibis year, and
he says betwe, that time and the date tf
their capture they committed somethiI
like twenty five robberies and turglaries in
Illinois. Their rendezvous on the Ameri-
can river has been found by Chief of Po-
lice Drew, of this city.
