that they were fifty years ago. We find
the same rocks in them now that were
there then. In June and October the
same quantity of sod and soft dirt or
clay is scraped into them to lay and be
reduced by the passage of wheels before
a solid surface can be had. Bars of
earth are thrown across them to turn
water courses, and in winter and spring
there are long intervals where they are
made impossible on account of mud and
water. Our much advertised abandon
ed farms" have become so, and will con.
tinue such, so long as there remains no
suitable roads by which to approach
them. The Swedes, even the few that
come here, coming as they did from a
country where the highways receive so
much care and attention, are disappoint-
ed to find here truck ways so much neg
lected and out of repair. In 1884 a
change was made for the better in the
highway law. But in 1890 legislature
called the Farmers Legislature"
abandoned it and returned to the old
system of 'pathmasters," or highway
surveyors" whose appointment is made
or designated by "a public board" "
sometimes called The Fathers, term
without any other significance than that
by the statutes they are invested with
the parentage of the towns illegitimate
offspring; and whose greatest care is to
keep, by all means, the pub ic expenses
under their administration less and
never to exceed their predecessors. Now
we suggest that the question, "Our Pub
lie Roads" is subject for discussion in
the programmes of our agricultural
meetings during the coming winter.

sidering that love had provided him with
the capacity for another point Of view.
Mrs Hart turned her head away and
laughed in secret places She saw how
it was with him, and gloated over it.
The solution of the difficulty would
come in the natural and soul satisfy ying
way dear to the heart of a woman who
healthily loved romance
There is no reason under heaven why
she shouldn't forgive you, she respond
ed cheeringly. 'sYou did crazy, wit
less thing, but you did it with good in
tentions and entangled yourself as badly
as you did her. And you are certainly
doing your utmost to redeem your fool
ishness. Don't be disheartened. When
Phyllis shall have gotten over the shock
of your change of identity things will
adjust themselves and she'll adopt you
Come back when the fruition Of her hope
is fresh on her, and you'll find her in too
softened and thankful a mood to admit
Of harsh Judgment.
Royal gravely regarded her.
''After ALL" he observed speculatively.
"a live dog is better than dead ion.'
"If you like to put it that way" she
laughed. "To me it sounds unfatter-
ing, and do not admit the inference"
Then they spoke Of other matters
The light in the parlor was subdued,
for the shades were lowered. It was
irksome to Phyllis to be confined to one
room, and troublesome to other people
to run about and lower shades, so Mrs.
Hart kept the whole house darkened,
and groped and stumbled about herself
with the greatest amiability, compelling
her servants and guests to do the same.
Sometimes, however, when Phyllis was
not in the room, she would pull up a
shade and let in food of light, to con-
vince herself, she said, that she was only
by choice an owl. She uncovered win
dow now and stood beside it, talking to
Royal
Neither Of them noticed that Phyllis
had entered the room. She knew her
way about perfectly, and was seldom
awkward or unfortunate. The first in
timation they had Of her presence was a
low, delighted laugh. They started and
turned, to find her IN the full light OF
the window, shading her uncovered eyes
with her arched hands, from one of
which dangled the bandage.
Mrs. Hart jerked down the shade with
a quick exclamation at her rashness, and
Royal caught the silk from her hand
and replaced it over her eyes. She sub
mitted, laughing softly all the while,
and paying not the faintest heed to their
reproaches.
II have seen! I have seen!'' she kept
murmuring with exultation.
After moment or two she said, in a
different voice:
''How changed you are, John! Quite
like different man. I never should
have known you in the world.''

Once, when travelling in Montana, 1
had to stop in a small settlement many
miles from a city, says a contributor.
A child was sick in the house, and a
neighbor who had a reputation as an
amateur doctor was sent for. He was
an intelligent man, and after a few
minutes pronounced the disease TO be
diphtheria or Group, o a little Of both.
While the distracted father mounted
his horse and rode of after a doctor
the neighbor proceeded to get some
t~urpentine and burn it.
The smell was pretty bad, and he
nearly suffocated both himself and his
patient. The physician arrived at mid
night and found the child vomiting.
Instead of accusing the amateur OF
being a quack he said quietly that II
was clearly a case Of diphtheretic Group,
but that the ~turpentine treatment had
removed the child from danger. His
words proved true, and l 4 don't see why

Sulphur. suIPhuric Acid and ~sulPhides.
Sulphur occurs very widely distrib

free and partly combined with other
elements. The free sulphur is either
found pure, in regularly formed crys-

matters. In its native state sulphur is
largely found in Sicily and Italy, and
as a general rule in abundant volcanic
districts. The brittleness Of sulphur
renders the cleavage imperfect. Sui

eyes on the expectant lover and spoke
as follows:
There is plenty of in the
