three feet long, the upper corners of

From the same city the department has
obtained two acceptable life size marble
busts, the one being portrait bust of
Titus, interesting because of its intense
character and verisimilitude and the
comparative rareness of such busts of
the emperor; the other is the likeness of
a Roman gentleman, as yet, though full
of expression, unidentified. These works
are the gift of Lord Savile, and were
discovered during his excavations at
Porto Portese.-Baltimor American.

GOOD COOKING DEMANDS CLEANLINESS. :

An Old Quotation.

The quotation, "who shall decide
when doctors disagree, and soundest
casuists doubt like you and me?" was
written by Alexander Pope, "Moral
Essays" Epistle 3, line 4. The orig
inal did not apply to doctors of medi-
cine, but to doctors of philosophy.
There is one fact all doctors agree
upon and that is that indigestion is at
the bottom of half the ills that afflict
the human race. When the stomach
is all right the system is all right but
when the stomach is all wrong the en-
tire system is a wreck. There is no
escape from this fact. If when you
are tormented with dyspepsia you will
get a box of the laxative gum drops
and take them regularly you will soon
be relieved of all trouble. These drops
have no taste of medicine and they
can be given to children as so much
confectionery but they act gently as
a cathartic without pain or gripping
and they will help the most obstinate
case. Get them of any dealer. Small
boxes 10 cents; large ones so cents.

side covering is made precisely as a
horse blanket with the exception of the
additional length for the neck and ears
and the additional strip underneath,
running the length of the blanket from

that the garb is ludicrous in the ex-
IRENE, second glance brings us to the
point of admiration for the neatness OF
the outfit and the comfort of its wearer,

AN EXPENSIVE LUXURY.
What Bad Roads Cost the Farmers OF
the Country.

e
What Bad Roads Cost the Farmers OF
the Country.
The board of trade in Tennessee
town in recent memorial to the legis-
lature demonstrated that bad roads
were costing the people of that COM
monwealth more than $1,000, 600 an
nually. Prof. w. w. Carson, of the
University of Tennessee, after careful
investigation found the average cost of
hauling to the Knoxville market by
wagon to be $3.50 per ton-aggregating
$3.50, 900 a year on the total tonnage
hauled. He maintained that this hauling
could have been done for half the sum
over good dirt roads, and for one-sixth
of it over good macadam roads, saving
81, 900, 900 annually. Prof. Richard Il.
Ely, of the Johns Hopkins university
and secretary of the American Econom-
ic association, affirmed that poor roads
cost this country over $40 a horse, and
Prof. Jecks, of Knox college, ILL.,,
thinks SIS horse a low estimate for
the loss. Mr. Hord, former commits
sioner of agriculture for the state OF
Tennessee, estimated the number of
horses, mules and asses in that state in
1889 at 10000. The number has in
creased since his estimate, but taking
this number and the lowest estimated
loss per horse, says SIS, an aggregate
loss of $40, 900 a year for one state is
shown. From papers calculated by
Prof Carson for an agricultural expert
ment station it is shown that on gravel
horse will draw one and half times
the load he can draw on dirt road.
OF course there is great economy in
drawing power in the proper grading
of roads, and disregard of this fact has
wasted large quantities of money in
the road building of the past. The
greater speed made on scientifically
graded and patent race tracks illus
trates the advantage of the grade. AL

choosing the Right color.. 5H

An artists rule as to color ISL Choose
carefully only those tints of which a
duplicate may he found in the hair, the
eyes or the complexion. A woman
with blue-gray eyes is never more be-
comingly dressed than in i. the blue
shades IN which gray is mixed, for in
these compilations there is certain del
icate blueness. A brunette is never so
exquisite as in cream color, for she has
reproduced the tinting Of her skin in
her dress Put the same dress on a
colorless blonde and she will
be far from charming, while
in gray \ she would be quite
the, reverse, The reason is plain. In
the blondes sallowness there are tints
of gray, and in the dark woman's pal
ior there are yellowish tones, the same
as predominant in the cream-colored
dress. Women who have rather forid
scomplexionslook well in various shades
of plum and heliotrope, also in certain
shades of ,dove-gray, for to a trained
eye hiscolor has a tinge Of pink which
harmonizes with the flesh of the face.
Blondes look fairer and younger in
dead black, like that of wool goods or
velvet, while brunettes require the
sheen, of satin or the gloss of silk in or

A Few Words About Humane Treatment
of Domestic Animals.
We hear considerable in life about
"man's inhumanity to man." but
mighty little about mans inhu manity
to the domestic animals without which
he would find life only half worth liv-
ing. While the majority Of people who
own live stock are not guilty Of down
right cruelty, either premeditated or
thoughtless, toward their animals,
many of us are woefully neglectful of
the many little things which might be
done for their comfort at the expense
OF little time and money; and this
neglect seems the less excusable when
we consider that nine times out of ten
the small expense made necessary in
providing the comforts is repaid
hundredfold, If in no other way, in the
better nature of the animals.
The accompanying sketch was taken
from life near hong Branch, M y.

is not wise to let the land grow up in
