How Roads May Be Improved.

Apropos of the subject of improving
country roads, Colonel A, A. Pope says
in the Forum:
81 would have each State by legis-
lative enactment do at once two or three
things in the direction of this movement,
viz: Procure and disseminate informa-
ton by establishing bureau where the
facts relating to the expense, mechanical
construction, care, durability, use and
extent of the different kinds of roads
shall be known and ascertained; then l
would have some kind of State super
vision ana advisory assistance by COM
petent engineer or engineers appointed
bv the State in aid of road and bridge
building and repairing upon scientific
principles and upon comprehensive and
economical plan for the whole State;
thirdly, would have the State either
own or control and maintain some
through highways, connecting the prln-
cipal towns in the State, and connecting
these with the principal towns of neigh
boring States, where they are most
needed, either for great public exlgencles
or for the greatest general use. The
State would thus promote the equallza-
ton and the general reduction of expense
of construction and maintenance, of these
main roads, and would give a profitable
example and a strong incentive to the
adjacent towns to construct better con-
tributory roads as feeders to the main
ones. | would have the State divide the
expenses of this scheme of road better
ment in the tax levy, so that part of it
should be apportioned to the whole
State, part to the counties through which
roads ran, and part to the towns. Aud,
further. would have this tax levy kept
small and the investment adequate and
quickly made by the business mans
method of borrowing the money on long
loans. 1t would thus be easily paid out
of the profits by those sharing them"

The King Acknowledged His Mistake

The good nature of Italy's King is
well illustrated by an anecdote from the
days of the last royal hunts at Monza.
King Humbert is accustomed to take his
sport with the gun in pretty much the
same clothes as other persons and with
out attendants, thereby distinguishing
him from his imperial German ally, who
has insignia of his high Office all over
his hunting costume and is accompanied
usually on the chase by noblemen and
| flunkevs.
Shortly before the end of last season
the Kings. hound started hare about
two miles from Mona, and the King
fired. At the same instant another shot
was heard, and an Italian peasant, with
an old-fash1oned gun and mongrel
dog. hurried up from the opposite direc-
ton. The peasant mistook the simple
yet elegantly-clad sportsman who dis
puted his possession of the hare for
Roman dude, and caught up the royal
arm stretched toward the dead game.
There was hot discussion, which ended
in the triumph of the Kings superior
logic ana his taking off the hare.
At the royal castle the King gave the
hare to the servants that they might pre-
pare 1t for his supper, and stood by as
they dressed it for the pan. When the
entrails were removed the bullet that
caused the animals death was found. 1t
was of the old style of gun, Of the
pattern of fifty years ago. The King
| looked at it and at once sent out mes
senger to summon to the castle the
peasant who had disputed the possession
of the hare. When the old man was led
into the Kings presence the latter
stretched to him both hands and said:
ssMy dear man have just discovered
my mistake. The hare belongs to you.
As it is already roasting, however, can
do no more than to ask you to help me
eat it."
The peasant sat at the Kings right
hand at dinner that evening, and,
although high society spoiled his ap-
petite, he jingled his wineglass against
that of his sovereign and rode home con-
siderably exhilerated in the royal car
riage.-Chicago Tribune.

Annles for Home Use.

A good selection of apples for small
orchard for home use would be two or
three each of the following kinds: Early
Harvest or Red Astrachan for summer
use; Porter or Fall Pippin for early
winter, and Baldwin, Rhode Island,
Greening and Northern Spy for winter
use. The trees can be procured from any
respectable nurseryman, who will supply
what is wanted. The trees should be set
thirty feet apart, and the roots well spread
in the holes, which should be large enough
for this purpose and covered with rich
soil. 1t is desirable in planting fruit
trees to prune the roots well,as it is only
the new growth of the roots that is of use
TO support the trees. TO cover the
ground about the trees with coarse manure
will be rseful.-New York Times.

Fnc,s Worth knowing.

Q. Is Alabastine expensive
A. No. il is the cheapest article for the pur-
pose on the market.
o. How is that? Cannot / purchase kalso-
mines at a few cents per poundf
A. Yes kalsomines can be purchased at
almost any price.
o. WHY then il Alabastine less expensive!
*. In the first place package OF Alabastine,
costing a few cents more. will cover double the
surface that a package of kalsomine will.
o. What other advantage mas Alabastine
that kalsomines do not possessI
A. Alabastine is entirely different from all
kalsomines. 1t is manufactured from base in
itself a cement, and when applied TO wall sets
hard.
o. How do kalsomines differ from this
A. KalsomineS are made from whiting, clays,
chalks or some inert powder for a base and are
entirely dependent on amman glue 10 Iolu tnenl
on the wall
y. What are the results
A. In one case the AlabaStlne being n cement
hardens with age, and the kalsomlnes as soon
as the glue, which constitutes Its binding
quality, decays, rubs and scales OH, as IT has
nothing to hold it on the wall.
.. Does Alabastine require washing and
scraping off before recoatlngE
A. No, AlabaStine when once applied TO
clean surface can be recoated for any length OF
time without having to wash or scrape the
walls.
Q. Does this feature count for much
A. Ask any practical housekeeper, who has
been driven from home to have walls washed
and scraped, whether it will be desirable tC
have all of this overcome, and walls mprOpSd
instead of Spoued by coating them.
O. How can | get Alabastine?
A. From your local paint dealer III he doe:
not keep it in stock, and tries TO sell you, some
Alabastine, and if he will not keep 1t you vii
get it elsewhere.

Habits Of the Moose.

J. G.. Lockhart says that moose
generally lie with the tail windward,
trusting to their senses of hearing and
smelling, which are remarkably acute, to
warn them of approaching danger from
that quarter, using their eyes to warn
them from danger to leeward. While
they are sleeping or chewing the cud,
their ears are in perpetual motion, one
forward, the other backward alternately.
Mr.. Lockhart also claims that the moose
has the remarkable habit of making a
short turn and sleeping below the wind
of their fresh track, so that any one
falling thereon and following it up is
sure to be heard orsmelled before he can
get within shooting distance. e.-Boston

A Promising Situation.

NEW YORK Dally luNestiBatof)
Good judges say that one of the next To-
calities to achieve distinction by jumping
from substantial town to a thriving me-
tropolis in few years will be the city OF
Superior, Wisconsin, and this, too, with
out the effort and struggle through which
inferior towns have passed while ef-
fectng the same result. Until a year
or two ago the average man did not stop to
think that Superior as monopolist OF the
water and rail termini at one end of the
lakes is in the same position as Buffalo at
the other end. Figures are uninteresting
unless given briefly, but comparisons
are always important. This little Su-
perior, credited by its last census with
only $4,000 people, handled more
coal last year than did Chicago of grain
it shipped nineteen million bushels, of flour
sixteen hundred thousand barrels, of wool
four million pounds, and of merchandise
to the value of thirteen million dollars.
OF all lake cities this business was
second only to Chicago in magnitude.
There is an economical reason for this
condition of things. 1t is that the rail
rate on freight sent west of Lake Michi-
gan is one cent per ton per mile, while
the water rate is one-tenth of one cent per
ton per mile. This position at the ex-
treme western end of Lake Superior Is
what gives the city of Superior its prestige,
and is making it grow faster than
Chicago ever did. Besides one hundred and
one smaller industrial concerns, Superior has
located twenty-eight large manufacturing
enterprises in the past eighteen months, in
Guiding the American Steel Barge Com
pany, the builders of the famous
"whaleback" vessel, which is revo-
lutionizing the lake and ocean freight
CARRYING trade. The twenty-eight institu-
tions above mentioned include iron and steel
plants, -four mills, stove foundries, wagon
factories, pump makers, ship builders and
saw and shingle mills. The most conser-
vatve business men i'll the Northwest
believe that Superior will grow faster
in the next ten years than any
other city in that prosperous section of the
country, and many of them claim that
Chicago st. Paul, Minneapolis and Mil
waukee have never seen the rapid growth
that will come to the head of the great chain
of lakes and the city of Superior.
