The County Commissioners have
ordered six new road machines from
the American Road Machine Com.
pany, to be located as follows: One
in the First district, two in the Third
district, two in the Fifth district,
and one in the Sixth district.
The Commissioners should oblige
supervisors to use them after every
rainy spell 40 soon as the ground
dries sufficiently, in smoothing up
the roads. A couple or three hours
would dress up couple of miles Of
road. And as soon as the roads dry
in April the ruts and holes ought to
be filed up with the scrape.s. If the
commissions do not compel it the
roads will be neglected if there was a
scraper for every mile.

Quite number Of our people attended
the Convention in Manchester on Tues
day.
We are told that Rev. A C. Field went
to Dorset, to preach last Sunday. A
gentleman from Manchester supplied
Mr.. Fields pulpit and delivered an in
teresting discourse consisting of series
of word pictures setting forth the career
of the Prodigal Son. He began by re-
marking upon the well known picture of
the Angelusi the careless observer might
regard this as very ordinary picture,
but when it is well considered we note
that the attitude of the people EXPIRE sses
reverence and that much may be learned
from pictures like these. So in the ca
reer of the Prodigal Son, how much is to
be learned from the pictures of iTever-
ance, wastefulness and finally of repent
ance and acceptance with the Father.
Why will so many of our young men and
maidens waste these precious years of
youth.
Through the kindness of Rev. L.
Pierce of Blackstone, Mass, an addition
of fifty volumes has been made to the
Library of the Congregational Sabbath
School. We hope the children may de-
rive much pleasure and profit from the
perusal of these books, and that they will
show their appreciation of the gift by
careful usage,

rarIno THE CHRIsTMAs TREE.

A Christmas tree is only a shadow of
itself if it be not lighted, so it is best to
have it after dark, writes Elisabeth
Robinson Scovil in the Christmas number
of The Ladies Home Journal. If proper
precautions are take ., there is little dan
ger of fire. In the future, when electric
itv becomes little cheaper, incandescent
lights will make the tree blaze of glory,
and there will be no fear of a catastrophe.
While we have to depend upon tapers,
care must be exercised in placiug them,
and one person should be deputed to
watch that nothing inhammable swings
within reach of the light. There should
be wet sponge at hand, tied to long
stick, a pail of water and an old blanket
or rug, to smother the flames should any
thing catch and the fire spread. The
damp sponge will extinguish sparks
without trouble. If there is a carpet it is
best to have large, old rag spread under
the tree for fear of accident. The tree
should be dressed with plenty of tinsel
and many glittering ornaments. Gilded
walnuts and silvered chestnuts are effec-
tive; they can be done with gold and sill
yer paint. The floor under the tree
should be covered with white canton
flannel pushed into folds to represent
snow. The more substantial presents
should be grouped around the base, and
nothing heavy enough to weigh down the
branches be put on them, as it spolls the
symmetry of the tree. If it is decided
that lights must be excluded, the tree
should be trimmed with festOons of pop
corn and red berries, if they can be OBJ
tanned. Clusters of mouAtain-ash ber-
ries, strings of the red seedvessels OF the
the sweet6riar, or even of cranberries,
are effective. The red and white should
be used separately, not strung on the
same thread Tufts of cotton sprinkled
with crystal powder represent snow on
the branches. There should be good
deal of white to atone for the absence of
the sparkling lights.-LddieS' Home
Journal.

STRATEGIC VALUE EGYPT.

To the trained military eye Egypt pre-
sents itself as the eastern bastiOn of the
ill-shaped African COntinent-a bastiOn
naturally strong and capable of resisting
attack, whose broad moats are the Med
iterranean and the Red Sea, together
with the dry moat of the desert. The
bastion at once commands the narrow
strip OF coast extending to Tripoli and
the curtain stretching along the Lybian
desert to the Soudan. 1t sweeps the
peninsula of Sinai, and its influence COW
ers the whole coast of Syria from south
to north. The profile of this Egyptian
bastion is so shaped that its fortunate
possessor either has dominated or will
dominate TripOli, Syria and Arabia.
The weakest SIDE of the fortress is the
south, where it OverloOks Nubia and
Absynnia. the African switzerland, where
no laurels are to be won, but on account
or its arid wastes armies may readily be
lost So it was in 1888, when Hicks
Pasha persisted at three days fight at
| Obeid, and none of all his troops were
saved except the reserve commanded by
Aladdin Pasha. Even the Nile expe-
dition of the victor of Tel ell Kebir under

of the remarkable gallantry and endur.
ance of its officers and men, had to ex.
haust itself against the same difficulties
which the Persian King Cambyses was
unable to overcome 1000 years before.
Cambyses went up the Nile in order tC
take possession of Ethiopia, but his Wet
uals soon ran down. He could get nj
water to quench the fiery thirst of the
climate, and when the soldiers began Il
cast lots which of them should be eater
by the rest, the King returned to Thsbei
and Memphis. The traces of both exPe
ditions have been blown away by the sane
of the SOudan. The difficulties they en-
countered were the hostile hot climate
which parches every living thing, ant
the wild character and tough make o

Mr.. Jay Gould did not treat his rela-
tives unkindly. His brother holds a
railroad place worth $25, 900 year, and
he had fixed payments made quarterly TO
his sisters. As to charities, he left his
daughter Helen and his sons the means
to be generous. His personal gifts, so
far as known, had been met by severe
criticisms of the source of his wealth.

The most frank, courageous and
outspOken orator at the dinner of the
Reform Club on Saturday evening was
Representative johnson of Ohio, who
bluntly told his hearers that the Demo-
cratic party was committed TO Free
Trade and must enact 1t or be condemned
by the people. Mr.. Johnson's speech
was refreshingly free from the evasive,
non-committal, uncertain tone which
characterized he remarks of the other
speakers, and it may have been for that
very reason and for the feeling that he
was alarmingly and injudiciously candid
that his utterances provoked less ap-
Plause than the deliverance of the emf
nent dodgers who discussed the same
question.
-Dyspepsia's victims find prompt and
permanent relief in Hoods Sarsaparilla,
which tones the stomach and creates an

The English farmers want protection
so as to raise the price of breadstuffs.
But the men in the shops will not be in
favor of that. In this country, as the
democrats have no principles, they were
able to play the voters in the shops and
on the farms against the Administration.
Now they have to account to both wings,
and will be broken in the middle.

AN ASSAULT AND VICTORY.

Among the passengers on one of the
street cars which cross the Sixth Street
bridge few days ago were a lady and
her daughter, the latter a small maid az
parently between four and five years old.
When the conductor collected the fares
he missed the child, who was patiently
holding a nickle in her hand. After he
had gone through the car and returned
to the rear platform man who was rid
ing there SAID something to him, and he
went back into the car and said to the
lady:
"You must take the child on your lap,
ma'am."
She seemed somewhat surprised at this,
but said nothing as she lifted the child
from the seat.
This offended the dignity of the maiden,
however, who opened her mouth and
gave vent to such shrill shrieks as could
only come from sound pair of lungs.
The other passengers looked at the lady,
and people on the street gazed on the car
as 1T glided along, under the impression
that some one was being murdered there
in.
The conductor and the man on the
platform, who seemed to be an officer of
the company, held another conference,
and the former came in again and said 4:
Madam, can't you stop the child's
crying?"
'Im not trying to-" she replied.
"What is she crying for?"
"Because you won't let her occupy a
seat"
"But children are not allowed to oc-
cupy a seat unless they pay fare"
F'Well, she had her fare, but you didn' t
take it. She has it yet"
"Won't you try to pacify her, please?"
mo; didn't start her to crying"
The shrieks continued, growing louder
and louder.
The conductor retired to the platform
again and held another conference.
This time the officer himself came in.
MADAM" he said, sis there any thing
we can doito stop the baby's yells?"
"You can try any experiment you see
fit" she replied THE child was quiet
enough while she occupied a seat and she
had money to pay her fare. You have set
her crying by insisting that she sit on
my lap. l have no particular interest in
the matter"
"Then I'll put her back on the seat"
said he; but as he put forth his hands to
lift her the baby shrunk from him and
redoubled her cries. For heavens sake,
some way! Give her a seat! Give her
the whole car! Give her the entire sys-
teml Anything to make her stopm
'Tll try" replied the mamma. She
put the baby on the seat she had pre-
viously occupied and her cries ceased as
suddenly as if her mouth had been her.

and all was quiet.-PittSburg Chronicle.

TaE CAUSE OF RHEUMATISM.

An acid which exists in sour milk and
cider, called Tactic acid. is believed by
physicians to be the cause of rheuma
tism. Accommodating in the blood, it at.
tacks to fibrous tissues in the joints, and
causes agonizing pains. What is needed
is a remedy to neutralize the acid, and to
invigOrate the kidneys and liver that al
waste will be CARR, off. Hoods Sarsa
pprilla is heartily recommended by
many whom it has cured of rheumatism
1t possesses just the desired qualities
and so thoroughly purilies the blood as
to prevent occurrence of rheumatic at
tacks. We suggest trial of Hoods
Sarsaparilla by all who suffer from rheu
matism

PRESENTS For TILE OHILnREN


Furniture, so long rs it is intended as
the particular individual property of
some member of the nursery, will be
welcomed, but not if 1T is considered as
an article of general utility, writes
Francis L. Lanigan in an article on
'Christmas Presents for the Nursery"
in the Christmas number of the Ladies'
Home journal. Fancy Chairs, tables, or
even bureaus, are welcome under these
circumstances, and cared for as they will
be under no other. Dainty little toilet
covers and pin cushions will be delight
fully received, and treated with the re-
spect born of individual ownership.
Silver toilet sets, consisting of mirror,
brush, comb, pin tray, powder box and
puff are made up especially for children's
use, but there extreme costliness puts
them out of the reach of most persons.
A cuckoo clock will bring great pleasure,
and be of much service in the nursery,
as well a bookcase, or pictures of child
rem or animals; small standing desk,
with chair to match, is also useful pres
ent. Fancy calendars, book marks,
paper weights, stamp boxes, pencils and
portfolios. can be found in pretty de-
signs, with silver Communications, for
children use. Av id gifts which may
call for the use of ink, as the absence OF
this sure to be spilled fluid is desirable
in the well regulated nursery.--Ladtes
