An interesting contribution TO the dis.
cussion of American country roads
comes from Professor Richard 4. Ely,
who ailirms that "poor roads cost this
country on the average over $50
horse" lilo is sustained by Professor
jerks, OF Kaox College, who thinks
''sl5 a horse Is low estimate for this
loss" The Board OF Trade, OF Knox
vile, Tenn, has also made the sugges-
tive computation that bad dlrt roads cost
the people Of that one commonwealth
more than S70O0,0oO year. From
tables made upon other statistics il is
also declared that on a gravel road a
horse will draw nearly oae lad half
tunes the load, aad on maoadam over
three times the load he can draw on the
common dift road, The losses from
time consumed, from wear on beast aud
vehicle and from repairs ia indirect ways
fall principally, Of course, upon those
engaged Ia agricultural pursuits. The
average cost which produce oarrIoa

''While farmers in the South are COM
planning that the last years cotton crop
of nearly 5000, 600 bales-the largest
ever raised-will leave them scarcely
dollar of profit, and bring thousands of
them in debt, exclaims the st. Louis Re-
public, "the Illinois State Board of Agri-
culture reports that seven OF the ten corn
crops of that State between 1882 and
1891 were raised at loss of SSO,O0O,.

SCIENTIFIC AND INDUSTRIAL.

Pure butter may contain ten per cent.

A lead mine which yields almost pure
lead has been discovered at Turner, Me.
Morgan County, Missouri, it is said,
furnishes the best friedrich clay in the
world.
Professor Calvin, Of the State Uni
versity has been chosen as Iowa's State
Geologist to conduct new survey.
Tests recently made at Cornell Uni
versity, Ithaca, N. Y, show that alumi-
mum has no very marked influence upon
the magnetic conductivity of cast iron,
but slightly decreases Its permeability.
The strawberry plant seems to possess

grow its runners towards barren or
sandy spot.
There are in southwestern Missouri
many openings in the earth, which are
called "blow holes and "cold caves, !"
from which issues cold blast of air. A
local theory is that the temperature of
these places is reduced by the enormous
deposit of ammonia, caused by the pres
ence of bats.
Pieces of iron which can be set up in
the form of rudimentary steam engine
were gently found, together with a
Latin trea tise on steam as a force, in an
iron chest, dug up near Helsingfors.
This extraordinary archaeological find is
supposed to date from the first half of
the twelfth century.
Shooting are small bodies W eigh-
ing at most a few pounds and consisting
mainly of iron and carbon. They trav-
erse space i'll swarms and also revolve
around the sun in long elliptical courses
like comets. Their brightness is due to
heat engendered by the energy of their
motion. Their speed is enormous, be-
ing nearly twice as great as the speed of
the earth on Its orbit.

draulic presses for powerful steam ham
mers for the forging of large masses OF
steel has for some time been steadily on
the increase. 1t is found that the work
of the press is more regular, homogene.

1t is said that ravens often reach the
age of hundred years. Ducks and
cuckoos are likewise very long lived.
Magpies, which live to a very advanced
age at liberty, do not exceed twenty
five years in the confinement of cage.
1t is not rare to see domestic cocks of tif-
teen years, and with care they reach
twenty. The limit of the existence of
pigeons is ten years; the smallest species
live from eight to eighteen years. Night
ingales will not endure more than ten
years of captivity. Canaries reared in q
cage live twelve or fifteen years, but in
their native islands they reach an age of
several dozen years.

AS the old priest continued he fell into
a rhythmical chant. He stretched his
arms toward the setting sun, and as he
ceased speaking the last ray of the orb
of day fell aslant his upturned counte-
nance, lighting it with an almost divine
radiance, until the listening prince stood
awestruck and wondering.
The ray of light faded away, and still
they remained silent, wrapped in
thought. At length the priest con-
tinued:
'My son, have spoken truth. Thou
shalt see it. Col"
The young man stood irresolute for a

In 1925 there was but one lone repre-.

To-day 25, 600 physicians are enrolled
under the banner of Hahuemann. In
1885 the first homeopathic college in the
world was Incorporated, issuing diplo-
mas to sixteen physicians in six years.
Now, says the New Orleans Picayuue,
there are sixteen such colleges graduat-

when Mrs. Gray began her call But
the girl on the lounge was no longer

risen, her eyes were bright, and she

who had wrought this transformation
sat quietly knitting.
Some readers always want to Eknow
the end of the story-just how every
thing came out. This story is not end
ed yet, for Polly is still unable to walk.
But she is improving rapidly; and
there is every reason to believe that
she will be about again, as well as
ever, sooner than was at first feared.

POlly's Success.

Mrs. Gray was making call in the
par1or, but the sitting was quiet,
SO quiet You would have thought there
was nobody in it. The tall clock in
corner licked slowly and seriously
and the gray cat on the chair by the
stove purred placidly, expressing her
satisfaction with the soft cushion of
the old chair, the fire and the pleasant
place. The geraniums were gay with
blossoms, braided rugs scattered over
the hit-or- miss rag carpet suggested
thrift and homely household ways,
while in one of the broad western
window seats mending basket seem
ed much at home beside a volume of
poems.
Right in the midst of all this home
like peace was most unhappy young
girl She was lying on broad lounge
in faded blue wrapper, and her head
was hidden in the sofa pillow, which
was wet, I think, with a few bitter
tears. We must not judge her too
harshly if it was; for Polly Chase
was only nineteen, and she was very
miserable.
This is the way of it: The Chases
had not much money, and there were
two boys and little girl younger than
Polly. And Polly's head had always
been full of plans. While she washed
the dishes and made the beds and
busted the rooms, she was thinking of
the time when she should be older,
how she would make her fortune, hire
girl to help her mother, buy piano
for Alice, oh, there was no end to the
wonderful, extravagant dreams which
fioated before her eyes
But, when she graduated from the
High School, she brought her dreams
to practical, prosaic point, and said,
II will study short hand, and get a
place in the city" So she did. The
list of sign in the book she
studied began with Cup, hope;" and
she took this as a good omen, and
worked hard. She stayed at home
from the Sunday school picnic to
