A nnad Conventlnn.

The project of "road convention
which we believe was first suggested
by the Burlington Free Press and
which is strongly favored by Hon.
VIM. Chaplin of the state board of
Agriculture, is one which should
receive thoughtful consideration
throughout the state. In the rough
az we understand the matter, IL con-
templates the expression of views by
a skilled and practical authority on
road building, upon the best con-
struction and method of repair of
country roadways. The convention,
to meet the ends desired, should be
attended by delegates from all towns
and villages in the state, and such
delegates uniting upon some one SUI
perior policy of road building, varied
only by conditions of soil and char
acter of land, would profit by com
mon method. Any policy which
might result in the betterment OF
country highways would be advan-
tageous, to the farmer primarily.
and to departments of business and
pleasure as well lt is a fact that
nothing so directly affects the pros
perity of any community and espe-
cially in a farming section, as smooth.
hard and well. kept roads. And So.
with the idea that practical :nforma-
tion on the subject would be an eN-
cellent thing, we vote with both
hands for a road convention. The
calling, however, of such a conven-
tion before the design was fully un-
derstood throughout the state would
not result in an attendance-which
is desirable, and seems to us that an
early call for such "A convention
would be but n partial success. To
carry full weight every town in the
state should be represented.-Bellows

Good Deeds in a Naughty World.

A Philadelphia doctor was walk
ing through a street car of that
city one night some time ago when a
haggard man approached him and
begged a little money. The doctor
gave him the dole, and the beggar
asked the name OF the giver, saying
he would not forget his kindness. A
week ago the doctor got a package
and letter from Brazil, sint by the
man whom he had aided. The pack
age contained a gem weighing 20
carats, worth $500, and the letter
contained passage running thus -
" For your kindness to me when
starving | return you a stone"
The second mate and one of
the sailors of a German steam

and to the sailor a valuable COLO

the same time a similargift was sent,
through our minister at Madrid, TO

A SIX ROOM COTTAGE.

IiOn.
Here is very pretty design of six
room house. economical and convenient in
arrangement and cozy in appearance. 1t
is in the old Colonial style of architecture.
In arranging this plan it was necessary to
obtain the required amount of room and
convenience at u stipulated cost. The eX-
terror necessarily was designed very plain
and simple in details. The front faces the
south, and there is an eastern and northern
tiew from the dining room, an eastern and
southern view from the parfOr and Il north
ern and western view from the kitchen,
The front veranda extends across the front
of the entire building, feet in width
about the proper width to permit
group of people to sit in comfort.

TEACHING SCHOOL AND BOARD
ING AROUND.

My thoughts go back to the rosy vine,
And memory paints anew the scenes
Afar in the bleak New England cline,
Though half century intervenes.
On highway corner the school-house stands
Under an elm tree, broad and tall,
And rollicking children in laughing bands
Come at the masters warning call.
They pile together their sleds and skates,
Diligent study succeeds the play,
mountain stream turns gray stone mill.
That runs with low and slumberous sound
And there in fancy wander still,
Teaching school and boarding around.
Near by is a farm house, large and square,
With its doors and easements of faded red ,
stoop that shades from the summer glare,
And wood well piled in the shetering shed.
There's an ancient barn, with swallow holes
High in the gable, three in a line;
The little bay colt in the deep snow rolls;
From racks of hay feed the docile kline
Closely are huddled the timorous sheep,
As the fails resound from the threshing floor;
The pilfering poultry stealthy creep,
And silently watch at the open Ger
For each stray kernel of shelling grain.
Full of content was the lot found
Among the farm folk. honest and plain,
Teaching school and boarding around.
The farmers table has lavish supplies;
Chicken, and sausagPs OF flavor rare,
Crullers and cookies, and puddiBgs and pies,
Are items rich in the bill of fare,
The teacher sleeps in a wide soft, bed,
Kept clean for guests in the great spare room
With gay chintZ curtains over his head
And blankets wove in the old-time loom.
The thrifty wife ere the break of day
Springs from he. rest. though the dayl Is cool,
And breakfast ended, we haste away
Ger the shining crust, to the district school
Here morals are pure and manners sincere,
And men in the church and state renowned
Have made the first step in a grand career,
Teaching school and boarding around.
In the moonlight evening, long and still,
The youth assemble from many tarm;
Though the air without was crisp and chill,
There's bright wood fire and welcome warm
Nuts and apples are pa sed around,
The hands of the clock get back kward turn,
Innocent frolc and mirth abound
Till low in their sockets the candles burn,
Young men and maidens of artless ways
Are brought together in groups like this;
Their hands are joined in the rural plays,
And sweet lips meet in the guileless kiss;
Twin hearts are linked with golden chain,
And love with marriage was early crowned {,
How oft | dream | am there again,
Teaching school and boarding around.

The hall is feet wide with an easy
fight of stairs to the second story. The
platform or landing forms the ceiling OF
the vestibule The effect of this low cell
ing gives the appearance of increased di-
mensions to the vestibule, which may be
used as small sitting room. BY draping
the opening between this room and the hall
a very pretty effect is obtained.
This house has no cellar, and the space
under the main stairs, which is usually
occupied by the cellar stairs, is utilized as
a coat closet.
This is what is styled one chimney
house. with the main rooms grouped about
it in such manner that each may easily
be connected by a stovepipe with the
chimney as may be desired. The parlor
and dining room are connected by an open
ing prepared so that folding doors may be
used if desired, or the opening may be
closed by heavy portieres supported by
rings upon brass curtain pole. This
method is to be preferred, as it is more
decorative and convenient.
The connection of the kitchen with din.
ing room is through the large pantry,
which is fitted up with shelves, refrigerator,
tables and drawers for cutlery, and bins
for -four and meal complete. In the rear

Source of Greater Postal Revenue.


The low price to which paper has
fallen under the protecting influence
of high duties makes the production
of paper supplies n profitable busi-
ness, and its profit is, of course, di-
rectl y related to the freedom enjoyed
from foreign competition. Under the
circumstances it is to be regretted
that the large part of the rural popu-
latiOn of the United States that re-
ceives mail at fourth-class postoffices
have not had the benefits of the use
of letter sheets extended to them. At
every presidential postoffice in the
country you can buy what is n sheet
of paper and a stamped envelope all
in one. but the fourth class offices do
not keep them on sale. And yet the
offices serve just the population to
whom letter sheets would be of most
use, because it is just the population
that is largely cut off from the ample
stationary supplies OF towns and
cities. We believe the extension of
the letter sheet system to the fourth
class postoftices would be a source of
increased revenue to Postmaster-G Cen
eral Wanamaker's department,-N.

Heavens, for sometime, and now

star" as some call it. 1t is the gi-
ant among the planets, nevertheless.
Its diameter is about $4,000 miles.
1t is larger than all the other planets
of our system put together; indeed,
it would take about 1885 worlds
like our earth to equal it in size! Its
average distance from the sun is
4S4, 100000 miles, and so great is
the distance to be Travelled in its
course around the sun that although
flying along at the rate of 4SO miles
a minute. it requires about twelve of
our years for this planet to make
this journey-one of Jupiter's years
being, therefore, equal to about ] 2 of
ours.-Jupiterh has four moons, which
90 round and round the planet while
it goes round the sun. These moons
are of considerable size. Average
distance of our Earth from Jupiter
is 391 800, 900 miles. Jupiter's day
is 9 hours, 80 minutes and 20 sec
onds in length.
