boy, and steer clear of the summer
girls, with a twinkle in his eye.
Ten o'clock that night finds me jolt
ing over country roads in a market
wagon, drawing deep draughts OF
country air and listening to the cheer
full chirping of crickets. Soon we turn
into pretty lane, hedged on both
sides with small crabspple trees. Still
another turn, and we draw up in front
of a little. old, gabled farm house,
covered with pretty green vines and
climbing roses.
To tell the truth, l saw very little
of it that night and at that hour, but
I was up early the next morn
ing and out on an explor-
ing expedition. The house was built
on small knoll, and through the
clover field at the back found path.
Following it slowly came upon
small, pebbly brook, dancing IN the
sun as it rushed over the pebbles, and
now lettering, as if losth to leave the
shade of the dropping willows. As
watched it 1 softly repeated Tenny-
sons lines:
] chatter over stony ways,
In little sharps and trebles,
bubble into eddying bays;
babble on the pebbles.
With many a curve my banks lret
By many a field and fallow,
Aud many a fairy foreland set
With willow weed and mallow.
This little stream wound in and out,
shaded here and there by graceful,
dropping willows, whose branches
swaved and kissed their shadows in the
water. / wandered along, drinking IN
the pure, fresh air and revelling in the
unexpected sights and beauties of the
place. Now | espy tiny ford in the
shape of q half-dozen stepping stones,

unmistakable sensation in the region
of my heart proclaims that breakfast
must be nearly ready, so slowly re-
trace my steps and find mine host
anxiously looking for me and just
about to ring the bell used on week
days to call the farm hands in.
Mine host is genial old chap OF
perhaps fifty, and his wife, Mrs. Per-

Try to make your home beautiful.
Cleanliness is always attractive, but it
is not quite enough; too often cleanli-
ness is also baroness. BE as comfort
able as you can. Don't buy n chair
because you think it pretty unless you
can sit comfortable in it, for chairs
beth pretty and easy may be had at
no higher price. At the same time try
to study your furniture and make it
harmonic as far as possible. Don't
buy red upholstered chairs for room
with green carpet; get your chairs
of soft wood brown, which will blend
into the color of the carpet, and use
paper of soft, indistinct coloring, that
will not force itself upon your notice.
For bright, well-lighted room, good
etchings or engravings are the best
adornment for the walls. Don't cover
the wall with creations in hair, wax,
worsted or cardboard. These things
do very well in their places, but poorly
out of them. One good picture helps
the appearance of a room more than u
dozen knickknacks of the kind referred
to, and will cost no more. A little
thought and little planning, as you
furnish your home a piece or two at a
time, will result in harmony that
will always delight you.

Better Public Roads.

We must have better public roads. How ia
get them is the problem of the time. No
country with the splendid resources of this
country has such poor public roads 1t is en-
couraging, however, to note that nearly every
state in the Union is agitatine the question.
1t is hoped that the movement for improve
ments along this line will be kept up until the
object is accomplished. A rock-breaker,
manufactured by Totten & Hogg, Founders,
Pittsburgh. Pa, is perfected Invention, and
fully justlfies every requirement In the matter
Of construction Of macadam roads. The rock
breaker Is being quite largely used all over
the country. II has been demonstrated re-
peatedly in this inventive age. that to have
need Of an implement for Improvement in any
line, and to tighten mans labors, stralghtway
some genius quickly brings forth just the i'm
plcmcnt or device needed. Now in the mat
ter Of better roads, genius has contributed to
lessen the labor, cheaper the cost which facts
surely contribute encouragsngly TO the cause.
Better roads must be the result.

BRIDGING A CHANNEL
Colossal Undertaking Proposed for EA;
land and France.


Most readers will remember the stats
of abject dismay into which largn
part of the people of England were
plunged by the proposal to pierce the
bed of the Channel between that coun.
try and France with tunnel. For a
time it seemed as il the century had
been turned upside down, and En-
glishmen were living in dread Of
"Bounaparte"-they took silly
pleasure then in using the Italian
spelling-and expected to see the in
vincible body-guard charge out of the
black hole on the coast and the imper-
ial arm follow, to lay waste the land,
capture the men, and eaptivate the
women. The fact that dynamite
cartridge which an Englishman
would carry in his sack-coat
pocket woult block tunnel be-
yond repair for months was not given
a moments attention. The girdle of
the inviolate sea was threatened. The
thought was intolerable. But now it
is gravely proposed to bridge the chan
mel; and though this is project as old
as the English railway system, it has
been very deliberately developed by
French and English engineers, aided
by Sir John Fowler and Sir BENJAMIN
Baker, designers of the Forth bridge,
and it is evidently to be pressed in
good faith and with hope of success.
1t is intended to be nearly eighteen
miles in length, resting on seventy
two piers, alternately 1910 and 1890
feet apart, and constructed on the can
tilever principle. But if Englishmen
were alarmed at tunnel, what will
they say to a bridge that requires six
dozen obstacles of a most formidable
kind to the navigation of the channel?
But then English panic is a most un-
certain phenomenon, quite as apt to be
missing when it would be reasonable
as to be very unreasonable when there
is no occasion for it,

In England trade takes away mans
social standing, but sport doesn't. An
impecunious nobleman may breed
horses and sell them and still be in the
Prince of Wales set. But let him sell
bees or butter and he is ostracized. He
may train horses for salary and still
be gentleman. He may be starter
and still retain his social standing.
But he must not go into trade.
