BARON HlKscH'S COLONY.
Immigrants Who Are Not Proving Un-
desirable.

Immigrants Who Are Not Proving Un-
desirable.
That rather large class of American
citizens who are inclined to look upon
all immigration as an evil and to think
that the foreigners who are likely to
come among us for permanent resi-
dence are proftless and unworthy lot
whom it would be better to keep out
altogether, may be commended to a
little observation of the Hebrew colony
in southern New Jersey. This is one
of the colonies established through the
munificence of Baron Hirsch, and it is
now on the high road to success, which
is bringing proportionate benefit to the
surrounding country. Under the su-
pervision of the committee dele
gated to apply the Hirsch fund,
picked colonists were two years ago
established there on five thousand acres
of rough land. In the brief time be.
tween then and now they have cleared
the land, laid out a pleasant town site,
erected one hundred and fifty houses,
established several factories, planted
vineyards and orchards and are now
beginning to reap the rewards of their
well-directed industry in substantial
crops and profitable employment for
artisans and mechanics, while, OF
course, all the region round about,
with its native population, is expert
encing new activity in all branches OF
industry and trade. We may say. to
be sure. that the success of this colony
of Hebrew refugees is due to the care
with which the committee selected the
colonists, choosing only the fttest and
rejecting all unworthy ones, but il
shows to what good results the stream
Of immigration can be directed by a ju.
dicious system of discrimination and
oversight-results which would be
wholly lost by policy of general ex
clusion.-Providence Journal.

THE POTATO HARVEST.
9easonAble Advice ~ to Digging ana
Reaplng the Tubers.

eNssonabls Advice - to Digging ana
Reapins the Tubers.
One can easily select q time when the
soil is in the right condition to fall right
away from the potatoes when turned up
either with the plow, potato digger Of
fork. By having clean crop in this
way the labor of harvesting is greatly
lessened. Potatoes should not be
washed, as rule. Yet they must If
we dig them with the soil adhering to
them. A dirty crop of potatoes will.
not keep well.
Sometimes. however, potatoes will get
muddy from necessity, and then some
place to keep them while they are
washed should be provided. It is not
such an easy job to wash potatoes, for
the mud is only loosened and not
washed off by throwing water over
them. If they are piled up in a heap
and then washed with hose for some
time. the tops will be as clean as q
whistle, but down toward the bottom
the mud has accumulated.
The easiest way to wash them is to
make temporary lattice work on the
top of four barrels Lay bean poles
across the four rails, so close that the
potatoes cannot slide through. On top
of this place one bushel of potatoes at a
time, and then turn the hose on them.
The water and dirt will drip through
the lattice work to the ground and
leave the potatoes bright and clean. As
fast as cleaned the potatoes should be
spread out on . canvas or boards to dry
before storing. They will dry in very
short time in harvesting seasons. They
must not be stored away in q damp.
cold place while wet or the rot will
surely set in.
A good drying and storing place for
potatoes should be provided beforehand
in the barn. A lattice floor should be
made somewhere on the north side of
the barn, and either stretched from
NOW to NOW or constructed on . cheap
framework. The floor can be made Of
bean poles or cheap scantling. The
spaces between the stats should only be
about an inch. If such a storage place
is provided the potatoes can be placed
there even when they are wet, for the
dry air circulating through them soon
carries away the moisture. All through
the rest of the summer and the early
fall the potatoes can be kept in this
cool place in the best of condition. If
potatoes are to be kept until later in
the winter for sale they will turn out
SO per cent. better if cared for in the
summer in this way. All of the mois-
ture is dried out of their, and heat has
no chance to rot them.-Colman's Ru-
raj World.

Of the bridge tax, if we are 70 improve
upon our present system, must be paid
in cash with the spring installment of
taxes. This would supply cash fund,
the first essential to change in our
system.
Then, in every county at least,
a competent engineer would be re-
quired to formulate plans for the con-
struction of roads at all points of diff
Guilty, and this work in my judgment
should be let to the lowest bidder for
cash, his pay to depend upon the GER
tificate of the engineer that he had
completed the work according to the
plan submitted.
The first object to be attained in the
construction of our highways is a
foundation as nearly perfect as prac-
ticable. To accomplish this in bad
places will require an extensive and
sometimes complicated system of drain
age. None but competent engineers
can prepare the plans for this. and it
will be necessary to confer on the coun-
ties or road districts the power of emf
nent domain SO that adjoining lands
may be condemned to enable the dis
trict to perfect these systems of
drainage.
All bridges should be built under the
supervision of the engineer. and all
money collected for road taxes should
be expended in the district in which it
is collected.
In this way we could at once begin
the proper construction of permanent
foundation for our wagon roads, which
would. in my judgment, without ad-
ditional expense. save the salary of an
engineer, greatly improve the present
condition of our highways and at the
same time prepare them for gravel or
macadam when the country is old
enough and rich enough to complete
the work of converting them into per-
feet roads.-Gov. Horace Boies, in Good
Roads.

PICTURESQUE PEASANTS.
Corners of Europe Where Rustics Stin Re

Corners Of Europe Where Rustics Still Re-
tain Their Antique Costumes.
It is obvious that a most interesting
and picturesque display might be made
of feminine types and costumes for the
Worlds fair by careful selection from
the peasant girls of the civilized or
semi-civilized world. 1t is only among
the rural classes that anything ap-
preaching artistic looking dress is at
present to be found. If we turn to
Italy we must begin by giving up male
Italians in despair from the artistic
point of view. The slop-shop is king
from the Alps to the Adriatic, and
''store clothes" are now the universal
wear, spot" hats, suits of ''dittoes''
and ulsters having replaced the ro-
mantle garments in which the people
OF the Sunny Land once rejoiced.
In the italian cities also there is lit
tie that is distinctive to be found in
the dress of the women of the indus
trial orders, while in Rome the pictur-
esquely-attired women who have been
banished by the police from the steps
of the Trinita del Monti, but who still.
with their ragged and quaintly-dressed
little children, fit about the Pia zza di
Spagna and the Via Condotti, are, in a
great many instances, professional
mendicants who pretend to be artists
models. When the begging season is
at an end-that is to say, when the
tourists have left the eternal city-the
picturesquely-clad women, with the
white ''fazzoletti' on their heads, re
tire to their villages to live for awhile
in comfort on the profits of their Roman
solicitations of aims, and there, per
haps, they may continue to assume
their traditional costumes.
Pretty dresses may also be seen will
frequency in southern Italy, particu
larly in the villages around the bay O.
Naples, in Calabria and in Sicily. The
south of Spain is again happy hunt
ing-ground for pictorial peasants
dresses. The gypsies, too, who swarm
both at Saville and Granada, are sufh
GENTLY picturesque, although in thu
way of cleanliness and completeness o.
garments they leave a good deal to be
desired. 1t is perhaps in Switzerland
the Tyrol, in south Germany, in Aus
tria, in Hungary, in Norway ant
throughout southern Europe that pic
turesquely-clad peasant women are
most abundantly in evidence, and tn,
Americans will probably be in

FARM AND GARDEN.
PUBLIC ROADS IN IOWA.

The Subject Discussed by the Governor Of
the Hawkeye State.
Compared with the number of our
people and their ability to pay taxes
we have q very large mileage of public
highways, no part of which can be en-
tirely neglected, and our road taxes
collected and expended as they hereto
fore have been are barely sufficient to
keep most of these highways, which
must be used, in a passable condition.
1t is doubtful whether our people are
yet ready to submit to additional bur-
dens In the shape of highway taxes
What then can be done?
This is the practical question.
All will concede that if our road
taxes were paid in money, and judi
ciously expended under the direction
of experts skilled in the art of making
roads, much more could be accom-
plished than is now; but it is doubtful
whether there would be general assent
to plan which would require the pay
ment of all road taxes in money.
Still it is apparent that any system
which will result in the permanent i'm
provement of our highways absolutely
requires a cash fund with which to be-
gin and the oversight of persons skilled
in the art Of making roads. Such per-
sons cannot usually be found within
the road districts, and if found could
not afford to spend their time for the
compensation allowed road supervisor
But upon smooth dry land, devoid of
engineering difficulties of all kinds,
anyone can construct a highway that
will be reasonably passable at any sea-
son of the year, and this part of the
work, covering much the greater part
of the mileage, could in my Judgment
be left in charge of local supervisors
and worked out as is now done.
It is perhaps reasonable to assume
that this would absorb one-half of the
road taxes now levied, and this share
could be paid in work if so desired.
The remainder of the road tax and all

RELICS OF ANCIENT TROY.

Trojan relics of priceless value and
high antiquity have reached Washing.
ton from the New York customhouse,
which will form one of the most inter
esting collections presented to the
Smithsonian institution for many
years. They were dug from the ruins
of Troy by DIR. Schliemann and must
have passed through the mighty con-
aagration which the legend says ended
the Trojan war. The meaning and as
sociations Of these are of surprising in
terest, for until few years ago schol-
ars and learned men believed that the
heroes of Homer and Virgil, who
fought at the dawn Of history,
existed only in myth and story.
The discovery worked revo-
luton in classic history. These
interesting objects are made of
many materials, of which stone,
bronze, ivory, marble, terra Gotta and
bone may be mentioned. There are
one hundred and eighty-eight in all.
They include a variety of articles, such
as weapons, idols, vases, urns, knives,
daggers, pins, whorls, drinking vessels
of elaborate designs and patterns,
rings, jugs and bullets. The whorls,
which are the most numerous of any
objects in the collection, had peculiar
use. There are eighteen of these.
They are circular shaped, vary from
one inch to three inches in diameter
and are made of stone highly polished
and ornamented. They formed very
essential part of the rude spinning
wheel which the Trojan matrons of
that day used. Then it was fashiona-
BILE for all women to spin, and even
those of royal blood, who from the
walls often watched their friends and
favorites in the battles on the plains
below, could deftly twist threads of
great evenness and uniformity.
The drinking vessels excite the
greatest curiosity. A few of the names
as they appear in the original cata-
logue will show what variety of
them there is. There are globular
jugs, lustrous jugs with incised orna-
mentation, two-handled goblets, two.
handled jugs, two-handled cups, one
handled cups, liliputian jugs, bowls
and other vessels. These are of vari-
GUS sizes. Some hold as much as two
quarts, and some no more than a
thimbleful. The double-handled COB
lets, of which there are three, are of
curious construction. They stand
about six inches high and have on
either side long, slender handles
reaching from top to bottom. They
hold about the same quantity as COB
let's of the present day. A broad,
shallow bowl in the collection may
have been used in the sacrifices
to hold the sacred meal which was the
custom of Greeks and Trojans to throw
over the animal about to be sacrificed.
Besides the drinking vessels there are
many interesting vases. One of these
is tripod vase about ten inches high,
which was made to stand upon three
short legs. Another is vase of mythic
style, and third is ornamented with
strange lines that portray the likeness
of woman's face. There are other OBJ
jects of terra Gotta. of which three
balls, oblong and pyramidal weights,
one idol, one head and one ring are the
most important. There are many Gu
rious pieces of marble quantity carved
which were very essential in the econ
omy of the Trojan religion. These are
as thin as waters and grotesquely
shaped.-Washington Post.
