LEGAL NEWS.
NOTES.

According to Law it is the duty of town
ship supervisors to put finger boards at all
cross roads in their township, designating
the places to which the different road:
lead and the distance thereto. Recently
Judge Ewing of Fayette county. stated
from the bench that if this law was not
complied with in that county, be would
direct township eonstables to report the
fact to him, in which case he would i'm
pose fine of ten dollars for each failure.
The Law is plain On the subject. and as
there are a number Of crossroads in this
county that need these finger boards, 1t
would be well for the supervisors to see
that they are erected before the Court Is
compelled to call their attention to 1t.

An incident OF the Late Rush for the

A little girl about fourteen years old

she procured a tray and two cups of
coffee and started for the dense ,hrong
of men about the booths, now at least

piping voice was heard saying;
please make way, gentlemen, have

An Invention Wanted.

United States Consul Edward Bed

State Department, says:
ga fortune lies in store for the man
who will discover some process for
cheaply making wood proof against
white ants. These pests are the curse
of existence in Annoy and every other
tropical or sub-tropical city. Their
voracity is incredible. They ate the
framework of new door in this con-
sulate in three weeks. In the same
period they almost consumed large
and handsome cabinet in the court
room and a heavy pine settee in the
anteroom. Their work is invisible
They attack the wood from mere
point, through which they bore to the
interior and there eat everything till
only shell or film remains. Wood
which will successfully resist, these in
sect pests must be thoroughly charged
with some powerful chemical, both
poisonous and non-evaporable. A So
luton of corrosive sublimate, chloride
of zinc, arsenic or anthony would
seem to meet the want. But how to
force these into the fibers until the
latter are saturated, and to do SO at a
merely fractional cost of the wood it.

GETTING RID or RAewrrn

hagweed is one of the worst pests in
all grain growing districts. Wherever
gram IS sown it come in spring with
clover, and before frost destroys it the
weed has ripened crop to seed the
land for future years. MANY farmers
mink this does not matter, as the rao-
weed will not appear except in bare
places among the clover, or where the
soli mas been poached by trampling on
IL through fall and spring. Apparent
~ the soil must be stirred in spring in
order to terminate the ragweed seed.
But this fall seeding in grain stnbble
leaves weed seed in the ground to re-
appear IN hoed or grain crops when
ever the land is plowed. It is true
these weeds can be kept down by con
tinuous cultivation; but their yalue as
green manure is not as great as the
moisture and fertility they extract
What they take is soluble plant food
what they restore has to be made SOL
uble by fermentation. Ragweed is not
like clover and leguminous plants. If
1t were it might be regarded with more
favor. 1t is worthless or worse for
feeding purposes and costs more than
1t comes to as manure. Two or three
years of cutting rag weed and clover
in August after grain seeding will
wholly rid the land of this pest. We
know farmers who, by very early and
heavy seeding of clover and dressing
1T with plaster in early spring, have
smothered the rag weed the first season
so that scarcely single plant per acre
perfected seed. Rag weed perishes
under strong growth of clover leaves.
With heavy seeding, and especially
sowing the large variety of clover, the
land may be kept clear of rag weed.
OF course, during the years in hoed
crops, care should be taken not to let
any go to seed. Stray plants have a
habit of hiding in corn or potato hills
and there growing where the cultivator
cannot reach them until they have
perfected and scattered their seed.

Colorado Gold.

It appears that within ssventy-five
miles Of Denver there are rich gold
fields which only require little more
intelligently devoted labor to be enor-
mously profitable. "A single county in
this belt now has daily output of
$4,000 in gold. Though its area is less
than 1000 square miles, it has ten or
fifteen gold mines from 1000 to 1000
feet deep. The belt is about seventy
five miles long and two miles wide.
Gold in large quantities has been found
on the surface and few feet below it.
Tens of thousands of dollars worth of
gold has been plucked from the grass
roots in this belt Of which no record
has been made. Hundreds of claims
are held by poor prospectors who do
not know what to do with them OF
lack the capital to develop. There is
said to be gold enough within radius
of eight miles of Lake City to pay the
National debt. There is enough gold
in the quartz veins of Rugged Bear
and San Miguel gulches to supply the
worlds demand. But it needs more
capital and better methods, and the

Types In the Midway Plaisance.

1t is in the exact degree OF the facial
angle,as has sometimes been said, that
all the difference lies between the poet
and the philanthropist, the criminal and
the saint. One is tempted as one looks
at these faces here, however, to go even
farther than this, and to say that the
degree to the angle has been given by
conditions outside the power of the I'M
enlightened individual to control, condi.
tions that belong to great epochs, to
races, tribes and nations. Hungry gen
erations have passed these sometimes
down, while they have raised others. In
some faces you see the submission of the
ignoble, in Others the cunning of the
trickster, or again the alertness of the
noble hunter. You read a nations
history almost in the facial angle. You
begin to fancy, too, you might discover
its capacities by an old mathematical
rule. For instance, if you wished to dis
cover the mental and moral capacities of a
race, the angle of whose typical face was
pitched at certain number of degrees,
you would square the animal man (the
base of the triangle), whose measure you
would find in the lower part of the face,
and square the ideal man (the perpendic-
ular of the Triangle, whose measure you
would find running from below the ear
to the top of the head, add these and ex-
tract the square root, and you would
have the mental and moral capacities Of
the MANN other words, of the race he
typifes (the square of the hypothenuse
of right-angled triangle being equal to
the sums Of the squares of the other two
sides).
Leaving mathematical ventures quite
apart, however. one can hardly look at
these faces without being impressed. 1t
inspires one to study, to Contemplation,
and to theory. 1t arouses anew in the
mind Of every observer sense Of de-
lighted surprise that by doing so simple
a thing as turning into the street of the
Midway Plaisance one may find types Of
wild nations that one has hitherto had Il
