marks. The mile 1O2, is 81 miles, and
the house number, los, is $. 8 miles from
the county seat
The settlement of the country or the
growth of towns along the roads does
not interfere with the system. Within
the town, the town streets and town
house numbers govern. When the
town limits and streets are passed,
and the country road reached, the
country house numbers govern The
first one used depends upon the dis
tance it may be from the courthouse.
the starting point of measurement. and
they continue regularly from that
point. When a road enters town the
town streets and numbers govern until
its limits are passed again, when the
country road, name and house numbers
are resumed, the numbers always de-
pending upon their distance from the
starting point In this way a road may
pass through half dozen towns, and
the numbers on each side of the towns
always indicate the true position of the
house and the distance from the COM
mencement OF the road.
Directories of the country houses can
be easily made, and, by knowing the
exact distance and having carefully
named road signs to guide, country
travel will be accompanied with much
less of the blind cropping methods
which it is now necessary for strangers
to follow

CHILDREN AND NURSES.

A Mothers Regret for Having Neglected
Her Children.
'It seems to me-" said a woman late
ly, one whose sons and daughters have
grown and out in the world, "that if
had my children to bring up over again
would give up everything and devote
myself to each till he was five years
old. What 1 did was to employ nurses!
what a travesty of the tenderly-signifi-
can't word-from infancy to about that
time when looked after them myself
Zone of my children-he is a married
man now-cherishes still a most unrea-
sonable fear of the dark, even of pass
ing an open door of an unlighted apart
lnent, because forsooth years ago in his
babyhood nurse urged him to sleep
lest a wolf should come out of the dark
and get him.
"a second SON will carry to his grave
a nervous dread of laughing. born of a
practice by another nurse of showing
her large, white, glittering teeth in a
mirthless grin when, as an infant, he
fretted. caught her at it one day and
instantly sent her away, but the mis-
chief was done, and l have been help
less to combat it. And my nurses were
no worse than my neighbors'.
"A child's care-taker should be a
child lover, and who loves a child like
his mother? / long to say to every
young mother know: Stay with your
babies If you possibly can until they
are big enough to know what is going
on about them; let maids wait upon
and assist you in supplying their needs,
but let no nurse (?) have a chance to do
them ignorant and life-lasting harm >"

The Empire Gown.

Throughout the autumn it was pre-
dicted that the winter with its elegant
'adornings would put an end to the en-
pire gown. Many women were opposed
to it, and large portion of the dress
makers expressed pronounced aver
sion to it; but it has iourished along
with other popular styles. and it still
lives and bids fair to hold it's own for
many months to come. Not that we
have had among the scores of empire
effects a literal reproduction of the
time of the first empire, nor has even
the details of its style ever become so
general as to be perforee obligatory
Those have chosen it who admired its
eutlines and effects, and none other.
Not for q moment has it affected the
vogue of the princess dress for both
day and evening wear, or of the direc-
toire costumes for visiting, receptions
and the street, and of bellslirt and
coat effects for general uses No one
wooden style is ever likely TO prevail to
the exclusion of the rest, and, provid-
ing the sleeves are the height or
breadth of fashion, the corsage elegant
in its outlines and perfectly fitted, there
is hardly IA shape that can be devised
and worn that would appear ont of
fashion. so varied and SO opposite in
style and effect are the medley of
bodices now in vogue.-N. Y. Post

Representative Durborow Oil. has
secured the insertion in the agriculture
al appropriation DILL of an item appro-
priating $4,000 for the establishment
of a road bureau. The new bureau is
to be placed under the direction of the
agricultural department The object
of it is to spread knowledge regarding
the building and maintenance of good
roads An expert on roadmaking will
be placed in charge of the new bureau.
and it will be his duty to prepare and
modify the road laws of the various
states with a view, if possible. of es-
tablishing a national law to ccetrol the
roads, or rather to induce the states to
adopt uniform laws o0 the subject
There is widespread interest in this
subject and while the proposed appro-.
priation is small it will serve as an en-
tering wedge and Mr. Durborow looks
forward to great results therefrom-

Measuring Candle Power.

The method of measuring the candle
power of light in simply to move an
object along a graded scale, away from
the light. until it ceases to cast
shadow; a mark on the scale at this
point indicating the candle power of
the fame. 1t is apparent that the
shadows thrown are to great extent
dependent on the intensity of the light.
Thus water yss, which gives a more in
tense light TO q given area than coal
gas, casts strong shadow in the meas
uring machine, but when put to prac-
teal use it does not illuminate a room
so well, not having SO great diffusive
power as n coal-gas light of the same
measured candle power. An analogous
case is that of the sixteen-candle-po
incandescent light It is very intense
but does not illuminate room rs well
as gas light of equal candle power.
What the public wants is better illu-
mination and it would Seem that some
other standard should be devised than
the admittedly imperfect one of candle
power-Boston Commercial Bulletin
