FIRST EXAMPLE.

work is done on them to better lOca-
tions, If possible; and put all new roads,
needed, on the levelest and best grades
obtainable. OF course, there is included
in this that all roads shall be as direct
and, therefore, as short between OBJ
jective points, avoiding as many crooks
and turns and angles, as the above con.
ditions will justify; and also. if said
conditions will admit of it. that all
roads shall run section and farm
lines. Now why should we contend for
this proposition?
We are travelling the same roads our
fathers and grandfathers made and
used perhaps nearly a century ago. No
thought was entertained by them then
but that these roads would remain as
long as time would last. Now If roads
clear that they should have tho best
location possible? And if our fathers
made q mistake in putting them where
they did, and therefore suffered great
disadvantages and loss and entailed
that suffering upon us, does it not for
correct their error that we and our
posterity may have the benefit to &C
cruc?
(2) Our proposition would save dis
lance and time. A team can travel
much moro rapidly over a level road
than over a h1Aly one, and In every case
where distance is shortened time is
gained. That time is shortened by avoid
ing the hills is true a general state
ment. In the examples have given, and
in every case l now think of, the level
routes would be the shorter. Indeed,
it is like going twelve or fifteen lies
to get ten, not by going around curves
and angles on the same level, but going
up and down, which is much harder.
And if the distance were not shortened
much, it is very probable that it would
not be any greater, on the principle
that kettle bail is no longer lying
down than it IS standing up and the
and the time saved by greater speed
would make great gain.
(3) We would save draught, and
therefore wear and tear of horse flesh
and of vehicles. A wagon on the level,
could all friction and the opposition of
the atmosphere be removed, would
when started run of itself till it was
stopped; but when a hill came in the
way, the wagon and its load would
have to be lifted as high as the hill.
Now the work of the team attached to
the load is to overcome only this fric-
ton and opposition of the atmosphere
on the level road, but when It reaches
the hill there is added the burden of
lifting the load to the hilltop. But
this lifting is lcssened in proportion to
the degree of inclination of the hill,

BANGS LITTLE SCHEME.

It Would Have Worked All Right Had His
Wife Carried Out Her Part. =
Bangs was anxious to join a party of
night owls for a Saturday nights frolic
in the city a few weeks ago.
Just what excuse to make to his wife
puzzled him. Bangs has beautiful
summer home in the country within
an hours ride of his Office. Bangs and
1 were schoolboys together. I am .
frequent visitor at his home. Bangs
had an idea; he thought of me.
II say, old chap" said he, when we
met, II want you to do me big favor.
You see, 1 have-that is I-well, have
some business on hand that will keep
me in the city until late tonight. Now,
I want you to entertain Lucy while l
am away. She'll be so lonesome, you
know. She wants to go to the theater.
Suppose you telegraph her that you
have tickets Tell her to meet you at
the Grand Central depot Take her to
dinner, the theater and to supper after
ward. Be sure you catch the midnight
train, though. I'll foot the bills
And then the villain confessed. ''Just
me fits if she knew. I'm played out for
excuses. But this, I know, will work
admirably. I'll go home now as u bluff.
Then I'll be there when she receives
your telegram and urge her to go. I'll
be greatly surprised, too. Change will
do her good, and all that. Ill stay
home and mind the house. Dye see?
''Then I'll go out for a walk. She will
not wait for my return, but will go
right to the depot. OF course I'll be in
the city before she is. I'll return on
the eleven o'clock train, jump into bed,
and pretend to be asleep when she
comes in. I'll even matters up with her
the next day by gentle scolding for
staying out so late. She'll let up on
me then for my past misdeeds.''
l. agreed. The telegram was sent.
Bangs went home and returned to the
city as agreed upon. The scheme was
working beautifully until I received
this dispatch:
Sorry, can't come. LUCY.
Shortly before midnight Bangs
poor, deluaed Bangs!-opened the gate
There was a light in his front parlor,
but he failed to notice it. ''My sweet
hearts the man in the moon," he war;
bled as he opened the front door.
He gave a start. His cigar dropped
from his fingers. IL thought'-he
gasped. Before him, like an avcnging
Nemesis. stood his wife.
II don't think / know" said Mrs.
Bangs, and the look she gave Bangs
nearly froze all the blood in his veins.
I never could get Bangs to tell me
just what happened afterward. Mrs.
Bangs, however, informed me on the
following Sunday when I called that
shat night is a subject I do not care

FARM DAlRY1NG.

Select Good Cows and Raise Good Corn
for Sotling.
There are Il good many requirements
for success in managing q farm dairy,
says 4 writer in Practical Farmer. 1t is
saving the little wastes which puts the
balance on the right side Of the ac-
count at the end of the year. Select
cows which will test five per cent. fat
in the milk, of whatever breed you
choose, and use only full-blood sires,
and you will soon have cows which will
do their part toward placing the bal
ancc on the profitable side. Give them
good food 365 days in the year and
plenty of pure water. Provide good
pasture in summer and some good soil
ing crops to feed when the pasture COM
menccs to dry up in early autumn. For
soiling crop I consider corn tho
best and cheapest. l give them six
hills of corn each day after they have
become accustomed to it. For my
earliest soiling 1 use Early Cory corn
planted in hills two and IL half by two
and half feet apart. 1t natures suffi-
GENTLY for feeding in about sixty days
from the time of planting and is good
for table use rs we'll as for cow feed.
Estimate the amount of it you will
need for three weeks feeding. Plant
enough Early Minnesota sweet corn for
the next three weeks and enough Nam
moth Sweet to last until winter. Only
a small percentage of the dairymen of
the country realize the value Of sweet
corn food for milk cows. For Win
ter feed I consider ensilage valuable,
furnishing cheap and succulent food.
Plant for cnsilage the largest growing
variety of corn which will mature in
your locality. Raise as much of your
grain feed on the farm as possible and
feed good grain ration during the
winter.

RIGHT OR LEFT HAND.

Reasons for Giving to tho Latter Some of
the Honor Paid to the Former.
The despised left hand makes good
It's claims in many cases to be the
DETER of the two. The fingers that
touch and adjust with such nicely the
strings of the violin are surely as cum
ming as those that move the bow. The
hand that guides the reins and steers
with exactness the horse through the
crowded streets is quite as cunning as.
one might say much more than, the
hand that yields the whip. But great
is fashion, unanswerable is theory. 1t
would appear that as life becomes more
and more complex we are becoming
more and more specialized, and
the difference between our limbs is
encouraged rather than hindered, by
every pair of scissors turned off at Shelf
field, by every screw made in Birming-
ham and by every slap administered to
the young offending fingers that would
dare to shake hands incorrectly.
1t is curious to note the vagaries of
humanity in cases where no hard and
fast line has already been drawn. AL
though most right-handed persons put
on their coats left arm first, a consider
able percentage thrust in the right
first. Soldiers fire from the right Shout
der, but Sportsnen are found who pre-
fer the left In working with the spade
a proportion of right-handed men grasp
the spade with the left and push with
left foot and right hand; though, when
using an Ak, the same individuals would
grasp furtlaest down the r. ght. The
Persians mount their horses from the
right side, which is the different side
from that mounted by Europeans.
The buttons on coats, etc, are placed
on the right side and the shed of the
hair in boys to the left evidently to suit
manipulation by the right hand. The
great philosopher Newton records that
at first he confined his astronomical OBJ
servations to his right eye, but after
ward he managed to train his left. But
there are persons who could not do
this, owing to the unequal strength of
their eyes. Strange to say, the Chinese
assign the place of honor to the left.
At Kunycnye, in Africa, Cameron re-
lates being introduced to the heir pre-
sumptive to the throne, the nails Of
whose left hand had been allowed to
grow to an enormous length a sign
of high rank, proving that he was never
required to perform manual labor, and
also providing him with the means of
tearing the meat which formed his
usual diet.-Chambers' Journal
