Resolutions of COINCIDENCE,

At a regular meeting of the Ladies'
Aid Society of the M. K. Church, held
on Monday, March 6th., 1898, the fol
lowing preamble and resolutions were
adopted:
WHEREAS, 1t has pleased an All.
wise and Loving Providence to remove
our beloved sister and co.worker, Mar
garet Nicholson, who departed this
life at her home in Grayling, Mich,
on the 2Sth. day of February last, and
that while death aud its contempla-
tions are always sad, it is never more
SO than when its subject is cut down
in the MONDAY of life, surrounded by
a loving family, every comfort and a
perfect home; when the trials and vi
cissitudes of busy life are well nigh
passed, and at the time when one feels
like resting by the wayside and enjoy
ing the fruits of their labor. Thus
stood our sister when the angel OF
death beckoned her to the shore be-
yond. But there is consolation in the
thought that when the SUNNI ons came
she was ready to meet it with forti-
tude that comes from a consciousness
of we'll doing and that the obligations
of life had been faithfully and trust
ingly met. Therefore be it
Resolced, That in her death this So
ciety loses one of its most loved mem
bers, and one whose wise counsels, wo-
manly wisdom and motherly syInpa-
thy and affection will ever remain a
shining example for those of us who
are left, to strive to emulate and per-
petuate her virtues.
ReSolUed, That TO the sorrowing hus-
band and family, we extend our sim
cerest sympathy in this their hour of
sorrow, and that we how with them in
the sudden taking away of our sister,
with willing. but saddened resigna-
ton.
ReSoJued, That a copy of these reso-
lutions be presented to the family, and
be published in the local papers.
Mary l.. Staley, Pres; Juliet A.
Butler, Vice Pres. Nettie Woodworth,
Sec. Maria L. Hanson, Treasurer.

the habit of visiting the Horticultural

Whnt Bad Roa,:. Cost the Country,

town, in recent memorial to the Leg
isature, demonstrated that bad roads
were costing the people of that common
wealth more than 81. 900, 900 annually.
Professor W. w. Carson of the Uni
versity of Tennessee, after careful in-
vestigation, found the average cost of
hauling to the Knoxville market by
wagon to be $3.50 per ton-aggrega-
ting 81, ,250, ,00e year on the total
tonnage hauled. He maintained that
this hauling could have been done for
half the sum over good dirt roads, and
for one-sixth of it over good nacadam
roads, saving 81 900, 900 annually.
Professor Richard L. Ely of the
Johns Hopkins University and Secre-
tary of the American Economic Asso-
citation, affirmed that poor roads cost
this country over 800 horse, ana
Professor jerks of Knox College, H.,
thinks SO horse a low estimate for
the loss. From papers calculated by
Professor Carson for an agricultural
experiment station it is shown that OH
gravel a horse will draw one and
half times the load, and on macadam
over three times the load he can drrw
OIL a dirt road.
AS to the cost of bad roads in the
United States, Judge Thayer says: 81
have made a careful computation from
such data as have been able to obtain
of the cost of bad roads, and I find
they tax what is understood tc la
agricultural products fully s135, ,OOO,-
900 annually. l think it a moderate
estimate to put the other contributions
to bad roads by the remaining traffic
of the country at an equal amount,
making a total of $27O, 900, ,OOO."

The Carnival in Rio De Ianei-o.

There are two totally distinct sea-
sons at Rio, when the town presents
an altogether different appearance; the
summer, which lasts from October to
April, aud the winter, from May to
September. In the summer, which is
the autumn and winter III Europe,
when the sun pours down into the
narrow streets, Rio is anything but an
agreeable place. The heat has driven
away the rich aud leisured classes.
the great merchants, the diplomatic
corps; in fact, all of any position or
fancied position hasten to the suburbs
on the breezy heights overlooking tho
city. or to tho little country towns in
the neighborhood, such as Petropolis
and Theresopolis, whilst others take
refuge OIL the islands of the bay.
The town becomes a perfect caldron;
but this does not prevent great ex-
element over the Carnival, which is
an institution TO which the Fluminen-
Ses, or river folk, are particularly de-
voted. This relic of the old heather
Saturnalia is fast disappearing from
Europe; and now that Italy is united
kingdom, it is no longer properly kept
up even in its former headquarters.
Rome and Venice.
At Rio, however. Carniyal-time is
livelier than ever, and there are So
cieties for celebrating it in grand
style. Shrove-Tuesday is kept in q
most characteristic manner, and is dis
tinguished not only by the richness of
the costumes and the originality of the
vehicles in the professions, but by the
absurdity of the caricatures in what
may justly be termed an open air re-
view of the chief events of the pre-
ceding year.
In the time of the empire the
ministers of Dom Pedro betrayed the
expenses of the Carnival, and though
a republic has now been established,
the old customs are kept up, and the
revolution are spared no more thaa
