The question of the construction of a
military road between Washington and
Baltimore is being agitated by the
business men of both cities. The idea
of the project seems to be that such a
road, well graded and ballasted, would
offer safeguard which neither city
should be without merely because no
necessity for it seems to exist in these
peaceful times Mr.. Wallace Stebbins,
a merchant of Baltimore, who has in
terested himself and many Others in
the matter, points out that in time Of
riot. or even invasion, the railroads
could be quickly rendered useless, and
the facilities for moving troops and ar
tillerv would then be found to be the
worst conceivable, for the road system
between the two cities is execra BILE
from a military point of view.

did you ever try putting up butter
in glass jars" asks Lsnda A. ZiPler, in
the Housekeeper's Weekly. I'VE put
some up in June and used it in October
and it was almost as fresh as when put
up. The jars were filed by putting in
a small lump of butter. then pressing
it down well with piece of hard wood
made 10 fit the mouth of the jar; then
putting in more and pressing it down,
until the jar was filled to the neck. The
neck was then filled with salt and a
cloth put on top and the lid screwed on
as tightly as possible"

A Systematic Plan Is Needed to Secure
Better Roads.
1t is unnecessary to refer at length to
the travelling wayfarer and to the COM
fort and facility which a good road af-
fords him in the progress of his travel,
nor need more than suggest the added
comfort of the wheelman and the Pc
destrian who seek the fresh, pure air of
the country in their trips for health and
pleasure.
The one prominent essential to the
attainment of road reform, and indeed
of every other reform OF similar mag
nitude in this country, is organization.
A favoring public opinion must first be
developed and directed in the channel
which tends to the most certain and
lasting success To a large degree, I

Diseases of plants may be eradicated
by omltting the crops that are subject
to diseases from the land for series of
years. The potato rot of the sweet po-
tato cannot be prevented except by
keeping sweet potatoes off the land
until the rot or its spores have been de-
stroyed by growing some other crop CD
the land that is not subject to the dis
ease. Onions, once a profitable crop in
Connecticut, became Improbable, and
the growing of them for awhile had to
be abandoned. Now the land seems TO
be adapted to onions again and they
are being grown with profit.

The People Must BE Educated.

The trouble in this country, in the
matter of roads, is not that our engi-
neers do not understand the art of road
building, but that the people at large
do not realize that our roads are exc

other equally civilized country, and
that the public is not ready TO pay for
good roads, not approaching the money

lection of this sort, the surest way to
prevent freezing on the walls is to
sheath up with matched boards on the
outside of the studding, thus MAX
ing dead air space. You
should, however, hang with hinges a
board jointed close, near the bottom,
and another near the top. These
should be left open until it 1ecomes
cold. and should be opencd again as
soon as the weather grows warm in
the spring. This allows a circulation
of air and dries out the moisture from

Peas Are Profitable.

The American Cultivator says: MANY
farmers have learned that the superior
ity of peas to corn for feeding hogs
makes them profitable grain to grow.
They take little labor. as the hogs will,
if need be. do the harvesting. They
enrich the soil, and if the stubble be
cleared so as not to be Powed under
they make an excellent preparation for
winter wheat: but if weeds ana pea
tops are plowed under they make the
land too light, causing it to I'LL with

CAVE AT KALIHI.
Description of an Old Native
BErying Place.

A Hawaiian lady at Kalihi tele-
phoned yesterday afternoon to her
husband, who was working in town,
that a stranger from the steamer
Australia wished to be allowed to
visit a cave at Kalihi belonging to
the family. The husband replied
that the gentleman could go as far
as the entrance and no further.
Micah Harvey, half-caste, the re-
puted owner of the cave, informed
an ADVERTISER reporter yesterday
that the cave is over 1000 feet long
and high enough for man to walk
upright the whole length with the
exception of few places, where
person is obliged to stoop some in
order to pass.
Mr.. Harvey said that in this cave
are deposited the remains of his
ancestors and relatives dating many
years back. The cavern is very
dark and a light is required in
order to explore its interior. The
only foreigner who has found last
resting place here is Captain Well
field, who died many years ago.
The entrance to this natural maui
solemn is sealed up, and is only
opened upon the death Of a MEM
Der of the family.

TRE W. g. HALL.
Her New Boiler Placed in Posi-
ton Successfully.

The new tWenty-four ton steel
boiler for the steamer w. G. Hall
was successfully hoisted from the
wharf and placed in position on
board the vessel yesterday morn
ing. Sixteen-inch pulleys were
used in hosting the big boiler and
the crane stood the test we'll. The
boiler was lowered into it's bed
plate without hitch. A few small
scratches on the woodwork was the
extent of damage incurred in lower
ing the boiler. 1t was exactly two
weeks ago yesterday since the Hall
was moved to her present berth to
have the old boiler removed, and it
will be six weeks yet before she
will be ready to resume her regular
route. The old boiler, which has
performed service for the Hall
since she was built at Port Blake
ly nine years ago, now lies with
six other large castaway boilers
belonging to several coasting
steamers on the beach near the
prison. The Halls new boiler tits
expected will do service for ten
years. 1t was built by the Homo
lulu Iron Works, and its cost is in
the neighborhood of $4,000. AL
the repairing of the
steamer Hall will cost the I. I.
S. n. Co. between twenty-five and
twenty-four thousand dollars, in
Guiding Marine Railway charges.
This large amount goes to laborers,
etc., in this city.
