The Best of DishwaShcrs.

Nothing, says writer i'll the New
York Times, makes n better dishcloth
than no cloth ut all, but whisll broom.
Tho practice of using any old rag, an
old stocking cut open, which is tradi-
tional country cloth, or any similar
thing i'll sinks is we'll known to be fool
ish. Bits wear off and become added
clogs to the drain pipes. If cloths must
be had, those Of coarse mesh, loosely
knitted from tightly woven cord, are
the best Of the kind. A broom, however,
is very much better. Select n short,
stubby one. and a trial will show its
superiority. To scrape the bottom of
saucepans and pots there is nothing SO
good. The wire cloth is not SO clearly.
Bits of food will get in its intorsticcS
and will not easily get out, but nothing
clings long to whisk. Hold it under
the faucet for moment after using,
and it is quickly and thoroughly
cleansed. Hanging over the sink i'll my
kitchen are always two or throo of these
brooms, one kept for plates and any pot
terry dishes, the other for metal ware.
Silver and glass are not washed there
to begin with, and il any washing
need no dishcloth.
And, while on the subject, cheese
cloth makes the most satisfactory OF
glass toweling, Get the coarse sort that
costs only and 6 cents a yard, cut it
in yard lengths, hem all around, and
once tried they will never be missing

very few years would elapse before ev-
cry county would receive immense bene-
fit from the improvement, and the farm
property in every county would be in
creased in value many times more than
the amount of the tax paid by its own
ers. A sum of $2, 900, 900 per year for
road purposes means a tax Of about 90
cents ON each thousand dollars worth
Of farm property, or about IS ON the
farmer whose property is assessed at

what few there are, are but mule paths
and are only passable during the dry
season. That from Quito to its port
Gnayaquil, is entirely impossible for
merchandise during the six or seven
months of the rainy season, and pas

Graxel Roads Of Missouri.

Tho first requisite for stone or gravel
roads is the material. If this be plenti-
full and cheap, permanent roads may be
easily obtained. Pike county, Mo, has
a system of turnpike roads, comprising
about % miles, that is not only the finest
in the west, but known in all parts of
the country Not only are these roads of
immense advantage to the farmers and
business men of the county, but they
form no small part of the fame which
Pike county itself has attained in the
outside world. The Pike county roads
are of gravel and are kept in splendid
repair from the inexhaustible supply
