. 20 watch the workings of these meas
ures when adopted and to secure any
possible improvement in them. The
next step is to make the best possible
use of convict la Dor in road building.
My own impression is that state prison
convicts will be best employed in the
preparation of road materials in quar-
~ camps or gravel pits. where they
can be guarded and secluded as easily
as in prisons, and that county prison
ers and tramps should do the grading
and all other preparatory work on the
roads.
In regions where rock is plenty, by
using the best machinery for crushing
stone and employing the convicts only
in quarrying and handling it an
amount of material could be produced
sufficient to macadamize all the roads
in the state as fast as they could be
prepared, and in addition to furnish
ballast for the railroads as a considera-
ton for their giving reduced rates on
road materials.
Of their own motion the railroads
are ready to contribute largely in this
way toward road improvement. In
their correspondence with the depart
ment of agriculture on the subject,
many have proposed to make half
rates or haul at bare cost whenever
general advance toward road i'm
provement shall begin, and the state
commission would be in position to
make better terms with them than any
private individual or local authority,
and better than we could do on behalf
of the general government without
the power to offer any definite assist
ance on its part in return.

NOTES ON DECORATION.
sensible Suggestions Regarding Household
Arrangements.

sensible Suggestions Regarding Household
Arrangements.
Let no piece of furniture be bought
that is not solid and of honest strength
and urability. The parlor table may
be plain, but let it be SO genuine that
when prosperous days come, and it is
relegated to the sitting room. nursery
or sewing room to give place to it's
more elegant successor, it may yet be
useful and substantial. AS nearly as
possible buy every bit of furniture with
the idea that it is to last your lifetime,
and try to choose such pieces as will be
comforta bic and satisfactory twenty
years hence. Scratches and marks that
use always brings can be dressed out"
of good wood. but ill-shaped pieces will
be an annoyance.
Gold embroidery holds a very promi-
nent place this season. In many of the
best designs the pattern is in gold
thread solely: in others, where colored
floss silks are used. gold threads are
freely intermingled. In the former
case the silk grounds are single col
ored. FavOrite combinations are gold
and white, gold and yellow, gold and
blue, gold and crimson. OF these the
light Japanese silks with gold outline
embroidery are likely to be the popular
favorites, because they are now offered
at unprecedentedly low prices, and
give a great of show for the money
qualities that especially commend
them.
In buying carpets of any or all kinds
the housewife will be better pleased if
she buys those of small designs, either
arabesque or conventionalized floral,
and which largely cover the ground
floor, both as a background to furni-
ture, old and new. and as a rest to the
eve. Carpets SO chosen will not be-
come monotonous, and will readily
adapt themselves to changes from one
room to another. Dark carpets are sell
dom satisfactory, as they are too SOM
Der and show dust badly. They are
only suitable for rooms of many win
dows. Light carpets soil easily and
add to the glare of very light rooms,
while those of medium tone are best
adapted to wear and to the cheerful
furnishing of usual rooms. Ingram,
tapestry. body brussels and all grades
of velvet have bordering woven to
match. This is priced by the yard,
according to its width, which may be
from nine to twenty-five and one-half
inches The buying of a border is a
matter of taste. Square orl large rooms
look more thoroughly finished if the
carpet has border, while in long, mar
row rooms a border unpleasantly de-
fines the lack of width. Carpets with
out borders make over better, and in
rented houses it is undoubtedly better
management to have borderless car
pets in all rooms.-Decorator and Fur

A BUST of Herod the Great, believed

cred at Jerusalem. 1t has been bought
by the Russian government for the
Hermitage museum at ST. Petersburg.
THE price Of Rembrandts continues
to rise steadily in the art markets from

WILLIAM L. EI.KINs, the railway trac-
ton magnate of Philadelphia, has

Academy of Fine Arts a prize Of S., OOO

GEORGE DU MAURIER, the novelist,

students together at Antwerp, and re-

DAIRY SUGGESTIONS.

Poor ventilation is uudou btedly fa-
vorab BILE to the development of tuber-
culosis.
DoYo favor stanchions for cows?
we are asked. We were never much
of an admirer of stanchions.
GET a separator and power. and
make the bull or the dog furnish the
power according to the size of the ma.
chine.
Cool the cream from a separator inn
mediately to low temperature. If it
is to be kept for two or three days cool
to forty degrees
If the cow kicks you may know that
there is cause, and if it is not re-
moved at once she may contract the
kicking habit for good.
The same COW may not give the
same quantity of milk or milk of the
same quality day after day. There is
often a very marked difference.
How MUCH grain is proper to feed
with ensilage? we are asked. That
depends on how much corn there is in
the ensilage. Mr. Gurler, in American
Dairying, says that when there is
enough corn to make forty bushels to
the acre, he feeds mature cows FIVE
pounds of wheat shorts and five pounds
of granagluton teed.--Far mers' Voice.

door. The time needed to fit this up,
is scarcely worth the mentioning
when one reflects upon the rich, red
fruit thus saved from ''spoiling." The
closet may be large or small, with
more or less shelves, according to the
amount of the fruit raised. When
filled it should be set in warm, moist
place and inspected from time to time
in order to remove any of the fruit
that may have ripened, before there is
possibility of decay and consequent
harm to the rest The convenience of
the sliding shelves is apparent here,
as whole shelf full may be inspected
at glance by slipping out the shelf.
Darkness is the important thing, and
the closely-ftting door at once secures
that, leaving only the necessary
moisture and warmth to be attended
to.-Americen Gardening.

SUNLIGHT AND TREES.
Subject That Is Soon to Be IDvesti-

Subject That Is Soon to Be InvestI-
gated by the Government.
Trees, as {. rule, develop best in the
full enjoyment of light, air and heat,
but their capacity for growth under
opposite circumstances varies greatly
with the species. The yew, for in
stance, will thrive and make wood"
rapidly in the densest shade; or, in
other words, in Situations where the
oak would barely live and the larch.
elder and birch would fall into rapid
decay and early death. In open places
naples, sycamores, elms and several
other species grow into healthy,
rugged trees in short time, while in
shade they 'shoot up slim and spin
ding, with scraggy limbs and thin,
poorly-colored foliage. Conifers such
as the spruces and frs have the
greatest capacity for growing in the
shade and preserving their foliage in
rich, healthy colors despite the re
moval or partial shutting out of the
light. In this country sufficient data
to enab BILE one to catalogue forest trees
according to their capacity to grow in
partial darkness has not as yet been
collected, but rules based on European
experience have been carefully formu-
lated and laid down down as guides
for those engaging in arboriculture.
The leading botanical writer's of the
country are now agitating the subject
of Sunlight VS.. Trees" and it is not
at all improbable that the whole mat
ter will, within the near future, be re-
ferred to the United States division of
forestry. SO that a series of expert
ments and observations may be carried
out by government experts.-St. Louis
Republic.

EARLY THANKSGIVING DAYS.

THE first recorded Thanksgiving was
the Hebrew feast of the tabernacles.
THE first national Thanksgiving
proclamations were by congress during
the revolutionary war.
THE first national English Thanks
giving was on September 8, 1888, for the
defeat of the Spanish Armada
THE New England Thanksgiving
dates from 1888, when the Massachu-
sets Bay colony set apart a day for
thanksgiving.
THERE have been but two English
Thanksgivings in this century. One was
on February -. 1872, for the recovery
of the prince of Wales from illness; the
other, June 81. 1887. for the queens
jubilee.

About the yvintering OF Onions.

We are asked how to winter onions.
Do not try to winter them. They are.
too perishable too fool with. They
will rot and shrink, if kept, and should
be sold as early in the fall as possible.
Still they can be wintered. w. Alice
Burpee gives several ways of doing it
and they are practical. They can be
pitted like apples, covering somewhat
more lightly and leaving a chance for
ventilation at the top. Or they can be
spread in a dry loft, piled up foot or
more high, and at the approach Of Sc
we're weather covered with straw, hay
or mating. Light freezing does not
hurt them, if they are allowed to thaw
gradually and not handled while
frozen; but if exposed to a tempera-
ture lower than fifteen degrees above
zero, they are liable TO rot. They can
be wintered in slitted barrels and in
crates and baskets in the cellar quite
cessfully.-Farmers' Voice.
