Good Roads.

President Blackstock, of the Good
Roads league, recently said the fol-
lowing in an interview:
eve do not wish to interfere with
the wishes of the farmer on the sub
ject. All we intend is to encourage
the building Of better roads. Let me
give you an example. In Sheboygan
county we have fifteen towns. These
towns have been spending on an aver
age Sc, 900 II year each on the roads. or
$45, 900 altogether. This has been 60
ing on for at least thirty-fve years.
The mileage Of each town is about So
and nearly $4,000 a mile has been
spent. Yet they are not one bit better
to-day than they were thirty-fve years
ago, except here and there a patch.
Now [ can gravel or place crushed
stone on the roads for from 5000 to
$500 a mile.
'EMy plan would be to appoint some
good, practical, sound-headedf farmer
for each farmers institute held in the
state. Let him study this road ques
ton and then let the institute have
him conduct one evening during its
session; by the end of two years a
sentiment would be created among
the farmers in favor of good roads,
and we might then appeal to the
legislature TO change our road laws.
With proper education on this
matter, at the end of five years we
shall have graveled or macadamized
roads all over the state, built at one
quarter OF what is now paid for bad

The Waukesha county lake canal

The Waukesha county lake canal
project is dead. In the assembly last
Wednesday Mr.. Harris, who intro
duced the bill to authorize the
Oconomowoc Lake Waterway and
Improvement company to improve
and make navigable certain lakes
and streams in Waukesha county, re-
ceived permission to withdraw the
measure This action was the result
of the great opposition that had
developed to the proposed scheme,
and it was probably the best course
to pursue under the circumstances.

Recent dfscoyerfes have demOnstrated that

Recent discoveries have demonstrated that
all the organs of the body are under the con-
troll OF the nerve centerS, located in or near
the base of the brain, and that when these are
deranged the organs which they supply with
nerve fluid are also deranged. When it is re-
membered that serious injury to the spinal
cord will cause paralysis of the body below
the injured point because the nerve force is
prevented by the injury from reaching the
p%ralyZed portion, it will be understood how
the arrangement of the nerve <,enterS will
cause the arrangement Of the various organs
which they supply with nerve force
the imperfect action of the nerve centers at
the base of the brain, not from a derange-
ment primarily originating in the organ it
self. The great mistake of physicians in
treating these diseases is that they treat the
organ rather than the nerve centers which
are the cause of the trouble.
DIR. FRANKLIN MILES, the celebrated spe-
cfaliSt,ha profoundly studied this subject for
over 20 years, and has made many important
discoveries in cOnnec ton with it, chief among
them being the facts contained in the above
statement, and that the ordinary methods of
treatment are wrong. All headache, dizZi-
ness, dizziness, confusion, pressure, blues,
mania, melancholy, insanity, epilepsy, ST.
Nitus dance, etc, are nervous diseases nc
matter how caused. The wonderful success Of
DR.. Miles Restorative Nervine is due to the,
fact thatit is based on the foregoing principle

A FRIVOLOUS AND SELFISH BIRD.
Immoral Lilo and Eviction Of Its Hosts and
Fellow Nestlings.

immoral LILO and Eviction Of Its Hosts and
Fellow Nestlings.
A popular fallacy tells us that
cuckoo lays eggs in another birds nest
She does not She lays eight eggs on
the ground. The eggs are In size, col
or, spots and shape In accordance with
the information obtained, say, In Leigh
woods: Out of the eight eggs five or
six would closely resemble the hedge
sparrow's. The other two might be
those Of titlark, wren or a linnet
Her male friends-about three or four
to each lady-now come forward, So
lect each an egg and carry it in its
mouth to the nest of the prearranged
foster mother. Only one cuckoo egg is
placed in one nest If he finds a cuckoo
has preceded him ON the same errand,
he seeks another cradle, knowing In q
moment, amid all the eggs present, the
cuckoo pedigree.
The deluded mother matches the in.
truder with her own brood, and the IN
terloper, having the faculty of being
Matched sooner than the others, is Of
course the first to come out of his she'll
He manages to wriggle underneath his
brothers and sisters and presents them
as heave offering to the expectant ro-
dents, mice, rats, stoats and what not,
and within IL hours of his existence is
the supreme occupier of the nest He
keeps his black mouth wide open contin-
ually, which the father and mother
of the departed chickens as constantly
fill until his body is too big for his
home, and he departs therefrom for
ever.
The cuckoo leaves the last week of
July. He is restless being, like the
soul of John Brown, always marching
on. After leaving Europe he begins in
the north of Africa and ends at the Cape
of Good Hope, whence he returns to
Europe in the spring Why does he go
away and why come back? Food-the
food he loves-the hairy caterpillar. lie
will eat other grubs, but these are his
hourly bread.
1t has been estimated in round num-
bers that out of every 100 hairy cater
pillars that wriggle into life 80 are de-
voured by cuckoos. Everywhere nature
is careful to maintain her balance The
cuckoo keeps down the millions of bill
lions of hairy caterpillars and preserves
our cornfelds from being eaten up by
hedge sparrows The cuckoo Is born
conservative, and as long as he lives re-
turns annually to the neighborhood Of
his birth. Western (England) Press

TAKEN FOR A GHOST.
An Amusing Experience of Young Irish
Traveller In Ghent,

An Amusing Experience of Young Irish
Traveller In Ghent,
Many years ago an Irish student, hav-
ing obtained travelling scholarship at
Oxford, went abroad to see the world,
of which he knew little Crammed with
the classics, he had not the slightest
knowledge of any modern language
save English.
On landing at the sleepy town Of
Ghent he put up at an old many pas
saged hotel and sailed forth in the even
ing to see the town Shortly after 8
o'clock he returned to the hotel through
streets ominously silent. He found the
doors shut and saw no signs Of life
within. After making noise enough to
rouse the ''seven sleepers" he heard the
sound of some one moving within.
The door was stealthily unbarred,
and some one-whether man or woman
he could not tell-holding a dim oil
lamp reluctantly gave him admission.
Then, barring the door and muttering
unintelligible sounds, the figure disap-
peared. The guest yelled for the waiter
and was answered by mocking echo.
He groped his way up the creaking
staircase and felt along the passage till
he came to an open door. Thinking it
the door of his room, which he had left
open to guide him, he entered. A shrek
was heard, and gruff voice called out
in French, "Who are your" He re-
treated and heard the door angr1ly shut
and bolted.
In little tinder box he had some ci-
gar fuses and wax taper. He lighted
one Of the fuses, but before he could ap
ply the fame to the taper 1t went out
After exhausting his stock Of matches
and filling the passage with a strong
sulphurous odor he was left in the dark
ness of despair.
He regained the staircase, descended
1t and found his way to subterranean
passage. There suddenly he heard =
piercing shrek and then a fall like
that of a carpetbag. Arushing of many
feet was followed by light.
The feet were those of walters and
chambermaids The fall was that Of a
plump English lady maid. The bearer
of the light spoke English, and from
him the stranger learned the cause o1
his rescue.
The fruitless attempts to light his Ia
per had covered his fingers with phos-
phorus from the matches. His gestio-
ulations had rubbed the phosphorus
over his clothes, and in the dark pas
sage he glowed with unearthly light
The lady's maids nerves were upset,
and she went into Mysteries Having
explained these facts, the waiter showed
the guest to his room. -Philadelphia

Worlds Fair OficiaIs Expose a Pre-
tender to an Award.
One of the odd results of the Worlds
Fair is the claim now made to awards by
some who were not even exhibitors. Of
ficials of the exposition have not as yet
taken final action in the matter, believ-
ing the quick wit of the people will de-
tect the spurious claims. But to the
case of New York baking powder, that
has been widely advertising an award,
the attention of the Chief of Awards for
Agriculture has been directed. He
brands the claim of this pretender as
false, declaring Neither the records oi
this department nor the official catalogue
of the Worlds Columbian Exposition
show that this New York company was
an exhibitor; consequently it could not
receive an award at the Worlds Fair"
Those who fairly won their honors at
the fair seem disposed to treat this
fraud as any other fraud should be treat
ed. The Price Baking Powder Company
of Chicago, having received the highest
award, say they are convinced their
claims and those of all other holders oil
rightful honors will be fully vindicated
by the public.

The devastation and suffering caused by
the flames of the wild prairie and forest
fires In the West last summer has a horri-

of property. Men, women and children by

their homes destroyed and hundreds
manned and crippled. 1t is painful to con-
template, but still important and charita.

used according to directions, is one of the
best cures for burns and scalds, and should
be kept on hand. There is no household
that should be without the great remedy
for pain, for there are none without the

and wounds 1t heals and cures like magic
