Life on the Ocean Wave.

During the Cheated term"-and
it has been super heated so far this
summer-"a home on the rolling
Deep has many attractions; but
for the average boy the sea pos
sesses fascination at all times, and
the boys who are so fortunate as to
have the opportunity to crafty
their ambition "to go to sea" are
usually the envied oftheir associates.
A bright and charmingly illustrated
article in Demorest's Magazine for
July, 'The Making of a Sailor"
tells about the life aboard the
school ship st. Mary's, where boys
are trained to become thorough and
expert sailors, and where work and
play are so judiciously mingled
that there is no danger of Jack be-
coming dull boy. In the same
number is a paper on "Colonial
Philadelphia" containing some
quaint facts and embellished with
illustrations of old landmarks that
are of special interest. A question
apropos to the mouth, els Fourth
of July Celebrated Patriotically?"
is answered by members of "The
Sons of the American Revolution,
military men, and others, and their
opinions are worthy of considera-
ton. The stories are bright and
amusing, and the numerous de-
partments are full of suggestions.
Those who like dainty belongings
should read AAll Sorts of Sachets,"
in Home Art; "Physical Training
an Antidote to Old Age" is a
subject discussed in Sanitarian;
there are some excellent hints for
amateurs in Horticulture in "The
Winter Window Garden; and
"Hints Concerning Marketing" in
Household, will be of use to all
housekeepers. Taken all together
this is a charming number of this
always popular family magazine,
which is published for - a year.

The Origin of Story Attributed to TWEEN
ty Handsome Women.

ty Handsome Women.
Lady Harriet D'Orsay was really, ao-
cording to Mr.. Sala in his "reminiscences
published recently, the heroine of q
story which has been told in at least 20
forms of 20 different ladies of fashion.
She was presiding at a stall at vente
de charlie, or bazaar, held in aid of
the fund of some asylum or another,
when there came up the Duke of Or
leans, son and heir of King Louis Phi
lippe The duke, after some polite small
talk, began to extol the beauty of her
hair, and indeed her Henrietta Maria
couture had never looked glossier or soft
err than it did this day.
"Oh," said his royal highness, "if
could only possess one of those enchant-
ing ringlets!"
Chow much would monseigneur give
for one, - asked Lady Harriet gfavely,
"5, 900 francs?'
Give thousand francs!'' repeated the
duke. "a mere bagatelle!'
''Six thousand francs?"
Anything SO charming lady chose
to ask. -
ST will not be extortionate, pursued
Lady Harriet ''We will say 5000"
And then she very composedly pro-
duced dainty little pair of scissors,
shipped off the adorable Henrietta
Maria ringlet, wrapped it in silver pa
per and handed it with dignity to the
duke. His royal highness looked very
straight down his nose, and returning
Lady Harriet's salute stalked some
what gloomily away. But his privy
purse duly forwarded the money next
day.

Better Roads.

Better Roads.
A committee appointed by the
Cecil Farmers Club to report plan
for securing better roads made the
following report at the last meeting
of the club, held at w. L. Gillespie's:
Report: We, the committee APP
pointed at a meeting of the Farmers
Club at A. j. Michiner's April 18th,
1895, to make suggestions for the
permanent improvement of roads,
would beg leave to make the follow
ing suggestions:
AS electricity seems to be the
coming motive power, and trolley
roads are multiplying very rapidly,
the day is not far distant when a
portion of our roads will be used
for trolley lines between large towns
and perhaps villages in our county.
We would recommend large eX-
penditures of money in building
macadam roads at this time in our
county, being situated as we are
between the great cities of the
country.
But when the road bed is COM
posed of soft, spongy clay, we
would suggest that crushed stone
be used in making the driveway,
to be put on not less than ten
inches deep in the center of the
road and fourteen feet wide. AS
we believe certain money should be
set apart each year by our County
Commissioners for the purpose of
piking such roads. There have
been several pieces of road in the
Sixth District covered with crushed
or broken stone within the last few
years, although it has been done
in a haphazard way and at differ
ent times, we find it has been a
great benefit to the public con-
venience, particular in drawing
heavy loads.
We would furthermore suggest
that road leagues be formed in the
several districts of the county to
take the matter in charge, and urge
upon the County Commissioners to
set apart a certain amount of money
each year be expended in the
several districts of the county for
the purpose of draining and piking
said roads.
We would also suggest that port
able stone crushers be used instead
of hammers, as stone broken by
hand is very expensive, and by
using stone of good quality for the
purpose we believe with proper
damage the roads so treated would
need but little repairs for some
years to come, and furthermore we
would get rid of the annual applica-
ton of additional clay being put on
to work up into dust in dry weather
and mud in wet seasons.
We would also recommend the
use of wide tire wagons in tran
sporting heavy loads of merchan-
disc from one point to another in
oar county, and the width of tire to
be increased in proportion to the
load to be carried, and we believe
that the construction of stone roads
will cost one third less, if wide tire
wagons were in general use. Inas-
much as our Commissioners have
not the authority to order the use
of wide tire as is done by municipal
authorities in cities, we believe
them not justifiable in so doing.
But as an inducement we think
that the taxes should be abated on
persons using wide tire wagons.

EMPoRIA, Kan, Sept "a severe
wind and rain storm passed over En-
poria about 3 o'clock yesterday after

though. as far as can be learned, no
lives were lost.
The most damage was done at the
State Normal school, the new east
wing. which cost so, 900 and was but
lately dedicated, being reduced to a
| mass of ruins, The north gable end
was blown in and the roof rolled up
like paper and carried off half block.
The entire inside of Albert Taylor
hall was open to the storm OF rain
The damage is estimated at about
$40 900.
The wreck. however, will not inter
fere with the school work, as fifty
rooms in the main building yet re
main uniniured. A special meeting o
the normal board OF regents has beel
called by wire for Tuesday at 2p. m,
Considerable other damage was dom
