LEO'S SEVENTEENTH ANNIvER-
SARY.
The seventeenth anniversary Of the
coronation Of Pope Leo XIII. was cele-
brated at Rome Sunday with solemn
pomp and ceremony. Preceded by all the
members of the sacred college OF cardi-
nails at present in Rome. the Pope borne
in the Sedia Geststoria. was carried from
his apartments to the magnificent Sistine
chapel, where most OF the solemnities at
which his Holiness officiates in person
take place. About thousand persons
were admitted to the Sala Ducaie and
Sala Regia, through which salons the
Pope was borne. As his Holiness APP
preached he was greeted with acclama-
tons. many OF the spectators falling upon
their knees as the head Of the Church
on earth passed along TO his devotions.
Diplomats. knights Of Malta. members
OF the pstrician families, and foreign visi-
tors crowded the chapel. Cardinal Vannu-
tell celebrated mass. the Pope assisting.
After the singing of the ''Te Deum." the
procession was reformed and the Pope
withdrew from the chapel with the same
ceremony that marked his entrance.

ORCHARD AND GARDEN.

Give verbenas a rather rich but light
soil.
Soil and location will change the
character of fruit.
In setting out strawberry plants be
sure to spread the roots out evenly.
In pruning trees of any kind it is bet
ter to have one strong limb than two
weak ones.
Thoroughly ripe, fresh fruit is pleas
ant to the taste, cooling TO the system,
nourishing and laxative.
The grape is inexpensive to plant,
bears early, is productive and easily
managed.
Now is a good time to make grape
cuttings. Let each cutting have three
or four eyes and be planted in dry,
loose soil, so that only the top bud will
be exposed.
One reason why plants do not sue
coed in window culture is lack of hui
Nudity N the air. The principal rea-
sons why plants so often do well In u
kitchen window is because there is
more moisture in the air.
Make cuttings of young wood about
eight inches long with bud close to
the lower end, stick them into we'll
prepared soil in rows three feet apart
Stick them ut an angle of about As de-
grees, as in this way the soil will settle
more firmly about them. Leave only
one bud above the surface. Then cover

or gravel, or iron. The state does net
need to employ engineers to tell people
that; and comparatively little study
would enable any supervisor to build a
road out of any of these materials.
The question as to what kind of stone
is best might not be generally under.
stood. Limestone Is too soft, though
in our cities great many streets are
improved with limestone. But it will
not stand constant teaming. The hard.
er the stone the better; and now the
construction of good road consists Of
making it of hard, tough stone or
gravel, at least six inches deep, or
deeper. II practical. Build it the best
you can. Put as much stone on 1t as you
can pay for. Certainly there should be
six inches of stone. How wide shall be
the improvement? Wide enough for a
wagon, with improved turnouts at rea-
sonable distances, on which wagons
meeting those coming from an opposite
direction can stand while the approach
ing wagon passes. This will be the
cheapest plan and can be adopted even
when gravel is used, for only in excep.
tional instances in the west is gravel so
abundant that we can afford to use 1t
extravagantly. Now as to drainage.
This is an important matter. Water
must be kept off and out of the road.
The simplest manner of drainage is by
bitches on each side, and ordinarily
this method will answer all purposes.
IL thing is resorted to it is governed by
the same rule as field drainage.
AS 1t is practically out of the ques-
ton to make an artificial foundation
for the ordinary road, the natural foun-
dation will depend for solidity on
thorough drainage. AS to the cost:
This depends so much on circumstances
that an estimate that will do for all
sections of course cannot be made. The
railroads should carry the material for
roadmalting free. That is as little as
they could do to improve their great
and vitality important feeders-the COM
mon highways. The agricultural de-
partment at Washington gives it out
that some of the railroads have agreed
to do this, while others have consented
greatly to reduce the cost of trans
portation. There is one way that the
state could construct roads cheaply, as
far as the labor would go. That is to
employ convicts for roadmaking. We
have an army of these people, and there
is fierce opposition to their employ
ment in any kind of labor that will COM
pete with outside mechanics. Here is
an opportunity to employ them on
work that completes with nobody, for
nobody wants to do this kind of work.
Let the state provide the machinery
for crushing stone and have the con-
victs do the work.-John ii. Hobbs, in
Farmers Voice.

Governor of the State Appears Interested
In the Movement.
Delegates to the road parliament re-
Gently held at Atlanta, Ga, went home
in most instances with stronger de-
termination to follow up the road agi-
tation in their several localities.
In Hastings, Mich, it has resulted in
a revival of good-road interest which
seemed to call for something more
prompt than the passing of laws.
A large sum of money has already
been raised by voluntary subscriptions
and active work was begun last week.
The matter was considered enough
of an event TO warrant number of
prominent business men in going out
into the country and shoveling the first
load of gravel.
At Lansing there is movement
started, backed by the Michigan dele
gates who went to Atlanta, which looks
to the calling of n convention to be held
in that city for the purpose of discuss
ing the subject of an improved system
of roads for Michigan. 1t is understood
that the governor will issue the call
and that the outcome is likely to be in
teresting.

How Progressive Agriculturist Views

No one disputes the advantages of
good roads. There Is no one who does
not desire good roads. But. like good
many other good things that we de-
sire,we cannot always see our way clear
to get them. We are often compelled
to get along with what is inferior be-
cause we have not the means of getting
something better. There has been q
great deal of talk about road improve
ment, and the belief seems to exist
among certain classes that the farmer
does not know enough to know that he
needs better roads, and that hence
there must be u campaign of education.
The farmer knows quite as well as the
bicycle rider what he needs, and he
knows much better that If the entire
expense of making n road that will
please the bicycle people is to fall OH

ton. 1t would confiscate his farm To
do it, while it would not cost the vast
majority Of the bicycle people red
cent cent. The movement for good
roads is not primarily in the interest of
the farmer, but in the interest of the
townspeople; and the townspeople have
a very much greater interest in good
roads than the farmer has. He could
live If the roads were so bad that he
never could get to town. The trades
man could not. Chicago is deeply in
terested in having good roads in this
county; the railroad, the manufac.
turer, the merchant, all classes in the
cities, are interested, and that being the
fact, the wealth and business enter

SOME STRANGE BOATS.
THO oldest Sort of Craft That Float tho
Waters.

or all the uncommon forms that boats
take the newest, instead of beng strange
and complicated, like most 10Th century
inventions, are almost as simple as any
thing that floats. Only RATS of logs are
more simple than what we call our
scar floats" They are the newest type
of boats we know and have come into
being because New York city is on an
island, with only few railroads cross
ing to it from the mainland. The other
great and little railways, which bring
and take goods and people to and from
New York, all stop on the opposite
shores of our harbor in New Jersey,
Staten Island and Long Island. Since
the cars of one railroad often have to
go past the city upon the other roads,
these floats" are used to transport
them around our island, go that goods
from Boston or Sag harbor, for in
stance, can be sent around New YORK
TO the tracks of the roads that Will
carry them to San Francisco without
unloading or reloading. The floats
that carry these cars are merely boxes,
the shape of great dominoes, with rail-
road tracks laid upon them. Some
carry six freight cars, some carry eight,
and some carry ten cars. Tiny little
propellers that we call "tug boats" are
warped or hitched alongside of these
clumsy floating boxes, where they look
as little kitten would appear beside
big st. Bernard dog or rs locomotive
would look beside house. But our
queer, snorting, fussy little tugboats
march away with every floating thing
to which they are hitched-even drag
ging huge Atlantic steamships ut their
sides-because they reach down deep
into the water, where their big screws,
driven by very powerful engines, OBJ
tain mighty hold. Because our tug
boats are so small and yet so strong
they are able to move swiftly when
they have no burdens to carry.
The floats that carry passengers
around New Y6rk so that they can go
to Boston from Philadelphia or Chicago
without changing cars (and even with
out getting out of bed on the sleeping
cars) are not floats at all. They are
very powerful and large steamboats,,
with decks covered with iron plates,
with car tracks on these decks, and
with arrangements for locking the car
wheels fast to the tracks, SO that no
matter how boisterous the water may
be on stormy days, the cars cannot
break loose and roll overheard. We
have several queer sorts of boats
and other floating objects that look
like floating houses. Among them are
what we call our floating baths, and
our floating docks, and our cattle and
ice barges. But there is one kind of
floating building that looks like q
tower or steeple riding the waters
and steering itself around. The
strange thing-and we employ many
such-is n floating grain elevator. It
is tall, four-sided tower, built upon
squat, snub-nosed boat. 1t has n great
proboscis that it sticks down into canal
boats full Of grain, which it sucks or
dips out so that it can lead the grain
into the holds of ships that are to carry
It to Europe.-Harper's Round Table.
