There ought to be a law making 1t c capital crime to keep any letter more than six months More than half the trouble in this world-the sort of trou. ble. mean, that breaks peoples hearts and is occasionally aired in the divorce courts-is caused by letters foolishly preserved. Of course sensible people never write letters that all the world might not read. But all the sensible people are dead, for l venture to say there is not one of us who has not at some period of his life poured forth his soul in a letter he I'd give his ears never to have written. If you are a man, it doesn't So much matter, for even if your letters to your old sweetheart do fall into the hands of her present hus- band it ism t at all likely he Il read them. Men haven't enough curiosity in the matter. Honorable scruples? Not bic of it-simply lack of curiosity. But if you are n woman doesn't it make you writhe in spirit to think of those letters you wrote Jack or Will or George when you wero sure he was the only man in the world? Of course the girl he married has read them-trust a woman for that-and she has made fun of your souls outpourings, and-well, it's enough to turn ones hair white to think of it. Love letters ought to be written in ink that would fade in fortnight but so long as they are not people who keep them ought to be put into solitary | confinement for all the rest of their | Nvea WashinRtou PoaA

To show how valuable this information is considered to be fer the housekeeper. the last time We put this in print as an ad. it was copied by an out of town daily as reading matter. We say:
 For Cup of Delicious Tea." the Kettle must be filled with Fresh water and boiled quickly for about five minutes. There will be a sparkle from Tea made from fresh boiled water. that will not re- ceive from the hot water that has been boiled long and repeatedly. For mo lerate strength, it requires one tea spoon of good tea to half pint of boiling water. An ordinary teacup half full to quart of W ter will make a strong and in fusion for five persons. An earthen or china pot is the best vessel for drawing tea. Then put the tea in, allowing to heat for few minutes. adding the boiling water just ten minutes before 1t Is wanted to be poured out.

Roads of Cotton Cloth.

An interesting experiment is heing tried at Martha's Vineyard by the Mas saohusetts highway commissioners.
 The board has found in building mac, adamized roads that upon loose, sandy soils much stone is wasted by being driven into the sand. In such cases gravel, when accessible. has been placed upon tho sand to depth of three oS four inches, and OF this is laid the stone. By 50 doing thu cost is greatly reduced.
 There being no gravel at Martha s Vineyard, cheap cotton cloth has within two weeks been spread upon the sand. and ov.r thca the stone. It has been found that tho sand does not work up through the stone. so much less stone is required
 Layers of tarred pa er were tried. but without success, as Nne stone pressed through them. This is probably the first experiment ever made with cloth, and while the stretch on which it Is used is not long the showing will be none the less valuable. Boston Globe

collaring the conductor and asking him
string of questions in a breath. She
is a great trial. Her first attack begins
something like this:
.'Please put up this window. No,
never mind; l am afraid l will take
cold Yes, l guess you might as well
put it up. Well, l declare, did not
think it was so cold please put it down.

That is the mothers name, and maybe
she is named for her mother. It's

member the dear little things name.

plant of the Peerless refinery, Findlay,
with 100000 loss, half insured. A ben

Ten oil stills caught next and one
after the other exploded, sending flaming
oil over the surrounding buildings and
ground. Next two tanks of crude pc
troleum, containing $4,000 gallons,
caught fire, sending up red columns of
flame 200 feet into the air.
A mammoth tank of 10000 barrels
was fired into with a cannon, letting the
oil run out, where it caught fire. The Oil
is still burning and the smoke obscures
the heavens for miles.
