RACK WITH RICH TROPHIES.

Last spring notice was made in these
columns that Mr.. Henry A. Salzer, OF
the John A. Salzer Seed Co., La Crosse,
Wis, Americas leading Seed Growers
and Merchants, was in Europe in search
of rare seeds and novelties for the
American farmer and citizen.
Judging from their new catalogue, his
trip was an eminently successful one.
1t is brim full of rare things. OF es-
pecial merit we name the Bismarck
Apple, bearing the second year; the
Giant Flowcring Star Phlox, the Ger
man Coffee Berry; and for the farmer
the Victoria Rape, Germanica Vetch,
the Lathyrus silvestris, the Giant Spur
ry and Giant Incarnate Clover; SAGA
line, and dozens of other rare things.
This wide-awake firm is in the van,
and their catalogue, which is sent you
for cents postage, would be cheap at

Tho Ex-Governor of Pennsylvania Points
Out n Method.
Experience in many districts has
proved the practicability and economy
of making a few miles, at least, of good
permanent roadway each year. The
saving effected by increased efficiency
and by reduced expenses for repairs
has demonstrated that it is certainly
economy to make and keep up good
roads; and prevailing and we'll
directed local popular sentiment in
favor of such public enterprise will
generally suffice to secure them. The
enormous state appropriation to
schools has naturally created some de-
mand for state aid to road improve.
ments. But, as | pointed out in my
disapproval of the so-called "road law"
of 1891, and in my biennial executive
message of 1898, the difficulties in the
way Of such proposition are not only
the wide difference of opinion as to a
fair basis of apportioning state aid, but
the vast sums of money required for
the state to make any considerable
beginning at constructing roads in all
ohC ulStilCbS VI lIit by
providing that the counties and not
townships shall bear the original cost
of new roads, the law already recog-
nizes that public highways are con-
Germ reaching beyond township, Dor
ough or town lines; and certain classes
of bridges, too, are of such general use
and necessity that their construction is
undertaken by counties. So some pull
lie ways, traversing the direct route
between principal points or populous
centers, are of very general interest,
and might be required to be of extra
width and to be maintained with spe-
cial care.
Some legal provision might be made
to put these into control of the coun.
ties upon recommendations of the
grand jury approved by the courts; and
certain license taxes now paid to the
state might be diverted to the counties
to provide specially for the increased
cost of improving and maintaining
such highways. Well-grounded com
plant against the existing laws which
permit taxpayers to work out" their
road taxes is steadily increasing. In
these days of organization and sub
division of labor this relic of primitive
usages might be profitably abandoned.

A Boys Philosophy.

One of the favorite winter games OF
the small boy who lives along the Hud-
son is jumping laddie cakes" This
sport reaches its height just as the ice
in the river is breaking up, and when
the great cakes go floating up and down
with the tide dozen or more young
sters may be seen running from one
cake to another, and sometimes making
really dangerous leaps. One day boy,
apparently about nine years old, was
to be seen standing on a cake which
was rocking in somewhat alarming
manner, and the little fellow was cry
ing in frightened sort of way. What's
the matterP" called passer-by from
the shore. And then came the sobbing
answer: "Im afraid diss cake1l turn

ELIZABETH'S DINNER TABLE.
Pomp and Ceremony Attended n Meal
Spread for Good Queen Bess.

Spread for Good Queen Bess.
Queen Elixabeth's table was always
laid with the greatest solemnity. The
major-domo entered the banqueting-
room with his long white wand ac-
companied with retainer, bearing the
table cloth. Both kneeled three times
reverently before spreading the cloth,
after which they again kneeled and re-
tired. In like manner the ajor-domo
led in the man who carried the salt
cellar, the plates and the bread, when
the performance of kneeling was again
enacted. Two ladies of tito now en-
tered, one a matron, the other I'M
married. These Frustrated themselves
and the young lady rubbed the plates
carefully with salt and bread. After
that came the yoemen of the guard or
"beefeaters," each carrying a silver
dish. These were usually four and
twenty to course. A gentleman re-
ceived each dish, and after 1t was
placed by him upon the table, lady
took out small portion and gave it to
the man who had carried it so that he
might test whether. 1t contained poi
son. During all of these observances
the ceremonies of kneeling were con-
tinued, just as If the queen were
present, and the trumpeters blew their
horns and the kettle-drums sounded
loudly. When at last the queen entered
her private room leading out of the
hall each dish was carried to her by an
unmarried lady, and then placed on
the table. Then her majesty entered and
made her selection. The most peculiar
and solemn etiquette was observed
throughout the entire meal. The first
course usually consisted of wheaton
fiummery, broth or Cruel; the second,
fish, embracing lampreys, sturgeon,
stock fish, poor John and porpoise; the
third, quaking buildings, bag pud-
dings, black, white and marrow pud-
dings; the fourth, veal, beef, mutton,
capons, marrow pasties, wild fowls and
game, and the fifth sweets, custards,
jellies, warden pies, syllabuds, suckets,
marchpanes, followed by cheese and
tansy cakes. The drinks were ale,
beer, wine, sack and varieties of meth
egin, concocted out of herbs and redo
lent Of sweet smelling country per-
fumes.-N. Y. Advertiser.

DAIRY SUGGESTIONS.

EVERY moment spent in properly
making and packing butter for market
is a good investment
IT is pretty difficult accurately to
judge the quality of our own butter.
We are prejudiced witnesses. Let
somebody else pass Judgment on it.
WE are asked if 1t is advisable to
have few Jerseys in herd to in
crease the richness of the milk. Some
esteem them very valuable for that
purpose. Their cream adds to the color
of the butter.
MUCH of the butter that comes to
market is a mosaic, composed of varie-
gated colors. This is the product of the
handiwork of the country storekeeper.
Such butter is a detriment to the best
interests of all who have anything to
10 with it.-Farmers Voice.

Dainty Bureau scarfs.

The very latest bureau scarf and ac-
cessories seems too dainty for use, but
as the old notion that scarfs made for
the toilet table should launder has
fallen into disrepute that fact appears
to matter little, if at all. Assuredly
this boiling cloth outfit is lovely to
look upon It is made over pink silk,
and shows frilled edges, each one OF
which is first painted with wild roses,
then cut on the outline. There are
shown the scarf, the cushion, the box
for brushes and the usual complete
paraphernalia If any woman can af-
ford to use such perishable things and
is reckless of frequent removals with
her the departure will meet with sue

ask for something more serviceable,
but common sense is prosaic quality
and dainty fittings appeal to every eos.
