which would follow their labors in the
erection of the capitol building which
adorns this wonderful city. Every
human being on earth is fulfilling his
functions in a narrow sphere, but they
do not realize that they are carrying
out infnitesimal parts of the work
which has been planned by the Su-
preme Architect of the universe. And
so the men and women who partici-
pated in the laying of the corner stone
of the District of Columbia realized but
family that they We're aiding in the ac-
complishment of a work which shall
last forever. 1t was not given unto
them to dip into the future and see the
wonders of the new world, and view
with prophetic vision the capital city
of a republic which should be the parlia-
ment of mankind.
The corner stone was set at the origi-
nal point of survey, and the place
was selected by that experienced
civil engineer and surveyor, George
Washington. 1t is a singular
fact that when the location of the
corner stone was selected by Gen.
Washington it was outside the limits of
the district, as described in the act of
congress authorizing President Wash
ington to choose location for the per-
manent seat of government. This act,
which became law July 16. 1870, gave
the president power to select a site any
where along the Maryland or eastern
side of the Potomac river between the
mouth of the eastern branch and the
Conococheague, the latter being a
stream which enters the Potomac at
Williamsport, Md, not far from Hagers-
town.
Every man in this country has more
or less state pride, and George Wash
ington was proud of Virginia. There
can be no doubt that he expected that
the national capitol would be builded
largely in Virginia; and that he in
tended the growing city of Alexandria
to be the nucleus of the future city. It
was manifestly his idea that the capitol
building would be on Capitol hill, far
away from the business part of the
great city which would be built. There
fore he located the corner stone south
of Alexandria. Moreover, he placed it
within a few miles of his home at Mount
Vernon. He was master of the situation
and practically a dictator in all matters
at that time. For reasons of his own,
which were never uttered or written,
he reached the conclusion that a portion

of the territory of Virginia, inclu1ing
the city of Alexandria, ought TO be
made part of the new federal district.
and in announcing the selection of the
e.he stated that the initial point of
the surveys of the district boundary
line would begin at Hunting creek
south of Alexandria.
Congress gave its sanction to this
change and passed an amendatory act
which extended the lines of the district
so as to take in slice of the scil of
the Old Dominion, as well as territory
south of the Eastern branch. The rite
of the corner stone, having fc tw
months pending this action of Congress
been outside Of the district, was
allowed to remain within the juris-
diction of the federal government for
period of hftv-five years. Then in the
year 1876 the act of retrecession was
passed and tine state of Virginia again
assumed authority over the territory
where the corner stone was located.
And thus It happened that nearly Ean
= century after he was gathered unto
bis fathers, the plan of Washington was
nullifed and the national capital was
placed entirely on the north side of the

brought about by the influence of the

Suggestion for Melon Grousr..

In preparing land for melons in the
future, the department of agriculture
says: Growers will ind it of great ad-
vantage TO pillow in the fall-early
rather than late-and leave the land
bare during the winter. Then, in the
early spring, as soon as the grass be-
gins to come up in adjoining fields,
sprinkle here and there throughout
the field which is to be planted to
melons, punches of grass, or any other
green vegetation which has previously
been poisoned by sprin king with
paris green in solution. Such of the
cutworms as may be present in the
land will feed upon this vegetation and
will be killed. 1t will also have the
effect of destroying many of the wire

Its Inventor Claims TO Have brought II
Down to Practical shape.
The electric weed-killer, which was
experimental upon some time ago with
varying results. is said to have been
brought down to practical shape. The
device was intended originally for the
destruction OF grass and weeds along
railroads 1t is now proposed TO ex-
tend its application to land covered by
nOxiOus weeds, such as the Canadian
and Russian thistle, cookie burrs and
the like. II is expected TO TIE especially
valuable in the destruction OF plants of
the thistle tribe, in which the root
must be destroyed in order to annihi-
late the weed. 1t is claimed that the.
use of the electric wesd-killer will re-
duce the cost OF keeping railway lines
clear of vegetation from $40 to $50 per
mile per year The operation of the
device is based on the varying con-
ductiyity of vegetables; the more
moisture they contain the less re-
sistanee they offer to the current. The
apparatus consists of an alternating
generator mounted on car, producing
electricity at 1000 volts pressure. and

current, after being raised to the re-
quired voltage, is conducted through
series of fine wires or brushes" TO the
tops of the weeds or grass; the. other
side of the current being made through
the wheels OF the car to the ground.
The current leaps from the suspended
brush to the weeds, and passes through
them to the ground, thus, completing
the circuit The current traverses the
entire length of the plant, from the
leaf to the roots. rupturing its

ing it The root is. generally affected
more than the rest of the plant, from
the fact that it contains more moisture.
In many cases the current, in passing,
heats the plant to such an extent that
it cannot be held in the hand It is
said that the apparatus can be quickly
equipped, and at no great expense.

HARD COUNTRY ROADS.
Until We Have Them Public PrOsDerit.
Is Bound TO Su9ier.

At this time of the year we can ap-
preciate good roads fully. and It is to
be regretted that we forget how incon-
venient bad roads are As soon as the
roads that are bad get good in the
spring. few weeks ago we had occa-
sion to drive four miles into the coun-
try in northern Ohio, where the roads
get frightfully bad on occasion, and
although we had fairly good team
and light buggy, the best time we
could make was to drive the four miles
in an hour and half. When we ar
rived at our destination the team
showed the effects of the hard drive
very plainly, though they had not been
driven of a walk. A week ago, in
southern Ohio, we saw a team trOtting
along hitched to a wagon on which
was 5000 pounds of hay. They have
good roads n southern Ohio, or rather
southwestern, Ohio, and they derive
the benefit from them. They cost
tidy sum to make, but now that they
are made the people benefited would
not return to the barbarous mud roads
of former years for any consideration.
The costliest item of expense to the
farmers of this country is the loss they
sustain from impossible roads. There
has been much agitation on the subject
and it is having its effect, but until
something is done to improve the con-
ditiOn of the roads of this country it's
prosperity will suffer to an enormous
extent Land in county where the
roads are good is worth twice as much
as in a mud road county, and the farm
ers of the country could not pay taxes
for any purpose that would make great
er direct returns. Good roads are
necessary to a perfect civilization, and
that means that we shall have them
some time in the not distant future

Good Roads and ProsperIty.

Before all things the United States
is an agricultural country. 1t is the
possibility of large returns for labor in
this direction which keeps up the price
of labor in our manufactures and in
all our industries and thus brings COM
fort and ease within the reach of all.
Good roads, By lessening the cost of
agricultural products, form the most eff
fectual means of maintaining the con-
dition of comfort and even luxury of
which America is so proud.-H. w.

II is not generally known but 1t Is
fact that grave and solemn ceremonies
marked the laying of the corner stone
of the District of Columbia more than q
century ago. The participants were
men who but vaguely realized the inn
portance and significance of their
labors. They did not philosophize from
cause to effect nor in any sense realize
the fact that every man is the intelli-
gent artihcer of portion of wonder
ful work which is not his own. Even
the surveyors, the stone workers, the
master mechanics, the hod carriers, and
all others who performed their various
functions with intelligence and skill,
had no idea of the architectural result
