AN ANCIENT ROADWAY.
Strange Discovery of Prehistoric High
way in California.


A huutsman, who has been cunning
in the territory lying south of Sweet
water Dam and along the north slopes
of San Miguel mountain, comes back
with u story of more than usual inter
est. While there he came across He
man C. Cooke, of this city, who has a
geological. if not real, mining incli-
nation, and another man. They are at
work on what has already proved TO be
something of a surprise, and which
may eventually prove TO be very
large sized sensation.
1t appears that in some way Cooke
learned that an ancient road had been
discovered leading from the river level
on the north side to a point near the
summit of San Miguel. He decided to
investigate. but chiefly for entertain
ment at first He took a pick and
shovel, established a camp and pre-
pared to make thorough job of 1t. AS
he progressed his interest increased,
for he soon discovered that below the
shifting surface of the mountain side
and under the debris of vegetation
solid roadbed, well defined and
thoroughly built, ext sted. In places
were large trees, indicating its great
age. This road was followed well up
into the mountains, and on. the way
several branch roads leading off to
different spurs were easily traced. All
along these roads in places Cooke found
pieces of broken rock, which have
given what he believes is the clew &c
the construction of the road. He haC
some specimens crushed which assayec
well in gold and silver.
This was also supported by the fac'
that several implements of manifestly
! ancient make have been found, which
are believed to be mining tools. Cooke
| thinks he has traced the road 10 the
end, and at that point has found
mound which he believes is the dump
! from a shaft or tunnel, and has present
work is TO find the opening which viii
/ lead to the mine He believes. its dis
covery is not far distant, as he ha!
narrowed it down to possible space
of about two hundred feet square.
The conclusion is that this is al
ancient and rich mine, or the roaC
would not have been made. The dis
coveries are said to be more interest
ing to Cooke because more than ono
he has dreamed OF discovering n noun
tain of gold and silver, with. tools al
at hand for taking out the metal. =

The superiorit, of Woman.

A Russian philosopher, Prof. Sark-
kchevisch, has just demonstrated IN the
Voprosy Filosofye the definite superb
oritv of man over animals, and of wom-
an over man. He has discovered that
intellectual force is in direct ratio to
the weight not only of the brain but
also of the spinal marrow. Upon this
principle he has prepared the following
table, in which he finds the compare
tive intellectual value of different
species of animals TO be as follows: The
crocodile, 1.-the rooster, LIS; the pigeon,
s.5; the sheep and the horse, 2.5; the
cat, 3; the dog, Is; the elephant, IL; the
chimpanzee, II; man, 40; woman, 80.
Evidently this Russian professor Is a
chiyalrous man.

Wide Tire Test in Ohio

At the Ohio state university, says
the Carriage Journal, a test was made
during the fall of last year, the result
of which was as follows: An ordinary
wagon, with a new 3-inch tire, was
loaded with 4, $50 pounds, dynamometer
being used to measure the draft On a
hard dirt road the draft was 25i pounds;
on a grass field IL was 46S pounds; on
newly plowed land it was III pounds
The draft power of horse of 1000
pounds is $50 pounds, and, therefore,
two horses could draw the load easily
on a good dirt road, or one and half
tons on a grass sod. With narrow
tire. half as much is a full load for a
two-horse team, showing marked ad-
vantage for the wide tires, in addition
TO which they become rollers, and
smooth and level the road, and SO make
it better the more it is used, instead of
cutting it into ruts, as is well known
the narrow tires do on soft roads

Suggestions Which Practical Women Can
Put TO Actual Use.
Handsome carved frames are very ex-
pensive. and paste frames, though less
so. are often undesirable, as the design
is frequently mutilated. However,
with moderate skill. very pretty frames
can be made of plain wood. For

material be or inches wide and'15
finch thick, of some ricely-grained
wood Oak is very pretty and in good
taste, and if procured ready dressed, as
it should be, cannot be excelled. The
pieces should be cut so that the inner
or shorter edge is just 1 inch shorter
than the picture to be framed.
The corners are the most difficult
part. but unless you are a professional
Joiner do not try to make an invisible
joint. as it will always result in failure.
Cut them carefully at an angle of 45 de-
grees, making them fit snugly. Picture

The Temperature. TOR ChnrnIng.

\ Thermometer is absolutely neces-
sarv, as the temperature of the cream,
as well as the water used, should be
known. When after churning half an
hour in a small churn the cream is
quite frothy, and though broken shows
no tendency To gather farther, start
warming it up py adding water, a few
quarts at a time, ten to twelve degrees
Fahrenheit warmer than the cream. l
would raise it thus eight to ten de-
rrees Fahrenheit. and if it does not
gather. even higher. 1t is wise to pro
coed with caution, warming gradually
and churning meanwhile have run
the cream to seventy-tive degrees
Fahrenheit and over before l could get

enough to float let it stand for time.
Then draw the milk till the butter

BUSH APPLE TREES.
A Hint from England Which May Benefit
American Fruit Growers.

American Fruit Growers.
In a paper read before the fruit
growers OF Worcester county, Eng
land, the writer spoke of the once ia
nous apple orchards of that locality.
and of their decline, owing to various
causes, so that to-day American apples
are sold at their very doors. To re-
cover this lost ground Is possible, II
methods of cultivation are improved
One Improvement is to grow the trees
in bush form, not by using dwarf
stocks. but forming large open bush
shape on tree stocks which have been
carefully prepared, and later possess
an abundance of healthy tibrOus roots
that work and feed near the surface,
while the tree branches are each per-
feet Gordon of fruiting wood from the
stem of the tree to the extremity OF
each branch-quite different from the
pigmy bushes grated on Paradise and
like stocks. Trees of this character
NAV be planted to feet apart or
more. and alternate trees removed,
later on, to a fresh plantation. for
trees with good tibrous roots are al
ways fruitful. and can be removed
with safety. The land for at least the
diameter of the branches should be
held sacred to the roots, as unless
these are properly cared for the trees
cannot rlpen their wood and develop
| the embryo fruit buds With such
trees. the work of pruning, spraying,
thinning and gathering is much easier,
and manures are more efficiently APP
piled. OF course the land should be
we'll selected, in good heart and deeply
cultivated before planting, so that
moisture, air and heat can readily pen

Why We Are Behind Rarope.

The countries of Europe were fortu-
nate in having system of roads estab-

roads are essential to the prosperity of
rural districts, as they promote local

JUST A SUGGESTION.
How to Make a Dreary Room Very Bright
and Cheerful.

and Cheerful.
You can make dreary, sunless room
very bright and cheerful by the proper
use of color. Use soft buttercup
yellow paper. one of those cOlOrs which
seem 20 reflect sunlight from them
selves. A big fireplace tiled with two
shades of yellow tile would be hand
some addition to the room. The pretty
Minton tiles which come from Eng
land and used to cost so much may
now be purchased at sixty cents per
square foot in colOred designs This
factory used to make fascinating yell
low and black tiles repeating the
stories of The Idylls. of the King"
and other English classics. Such tiles
would make a charming framework
around the fireplace. and the hearth
might be covered by tiles III the same
colors. but in conventional design.
One wouidshardly care TO tread under
foot the lovely Enid. the bold Sir Ian
celot. or even the mischievOus Vivian.
The paint of this room ought to be a.
cream white, and the ceiling papers
cream white. with lines of yellow. The
furniture ought to be of a cheerful
light character. with an. abundance of
dainty, bright-colored cushions. The
sash curtains at the windows should be
striped with Yellow. Such. room as
this will light up beautifully in the
evenings, and one will scarcely miss
the sunshine in the daytime. The
success OF the room depends on the
choice of yellow hues. There is a GER
tain shade of yellow almost the exact
color of the daisy or the petal of the
buttercup, which always looks well in
furnishing and harmOnizes perfectly
with pure white. while haEl orange
shades are always painful to. the eye
