GOOD ROADS MOVEMENT.

Gen. Stone Talks of the Interest Shown
in the Various States.
Official reports to the bureau of roads
inquiry at Washington show that in
creased interest is taken in the good
roads movement, and that large pro-
portion of the railroad companies have
agreed to further the idea by offering
very low rates whenever any general
movement is started. Gen. Roy Stone,
in charge of the bureau, VINO has
been spending some weeks attending
road conventions in the west as the
representative of the agricultural de-
partment, has returned to Washington.
In reviewing the progress OF the move
ment Gen. Stone said:
''In Indiana and Missouri great in
terest is being taken in the movement.
In Nebraska there is not much need
for general road improvements, except
in the river counties. Owing to the
naturally good roads, helped lately by
the very dry weather, Kansas is inter
ested in the question and anxious to
make the improvements, and the legis-
lature will undoubtedly take up the
matter and make decided changes in
legislation. Nearly all of the southern
states are taking some steps in road
building, either by increased use of
convict labor or by county building
michigan will take some impor-
tant steps this winter to make its coun-
try-roads law more successful, A very
energetic movement is in progress in
Wisconsin. In New Jersey state aid
will probably be doubled in amount
this year. The Massachusetts state
commission has asked for 81 100000 to
expend in the construction of state
roads. There is some opposition to
this, but the appropriation will be
granted. General opinion favors con-
Wet and tramp labor for road improve
1neht. The main idea is to use state
prison convicts in preparing road ma
! terials, working in quarries where they
can be guarded, and to use tramps
county prisoners and short-term con
victs in macadamizing the roads"

HORTICULTURAL NOTES.

THE lady bug is the friend of the
fruit grower. They live wholly on in
sects
THE root louise often causes apple
scab, and ashes or lime around the
trunk will fix the root louise.
IT is very seldom that an orchard is
cultivated too much. The fault is usu-
ally in the other direction.
THE hog is an exceedingly valuable
isect destroyer among the plum trees,
and plums are better than apples for
the hog.
SUCCESS on any line, as rule, is the
result of study. There is vast deal Of
ignorance about orcharding among us.
Many of US grow fruit, or try to, as a
game of chance.
THE farmer need not expect a good
small fruit patch if he merely plants
and does not take care of the same. 1t
must be kept clean and sprayed for the
prevention of rot, mildew and kindred
evils.
FRUIT growing is a. fascinating bust
ness and perhaps seldom meets the
high expectations of the enthusiast
But fruit growing under favorable cir
cumstances is a reasonably profitable
business.
GRAPES should have a space of eight
feet wide, and if eight feet apart, IL
rows properly trained and tied up tt
two wires, and kept clean, will sur
prise the average farmer in the amour
of fruit they will produce

NO DCa IN HER HOUSE.

A Boarding House Keeper Tells Why She
Has Made THIS Rule
Persons. with dogs and other pets
meet with cold and clammy reception
in New York boarding-houses. They
may occasionally steal into fashionable
fats, where the landlord or agent have
no direct means of circumventing
them, but when it comes to the board
ing-house things are little more
definite.
A nice-looking married couple went
into Twenty-third street boarding
house the other day and were made
comfortable After. the first dinner,
says the Herald of that city. the lady
was observed scraping together some
dainties from the board to take to her
room. The landlady, who is a woman
of great decision of character, heard
of it, and her knock was shortly after
ward heard at the door of the new
boarders. The latter were Immediately
notified that either they or the dog
must vacate at once.
''If I cannot keep my darling Keno
phon, we'll move" protested the owner
Of the dog, who practiced the princi
pie of Love me, love my dog"
Then you'll have to move" said the
landlady, firmly. I'm not keeping ;

tamper with him. The man used to
lug him around with him everywhere
he went One night, when the man
came in, he was feeling so oblivious to
earthly things that he left his dog
locked in the vestibule. The next
boarder who came in got no farther
than the vestibule, and landed down
the steps with a square yard Of trousers
missing. He was soon joined by an
other boarder, who wanted to come to
bed They rang the bell until several
of US came down to see what was the
matter. On opening the door the dog
sprang for US as if he hadn't been fed
for a week, and wanted anything that
came handy, but we slammed the door
to again just in time. Aswe could not
awaken the owner we had to leave the
dog there till morning, and those who
were outside had to go to hotel. In
the morning everybody had to go and
come by the servants entrance until
the owner of the animal came down
and got US out of the fix
''What did he say?"
Say! Why, he abused us all as a set
of brutes for keeping his dog locked
up there, and gathered it up under his
arm and took it upstairs as if it had
been a piece of Dresden china! And
the boarders who had been locked out
left the house for good the next day.
We got rid of the dog, but not until it
had half depopulated the establish
ment."

What He Was At.

A boy In st. Louis was recently pre-
scented with Il jack-knife, with which,
boy-like. he cut and marked everything
that came in his way. from the dining
room table to the cats tail A few
days after he had become the happy
possessor of the knife, his father was
startled by seeing two men bring home
the young hopeful in very dilapi-
dated condition. His face seemed 10
be cut and bruised and covered with
blood. The father. of course, was very
much alarmed. and inquired of the boy
who had hit him. Nothing didn't nit
me-" the boy answered between his
sobs; ''it was only a mule kicked me in
the eye" "A mule kicked you in the
eye, eh?" echoed the father. Haven't
! told you a thousand times or more
that mules and gunpowder were not
fit things for boys to fool with? What
were you doing to the mule?' II
wasn't foolin' with him Mt ALL" said
the boy; II was only trying to cut my
name on his back"

vessels soon otter the surrender Of Da
Cana and his fleet. The photographs
Of the Aquidaban's terrific wounds,
herewith reproduced, have just been
received by the navy department from
Admiral Kirkland. commanding the
South Atlantic station.
The Aquldaban was the finest ship
of the Brazilian navy. She was the
only battle ship i'm the naval review at
New York. But for her the insurgent
cause would have come to an end
months sooner. The Government fleet
sent torpedo at her, which plunged
through her sides. and I'm a few min
utes the great battle ship went to the
bottom.
Torpedoes have been used before in
modern wars, but the sinking of the
Aquidaban was the first instance
where great war ship was sunk by
one of them.
Some valuable lessons have been
taught to American naval officers as to
the effect Of torpedoes, when accu-
ratcly used in modern warfare, by
the destruction of the Brazilian war
ship. The photographs sent to the
navy department were accompanied
by an interesting report made by Adj
miral Kirkland, who was instructed
by the Secretary to visit the ship on
the ways and examine the injuries
caused by the torpedo.
The report shows that the ship was

Anything Rather than Work.

Representative John ii. Eow until
yesterday fancied himself well inform
cd on the tricks Of beggars, but had to
admit that a new one was worked on
him. He was entering Tenth street
restaurant, and, with his usual impet-
uosity, opened the swinging door with 4
violent push A dull thud told him that
the door had struck some one, and he
was Mortified to see poorly dressed
man of advanced years standing in an
attitude Of sudden pain, his face buried

between the sixth and seventh frames,
the injury extending from the bow on
the twelfth frame, and below the pro-
tected deck to the keel. The deck was
shown to have been uninjured. All
the bilge frames and interior work on
the port side were crushed as though
they had ben made of paper, the tor
pedO plunging through the vessel to the
srarboard side and tearing away her
sides and splintering the great steel
plates with APPARENT ease. The water
tight bulkheads were entirely carried
away, the two forward compartments
were flooded, and the vessel filed and
went down like a rock.
On the starboard side two feet above
the keel and near the seventh frame a
hole was made fully two feet in diam

well-behaved play. she came with her
hat in her hand to her mother. and said
soberly:
