ONE AS GOOD AS THE OTHER.
Mother and Daughter Exchange Rabies In
voluntarily at Birth.

SUAmoKIS, Pa, April Mrs. John
Morton of Irish Valley, was being de.
livered of child yesterday when her
daughter, Mrs. Hannah Foster, of
Trevorton, who was at her mother 3
bedside, was ta.iep sick suddenly, and
also gave birth to a child. Both
women occupied the same bed, and
the attending physician mixed the
babies. One of the children is q
boy,s aud the other girl, but no.
body knows which belongs to which
mother. At length Mrs. Morton said
she would take the girl, as she had
several sons already, and would really
prefer another daughter, whereas Mrs.
Foster wanted boy. AS the matter
stands, Mrs. Morton does not know
whether she is nursing her daughter
or her granddaughter, nor does Mrs.
Foster know whether she is rearing
her brother or her son.

himself from the city. and has drawn
salary amounting to 81, 100 for the

set forth, to congress that there is mo-
money in this country, and that the,

all the silver and gold bullion in the
treasury, aud to grant free coinage to

taken niles of greenbachs and burned
them to keep them from circulating

as permanent as where brick is used.
The walls of this greenhouse are very
low, just allowing the caves to clear the
ground satisfactorily, so that snow will
not lie upon the glass. Pipes are indi-
Gated in the solid benches for use in
sub-irrigation, if this plan of watering
is desired. The heating pipes are sus-
pended over the benches, as in the ordi-
nary greenhouse. The same construc-
ton could be used in a three-bench
greenhouse, in which case two walks
would have to be dug, leaving solid
bed between them. In this case, the
two roofs would have to be supported
by a purlin plate, and uprights. One
can work out the details to suit his own
circumstances. Where cedar posts
are used as a foundation, it would be
necessary to heavily mulch the ground
just outside the walls to keep the frost
out of the ground adjacent to the solid
benches, as frost there would render
the maintaining of heat in the benches
much more difficult. A solid founda-
ton is, of course, preferable

DAIRY SUGGESTIONS.

Watering is as important as feeding.
Prepare now to winter the best, and
make meat of the rest.
A cows biography is expressed. not
in good deeds, but in quarts of milk.
Cows which give a large quantity of
yellow milk are not always the best
butter cows.
Smoking an old pipe where there is
milk or butter, is first-rate evidence
that the smoker ought not to be in the
dairy business. #...
Every time you swear at cow she
makes you pay for your i'll manners.
Every time you kick her you kick pen
mics out of your pockctbook.
Fine butter will always sell readily
at profitable price, while poor butter
fails to fad customer and loses in
quality daily, and in the end makes a
loss to everyone who has anything to do
with it.
Nothing will spoil COW, or cows,
quicker than man with bad temper
One that has the smell of birthstone
On hi: breath There is as much room
fer improvement in farmers as in the
COWS they keep.-Colman's Rural
World.

ROADS ARE IMPROVING.
Continued Agitation Is Beginning to Bea
Good Fruit.

Continued Agitation Is Beginning to Bear
Good Fruit.
From scores of localities in every
corner of the land comes the cheering
message: Our roads are better than
they have BEEN" And the same thing
holds true of town and city streets.
1t is very clear to an intelligent OBJ
server in a position to broadly view
the field that more and better road
building is being done this year than
has been in any past year.
The agitation for improved highways
has begun to produce practical results.
The people are getting their feet on
the ground, and are materializing the
worth of their theories regarding good
roads.
1t is pleasant to note that the people
everywhere appreciate the many ad-
vantages to be gained from improved
highways. Every mile of good road
makes it easier to secure more of the
same sort. The example is contagious.
Even in localities where no work Tor
the betterment of roads has begun,
there has been created a dislike for
pearance.
When the people of a community get
sufficiently tired of poor roads they
mend them. A few wheelmen, if they
are live members of the l.. A. w., can
so point out the disadvantages of mud
that many others will unite with them
in working for good roads and clean
streets.
Everybody wants good roads when
their at attention is called to the matter.
With some one to act as a leader they
will follow. Pick out just the right
sort of man, and put him in charge of
your streets and highways, and he will
make it more of a pleasure and of
greater profit TO reside in his neigh
borhood.-L. A. w. Bulletin.

The Unique System Adopted by Railroad
Company to Have Its Dining Car Service
Up to tho Best.
The following Ia IN extract from tho Lo-
connective Engineer of New York city, o pa
per OF recognized authority In technical rail-
road matters:
ain connection with the through train
service between Chicago, Buffalo, New
York and Boston, the Nickel Plate Railroad
run their own eating cars, and they have
adopted q rather unique manner OF keeping
tho men In charge OF the cars up TO the
mark. There Is grievance committee con-
sisting of two superintendent, the superin-
tendent of motive power, the regular trav-
cling representatives, and the general car
inspector, who have authority to take q
meal In the cars at any time and report on
anything they find wrong. These officers
make life burden 10 the superintendent OF
the dining cars. There Is good deal Of
pleasantly about the criticisms, but those
patronizlng tho cars fad that they never
have reason to complain OF the victuals be-
Ing cold or out OF season.
"The dining car service on the trains Of
the Nickel Plato Railroad Is something that
strikes the traveller rs approaching perfec-
ton. With the system IN force referred TO,
there Is not much room for kick from
anybody"
In conjunction with the above article we
feel justified In adding our compliments to

and Boston.
While travelling In one Of the day coaches
on little jaunt from o local station into
Buffalo, was impressed by the cleanliness
of tho cor. The secret was soon divulged.
Along came colored porter In uniform,
dust cloth and brush In hand, and with a
polish here and wipe there, the seats, win
dow stills and floor were kept scrupulously
clean.
The schedules Of their fast trains are con-
venient and the sleeping cars placed in the
regular daily service are OF the most luxuri-
ant type Of modern car construction. Solid
trains are run between Chicago Buffalo and
New York city and through sleepers TO
Boston.
A fact worthy Of note yet remains to be
pointed out TO the readers Of this journal,
which, perhaps, has not come to the notice o I
many. Rates are offered between the same
points lower than those quoted by COMPETE
tors Of the Nickel Plate Road and from my
experience their passenger facilities are ex-
celled by none. A. POINTER

want to make small howl in re-
gard to road-making. do not suppose
it will do any good, but it will relieve
my mind. This, as we all know, is the
season for the farmer to go out with the
new road machine and scrape the sod
along the side of the road into the mid
die of the same and call it road.
1t is very nice for few weeks, and
then comes little rut here and an
other there, SO that by the time the
winter sets in we have a muddy, rutty
road to ride over. And it is not few
1ods, either. for road district can do a
mile or two of it in the time required
40 ''work on the road" Now, why can
not they work, say, 20 or 80 rods with
the road machine, make good, wide
roadbed, and then draw on good gravel,
not sand? Almost every district has
a bank of gravel within it's limits. If
not on the road, go back on the farm.
If the farmer is good, generous,
free-hearted man he will give it to his
own district. If not, cancel his road
work for the gravel. He certainly
should be willing to do that. 1t is a
