A gentleman was greatly surprised

ply lady gave to the question: ..Do
you plant Vick's seeds?" Her an
swer was: 81 always plant Vick's
seeds in the front yard, but we get
cheap seeds in the back yard, which
I know is mistake"
1t pays to plant good seeds. and
We advise our friends who are think
ing of doing anything in this line to
send 10 cents for Vick's Floral Guide
for 1896. This amount may be de-
Quoted from the first order. James
Vick's Sons, Rochester, N. Y. are the

VICTORIA BATHING.

Machines to Bathe In and Sailors to Man
tho Life Boat.
During the recent sOjourn OF tho
court at Osborne sea bathing was reg
ular item in the daily programme. On
the private beach, near the queens
ietty, there is u barge with hollow
center, which can be quickly run along
a rail- into the sea. The bottom OF this
barge is SO arranged that the water
comes in ut once, and the center be-
comes q tank; which makes tirst-rate
bathing place for children.
This, says London Sketch, was daily
used by the families of the duke and
duchess of Connaught and Prince and
Princess Henry Of Battenberg.
Oh this beach there is also u floating
bath, which consists of a we'll, 30 feet
by ten feet, with u wooden grating vt
the bottom, which can be adjusted SO
as to afford the requisite depth OF wa
ter. There is dressing-rooln and tho
whole structure is inclosed by screen.
A small lifeboat, manned by two
sailors from the royal yacht, is always
in attendance in Osborne bay during
bathing hours. The queen has bath
OF warm sea water at Osborne every
morning.

Freaks of an Old Teacher.

DR.. Richard Busby, the second cen
tenary of whose death was celebrated
recently at Westminster school. where
he was head-master for 81 years, was a
disciplinarian of the old school. When
Charles II. visited the school DR..
Busby asked the king to take off his
hat while he kept on his own ON the
ground that discipline could not be
maintained if the boys should believe
that there was a greater man in Eng.
land than their head-master. AFrench-
man, once wandering into the school
playground. was get upon by the boys.
DIR. Busby saw the row, and ordereJ
those engaged to be fogged; the
Frenchman was taken with the boys
and logged, too. He then went in his
wrath to the doctor to demand an ex-
,,lanation,fs but as he could not speak
English well, after few words the doc
tor got angry and ordered hmm to be
horsed, which was done. The French
man, mad with rage, went to his inn,
wrote q challenge, and sent it to Busby
|hy the porter. The doctor read the
challenge and Ut once had the porter
hofsed. That was too much for the
Frenchman. He packed his valise and
fled in terror to France. - Chicago
Chronicle.

COST OF BAD ROADS.

Estimates Show That 5000, OOO,O 900 . Year
Might Be Saved.
The office OF road inquiry of the de-
partment of agriculture has completed
IN interesting investigation relating
to the common roads of to United
States. Returns have been received
from 1900 counties, showing the aver
age length of haul from farm to mar
lets or shipping points to be ~ miles.
the average weight of load for two
horses 1000 pounds, the average cost
per ton per mile rs cents, and So for the
entire haul. Estimating the farm prod
ucts 1T 19,S24,227 tons in weight and
making estimates on other articles car
ried over the public roads, it is calcu-
lated that the aggregate expense Of
this transportation in the United
States is $946,414,665 per annum.
Reports have been asked from the
United States consuls abroad of the ex-
pense of hauling where the roads are
good, SO as to render possible calcu-
lation which will show how much of
this vast outlay is due to bad roads.
The estimate is ventured, however,
that, counting the loss of time in reach
ing markets, the enforced idleness and
wear and tear to the live stock and
hauling machinery caused by poor
roads, two-thirds of the cost might
be saved by an improvement of the
rOa6s

Victor Carrere was recently rescued
by company of French soldiers from q
band of Chinese pirates who had kept
him captive for II months, says the
New York World. Soon after he was
taken captive by tho Chinese he was
placed in q cave in the mountainside,
and there lay for two months, SO loaded
with chains that even crawling about
was. difficult and escape was impossible.
To add to the horrors of, his imprison-
ment the cave was totally dark.
The pirates were unable to secure tho
ransom which they demanded, and so
they took him with them, always a. q
captive, on some of their fora vs. by land
and sea in southern China. His chains
were taken of, but he was always care
fully guarded. His captors treated
him kindly, but he had to undergo
many great hardships. His only gar
ment was a pair of thin silk trousers
and his head and feet wero bare. One
forced march which he made lasted 2:
days, he and the rest of the band trav-
cling night and day, with only the
briefest intervals for sleep. The wealth
er was cold, but their journey was made
without tents or blankets.
The robbers were proceeding toward
q small town. which they intended to
pillage, when they were fred upon from
ambush and those who were uninjured
ran away. The attacking party proved
to be u small body of French soldiers
who had long been searching for their
lost comDatriot

a road in repair is not nearly so great as
the expense of rebuilding road that
neglect has allowed to sink into state
of decay.
The poplars along these French roads
are trimmed to a certain height so that
sun and air can dry the surface, which
is high in the center, thus allowing wa
ter to flow off at once, after shower.
This is then conducted by channels cut
through the turf at each side, into the
deep bitches outside of the row Of
trees at the side of the roadway.
All in all the French roadways have
much to recommend them to the care

Connecticut's Road Law.

Under the road law passed by the
late Connecticut legislature so towns
have applied to the state highway COM
mission for the authorized aid. The
state pays one-third of the cost, the
county one-third and tho town one
third. The appropriation is not equal
to the demands made on it. The Con-
necticut law differs from the New Jer-
sey in levying no special assessment on
the AUDITING property holders, SO that
poorer localities which need the bene-
fit most will not be deferred from ap-
plying for aid. By this legislation
Connecticut is brought into line with
New Jersey in the good-road move
sment, and in advance of NewHork and
Massachusetts, while Pennsylvania,
says the Philadelphia Press, has no
rating as a good-road state, having not
yet made even beginning.

WIDE TIRES AGAIN.

For Many Farm Purposes They Arc Of
Positive Advantage. @s&
A few days ago was talking with
man who had given wide tires a thor
ough trial, Ind he was loud in their
praise, though he did not claim as
much for theln as some people do. He
said that he found them of no advan
tage in time OF. very soft roads, as the
wheels would sink into the road at such
times If they were i foot wide, and the
larger amount Of mud they would
carry would make up for any difference
in the depth they would cut. :
When the weather Is very dry and
the ground hard, they are Of no par
ticulur benefit, either; but at all other
times they save horse-desh and time,
by allowing heavier loads and requir-
ing less power. H. .,
This man told mo that J for nine
months IN the year he finds the wide
tire a positive benefit, and for the other
three it is about an even thing. For
hauling over meadows and corn fields
the wide tire is very much superior
to narrow ones; and at times when
the roods are soft; enough for the or:
binary tire to sink from six to eight
inches into the road-bed, he can go
along easily with his wide tires.
I asked him if he thought the roads
would ever get as bad as they do if
everyone used wide tires. His reply
was that the roads in the country dis
tricts of Illinois would be bad if no
one drove over them in soft weather,
but narrow tires, no doubt, made them
worse. ~
'"Chey suit me-" he said in conclu-
sion, land good many of my neigh
bors are getting over to my way Of
thinking; for I can haul as big loads
as any of them when the roads are at
their worst, and much larger ones at
almost any other time."-Farm and
