The Gosnpl Of Good Roads.

No one who has given the question
careful study can doubt the close Atm
ity between good roads and good
morals.
Mud and meanness go hand in hand.
A good, clear, hard road and clear
conscious are also closely related.
A correspondent of "The Girard
(Ohio) Crit" says: "On account of
bad weather and roads, our Sunday
school decided to close during this
quarter. Will organize again April 8. y
When the Sunday schools of the
land are compelled to close up on ac-
count of bad roads, it is not be Won
dered at that the preachers have begun
spreading the gospel of good roads. =

II is generally supposed that rat
skins are used in glove making, but
the skin is too thin and fragile; the
thing has been done once or twice, a.
IN making silk from spiders webs, but
more as a curiosity than an article Of
trade In an old newspaper we read
that "an Ingenious individual Of Lis
keard, Cornwall, has for some time
past has been exhibiting himself in
dress composed from top TO toe Of rat
skins which he has been collecting for
three years. II consists Of hat, neck
erehief, coat, waistcoat, trousers, tip
pet, CATERS aud shoes The number
Of rats required to complete the suit
was $40, and the individual when thus
dressed appears exactly like one Of the
Esquimaux described in the travels Of
Peary and Ross. The tippet, or boa,
is composed Of the pieces Of skin inn
mediately round the tails Of the rats,
and is a very curious part OF the dress
containing about 900 tails, and those
none of the shortest.
Several thousand rat skins we're at
one time imported from France, but
our manufacturers found them too
small and too fine in texture. It is
not to be supposed, however, that rats
are useless Though they look so
clean and sleek, they destroy for us
an immense quantity of offal which
would otherwise be very dangerous to
health. Yet there are few animals so
generally unpopular as the rat. The
dislike is not reciprocated, for where
ever man settles there appears, as if
by magic, a rat. There we're thou
sands in the camp before Sebastopol,
and a rat hunt in the trenches was one
of the few diversions the campaign
afforded. San Francisco Chronicle.

"When Quality Meets, Compliments
Pass"

Judge Jones was a Southern gentle
man of the old school, and had been
gallant in his day. Old age did not
find him forgetful of his gallantry, but
with increasing years memory played
strange tricks with his recognition of
names and faces. On this point the
Judge was sensitive. One day he met
at a reception a young woman who at
once came up to him with outstretched
hand and smiling face. To save his
soul, the old man could not recall
her.
"Why, Judge JONES'" exclaimed
the lady, ''you have forgotten me, and
1 met you only two years ago!"
"On the contrary, madam" bowed
the courtly Judge, vainly racking his
memory the while-"on the contrary,
I have been striving for two years to
forget you. Harper's Magazine.

A Colonial Three.Dollnr Bill.

A valuable relic in the shape of an
old three-dollar colonial bill has
lately become the property of F. M.
Kline of Knoxville, la. Mr. Kline is a
great curio fancier, and in the course
of his life has gathered tons of relics
from every quarter of the globe, his
collection now comprising several hum
dred thousand curiosities and oddities
of all kinds The bill referred to as
being a recent colonial oddity is one
that was issued by the State Colony
of New York in 1776, the seal bearing
date of Aug. 10 OF that year. Besides
bearing the words and notices,
"Arma, ""Lex Regit," "Penentup,"
etc, the face is engraved with the Ten
Commandments and many other things
which appear to be strangely out of
place on peice of paper currency.
The paper upon which this old bill is
printed is about the thickness of piece
Of blotting paper and of dull smoky
color The printing appears to have
been done with very poor quality of
printers ink, and is all of one color
black. = New York Advertiser.

Founding the Congo State.

During my descent of the Congo,
says Explorer Stanley in the Century,x
I had revolved over and over in my
mind the question of the destiny of
the river. Seated at the prov Of my
boat, which led our fotilla, and daily
watching the river developing itself, I
was preoccupied with these thoughts
every leisure moment There was, it
seemed to me, no other power bug
England that coule interest itself wit
this part of Africa; and, as 1 said,
there was not single white man in
possession of any portion of the equa-
torial belt, except at the mouth
Of the Congo, where few traders
had gathered. But despite numerous
addresses in England upon this sub
iect, 1 failed to awaken more than
geographical interest in Equatorial
Africa. The terror of the African
climate in general was too strong
upon everybody.
Elsewhere, however, the reports of
my addresses in the English newspa-
pers were taking effect. After nearly
nine months busy life in England, the
king of the Belgians invited me to
visit him and was then informed of
his strong inclination to undertake for
Africa what 1 had been so strongly adj
vising Englishmen to do. He was al
ready president of the African Inter-
national Association, which was about
to set on foot a humanitarian enter
prise from the east coast, and he led
me to understand that if I were free
from other engagements he would like
TO employ me in opening the Congo
basin to European influence and civ
ilization.
1t was my opinion that the best
way of setting about the work was to
construct light surface railway
which should skirt the cataracts of
the Lower Congo, and then to launch
steamers on the upper waters, which
estimated would furnish about 5000
miles of navigation. We argued about
this matter from August to December,
1878. The best Belgian engineers
were consulted, but after the most
elaborate calculations as to cost, it
was finally decided that, as the ex-
pense would be great, we should con-
tent ourselves with making wagon
roads past the cataracts, and build q
series Of military stations for the pro-
lection of caravans, and that the an
nual expenditure should not exceed
$50, OO0 \

Fortunes in the Cripple Creek Mines.

On the Western slope OF Pixies
Peak, about twenty miles away in "a
direct line, lies Cripple Greek, now
the leading gold-mining camp of Colo
RADIO. It is not to be mentioned as a
health resort, as it is Q, 800 feet high,
and much exposed; nor should the in
valid even visit it without his physi-
clans consent But it is an interest
ing place for a robust man. It's mines,
which for so long we're looked upon
as not likely to amount to much,
really do amount to a good deal, as
any one who cares for statistics may
learn by consulting a mining broker.
Lying as it does, within the limits
of FL Paso County, it has thrown
much business into Colorado Springs,
the county seat. Some people near
and far have made money out of these
mines. One, a carpenter, who used
to work in the Springs for SO a day,
now owns the whole Independence
Mine, and draws from $40, 600 to 500,
900 from it each month. During the
first four months of 1895 his income
from various mining properties was
100000 As an Offset to this mans
luck it should be said that many per-
sons, visitors in Colorado, as we'll as
permanent residents, have invested
much money in mines which they
could not well afford to lose.-Scrib-
ner.

Facts Learned br balloon Aseents.

The scientific results of forty-seven
balloon ascents made in Germany be-
tween June, 1888, and February, 1895,
are now being studied. In some of
these voyages the greatest heights yet
reached we're recorded. Among the
facts discovered are: That the air.
temperature above 1000 metres about
IL miles) is considered lower than
had been assumed that contrary to
previous belief, the decrease is fairly
uniform with increasing height, and
the isothern of freezing point is found
between 5000 and 300 metres; that
the variation of temperature with
the seasons is very small above 5000
metres; that the inversion of temporal
ture during winter and at night, up to
a height of 1000 metres, appears to
be regular phenomenon; and that
the aqueous vapor is Unexpectedly
small in regions even moderately
high. Trenton IN. j. American.

Russian Peasant Women.

Tho peasant women are particularly
Interesting. They are u race Of small,
bright looking women. presenting u
striking contrast to the men. who arc
Oh the whole u tall, sombrc looking

dress. which Is worn uniformly. 1t
consists OF, first, the sOr0tclka. or en-.

embroidered with fancy patterns In rcd.
and blue. and u woman counts Il a dis
grace to wear other work than her own.
Then the skirt or pcttlcOat (spOdynitza)

outside, they wear coat over the
whole. The manner of aIorn!ng the
hair Is peculiar. and. unl,ic TIE raghiOF

The unmarried women do M ihc..

on do their hair in one plat, which falls
down the back beneath the sorotchka,
ana on their heads they wear n shawl
of black and mauve, which Is manipu-
lated into II YER effective head dress
There Is surely n correspondence here
to the Golf and snood of older Scotland.
In Russia the married peasant women
do not remove the shnw wi from the head,
whether out or doors or inside. Jack
boots complete the outfit of these hardy
women. They are evidently very fond
