fhich were the best that TazeweIl then

the steeds at fest were induced to make
the leap. There WA one. especially recall

A Chillicothe dispatch of Wednesday

this afternoon between Denver and Sum.
NIT stations, on the line of the Ohio
Southern railway, in the southwestern
part of Ross county. During a violent
rain and thunder storm that ragged gen.
orally along the Scioto and Paint valleys,
25O feet of the railway track was washed
away. The deluge was so furious that
deep gullies were washed out in the
fields. Every little stream became a
torrent, and horses, cattle and swine
were washed away and drowned. So
far as known, no lives were lost, but the
extent of the damage back in the hills
has not been reported. The storm did
great damage in other parts of the coun.
ty. At this point the rain was the heav.

Tie the rope to the after thwart and
give series of jerks in direction par.

surely. And this is the explanation
The tug on the rope contracts the length
Of the boat and makes its sides bulge
out When the rope slackens for a mo-

and in SO doing there is a push Of the
nose Of the boat forward and of the stern

offers less resistance to the motion for

on the whole, with each jerk there is
a slight progress forward. By continu.

Hoods Pills cure all liver ills.

In the April number of the Farmers
Home, We find the following sensible
suggestion embodied in the contribution
of Pennsylvania correspondent:
The road question is receiving much
attention in the state this winter. The
idea is that the agitation for better roads
should be 30 directed as to prevent the
adoption of ofschemes that involve heavy
bonding by counties or the expenditure
of vast sums for costly pixies in rural
counties. Prof. Hamilton is telling the
people of an experiment made by HIM
self in his own township. He considers
the Office of road supervisor one of the
most important in the gift of the people,
and accepted it in his township. The
first thing that he did was to get pledges
from the people to pay tax in money
rather than labor. With portion of
the money he employed two good men
to patrol the highways OF the district
once mouth to remove every stone as
large as ones fist, to fill every depres.
sion that would hold water and to watch
the cuilverts Doing all rains these men
are moving over the roads, watching
that no stream OF water is starting q
gully in the center of road on a hill
side. The Professor holds that roads
in such billy counties as his own do not
run away in dry weather, but during
rains, and hence the men, clad in rub.
Der and armed with shovels, are needed
worse when the rains are falling. He
keeps the water from standing anywhere
on the highway, and the result ia good
country road. The surplus money is
used for grading and covering with stone
the worst portions of highways each
year. I am convinced that II the billy
sections of the Ohio valley would adopt
this plan. our roads could be made much
better without an increased expendi.

Good Rum. Bad Palm Wine.

There is no doubt in the African mind
Of the want Of alcohol being real one,
living as they do in saturated forest
swamps reeking with malaria, their
damp mud walled houses frequently
flooded, they themselves spending the
greater part Of their time dabbling about
in the stinking mangrove slime, for five
months in the year wrapped in the al
most continual torrential downpour Of
the west African wet season, which is
followed in the delta by the 30 called
'dry," with its thick morning and
evening mists, and the air never beyond
dew point. Their food is Of poor quality
and insufficient quantity, and notably
deficient in districts near the coast Of
meat Of any kind. think their desire
for spirits quite reasonable, and that al
cohol taken, as it usually is, in modera-
ton, is anything but deleteriouA
When the African cannot get white
mans spirit, min makara" as he calls
it in Calabar, he takes to black man g
spirit, ''min effik." This is q palm
wine. and, although it has escaped the
abuse heaped ON rum, it is worse for the
native than rum, for he drinks dis
gusting quantity Of it. for, from the
palm wine, he does not get the stimulat-
ing effect so quickly as from gin or rum,
yet the intoxicating effect is ultimately
severe, and the enormous quantity con-
sumed at one sitting will distribute its
effects over week. You can always
tell whether a native has had a glass too
much rum or half gallon or 30 toe
much palm wine. The rum he soon re-
covers from. while the palm wine keeps
him disgusting nuisance for days,
and the constitutional effects Of it are
worse than those Of rum, for it produces
definite type Of renal disease, which.
if it does not cut short the life Of the
sufferer in paroxysm, kills him grad
ually with dropsy. National Review.
