EASY TO GET GOOD ROADS.
Keep the Roadbed Dry and Use Wide
Tired Wagon Wheels.

A good roads convention was held at
Cannon Falls recently which was nota-
BILE for the practical manner in which
the subject under consideration was
handled, says the Minneapolis Tribune.
No city speakers were imported to en-
tighten the farmers upon the theory of
road building and to suggest legislation
looking to future large expenditures for
costly roadways, but the neighbors as
sembled proceeded to show how the
roads could be greatly improved with
the means already available. The main
point brought out was the necessity OF
thorough surface draining by effective
ditching. The roadbed must be rounded
80 that the water will run off readily,
but the best material for surfacing de-
ponds upon the locality and the charac-
ter Of the soil. If the road surface can
be kept dry, any locality may have good
roads at comparatively small cost all
the year round.
Incidentally the subject Of wide yer.
sus narrow tires was taken up, and
David Valentine, a practical road build
er, stated that he had used both wide
and narrow tired wheels, and his ex-
perience was such that if he were to
purchase a new wagon he would not
take a narrow tired vehicle if he could
get it at half price, as he could haul
double the load with the same expen-
diture of power on wide tire. Where
the roads are dry and hard there can be
no doubt of the superior economy OF
wide tire, not only in the matter of
hauling the load, but in preserving the
roadway.

THROWING RICE AND SLIPPERS.

Two Pretty Customs, Robbed of SEN
timent, Have Become an Annoyance.
In Ladies' Home Journal Edward W.
Box notes the abuse OF the pretty custom
OF casting a small parcel OF rice or a
dainty slipper after departing bride and
groom-an unspoken Godspeed. "The
dainty slipper" he says, "has been trans
formed into the old shoe OF doubtful
origin, and thrown with force and
accuracy, causing no end OF discomfort.
''And this is what two pretty customs
have degenerated into. They have been
vulgarized, and, therefore, the sooner
they pass into disuse. the better. The
sentiment OF the customs has been lost
Rice and shoes are no longer omens of
good luck. The modern thrower Of them
has transformed them into missiles with
which to annoy and mortify the bride
and groom. The better class of people
have already begun to su Institute shower
of rose petals, and this new and far more
beautiful idea is rapidly being followed.
We might have preserved the old GUS
toms, but we have not. Henceforth, pro-
miscuous rice-throwing and the casting
of Old shoes at weddings will be left to
the Doors of our modern society, into
whose hands these acts have fallen, and
who seem happiest when they can con
vert the graceful customs of oden times
into practical jokes"

Among the items of interest at this re-
union, was the reading of several origi
nal poems by Livy Penney. Mr. Penney
has quite collection of poems, and they
We're listened to with much interest,
though they would be regarded as a trife
heterodox by the strict orthodox thinker.
Some of them have had wide circula-
ton and been commented on by COM
petent critics as possessing literary and
poetic merits far above mediocrity.
The Penney reunion OF 1898 will be held

To YOUNG MEN IN LOVE oath article):
As pants the hunted hart for the water
brooks. SO do the souls Of some OF you
yearn to hear the uniting ceremony.
Often you feel as though there were moth
ing good in the world, II complete know
ledge Of your beloved is denied you. Be
careful, or grasping, selfish passion will
besmirch your present joyous journey,
and you will be like some gluttonous
youth stuffing himself with UNIV holesome
eatabes, indifferent to the beauty and
history OF the scenery RS he passes 1t.
/ have already told you that love and
the quality on which love is often based
respect-cannot live il only sustained by
passion. The passion indeed may last
long, but it will scorch and burn and de-
stroy all the sweet refinement that, il not
precious in your eye-, Is at least very dear
to her whom you have chosen. Now
intend to carry you forward one startling
step and tell you that love can ennoble
and strengthen one life or both, though
passion be forever denied. What we call
the lower element OF our natures cannot
be grand except by the higher qualities
mingling with it; but the highest quail
titles can live aud last and grow, though
the lower be shut out altogether. l tell
you this and confirm it by pages from
lives that have been laid open before me;
for | want you to have a new sense OF
what love can do and has done for our
race. l tell you this because love, in its
highest form of devotion to an ideal, is
capable OF entering your bursting heart,
no matter how obscure you are, and maxi
ing OF you new creature, with clean
life, pure thought and good purposes.
l see almost daily man, who though
separated by an ocean from the woman
who knows his love and feels love in re-
turn, is held by her gentle influence and
her high views OF life, just rs firmly as
though he were by her side.
