AN INFALLIBLE TEST.
What the Bicycle Has Done to I'm.
press the Necessity of Good Roads
on the Public Mind.

The readiness of wheelmen to find
fault with the condition of most high
ways has, at times, aroused much I'M
favorable comment, particularly in
the earlier days of good roads agita-
ton, when the subject was far less
perfectly understood than at present.
The publicspirited crusade which they
inaugurated was ascribed wholly to
Interior motives, and it was not until
they began to demonstrate its univer-
y-benefcent effects that the posi-
ton of the cyclist began to be at ell
appreciated.
For generations, those who used the
highways had been satisfied to plod
along as best they might, behind steeds
that could voice no ineligible COM
plant, travelling as little as possible in
the bad seasons and never considering
the many ways in which they would be
advantaged if firm roadways in every
direction cmancipated them from the
reign of King Mud.
But the bicycle opened fresh vistas
and started new lines of thought. The
patient beast no longer trudged along
through mud-over rocks, ruts and
stumps. uphill and down-while the
driver indolently bounced along in the
vehicle behind him. On-the wheel. the
rider, driver and motor are one, and i'm
mediately awakens to a keen and re-
alizing sense of the road beneath him.
Every change in grade is registered by
human nerves; every depression, rock,
or stretch of sand causes shock to a
human backbone, and calls for greater
energy. With bad conditions severe
strain is put upon the attention. pleas
ure is destroyed and wearisome labor
takes its place.
The bicycle showed conclusively that
roads were wrong, and it largely indi-
Gated the extent of their imperfection.
It thereby set in motion the forces
that have in ten years accomplished
much and are working toward the ac-
complishment of much more under the
power of the inevitable logic of events.
Good Roads.

At EVENING TIME.

At evening time 1t shall be light:
. Dark. darker grows the day.
The shades foretell the coming night,
The CHEEKY sunbeams, golden bright,
Have slowly died away.
At evening time thy soul shall see
The Lord thy God is love:
When lingering hopes mid shadows flee
He shall eternal sunshine be-
Around. beneath, above.
At evening time, from fear set free
Thy song of praise shall ring;
The pity of the Lord shall be
A lamp of gold that burns for thees
Thy footsteps home to bring.
At evening time the bells of peace
Adown thy road shall peal;
The Lord will bid thy sorrow cease,
And grant thee from thy load release,
Thy heartache He will heal
At evening time it shall be light,
In Gods assurance rest!
Thou shalt not grope in lonely night:
His mercy is thy beacon bright;
Steal sunWard to His breast.

Keeping Milk Too Cold.

A representative of Maine cream
cry has been testing the skim milk OF
its patrons, and taking the tempera-
ture of the tank in which the deep cans
were placed for cooling and raising
the cream. Very much to his surprise.
says the Maine Farmer, he found that
many of them kept their milk too cold
He found the skim milk most free from
butter fat when the temperature was
nearest to As degrees. At Sc degrees
there was from one to two-tenths OF
one per cent. more of butter fat in
the skim milk than when it was kept
at As degrees or near that point.

HOMEMADE ROLLER.
Easy of Construction, Serviceable
and Not at All Expensive in q
Comparative Sense.

The writer has known many farm
ers doing without such agricultural
machinery as a roller simply because
they considered the expense toogreat.
AS a good roller, however, is an in
dispensable adjunct to successful hus-
bandry, no tiller of the soil can af-
ford this, nor is there any excuse for
it. in that the homemade roller pre-
sented in the accompanying illustra-
ton is easy of construction, very serv-
iceable, and not expensive at all in
the comparative sense.
AS can be seen in the picture, the
rollers consist of logs, and the jour
mails upon which they turn are pieces
of gaspipe into which pins from
the logs are thrust, this manner of
construction placing all the bearings
on a straight line, and SO rendering

Economical Road Building,

In Amador county, CAL, they are

members of the bureau OF highways

Electric Bitters

Electric Bitters is a medicine suited for any season, but perhaps more gen erally needed in the spring, when the languid exhausted feeling prevails, when the liver is torpid and sluggish and the need of tonic and alterative is felt A prompt use of this medicine has often averted long and perhaps fatal bilious levers. No medicine will act more surely in counteracting and freeing the system from the malarial poison. Headache, Indigestion, Con- stipation, Dizziness yield to Electric Bitters. Only soc per bottle at J. E. Harbert's drugstore.

The lodge here boarded the train and accompanied the remains to Clifoot, where Winners parents live, and where the funeral was held and the body laid to rest with the honors of Odd Fellowship, but it was not the bo ly of I'll omas Minner. n
 A number of parties here received letters from MT. Minner today saying that he was not.dead and that his coat was. stolen few weeks ago and he supposed the man who was buried last Sunday by his heart broken par ents Is the thief.
 Those who attended the funeral and saw the remains said the "corpse look ed so natural.

HRWa1is Population Made Up Largely
 of Jeps and Chinese.
 A census of the Hawaiian islands has been taken recently and the result just ben received by the department at Washington. The figures, says the Man. chester (N. H. Union, are most interest ing in view of the renewed movement for their direct annexation to this gov ernment, which the present administra- ton is said to be very desirous of bringing about The total Americans constitute less than three per cent. of the whole and but little over two per cent. of the male population. They are, however, in full possession of the government, having thus been since Queen Liliuokalani was deposed. Con- sidering these facts, it is not strange that they should be fearful lest such power should be wrested from them or at least be considerably more liln- tied than at present. Except for the peculiar conditions that were undoubt- adly made the most of at the time this absolute power could not have beer seized by such a small minority. as ii was. end it is remarkable that it Ia, ',een so long rnain9airc9

Turtle as 9 Fox Trap.

c. R. Perry, of Herrick, Pa., has been fattening 2o-pound snapping turtle all winter One Sunday his turtleship was taken out of the barrel and allowed to wander about the yard. Larly one morning recently Perry was aroused by the noise of scuffle in the yard. Re- pairing there. he found the turtle hang ing to the nose of a big fox, which had been stealing from the henneries in the vicinity for a month. Br'er Fox was near the fence endeavoring to get over, but his efforts were blocked by the turtle. Eventually the fox reached the next yard. but Farmer Perry followed and shot him dead. The turtle all the time retained his hold ard refused to let go until the fox's nose was cut off. Then it crawled back to it's home, cars tying the nose with it as a trophy.
