Good Roads Benefits.

All classes feel the benefits, which
are mutual between rural and urban
residents. The saving in time and mon
ey to the farmer is not surpassed by the
improvement he secures in social and
educational advantages, due to uniform
ly easy means of intercommunication
for himself and family with neighbors,
school and church. The merchants in
towns and cities which are good road
centers get increased trade, and the peo-
pie have new avenues for recreation
opened to them.
Poor highways are incompatible with
the public welfare.

Excellent Result OF Wise Expenditure
of n Small Amount of Money.
We had only 81, 100, all told, to spend
on our summer home, writes Emily Ford
in Chicago Record, but this did not pre-
vent our putting Ruskin's advice to prac-
tical use by allowing our "roof to be very
much in evidence" causing it to slope
down and form the roof of the veranda. We
also followed the great painters sugges-
ton as to windows by having only point
cd ones, and so successful is the effect of
these windows We advise our friends to
avoid square sasheS.
We have eight rooms, arranged after the
following fashion: The parlor or living
room is of longiSh shape, occupying the
entire front of the house, excepting the
hall The bay window is in the center and
is ample enough to make a delightful
nook, with its well padded seats and num-
berless pillows. Opposite this window is
our pride, q large fireplace, the depth Of
which gives two delightful alcoves, out Of
each of which latter open doors into dining
room and study, the latter necessary be-
cause the master is u parson. A fireplace
in every room is our hearts desire, but as
it cannot be afforded vet we will save up
for picturesque chimney or two built
outside.
The kitchen leads out of the dining room
and is LEAN to-" with u delightful pan
try, containing "a large window and the
old time arrangement, sliding door for
handing the cooked dishes through from
the kitchen. Up stairs four bedrooms
open into the hall, and above is q garrett,
unfinished, but in which are immense pos
sibilitics
house are ample closet room, particularly
a large one unGer the stairs in the hall,
and IL window at the top of the stairs.
The latter, aside from the lovely view
thercfrom, is Indispensable for ventilation
up stairs. We have also two opposite
windows in the attic which are wonderful
coolers in summer.

KITCHENER AN FRESHMAN.

in his stocking feet, and dark-skinned
which latter is but natural after 20
years OF service in Africa. Finding
his commission in the royal engineers
too peaceful he fought as a volunteer
| in the two great European wars of
recent times--against the Prussians
with Gen. Chanzy's army of the Loir,
and against the cars soldiers, in the
Balkans, under Baker Pasha. But
most Of his service has been in the
east, where he first went in charge of
a party of surveyors in Palestine,
Here he began to acquire his re-
marlable knowledge of oriental lang
uage5 and tribes, of which many
stories are told. For example. at
one Of his army's camps on the Nile,
suspected spies, and confined in the
guard tent. Shortly afterward a third
Arab prisoner was hastily bundled
into the tent. An animated jabber-
ing eusued between the three, and in
a few minutes, much TO the astonish-
ment Of the sentry, the latest arrival
drew aside the doorway and stepped
out remarking; AN right, sentry;
I'm going to the general. II was

outside the lines, dug their graves,
and were shot They were dangerous
spies and Kitchener had detected
them.
