4 GOOD ROAD.

E. G. Harrison, an expert in the ser vice of the road inquiry division of the United States Department of Agricul- ture, is showing the Baltimore County. Maryland, authorities how to build a country road. The road is like other roads being built under government su- pervision in New York, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island and some other States, but the manner of it's construction may be of interest and value to road-makers who have not enjoyed the advantage of government teaching. As described by MT. Harri- son, the roadbed is constructed by first shaping up the earth and removing all the large stones. At this point great care is taken to get the earth, or sub foundation, perfectly hard by rolling, and shaping it the same as the top dressing. This completed, foundation of broken stone, four inches thick, the SIOlle DelDS OL the larger SlZe, IS put on top of the earth foundation, and is rolled and packed so as to force the stones together, thus making a solid mass, which is known as the founda- tion proper. Upon this is placed a sur face layer of stone crushed to the size of one and one-half inches. This is rolled thoroughly and packed, and upon this is placed the fine stone which fills up all the spaces and makes a smooth surface The side ditches are clean ed to carry off the water A shoulder of dirt is formed on each side of the road to keep the roadbed in place. MT. Harrison says that road built in this way will last forever-that is, the bed or body of the road will. The surface may in time become worn, but this can be repaired easily. The principal ob- ject of this construction is to pack the stone as to keep the earth foundation

SUIcIpAL sPANTARDs.

IT General Blanco had a hand in driv- Ing Admiral Cervera out of Santiago harbor, as he is said to have had, it is not surprising to read that General Blanco wanted to commit suicide when he heard the result of the desperate performance. A report from Havana says that he did try to kill himself when he got the depressing news.
 The Spaniards seem to be much like the Chinese in their readiness to com- init suicide when defeated. A captain of one of Cervera's ships Killed himself when he saw that there was no hope of escape, and a captured Spanish sol dier took poison. Perhaps we shall read some day that General Weyler has fallen on his own sword although the general impression Tn this country is that he isn't quite sensitive enough to do such a thing. The news that he had done it wouldn't be received here with any great pity. The end of the war will not seem complete unless it in cludes his finish.

VIRTUE REW4RDED.

It pays to be polite. By and by the story of old Admiral Cervera's polite ness and it's reward will get into the school readers for the instruction of the children. They will read that when Lieutenant Hobson and his men were captured by the Spaniards Admiral Cervera was polite enough to send word to Admiral Sampson that the captives were safe. They will also read that not long afterward Admiral Cervera was captured and that his generous treat ment of Lieutenant Hobson and his comrades was remembered. They will read that the fine old Admiral was treated with the utmost courtesy; that he was given clothes to wear and all he could eat and drink; that though a prisoner he was not allowed to feel any galling bonds; that he was given quiet retreat at Annapolis, and that all that could be done for his comfort was done. The rest of the story isn't yet in shape to be set down, but there is no doubt that it will be entirely consistent with what has been told.
 There are those mean enough to think and say that Cervera had his own chances in mind when he sent word to Admiral Sampson about Lieutenant Hobson and his comrades But all peo- pie of generous minds will prefer to be- lieve that the gallant old sailor simply obeyed noble impulse, and they will be glad that our sailors and our gov- ernment have an opportunity to show their appreciation of his chivalry.

DTSOUTETTNG.

The talk about yellow fever among the United States forces around San tiago is disquieting, though it is be- lieved in Washington that the doctors can deal successfully with it. If they don't happen to be able to there will soon be sad news. It is said that the fact that yellow fever existed In San tiago, though never officially admitted has been known in Washington for some time through private letters from officers at the front to their friends, and the exodus from the city to the vicinity of Shafter's camp of eighteen thou sand inhabitants, presumably for the most part in a destitute and filthy con- dition, would afford ample opportunity for the communication of the disease to the American troops were not the strictest measures adopted to prevent intercourse.
 Perhaps an outbreak of yellow fever would lead to speedier action against Santiago. One story is that General Miles has been instructed to push mat ters, take the city at any cost, put the troops back on the hills, and garrison the city with immunes. This looks like a good programme, if it can be carried out.

Golf sunbonnets of brilliant co1ored lawn are much befrilled and are finish ed with ruffied apron that hangs at the back They say that a girl in the depths of such headgear, whether at golf or only gardening, is a most be- witching thing, and that when she lets it slip and hang by it's ruffled strings the temptation to readjust it and kiss her as soon as it's curve again offers privacy is simply irresistible But maybe when he comes back from the war he will be so innured to privations and self-control that-don't you believe it! invest in a sunbonnet, and spend your time inventing tricks with it. No amount of experience with Spaniards will make him proof.

FASHION NOTES.
Black Used AdroitIy.

The summer hat that is black is far from sombre. That the artist puts here was of fancy black straw with high crown rising in the center. For trim ming, a twisted turquoise blue and black faille ribbon was placed around the brim, and at one side rose a large bunch of forget-me-nots. a smaller cluster appearing at the opposite side. Between the two punches of blossoms there was enough color to brighten the rest effectively, yet the black would heighten the color of the face below.

At last the English house of lords has taken one step in the direction of abol- ishing the absurd and mischievous law forbidding the marriage of a man with his deceased wife's sister. The other day the lords, by vote of 129 to 46, passed the second reading of bill making marriage with deceased wife's sister, lawfully contracted in England s colonies, valid in the United Kingdom. The next step, after this bill becomes a law, will be to give the sanction of the law to such marriage alliances at home. The Prince of Wales and many other noted princes and peers voted in favor of the bill, while the archbishops and bishops, as usual opposed it. The com- mons have repeatedly passed bill le- galizing marriage with the sister of a deceased wife, but ecclesiastical influ- ences have always beaten it in the house of lords. Evidently the time will soon come when this foolish and anom- alous relic of the past will be swept from the statute books of England.

The New Orleans States seems to think that the North has been sending its tramps to the war, for it remarks: "Certainly there is truth in the homely adage that there is no sweet without it's bitter and the reverse. This war illustrates the latter, as it has gone a long way toward the removal of the tramp nuisance from the northern cit- ies at least. There the better class have always been a little shy of bull lets, and now they wisely consider that the tramp and hobo will make excellent food for gunpowder." There is neither truth nor poetry in these queer state ments.

In view of the fact that a large na- jority of the visual Authorizations &C., companying cases of delirium tremens consist of the appearance of snakes and worms, some examinations with the ophthalmoscope were recently made and brought to light interesting facts. In sixteen cases examined, there was found in every case an abnormal con- dition of the blood vessels of the retina. Instead of having their usual appear ance ard being pale and but slightly visible, they were dark with congested blood. Normally, these small blood vessels are so small and semi -transpar- ent that they are not projected into the field of vision, but in the case of this disease they assume great prominence, and their movements seem like the twisting of snakes.

MASS0 WANTS TO DISBANO
Gomez Threatens to Increase

MASSO WANTS TO OISBANO

New York, Oct. ia dispatch to the
World from Havana says:
1T is generally believed that a serious
breach has taken place between the ex-
ecutive department Of the Cuban rpublic
and leaders Of the military forces. Word
has been received here that General
Wood. at Santiago, has received through
Colonel Ray, a communication from
President Masso. advising that nothing
be done by Americans mat can in any
way be construed as recognizing the Gu
ban government.
''Masso has been joined by his COL
leagues in declaring that the time has
arrived for disbanding the Cuban forces.
He advises all soldiers to return to their
homes. there to resume labor as before
the instruction. He gives the assurance
that in 50 doing they will serve their own
best interests and viii be safe in the
hands of the Americans.
This course Will be vigorously combat
ted by General Gomez. General Jaun
Ducasso, one of the closest advisers of
General Gomez, arrived in Havana to-

Cuban republic and oppose further Amer
lean Intervention.
General Ducasse declares that Gomez
will lead the insurgents back into the
.ield before he viii submit to disarming
shem while American and Spanish soldiers
remain in Cuba.
Colonel Warnings first inspection of the
city filled him with surprise. The con-
ditions are much worse than he mad ex
pected. Every thing is favorable for an
outbreak Of fever. Garbage remains in
the streets. sometimes for days. though
the Spanish authorities are making every
effort 10 keep the fever in check. The
streets in many places are filled with
fostering matter. Last night hundreds
of bushels of rotten potatoes were dumped
at the foot of Obispo street.
''Dr. Wilson told Colonel Waring that
the city was never before in a condition
more favorable for a yellow fever cpl
demic. In normal times the deaths in
Havana number about 800 week They
now average fully 100 a day. In Guiana
