WELCOME TO A MONARCH.

Three men We're discussing the pro-
priety of the call made by President
Mckinley upon President Dole. The
discussion brought out this story:

how to do things when it came to en-
Pertaining folks from abroad, especi-
ally the hand-me-down kings" said
one of the two. HE was mayor of
Chicago when Kalakaua passed over
the country in search of loan. Col
vim was rough and ready, and wore a
shirt with a ruffled front and da-
mond in the middle, which always
made me think of bar tender on his
day off. When the king and his suit
arrived in Chicago, Colvin and his
staff We're at the station, and the
mayor took the king by the hand as
warmly as if the kind had been a
ward politician. The carriages moved
quickly to the Grand Pacific hotel.
Clark street was damned with peo-
pie clamoring for the king to come
out. The hour was early in the day.
At the request of Mayor Colvin IA
lakaua stepped out on the veranda
and bowed. The populace, unused to
sights of kings in flesh. yelled. May
or Colvin waved his hand and then
shouted:
"'His majesty, the king of the Sand
witch Islands,
"The populace yelled, laughed and
hooted. Then the mayor, remember
ing the early hour, turned to his royal
guest and said:
"Well king, you must be tired. Bet

with her work that the association is
more than pleased with her.
Miss Harber is q remarkable wom-

Miss Harber was commissioned deputy
and succeeded to the postmastership
when the Judge died in 1896. Miss
Harber resigned in 1897 and went to
st. Louis, where she was employed in
the Good Roads office. Since then
she has been promoted to her present
position, and has organized fifteen
societies, all of which are steadily in
creasing in membership.

Silver Combs Darken the Hair.

A mystery of the toilet, male and
female, has been disclosed by the dis
tinguished scientist, DR.. Vanderwelae.
He says that the use of silver combs is
very ancient and has always been
popular among people of an uncertain
age. A silver comb tends to darEen
the hair and beard when used with
regularity. The reason is very simple.
Hair contains sulphur, and this COM
bines with the invisible pieces of the
metal, which are worn off every time
the comb is employed. The combiua
ton of sulphur and silver is pure
black, as every housekeeper knows
who has used silver tableware. Young
men with slight and ight-colored
mustaches, old beaux whose mustaches
are beginning to turn gray, women
whose hair shows the mark of age are
the three classes who use silver combs
with earnest zeal"

Better Roads Easy to Secure.

In recent paper Professor W. c.
Latta sets forth the results of investi-
cations which he has made in Indiana.
He sent out large number of letters
to farmers in different counties, and
from the replies received he gathers
the following facts:
First. The average estimated in
crease in the selling price of land due
to existing improved highways is Sc. 4S
per acre. The estimates from which
the average is made refer in most cases
to lands near the improved roads; but
in a few instances they apply to all
lands of the county. The average in
crease, therefore, of $6.4S per acre is
lower than was intended for lands in
the vicinity of the improved roads.
Second. The estimated average in
crease per acre that would result from
improving all the public roads is 50.
Third. The estimated average cost
of converting tie common public roads
into improved highways is S1146 per
mile.
Fourth. The estimated average an
nual loss, per 100 acres, from poor
roads is STOPS.
He says that If these statements are
even approximately correct that they
furnish key to the satisfactory solu-
tion of the question of highway i'm
provement from the money standpoint.
On the basis of the last mentioned es-
innate the average annual loss per acre
from poor roads is over seventysi
cents. In five years the losses would
aggregate S2432 for every section of
land, and this sum would construct
two miles at cost of Sl216 per mile,
which is seventy dollars per mile above
the estimated cost given by the farm
ers themselves. The present road tax
which, under existing laws, is largely
thrown away. would, under proper
system of road maintenance, doubt

would look at them Chimsicaly, with
u quaint smile playing over his black
lips. and say: "Oh. jess tells" And
that was the only explanation old An
drew Jackson Henderson ever gave OF
the strange gift he possessed.
He was born in Tennessee tifty-fOur
years ago, and his boyhood was spent in
slavery. When the Union army march
ed through his native State he was
picked up by a Union officer named
Cox, who made him his personal ser
want. After the close of the war Cox
returned to GAINESVILLE and was accom-
panied by Andy. The negro married
and proSpered. Everybody in IaneS-
vile knew him. Several years ago he
accidentally discovered that he was
able TO tell the time at any hour of the
day or night by simply placing his
hand to his ear Thousands of times
he demonstrated his ability 10 do this,
much TO the delight of the children and
the wonderment of their elders. just
as the sun was going down on last
Christmas Day old Uncle Andy died as
the result of a paralytic stroke. and
with him died the knowledge of the Sc
cret of the human timepiece.

Tire valves are replaced, in new British

Over caution in cycling Is source Of

to get hurt. Their frantic, half-blind ef-
forts to escape fancied perils frequently
lead them into real dangers, from which
there is no escape without smash or at
least fall.
Anew use for the bicycle in warfare was

The Atlanta Constitution remarks:
According to the latest bulletins sent
out from Washington our South At
lantic and Calf ports seem to be in
creasing steadily in popularity with
bread-stuff exporters. The total in
crease of bread-stuf shipments for the
nine months ending March 81, 1898,

months of the preceding year, aggre-
gate SIC, ,OS7, 449, and of this total in
crease S37, III, 757, or forty-nine per
cent, is credited to four Southern
ports. viz, Galveston, New Orleans,
Newport News and Baltimore.
To go somewhat more into detail,
Galveston is credited with net
gain of 81, OIL, 402. New Orleans with
q net gain of SO, 102, $50, Newport
News with net gain of 81, 74l ,OS9,
and Baltimore with net gain of Sl5,
292, GIG. These figures are gratifying
in the extreme, and while they apply
only to bread-stuff exports, they serve
to show that our South Atlantic and
Gulf ports are steadily growing in
favor with American shippers.

How Some Roads Are Built.


The notion that anybody can build
a road is responsible for many fail
ures. Commissioner Macdonald, Of
Connecticut, tells story of such
people. He says that Quaker Went
into hardware store to buy an axe.
"How much does thee ask for g
Bradley aXe?' he asked.
Gone dollar and thirty-five cents, "
was the answer of the shopman.
''Thee asks too much; will make
an axe myself"
He bought chunk of steel, took it
home, put it in the fire, hammered it
and belabored it until it had assumed
the general outlines of an axe head.
But it was dull.
"Huh," said he, "thee cannot make
an axe. But thee can make wedge" "
He put the steel back into the forge
and knocked it into the shape of a
wedge. But it had lost its temper.
"Huh," again quoth the Quaker,
"thee cannot make an axe, and thee
cannot make n wedge, but thee can
make a sizzle," and he thrust the hot
iron into the rain barrel. That's what
a big majority of roadmakers used to
do in this State-make siZzle.-Good

Cycling Notes.

A Bordeaux cyclist intends attempting to
ride backward from Soulac to Bordeaux, a
distance Of ninety-two miles. An English
cyclist some years ago rode backward from
London to Brighten.
In Germany $4,000 workmen were en-
ployed in bicycle factories in 1896. This
does not include those making only sepa-
rate parts, such as rubber tires, ETC., who
would probably bring the number up to
100000.
Pneumatic tires are displaced in Brook
lyn mans invention in which the wheels
are mounted on vertical rods attached to
the frame and held by springs to allow
small amount Of play when the wheels
strike rough spot.

The modest but notable achieve
ments of a Connecticut widow on a
farm put to shame the complaining
farmers who assert that farming in
New England is proftless, and who,
failing to. sell the farms which they
have worn out, abandon them and en-
ter into the fiercer competition for a
livelihood in the cities This woman,
whose story is told in the Hartford
Courant. was left widow twelve
years ago, at the age of fifty. She re-
eeived from her husband farm of 165
acres, having upon it one COW, a
heifer, two horses aud mortgage for
SI750. She now has herd of COWS
and three horses, and has paid $1,000
on the mortgage. In other words,
upon 165-acre farm the woman seems
to have made living and saved about
$3.50 year, besides current interest
on the mortgage. In addition, it
must be inferred that the industry
and business sense which accom-
plished this much also improved the
farm and thus increased its cash
value. Few women of fifty years
could do more in any occupation.
Indeed, the majority Of men do less.

Worthless are for months together;
Roads made hard by sciences art
Always firmly do their part.
If water stands on a road it soon
ruins it; ruts collect and retain water;
the narrow tire is the father of ruts.
Hard roads make access to the farms
easy at all seasons; produce can be
shipped in any weather If the high
ways are passable.
In south Jersey town all the freight
wagons were changed to wide tires
over a year ago, and since that time
their roads have kept in much better
condition.
Lack of social life and restricted
means of communication drive the
young men from the farms into the
cities. Good roads will gradually
change all that.
Colonel Pope, in speaking of the
wide tire agitation in Massachusetts,,
said: "Carts and other heavy vehicles
should act as road-rollers rather than
road -destroyers.'
Wet weather roads are what are
needed. 1t is easy to make roads
that are good in dry weather, but to
make them good in the wet season re-
quires knowledge and skill.
The applications from the counties
in New Jersey for money to be used
under the provisions of the State-aid
law are so numerous that bill has
been introduced in the Legislature for
an increased State appropriation.
Farmers have been used to staying
cooped up on their farms in bad
weather for so long time that it is
hard for them to realize the advan-
tages that would accrue to them from
having hard and clean highways at all
seasons of the year.

that, il the Government is unable to pro-
