change had come over Algernon Smith
Brownlee, NJ. O. At home he had
never amounted to much, socially, He
came Of very poor parents-'white
trash," the colored verdict said. Mr..
Brownlee's pedigree, however, began
with Mr.. Brownlee, and what he lack
ed in aristocracy of blood he made up
by his prodigious hustling abilities.
With his keen energy and upward
tendency Of mind, he had the good for
tune to combine an affable disposition,
an accommodating manner, q pleasant
smile and certain good address. When
he entered the race for Congress none
imagined for a minute that he had the
slightest prospect Of success, but the
average political weather prophet has
a dangerous tendency to pin his faith
to the infallibility Of his own opinions
and standing put upon them; and that
is why 1t happens so often that young
men like Mt. Brownlee beat out an old
race horse and go to Congress on IT,
dal wave. Unlike the ravens who
croaked his doom, Brownlee did some
characteristic hustling, snatched the
nomination from a tired old campaign
er and was elected.
When he reached Washington he
wore the conventional soft black hat
and long black skirt coat of the South,
but before he had been there six
months he looked like a Broadway

Brownlee's sharp retorts and held up to
the ridicule Of the house, while Brown
lee smiled in that fetching way of his
that made him resemble an expert con-
jurer when he contemplates the aston
ishment of the deluded victims of his
craftiness. Before he sat down Brown
lee had scored a triumph that insured
him place on one Of the big commit
tees Of the house when the next Con-
gress should organize.
One of the doorkeepers handed him q
note. He was receiving the congratu-
lations of his side of the house, and he
did not open it for several minutes,
holding it almost forgotten in his closed
hand. When he opened it he read:
"Dear Ally: am ready to beg your
pardon now-any time. Come. Am
heartbroken. DAISY"

Gravel Roads and cu1verts.

A few suggestions to trustees and
supervisors of the public highways
may not be out of place, writes a cor
respondent to the Indiana Farmer. In
the first place, it Is too common for
each man to want to haul his tax gravel
just where he wishes to, and perhaps
dump few loads into some mud holes
where it was soon lost in the mud. I
think the best plan Is to first build a
first-class grade before a single load
of gravel is put on the road, and that
can be done by good grader with an
experienced man; and narrowing or
draying until it is firmed down smooth
and even. 1t is then ready for gravel,
provided the culverts and bridges are
in proper order. And here would say
to trustees, do not invest any money
in sewer tile for culverts until you have
examined and noted the waste of mon
ey already spent for such tile. have
observed for many years that as a rule.
the bridges and culverts on our country
roads are entirely inadequate to carry
the water In time Of heavy rains; con-
sequently they are washed out, or the
road Is washed so much that repair Is
needed. Sewer tile is of no use unless
in place where there can be put two
or three feet Of dirt and gravel on top,
as heavy loads soon break through the
tile; and I notice that round culverts
are much easier washed around than
square ones. am sure there have been
thousands Of dollars spent for sewer
~ ~ !, J.,
been spent for larger and better culvert
material. Perhaps in the spring would
be the best time to suggest to super
visors the fact that it is poor road max
ing to undertake to grade more miles
than can be properly finished, because
badly finished grade is generally
worse in the end than to have left it
as 1t was.

There is no doubt that stewed fruit
is most wholesome addition to ordi-
nary diet. There are, however, many
persons who cannot eat it, either on
account of the acidity of the fruit or of
the large quantity of sugar required to
make it palatable. 1t should be remem-
bered that sugar does not counteract
the acidity OF the fruit, it simply dis
guises it. and If much of it is used it is
apt to interfere with the digestive Or
gans. Before cooking the fruit,
sprinkle over it small pinch of car
Donate of soda; this renders the dish
more wholesome. and Certainly more

One of the most singular Of railway
accidents was that near Genoa by
which a dozen lives were recently lost.
The Glori Tunnel, in which It occurred,
is very long. and so foul that the win
dows are shut, leaving the passengers
to keep alive on what air is already in
the car. But the engineers have no
such support, and the accident was
caused by the fact that all the drivers
and fremen ON the three engines needed
to haul the train up the heavy grade Of
the tunnel were asphyxiated. The train
consequently slipped back and plunged
into a passenger train at the bottom
Of the incline.
