Farmers Can Make Good Roads.

John Gilmer Speed, writing on "How
to Have Good Country Roads,. in the
August Ladies' Home journal, proposes
that in each county there be founded a
Road improvement Association, which
shall have one or two days meeting in
the autumn of each year. To the member
ship and to the meetings all the farmers
should be invited, while all those in the
county acting as road overseers, or road
supervisors, should be urged especially to
attend. At these meetings special, def
mite, practical instruction should be given
in maintaining and repairing dirt roads.
Competent men to give such instruction
can be secured without cost to such
societies, for the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture has a Road Bureau,
and this bureau will always supply a
competent instructor to tell the people
just exactly what they need, and how to
do the work as it should be done.'' Mr..
Speed also urges that school children be
interested in the work and taught the
rudiments of road building and road
keeping.

Wedding Bells.

AUSTIN WIGHT. At the home of Nj.
and Mrs. Henry P. White in Farm
ington, Me-, July Goth, Miss Lora L.
Wight and Mr.. Robert c. Austin were
married by Rev. William H. Ramsay
in the presence of the immediate rea-
tives. After a wedding breakfast the
couple left for tour of the great lakes.
They will return about Aug. TO- to remain
about three weeks, after which they
will make their home in Brooklyn, \. y,
where Mr.. Austin has business interests.
Mr.. Austin belongs to one of the wea til
lest families in Maine, although native of
New York. The bride is a very charming
and talented young woman, member Of
prominent family, and cousin to Mrs.
White, at whose home the ceremony was
performed. She graduated at the head of
a class of Al from the Pennington State
Normal School in 1894, and for two years
has been teaching in the seventh grade of
the public schools of Maiden, Mass.

A Reputed Cup Challenger.

1t is stated tina, the English schooner
yacht Rainbow, which is said to be the lar
gest sailing yacht in the world, will chal-
lenge next year for the America cup. She
is owned by Sir Charles L. rr-Ewing and
is 16s feet over all, but just comes in the
cup limit by being lis feet water line
She sports 9O-foot main boom with a
mainsail of LOO square feet, and alto
gether spreads 1900 square feet of canvas
without her balloon jib and other kites
She has ITO tons of outside lead keel and
was designed by Watson. English schoon-
ers have not in the past come quite as
near as the sloops and cutters to success
in the Americas cup chase, however.
The last schooner race for this trophy was
in August, 1875, when the Canadian
yacht Countess Of Dufferin was badly de-
feated by the Madeleine. Previous Eng
lish schooners defeated were the Livonia,
in 1871, and Cambria, in 1870, both of
them being owned by Mr.. Ashbury.

made to fit the feet, with broad soles and

simple dessert, such as whipped or
Bavarian cream. After dinner rest

The Ship: Her Story.

Here and there, in reading of the early
ship, one meets with statements which
must astonish a seaman, writes Clark
Russell in the Pail Mall Magazine. We
all know from Homer that the anchor was
stone secured by ropes to the bow. An
unlocked craft light as Madras surf
boat would no doubt ride safely thus
moored in smooth water. AS the world
grew older an anchor superior to stones
was devised. Pliny ascribes the inven-
| ton of the anchor to the Tuscans. Stra-
DO is the authority for the statement that
the second 1uke was added by Anachar-
sis, the Scythian. Ships, as in our times,
went to sea with several anchors. St.
Paul ship carried four, and in the gale
they let ''them'' go by the stern, which
may have saved the life of the ship, for
had she bowed the seas then running
there is good reason to suppose from the
character of her shape forward and the
| appearance of her amidships section,
which painters represent as a dangerous
we'll deck, that she would have gone
down.
The sailor will be surprised to hear that
those early jacks went to sea equipped not
only with chain cables, but with anchor
buoys in the form of great cork floats.
Though for long period, running
maybe into centuries, the rig of the ancient
ship was of the simplest kind-namely
a large square sail, and occasionally a
sort of mizzen-yet in some respects
the hulls of vessels of burden, such as the
grain carrying craft, were equipped
according to modern notions. We read
of the ship Theseus as being complete
ly decked and furnished with a little
skylight. Whether the growth of ship
ping was retarded by the seaman's very
imperfect and dangerous art Of nav
igation, or whether it was arrested by q
lack of all impulse, by absence of all
ambition to look abroad and observe il
the earth was larger than the little piece
of Europe with which the ancients were
acquainted, may be left to the ''nautica

ENGLISH POLITICS.

The sentimental and informal alliance
which, it is asserted, already exists he.
tween England and the United States nm.
doubtedly meets with hearty appreciation
from the heir apparent to the throne q,
Great Britain. 1t is significant and
possibly momentous fact that the Prince
of Wales entertains very large views as r.
the future of the English speaking people
and it may transpire that the personal
opinions and desires of Queen Victoria 5
oldest son will be of no inconsderable i'm.
portance in the history of England and
America.
The character, capacity, and habits of
thought of the Prince of Wales are verv
different from what those who know him
not believe, very different from what is.
perhaps, the popular idea of his PERSONAL,
ty in this country. He is ordinarily cred
tied with good sense and tactfulness, but
not with that intellectual grasp which
those who know him best assert that he
possesses in an unusual degree. His mind
has been developed by contact for a gen.
Grafton with the best authorities on all
subjects. His mental ability is active.

comprehensive, and profound, and if he
ascends the throne of Great Britain the
world will see no ordinary sovereign rul-
ing at Westminster.
Such view of the character of the
Prince of Wales is presented by the writer
of a mastery article in the August num-
Der of Harper's Magazine. The paper is
unsigned and entitled "If the Queen had
Abdicated." The authors opinions are
backed by a number of convincing anec-
dotes, and there is happy freedom from
the odor of sycophancy which usually per-
vades such tributes to royal personages.
An interesting portion Of the article is
devoted to a discussion of the proposed
abdication of Queen Victoria in 1897 Such
a step was strongly advocated by Her Ma
jesty at the completion of the sixtieth
year of her reign, and the political rea-
sons which led to its abandonment make
a curious chapter in the domestic and
diplomatic history of the empire. 1t is
strange that momentous events like this
often hinge upon causes which seem al
most ludicrously insignificant. Such facts
make anecdotal collections and what is
known as ''secret history of the utmost
interest to the general reader as we'll as to
the historical student.
The death of Mr.. Gladstone has releas-
ed a store of suggestive "reminiscences of
a personal nature which bear in this way
upon many of the important events of the
history of the world during the last tweu-
ty-tive years. Mr.. George W. Smalley, for
example, has contributed to the August
Harper's most readable paper of anec-
dotes, based upon personal experiences
with Mr.. Gladstone, which throws a strong
and in many respects, a new light upon
the character and traits of the eminent
statesman. Lord Rosebery once said that
MI. Gladstones life could only be written
by a limited liability company. MI
Smalley has made no attempt to write his
life, but he has furnished much valuable
material for a possible biographer. This
reminiscent article is to be followed in a
subsequent issue Of the same magazine by
Mr.. Smalley's estimate of the character
and career of the great prime minister.

Onions.

Every housewife knows that onions are
a kind of all-round good medicine, with
out knowing why.
She knows that solid red onion eaten
at bed time will by the next morning
break the severest cold
She also knows that onions make a
good plaster to remove inflammation and
hoarseness, but she does not know why.
If any one would take an onion and
mash it SO as to secure all the juice in it
he would have most remarkable smell
ing substance that would quiet the most
nervous person.
The strength of this substance inhaled
for a few moments will dull the sense of
smell and weaken the nerves until sleep is
produced from sheer exhaustion.
This all comes from one property pos
sessed BY the onion, and that is form of
opium.

ShipbuiIding in Elaine.

Shipbuilding in Maine promises better
this year than for a long time past and it
is thought that one result of the Spanish
war will be boom in West India trade,
with a consequent increased demand for
vessels of moderate size.
Few ships or banks have been built in
Maine for the past ten years, and no brig
has been launched from Maine yard
since 1888. The only ship now under
construction is a steel vessel Of about 3, 600
tons in the yard of Arthur Sewall & Co. =,

ABOUT SAUSAGE.

The relations between the town
council and several of the grocery
men, are more or less strained. The
point at issue is whether or not the
grocerymen have a right to sell cured
meat, such as sausage, etc., in compe-
tition with fresh meat markets.
AS a matter of fact, the question
has been up for several years. Along
about this time last year there was
complaint through the town council
against grocerymen selling bologna
sausage. The grocerymen were noti-
fed to quit; but they paid no atten-
ton to the notice, and the town coun-
Gil did not see fit to press it.
Now several grocerymen are bring.
ing from other states sausage that is
claimed to be all pork and selling it At
10 cents a pound. The local meat
markets have again complained, and
the dealers have been notified through
the town council that they will either
have to quit selling the sausage or pay
the fresh meat license.
So far the town council has not seen
fit to make any arrests with view to
testing the ordinance. The matter
should be settled, however, in order
that all may know where they are at.
