know that you are doing great deal
all the time. but did not know who else
to go to this time. 1t is hard to always
go begging, even if it is in behalf Of
Others" and Miss Henderson paused, as

the rich and charitable sometimes reach

Eyes, know Miss Henderson," re-
sponded Mrs. Estabrook. pleasantly, in
an encouraging tone, ''but this time my
charity fund is not quite exhausted.
What is it, please, that has affected you
sop
'Oh, you are always so kind! want
you to go with me and see what I have
seen. A laborer dying of lingering
disease and poverty, with wife and
three children, half-fed and half
warmed. The oldest girl is about II,
the youngest only three. When the
husband is awake the wife's time is
spent trying to ease his suffering. which
is constant; but by sewing during his
daytime maps and nights, she has kept
starvation away-not much more. Too
proud to beg, they have sold almost
everything that could be spared, and
that was not much. The doctor came
and asked me to Investigate the case
and see if / could interest some of the
ladies I knew. I found no food, no
money, scarcely bit of fuel, and the
half-crazed dying man, scolding be-
cause he was cold. and finding fault that
the chicken broth he longed for had not
been brought to him. Poor man, he is
too far gone to know the reason why,
and blames his wife; says she is tired Of
waiting upon him. I went to a kind
market man and he has sent up a bas
ket full of provisions, so that they will
have supper and breakfast at least. But
they need fuel, clothes, medicine
everything. A more complete case of
restitution I never saw, where there
was not drunkenness to cause it. and

Mrs. Estabrook wrote down the adj
dress and called her carriage. Quickly
donning street suit, she was soon
alighting at the entrance of narrow
street, and instructed her coachman to
wait there for her, as she did not like
to intrude her private carriage and
servants where it would create stir
and sensation. as such an equipage is
apt to do in tenement district.

CoIoring Easter Eggs.

Easter eggs can be colored with ami
line dye. 1t should be diluted to the
proper shade and the eggs boiled in it.
Green, the color of hope and resurrec-
ton, is particularly appropriate. but Il
variety is pleasing-rcd, pink, blue,
pale yellow and purple. Eggs can be
boiled hard, and painted in water-col-
ors with a single spring flower, as a
primrose, or butterfly, also symbol
of the resurrection. They should be ar
ranged in nests of moss. German chill
dren believe that the Easter eggs are
laid by hares, so representations of this
little animal are often placed on them,
or near them. Painted butterflies,
mounted on wire, can be made to hover
over the nest.-Ladies' Home Journal.

1t was indeed sorrowful scene that
met her eyes. The children gazed upon
the beautiful woman in black who en-
tered their poverty-stricken home like
a creature from, to- them, an unknown
world. They gazed with the widely
opened eyes of children accustomed to
patiently enduring deprivation.
They sat in silence, as if abashed by
the presence of coming death and the
poverty about them, as well as by the
presence of beautiful stranger. Had
She not been in black they would have
thought her fairy. but they had never
read of fairies clothed in mourning.
They were 'doing nothing" as the very
poor often are found, because they had
nothing to do with!
Mrs. Crandall was as neat as her pow
erty would permit her to be. There
were neither rags nor unkempt heads OF
hair, but patches were plainly in evil
dence, and the lack of comforts every
where.
Mr.. Crandall had been failing for
many months, and now the doctor had
said that it was but a question Of days
when he would be out of his misery.
Their few savings, for they had been a
thrifty family, had soon melted away
for his medicines and their daily food.
The doctor expected no pay for his time
and advice, but the druggist had de-
manded cash for each prescription
filled. Mrs. Crandall pitifully told how
she had managed at first, by the help
of the two older girls about the house
before and after school daily, to find
odd moments to sew by daylight, but
her needlework had been chiefly done
at night, when her husbands maps were
longest. Yet she had only delayed the
hour which was now to be met. when
there was nothing for druggist or
grocer.
Customers naturally had carried their
work elsewhere, as so often her work
was not finished at the time promised,
the husband requiring unexpected care
from her. Then she had had recourse
to the selling of the cradle, no longer
needed; then her own little sewing
chair. the birthday gift from a brother,
but the few extras brought small sums
from her almost as poor neighbors, who
purchased them. It was the old, old

so,td Road. the Cheapest.

Good roads as "a creation of man and
a type of civilized society" is a theme
much dwelt upon, and mas not even zee
received all the consideration it de-
serves. But it is well to remember that
time is required to build permanent
highways, and that such conditions as
are found in some foreign countries cap
only be realized here after generations
have worked along some clear line of
improvement for many years Solid,
substantial roads are the cheapest in
the end, but they cost great deal of
money. 1t is injudicious and wasteful
to attempt the best and then do it in n
shoddy manner. Better, far. do less and

In an interesting article on ancient
and Modern Highways" by C. L Whit
tie, in the New England Magazine, tho
writer divides the history OF road-build-
ing, as affected by various uses, into
three periods: First, during the reign
of the Egyptian and Assyrian kings;
second. beginning with the rise of
Carthage, and continuing through the
rise and fall of the Roman empire,
three, beginning in France, with the
roads conceived by Napoleon and exc
cuted by Tresaguet; then by McAdam
and Telford in England, afterwards on
the continent, and now in the United
States

HINTS FOR DAIRYMEN.

Some COWS do not like some mixers,
and it is Unwise to have themmilked by
such persons.
Unless it is an extraordinary good
cow, an habituaI kicker is too much
OF a nuisance to fool with.
1t took long time to stop the fraudu-
lent sale of oleomargarine, but the law
has triumphed a: last.
The laws of heredity will sometimes
transmit the habits of the parent and a
cow with bad habits is not entirely safe
to breed from.
Never trust the milking of a heifer TO
any one who has not q good stock of
patience and Judgment Lack of either
may ruin the cow
The farmer is foolish ever to buy cod
liver oil. Cream and butter answer the
purposes, medicinal and for nourish-
ment-much better.
Sore teats can often be cured by vase
line, which is one of the simplest and
best remedies we have for ordinary
sores. So is the extract of witch hazel

RURAL MAIL DELIVERY.
Only Question of Time When IL
VIII Be Generally Established.


VIII Be Generally Established.
For some time the government has
oeen making a trial of free rural mail
delivery in % states ON ~ different
routes. These routes were located in
widely-scattered districts, differing
from each other in general character
as far possible. The mountain dis
tricts of Arkansas, the back country dis
tricts of the middle west, the negro set
Elements of the south, the farming dis
tricts of other states-all kinds of terri
tory were covered in order to give the
plan a thorough test. Perry Heath, who
has had the supervision of the trial,
says in his report that, according to
the varying conditions of the country
traversed, the rural carriers perform
their service on horseback or riding in
buckboards, buggies, two-wheeled carts
or on bicycles. In some states they have
to cross farms and pull down bars and
ride over fields 20 deliver and collect
their mails. In no instance has any
serious complaint been made of this
invasion of private rights. On the con-
trary, the cooperation OF the communi-
ties served has in every instance been
effectively and cheerfully given. The
farmers, at their own cost, have put up
boxes at the crossroads and at all other
convenient places for the reception of
the mails, The general results OBJ
tanned have been so satisfactory as to
suggest the feasibility of making rural
delivery permanent feature of postal
administration in the United States, not
Immediately or in all districts at once,
but in some graduated form.
From this time on, therefore, we may
expect to see movement for the per
manent establishment of such a system.
The appropriation for the experiment
was only intended to cover it as such,
and for any further development of the
system other provision will have to be
made. This provision will naturally be
gradual, inasmuch as the establishment
of the system throughout all the rural
districts at once would entail an enor-
nous expense. But it has been proved
that the plan is feasible and that 1T
meets demand. Therefore it is only a
question of time when it will be gen

ARE NOT A LUXURY.
Weu-Made Highways Are Really
Among the Necessities.

Well-Made Highways Are Really
Among the Necessities.
The road commissioner of New -Jer-
sey, Mr.. Budd, points out that it costs
three cents bushel to haul wheat on
level road a distance of five miles, and
at least nine cents to haul it the same
distance On a sandy road, which goes
to illustrate the practical economic i'm
portance of good roads. This is a point
which deserves the serious attention OF
farmers. Sandy and rough roads are
wearing out their horses and vehicles
and increasing the actual cost of their
farm supplies and of the marketing of
their produce. Though little recog-
nized. this is a fact most potent to the
careful observer. and most pointedly
and truly expressed in Mr.. Budd's re-
port. When this fact penetrates the
minds OF farmers more generally they
will begin to realize that money and
labor expended on road improvement
will save money for them in reducing
the actual cost of hauling and in saving
vehicles and horses.
Tt is high time to dispense with the
dea that good roads are Injuries. mere
fancy frills. and to regard well-made
highways as among the necessities
