degree abating their own interest in
highway improvement, cyclists find It
for their own interest in such districts
to secure the construction of cycle
side paths. Such paths are directly
beneficial to all concerned, for the
wheelman gets a good roadway and
the opposition are afforded food for
thought in the constant spectacle of
the easy, rapid locomotion of vehicles
ever smooth surfaces.
This is an educative influence, but it
cenLot always be counted on as suifi-
cient. TO secure permanent results
it should be supplemented by practical
instruction, not alone to the adult
generation. but to the youth who will,
before many years, be called upon to
decide whether the mudways of tie
past are to be retained, or whether
greater prosperity is to be courted by
the aid of hard and permanent high
ways.
Demonstrations of road construc-
ton held annually in every county;
building of sample stretches on scien-
tific principles; efforts to arouse in
terest by promoting discussion in
farmers oranges and associations;
circulation of readable, convincing
matter, and the like. are among the
means that can be used to appeal to
the adult mind.
But younger minds can be appealed
to more effectively through the in
struction of the schools and colleges,
in every one of which information on
the social and economic value of good
roads ought to be given. This is a
phase of the subject that has not yet
received the attention it's importance
merits. Too much cannot be expected
of the present generation, but the on
coming one can be trained to see the
great advantages of improving the
highways, so that they will naturally
take up the work when their time and
opportunity comes.
Doubtless there are obstacles to be
encountered in securing the introduc-
ton of such instruction into the COM
mon schools, but they can all be over
come. Not the least among them, per-
haps, is the fact that few teachers are
themselves at all well informed on the
subject, and might not welcome II at
first. Few works suitable for pur-
poses of instruction now exist, and a
demand for them would be created
but, in short time, all this could be
remedied, and intelligent instruction
given to the young would eventually
bring forth fruit thousandfold.-

hohd instructiOn Is Necessity Where
Permanent Results Are TO BE
Accomplished.

1t is not to be denied that wheelmen
sometimes feel discouraged at the re-
suits obtained from ten years OF per-
sistent agitation, much thankless la
Dor and considerable expenditure of
money in the cause of highway i'm
provement. At times the efforts that
have been put forth seem to have been
out of all proportion to what has been
accomplished. The temptation, then
is strong to relinquish the work en-
tirely to those who will be the most
immediate and chief beneficiaries OF
it; but, knowing that the withdrawal
of their assistance would be the re
moval of one of the strongest supports
of the cause, they turn again 20 renew
their efforts in its behalf.
There are some things connected
with the road problem that are better
understood to-day than they were g
few years ago, and they have brough,
to wheelmena realization that there
are many sections of the country ir
which it is well-nigh impossible to in
terest or instruct the people on thu
subject, and where it may take gen
eralion or two to convince them that
bad roads cost money while goot
roads save it. Therefore, while in nc

A GRACEFUL WALK.
II Ii a Beauty Within Itself, and
Every Girl should Seek to
Cultivate AZ.


To be thoroughly graceful long steps
and quick short steps should be equally
avoided, remarks French woman. A
stiff walk is also very ungraceful, and
that is the great fault of English girls.
They walk too stify and take too long
strides.
Spanish women have very pretty
walk, naturally, as also, have Italian
country girls and all accustomed to
carry weights on their heads.
To exercise walking a weight on the
head is very good lesson. You must
not be content, however, to walk
straight before you without letting the
weight fall from your head. You must
turn backward and forward, and from
side to side, as Italian country girls
do when they carry their water jars
from the well and can turn in all di-
rections without drop of water be-
ing spilled from the jar on their head.
More marriages are made up at the
well in Italy than in any other public
place. Young rustic fellows stand by
the we'll to watch the girls fill their

HE WAS REvENGED.
Thought He Had Run In on High.
Toned People, But Came Out
Unscathed.

A young man about town was caught in
oNe of those sudden downpours OF rain that
have lately astonished the natives. he was
on Euclid avenue at the time, and, obeyng
the first impulse of self protection, ran up
the nearest walk md placed himself meath
the shetering roof of house porch. 1t was
early in the evening, and yet the house, he
noticed was quite bright with lights. 1t was
a rather narrow porch and he stood close by
the front door while the rain came down in
wild gusts.
Pretty soon the door was opened and a
trim maid stood IN the opening. She looked
at the stormbound youth, and he looked at
her. She held the door invitingly open.
Wont you step in?' she asked.
He stepped in, good deal pleased at this
example of unexpected Samaritanism
The maid looked at him again.

then he knew that he was mistaken for a
caller.

me for somebody else, invited me in. GER

The magnificent matron looked at him
with critical eyes.
Then she turned to the maid.

tones, take this young man to the kitchen
and give him an umbreller"
And when the youth heard her say "um

Renovating White PIumes.

To clean white ostrich feathers cut
some pure white soap in small pieces
and pour boiling water on them and
add a little mite of soda. When the
soap is dissolved and the water cool
enough, dip the feathers in and draw
them through the hand. Do this sew
eral times until the lather is dirty,
then make clean lather and repeat
the operation. Afterward rinse the
feathers in cold water, slightly blued
Pat the feathers between the hands
and shake them over the fire until they
are perfectly dry. Curl them by draw
ing each fiber between the thumb
and the dull edge of silver knife.
With a little care and patience the re-
suit will be all that can be desired.

Baron Duquesne, sent to Russia by
the Touring Club de France for the
object of inspecting the roads most
suitable for the projected Paris-St.
Petersburg motor car race, has issued
a long report stating that roads. as
understood in the rest of Europe, do
aot exist in Russia save in the immedi-
,te vicinity of the largest towns,where
they are few and far between, and very
bad at that. He concludes that the
intended race is almost an impossible
ty, as the rough pathways used as
roads would not allow one vehicle ever
reaching its destination. Russia, it
would appear from the above, is not a
country that could be easily invaded
unless the railways were secured first.

very high and is made SO that it can be
turned down when the wrap is thrown open.
Three yellow China silk frills are sewed
around the cape about foot apart, and the
whole wrap is lined with pink nearsilk.
The hat worn with this cape is of soft
white felt trimmed only with two long
ostrich plumes and rosette of pink ribbon
and yellow chrysanthemum under each
side of the brim. As the long plumes are
very expensive it is very good idea and a
great saving of money to purchase two cheap
ones and sew them together SO that they
make one long, full feather.
