FROM HER VIEW.
A Lady Passenger Chats Very In.
tcrestedly About Street,
Car Etiquette.

A man standing on the back platform OF
an east bound Euclid car was much amused
by a conversation he couldn't help over
hearing between two well-dressed women.
1t was six o'clock and, of course, the car was
crowded. There were several ladies' on the
platform and the two who talked were close
to the involuntary listener.
Dreadful, isn't it, out here?' said one
lady.
EYES," said the other, but what can you
do? I'm dreadfully ashamed to 60 home at
this time of the afternoon. We have no
business on these cars. ! declare it's too
Rad. Just see all those men standing ny
in the car and all the women sitting down.
They should be ashamed of themselves-the
women. mean. I'm glad that some Of the
men don't get up. They serve the women
just right Men are so foolish about such
things-1 mean giving up their seats. OF
course nine gentlemen out of every ten will
offer their seats, but | never want to accept
one. We have no right to expect such
favors. And yet what can you do? 1t makes
a woman look so foolish, hemming and haw-
ing and trying to refuse seat. tried it
once or twice. and then sat down after all.
The trouble is the men don't believe we are
in earnest when we refuse a seat-and l
guess most of the time they are right. There,
look in the car now and see the poor, pale
faced man giving the stout woman his seat.
It's too bad That man has been bending
over desk all day, and suppose the woman
has been out to some afternoon euchre party.
These things are unj1stly arranged. Per
haps times will even them up. Oh, this is
your street? Good night" -Cleveland

FACTS FROM INDIANA.
Improvement Question from
Money Standpoint.

In a recent paper Prof. w. c. Latta
.ets forth the results of Investigations
which he has made in Indiana. He
sent out large number Of letters to
farmers in different counties, and from
lie replies received he gathers the FOL-
lowing facts:
First. The average estimated in
crease in the selling price of land due
to existing improved highways is $6.zS
per acre. The estimates from which
the average is made refer in most cases
10 lands near the improved roads; but
ia 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 i'll
| crease per acre that would result from
improving all the public roads is nine
dollars.
| Third. The estimated average cost OF
converting the common public roads
into improved highways is $1,1t6 per
mile.
| Fourth. The estimated average an
nual loss, per 100 acres, from poor roads
is $76.2S.
| lie says that if these statements are
even approximately correct that they
furnish key to the satisfactory solu-
ton of the question of highway i'm
provement from the money standpoint.
On the basis of the last mentioned est
mate the average annual loss per acre
from poor roads is over 76 cents. In
five years the losses would aggregate
| 1872 for every section of land, and
this sum would construct two miles at
a cost of Sl,216 per mile, which is SIC
per mile above the estimated cost given
by the farmers themselves. The pres
eEt road tax which, under existing
laws, is largely thrown away, would
under proper system of read mainte
nance, doubtless keep improved high
ways in perfect repair.
The advantages to be gained he con
cisely says are that good roads O)

BLOOD POISONING,
A Nurses Experience.
Shed rather have one than three

There are thousands Of people suffering
from blood poisoning who have almost
beggared themselves in buying medicines
from which they have obtained no help.
There are thousands OF others who first or
last have tried DR.. Ayers Sarsaparilla and
found perfect healing. One of these
others, Mrs. A. F. Taylor, of Englevale,
N. Oak. relates the following experience !:
about two years ago, nursed lady
who was suffering and finally died) from
blood poisoning. I must have contra cted
the disease from her; for shortly after her
death, had four large sores or ulcers,
break out on my person. I doctored for a
long time, both by external application
and with various blood medicines; but, in
spite of all that I could do. the sores would
not heal. They were obstinate, very pain
full, annoying, and only getting worse all
the time. At last, purchased six bottles
ofDr.Ayer's Sarsaparilla. thinking would
give it a thorough trial. Before the first
bottle was taken, noticed a decided inn
provement in my general health; my ap-
petite was quickened. and l felt better
and stronger than I had for some time:
While using the second bottle, I noticed
that the sores had begun to look healthier

Use of the BabcOck Test.

The use of the Babcock test to deter
mine the amount of butter fat in the
milk is not for the purpose of determin-
ing how much butter can be made from
the milk. The object is to find the
relative value of the milk. Before the
Eabcock test was invented milk was
bought at SO much per 100 pounds re-
gardless of quality. 1t was known that
this was not fair way, as some cows
gave milk much richer than others. but
it was the best way they had. The
test is used to find how much fat there
is in the milk and in that way the reIa-
tive value of all milk brought to the
factory is determined.-Dak Field
