SYSTEMATIC WORK.
1t is Quite ns Essential to Road Inn
provement Hs the Expenditure
of Money.

The best way to improve and secure
our ordinary country roads for com
fort and convenience is the important
question for the farmer to consider.
One of the first important steps is to
keep the bed of the road dry This can
be best secured by the action of the
common road grader or leVeler being
used as soon as the surface is dry
enough to crumble. The passage of
the grader fills up all the ruts and de-
prcssions in the road and leaves the
center we'll rounded up and thus en-
ables it to shed the water. The road
must bcKept clear of water, hence The
grader must be used after a rain when
the clay will crumble. Now most of the
road districts are supplied with these
graders and the necessary machinery
to make and keep the road in good re-
pair, but too often the road master lets
the grader lie hid in some outlot or
fence corner till he has an idle time to
use it.
The great question arises, how can
we retain good roads after they are
graded? Here is where the question of
permanent roads comes in. In the early
history of our republic the national
government built and took charge of
the leading roads all over the nation.
The most prominent of them was the
great national road connecting St.
Louis with Washington. This is an inn
provement that any country might
well he proud of. All the bridges, cul-
verts, etc. were of solid masonry. and
the road of good width and covered
with broken stone. 1t was one of the
primary causes for the settlement of
the states of Ohio, Indiana and Illinois
One of the best arguments in favor OF
good roads is it enhances the value of
the territory they pass through.
In the state of Missouri the counties
are waking up to the necessity of i'm
proving the ordinary highways, and
the state is helping them to improve
their roads. Many wish to have the
farmers shoulder the burden of improv
ing the roads, but this is by no means
lust. and when macadam or gravel is
used to make the bed of the road solid
it would be too heavy tax on the farm

TREATMENT OF WOUNDS.
Some Simple Instructions Which
Every Mother should Con-
stantIy Bear In Mind.

Severe cuts and wounds need most
careful treatment, or blood poisoning

wounds will often prevent very bad
scars. Over punctured wound place

tammation ensues to allow the dis
charge to escape. A wound caused by
a rusty nail or a similar substance
should be cut to favor the escape OF
blood or foreign matter which may be
left in the wound. Water that has
been boiled and pieces of old linen are
always the best to use in dressing
cuts or wounds. On no account use
piece of unwashed calico for this pur-
pose. Rolls of old linen and adhesive
plaster should always be at hand where
there are children. Cleanse the cut from
blood, dirt and all foreign matter, then
bring the edges of the wound together
and apply diagonally several strips OF
adhesive plaster, pressing each firmly
to the skin. When cotton wool is ap'
piled medicated cotton only should be

ORDINARY CIVILITY.
The Advantages and Pleasures OF
1t as EIucidated by Mr.
Gobb1eby.

81 should recommend as an investment"
said Mr. Gobbleby, the practice Of civility.
As a matter of fact, don't suppose that a
very great number of men have suddenly be
come wealthy through this means; that is, |
don't suppose that large number OF very
rich people have left fortunes to men who
had been at one time or another polite to
them, but | don't doubt, either, that there
have been Just such cases, and | don t for a
moment doubt that substantial advantages
have often accrued to men through their
consistent civiHty.
But aside from any question of material
profit Though there is still always the
chance of that involved in it, | should say
that the exercise of civility would pay for
another reason. There are lots of people
who like civil treatment, who are, in fact,
really pleased by it, and though we might
not get anything in dollars and cents out of
civility extended in this way toward people
in general, yet / should say it would pay, for
we should get from it, at least, the pleasure
that is always to be derived from atfording
pleasure to others.
So | should say that from whatever point
of view we look at it, cjvility is a good in
vestment; we are spGe to get something out
of it, anyway, and it doesn't cost us cent. "

TEACH HER TO RUN.
The American Girl Should he Sys-
tematicaIly Trained in This
HeaIthfu1 Exercise.

The American girl can be saved by
proper physical training from becom-
ing the American woman with nerves,
says an authority on physical culture
in the New York World.
This physical training should begin
during the earlier days of child
hood. Take a girl at her fifth birth
day and teach her to run slowly, with
erect carriage, as far as she can with
comfort every secular day until she
reaches her ma ajority. Suppose by 10
she ran as far as she could with COM
fort in ten minutes, would it trouble
her much at IS, or at 2l, to run mile,
at a good pace, too?
''Is it not likely that even several
miles under favorable circumstances
for instance, in a hare-and-hounds
game-would not disturb her? Had
she been taught to run properly, never
touching her heels to the ground, and
springing lightly from her toes and
sole. to hold her arms practically mo-
tionIess, her chest high-as near her
chin as she could get it, and keep it
there-do you think that the muscles
she used in running through all these
years would be weak? Would she have
half-developed lungs or well-developed
ones? Would the muscles which held
her body erect be easily up to their
work and would it be natural for her
to be erect, or not?
Looking at the girl so trained, do
we not recall Emerson's saying that
Tn all human action those faculties will
be strong which are used?' She has
been intelligently using certain parts
of her body and limbs for many years;
not violently, not OVERRIDING them, but
nationally.
"This built them up and made them
strong, precisely as it did for her broth
er. who ran with her in all these daily
stretches. Her most important muscle,
her heart-thus, also, trained to strong,
steady, sensible, but never violent, daily
exercise-gained steadily in quality
strength and endurance. In short, she
has an educated heart, educated lungs,
educated limbs

ming on the pulleys. Rivet Stats (called
lags) to these belts for the dog to work
on. There must be but one rivet at
each end of the lag and this in the mid
die.
At each end of the lag small piece,
say an inch or less square and six
inches long, must be fastened to the
lags as a bridge to keep them from
sagging under the weight of the dog.
Two rivets or clinch nails are needed
to hold these bridges firm. Each al
ternate lag must have these strips set
inaninch so they will lap past each 9TH
er and rest on a lag on each side. Three
or four small rollers or wheels are
needed under each end of the lag where
the dog treads, as seen in the illustra-
ton.
The connection with churn, sep
arator or other machine can be made
by "tumbling rod" connection, as illus
trated, or by belt on the band wheel.
The lags may be a half-inch thick and
four or five inches wide. AS the pitch
may need adjusting to furnish the
power needed for different kinds of
work, it is well to hang the rear end by
straps so the elevation can be changed
at will.-Orange Judd Farmer.

Clothes cases and wardrobes are used
instead.
a new article of bedroom furniture is
called a clothes case. This takes the
place of the bureau or dresser. Instead
of having each drawer separate, like
boxes, half of the front opens upward
and the other half drops, forming a
shelf. The clothing is distributed in
shallow sliding compartments open in
front and drawn out by the edges.
These cases are made to order, in
small or large slides. shallow or deep,
as one may desire. The convenience is
obvious, as the articles have separate
compartments, and are not in such
danger of being wrinkIed frc,m having
piles of heavy clothing on tsp.
These trays are made of pain wood
to match the outside of the case, or
covered with linen, or padded with
scented silk pads. There are long trays
for the skirts, short ones for the waists
and little ones for the collars, ribbons,
etc, with some cubby-holes for fans,
gloves and handkerchiefs.
The panels of the upper half of the
front of the one shown was latticed
with ribbons to hold wells and other
light articles. When closed it latched
and locked with one key in the middle
and the outside of The front was ar
ranged in beautifully carved panels in

of which was famous in its day. One
of them, known as 'the necklace of the
Virgin of Atolla." was sold to the coun-
tess by a Spanish grandee for c $4,000.
Another was the property of the eX-
queen of Naples, the sister of the late
ill-fated empress of Austria. The third
was the celebrated necklace of eX-Em-
press Eugene, which was worn by her
on state occasions and which was sold
not long ago by firm of London jewel
ers for 100000. The value of Countess
Henckefs necklace at the present time
is estimated at $4,000.
