GOVERNMENT ROADS.
Their Construction ElOquentIy Urged
for Social, business and Edu-
cntional Reasons.

The argument that it is the duty, and
within the province, of the gen
eral government to undertake road
building quite as much as internal i'm
provements is nCa frequently advanced.
1t has recently been brought forward
by Col. j. B. Killebrew, of Nashville,
who says some interesting things about
1t.
In the first place he claims that the
undertaking would be a proper one, as
the constitution permits the construc-
tion of post roads" and this he thinks
may be construed 80 as TO include all
roads made for carrying mails" which

SEEDLESS MELONS.
A Much-Advertised Theory About
Their Production Fails to Work
When Given n Trial

A good many varieties of fruits have
been grown so long from cuttings that
they have become seedless. We have
now apples and pears that are almost
seedless, specimens frequently being
found that are altogether so, and seed
less grapes and oranges are not at all
uncommon. The banana has no seeds
or at best only rudimentary ones, and
the pineapple is a seedleSs fruit. All
this must have taken long years of Sc
lection, whether it was done intelli-
gently or by chance, and all seedless
fruits are valued because they are
usually Of superior sorts.
A story is going the rounds that a
melon grower has discovered a method
of producing seedless melons. This is
to cover the joints of the vines until
roots start from them and then cut
them off at the roots, leaving the sec
ondary roots TO support the vine. This
sounds quite nice, and the only trouSle
with it is that it isn't true. If we could
produce seedless melons in this way it
would be a valuable discovery, but hav-
ing tried it we found the melons had
the usual number of seeds, as usual in
the sweetest part of the melon

A lot of dry loan or sawdust ought
to be put into the barn to absorb mois-
ture in the dressing. Have bins at the
rear of the cows, if there is space, and
have covers that can be raised to a level,
and held so by inside cleats, as shown.
This serves as a shelf on which milk
pals can be set.

LACE WAISTS ARE POPULAR.

Lace waists are to be used all winter
with cloth skirts as well as with silk,
and most of them are extremely smart,
says a writer in Harper's Bazaar. They
are made over silk or satin, with a
satin yoke and vest. The newest
model turns back from the shoulders
with pointed revers, mas a straight
piece down the front held in by a
black belt. and the back is cut like a
mans cutaway coat. II is very odd
in effect, but exceedingly smart, par
ticularly If made of the heavy yellow
lace. Such waist is worn with a
black silk or black cloth skirt, thus
making two costumes from the one.
Black lace waists are not 80 smart as
the white ones, but still are used.
They are made up over white and
trimmed heavily with black satin and

1880. The Baltimore e. Ohio railroad
was running the same year, but steam
was not put In as motor until 1881,
the cars being drawn by horses. The
road then only ran from Baltimore to
Ellicott Mills. There was a locomotive,
however, built long before ii was intro

of Cuynet, in 1863. in France. A Scotch

is more becoming fashion for a
stout woman than when the waist Is
made all of lace. A pale blue is very
effective made with belt and collar
of blue mirror velvet. Heavy black
lace put on over white satin looks
best with black cloth skirts, and a
very smart model has the body of
black guipure lace, tight-ftting at the
back, and in front cut in double bole-
ros over white vest The sleeves
are of black satin, with deep cuffs OF
black chiffon. This same chiffon is
put around the edge OF the bolero
Jackets. This is exceedingly becom-
ing, and a very useful style OF waist.
Some waists-so-c called lace waists
are nearly all satin or silk, with deep
cape collars of lace and cuffs to
match. The collar and cuffs can be
taken off and the waist worn plain.
In buying a collar Of this kind it is
best to buy one that has very long
points. Some come with points so
long that they reach to the belt. There
can be two shorter points over the
sleeves, one in front and one back, the
one in front forming a tight-ACting
vest. The cuffs should cover either
the upper or lower part of the sleeve.
Some people prefer having the upper
part covered and the lower part pam,
with ruftie OF lace at the wrist.

THE CALAMITY OF KALAMAZOO.

Have you heard the pretty legend, sad
and mournful, yet true,
OF the brave and dusky lover and the
Indian maid Hahzoo?
How they lived and loved and wan
dered on the rivers shady shore,
Happlest OF Indian lovers, in the days
that are no more?
All day long the maiden labored, weav-
Ing baskets by the stream,
Thinking of her love- her Kahla, weav-
ing him into her dream;
Then he comes she hears the rowing
Of his light birch bark canoe,
"Kahla!" calls she; cries ne: Coming,
coming to my own Mahzool"
All, one night she waits in In silence;
sad her face--her love is dead,
Wounded in .-e chase, her warrior in
a fortnight to be wed.
In the morn they find sweet Mahzoo
lying silent in the stream,
Gone unto her lover Kahla, nevermore
to watch and dream,
Still the echoes DER the river may be
heard soft through the air;
Echoes OF the warrior Kahla and OF
young Mahzoo the fair.
All the trees repeat the whisper, all
the ripples murmur, Too,
In the stream that bears their name
now-bears the name, "Kalam-
AGO."
