RURAL MAIL DELIVLNY.
The system Has Been Received with Great Satisfaction in All Parts
 of the Country.

The post office department is con- stantly receiving a large amount of evidence tending to show the popular ity of the free delivery system where 1t has been tried, and the desire for the extension of the service to other terri tory where it is not yet in operation. The original appropriation by the lant congress under President Cleyeland's administration, for the trial of the sys- tenn, was $50,000, and the Fifty-Fourth congress followed this with an appro- priation of $150,000 to continue the experiment The congress just ended increased this amount to $30s 900 and the system is now considered praeti- cally a permanent feature of the post office department. It is stated by the officials that very great satisfaction has been expressed throughout the country, and those familiar with the subject claim that in populous sections, where the country is thickly inter- spersed with farmhouses and whose correspondence naturally is consider able, the system will be eself-sustaining. The only persons, it is stated, who are opposed to the free rural delivery are the fourth-class postmasters, who lose not only their revenue from stamp can cellations, but also the privilege of doling out provisions of various kinds to the patrons of the office, who na- turally, in a good many cases, deal with them in the grocery line, the fourth-class postmaster usually keep ing a store. The service has now been extended by the department to nearly all the states and territories. and in such states as have made application, the department is now considering the most advisable systems to introduce. In some of the sparsely settled regions, where the farms are very large and the distances between houses great, ex- pertinent is being made with bi and triweekly system instead of a daily.

HIS LITTLE BUNDLE.
It Wasn't Much in Size But the Value of It Astonished the Hotel
 Clerk.

A quietlooking smooth shaven man, with a straw hat pushed back from his forehead, registered from an adjoining parish at the Grlnewald one evening and laid a package on the counter. The package was about the size of an unabridged dictionary and was wrapped up in an old newspaper that bore the stains of travel. It was tied with piece ot white cotton string 'l wish you would take care of this little bundle for me overnight said the stranger. All right, sir. replied the clerk, and, reaching for the receipt book, proceeded to fill out blank Whats the value?" he asked, mechanical ly. "SlNty-ive thousand dollars" an swered the smooth.shaven man in an off handed tone. What" gasped the clerk, his pen averted in midair and his eyes as round aN cart wheels. "Sixty-tive thousand" 2" repeated the guest; "and, by the way, 1 guess I'll just seal up that wrapping. It seems about to fall of.
 He opened the paper and disclosed rect. angular block of Sl0 bills, packed as tight as sardnes. Theye were nearly all well worn, but nevertheless the grimy mass looked strongly tempting. Its tremendous poten- tiallty drove a spur into the imagination of the dullest chap in the corridor, and every. body began to tell what he would do if he were rich. Meanwhile the smooth -shaven man readjusted the cover, secured 1t with wax. pocketed his receipt and walked of. He was country banker bringing deposit b his local orrespondent.-N. 0. Times Democrat.

HIS BATH NOT A SUCCESS.
Being in Hurry He Forgot to Take on His Under-
 clothes.

It seems her husband had been out very late celebrating and as he came home in the rose flush of the morning he thought 1t would be a capital idea to take bath be- fore getting into bed. First of all and most important it would contradict any wrong impression as to his condition, as his wife sometimes had wrong impressions when he had been out late at night. Women are so suspicious.
 So he went boldly to the bathroom and was soon splashing around as gayly as a canary. In fact, he created such an un- usual commotion that hls wife woke up and went to see what was the matter.
 Suddenly he saw her gazing through the door with look so cold and contempt uous that 1t struck chill to his very heart. But he made a dive for the soap and went on industriously with his ablu- tions.
 What are you doing there, Peter?" she asked him.
 He made the effort of his life to appear debonair and perfectly sober.
 Cant you see what l am doing, my dear| answered, with another prodigious splash 'I'm taking bath
 Don't you think it would be good idea for you to take off your underclothes% she asked him, with frozen reflection, as she passed out of sight.-Chieago Inter Ocean.

THE PROFITABLE COW.
She Must Carry Large, Fineiy- Shaped Udder and Be of Mod
 crate Temperament.

The most profitable COW is that one which will produce the maximum amount of milk, containing the maxi mum amount of fat, from the cheapest feed. This kind of COW is found in all our dairy breeds of cattle, and oceaslon- ally among the beef breeds. Whatever her breed, we will find that she con- forms to definite, clearly fixed type recognized as the dairy type, although not infrequently there are found marked exceptions. As rule, such COW is large, that is, large for the breed she represents. As a rule, too, such cow yields rather a large amount of milk, with d fat content of between four and five per cent. Such COW will always carry large, well developed, tinely-shaped udder, and usually be of moderate temperament. The man who is making a success in dairying is the one who recognizes the value of such cow and if he replenishes his herd by buying he tries to buy as near ly such a COW as possible. If he is breeder he tries to breed cattle of her type rather than be carried away by any fancy whim that may arise.-Natioaal Stockman.

DOG POWER IN OPERATION.

A, Detached lag; b. the Power; c, the Churn. ming on the pulleys. Rivet slats fcalled 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 dle.
 At each end of the lag a 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 riyets or clinch nails are needed to hold these bridges firm. Each al- ternate lag must have these strips set in aninch so they will lap past each oth- CT and rest on 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- tion.
 The connection with churn, sep arator or other machine can be made by ''tumbIing rod" connection, as illus trated, or by belt on the band wheel The lags may be 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.-0range Judd Farmer.

HIS BUSINESS ABILITY.
Was a Gritty and Glorious Success.

This fair maid will have a handsome dot some time, and 1t is the ambition of her father to have her marry one whose fortune will at least equal her own.
 ''I want you to stop that young Blank call ing here," he remarked, recently, in the au- tocratic way that some fathers have. "He has no prospects worth speaking of, there is nothing to show that he has any business ability, and don't want him hanging around here any more"
 What is business ability, papa?'
 ''Why, you know. Everybody knows, of course. Let me see. Why, it s the ability to see the main chance, to grab it, and hang on till you get the money. That's what 1t is, and there's plenty of young men in Detroit that have it. Blank lacks it woefullN"
 "Oh, he does? I'm afraid papa, that you're speaking without proper information. He knows that I'll have $l0o,000 some time. That is a main chance worth looking after. Mr Blank saw 1t. He reached out and grabbed for it. He's hanging on, and he's going to get 1t. Do you happen 10 know of any other young man of his age and limited opportunities whose business ability has as- sured him so handsome a fortune?"
 The old gentleman's answer sounded sus- piciously like smothered profanity, and 1t was fully five minutes before the bewitching creature could bring the sunshine of a smile to his face. Now he tells few confidential friends that young Blank has the making of one of the best business men in the city, Detroit Free Press.

A Startling Answer.

A Latin professor was explaining the der ivation of our word "ostracise" to his class in local academy the other day. He told the story of the early Roman republics and the scheming of the politicians of the times. He related how, when any man in the republic became obnoxious to his neigh hors, they used to write his name on an oyster shell (Latin-ostreum, shell), and on the receipt of specified number by the consuls that man was banished, killed or otherwise removed in some one of those pleasant ways the old Romans had. When he had finished his explanation he said
 Now, the boy here in the front seat, what did we derive from the old Latin use of the she'll which was called ostreum"
 The answer he expected was far from what he got, for the little student with spectacles in the front seat arose and de- livered himself thus:
 From the Roman habit of using shells to get the best of people we derive the present Coney Island shell game, which is a fascinating and costly sport. Brooklyn Times.

SYSTEMATIC WORK.
It is Quite ns Essential to Road Inn. provement ns 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 leyeler being used as soon as the surface is dry enough to crumble. The passage of the grader fills u2 all the ruts and de- pressions in the road and leaves the center well rounded up and thus en- ables it to shed the water. The road must be kept clear of water, hence the grader must be used after rain when the clay will crunble. Now most of the road districts ate supplied with these graders and the necessary machinery to make and keep the road in good re- pair, but too ofteu the road master lets the grader lie hid in some outlot or fence corner tiit he has an idle time to use it.
 The great question arises, how can we retain good roads after they arc 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 ol 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 be proud of. All the bridges, cul verts, etc, were of solid masonry, and the road of good width and covered with broken stone. It 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 inn 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- ng the roads, but this is by no means fast, and when macadam or gravel is used to make the bed of the road solid it would be too heavy tax on the farm ers.-SamueI Sinnett, in National Ru- ral
