the partition in front is hinged at the

the partition is shut up, forcing the cat

q STOOD HIGH.
Her Name Had Appeared in the Sc
ciety Column and She
Was Arrogant.

A family living in a North side fiat lately
welcomed a new housemaid. The girl had
just come from Michigan and her appear
ance was progressing. Soon after her ad-
vent it was discovered that she was inclined
to treat the family with a patronizing air.
"Mary, you must do better, or l shall have
to find some one to take your place." the
mistress remarked the other morning.
Il don't allow anyone to speak to me that
way" replied Mary, with a toss of her head.
"Tm just as good as you are, and 1 want
you to know it."
Mary founced out of the room and re-
turned in two minutes with the weekly pa
per from her town. Among the social items
was the following:
Miss Mary Hansen hac gone to Chicago
to spend the winter. Miss Hansen is an ac-
knowledged belle in the leading circles Of
Sawdust Creek"
Mary waited until her employer had had
time to read the personal" and then shs
said, with whitening scorn:
"As l nave always been accustomed to 60
ing with the very best in my town, and as I
don't believe you ever have your name on
the society page of the Sunday papers, I
guess 1 can't afford to stay with you"
The North side woman declared the do
nestle incident closed. - Chicago Inter

ROADS.
They Are Constructed Under the
Supervision of Trained Engineers
and Well Kept Up.

Massachusetts spends annually about
$4,000 IN her state roads, and has now
completed some 222 miles of permanent
highways. The work is under the
charge of a state commission of three
persons, with offices in Boston, and q
arge corps of engineers. The commits.
sion meets, on the average, oftener than
once a week, at headquarters, and holds
a meeting during the year in each coun-
ty in the state. 1t also calls all the en-
glneers together at the end of the sea-
son to discuss the years work in detail.
Massachusetts was one of the first
states to undertake Systematically to
improve her highways, and also about
the earliest to provide instruction in
road building. Complete courses of in
struction are given in the Institute of
Technology and the Lawrence Scientific
school, Harvard university, photo.
graphs, models and drawings being
used in the lecture rooms, and visits be-
ing made to works in process of o n
struction. This work is admirable, but
it requires time to educate road en-
gineers, and in the meantime many
miles of highway must be maintained
and new roads constructed.
The Massachusetts highway commits
sion has always endeavored to disseIn.
mate information and give as much in
struction as possible. The work done
during the last five years has been To-
Gated in nearly one-half the 353 munic-
qualities of the state, while some SO
more have built modern roads; so a
very large number of towns and cities
have had experience in building good
roads.
The first chance to take the contracts
to construct state roads within their
own territory is given to the towns,
and many have awaited themselves of it;
so it has come about that hundreds of
men throughout the state have had
practical experience in building high
class roads, and competent foremen can
now be readily secured where a few
years ago it was almost impossible to
find them. Town officials, too, have
learned scientific methods and the
value of modern road machinery in a
most practical way, as they could not
learn it if modern roads were not be-
ing constructed before their own doors.
There are about 60 resident engineers
employed by the commission, and one
of them is stationed wherever a state
road is built, to instruct the contractor
and enforce proper methods, and he
remains in charge until the road is
completed. Above these are five divi-
sional engineer and a chief engineer.
In this way the work is thoroughly
systematized, theory and practice are
brought into play and large numbers of
persons become acquainted with the
principles of constructing modern good
roads.--Country Gentleman.

Wood Ashes for Annie Trees.

that the foliage was greatly improved
in sections of orchards treated with
wood ashes, and that the trees were
freer from disease. The color of the
fruit was also improved in some sea-
sons and with some varieties, but dur.
ing the seasons which favored the per-
feet development of the fruit the color
was not heightened. Apparently the
use of ashes has a tendency to hasten
the perfect development of the fruit.
Some seasons this ripening process was
carried so far where ashes were used
that the apples did not keep as well as
on portions untreated. - Prairie

QUALITY AND NEWS.

Fame and Excellence Are Determin.
ing Factors in successful Develop
ment-One of the Important Func-
tions Of H~igh-Clnss Newspapers.
In presenting interesting phases of
scientific and economic problems, high
class newspapers frequently give in
formation of as great value in their ad-
to the publication of the principal
events of the day; and when the fame of
a product is extended beyond its natural
limits into foreign lands, and a large de-
mand created throughout Great Britain
and her Colonies and the principal sea-
ports and cities of Europe, Asia and At
RIGA, it becomes 4 pleasant duty to note
the fact and to tell of the points of ex-
cellence on which so great a success is
based. We refer to the now world
famed laxative remedy, Syrup of Figs,
the product of the California Fig Syrup
Company. The merits of this we'll
known excellent laxative were first
made known to the world through the
medical journals and newspapers of
the United States; and is one of the dis
tinct achievements of the press. 1t is
now we'll known that Syrup of Figs is
an ethical proprietary remedy, ap-
proved by the most eminent physicians
everywhere, because it is simple and eff
fective, yet pleasant to the taste and ac-
ceptable to the system, and not only
prompt in its beneficial effects, but also
wholly free from any unpleasant after
effects. 1t is frequently referred to as
the remedy of the healthy, because it is
used by people who enjoy good health
and who live well and feel well and are
we'll informed on all subjects generally,
including laxatives. In order to get it's
beneficial effects, it is necessary to get
the genuine Syrup of Figs. which is
manufactured by the California Fig
Co. only.

THE CLAIMS IN ISSUE.
They Involve S15O.00O. Fer the seiz-
Urc of Three American Vessels.

Washington, Oct. 25.-rheSe claims
originated in the seizure, by Russian
officers. off the coast of Siberia. ol
three American sealing vessels. and
the damages claimed aggregated about
100000. The vessels were the James
Hamilton Lewis.the Cape Horn Pigeon,
and the {. II. White. In each case tn.
largest item of the claim is on nc.
count of the sutferings of the Ameri-
can officers and crew while under ar
rest.
Differ From British Claims.
The cases differ from those claims
presented by British s~ealers. whic,
we're settled by the Behring sea arbitra-
lion. i'll the fact that while the British
vessels We're seized by the American
eyenue cutters on what the arbitra-
tlon declared to be the high seas, the
Russian men-of-war seized these Amer
lean sealerS within seven miles of the
.Asiatic coast. 1t is a matter of inter
EST that for the first time the Russian
government contends that marine
jurisdiction of a country extends AZ
least this distance from the shore line,
instead of being limited to a marine
league, as laid down by the older
writers on international law. The
league was fixed originally. because it
represented the extreme distance from
shnrn that ., shot ,nr1l ln 4l,--, H.,
one of the old cannon used in coast
defense. and the Russians hold that
the limit should be extended to cor
respond to the increased range ,of
modern ordnance.
The Protocol
The protocol through which the ar
bitration was arranged was prepared
in St. Petersburg by United States
Minister Tower and the Russian for
Pign office. 1t was agreed by the par
ties hat there should be but one ar
bitrator. and the person selected for
that post is Mr.. Asser. a celebrated
