Ii is frequently claimed that roads
III the United States, instead of getting
better, are constantly getting worse,
and when the reason is asked the ex-
PLANTATION is made that the damage
done to existing highways by the use
OF narrow ties is far greater than the
improvement made by the semi-annual
effort at fixing the roads.
Without entering into a discussion
OF this, there is no denying that a
heavily loaded wagon with narrow
tires leaves its tracks on the highway,
and the depth of these tracks depends
upon the character of material of
which the road is built, the width Of
the tires and the weight of the load.
Whenever loaded wagon becomes
stuck it is due to the fact that the road
is too soft and the tires too narrow for
the load on the wheels. Water and mar
row tires are the two causes which
contribute TO ruin the best roads. They
aid each other in the work of con-
aid each other in the work of destruc-
ton. The rut formed by a passing
wagon forms trough for the rain,
which, instead of running off to the
side, as it would do on hard, smooth
surface, sinks into the ground. The
next wagon, finding the ground soft
ered, digs its wheels deeper into the
surface, and so the decentralization and
destruction continues.
This suggests one of the strongest
arguments in favor of the use of
wide tires. Wide tires are road MAX
ers; narrow tires are road destroyers.
Wide tires roll and harden the road
surface, and by their use every loaded
wagon can be turned into an effective
road roller. Every wagon which to-
day helps to cut up the roads could be
utilized for their improvement, for
nothing so much tends to the making
of good roads as continual rolling of
thcs urface.-The Market Basket.

GIRLS WHO WEAR CROWNS.
The Beautiful But Melancholy Aiix
and the Guy and Frolicsome
WiIheImina.

The evident beauty of the Russian
empress face is so overshadowed by an
expression of patient, pathetic melan-
choly that she arouses sympathy and
curiosity in every one. Undoubtedly
the czarina is not happy woman. Rus
sian expresses have little enough to
inspire content, and this pale, pretty
creature, with the sad eyes and mouth,
endures daily such tests of her physical
strength and moral courage as few
American women would care or con-
sent, for all the Russian state and
power, to undergo. Her husband, on
the whole, is kindly young man, who
is considerable, even affectionate, but he
can do very little to mitigate the severe,
even cruel Russian court etiquette to
which she must bow; with her he
shares the daily terror of assassina-
ton, and with his people he laments
the fact that the empress has not yet
given an heir to his throne.
In spite of ner beauty and her vir-
tues, the empress is not loved by the
Russian people nor consulted and con-
fded in by her husband, as herSiother-
in-law, Empress Dagmar, the dowager,
was. She has neither the robust
physique nor the ambitious interests of
the clever dowagcr, and court in
trigues, squabbles and etiquette dis
tress, disgust and fatigue her. 1t is a
fact well known that up to the very day
before her betrothal she resisted the
change of her religion and Christian
name that every Russian empress con-
sort must yield to; again and again she
has tainted at the long receptions, balls
and reviews, through which, in spite of
her illness, she is obliged to stand, and
the only true comfort and solace she
finds in her dreary splendor is the per-
sonal services and attentions she is al
lowed TO lavish on her tiny girls.
In sharp contrast to this sad-faced
empress of the vastest domain in Eu-
rope is the young, pretty queen of the
tiniest, cleanest, freest little kingdom
on that continent. The queen of Hol-
land lives far more like popular, pet
ted young belle of society than a SOW
ereign. While the czarina never puts
her feet out the door without the heav-
lest guard, Queen Wilhelmina goes
shopping, walking, skating and riding
when the within seizes her, with single
attendant, and that often but favorite
lady in waiting. For all her love of
iunketing, dancing and outdoor sports
the Dutch queen is conscientious
worker, and just now she feels deeply
interested in the international peace
congress that meets on the 18th of May
in one of her palaces, the House-in-the-
Wood, just outside The Hague - st.

Careless weeds are not only nui-
sance on cultivated land, but an in
teresting example of the tendency OF
nature to reroduction under the most
adverse circumstances. These weeds
will com up early in spring, and
with long spring and summer season
in prospect seem to be in no particu-
lar hurry about seed making. They
grow rapidly, and in few weeks are
knee high, and a little later waist high,
and after Laying along in this way for
ter TO IA weeks, bloom and slowly pro-
coed to the development of seed. Re-
fore this time they should be cut down
ielentlessly: but no sooner is this done
than "A second crop appears, and with
less time before them the plants begin
to blossom in half the time and at one
fourth the size of the earlier crop. De-
stroy these and other crops and it will
be found that each successive growth
cones to maturity sooner than the
preceding one; and when so late that
frost is imminent and time short, the
whole energy of the plant is devoted to
the propagation of its species; stalk
growth is neglected and seed head is
often all that appears above ground
Very late in the season we have known
plants to break through the crust of
earth and bloom within four days and
mature seed in eight days. Then how
are we to kill them out? The best way
we know is to turn hogs on them, and
tEen they will make pork instead OF
seed.-Farm and Ranch.

BRAVE YOUNG WOMAN.
She Got Away with the Oysters but
Not In the Usual MAN.
ner.

A young girl from the state of Washing
ton who came east to visit a western sen.
itor's family last winter, had an experience
she hasn't forgotten yet. The first few days
Of her stay in the capital were spent there,
and her meals were sent to her room. On
the very first evening she ordered oysters
for dinner Now, she knew nothing of a
real, fe'sized oyster, having spent all her
days on the Pacific coast, where oysters are
not oysters at all, but something altogether
different. She was young and exceedingly
inexperienced, and she said to the waiter:
Bring me so oysters"
The waiter gasped.
is that all?' he said.
"Oh, no, she answered, cheerfully Bring
Newell, dinner, too.
She says herself that she had to shut her
eyelids tight to keep her eyes from pop
ping clear out of her head when she saw the
so oysters.
Isn't that more than 5OY' she asked.
"No, miss" answered the waiter. "Shall
l take some away" and he grinned. 1t
was the grin that did it. Her western
blood rose at it,
NO" she said, coolly. ITS not too
many. I'm hungry"
She locked the door after the astonished
waiter, and opened the window. 1t was a
dark night, but she could see the roofs Of
the adjoining houses almost within arms
reach beneath her window. Only narrow
alley separated the buildings. She took a
fork, and deity and dexterously, one by
one, she flung the oysters as far as she could.
She could hear them fall MOSTLY, softly, fab.
billy upon the roof opposite, When the
waiter returned, two oysters lay on her
plate. His eyes rolled wonderingly at her.
',Was-,was the oysters good?" he asked,
and he did not grin.
Fairly good,' she made answer, calmly;
"but | wasn't really hungry, after all."-

The Case in n Nutshell.

Alabastine is permanent coating
for walls and ceilings, designed TO take
the place of kalsomines and wall pa
per. Alabastine sets with the wall. 1t
is practically stone cement, as hard
and smooth as paint, but much less ex-
pensive, and is applied just as easily by
anyone. 1t can be mixed with either
cold or hot water, and applied with a
kalsomine brush. II is clean, healthful,
and economical. Every one of the
strong points of Alabastine, proved to
be such by the test of twenty years,
is picked up by every new manufac-
turer of ordinarykalsomine and claimed
for his goods. These claims are alb
surd on their face. Alabastine alone
can prove its durability by the test of
time. IT is sold by paint dealers, in
S-lb. packages, properly labeled.
