Advantages of Street-PayinG in
Small Cities.

The industrial and social effects OF
paving city are Of great importance.
Paving the streets to some extent re-
,luces the price of the material hauled
over them. On 4 well-pavcd street the
traction may be perhaps but one-slN-
teenth Of that on dirt road, and in
case Of bulky material, such as coal,
where the cost Of local delivery Is a
considerable item, the saving due 10
tie larger loads which may be haulel
is reflected in the retail price. 1t is,
however, from a sanitary point of view
that paved streets are most desirable
Smooth, clean streets are almost neces-
Fary to the health of a community. The
prevention OF the accumulation of filth
and the corresponding decrease in dis
ease is one Of the chief benefits Of pay
ing. When city is paved with brick
and its sewers are laid with the same
material the streets mag be cleaned
with a stream Of water from a fire hose
pavement or sewers, \ small gang Of
men may thus clean a large area in
short time. Attractive streets serve to
draw trade, and Of two similarly situat-
cd towns, one paved and the other M
paved, the former Will have the advan-
tage. Well-paved streets stimulate
municipal interests and civic pride.
When the people have paid for having
their streets put IN good condition they
feel an interest in keeping them so.
Franchises for street railroads or for
any enterprise requiring the tearing up
Of the streets are scrutiuiZed with
greater care, and almost invariably Il
provision is inserted prescribing that
the corporation using the street shall
help ray for the paving. III Iowa, for
example, street railroads pay for paw
ing strip seven feet wide. This is an
important aid in fixing the principle OF
compensation for public franchises.
The impetus given to the social life Of
q town By the paving of its streets is
marked The people 20 about more
and become better acquainted. The
clean, smooth streets tempt the pedcs-
trian, the bicyclIst, and the driver
alike. They make it possible to hold
carnivals and similar outdoor festivities.

BLIND FARMER IN VERMONT.
Successfully Tiils tho Soil Though Sight
less for Years.

Successfully Tiils tho Soil Though Sight
less for Years.
From the New York Tines: La
fayette Stearns of ISItland, VT, Is I
man who has mastered one Of the most
trying of physical infTmities and made
his life useful when others would have
given way in despair. Mr.. Stearns Is
a farmer, 70 years Old, who, though
blind for eighteen years, has during all
but two of those years carried on the
cultivation of ten acres Of land For
two years after he became blind Mr.
Stearns was obliged to lay aside all
labor, though brawny and physically as
able and anxious TO work as ever.
During this period he tried many times
to plant portions of his garden by
kneeling and trying to perfect meas
urements with his implements. One
morning the idea came to him that he
would take two stakes and string,
and suspending the latter from the
stakes could construct a satisfactory
guide. Me. Stealns set the stakes for
the first row to be planted across the
garden. With this assistance he
planted his first acre, setting the stokes
over for each new row, obtaining meas
urements with the short hoe handle
which he carried, while on his Bonded
knees he opened the hill, planted the
seed and covered it over. Before he
could DO much gardening he earned
money churning for neighbors. In this
way he earned enough to purchase
covering for the addition to his house,
and afterward built he staging him
self and laid half the covering. MI.
Stearns mows, rakes and prepares
enough hay to keep three COWS and
horse. For moving, the stakes are set
at the outer edge of the field by Mrs.
Stearns, with the string suspended at
such a height that with each swing or
the sCythe the blind mans forearm
just touches it. When he has moved
a swath across the field he sets the
stakes over the width CT 4 sWath.
which he measures with his scythe;
then, guided by the string, he makes
his way back across the field. In this
way. when once started, he mows an
entire meadow, and the neighbors al
lege that even at 20 years of age he is
a brisk man to follow with scythe
Working entirely on this principle, the
blind farmer plants. hoes, weeds and
| harvests all kinds of farm products.

Work of Making Ready.

Better progress has been made in the
preparati0ns for tie Greater America
Exposition, which will open in Omaha,
July 1st, and continue four months,
than has ever marked the building of
such an enormous enterprise. Little
trouble has been experienced in secur-
ing a better and more interesting class
of exhibits than has ever been prom
Used any exposition except the Worlds
Fair at Chicago. Over 100000 square
feet of space has been contracted for
and many applications are still coming
i'll. Over 800 firms and establishments
are represented on the space already
allotted, over TWENTY-FIVE of them pre-
senting live exhibits or factories in ac
tive operation. Some of the more pre-
temtious exhibits are now being placed
and June will be busy month with
the work OF installation. Hundreds of
men are now al work daily upon the
grounds, preparing the elaborate floral
and electrical decorations, Frightening
up the buildings and statuary and pre-
pairing for the placing of exhibits and
concessions Every day brings new as
surances that the people are interested
III the prospects OF the Exposition ard
letters and newspapers received lndl-
cate that thew are coming generally
from near and far. Thousands who
were il Omaha last year have written
that they are coming again, and thous-
andS who missed the great show last
wear have realized what they missed
and express a determination to attend
this wear. Some difficulty has been en-
countered in securing the proposed eX-
hibit from the Philippine islands, which
may some hat limit its magnitude, but
an instructive and Interesting exhibit Is
assured in any event, including large
party of native Filipinos. lnasmuch as
there are few Americans who have ever
seen a Filipino. or had ever heard of
the name prior to Dewey's great vie
tory at Manila, this feature alone Is
sure to prove of great interest. Ar
engagements have been completed for
the Cuban, Porto Rican and Hawaiian
villages.

A SurSrior Mans Invention.

The Evening Telegram Of q recent
date pives the following description of
the new multi-piston steam engine, the
invention of Mr.. =. c. Peterson, of
the firm of Peterson Brothers, proprl-
etors of The Fair department store.
The engine was given test few days
ago, and several machinists pronounced
it grand success.
''Ihe model tested has very simple
appearance, the exterior only showing
a tivwh heel and governor. The machIn-
erv is contained in a small steel case >
feet long, - feet deep and y inches
wide. But this Is onethird larger than
is necessary for 20 horse power en-
une', saws the inventor, The interior
Of the engine contains two sprocket
wheels over which an endless finely
polished piston chain, with seven pls-
tons attached, passes. The piston5 all
move in the same direction and there is
no possibility Of back pressure or dead
center, and the power is continuous.
the device will use not only the orig
inal pressure Of the steam, but also the
expansive power, and this is something
that has not been accomplished in any
other machine. Mr.. Peterson claims
that the engine will utilize 80 per cent.
Of steam energy applied. The pistons
are interchangeable. Two plstons are
brought into play in each cylinder sim
uLtaneously, one forming the cylinder
head and the other forming the motive
power. 4 neat contrlyance on each
piston consists Of an air chamber in one
which the projection on the other pls-
ton fits into, and the pistUns are thus
kept from coming into contact and also
leaving chamber for direct steam
pressure upon the motive piston.
Mr.. Peterson has patent rights in all
the larger countries and 4 Stock COM
pany will be formed for the manutac
ture Of the engines i'll Superior il the
necessary capital can be obtained.

sosyni,t Cecil Rhodes Rules.
British South Africa is sadly in need
of wives, according to late accounts
from that land of diamond mines and
millionaires. The chartered company
of which Cecil Rhodes is the head has
for wears frowned on the idea of mar
rage among its mounted police. civil
servants and other employees. This
objection has amounted to practical
prohibition, and is we'll known to have
been the result of Rhodes misogynlst
views, he being a confirmed woman
hater In the past year Or two a
number Of his best men have left the
cumpany's service rather than SUB
scribe to Sir Cecil's peculiar notions
to the extent of remaining single for
life The result has been that other
leading members OF the chartered
company have taken the matter up.
They pointed out that unless reVer-
sal of policy were manifested thl--gs
would soon assume serious aspect,
as important affairs would be left Il
the hands of the least reliable or the
company's servants. Sir Cecil gave
the matter due consideration, and,
finding that the protest had 2ost sub
stantial grounds, has surrendered.
Accordingly an edict has gone forth
among the chartered cOmpany'S OH
Gals promising that preference in pro
motion will be given to married men,
and advising all those who can do SO
TO enter forthwith into the bonds OF
matrimOny.
