This squirt took the boat to the wreck.
"Ship-p-p oars!"
The young woman was first to be re-
ceived. Willing hands lowered her and
willing hands were held out to take her
into the boat.
"Got her all right?" asked the cap'n.
AYE, aye!" responded the young fell

"Now for the rest of yel" cried the
cap'n to those on the wreck. One by

The life boat was loaded at last, and
slowly, carefully, made its way to land.
There was a big throng Of shore folk
and summer boarders waiting to re-
ceive the boat.
"Why, my dear daughter Alice!" ex-
claimed Father Brigham, as the rescued
young woman stepped out upon the
sands. This is like a return, a rescue,

"And Uncle Peter, fatherl" said
Alice, as the heavy owner Of the yacht
waddled out upon the sands.

In spite Of the constant advance In
mechanical cOntriyanccs there are cer-
tain occupations which must still de-
pend upon handiwork. Such we as
sumo to be the business Of picking up
with the pickax the stones Of a mac
adamized road before fresh metal could
be laid and rolled upon it. But a ma
chine called Kutty's patent macadam
road scarifer may now be seen at work
in London, and possibly elsewhere,
tearing up the street roadway in the
most satisfactory manner. IT is Of the
nature Of plow, the plowshare being
represented by thick spikes Of chilled
iron, which, set at an angle, tear up
the roadway as the machine is dragged
behind steam roller.-Chambers'
Journal.

that are loaded on ears at the factory;
the raw material has first to be hauled
to the factory. But the greatest haul
ing is done in the farming districts and
there it is that good highways are most
needed.
The subject has not been given the
attention and support it deserves, ds
yet, for the simple reason that private
capital cannot become interested in the
building of common roads since there
would be no income from the invest
ment such as there Is In railways.
Municipal. county, state and the ma
tional government have not had the is
sue brought directly before them in its
full significance because it is necessary
to first educate the people to the neces-
stiles of the movement. This is what is
being done by the wheelmen at the
present time, and il must be said TO
their credit that they have enlisted the
sympathy and support of all the prom
inent farmers organizations in the
movement. With the two classes work
ing together it is only a question of
time until the movement will be made
political issue and then will come the
desired Improvements.
The argument offered in favor of the
improved roads is, that they lessen the
cost Of repairs, make it possible to haul
the largest amount of goods with the
smallest animal power, save time and
increase property valuations. No rail-
road company would expect to do busi-
ness if its tracks and roadheds were in
such condition as to make il either i'm
possible to use the tracks at long sea-
sons of the year, or in using them have
to lose a great deal of time and have i'm
mense repairs to make; and yet that is
what the farmers and others using the
common roads are doing in a compare
tive way every day in the year.
They make the most impracticable
attempts at road building and repair
ing, and then wonder why there is no
profit in their products, which have
been hauled over bad roads at the great
est expense II has been estimated that
in the states where the stone roads have
been built the cost of Transports
ton has been decreased to 20 per cent.
of the former figures, and that the
roads pay for themselves within few
wears. 1t has been further shown that
the amount lost in the different ways
mentioned viii more than pay for the
building and repairs of these roads on
the annual assessments made for them,
or that il eVts no more each year to
have good roads than it does to have
bad ones.

hours after il was understood among
the guests that Alice Brigham had
gone off in the yacht Sybil, and might
he absent one day, two days or even

Suddenly in the midst of the lunch
somebody, dressed roughly like fisher

"Whar's the landlord? Vessels

Died-At Sabula. July 21lh. of Dip
iberia. Faye. infant daughter of Mr.
and Mrs. W. j. Coleman, aged ?
years, 9 months and l. days.
She leaves a mother. father. sister
and three brothers 10 cherish her mem
ory. Her illness was of ten days dura-
tion and on Thursday morning as the
sun began TO shed his radiant beams
on the landscape her innocent spirit
sped home TO God. Her suffering was
intense but she remained conscious
until death Shortly before her death
she embraced and kissed her papa and
mamma and then looked heavenward
with an expression that could not be
misunderstood. On account of the
warm weather and nature of the dis
ease, it was thought prudent to have
an early interneBt. AT S o'clock in
the evening the procession started TO
the cemetery. where. under the low
spreading branches OF the trees. amid
flowers, lighted by torch and lantern.
in the still hours of night, the last sad
rites were had aud little Faye is at
rest. A beautiful flower, for which
fond hopes were cherished. has been
plucked from the family circle. A
happy home Is made SAD by the alb
sence OF her sunny face. May the
God of love, who always cares for
those who weep. comfort the hereaved
family! Cousin.

DRESSING BABY.
some Suggestions aS to the Proper
Articles by One Who
knows.

Mothers who have never tried dress
ing babies in short clothes from the
first cannot imagine how rice it is.
will describe an outfit. such as ! have
used for four babies, and which seems
to me as nearly perfect as any that can
be devised. There are three little shirts
of either soft flannel or knitted goods,
which open in front. and lap over 10
allow for growth. These are fastened
with tiny safety pins. \ large, fat,
pearl button is at the waist line On
either side. and in front and back. 10
button the pinning blanket to the shirt.
The pinning blanket is made of three
fcurths of a yard of flannel, with 4
band across the top one foot in length
There are buttonholes in this band 20
fit the buttons on the shirt. There
should be three of these pinning blan-
kets The little bands may be made Of
old sheets. as they are needed for only
two or three weeks. There should be
five or six OF them. and they should
have little darts taken In the lower
edge.
The nightgowns are made of bleached
canton flannel, and are about as long
as a pinning blanket. There should be
seven of these. No other clothes are
needed except, of course, the diapers,
while the mother is in bed. or even
longer than that if the baby belongs
to mother who does not believe in ex-
hibiting it 10 strangers while very
young.
When day clothes are needed. 1 use
the same little shirts, and button a
short piece OF elastic on the lower end
70 fasten the stockings in place. The
petticoat is made like a sack apron,
high in the neck and with long sleeves.
and IS opened far enough down the
back TO admit of its being put on cas-
lily. They are only p inches in length.
In fact. none of the clothes are longer
than that except the pinning blanket
and nightgown. The dresses are most
