FRIEND OF THE BOERS
OLIVE SCHREINER is ACTIVE
IN THEIR BEHALF.
Wants the Tyranny of Britain Clearly
Understood - Sketch of Peculiar
Woman's Life-From South African
Farm to Merited Fame.

One of the most peculiar OF con-
temporary writers is Olive Schreiner,
who suddenly leaped into great popu-
larity over ten years ago by her strong
romance, "rhe Story of an African
Farm" Since then she has never pro-
duced another sustained bit of i'm
aginative worB Dat in several smaller
books she has shown creative power
OF rare kind. Her father was a Ger
man missionary and hsr mother an
English woman, and all her girlhood
she spent at remote station in Cape
Colony. This lonesome life she has
reproduced with startling fidelity in
her book, which was a powerful pro-
test against the worlds failure to per-
nit a girl to enjoy the same training
as boy. Her sketches of Boer life
were as graphic as Rider Haggard's in
Jess" or Swallow" Olive Schreiner

1t is the intention of many States be-
sides Massachusetts,, either by con-
Meeting their detached sample roads
OR by laying down long lines to be
built as whole, to establish State
roads upon the principal routes of
travel, which shall be object lessons
on large scale. The Legislature of
New York has frequently had under
consideration the subject of network
of roads connecting all of the county
seats by north aud south and by east
and west lines. The same or similar
plans have 0een proposed in Pennsyl-
vania, Maryland and California.
Other States have proposed to limit
these object lessons to single road
running lengthwise of the State or
two lines crossing each other at the
capital. Should these plans be put
into execution, it will be very impor-
tant that these roads in the different
States should be made to connect at
the State lines ana thus form inter.
state roads,

BRIDGE MADE OF BAMBOO,
Yankee Ingenuity Quickly Conquered a
Philippine Stream.

Yankee Ingenuity Quickly Conquered
Philippine Stream.
Major B. f. Cheatham, of the First
Tennessee Volunteers, sends to the
Engineering News, from Molo, Philip
! pine Islands, very interesting ac-
count of a floating bridge constructed
by the American army in the Island of
! Panay, which possesses some unusual
features. He says: The Iloilo River
at Molo is 800 feet wide, twenty feet
deep, and has a difference in eleva-
ton at high and low tide OF three and
a half feet. The orders were to "build
bridge sufficiently strong for in
fantry and light artillery to cross; to
build it quickly and cheaply." As
there was no other material available
it was decided to use bamboo exclu-
sively, and in the entire structure
nothing else was used-not even a
nail or piece of wire. Long pieces of
bamboo were assembled in bundles of
fifteen and tightly bound with rattan.
These bundles supplied the buoyancy
for the bridge, and were placed ten
feet apart, parallel to the current.
They were held in this position by
four strlngers, which were securely
lashed to the bundles so as to form
foundation for the roadway, ten feet
wide. On these stringers were placed
small bamboo, cut ten feet long, each
piece being tied to the stringers by the
Invaluable rattan. Over these poles
were laid rough mating woven from
split bamboo, which made an even
surface strong enough to support o
horse.
A sufficient quantity of bamboo was
not on hand at the start, and the work
was delayed somewhat in consequence,
but the bridge was completed in four
days by ten native workmen. The
total cost for material and labor was
1925. The banks at the place selected
were one and a half feet higher than
the water at high tide. In order to
allow carts to cross at all times, aprons
were made of bamboo, one end fast.
ened to the bank and the other al.
lowed to slip along two pieces OF
plank, placed on the bridge for that
purpose. The bridge was guyed SO
as to allow it to rise and fall with the
tide.
The success of this bridge would
seem to solve problem here, and our
experience shows conclusively that
with plenty of bamboo on hand regi-
ment can cross any river here in four
hours time.

One County's Experience.

Mecklenburg County, North Caro-
lima, not long ago began the con-
struction of a system of macadam
roads. 1t was customary there to
load up two bales of cotton on a
wagon to be hauled by mule team.
The mules could draw this load verv
well during dry weather. After a
rain, when the roads were soft, the
load was too much for even pair of
tough mules. After the county had
begun to build roads this load was
doubled several times, AID it was
found that the same two mules were
able to haul as much as twelve bales,
or six tong, in place of their former
load, which amounted to only single
ton. And more--the improved roads
made it possible to haul this load in
wet and dry weather alike, for, being
properly built of stone, they were fit
for use Immediately after heavy
rain

The great cucumber district, en-
bracing hundreds of acres southeast of
Benton Harbor, Mich, with an annual
output of over 100000 bushels, has
been destroyed in the last two weeks
by foreign red bug. The new pest.
although much smaller, belongs to the
lady bug family. One of the leading
cucumber growers today said about
three weeks ago the vines, which were
in fine condition, as well as the fast
maturing cucumbers, were discovered
to contain hundreds of small eggs,
which the warm weather soon Matched
out, producing the unknown bugs,
which soon destroyed the vines. The
total loss throughout the district is
estimated at 100000"

One of the strongest forces behind
the development of the horseless We.
hicle has been the public demand for
good country roads. 1t is believed
that when the people fully realize the
utilitarian value of the automobile as
a conveyance in cities and for inter.
urban transit the good roads will have
TO come. The perfection of the auto.
mobile therefore means a great deal to
the farmers. The cross country lines
that are established between cities
will demand smooth highways and
they will not destroy them after they
are built.

Cartoons Drawn by Rnssia's Empress.
In an illustrated life story of the
Empress of Russia in the Young
Woman, we are told that the Czarina
speaks five languages, and that riding,
painting, rowing, sketching, swim
ming and tennis ere among her recrea-
tions. But one of her favorite amuse-
ments is in drawing caricatures.
Freed from the fear of the censor, she
indulGes with her pen and pencil in
way which makes even Russian Min.
ters tremble, drawing them in carica-
turs, which would mean death or
Siberia to any other artist. She has
drawn The Czar himself-a solemn,
bearded, but bald infant in long
clothes, tied in an armchair and sur.
rounded by host of grand dukes
and grand duchesses armed with feed
ing bottles, all insisting on feeding
him in different way. No wonder

In surrogate's case an order had been
issued for the arrest of two executors
on the ground that they had failed to
turn over certain moneys as directed
by the court. One of these executors
did comply with the order of the court,
but, nevertheless, was arrested and
locked up. His counsel appeared be-
fore one of the country judges sent
down to this section temporarily, and
applied for writ of habeas corpus.
Whereupon the judge made the re-
markaple decision that a Supreme
court Judge could not grant the writ
called for; that the Supreme court
could not interfere with a case under
the jurisdiction of a surrogate. And
SO the poor prisoner had to sweat in
Jail because this countryman did not
know the law. That ruling made every
lawyer in the courtroom gasp for
breath. .'-Brooklyn Eagle.

Women and Buzzard's Feathers.

In the use of the long quill feathers
now so much in demand for women s
hats, those of the eagle are especially
desired. Those of either wing or tail
are used, and it is not uncommon to
see woman passing along the street
bearing on her hat the single tail
feather of war eagle, much as the
Indian warrior of old times used to
tie an eagles feather in his head.
However, the supply of eagles does
not at all equal the demand for these
quilts and almost any long feathers
are used. Among these are the prim-
aries and tail feathers of the turkey
buzzard, bird which, as Mr.. Lucas
has pointed out, has hitherto been lit
tie pursued to satisfy the whims of
fashion. We may wonder how long
this demand will keep up, and whether
it will result in the determination or
marked decrease in the numbers of
buzzards. The use of the feathers of
this malodorous and notorious fowl on
the heads of women who are endeavor-
ing to be fashionably important is not
without its humorous side. Forest

Fighting Bob Bowling, the warlike

trying a case in which a party was
attempting to recover $40 for the

The case was nearly through, the

We may say that it doesn't cost the
farmer anything to market his crops,
because he does all the hauling him
self. True, but isn't his time worth
something? Suppose that in place of
every ton of wheat or hay or potatoes
loaded on his wagon he was able, as a
result of good roads, to load up two
tons, and to market the entire crop of
his farm with just half the labor and
in just half the time which is required

But it is different in the courts. You've

second-class country judge who comes
to the city to make a show of his I'M

A Possible Dilemma,

A judge of the old school, loving port
wine and hating trouble, is said to
have once summed up very compli-
Gated case in the following terms.
You have all heard the evidence; YOU
have also heard what the learned coun-
sci have said. If you believe what the
counsel for the plaintiff has told You
your verdict will be for the plaintiff
but, if, on the other hand, you believe
what the defendants counsel has told
you, then you will give verdict for
the defendant. But if you are like me.
and don't believe what either of them
has said, then I'll be hanged If l know
what you will do."-Household Words.
