A Burlington paper states that in
compliance with the State law the
County Supervisors are preparing
to have signs placed at each and
every road crossing in the county.
The purpose OF the Sign is to +" Direct
the traveller on his way" There will
be one hundred and seventy-six of
them and they will be painted in
large, letters so that he may read as
he runs. After the signs are prop
erly painted they will be turned over
to the Trustees of the several town
ships, who are supposed to attend
to the matter of having them locat-
ed and set. This arrangement
should be adopted at once in Audi
bon county, as it will not only be
complying with the law but will be
a great advantage to people travel
ing over the country and will tacili-
tate travel greatly. The item of ex-
pense would not be great.

RED-HAIRED GIRLS.

The geographical distribution of red
headed girls is, fortunately, wide. They
can be found in every inhabited quar-
ter of the world.
The so-called dark races are fire.
quently glOrjfied by glowing locks The
Spaniards are swarthy as a race, but
the pureSt-blooded Castillians frequent
ly show traces of their Visigothic blood
by blue eyes and red hair. The Infanta
Eulalie, who visited this country in
1898, is red-headed.
Red haired Italians are fairly numer-
Gus in Italy. They are most numerous
in the northern provinces, where there
is the greatest infusion of German
blood.
And there is no girl in the world
prettier than red-haired Italian or
Spaniard, except it be a red-haired
American.
In Irel8 a red-haired girl is made
miserable y being called a Dane. -
This epithet is a legacy of a thousand
years or more-from the time when the
Danes did override the coasts of
Britain.
In similar manner the NorSemen
who invaded Sicily centuries ago and
intermarried with the inhabitants, left
descendants with cleaning brain
thatches.
The Turks are a light-haired blue
eyed race and their children are every
where scattered about Asia and North
ern Africa
And where there aren't any red
haired girls by nature-as among the
Moors and Arabs-the glowing locks
are commonest of all. The women all
dye their ietty tresses to a most lovely
red with henna.

feel inclined to do.
Therefore, avoid talking over domes-

THE ART OF HANGING A HAM.
MOCK.
You Can Make Trapeze Frame From
Which the Swing Will Hang in
Hygienic Shape.

Do you know how to hang a ham
mock? 1t is something of an art. In
the first place the hips must be nearer
the floor than either feet or head. The
head must not be too for below the feet,
nor the feet low enough to destroy the
perfect balance. Head and foot of the
hammock should be fastened at an
equal elevation from the ground, far
apart or near together, to suit the in
dividual taste of the occupant.
The trapeze attachment has sup
planted the old tree and-rope method of
hanging a hamTNck. Even the ring
bolt in the wall bias fair to vanish. The
trapeze allows the adjustment of the
hammock to whateH4ar angle or degree
of tautness the occuhant desires-from
a full length couch to an easy chair.

THE CLOUDS OF. GOD.


(Robert Clarkson Tongue, in Youth
Companion.)
The city is full of labor
And struggle and strife and care.
The fever-pulse of the city
Is throbbing in all the air.
But calm through the sunlit spaces
And calm through the starlit sky,
Forever over the city
The clouds Of God go by.
The city is full of passion
And shame and anger and sin,
OF hearts that are dark with evil,
OF souls that are black within;
But white as the robes of angels
And pure through the wind-swept sky
Forever over the city
The clouds of God go by.
The city is full of sorrow.
And tears that are shed in vain;
BY day and by night there rises
The voice of it's grief and pain.
But soft as a benediction
They bend from the vault on high,
And over the sorrowful city
The clouds Of God so by.
o eyes that are old with vigil
o hearts that are dim with tears!
Look up from the path of sorrow
That measures itself in years,
And read in the blue above YOU
The peace that is every nigh,
While over the troubled city
The clouds of God go by.

Everybody wants to talk to her and

attracted to her without effort on her

are delighted at the cheerfulness and
