SPRAY OF THE RAPIDS.

The NJ. +. church was again crowded
by representative audience on last
Sunday evening to hear Rev. f. a.
NimitS preach on the ''IntiuenceS OF
the Card table" He made a dis
tinctiOn between playing for amuse-
ment, merely, and gambling and yet
showed that the influences that fol-
lowed in the wake of the amusement
only were evil, rather than helpful.
He declared it to be dissipation and
not recreation as rule. He said it
entailed waste of time, of precious
opportunities, and loss of energy and
especially of spiritual life. He de-
clared it often led to gambling and the
blighting of the most brilliant pros
poets. He said cards as means of
amusement. were often found in en-
vironmentS of the lowest character.
He backed his statements by cOmpe-
tent authority, both ministerial and
lay and furnished much proof by
illustrations taken from real life.
The conclusion arrived at was, that
those wishing to be helpful to their
fellows would better let cards alone.
He announced that on next Sunday
evening he will preach on ''The Moral
Influence of the Theatre" He will
offer as evidence the statements of
actors themselves together with the
opinions of others competent to Judge.

triebs). The foreman was found guilty
in the lower court.
The case was appealed to he federal
court and the defense made the point
that the foreman had only impaired
his own invention to others; that the
same was his intellectual property.
The federal court dismissed the appeal
on the follosfing grounds:
The foreman was employed as such
by the firm. and therefore it was his
duty to try experiments by which the
methods of work could be improved.
His achievement in inventing the
substance was therefore only Il part
of the services which he owed to his
employers. The invention belonged to
his employers, and therefore the ac-
ton of the foreman in. imparting the
secret to outsiders was in violation of
the law referred to. Only an employee
is intrusted with experiments which
may lead to such inventions. 4 stran-
ger, whose labor does not belong to
the establishment. is excluded from
such experiments. The foreman was
admitted to the experiments only on
account of his employment by the
firm. and it followed that the inven-
ton in question was made by him in
consequence of his employment by the
firm, for which he was paid.

GOOD ROADS PROBLEM.
1t May Find Its solution in Manner
Surprising and Certainly I'm
looked For.

The good roads problem, n subject of
interest to almost every man, woman
and child in the whole country, seems
to be about to find solution in man
ner that is certainly surprising and un-
looked for. And, as is usually the case
with such discoveries, it was accidental.
1t has been found that if a road be grad
ed up and put in good shape to shed
water and then have liberal applica
ton of oil made to it, that il will soon
pack solid and remain so, not becoming
either muddy in wet weather or dusty
in dry. As the kind of oil hat is used,
crude petroleum., costs only four dol
lars per barrel. it is estimated that Il
mile of road 25 feet in width can be
treated for less than $500. Compared
with matchmaking or any other we'll
known method heretofore in vogue,
this cost is u mere bagatelle. and if
the oil makes and keeps the road as
good as is claimed, and lasts as long as
it is said to do, this will certainly prove
the most inexpensive way to improve
roads.
But this is not all. Everyone knows
that good, dry, dustless road of earth
is far the best in every respect to drive
on. 1t is pleasant for the driver. better
for the vehicle and infinitely better for
the team. AS the oil treatment has not
been extensively tried, it is not def
nitely known whether it will do well
on all kinds of dirt roads, but it cost S
so little TO test the matter that the
road supervisors in every county ought
+ Ito make an experiment on different
kinds of earths to find out the facts.
If all is true that is claimed, this is the
greatest discovery ever made in road
making, sad makes good roads posi-
bic everywhere. The application of the
oil is merely a vigorous sprnkling. and
il is therefore easy to make trial.

COOPERATION PAYS.
Michigan Farmer Explains How One
Road in His State Was Perma-
nently Improved.

One of the disadvantages under
which our farmers are laboring is poor
roads. This being sandy country,
there is scarcely a time during any
part of the year that our roads are
good. Something like five years ago,
about % farmers came together and
offered to haul mari one day free it
the township would allow them to take
the mari from it's bed. The township
was willing, and about 20 men volun-
teered to shovel and level the mari. and
so the first half mile was laid. That
road proved such a success that the
next year another half mile was put
down. This mari packed down so hard
and made such excellent bed for gravel
that the farmers donated S2o5 and la
Dor for about one-quarter mile of gray
ell. This being put on in what was al
Ways wet place it was spread about
eight inches thick. Next year $3.50 was
collected and about one-half mile was
put down, spreading this only abou,
four inches. This year only $500 was
collected, but a quarter-mile strip was
put down, finishing the mile started
five years before. Besides this about
a half mile of mari was put down ready
for gravel next fall.
This method of making a road is a
good one, for if the mari is once packed
down and if gravel is then added the
resulting roadbed is as hard as
macadam. Next year the township
Will try to raise 5000 for gravel if the
farmers will pledge their labor toward
getting it down, and now about Il year
before it is needed thrce-fourths of the
labor is promised. This shows what
farmers can do if their town is too
poor to make good roads. This is tn"
sort of cooperation that pays.-Michi
gan Letter, in Orange Judd Farmer.
