contest before the committee on cree
dentials which is in part as follows:
Amos Bright, one Of the Bra1ton
regulars, in answer to skidmore, sall
that the motion to adjourn had been
withdrawn, consequently, the motion to
instruct was regular. Mr. skldmore
admitted the truth Of Mr.. Bright's as
sertion.
chairman Brady-Do you controvert
the conventions privilege to instruct?
"Mr. skIdmore-No; II it was an item

A Narrow View.

One Of the great obstacles in the
way of road Improvement is the mar
row view taken of the question by so
many citizens of this country. They
have been accustomed to think of
roads merely as incidental to statute
labor; and statute labor they consider
as a means whereby each can get a
little work done in front of his own
farm which will be Of direct personal
advantage.
They overlook the public good.
But public good is merely individual
benefit conferred on every citizen.
Money and labor spent on the roads
of the township will enhance the value
of every farm by increasing the de-
mand for farm land; it will increase
the profits of the farm by reducing
the expenses OF the farm. The dairy
ing industry would be immensely ben
ehted by good roads, fruit growing
would become more remunerative; sale
wonld be obtained for products which
now are not grown because the mar
ket cannot be reached easily and
quickly.

Mis-. U. S. ontwIts the sult,n.

The other day a pretty American
girl, smartly dressed and smart
enough to boot, arrived in ConstaD
tinople on board the Auguste Victoria.
She had not been long in the city be-
fore she did that for which many q
dutiful subject of the Sublime Porte
has lost his head in times not fan
past. Like other visitors, she went
to see the Sultan go to worship in the
Mosque on Friday. Finding that
from her carriage she could obtain
but poor glimpse of the procession,
she promptly climbed tree, and
thence obtained an excellent view Of
the proceedings. Her camera came
into use, and the result was an ex-
cellent set OF views of the Mosque
and the Sultan riding up to the great
door. She was imm edIately spotted
by policeman on the lookout for
such deadly weapons as cameras. He
imme ediately ordered her down. ex.
planning that tree climbing and
cameras are 'yassak." As this dread
word seemed to have no effect on the
young lady the policeman tried to ex-
plain, and the crowd tried to help
him. In the middle of the dispute
the Sultan rode up along with his
brilliant staff and five thousand
picked soldiers. After fruitless ex-
postulation the glittering monarch
and his discounted soldiers rode away,
swearing by the prophet that the
American girl must be an emissary OF
Eblis. 1t is not often that the Sultan
is thwartel in this manner. Con

HOUSEHOLD MATTERS.
How to Ebonize.

If you would like TO convert plain
deal table, or any other similar article
into thing of beauty, try what ebon-
izing it will do. First Ofall, you must
clean the wood and rub il down with
sandpaper. Then sponge it with a
pint of water to which you have added
teaspoonful of vitrol. When dry,
rub it down with sandpaper once
more. It is then ready for the ebon-
izing solution, which is made as fol-
lows: Boil half pound of logwood
chips in three quarts of water using
any old iron saucepan) until the liquid
has been reduced to one-third. Then
throw in handful of walnut peelings.
Continue to boil gently until the liquid
is about half it's original bulk, and,
lastly, add one pink of vinegar. Now
take brush or sponge and apply a
good even coat of the mixture while
still hot. When the surface is nearly,
but not quite dry, apply ano ther coat,
and then third. When the third
coat is nearly dry, lay on a decoction
of one ounce green copperas dissolved
in a pint Of boiling water. A beauti-
ful black will be the result.

DraInage ls lhe seeret OF sueee...

Now, what was the simple secret
taught to those roadmakers who built
the early highways that are still in
good condition? 1t was merely to
drain the roads, and keep the roads
drained by keeping the bitches open.
The old method was to run a plow
through the side bitches and throw
the disturbed soil, sod and all, in the
middle of the road. There it would
stay till a heavy rain came to wash
this soil back into the bitches, and
fill them up again. If there were
money enough this kind of thing
would be done over and over again, as
often as four times in year.
Where there were wet spots, broken
stone or gravel would be placed in the
road and left for the passing wagons
to wear this metal into ruts. The
money spent was absolutely thrown
away.
By the new process all the road
mender needs to do is to provide
bitches and outlets for them, and
then so shape the road that the water
falling in a rainstorm will run off at
once into the bitches. The water
must not be suffered to run in the
road, but of the road. The rainfall,
being thus simply and effectively dis
posed of, becomes a most beneficial
instead of destructive agent; it
cleans, and shapes, and hardens the
roadway, instead of washing it away
and deepening the ruts. When there
are wet places, such as springs, in
the roadway, gravel and broken stone
will not cure such things. The water
must be drained off underneath the
roadway and into the bitches by means
of pipe or blind drains. The whole
thing is so simple that any one can
easily master the principles and put
the details into practical operation. -

The way the Wind blew.

At Newton the other day a mans
five-dollar bill was blown out of his
hand, and he could find it nowhere.
A friend cut piece of paper just to
the size of the bill and liberated it at
the place where the man had lost his
money. The paper blew down the
street and around into an alley, and
there the man found the fve-doIlar
bill. 1t was reasoning from cause TO
eject, but it reminds one OF the boy
hood trick of shooting an arrow after
one that had been lost. Kansas City

GOOD ROADS NOTES
A Suggestion in Road Building.

A Suggestion i'm Road Building.
~ PLENDID educational work
~ is being done by the Depart
V ment of Agriculture OF the
Federal Government for the
improvement of road construction in
the United States. The plan has
been to study out the question of
what constitutes a good road and why
good roads are needed and then pro-
ceed to spread the information among
the people. Pamphlets are issued
and object lessons in road building
are given annually in every State in
the Union. A small stretch of excel
lent roadway is constructed simply for
the purpose of showing how the work
should be done and demonstrating its
value. These object lessons in road
building were begun in 1894 and have
done much to stimulate interest in
the good roads movement.
The latest feature of this work is
the advocacy by the Government of
the construction of steel-track wagon
ROADS, something quite new IN high
way construction. An illustrated
description of the new road appears
In the current number of Pearson's
Magazine. The plan is to lay two
wide steel rails on ordinary highways.
The road as thus constructed consists
of two parallel lines of steel plates or
rails, each eight inches wide, laid at
a sufficient distance apart to receive
the wheels of all vehicles of standard
gauge. The steel plates or rails have
a slight hange on each side, which is
deemed sufficient, to prevent the
wagon wheels from leaving the tracks
easily, while not interfering with
turning out when the driver desires
to do so in order to pass another
team or for any other purpose. If
one imagines to himself a street-car
track with the depression on the rail
that accommodates the wagon wheel
eight inches wide, and the rails set
at such distance apart as to receive
both wheels of the ordinary vehicle,
he will have a very good idea of the
road in question. 1t goes without
saying that on a road constructed in
this manner very large loads can be
hauled with great ease. Government
experiments showed that one horse
could draw on steel-track road the
same load for which it was necessary
to use twenty-five horses on the ordi-
nary road The track of the steel
track road also furnishes a most ex-
cellent bicycle path.
The cost of construction OF this
kind of road is given as SO, 500 mile
whero the condition OF the road to be-
gin with is very poor. Where traffic
is heavy the economy of such a road
ought to Offset the expense of con-
struction many times. Chicago Rec
ord.

New View of Ghosts.

A cottage woman was speaking to
me the other day about the terrible
losses Of our troops in South Africa.
She said: "Eh, but 1 shouldn't like to
live over there when it's all done. The
place'll be fair wick wi ghosts" When
L expressed my doubts as to there be-
ing such things as ghosts, she said
she knew there were, for she chad
seen { many" Pressed further, she
said that at any rate people who come
to violent end, and especially those
who commit suicide, certainly ''walk"
till "their time comes" BY this she
meant until such time as they would
have died in the course of nature.
This limiting of a ghosts time to
walk" is new to me. Is it held at
all generally, y,-Notes and Queries.

Household Knowledge of Food.

In planning for variety in the daily
bill of fare, the housewife should not
only make a choice of that which will
prove appetizing, but of that which
gives strength to all the different parts
of the body. Many housewives seem
to have very little understanding Of
the daily catering from this stand
point, yet it is not difficult matter
to keep in mind list of foods that
will minister to the various require
ments of the body, if the matter is
given little study.
That part of our food which best
supplies muscular waste is termed
nitrogenous, that which is heating
and fat-forming, carbonaceous; while
the brain-forming is phosphate.
Among vegetable foods and cereals,
oats supplies the largest proportion of
muscle-forming food; beans supply
twenty five per cent. of the muscle
forming principle. while peas supply
twenty. y.three and four-tenths parts;
apples supply five parts; eggs supply
sixteen per cent. of muscle-giving
food; oysters ten parts; fish give
about fourteen per cent. of muscle
giving food; oysters ten parts; fish
give about fourteen per cent. of
muscle-forming flood; chicken sup
plies twenty parts; beef fat and lean,
about fifteen per cent. of muscle form
ing food; veal, ten and fve-tenths;
mutton, twelve and fve-tenths; pork,
ten parts of muscle food.
This is information every house
keeper should possess and every IAeal
should be served with a variety of
food that will give heat, muscle and
brain food to the body.
Another point to be understood, es-
pecially when there is one or more in
the family who suffers from that COM
mon Neutrality-suspicious. the selection
of variety of food that is easily di-
gested. The length Of time required
to digest various articles of food differ
very considerably, and it should be
remembered that the longer the pro-
cess is going on the greater the de-
mand of the digestive powers, and
consequently the weaker the stomach
becomes. The question then to be
considered is what food will most
readily digest in the shortest length
of time, thus causing the system to
remain vigorous by being properly
ourished and never overtaxed.

France Ahead of Us.

Vice President George f. Chamber
lin, of the Automobile Club, has issued
statement that in the matter of good
roads this country was a hundred
years behind France. The 1900 labor
and trades unions take the deepest
interest in the building of good roads
on large scale because of the work
it would furnish to tens of thousands
of men and those dependent upon
them.
1t is intended that the roads to be
built shall answer the needs Of the
farming population and of foot pas
sengers, bicyclists and automobilistsa as
well. The men interested in this
movement claim that united demand
i'll this direction made by the interests
mentioned and backed by a public
opinion enlightened on this subject is
very likely to be needed. New York
Journal.

conservative farmers, who objected
not only to the cost they expected it
would impose upon them, but to the
uselessness of the road. Perhaps it
would do for light driving, they said.
but it would Dever do for heavy team
ing. 1t would be ruinous to their
horses feet. If it were built no
self-respecting farmer would even
think of using it. Well, it was built.
and in a short time thereafter the av.
erage farmer with heavy loads to cart
would go a considerable distance out
of his way for the sake of getting
upon it. Doubtless, precisely the
same thing has occurred in the case
of many other improved roads in
other parts of the country. OF course
such change of opinion is to be com
mended as sane recognition OF the
benefits Of improved roads"
