MILES FAvoRs GOOD ROADS.
Commander Of the United states
Army illustrates Their Great
importance.

If Gen. Nelson A. Miles had his way
the roads Of the United States would
be equal to those of any country on
the globe. He tells a story of an old
teamster out west who was driving
over very rough road in the Rocky
mountains shortly after the Geronimo
campaign. He had the general for r
passenger. The wagon was an old
prairie schooner, without springs or
cushions, and the general was vainly
attempting to fall asleep; says the Chi
cago Chronicle.
"But there was no sleep for me on
that trip" says Gen. Miles, "for the
old rascal drove over every bowlder
In the road; in fact, he seemed TO be
doing it purposely. Finally l became
interested and began to count the
number Of rocks over which the whe els
Of the wagon passed or which they
struck. Suddenly, to my consterna-
ton, he missed one-a huge bowlder
In the middle Of the roadway.
"'Whoa! Hey!' I cried. Back up!
Back up!'
HE quietly followed my instruc-
tons, seemingto be not at all surprised
by them. When he had his wagon
in tho proper position I said: Now,
drive over that rock, confound you!
It's the only one you've missed
without SO much as glance in my
direction, he replied: Cert, pard.
Never noticed 1t. Amt got chew
about yer?'
II got out and walked the remaining
eight miles"

LIGHTNING KILLS WILD BoARs
Black Forest strsek Together
in Pike COunty.

Five Of six wild boars imported from
the Black Forest in Germany at cost
Of 500 each were lately killed by light
ming at Porter's Lake. Pike county, Pa.
They were brought over by Weissbrod
4 Hess, of Philadelphia and were in
tended for breeding purposes, and it
was proposed to turn their young loose
in the forest. reports the New York
Sun.
The animals had only just arrived
and were still in their boxes, which
were piled under a tree. When the
storm was at its height bolt descend
ed, striking the tree and running down
it to the animals. One in box on top
of the others escaped. but those below
were instantly killed. 1t is said their
places will be supplied by other impor-
tations.
The propagation Of wild boars in this
region is not a new experiment. Some
wears ago Otto Plock. wealthy broker
of New York and London, whose sum-
mer home was on the west side Of the
Shawangunk mountain. not far from
Port Jervis, turned out several wild
boars in his mountain park. For time
they thrived until at last they broke
through the inclosure and committed
depredations on the neighboring
farms. The farmers turned out with
dogs and guns, but were never able to
capture any Of them. They were hunt
ed day and night. They finally took up
their abode in Sullivan county. where
hunters tried in vain to kill them.
Judge w. H. Crane, of this place. broth
er of the late Stephen Crane, was the
only person who successfully brought
down one Of these wild boars. What has
become of the remainder of the ami
mails is a mystery, as they have disap-
peared. 1t is believed they all died.

Berries That Grow In the Arctic.
Tho Eskimo children have other
things than snowballS and icebergs
to eat. Things grow very fast in the
short arctic summer. AS soon as the
snow melts off in many places the
ground il covered with vine which
bears small berry something like q
huckleberry, porwong it is called. 1t
il sour and has pungent taste, and
the Indians leave off work and go
porwong hunting, cramming them

so short, or there would be an epi-

Seas that Swamp. Ships.

Who that has steered a sailing ship

true sea can ever forget the lelsurely
way with which the huge seas follow
each other in quick succession, just
gently kiss the tatfrail as though to say
farewell, and the next instant are seen
towering high aloft away off the end OF
the jib-boOm. This is sight never to
be erased from the tablet OF the mlnd
while life is left to us. The danger OF
popping is not altogether absent; but,
with a good helmsman at the wheel,
it is reduced to a minimum, and not
greater than any other risk a vessel
runs in a gale of wind. Even the best
OF helmsmen, and the most careful OF
commanders, however, cannot provide
against solitary sea OF abnormal
height. AS general rule these excep-
tional moving masses OF water are
termed tidal waves" Needless to say,
they are nothing of the sort.

CHICAGO, May -. The Methodist
General Conference to-day elected two
members of the Board of the General
superintendent after battle of ballots
lasting nearly a week, and also finally
disposed of question that for many
years has been source of dispute in
Methodist conference.-the admission
of women to the General Conference.
This was settled in favoro the women.
Dr. J. W. Hamilton of the New Eng
land Conference, General Secretary of
the Board of Freedmen's Aid and
Southern Educational Society, and DR..
David E. Moore of Cincinnati, editor of
the Western Christian Advocate. were
elevated to the Episcopacy on the seven
teenth ballot, both receiving many
more than the necessary two-thirds vote.
Beside the action Oh the Episcopacy
and the question of the admission to
women to the General Conferences, and
therefore necessarily to lay-electoral
conferences, the General Conference
adopted the constitution as submitted
by the special committee on organic
law.
CHICAGO, MAY %. BY vote of 433
to 23s, the conference, to-day, abolished
the time limit of pastOrates, thus final
ly disposing of one of the most import
