The salary OF the governor OF
New Mexico Is only w 600 per
annum and that Of each OF the
Judges Of the supreme court 50, 900.
The Silver City Enterprise and the
New Mexican, in commenting upon
these items, call attention to the
fact that they are entirely too
small, and the former journal in
mentioning bill which has been
introduced into both houses of
congress to increase the salaries Of
the supreme court judges, sugg sts
that the chief justice should re
ceive $500, the associate judges
$4,000 and the governor also$5, 900.
The suggestions are good ones ami
will meet with the approval OF
every fair minded citizen. Dona

STORY OF A SLAVE.

To he bound hand and foot for
years by the chains Of disease is
the worst form of slavery. George
ID Williams, OF Manchester, Mich,
tells how such slave was made
free. He says: "My wife has
been so helpless for five yeare that
she could not turn over in bed
alone. After using two bottles Of
Electric Bitters, she wonderfully
improved aud able to do her own
work" Thi- supreme remedy for
female diseases quickly cures nrr-

THE OVERSEER AT FAULT.

The condition of the roads are such
as justify the statement that the aver
age overseer knows about as much
about road making as a six-year-old
boy should know. The average boy
has experimental with water enough
to know that it will run down hill.
The average boss hasn't Il found that
out yet, or if he is aware of that law
of nature, he doesn't put that knowl
edge to practical use. The boy knows
that where water is, there will be mud.
The boss lets water stand in the
roadway, and the farmers wagons, aft
er passing over few times with
load sinks in to the axle If the mud
was bothering the boy, he would go to
the source Of the water and turn it in
another direction.
OF course, so long as we must de-
pend on dirt rcadbed, we must eX
pect mud at times, and at times it will
be Impossible TO haul LOADS over the
best drained roads; yet there is no
reason why we can't have much better
roads according to the am ount of work
and money expended on them each
year The farmer is to blame is he does
not see that the worth qf his money
and time is Dut on them to the best
advantage. He cannot hbpe to better
the roads without systematic work. It

puzzles and amusement knick-knacks
A considerable proportion of the
fakirs' goods, novelties and trick pas
times sold on the street originated by
women. They sell the patent right
promptly to the proprietors of news
agencies, who include such small gear
in their stationers AID confectioners'
supplies. A fair proportion of the
specially goods invented and makers
are women. Many whose trade
marks are registered at the Patent Of
flee have made fortunes, either through
shrewdness in putting their wares on
the market or because of the articles
worth. These inventions include
patent medicines, complexion soaps
and waters, hair ointments and re-
storers, and an infinity of health and
toilet knick-knacks found at the drug
ST ops.
The first woman to take out a patent
inaAmerica was Mrs. Mary Kies, who
in 1909, invented a process for weaving
straw with silk or thread. During the
next 25 years only Is patents were
granted to women. In the next Is
years IS patents were granted, and it
was not until after the Civil War that
there was any marked increase in the
number Of women inventors There
were 152 models of women's inventions
exhibited at the Atlanta Exposition,
and since then the Patent Office has
had a specially classified list of wo-
mems inventions prepared for public
inspection.-New York Sun.

WOMANLY EXERCISE NOT NEW.

Susan, countess of Malmesbury,
seeks to rid the mind of the fallacy
that outdoor exercise is a special attri-
butte of the women of the present day.
Our mothers and grandmothers she re-
minds us, could sit horse, WELD a sal
mon rod or use an oar. We know, too,
that Mary Queen of Scots never could
keep her health unless she rode twenty
or thirty miles a day, and that the
ladies of her court accompanied her
when she went out walking.
But the women and the men of past
days led, forcedly, lives which were in
the main quieter than ours, locomotion
being so much more expensive, fatigu
ing and difficult.
Many things which formerly were
done at home by the mistress of the
house and her maid servants now are
accomplished best elsewhere.
The doctor and the chemist of today
are more reliable than those Of the
past, therefore the mother of the fam
lily does not find it necessary or even
advisable to concoct medicines for
those about her.
Certainly the principles and practice
of today appeal to have created a race
of fine outstanding young women, many
of whom leave their homes, where they
have been loved r~4 delicateiy. nur-
tured, to follow tho husbands, endur-
ing all manner of hardships without
complaint
Many of these women, who have
never done bp~d days work in their
lives, go to the colonies. and what their
hands find TO do that they bravely IN
dertcke. The mental training would
be of the wrong sort indeed had it not
taught them the dignity of the neces-
sary labor of woman for those she
loves.
Careful diet, cotinues the countess
and exercise specially adapted to the
needs Of each individual are the most
powerful-indeed the only lasting
remedies we possess against the ener-
waiting effect f luxury Or high pres
sure, and the sedentary existence
which the stern necessity Of earning
a living has imposed On too many of
our sex, and they are remedies which
cannot be replaced by medical treat
ment.
Almost every woman might if she
had the time at her disposal derive ben
eft from the bringing into active use
Of some one set of muscles suDposing
that her efforts were directed rightly.
The Swedish system of gymnastics
fully recognizes this fact, and it is
well known that there are special
movements which improve the action
Of the heart or Of the digestive facul-
ties. as the case may be.
The whole secret lies in knowing
what to do, but in not OVERRIDING It.
and in developing side by side the
mental and physical qualities Of our
young girls as they are growing mp.

| cannot be done in one year or two
growth, and the only way to secure
them is to work through the overseer.
The greatest item in road improve
ment is draining. Constant travel on a
dry roadbed will improve the road ev-
cry year. Constant travel on a wet
roadway will make q worse and worse
road every succeeding rainy spell
Every shovelful of dirt moved in the
road should be lifted with the idea of
future as well as present benefit. The
middle Of the road, the driveway,
should always be built up. Put more
dirt in the center, but remove none.
bitches along each side will carry off
the water, and as the traffic of the
succeeding years harden and pack
down the roadbed, the water will run
off Immediately, not sinking into the
dirt of the road, making travel impos-
sible until the sun and wind have
dried out the moisture. Another thing
to be studied is the soil. Some soils
readily shed water while others are
ready to take it in.
AS a general thing the soil in the
low stretches of roads and valleys is
Of nature that takes in water, while
on the hillsides it is of clay nature
which easily becomes packed and i'm
pervious to moisture. This should be
kept in mind, even when grading is
done, the hillshides should be graded
down and mixed with the soil of the
]ow ground. This serves two-fold
purpose. It makes the hills less steep
to pull load up, and it makes more
substantial roadbed for the valleys.
Another thing, too much money is
expended in building bridges in places
where there is little travel. Often iron
bridges costing $1,000 will be put
across streams where not a dozen
teams cross in a month. The money
could be put to a more beneficial use
to the whole community by expending
in grading. Bridges are a necessity,
but the peoples money should be spent
with view to the general good Of all.

SAVING THE TREES IN PARIS.
Those Removed from the Exposition
are Carefully Conserved.

In order to save the beautiful trees
which it is necessary to remove in con-
structing the buildings for the PariA
exposition an ingenious method has
been devised by the engineers in charge
of the enterprise. Trees, roots and the
surrounding earth are inclosed in
heavy plank bins built around them
and are then bodily lifted into the air
and kept suspended there until the ex-
cavations and building foundations are
completed, when, if there is room, the
trees are let down into former posi-
tons. The plan has been found to
work admirably and it is so simple and
practical that it might be adopted
wherever it is necessary to disturb
trees in the course of building opera
tions.-New York Mail and Express.
