Advantages of Wide Tires.

Experiments made at the Missouri;
agricultural station show that in near
ly all road conditions broad tired wag
Ons pull easier than those with narrow
tires. On macadam road a load of
2,J1S pounds can be hauled on broad
tires with the same draft as load of
1000 pounds on narrow ones. On gray
el road, except when wet and sloppy on
top, the draft of the broad tired wagon
is much less than that Of the narrow
tired wagon. A load of 2,4S2 pounds
can be hauled on broad tires with the
draft required for 1000 pounds on mar
row tires.
The trials on dirt roads give varying
results. When it is dry, hard and free
from dust, 2,530 pounds can be hauled
on broad tires with the draft required
for 1000 pounds on narrow tires. When
the surface is covered with two or
three inches of dry, loose dust, the re-
suits are favorable to the broad tire.
In general the better the road the
greater the advantage of the broad tire.
On turf it is much easier of draft.

GROWTH OF CARlCATURE.
John Laws wild Schemes Gave II
Tremendous Impetus.

Caricature is nowadays one of the
principal methods of criticism. No
movement can overrcach the mark
without eliciting dozens of works of
art from caricaturists all over this and
all other countries.
This branch of criticism and attack
dates far back. but the greatest i'm
pulse 1t ever felt came from the age
of tremendous speculation. when. in
1710 and 1870, John Law was manipu-
latng things financial In France. New
er before had the financial world been
so carried off it's feet as 1t was at that
time. Members of the nobility were
waiting for chance to purchase
shares in Laws schemes. Duchcsscs
and ladies of high rcnOwn tried their
most persuasive charms on Law in the
attempt to get hold of shares. Men
hired out their backs for writing desks,
so great was the press of business in
making contracts, and one hunchback
Is reputcd to have made 100000 fraucs
in this way In n few weeks. The
French went veritahly mad over the
schemes to become wealthy. Natural
ly the papers of the time, especially
those of Holland. caricatured the state
of affairs. There were pictures of all
sorts. caricaturiEg Law, the nobility,
the schemes and everything connected
with them.
1t was this tremendous amount of
pictorial work that first directed the
energies of William Hogarth, in Lon
don. in this direction. Caricaturing
began to be used more and more in the
political field, and soon aftSward 1t
caused the shelving of Robert Walpole
from the English ministry. Ever since
then has caricaturing been one of the
bitterest and most effcctual methods Of
checking public men and their
schemes.

GOOD ROADS OF FLORIDA.
Splendid Highways Built of q Mix
ture of Sand and Clay.

Maurice o. Eldridge, acting director
of the office of road inquiry of the agri-
cultural department, who recently
made an examination of the roads of
Florida, makes a very favorable report
of their condition. lie says: In spite of
the great freeze of 1898, which almost
paralyZed the orange industry in Flori-
da, the people of that state have built
under these trying conditions hundreds
of miles of good roads. These high
ways are as durable and perfect as the
stone and gravel roads of some of the
northern states, and on account of the
luNuriant tropical growth which bor-
dcrs them on every hand they are as
beautiful as any highways | have ever
seen, not excepting the masterpieces of
the road builders art which traverse
the rocky slopes of the Alps. The most
remarkable thing about these roads is
the cost, which is only about Onc-siXth
as much as the stone and gravel roads
of the northern states.
Roads II feet wide are being con-
structcd in Orange county in the vicini-
ty of Orlando and Winter Park for
$500 per mile, and where convict labor
can be had. which fortunately is very
scarce in Florida, good roads have been
built for $3.50 per mile. This remark
ably low cost is due to the fact that
these roads were built by simply mix
ing the sand, of which the original
roads were composed, with clay, which
has been discovered ut various points
in thp Stotn 4 lnnnSit of This
clay was discovered near Barlow, and
many of the streets and roads in
Orange county have been built by mix
ing Barlow clay with sand, which,
when placed upon the prepared sand
foundation and rolled, So consolidatcs
and cementS together as 10 form Il
compact and smooth surface. After
these roads are once built they are not
worn and cut to pieces like the high
ways of the north, due to the fact that
no deep freezes occur to disrupt their
surfaces and foundations In winter
and that the water flows rapidly to the
sides of the road during continued
rains and sinks into the sandy soil
alongside. Another reason why these
roads do not wear rapidly is that many
of the vehicles in Florida, even the
buggies and light spring wagons, have
been provided with wide tires and have
thus become rOadmakers. As Il result
of wide tires and good drainage some
of the streets of Orlando, Fla, which
were built over ten years ago of sand
and clay, are as good, if not better to-
day than they were when they were
built

A TWO NICKER.

don't know where 1t started. but in the
good old times of case type and hand
presses 1t was the common expression
used to designate woman In print
shop. 1t wasn't used outside OF the
composing rooms. I'll tell you how
think 1t arose. All the old hand type,
as everybody knows, is provided with
hicks on the side, so that the type
settlers don't have to look Mt the :'ace Of
the type to know how to throw 1t I'm
the stick Far back in prehistoric
days the type had only one nick, but
later two hicks became the style, AMI
80 years ago two hicks was the usual
thing. But there came improvements
in typemaking. and 1t was discovered
that three or four hicks on the side Of
the type made 1t easier for the printer
to handle and so the three or four
nickcd type came into style and the
two nicked type went into diSuse and
bad repute. Printers desplscd the two
nicked type. About that time women
got foothold In the printing offices.
They were not regarded with favor by
the old time printers. The women and
the two nlcked type were In about the
same category in the esteem of the old
typo, and 1t was very natural that he
should come to express both by the
same words. They both became two
nickers.' and the expression has be-
come traditional in printshops. MEM

Manasseh Cutler Of Massachusetts,
In circular in 1877 "boomlng" the set

were about to plant on the Ohio at the

BEFORE AND AFTER.

the Value of Good Roads.

Farmers Changed Their Minds About
the Value of Good Roads.
Speaking Of the results obtained by
the l.. y. W. in its campaign for good
roads, the New York Tribune says:
when the pioneer macadamiZed road
was built from Irvington to Spring
field, n. j., there was storm of pro-
tests against it from ultraconservativc
farmers, who objected not only to the
cost they expected it would impose up
on them, but to the uSelcssnrSs of the
road. Perhaps it would do for light
driving, they said, but it would never
do for heavy tcaming. 1t would be
ruinous to their horses feet If it
were built. no self respecting farmer
would ever think of using it,
"Wcll, it was built, and in short
time thereafter the average farmer
with heavy load to cart would go Il
considerable distance out of his way
for the sake of getting upon it. Doubt
less precisely the same thing has oc-
cured in the case of many other i'm
proved roads in other parts of the
country. OF course such change Of
opinion is to be commended as Il sane
recognition of the benefits of improved
roads"

WHEN LOVE is DEAD.

When love is dead, draw thou the lattice close,
Shut out the world with all its blare and din;
Rain down the petals of the faded rose
Lest pity enter in.
When love is dead, weave thou a Chpckcrcd pail
Of broken promises and faith unkcpt,
For in the twilight, when the soft dcws fall,
Thy heart shall know love wept.
The bee shall dronc his homcly, humming note
Upon thine ear until thy day shall pass;
The wood bird shall rcproach thee from the moat
And things that throng the grass
little child shall look with wondering eye
Into thine own and greet thy smile with tears;
A butterfly with ghostly wings shall die
And haunt thee through the years.
