The problem of a cheap and service
able country road has been solved in
the western part of Cranston. There
are about six miles of this road, which
was built four years ago. The old
country gravel road was the founda-
ton. This was thoroughly picked
and softened, and the macadam, con-
sisting of Il coarse stone bottom with
finer crushed stone and dust on top,
was put on and firmly pressed down
with a steam roller. Not much grad
ing was done, and no attempts were
made at Strengthening. No care was
taken for sidewalks. The cost was
estimated at $500 per mile. For a
road after four years use with no re-
pairing or sprinkling, this appears TO
be remarkably good. The town has
its own roller and crusher, and buys
stone of its own farmers.-W. E.

POPPING THE QUESTION.

This Delicate Task in Rn En-
tireIy New Way.

A young mechanic was desperately
in love with bonnie lass whom he
had known from childhood, and to-
wards whom n new and tenderer
flame had kindled in his heart. OF
this she seemed to remain so utterly
unconscious that he felt helpless. He
privately consulted a friend, who ad-
vised him to call at the house every
night and always inquire if she was
in. He faithfully did so, but with no
better result. She was hearty and
frank as ever, treating him as if he
had been her brother. He became
desperate. One night, when she had
come out to the little gate in the lane
with him, and was bidding him good
might, he held her hand longer than
usual, and said, tremblingly;
"Mary, isn't 'his-isn't this Fri
day?"
She said: YES"
"And you remember I was here last
Friday, and I've been here every night
since, and always asked for you,
Mary?"
"Is that SOP" she said, without APP
parently the least suspicion of what
he meant by it.
"Oh, Mary, Mary" he exclaimed. in
desperation, "do you mo- begin to-
toto smell rat ?"-Tit-Bits.

VISIT TO THE LAPPs.
0ounR American Traveller Tells of
Her Experience During n Trip
In Scandinavia.

Miss Margaret Kennedy, who made
n recent trip through an unfre-
quented part of Sweden, thus de-
ecribes some of her experiences in the
New York Tribune:
During our stay at 0tschon we
made long and interesting excur-
sion to the Lapps, and mad the rare
opportunity of assisting at one of
their services, which are only held
two or three tiides year. An hours
row and two hours ride through the
forest along a broad and rushing
river brought us to their little wood
en- church, which, with a farm or two,
nestled in small but fertile valley:
behind this lowered the wild and
rocky field, on which this tribe of
Lapps had their encampment. We put
up our ponies in the stables of the
"Lapp king" a rich farmer, so called
because of his kindness and hospital
ity to the Lapps, who, in their turn,
treated him as their father and gen.
eral counsellor.
We amused ourselves till :he service
began watching the congregation, as
they appeared over the fields, looking
very bright and picturesque in their
church going attire, which was richer
and much more adorned than is usual
ly the case; hut these people belonged
to a very prosperous trine, possessing
many hundred reindeer. The curious
ly shaped hats of the men are scarlet,
as a rule; their waistcoats are thick
ly braided in vivid colors, and they
have skin tight breeches made ot
reindeer skip. The women's caps are
of crimson satin, their hair IS loose
and plated in with strings of beads
and they wear long embroidered tun
les stretching to their knees. Rec
seems to pe their favorite color; ever
the babies wear tight-ftting red caps
and very sweet they looked as they
lay in their little reindeer skir
cradles and were rocked by theil
mothers, who were waiting to tak'
them TO be christened when the serv
ice began.
These cradles are made in the shap,

THE WEIGHING MACHINE.
IL Has BECOME Almost ns Essential
Piece of bathroom Fix
ture as the Bathtub.

In every household to-day there are
babies or banting women or dyspeptic
members. and the modern, scientific
physician draws his sage conclusions
as much from his patients pounds as
from their temperature. In conse-
quence the most wonderful machines
have been developed to meet this need
of determining human weight to the
smallest fraction of an ounce.
Among the wedding presents of a
summer bride was remarkab.e-look-
ing object that puzzled considerably
those who were asked in to view the
gifts, until the bride herself explained
that it was new and improved family
weighing machine.
The frame of the affair was made OF
highly polished mahogany, and the top
of the platform, supported by four
graceful legs, was cushioned and COW
cred with royal red leather. To one
side of the cushion were notched and
numbered bars of silver, and with this
went a leather-bound book and series
of little numbered weights, made also
of silver.
The whole thing was a puzzle tin
some intelligent person recognized the
apparatus as an elegant family weigh
ing machine, so exquisite in its ADJUST

ROADS OF SAwDUST.
when Properly Constructed, and
Then Kept I'm Repair, They Give
Excellent Service.

Any strong, fbrous substance, and
especially one which holds moisture.
such as the refuse of sugar cane oil
sorghum and even common straw,
fax or swamp grass. is useful in road
making. Spent tanbark is of some
service, and wood fiber in any form
is excellent. The best is the fibrous
sawdust made in saving shingles by
those machines which cut lengthw1sa
of the fiber into the side of the olock.
Sawdust is first spread on the road
from eight to ten inches deep, and
this is covered with sand to protect
the road against fire lighted from
pipes or cigars carelessly thrown or
emptied on the roadbed. The sand
also keeps the sawdust damp. The
dust and sand soon become hard anc
packed, and the wheels of the heav-
lest wagons make but little impress
sion upon the service. The roadbed
appears to be almost as solid as a
plank road, but it is much easier for
the teams. The road prepared in this
manner will remain good for four oil
five years and will then require re
newing in some parts. The ordinary
lumber sawdust would not be Sc
good, of course, but if mixed with
planer shavings might serve fairly
well.-Boston Transcript.

The fore word in the book tells how

draw precious inferences therefrom.
This is all in line with new theory
that it is flesh that tells whether one
is we'll or i'll more truthfully even than
color or appetite or i'll feelings, and the
makers of scales have appreciated the
bearing of this new gospel on their
trade.
Some of the machines they make are
in the form of graceful chairs, uphol-
stored in blue or white leather to match
the bathroom decorat tions. and some

Beautify Your Door Yard.

No one can fail to see that pur-
chaser would give more for farm
where taste has been displayed around
the house and outbuildings than for
one equal in acres, location, ETC.,
where no attention has been paid to
these things. But, aside from all pc
cuniary considerations, many reasons
are apparent to every intelligent per-
son why this work of house embellish-
ment should be done. 1t renders
home and whatever appertains to it
attractive-suggestive of pleasurable
thoughts and sanctuary of hallowed
association. This is an inducement
sufficiently powerful to lead all
thoughtful people to endeavor to rem
der every appearance in accordance
with good taste.-Cincinnati Enquirer

stornge for Roof crop..

Beets, turnips and carrots can be
kept in bins in the barn or cellar. A
layer of carrots and a layer of dry
oats or corn, or even of sand, will keep
them at an even temperature and pre-
vent sudden freezing and thawing.
The same applies to potatoes or other
root crops. Cold does not do them as
much damage as warmth. 1t is when
they thaw suddenly that they begin to
decay. Apples will remain frozen
without being impaired in keeping
qualities, but they will soon show the
effects OF thawing All root crops that
are kept just above the freezing point
will remain in good condition.

women Like Nice Horses.

One of the absolute necessities on
every well regulated farm is some
thing that the women can drive. Too
many farmers have plenty of horses
without having anything that the
women and children can take out
alone with the expectation of getting
back the same day. Horses that wom-
en- can use are too often so old or Sc
slow that it is hard work to get any.
where with them. Provide the WON.
en- something they can drive. They
want TO go sometimes when you can
not, and they want to get there wher
they go.-National Stockman.

strips of leather. These are neces-
sary precaution, as the babies are
often hung up, cradles and all, on the
branches of the fir trees when their
parents want to be rid of them. At
II o'clock we all went into the church,
an ugly, whitewashed, wooden lit
tie building, adorned inside with
grotesque plaster figures and big
eye, painted in vivid blue, with a
hideous black eyelash. 1t appeared
out of sea of white paint, and
looked down on us with an uncanny
and fixed stare from behind the altar.
The service was Lutheran, and read
in Swedish by a priest sent all the
way from Undersaker. After the
christening of the babies we all went
into the churchyard, where the burial
service was chanted over the graves
of those who had died in the last six
months. 1t was all rather impressive,
somehow, and the little Lapps looked
very much in earnest and joined
heartily in all the prayers. After an
hour of the service my father and
left, as before returning home we
wanted to visit one of their kotas, or
camps, the only one lying at the foot
of the field. A quarter of an hours
walk brought us to it. In shape
rather resembling an Indian wigwam
this kota, unlike the usual ones made
of reindeer skin, was built of turf
overlaid with branches, with the
smoke coming out of hole in the
roof. Crawling through the narrow
opening we found ourselves in cir
cular room about 12 feet in diameter
Fir bonghs, bundles and sacks strewet
the earthen floor. and our escort, a
Lapp woman, told us that no less than
20 men, women and children from the
higher encampment had slept in thi
limited space the night before to b.
ready for the next days service. The.
