Steel Roadway in spain faid ioH
Itself I'm Two Years by saving
in Road Repairs.

The American consul at Valencia,
Spain, reports these facts to the state
department at Washington: The road
between Valencia and Grao is two miles
in length, and an average of 3,2oo We
bicles pass over it daily. Until 1872 1t
was constructed OF flint stone. The
annual cost of keeping it in repair was
about $4,000 pesetas. At the rate OF eX-
change at that date this amounted to
$5,470. The construction of steer
roadway was determined on, and the
annual cost of keeping in repair the
central zone of road thus relieved from
heavy traffic-which proceeds over the
steel rails-is now only $500 pesetas, or
about $3.50 at the present rate OF eN-
change.
The total cost of the road laid was
GO,950 pesetas ($9,506). The expense in
detail was: Steel construction, A, 100
pesetas CSC, 500: transportation and
! laying steel construction, $3.50 pesetas
! $500; binding stone construction be-
/ tween rails and .lateral zones, $500
pesetas (S2, 1Oo); total, 60,95o pesetas
! ($9,50G).
The rails. during the seven years they
have been in position, exhibit a wear OF
1-250th of an inch yearly, and have nc1
required repairing.
Ample room is allowed between The
rails for two horses to walk abreast
Horses do not appear to slip on rails o

Valencia is of opinion that the savin!

THE LADIES' GALLERY.
How BallOting ,Sr Seats in That Sec
ton of the House of Com
mons Is Done.

Whenever a session of parliament is
about to open a number of wise legisla-
tors take time by the forelocl and Sc
cure places for their friends weeks be-
forehand. Those who postpone making
their requests ill the last moment
are disappointed. The ladies' gallery in
the house Of commons consists of two
sections-two-thirds of it are given over
to the members of the house; one-thlrd,
separated by heavy partition from the
other, is in the hands of the speakers
wife, or, if he has not wife, in charge
of the lady who is acting as the head
of his household. In the portion of
the gallery given over to the members
of the house the applications for the
seats, which are come 40 or so in num-
Der, are, Of course, much more nu-
merous than the seats, and, according
ly, there has to be ballot.
When / first entered the house of COM
mons this ballot used to take place
every sitting just at the end of prayers,
and in public. The member put his
name on piece of paper into a box,
and then the ergcant-at-arms, with one
or two of his attendants, used to take
the names out, and the successful ones
were entered in book. This used to
be one of the most enjoyable moments
of the sitting. The spirit of school
| boyishness which is in every English
man, used to reassert itself, and cheers,
| laughter, ironical compliments, all
| kinds of EXPLANATIONS and running COM
ments used to accompany the reading
out of the names. For instance, IL
a member were particularly lucky in
| the ballot, and won two or three weeks
| in succession, there would rise loud
chorus of shocked "Ohs!" and "Ahs!'
and sometimes humorous cry of
shame, shame!' OF course, if a mem
berwere a well-known man there would
be some appropriate comment. But the
old system has disappeared with lot
! of the old usages which were in exist
| ence when | first entered the house.
| Balloting for the ladies' gallery no
| longer takes place in the open, and amid
the tumultuous scenes | have described.
| A box is placed in one of the division
| Hobbies; you put your name on form
! prepared for the purpose, and then, at
a certain hour, the box is withdrawn;
in private the deputy assistant SER
ycant-at-arms draws the ballot, and then
the names are posted in book, and
! you get, if you are successful, a print
ed card telling you so.-T. ?. O'Connor

any other cause. 1t is worthy of note
in the study of this orchard that the
trees were lohgest-l;ved that were on
the sides and at the base of the hill.
My studies Of this and many other
old orchards on hill sites seem to war
rant the fc flowing conclusions: That
trees planted on hill sites will come
into bearing earlier and will produce
heavier crops of fruit than on level
sites; that a north hillside is better
site than a south hillside; that an or
chard on hill site will be shorter
lived than on a level site; that the
longevity and fruitfulness of an orchard
on hill site would be greatly increased
by sub-soiling and clean cultivation, as
such orchards suffer greatly from lack
Of moisture; that only such varieties as
are not given 20 overbearing should be
planted on hill sites if longevity is de-
sired in the orchard; that a hill or or
chard ought to be benched, which may
be done by blowing at right angle to
the slope and breaking the soil on the
lower side OF the trees, as shown in our
illustration. "A. ID. McCallen, in Ameri-

HILL SITE ORCHARDS.
An Interesting subject interestingly
Discussed by n Successful
Fruit Grower.

The majority of old orchards in Hi
nois were planted on hill sites and the
varieties were mostly sweet or very
sour sorts, seedlings being about as
numerous as budded or grated stock
OF the named varieties of apples, Ram
DO, Pippin, Bellfower, Milan and Tai
man Sweet were perhaps the most com
mon. As a rule these early orchards
were planted for family use only and
were given but little attention, being
used for pasture for hogs, sheep and
other stock. With such indiifereh,
treatment very large crops of fruit
were seldom produced, and the trees
were not drained of their vitality.

The boards are run between two slabs
that have been sharpened and driven
into the ground facing each other.
When the boards are in place, the slabs
are nailed together through the boards,
making a very firm fence. J. bit of wire
can be wrapped about the top and bot
tom to make ii still stronger, if desired.
At all sawmills such slabs from pine
logs car be obtained, and very serv-
iceable fence made with them. If cedar

BENcHING HILLSIDE ORCHARDS.

craving is growing upon steep north
hllside-slant fully half-pitch-in
hill orchard owned by Mr.. j. II. 10y,
in Efingham county. 1t is six feet in
circumference, 35 years old and is es-
timated to have produced $3.50 worth OF
apples. The orchard has a northern
and southern slope, with ridge Wlde
enough for one row of trees. Orlglnal-
ly there were about 800 trees, CONSIST
ing of Is or 20 sorts. The trees were
planted 35 years ago and most OF that
time the orchard has been pastured. Al
this time not more than 80 trees re-
main, the majority of which are in RAPID
decadence. The % Ben Davis trees
were the first to die. and the Jennetings
and Minklers are the best preserved Of
those surviving. Nearly all the trees
living in this old orchard are on the
north hillside and they are best where
the slant is steepest. So far as can be
determined from a study of the old
trees remaining in this orchard, decay
and decline are traceable in nearly
every instance to cutting out large
limbs. splitting down at forks and IN
Jury at base from borers, sunscald or
other causes unknown. 1t appears that
trees which made low or branching
top and bore only moderate crops OF
fruit were longestlived. Peach trees,
mostly seedlings, we're planted in this
orchard, between the apple trees after
the latter were in full bearing, but were

STAGE KISSES ARE GENUINE.
The Theater-GoinE Public Demands
Realism Even in Stnge Love-
Making.

Embraces and kisses are rehearsed
with the EXTREMIST care. They must
have an impulsive manner. They must
look sufficiently fervid. 1t is a curious
sight-that of two players who are to
express the ardent love which Shake
speare has written for his "Romeo and
Juliet" but who at rehearsal, in mod
crn clothes and no accessories of
glamour, practice kiss as mechanic
ally and unfeelingly as though it were
as it is then-utterly devoid of senti
ment. There must be no hesitation nor
clumsiness. Romeo is not permitted to
decide whether to throw both arms
around his sweetheart or only one, or
which. Nor may Juliet be shy or for
ward, yielding or resisting, as she
chooses. The director will place their
arms for them if they do not themselves
make picturesque exhibit of tender
ness. And the kiss? Shall it be deliy-
cred by the wooer on the lips of the won,
or on brow, or cheek? That question is
considered ard settled. Are kisses on
the stage genuine? Well, not at re-
hearsals, except, may be, once or twice
in order TO show the effect fully. A
actress would resent a real kiss at q re-
hearsal except when necessary For the
satisfaction of natural curiosity on that!
point it may be told right here that
most OF the kisses in the public per-
formauces of plays are actual kisses

Deafness Cannot Dc Cured

by local applications, as they cannot reach
the diseased portion of the ear. There is
only one way to cure deafness, and that is
by constitutional remedies. Deafness Is
caused by an infamed condition of the mu-
cous lining of the Eustachian Tube. When
this tube gets inllamed you have a Iumbllng
sound or imperfect hearing, and when it Is
entirely closed deafness is the result, and
unless the inflammation can be taken out
and this tube restored to its normal con
dition, hearing will be destroyed forever;
nine cases of of ten are caused by catarrh,
which is nothing but an inflamed condition
OF the mucous surfaces.
We will give One Hundred Dollars for any
case of Deafness caused by catarrh that
cannot be cured by Halls Catarrh Cure.
