Now They Are Married.

A bashful young man went three
times to ask beautiful young lady ii
he might be the partner of her joys and
sorrows and other household furniture.
but each time his heart failed him. and
he took the question away unpopped.
She saw the anguish of his soul and
had compassion on him. So the next
time he came she asked him II he had
thought to bring a screwdriyer with
him.
He blushed and wanted to know
what for.
And she, in the fullness of her heart,
said she did not know but that he
would want to screw up his courage
before he left
He took the hint and the girl.

Improve Country md Town.

One of the essentials In this life Is
good road from the farm to the market.
The product of the farm can be mar
keted at lower cost. This means that
you can buy more for your money. 1t
saves your live stock. The farmer need
not send up the country for SO many
horses and mules. One horse can draw
more on good road than two can on
a bad road. Good roads and street
sprinkling improve the county and
town.

There is an odd feature in the theOl-
ogy of the small Indian tribe of the
Bella Coola, which inhabit British Co.
lumba in about latitude -. They be-
licve that there are five worlds, one
above the other, and the middle one is
our own world, the earth. Above it
are two heavens, and under it are two
undcrworlds. In the upper heaven is
the supreme deity, who is woman,
and she doesn't mcddle much with the
affairs in the second world below her.
The zenith is the center of the lower
heaven, and here is the house of the
gods, in which live the sun and the rest
of the deitieS.
Our own earth is believed to be an
island swimming in the ocean. The
first underworld from the earth Is
inhabited by ghosts who can return
when they wish to heaven, from which
place they may be sent down to our
earth. If then they misbehave again,
they are cast into the lower of the I'M
derworlds, and from this bourne no
ghostly traveller returns.
The Bella Coola are sun worshiperS,
for SeneX, the sun, the master of the
house of gods, who also is called "the
father" and "the sacred one" is the on
ly deity to whom the tribe pray. Each
family of the Bella COola has its own
traditions and it's own form of the cur
rent traditions, SO that in the mytholo-
gy of the tribe there are countless
contradictions. When any one not Il
member of clan tries to tell a tradi-
tion which does not belong to his clan,
1t is like white man trying to tell
another's joke-he is considered as ap-
propriating the property right which
does not belong to him.

MAKING GOOD ROADS.
Educational Work Of the National
AzsOciRtiOn.

The construction of a good country
road, as demonstrated by the eXpcdi-
ton sent out by the National Good
Roads association at Flossmoor recent
ly, is by no means difficult or compli-
Gated matter, says the Chicago Trib-
une. To prepare the ground for the
road it is necessary first to secure per-
feet drainage. The ground must be
protected from the infiltration of
ground water, which would cause a
caving in of the roadbed.
After the drainage has been attended
to the surface of the road is leveled

HIGH GAME.

The eating. of ''high'' game is undonbt-

stated that the production of the char

It Is rather repulsive to think that The
aencate flavor of game is dependent upon
tnat 1nvar1able product of decomnosition
OF rotten eggs-sulphuretted hydrogen, The
smell evolved during cooking Of ..high''
game IS 5 even more disgusting. Fresh

OF Artificial Precious Stones.

Ingredients of Artificial Precious stones
To meet the growing demand for artifi-
cial jewelry: the process Of making
precious stones has been greatly Inn
proved within the last few years, and Its
further development has enlisted the
services of some Of the most ekillful
chemists. The material chiefly used is
glass, brit 1t is not the ordinary glass Of
commerce. 1t Is prepared with the great
est care by highly skilled artisans, for
upon its clearness and perfect homoge-
neity depend the quality of the imitation
gems, which are far superior to the cheap
grade Of counterfeits that rely on silver
back.ngs for their luster.
This glass can only be made from abso-
lutely pure quartz, or, better STILL from
rock crystal, as quartz frequently con-
tains minute veins OF iron. which would
impair the clearness and color of the
glass. The bicarbonate Of potash and the
oxide of lead which are mixed with It
must also be chemically pure Other In
gradients Of less Importance are borax,
which promotes the fux, and q small
quantity of arsenic.
f Inc best grass Tor imitation gems con-
isists of rock srysta1. 80 per cent; bicar-
Donate of potash, II per cent; oxide Of
lead. SO per cent; borax, 1 per cent, and
trace of arsenic. Carefully prepared by
competent hands. this mixture produces
3 grade Of glass which in b1illiancy and
iridescence yields little to the genuine
diamond itself. and these qualities may
be further enhanced by the substitution
of potassium for the. bicarbonate OF
potash and an increase OF the quantity
of oxide of lead used.
Stones carefully made by this process,
says the New York Herald, can be dis
tinguished from the genuine only by ex-
sperts. This is true, however, only so long
