The Cane Crop.

Louisiana Planter.
The most marked feature of the
crop situation continues to be the
drought, which has now begun to
assume serious phase in some To-
calities and is everywhere the cause
of more or less anxiety. The low
temperature, too, which keeps on
visiting US at intervals, is in no way
beneficial and there will be wide
spread sensation of relief when the
hot weather and rains so necessary
for the growth OF the young cane,
reach US. During the last day or
two there has been a marked rise in
the temperature, and the atmos-
phere, at this writing, is heavy and
humid which. we all hope, Is the
forerunner and a good rain or fire.

The VermOnter.

The May Vermonter, Just issued, is an Old

largely descriptive of the days OF the old red
school house, and contains "reminiscences of
the early lite of many Vermonters who have
become famous. There are large number
of illustrations, including exterior and inter

OF the old mill and the oaken bucket by Wal.

were born Chester A. Arthur, Vice-President

GOOD ROADS SPECIAL.
Novel Highway Scheme on the Line
of the Illinois Central.

Novel Highway Scheme on the Line
of the Illinois Central.
A novel scheme Of arousing a whole
some and active interest in the con
structiOn of desirable highways and
one which can scarcely fail to produce
satisfactory results is that arranged
by the Illinois Central Railroad compa.
ny and the National Goods Roads as
ISOLATION. A train Of several cars, one
or more for commissary and dwelling
purposes and the rest for the transpor-
tatiOn of first class roadmakins ma.
chinery, will leave New Orleans foi
Chicago with a force of expert road
builders. At 20 or more places between
those two cities the train will be side
tracked and practical demonstrations
given in the art Of making smooth,
hard and durable wagon ways. A
model road one mile long will be built
in each of the places at which the
train stops, and the residents of the IA
vored towns are to be called on to pro.
vide the material for foundation and
grading.
The coming of the good roads spe.
cial," as the train will be called, is to
be announced here and there along the
line of the railroad by advance agents
of the movement, who will hold mass
meetings for the purpose of expound-
ing the advantages Of highways that
are properly made and of proving to
the townspeople that the construction
and maintenance Of such highways
constitute a duty which they owe to
themselves and to future genera
tons. 1t is expected that the arrival
of the train will be awaited with great
eagerness at the places it will visit,
and the promoters of the venture hope
that it will result in greatly stimulat-
ing the good roads movement, at least
along the route Of the Illinois Central.

BILLIARD CUES.
How They Are Made-America Fur
nishes the Best.

How They Are Made-America Fur
nishes the Best.
"Most billiard cues" said a New York
manufacturer the other day, "are made
in two pieces-the cue proper and the
handle. The cue is made generally of
maple, and the butt, which is wedge
shaped, is inserted into a handle of
any, walnut or some other fancy dark
wood, which is cut to dOvetail with the
long part.
"The maple wood used in making the
handles is sawed into suitable lengths
and seasoned. The logs are then split
into pieces from which the handles are
made. These pieces are called bolts.
The bolts are sawed approximately to
the shape of the handle to be finally
made, and in this shape they are han
die blocks. The handle block is turned
to the shape of the handle in a lathe,
and when the butt has been fitted it Is
finished and polished.
"The finest and best cues are fitted
to the handle or butt by means of
double wedge. At the top of the cue is
q ferrule of ivory, of horn or bone, in
which the leather tip is fitted. While
the ivory ferrule is the most expensive,
of course it is less durable than the
horn or bone ferrules, which are less
liable to crack. The extra workman
ship on cues is put in on the butts,
some of which are deliberately inlaid
and carved in beautiful patterns.
"There are a number of billiard play
ers who will not permit another person
to use their cues, and for the use Of
these particular players cues are turn
ed out from which the tips may be I'M
screwed, leaving the cue with unfinish-
ed points and useless.
American billiard cues are the light
est, strongest and neatest made any
where in the world They are made
in all weights and lengths and rank in
price from 30 cents to $25 and more
each, according to the quality and fin
ish of the Notwithstanding Star.

Amateur Road Builders,

The average country road builder
turns out an article that looks well in
dry weather. A rainy season, especial
ly in the spring, when the snow is
melting and all earthwork is loosened
by thawing frost, speedily develops the
amateur character of the work. Many
a piece of roadway on which township
or road district officials have expended
days and weeks of thought and work
has been washed away because it was
a dam in the path of spring waters
seeking the lowest level, and the por
lions left have been turned into quag.
mlres because insufficiently drained.

ROADS OF NEW YORK.
In Poorer Condition Than They Were
Four Years Ago.

In Poorer Condition Than They Were
Four Years Ago.
Time was, and not so long ago, when
supervisors were almost Indifferent to
road Improvement as it is understood
now, says the New York Sun. They
had to be educated in the advantages
of macadam. AS we know, the i'm
proved bicycle was a great factor in
enlightening them. But for the advent
of that remarkable vehicle country
roads would be very generally what
they were ten years agO-deep in dust
in dry weather and of the consistency
came in time to appreciate good roads,
but he still balks at the cost. AS there
is a large contingent of ruralists in the
legislature, it is no easy matter to get
through a liberal appropriation for
road building.
1t may be pointed out that when the
bicycle ceased to be a craze local in
terest in keeping up the macadamized
roads declined. Throughout the state
the roads are not in as good condition
as they were, say, four years ago. In
time the automobile with a cheapening
in the process of construction will sup
plement the bicycle as a good roads ed
ucator, and then, we predict. the sum
of $4,000 will be regarded as a rather
small state appropriation to help along
the laying down and maintenance OF
highways.

DEWEY ON THE PHILIPPINES.
lie Tells About His Orders Before The
Famous Fight--BeIieves The Islands
Control The East.

Control The East.
Talking the other evening with
representative of The Philadelphia
North American, Admiral Dewey re-
called the fact that exactly three
years had passed since he sailed in
Subig Bay in search of the Spanish
feet, and, finding nothing there, ex-
claimed to the officer assembled
around him: Gentlemen, we have
them" Then the Admiral proceeded
to talk very freely about what he did
at Manila and the consequences Of
his victory. First of all, he said that
those who had criticised him for not
sailing away from the islands after
he had destroyed the Spanish ships
did so simply because they did not
know the orders under which he was
acting. The orders, he added, have
never been printed, but they include
the words:
SIN the event of war with Spain
your duty will he to prevent the
Spanish ships in Asiatic waters from
leaving there, and then operate in
the Philippines"
This, the Admiral thought, should
settle ali controversy as to where the
responsibility lay for the course he
pursued after the May day battle,
but he FASTENED to admit that he
was then and is now more than con-
tent with what he did. 81 can fully
appreciate" he said, "what a splen-
did acquisition the Philippines will be
to this country, With those islands
we shall control the whole eastern
trade, 80 far as European nations
are concerned, and we shall garner
more of that great commerce than
any other country on the globe, with
perhaps the exception of Japan. The
people will soon be wholly pacifed.
The great majority of them are al
ready recognizing the benefits of liv-
ing under such flag as the Stars
and Stripes, and the remainder will
speedily learn the blessings of such
an existence. The Admiral also re.
called the fact that he was in the Pa
cific as Captain OF the Management
at the time of the Virginius affair
and when his officers regretted that
they would have no part in the fight
ing that seemed probable, he tolC
them not to worry, since, if war came
they would get their share OF It'll
the Philippines.
