The Yale Roller FIGURING Mill
Narrowly Escapes Being
Consumed by Fire.

What might have been the most des
tructive fire for years in Yale, was
everted at about 1000 o'clock Thursday
night. Fire was discovered in the Rol-
Ter Mill, and the two hose companies
responded Immediately to the alarm.
1t was found that the blaze originated
in the north. west corner of the mill on
the first floor and is supposed to have
been caused by defective electric
light metre or wire.
Ii required some hard work on the
part of the iiremen, but they soon had
the flames under control.
The mill had been very busy, running
nights most of the time, and this acct
dent will cause at least a months delay
which will be not only great loss in
various ways to the company, but to
the business houses of our village as
we'll
About $4,000 worth of empty sacks
had been received the day before and
were placed in the basement. They
are almost totally destroyed by water
and smoke.
The mill is insured in the Millers'
Mutual for $1,000. 1t is estimat ed the
loss will reach $1,000.
AS Mr.. Rub has been quite busy to-
day making arrangements to repair the
damage. we were unable to get correct
figures. but our readers may look for
them in next issue.

\ ale to take the morning train for
Buffalo, where they will visit the expo

turn they will take up their residence
in Argyle. We offer our hearty con-
gratulations and best wishes for the

last issue as occurring at the M. +. par

of invited friends were in attendance
and the presents to the bride were both
beautiful and useful.

What Is Agef

Upon one occasion when Sir
Mountstuart Grant Duff was in the
company of the distinguished physi-
clan, the late Sir Andrew Clarke, their
talk turned upon old age. Asked to
define age, Sir Mountstuart took ref
uge in the conventional view by
which a woman is the age she looks,
and the man the age he feels.
well enough for society" com
mented Sir Andrew. "But what is
age?"
suppose you define it?' suggested
Sir Mountstuart.
ut seems to me- replied Sir An
drew, that age begins when we cease
to be able to adapt ourselves to the
changes of our environment. \ man
who cannot do that is already aged,
whatever the sum of his years."
THAT reminds me-" said Sir Mount
stuart, "of a story told of caller
upon Cardinal Newman during Sc
we're illness. He is very ill., the OBJ
s"rver said, nevertheless | don't think
he is ging to die. He has great
deal of Latin read to him, and he is
made almighty cross by the false
quantities."
That is deep sea sounding" Sir
Andrew emarked.-Youth's Compan-

lives are spent in the open, fishing
and hunting.
In spite of fat noses, thick lips and
tightly curling hair these savages are
a handsome race, with physiques al
most faultless, bronze coloring, stat
uesque proportions and graceful
movements.
Woe to the enemy who falls into
their hands, for they are both cruel
and treacherous.
The girls of the Negritas tribe mar
ry as young as y, seldom as late as
Is, and the wooing is curious.
when the bridegroom approaches,
though he may be the girls own
choice, she must Immediately take
flight, and, untrammeled by clothing,
swift of foot, she often gives him a
long chase, ere ne overtakes her. If
unusually reluctant she may escape
him by taking refuge in real"
but she is generally captured and led
back to the parents, who are inler-
ested spectators.
The mother receives the captive
and leads her, still resisting up the
ladder to the door of the cabin; then
the father seizes the man and assists
him in the same peremptory manner
to mount the bamboo ladder.
Once inside the cabin the eldest
male relati e fills the cocanut she'll
with waite, then dashes it's contents
over the couple, and as they kneel be-
fore him, more or less gently strikes
their heads together, which signi-
fies that man and wife, which they
now are, should have but one mind.
The bridal party then descend to
the ground and the marriage dance
begins.

terpsichore, whirl, spin and leap into

Then follows a feast of fruit and
rice, after which the bridegroom
takes his bride to his fathers real"

without even clearing the ground

MAKING A ROSE JAR.
Two Recipes Which Have Been Used
for Some Time and Are Highly
Recommends

The rind of two lemons cut thin, one
pound bay salt, one ounce orris root,
powdered; one ounce gum benzoin,
one ounce cinnamon, half ounce cloves,
one ounce nutmegs, one grain musk
finely ground, u bay leaves, few sage
leaves, rosemary and lavender cut
small, one ounce eau de cologne, one
ounce bergamot. Mix all together in
a pan, and add sweet flowers in their
natural state, as they come into bios
som; stir it frequently, at least once
a day. 1t must be put in a covered
stone pot, with a wooden spoon to stir
it with. At the end of two or three
months you will have a sweet-scented
mass ready to fiji number of the
pretty japanese rose-jars. Roses may
be thrown in from time to time.
Another recipe, said to be one of the
very best, is the following: Prepare
two dry pecks of rose leaves and buds,
one handful each of orange flowers,
violets and jessamine, one ounce each
sliced orris root and cinnamon, one
quarter ounce musk jf desired), one
quarter pound sliced angelica root,
one-quarter pound red part of cloves,
two handfuls of lavender fowers,
heliotrope and mignonette; one-half
handful each of rosemary flowers, bay
and laurel leaves, three sweet oranges
stuck full of cloves and dried in the
oven, then powdered in a mortar; one
half handful of marjorum. two hand
fuls of balm of gilead, dried; one hand
full each of bergamot, balm, pineapple
and goose-mint leaves. Mix well to-
gether and put in layers in a large
china Jar; sprinkle salt between the
layers. Add small bottle of extract
of newmown hay and moisten with
brandy. Stir occasionally.-Success

HOW TO MAKE A BOARD DRAIN.

in. Be sure to stop up the outlet with
coarse wire screening, to keep out rats,
rabbits, etc. Board drains need no
plank on the bottom of the ditch,
neither do they need any straw or hay
on top of the boxes.
But it is important to get the grade
of the bottom of the ditch uniform, and
1t will pay to take some pains with it.
A drain should not have steep grade
followed by one not so steep. If it is
the reverse it will not matter but in
the former case the water, flowing
with some rapidity, will scour and car
ry with it some silt. Coming to a sec
tion of lesser fall, the flow is retarded
and the silt deposited causing the
drain to stop up. Three inches to 100
feet of drain is about the least fall
that is practicable TO give to board
drains.
Where it is not desirable to get the
services of an engineer to lay out
drain, the farmer may find out what
he has got by using the common spirit
level, and then he can finish the bot
tom of the ditch with device have
shown at the bottom of Fig. l. Take
straightedge 121h feet long and fix to
it another straightedge movable at
one end. If the two edges are made
to be one-half of one inch farther apart
at one end than the other and one end
eveled by a spirit level the other edge
will correspond to fall of four inches
per 100 feet. The movable end can be
so attached as to be quickly adjusted
to represent any fall desired. For
small drains where there is plenty of
fall the ditcher can do we'll enough
with his spade and eye; but in longer
drains with little fall the assistance of
some kind of instrument is required.

LAYING BOARD DRAINS.
In Some Localities and I'm Certain
Conditions They Are Almost as
Good as Tile

While tile is the standard material
for drains, it quite often happens that
tile drain does not do so well as one
would expect from so expensive an
outlay. In soft ground they will some
times get out of line or sink into the
mud AT places the line of the drain
will sometimes come above the frost
line. At such places and at the outlet,
freezing will cause the tile to cru1n-
bic, in time, unless they are vitritied,
which adds greatly to their cost. A
tile drain is no more exempt from
trouble with roots, silt or vermin than
is one made of boards. In sections re-
mote from tile yards freights add so
much to the cost of tile that their use
| is almost prohibited, but it is especial
, ly in these places that wood can be OBJ
Ntained more cheaply.
: Wood is more enduring when laid in
drain than is generally supposed.
Hemlock, which is of but little dura bill
ity above ground, is still doing service
in a drain which was made is years
ago. well-laid drain of rived chest
nut or cypress will last almost life
time. White oak and locust are also
very durable. In fact, almost any kind
of wood will last well in deep drain.
There are no blows to disturb it, and it
will preserve an opening for the flow
of water long after decay has set in.
board six inches in width should be
nailed to one five inches in width and
laid along the bottom of the drain, as
at A in Fig. 1. If the boards are rived
and there are narrow ones, the mar
row ones may be nailed over two 9TH
ers, as shown at B.
The ditch need not be over a spades
width on the bottom. In depth it
should average two to three feet. The
deeper the drain, the farther it will
draw the water, but it is not advisable
to GO so deep where there is a heavy
clay subsoil. Drains will do better
service after two or three years, as
the ground gets more porous.
In laying the boards have them fit
closely and cover any holes with thin
pieces of wood so the dirt cannot work

Good Roads Would HELM

1t has been shown, according to re-
port of the Industrial commission. that
the average haul of the American
farmer in getting his produce to mar
ket, or to the nearest shipping stat tion,
is 12 miles. The average cost per ton
for hauling over the common country
roads is 25 cents per ton per mile, or
three dollars per ton for a 12-mile haul.
Careful estimates also place the total
tons hauled at 300,0O0,O0 per year and
the average haul at 12 miles, making
the total cost of getting the surplus
products of the farm TO the local mar
ket or the railroad $9Oo00O,OOO. i.
figure is greater than the operating ex-
penses of all the railroads in the Unit
ed States.-Farm and Home.

A CASE OF CONSCIENCE.
How Fidelity TO n Trust Got Mrs.
broadway II wettinG, as EK-
planned by Herself

Mrs. Broadway's dress was bedrag-
gled and her feet were wet. More
over, she was cross, which, says the
New York Sun, was but a natural
consequence of her waterlogged con-
dition.
How did you happen to get so
wet?" asked Mr.. Broadway.
Il was playing keeper to another
PERSONS conscience" was the gloomy
response. "A man rode uptown in our
car the other night that deserves a
piche in history. 1t was on his ac-
count that | have ruined my dress
and my best pair of shoes. He got
on the car at Thirty-seventh street
and sat down on the front seat fac
ing me. 1t was raining hard and the
conductor did not come around right
away to take up his fare.
The man wanted to change to a
cross-town car at Forty-second
street, and he began to beclon to the
conductor TO come up and get his
nickel, but that public servant was
huddled up comfortably on the rear
platform ard never budged. When
we reached Forty-second street he
had still failed to materialize and the
man with a conscience was beside
himself with anxiety.
"He couldn't make up his mind
what to do. He didn't like the idea
OF being carried past his corner, but
he liked still less to leave the car
without paying his fare. Finally he
hit upon happy eXpedient of which
| was the central figure.
"'Pardon me- he said will you
take this nickel and when the con-
ductor comes around give it to him,
please?'
with that he dropped the money
into my hand and was off the car and
streaking along down Forty-second
street like a mad goat"
What a chump!" put in Mr.. Broad
way. 'He ought to have monu-
ment erected to his memory. There
isn't another man in New York that
would have done that"
That's what the men all said"
continued Mrs. Broadway. "And he
certainly is one of a kind. His ac-
tions were so unusual that they
made me feel awfully foolish, and the
remarks of the other occupants of
those two seats did anything rather
than restore my equanimty. 4 won
der how long since he dropped
DOWN. said one, and, 1T looks like
shame to pass up a good beer that
way said another. And then they
all laughed.
''As for me, sat there and blushed,
I didn't know what to do with the
Nickel for, try as l might, l couldn't
