FOREST FIRE LANES.
Reduces the Danger of Great and
General COnHagratfOns.

It is generally recognized through
out Europe that the construction of
suitable fire lanes throughout the for
est conduces more to the prevention of
great confagrations than any other
institution. These serve as vantage
points in the fighting of fire and often
in themselves are sufficient to prevent
it's spread. By means of fire lanes the
country is cut into parcels and the
danger of great CONGREGATIONS very
materially reduced. These fire lanes,
in order to be efficient, must be wide,
clean and well cared for; otherwise
they are of little use.
Fire lanes may be constructed at
slight expense. After the wood is cut
it is necessary to pillow three or four
burrows along the edges and then to
burn over the lane at times when there
is no danger of setting fire to the
neighboring woods. A lane so feet in
width would be quite efficient.
The scheme which have to suggest
| is that these fire lanes be constructed
and kept in order in way similar to
the cons truction of state roads, which
have been so popular of late. In this
| way no terrible burden of expense
rests upon anybody. The individual

Importance of Agriculture.

The basic industry of this country is
agricultural. In 1890 there were 1884,
GAL farms in the country. There are

farms. This increase has arisen from
Two cause.-the settlement of govern

benefited thereby pays part, the coun-
ty another part and the state pays the
remainder.
New Jersey was the first state to
take any radical step toward the i'm
provement of her public highways.
The state aid law provides that, on pc
tition of the owners of two-thirds OF
the lands bordering any public road,
not less than mile in length, asking
that the road be improved and agree
ing to pay ten per cent. of the cost, the
county officials shall improve the road,
one-third of the expenses to be borne
by the state, if the road is brought to
the standard fixed by the state COM
missioner of public roads, and the bal
ance-66 % per cent.-by the county.
The states expenditures for such I'm
provements in any one year are linn
tied to $150,0oo, while the county is linn
tied to one-fourth of one per cent. of
its assessed valuation Since 1895 the
applications for new roads have been
far in excess of the limit prescribed by
law.
It seems to me that it would be a
simple process to extend this system
to the construction of fire lanes. 1t Is
foolish to talk of forest culture until
fires are reduced in number. For this
purpose fire lanes are essential, and
this is the only scheme I know OF
which seems practical and possible

STORY FOLD IN STONE.

work is the perspective. One is not
sure whether the mule is amusing
himself by jumping upon the man or
has retired to his corner at the call
of time. The position and length of
the mules legs would lead one to be-
lieve it to be a copy of the famous
animals that pillow on hillsides until
the legs on one side are shorter than
those on the other.
Thus, in the cold marble, is told
how this brave man met his death.
Whether the widow intended to hon
or the man or the mule cannot be
stated.
When the monument was complet-
ed the children of the dead man OBJ
iected to its erection and asked the
assistance of the people in control
of the cemetery to prevent the artis-
tic widow from carrying out her
plan. The authorities declared that
such a monstrosity should not deco
rate the -burying grounds, and in
formed the widow that unless she
would bring dire punishment on her
self the monument must never 'enter
the gate" of the sacred place.
And it did not. She tore panel of
the fence and had it taken in and set
up without using the gate. There it
stands, by the side of a more modest
and conventional headstone erected
by the less artistic children.

MRS. MADISON'S CASE.

Polk City, Ia, Oct. 14.-For over
ten years Mrs. Elizabeth P. Madison,
a respected lady of this place, has
suffered most. severely with Kidney
trouble complicated with derange-
ments of the bowels and liver.
Rheumatism, another painful result
of deranged Kidneys, added its tor
lures to her burden of pain.
Treatments and medicines without
number were tried; physicians also
exhausted their skill, but all to no
purpose.
At this stage of the case treat
ment of Dodd's Kidney Pills was re-
sorted to and the results were simply
miraculous, from the very first box
an improvement was noticed and the
continued treatment resulted in a
complete cure.
This remarkable cure created de-
cided sensation in the neighborhood
because of the complications of the
case as we'll as it's severity and ap-
parent hopelessness.
Upon investigation Dodd's Kidney
Pills are found to be the only rem
edy that has ever cured Bright's Dis
ease, Diabetes or Dropsy and these
hitherto incurable diseases are read
lily conquered by this remarkable
remedy.

for the citizens to vote 100000 tax.
it was found that the women voters
held the balance of power, and that
in order to carry the measure the wom'
en- would have to vote solidly for it.
This was an appalling situation.
Women are no more fond of paying
taxes than men. Besides it was the
first time a Louisiana woman had
ever voted at all, and most of them
thought ballot was a boomerang
that was liable to fly back and ami.
hilate them.
In this emergency Miss Gordon
came to the front as woman leader.
She called a mass meeting of, the
women, picked out such as could talk
intelligently in public, and organized
a campaign of education. Committees
went from one end of the city to the
other, holding parlor meetings in
every neighborhood, where they
preached the gospel of sanitation.
They sat up and wrestled of nights
with every tax-paying woman, and
taught her to fill out ballot, and the
result was that on election day it was
found that the women's vote had been
cast as unit for sewerage and drain
age.
In recognition of her services Miss
Gordon was presented with superb
medal by the Progressive Union," an
organization composed of the leading
business and professional men of New
Orleans.

ing All Kinds of Winter
Wraps at Home.

When furs become worn or soiled at
the neck, they may be renovated by
gently rubbing with cotton batting
saturated with gasoline, which should
not be used in room that has artificial
heat or light Axel grease, tar, paint
and pitch may be removed by rubbing
first with oil of turnpentine and then
with ether. Dark furs may be cleaned
with fine cedar or mahogany sawdust
which has been heated in an oven.
Alaska sable, seal, electric seal, fox,
ETC., should be beaten with a switch I'M
til free from dust, then laid with the
fur side up, and the hot sawdust rubbed
in. Be lavish with the sawdust and Wig
orous with the rubbing. After this
place the garment upon feather pill
lows with the furry side down, and
beat we'll until all traces of the saw
dust have disappeared. Then hang
out in a shady place. White furs may
be cleaned in the same way, using
white cornmea al instead of the sawdust,
or if only slightly soiled, by rubbing
we'll with magnesia in cakes. Wet furs
should never be dried near the fire, but
