Some Early AsDhalt Roads

History and tradition have fur
nished us with the basic information
which has guided us in. building the
civilization of to-day. It s said that in
prehistoric times the Incas Of Peru
built roads that extended from the
tropically heated valleys up the noun
tains to the regions of perpetual frost,
using the natural asphalt rock, and
these roads are in good condition to-
day. The discovery of a large section
in Kentucky i covered with asphalt
rock, which scientists have pronounced
perfect and natural combina ton of
asphalt and quartz sand, most valua BILE
Tor paving purposes and far superior
to any / tiiicial combir1a ton that
could be made, is of vital Importance.
.T[h The day M may not be. far distant when
every city and village will have all
streets paved with asphaltsrock, a ma
terinl which is not only the most dur
able but Scleanly and: noiseless.- Amer

PATRoNIZE HOME MERCHANTS.
A Tip on the Mail Order Business
that Carries a Moral With IL.

The following from the "Dry Goods
Economist" well illustrates why people
should buy from their home stores
where they see what they are getting
before they buy it, aud have chance to
compare it with other goods mt the same
time:
why is il that the mail order bust
ness as conducted by the strickly mail
order houses is profitable, while the
mail order business of the department
stores is generally, il not invariably,
conducted at loss?
at is hardly worth while to go into
the accuracy OF our postulate that mail
orders in department stores do not pay.
The Economist has long ago dealt with
the question; John Wanamaker testified
to the same fact before the Federal In.
dustrial Commission, and one house in
New York attempts to head off this
kind of business by advertising from
time to time that mail orders will not
be filed
Broadly, the explanation may be
phrased thus: The mail order depart
ment is conducted as convenience, an
atlracter Of regular trade; the mail or
der concern as "A money making busi.
ness. The department store could not
sell the quality Of goods handled by
mail or1er hnuSas and keen its trnde

THE LOVELY PEACH.


The peaches are coming Tito town.
Their lucious rpeness offers no sugges
ton Of the July drouth and, although
the peach ason is late throughout the
state, the crop is magnificent as TO quail
ity aud quantity is not to be complained
Of il the earlier arrivals are fairly repre-
sentative Of the whole, says the West
Plains Gazette.
The Missouri peach, lovely to the eye
and delightful to the palate, may well
/ be reconed as one OF the best gifts of
bounteous nature TO this state. Aside
4 from the pleasure il gives TO one who
sees the beautiful in nature it has more
/ substantial claims to consideration to
the commonwealth. In southern Mis-
souri, the peach has attained TO II degree
Of perfection that was not thought pos.
sible few years ago.
Modern methods Of culture and trans
portation have developed the Missouri
peach until it now has standing in all
the markets second TO few least on
this side of the Atlantic. "Spare the
pruning knife and spoil the peach" is a
maxim that has done the most for it in
the state. The peach growers have got
ten over the horror they once had Of cut
ting two-thirds of the blossoms and Civ
ing the remaining peaches a chance.
The result Of this sacrifice of the prom
ise of the trees has been infinitely finer
fruit and much larger yield. We have
not yet arrived at that stage Of fruit cul-
ture where we can roduce the delicious
fruit Of France. There the peach tree
is cultured to grow against the wall with
a southern exposure. The tree is fiat.
tened against the wall and is prunad
till dozen or less peacnes are left. But
the dozen are of such magnificent size
and rare flavor that they command un-
heard OF prices.
Missouri has not yet arrived at this
refined stage of peach culture and the
value of the each crop is not equal to
that Of the corn crop but is altogether
satisfactory. May the horticulturist
who brought II out of Persia and sent il
ON its journey to this state, where it is
being perfected, be gluritied with the in
numerable hest Of bpneiactors Of hu.
manity who have gone to their reward.

Constitution and Flag.

To the Editor of the indianapolis Journal:
That catch phrase 1.-THE Constitution fol-
lows the flag is making a number of good
people in Hartford City very tired. 1t is
doubtless made as an expression of patriot
ism, of a kind that is only possible In the
breast of a very great and a very good
man. The cry of imperialism during the
last campaign made lots of people tired.
Yet imperialism" and "the Constitution
follows the fiag" are first cousins. Did not
the "aunties' .yell imperialism" louder
than anybody? Is anyone making more
noise about 1.-THE Constitution following
the flag" than the "aunty?' He means he
IL better than the rest of us. The Prohi-
bitionist boldly states that he is better

city when he smashes saloons I'm de-
fiance of law than his %neighbor, who is
content to await the laws process-he is
vain. But that cry 1.-THE Constitution fol-
lows the flag is likewise a vanity cry. L
believe the Constitution does follow the
flag for the American citizen, born in the
United States, or for the naturalized citi-
zen who has acquired it's privileges by
compliance with its law. hat the United
States cannot own the Philippines with
cut giving to the original occupants there
OF all of the rights of an American citi-
zen, it seems to me is an absurdity. The
fact is all the territory acquired by the
United States has been for the purpose of
expansion and directly for the benefit of
the people of this country. Incidentally,
the original occupants are fairly treated

dams. Another fact mat the 'aunties'' and
the g~oouy-goods lose sight Of is that the
world has grown too small for a country
where all men may not be safe in the
pursuits of business or happiness. There
are thousands of practical men in this
country who want the Philippines to be in
shape so that investments there will be
safe. The Hoosier, in a few years from
now, will visit his son and family in our

New Vanderbilt Chief.

The great Vanderbilt railroad system, and
with 1t the direction, in a large degree, of
the vastest of American family properties,
will pass. before long, under the control
of a new executive, says the Cosfnographic
Company. This event will be of supreme i'm
portance 70 thousands of stockholders scat
tered throughout the world, to far more than
100000 employees, to the managers of rival
run lines and to the travelling public az
large.
DR.. w. Seward Webb, a member of Inc
Vanderbilt family, will be the logical sue
cessor of Senator Chauncey NJ. Depew, and
DR.. Webb will become one of the three or
four most potential men in transportation
circles on the continent.
Few men under fifty years Of age, as DR..
Webb is, have made so great q record in
the railroad world. One of the secrets of
his success is the earnestness with which
he enters into everything he undertakes.
and his mastery of details. Reports rarely
satisfy him. He must see everything with
his own eyes. While the Adirondack road
was being built he was constantly on the
ground, and knew everything that was be-
ing lone on every mile of IL. Every branch
of mechanics is to him an open book.
He has his own locomotive and can run
1t as we'll as can any engineer in his serv-
ice. Not only that, he understands every
part of its construction. DR.. Webb's pri-
vate car. Ellesmere, is perhaps the finest
car in the world, and is continually in sew
ice
