It is Rose N-veIt.

No name in America Is so commonly
mispronounced as that Of our Prest
dent 1t is Roosefelt, Rozyeldt, Roo,
zeyfelt, or Rozzyyelt, whichever way
one turns. Those anxious to be right
quiz the newspapers or write to
friends or to Washington.
President Roosevelt, more than two
years ago, determined the correct pro-
nunciation of his name for the gener-
al public, in an interview published
in the 1imes-Herald. On June 25,
1899, he was en- route to Las Vegas,
New Mexico, to attend 4 reunion Of
his regiment OF Rough Riders. Some
question came up on his special train
as to how his name should be pro
nounced, if pronounced correctly. He
settled the dispute by saying:
Pronounce it as If it were spelt
Ros-y-velt, q word Of three syllables.
That is the only way to pronounce
it,"
He pronounces the 1rst syllable as
If it were spelt Rose" and having
that the rest is very simple, This
ought to settle all questions about the
pronunciation and cure those who ia
slst on saying Roosevelt"

Ininstioo I'm the Family.

1t seems rather hard on the pune
tiliously careful people Of the world
that the absent-minded are always
readily forgiven for every misde-
meanor, however often repeated it
may be, while every lapse on their
part is resented as an intentional rude
ness. BILLY can do anything" p"
grumbled the good elder brother of
tho family, speaking of the prodigal,
"ald he is never held accountable.
Ec may miss engagements, forget
promises, and get into scraps more OF
less serious all the time, and nobody
is ever angry with him. Whereas, If
1 neglect the smallest cOnventionality,
l am punished with black looks and
am sure to have it remembered
against me. 1t is just the same now
as in ancient Judea. The good, con
scientious member of the family Gas

a disadvantage, while the fellow who

cullar fact Is explained as follows!
While It is raining in n certain spot
moisture from various directions is
being conveyed to this special region
by electrical energy. To illustrate
this transportation possibility Of cleo
tricity, Professor Gates has construct.
ed a large glass case about eight feet
In length, divided Into two ccmpart
ments by means OF a section of thin
porous paper One division is filed
with very dry air and the other with
air containing a heavy percentage Of
humidity A wire leading from tho
negative pole of static electrical ma.
chine is attached to the compartment
containing the dry air, while another
wire led from the positive pole is con.
nected to the chamber containing the
moist air. When the current is
switched on the moist air Is transport
ed from one end of the box to the
other in a much shorter time than it
would be conveyed by ordinary difu
sion.
In addition to producing artificial
miniature showers, mists and thun.
derstorms, Professor Gates contrives
on a similar scale the more violent
eruptions of nature such as cyclones
and waterspouts, with equal facility.
To the bottom of an ordinary saucer
filed with water a wire iG attached,
connected with the positive pole of the
machine A small rod connected with
the other pole Of the machine is held
n short distance above the surface Of
the water. When the current is
switched on the water is agitated,
the disturbance increasing in violence
as the potential of the current is
raised, until presently a conc is
formed, rising higher and higher un-
til it ultimately touches the rod above.

keeps turning up at ROuen, anxious TO
convince the executors Of the Comte

The Pierrecourt heirs have already be-
gun suit to have the giant couple
clause in the counts will set aside,
averring that the testator was not of
sound mind when he stipulated that
method Of improving the breed of
Frenchmen. In the meantime the dOcu-

amazingly. They comprise written ap,

monday Morning Crouch"

The bachelor who spends his Sun
days in visiting his friends in the
country proyerbially has a blue Mon
day" on his return. Sometimes his de-
pressed mental state is brought still
lower by disagreeable neighbors ON the
homeward trip. One downcast
traveller in the double seat Of a rail
way car lately was greatly annoyed
by his seatmate, a man whose flesh
seemed to overflow, and who smoth-
cred the bachelor every time he
turned a leaf Of his newspaper. A
peaceable person, and one rarely
moved to anger, the bachelor found
himself on this occasion so irritable
that he could not keep out OF trouble,
so, fully expecting that a fight would
follow, and rather hoping that it
might, he leaned over and fetched the
large man a fierce dig in the ribs with
his elbow, But only, disappointment
followed, for his neighbOr turned and
laughed in his face, and said. with
misplaced sympathy, AHA! Monday
morning crouch, 1 see. had it myself
lots Of times"'-New York Pest

Road Making.

1T is pretty certain in our Judg-
ment that the farmer, sooner or
later, win be forced to construct
better highways. The bicycle
people, while perhaps not quite so en-
ergetic in the matter as they were a
few years ago, are still calling for bet
ter roads, and there is a sufficient
large vote at their command to give
influence to their demand upon legis-
lation. There is a disposition to create
new offices in the connection with
the improvement of roads, and the
prospects are exceedingly good for
the introduction of road building re-
form, whether we farmers like it or
not. It, therefore, behooves us to
look into the matter ourselves. Per-
haps, in many instances, at least, we
can improve our roads in n substan-
tial manner ourselves, and at much
less expense than the State would do
it for us. The gravel road is a good
one If it has any foundation, and
where there is no foundation 1t is
difficult to see how a good road can
be constructed with any reasonable
outlay. If there is a good natural
foundation, and gravel is applied to
the centre of the road, and good drain
age provided we shall have a road
that is substantial, as substantial as
scientific" road makers could con-
struct The application Of coal oil as
is generally known, makes a good
road, though what the cost is we are
not advised Wherever oil has been
applied the results have been satisfac-
tory. We apprehend, however, that
such a road is not satisfactory to the
wheelmen. We suspect, too, that
while crude oil is used it is too ex-
pensive Otherwise we might expect
a more extensive application Of the
method.
We probabtS may safely conclude
that the improvement Of roads will
take the shape Of either tramways-
wide iron rails on which the wheels
are to run - or stone construction.
The tramway would seem to be the
only practical method in sections
where there is no natural foundation,
and it is unqucstionably the cheapest
road anywhere. Where gravel is
handy. or reasonably so, it can be
prohtably used In some localities
there is no gravel, but there is plenty
of limestone. 1t would pay, under
such circumstance, for the authori-
ties to purchase a stone crusher and
prepare this limestone for application
to the roads. In every state labor
puts up a fierce fight against the em-
ployment of convict labor in manu-
featuring articles Of commerce. though
lust why a mechanic who is unfortu'
nate enough to get into prison, should
become a non-producer and a gentle
man Of leisure, is not plain. Passing
all that. convicts might be prohtGbly
employed in crushing stone for road
building. There would be no Gntag-
onism to this kind Of employment,
for 1t is not one that is sought by
those opposed to convict labor The
application Of crushed stone - thus
prepared-with a covering Of sand,
and rolled with a heavy roher, would
make an excellent road, and would not
be very expensive, provided the stone
was close at hand.-W. c. Hail. In
The Epitomist.

APronhecy Regnrdlng CoaI.

Professor Francis B. Crocker's pro
phccy, made in 1896, that coal wOIld
be banished entirely by electricity
within ten years, may yet come true.
Not a pound Of coal, according to that
well-known electrical inventor, need
be brought into New York, either to
serve as fuel in factories for generat-
ing steam power or in households for
heating and cooking purposes. He
went into minute calculations which
appeared to demonstrate that the cost
Of an electric plant large enough to
furnish all the light, heat and motive
power of any great city would be less
than present eXpeditures for coal. In
general terms his plan was to generate
electric power at a point ten miles or
more from the city, transmit II
through underground conduits to the
city's limits, and thence distribute II
through one or more main feeding sta.
tions to transformer sub-statons
here the pressure would be reduced
to 25O volts for feeding motors Of all
kinds by the three-wire system.--NeU

Roads in Europe.

Two hundred years ago England
had the worst roads in the world, be-
cause the peasantry living on the
roads alone were required to work
them. In speaking OF them Macauley
says "that a route connecting two
great towns which have a large ana
flourishing trade with each other
should be maintained at the cost OF
the rural population scattered be-
tween them is manifestly unjust 1t
was not until many toll bars had been
violently pulled down, until the troops
had in many instances been forced to
act against the people, and until much
blood had been shed that a good sys-
TEN was introduced" Every class
now contributes to the maintenance
of the road system in England. The
French have probably the most eifi-
cient laws and regulations in the
world for the building and repairing
of highways. The Minister Of Pub
lie Works has the general superin-
tendence of all roads and ways by
land and by water. There are four
classes Of road recognized by law,
namely, % national, (2) departmental,
90 military, a. cross roads. National
roads are built and kept up by the
national treasury. Departmental
roads are a charge upon the depart
ments through which they pass, and
part Of the military roads are kept
up by the Government and a part by
the departments through which the
roads pass.
The cross roads are kept up by the
communes, though sometimes in thin
! ly populated regions these communes
| receive assistance from the Govern
ment especially when these roads
become of importance.
The national roads are paved like
a street, having an average width Of
! fifty.two and a half feet. The de-
} partmental roads are thirty-nine feet
! wide, and the military and cross
roads are Of variable width. Piles
Of broken stone Sre placed at cOnve-
, nient distances, and a man is con-
stantly employed in repairing each
| section.-Amercan Asphalt Journal.
