Choice Lamb and Fish,

Senator Foster of Washington, and

ago when one of his constituents had
forwarded him a fine lamb. which
was served on the Californians table,
he sent choice cut over to the Sen

"Glve him my compliments" quoth
Mr.. Loud, to the waiter, "and tell the
Senator that this lamb never tasted
anything but milk"
The days Of the session flew by, and
not long ago a waiter appeared at Mr..
Loud'G elbow one evening, bearing
cut Of magnificent salmon. 1t was sent
by Senator Foster
"But I want to know whether this
salmon came from Washington or Ore

bearing Cf a connoisseur.

A HIiceIess Island.

There is small island named Papa
Little that lies in st. Magnus Bay, on
the west side of Shetland. 1t gets
it's name in contradistinction to Papa
StOur, or the Big Papa, another island
in the same bay. Both names are CT
Morse origin, and signify Priest ISL
ands, from the fact that they were
colonlzed by the Irish Catholics who
first introduced Christianity. There
was a solitary croft on this island at
one time, but all that now remains is
a ruined homestead, for the place is
used purely for grazing purposes A
striking feature of the isle is the fact
that no mice can live there; and on
various occasions to test the truth Of
this, mice have been caught and slipped
on the isle, but so uncongenial did its
soil prove to their existence that in
short time they were dead. There
are instances of crofters on the main
land, when troubled with mice, going
the length of fetching earth from this
isle and sprinkling it on the ground
before building their stacks. This is
said to have the desired effect II all
cases.-Liverpool Daily Post.

Clay ON Sand successfully Tried. .

SANJ
Nm letter to the Johnston Moni
tor, Judge w. #. Eve, of Augusta,
Ca, gives some interesting in.
formation regarding the construc-
tlon, cost and wear of good roads"
made by putting clay on sand, or
sand on. clay, as the character Of the
rCadbed requires.
He reports that he has been claying
the sand roads Of Richmond County,
Ca, for twenty years, with result of
obtaining Every pleasant hard roads
that last FIVE years without rebuild
ing" The rule is to put down six
inches of clay, with two inches of sand
ON top Of 1t, and it is better to put on
the sand when the clay is wet. When
the right projections are used "a crust
is formed, which sheds the water, and
the road stays in good condition" The
roadbed should, of course, be first
graded properly, and raised in the
middle so as to shed water to the
drains. "In dry weather the clay-saud
road is ideal" which cannot be said
of sandy road. The cost of the con-
struction is in proportion to the dis
tance the clay has to be hauled.
There are seventy-five miles Of such
roads in Richmond County. 1t is
equally efficient to sand the clay roads.
Before 1880, Judge Eve says finally,
"many stretches for several miles along
our roads We're uncultivated, now they
are in high state Of cultivation, and
land values have handsomely in
creased"
Our correspondent at st. Matthew'S,
says "The Charleston News and Cour-
ier," reports one instance in which
such work has been extended to this
part of the State with highly satisfac-
tory results. Three miles of the
was "a very heavy road, with sand
so improved by ]. A. Banks. 1t
was "a very heavy road with
knee deep" but by the proper
admixture of clay has been made
hard and turnpiked, and will last
indefinitely. 1t is now "a thing Of
beauty and a joy forever" NJ. d. Kel-
Ter, one Of the road captains Of Orange
burg County, worked another mile
leading out of st. Matthews in the
same way, without any budget" or
special fund for the purpose, by hands
employed on regular road duty. p. j..
Tate has also done some good work.
All CT which goes to show that both
our deep sand and deep clay roads can
be greatly improved, with little in
telligently directed work, and at q
trihing cost. The wonder is that any
county or community in the State will
tolerate such roads for a day in such
conditions.
The suburban citizen., 1902-03-29
Good Roads.

The Ctates, counties and towns are
spending large sums Of money in build
ing good roads in certain sections, not
only for the better accommodation Of
the travelling public and the better
transportation of the products Of those
sections to market, but to increase the
value of the farms near which they
run by such Improvements.
In nearly all cases these roads are
built upon n modification of the Mac
Adam or the TelfOrd principle, con-
sisting of a foundation Of large stones,
then smaller stones and q coating Of
crushed stone when sucn material is
available. When such work is once
properly done these roads can be kept in
coed condition with a very small an
nual expense. 1t is estimated that on
a good gravel road properly made one
horse will easily haul as much as four
would upon an earth road VI one i'm
properly made, while on the we'll made
stone road he can again double his
capacity or draw four times as much
40 over the poor .oad.
The preliminary steps are the same
in all cases, first to secure good,
smooth and solid foundation Of even
grade, and well drained. The last is
Of great importance, as, If water is al
lowed TO soak through it below or
form above, and is not carried away,
the best foundation will soon give way.
The draining would improve many of
our common earth roads, which, be-
ing made soft by water underneath,
become almost i1pascable quagmlreo
at certain seasons of the year, or are
badly washed by heavy rains at others,
when there are not drains or cutters
70 carry away the surface water. When
finished the road needs to be made
hard and smooth by the use Of a
heavy roller. This is done at several
different times during the construc-
tion OF the stone roads.-Bo5ton
Budget.
The suburban citizen., 1902-03-29
Decent Roads Not Dear.

AS q rule the actual cost OF the decent
roads is not appreciably larger than
that Of the bad ones. The money is
used in one case and wasted in the
other. The plan suggested would not
increase as we understand it, the
amount collected for roads. 1t would
simply secure an immensely better
return for it. And this return would
be III the definite shape of economy
and profit for the residents of the towns
as well as for the community general.
ly. 1t has been estimated that i'm.
provement in reads steadily used
which should save only ten per cent
Of the wear and tear of horses and
wagons and of the time Of men EN-.
ployed would save to the average
farmer from $50 to $1O0 a year.
1t Is not at all unreasonable to infer
that the plan proposed would effect
such an improvement. AS it would
net cost the country residents a cent
more in expenditure, it ought to be
popular, IL it is once understood.

When Mrs. Baxter, Toms mother,
came to deaths door after six years of
accomplishing disappointment, pinch
ing poverty and unspoken yearning for
her absent son, the women said that it
was Toms disgrace and desertion that
had brought her gray hairs in sorrow
to the grave. Nobody knew just what
she really thought Of Toms treatment
Of herself. They knew that she would
not telorate abuse or him, and so his
name was never mentioned in her pres

the boy a stepfather almost as young
as himself, she never said so. If she
yet believed that under better condi-
tlons Tom might have grown into good
ly manhood, she made no sign. 1t was
too late. The boy had run away, first
to escape the holier-than-tho tyranny
Of his model stepfather, and second, to
