Diet and OnsprinE e.

A veteran lumberman told the fol-
lowing story the other day. 1t may be
recognized by some as familiar ac-
Quaintance in new clothes:
"The commissary of subsistence in
a large lumber camp in the northwest
drove $50 miles to get a change of fare
and returned with two crates of live
poultry. Grain being out of the ques-
tiOn, the fowls were fed on cOrnmeal
made into dough. That proving very
expensive. our commissary mixed saw
dust with it in the proportion of three
parts of meal to one part Of sawdust.
The chickens ate as usual, and the
hens began to lay.
by and by as the meal grew scarcer
the proportion of sawdust was increas-
ed until the food became a mixture of
three parts of that woody product to
one of meal. One of the older hens
manifesting n desire to brood. twelve
eggs were assigned'tO her. and at the
end of twenty-one days what do you
suppose she hatched? Eleven wood
peckers and chick with a wooden
leg."-New York Press.

HIGHWAYS OF EUROPE.
France Leads In system of Building
md Maintenance.


Two hundred years ago England had
the worst roads in the world because
the peaSantry living on the roads alone
were required to work them. says the
American Asphalt Journal. In speak
ing of them Macauiay says that Il
route connecting two great towns which
have a large and tiourishing trade with
each other should be maintained at the
cost of the rural population scattered
between them is manifcstly 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 good system
was introduced"
Every class now contributes to the
maintenance of the road SySteN in Eng
land. The French have probably the
most efficient laws end regulations in
the world for the building and repair
ing of highways. The minister of pub
lie works has the general Supcrintcnd-
ence of all roads and ways by land and
by water. There are four classes of
road recognized by law-namely, a.
national. (2y departmental, G) military,
(4) crossroads. National roads are built
and kept up by the national treasury.
Departmental roads are a charge upon
the departments through which they
pass. and part of the military roads are
kept up by the government and pat
by the departments through which the
roads pass.
The crossroads are kept up by the
communes, though sometimes in thinly
populated regions these communcs re-
ccive assistance from the government
especially when these roads become Of
Importance.
The national roads are paved like a
street. having an average width of 52la
feet. The departmental roads are 80
feet wide, and the military and cross
roads are of variable width. Piles of
broken stone are placed ut convenient
distances, and n man is constantly em-
ployed in repairing each section.

1t was formerly thought that the
processes of grinding and polishing
glass were continuous. but closer in
vestigation Of the subject has proved
that this is not the case. Glass grind
ing is effected by the use of emery
powder of various degrees of tincncss.
But 1t has been shown that this grind
ing cannot be carried beyond a certain
point. however fine n powder may be
used In fact. a continuation of it un-
does the work and breaks the surface
up again.
The most finely ground plate. If
largely mngnitied. Is shown to be COW
cred with tiny bits which no grinding
will remove. The work is therefore
continued with rouge carried on pad
Of resin. which gradually smoOths
down the elevations between the pits.
HydrO1uoric acid gas cOrrodes glass
very rapidly. but a weak solution of it
melts away the rOughened surface and
leaves fine polish underneath. This
method is used where very fine adjust
ments of the surface are requircd-as,
for instance. in lenses for telescopes
and microscopes.

In their greeting was the brevity of
good fellowship. He swung into the
saddle. and she smiled at his strength
and agility. Surely. she thought. if he
were not her preserver he had been
most wonderfully endowed to play the
part She was satisfied to believe in

BURDEN OF BAD ROADS.
Vast Expense Thc> Annually Place
on tac Farmer.

In a coun.r.. as large as that in
,tS producin.: IA giuns wi,!r!! separated
from the markets which they serve.
the matter of transportation l. one of
vast Importance. writes lion. Martin
Dodge in Forum. This applies particu-
larly to our agricultural products: for.
while II great portion both of our man
ufacturcd output and of our farm
growth must he moved long distances
by rail or water before reaching Il mar
kct. practically all of the latter must
also be transported for greater or less
distances over the lrlhlic highways.
The question of marketing these agri-
cultural products, amounting i'll the
United States to 81 .OUO. .OOO. 900 annual
ly, on terms that the dealer can afford
to pay and the grower to accept, often
reduces itself to Il question of cheap
and quick delivery: in other words to
a question of economical transporta-
ton.
AS far as the railways and steamship
lines are concerned, this problem has
been dealt with very intelligently and
satisfactorily. Skill and money have
been applied without stint to the pro-
vision of enlarged means of convey
ancc, improved ways and increased
power These influences. under the
stress of strong competition, have re-
duced long distance freight rates to a
reasonable level.
There is one phase of this tranSporta-
tion problem, however. which has ap-
preached no satisfactory solution. That
is the matter of wagon road haul. AS
has already been said. while the great
er part of our farm products travels by
steamship, canal or railway for por-
ton of the journey to market, virtually
all of them are conveyed for some dis
tance over the public highways. 1t is
unfortunate that this is often the most
expensive part of their journey. 1t has
been shown by mathematical demon
stration that it costs more to move a
bushcl of wheat or Il ton of hay ten
miles over the average country roads
of the United States than to transport
the same burden 800 miles by railway
or 1000 miles by steamship. 1t has
happened many times in different parts
of the country that farmers have let
crops 90 to waste because the cost OF
hauling them to the nearest market or
railway shipping point over wrctchcd
and i'll kept roads amounted to more
than could be realized for them after
ward: whereas, if good roads on which
heavy loads could be hauled had been
at hand. the same crops could have
been marketed at Il small profit to the
producer, while the economic gain re-
Sulting from their application to useful
purposes would have been very consid-
cradle.

"There was no room for me upon
your horse. was there? Besides. | did
not stop the horse"
oh" she laughed gayly, believing in
him anew. rejecting his disclaimer as
he knew she would.
And yet She bit her lip with veX-
alton. She wished that Vincent would
avow the deed more earnestly. She
wished the glory of his deed rested on
something more substantial than the
testimony of her younger and more rO-
mantle sister Evelyn. Moreover, she
could not forget the persistent skepti-
Vincent as n fraud.
She tried to put her doubts aside.
She secuted the notion that Vincent
would stoOp to false pretense. And yet
he smiled SO oddly!
AS though enraged by the lingering
of autumn. long blasts of chilling wind
swept down from the west and north,
shriekng and roaring among the hills
and proclaiming the reign of another
king throughout a conquered land. The
gaunt remains OF the wild flowers were
beaten down upon the face Of the
fields by angry scouts of the tempest
and hung quivering in one terrified di-
rection. Across the ground like routed
armies innumerable companies of dried
leaves scurried madly before the fierce
invader. The mOurnful trees bent low.
AT last the dusty road was mottled
with raindrops. aud in the air was the
Odor of moistencd earth.
Elaine was riding ahead. and her
pace was slow. Behind ber Vincent
marveled that she did not press her
mare to n faster gait. for they were
still far from place of shelter.
On the brow of n sharp declivity
she checked the restive Kitty. Below

Elaine's whip fell simultaneously. and
the high strung beast rose upon her
rear hoofs. stationary. but a-tremble.
The clean fore limbs hung motionless
In the air.
Vincent cried out hoarscly. but
Elaine again used the whip. and the
gathering energies of the animal were
released like the second bolt. which
suddenly rent the bulging clouds with
q streak of flame. Eluding him. the
maddened mare plunged down the
grade.' A cry from Elaine was borne
back to him. The mare was beyond
her control.

WORK THAT PAYS.
The Best Way 20 Advertise a Town
Is to Hcautify 1t.

II costs little more to make o city
pleasing to the eye than to make II
ugly. and n beautiful city attracts resi-
dents Of desirable sort and Is
standing advertisements 1t is not mere
sentiment that is leading the railways
to begin the beautifying of their sta
tions and grounds; it pays. 1t Is not
fJr sentiment that railway and steam
ship lines advertise the natural beau
ties of their routes; beauty represents
cash to them.
Clean streets, tasteful buildings.
charming prospects. are valuable assets
for city. To keep still to the utilita-
rian side. cleanliness makes for health.
The sanitary value of the American
cleansing of Cuba Is only an extreme
instance of what is true everywhere.
Cleanliness bcgets cleanliness, and the
people in a clean. well ordered city are
more likely to live clean, well ordered
lives.
In many other ways such general
striving for bcttermcnt is profitable.
1t Stirs civic pride. 1t makes better
citizens. The more people possess to
be proud of in their home city the
more they are willing to do for it
Moreover, there is n strong moral uD-
lift in good surroundings. An inspiring
environment. whether of nature or of
art. reacts irresistibly upon the individ.
ual.
And beyond all this is the fact that
beautiful surroundings beautify and
enrich life. None of us would wish to
be condemned to the dull monotony Of
a sand bank in place of the splendid
panorama of hills that girt this city or
to the ignoble squalor of a row of 1000
chccrlcss factory tencments, all pre-
cisely alike and grim with the smoke
Of factory chimncys. Our natures crave
something better and the more bcauti-
full and varied The surroundings the
richer and plcasanter Is life.
