Wisconsin Good Roads Plan,

\ good roads wave has struck Wis
eonsin. and the result Of il will bee the
means OF placing the state Oh an
equality with any in the Union if only
half OF the work now being planned is
carried 10 a successful issue. as il prob
ably will be. Plans for good road
from Chicago to Milwaukee have been
taken up. There is now a cycle path
from Chicago TO Waukegan and from
Racine to KenOsha. From Milwaukee
TO South Milwaukee the road is in ex.
cellent condition. From this ii can be
seen that there are only short stretches
which are in need of work. The ex.
tension of the Sheridan drive along the
shore OF Lake Michigan from Chicago
to Milwaukee, a distance of eighty five
miles. is also contemplated.

If you are going to make garden
in the back yard, dig deep and loosen
up the soil thoroughly and then fer

you can't, go ahead and plant anyhow.

A NATIONAL NEED.
Some Views OF Peter y. ot~y ON Good
Roads

In an article on good roads. written
shortly before his death for the New
aork News. the late Peter J. Otey. rep
resentative from Virginia. said:
I'm my opinion the most important
question before the American people
today is that of good roads. Good
roads. like all other good things. cost.
Cheap articles are of inferior quality
hence our bad roads. III we are 10
have good roads. we must pay for
them. To pay for them We must be
taxed. Then. IL taxed. howg BY the
federal or state governments
Il am i'm favor OF the whole system
of roads in the country being placed
paid for out Of the United States treas
ury, and. having introduced bill look
ing To this end. am overwhelmed
with letters from all sections of the
country approving ii and inquiring
about il. This bill provides for the
direct appropriation OF 100000. 900 TO
be expended in the forty-five states
and four territories OF the United
States in proportion TO population. Ii
should become a continuing appropria-
ton till good roads become a network
over the land.
"Win anybody tell me why the
United States government should not
construct good roads i'm the various
states and territories? Is there any
difference in thus applying public
money and applying IL to creeks.
branches and rivers? Both are TO ex-
pedite transportation, to help inter
state and foreign commerce
THE concentration of population and
wealth i'm great cities would be largely
overcome if the country districts
should have their fair share of the APP
preparation Of public money and the
consequent Improvement of the coun-
try roads that would follow"

How "A Clever Plan For Bcautifyinl

How "a Clever Plan For BcautifyinE
Cleveland originated.
Several years ago Il flower loving citi-
zen OF Cleveland. o.. organised a club
for the ornamcntation of ,he home.
Out Of this small beginning has grown
the Cleveland Home Gardening asscci-
alton. otherwise known as the flower
crusade. Children are enlisted in the
movement. which is under the manage
ment of the association. This organiZa-
ton, says the Indianapolis Journal. dis

amines the gardens exhibited in com

number of which are offered The seeds
went 10 10000 homes last year. Not
only are homes beautitied by these
flowers. but schoolyards.
School children of Cleveland plarted
10000 packages of flower seed. weigh
ing CO. pounds, in the year 1901. These
same children planted 10000 packages
OF seed the year before. They are 20
ing TO plant 100000 packages this year.
The results are so evident that the
casual observer notes the change in the
smoky city. and il is known through
out the state as the city Of flowers"
Until recently American towns and
cities have been given over to negli-
Sence, partly because the necessity of
looking after the more practical and
immediate interests made attention to
aesthetics impossible and partly be-
cause people did not understand just
what their towns lacked or how to
remedy the deficiency. Both these con-
ditiOns are passing Education is tend
Ing in the direction of the artistic. and
the rising generation will have much
better IDEAS on the subject than prevail
at present. The flower movement is Il

NATIVE MEDICINE IN AMMAN.
Superstitious Practices of Mongoloid
Students and Physicians.

FROM the Lancet.
According to writer in the Archives de
Medicine Navajo for January no native of
AMMAN is allowed to practice medicine or
surgery unless he has studied under a
recognized master for at least ten years;
but Notwithstanding this prolonged curricu-
lum the results, measured by western STAN
dards are simply deplorable. 1t is not that
the Mongoloid medical students are accused
of abnormal idleness or of excessive stu
pidity, for, on the contrary, they are said
to be very industrious and, according to
their lights, by no means devoid of intelli-
gence. From their earliest days. however,
they become imbued with the groSsest
superstition, complicated by firm belief in
astrology, and naturally it is next to inn
possible for genuine knowledge to attain to
any useful dimensions in the midst of such
eXuberant weeds.
The Annamese pharmacopoeia is made up
of an immense number of exceedingly COM
pick formulae, and before the simplest or
the medicaments can be prepared the COM
FOUNDER has to perform the most perpleXing
ceremonies in order to insure its efficacy.
Among metals gold, silver and iron are in
high repute remedies, but the writer
does not make the mode of their admins
tration clear. Iron, he tells us, is used for
wounds caused by cutting instruments. In
the same connection il may also be noted
that zinc is employed for combating collie
as well for assisting parturition. In the
latter case, however, the attendant nails
the metal to the threshold of the patients
room.
Earth is freely administered in many dis
eases. When freshly stirred up by rats
it is believed to cure paralysis. cramps
and beri-beri, and it is likewise thought
capable of preventing the crying of infants
in utero. AS a comestible earth is freely
consumed by well-to-do people throughout
the country, but its votaries acknowledge
that it has no taste or nourishing proper
ties whatever. Habit, they say, is respon-
sible for the practice, but pregnant women
have been known to declare that the lit
tie cats'-ear tiles" as the earth tablets are
called, have as good flavor as pigs liver.
The Annamese do not hesitate to consume
the flesh of cattle that have died from in
fictitious diseases, and also freely eat fowls
that have died from cholera or diphtheria.
Hydrophobia in Annamese estimation can
be communicated to a human being if a
mad dog should bite his shadow, but. hap
PLY, the liver of the animal is sovereign
cure! The ''stercoraceous" remedies used
by the Annamese are more repulsive. If
possible, than those Of the Hon. Robert
Boyle. but on the other hand. it is pleasant
to find that Strawberries fortify the five
organs of the circulation. cure consump-
tion and restore youth to old people.
