held society were 1oosened. Gov

Using straw to Improve Roads.

The farmers of Walla Walla county,
Wash, are trying the experiment OF
laying their roads with straw to i'm
prove them, says the New York Trib-
une. Every fall the highways become
deep with dust, making travelling hard
on man and beast. Heavy rains meant
mud, and the dust could not be re-
moved without destroying the road
way. 1t then occurred to an enterpris-
ing individual that if all Of the farmers
would contribute straw and all hands
assist in laying it on the roads most
travelled there would be great change
for the better, The experiment was q
decided success. The farmers turned

them Familiarity by their names,

The excuse given for this,

The people left the church

an unusual phenomenon in the
South.
The next morning the earth
was covered with four inches
of snow that glistened in the
sun with strange reddish hue.
On examination it was found that
every snowdrop had in it tiny
red spot that looked like
drop of blood. Nothing of the
kind had ever been seen before
in the history of the world, so

One of the last acts of Governor
Macon whose office was now un-
der the control of the military
commandant at Charleston S. c.,
was to issue a proclamation, ap-
pointing a day of fastingand pray

ruin that threatened the state I'M
der the dominion of Legree and
the negroes.
1t was a memorable day in the
history of the people. In many
places they met in the churches
the night before, and held all
night watches and prayer meet
ing. They felt that a pestilence
worse than the black death of the
middle ages threatened to extin-
guish civilization.
The Baptist church at Ham
bright was crowded to the doors
with white faced women and sor-
rowful men.
About 10 o'clock in the morn

sleepless night of prayer and
thought, the preacher arose to
address the people. The hush
OF death fell as he gazed silently.

How pale his face! They had
never seen him So moved with
passions that stirred his utmost
soul. His first words were adj

to see the people before him.

dwelling place in all generations.
Before the mountains were
brought forth or ever Thou hadst
formed the earth and the world,

The people instinctive1y bowed
their heads, fired by the subtle
quality of intense emotion the
tones of his voice communicated
and many of the people were al
ready in tears.

finest quality, we are now bottling the
same under our own supervision.
The frequent use Of adulterants and
substitutes for malt and hops In the
manufacture Of malt liquors has re-
suited In an inquiry for an article Of
domestic manufacture, wholly free
from anything of harmful or deleteri'

commend Its use to all. The failure
hitherto to obtain such IN article has
led consumers to purchase imported
goods at high price.
Therefore we are prepared to place
on the market bottled ale and porter

respect to the imported, at much
lower price.
Our goods being manufactured from
the choicest barley malt and the best

achievement of archaeologists in many
cases. But to learn the food and hab-

a new feat of science. An English
journal gives an interesting account

of the Royal Chronological society OF
Great Britain in this direction. Upon
the teeth of cncient skulls he noticed
a thick coating of tartar, and, dis
solving this in acid. he discovered min
