Suggestions concerning coffee max

portion of the vast community that
daily consumes this beverage and the
latest is to the effect that earthen
ware alone should be employed for
coffee making, if the best and most
hygienic results are to be obtained.

THE TWO CHURCHILLS.

The recent announcement that
Winston Churchill is about to enter
the field of politics has created re-
newed interest in the author of The
Crisis, and incidentally, the paral-
lei between his career and that of the
Englishman who bears the same
name. st. Louis claims the distinc-
ton of being the birthplace of the
American and it is said that he wrote
his first novel there, and was also
married in that city.
The two men are of nearly the same
age; the American not quite 81, and
the Englishman just %. The per-
sonal and family names are the same
only, while the American has but two
the Englishman may write himself
Winston Leonard Spencer Churchill.
Both are trained in the arts of war,
the one at the Naval academy at
Annapolis, the other at the Navy
school at Sandhurst
Both have written of war, the one
in the guise of fiction, retelling what
has already been told by history, and
the other in the guise of personal
narrative, writing down what he him
self has actually seen. Both have
tried hand at journalism, the one
editing the Army and Navy Jour
nal, " and the Cosmopolitan Mag
azine," and the other sending back
to the London Daily MALI some of
the best copy" that came from any
of the correspondents in South At
RIGA.
The American Winston has written
three novels, at least two of which
have enjoyed phenomenal sales, where
as the English Winston's only try in
fiction, the story of 'Savrola" achiev-
ed no fame at all. But the grandson
of the seventh Duke of Marlboro may
yet put his name to a volume which
shall figure among the best selling
books of the day. "

way into the House of Commons and

AGRICULTURAL.
TO BUILD GOOD EARTH ROADS

TO BUILD GOOD EARTH ROADS.
Notwithstanding all that has been
done or proposed in the way of road
improvement, the real problem for the
next twenty-five years will continue
to be how to make good dirt roads.
Model roads, under the Higbee- Arm
strong act, or any other possible act,
will not cover the State of New York
with macadamized roads inside of
seventy-fve years. The change will
not be perceptible to the majority of
farmers inside of twenty-five years.
OF course, this kind of work should
be pushed forward with earnestness
and liberality. The trolley meanwhile
will go great ways to supplement
the macadam but both together can
not lift us out of the slough. We must
study the dirt road question, and not
consider it as of little Importance.
County engineers, taking charge under
the pay system, ought to make So
luton of the question, which the old
pathmaster system did not, and never
could have done a good dirt road
could never be made by surface drain
ing. 1t was no more possible-and
never will be possible-than to make
dry meadows by surface draining.
The farmer knows that he must
underdrain his land and do it thor
oughly. But if you go into a highway
and drive a spade down in the middle
of your road you will find that the
crust even in the dryest weather is
not more than six inches i'll thickness.
How long a rain will it take to soften
this or break it up entirely? The re-
suit is mud holes, and in wet spell
almost impossible roads, and this has
been the history of our country roads
ever since we took, possession of the
land and laid them out. 1t would con-
tinue to be the story forever under the
pathmaster system. What is needed
is understanding as well as surfae
draining. In some cases a main ditch
along the center of the road, thorough
ly laid in six or eight inch tile, would
be sufficient. In other cases it would
need the French system of tile bitches
on each side. European model roads
have these deep bitches four feet deep
on each side of the road and in some
cases there is an additional ditch down
in the center, all tiled and covered.
The expense of such a dirt road
would, of course, be vastly less than
a macadam or telford road, and it
would pay for itself III the saving of
a single year to the farmers adjacent.
There could be II objection to thor
oughly laid stone drain, where tile is
costly and stone plenty, In other
words, drain your roads as you drain
your meadows, and they will be pass
able driveways and haulways at all
seasons of the year. We note that
where trolleys are built they improve
the drainage, and do it with covered
drains E. p Powell, Clinton, N. Y

THE HERALD'S PICTURES.

From the Daily (NewburyporD News.l
1t is an opinion of long standing
with me, and l have heard the same
opinion expressed by many others,
that the illustrative work of the Bos-
ton Herald, both daily and Sunday,
is among the very best thing that is
produced by the newspaper press of
the country. When one views the
illustrations in the Sunday edition of
The Herald he is moved to wonder
that such beauty of detail can be pro-
duced by the methods that are neces-
sarily existing in papers of this char
acter with speedy presses and great
circulation. When the half tone pro-
cess was first utilized in newspaper
There is increased wonderment today
that The Herald has carried the ro-
cess so near to artistic perfection.
And III the illustrating of events of
daily interest The Herald is always at
the front. In the bowling season
thousands of admirers of the sport
follow the depicting of the league
games by the clever artist who does
that work, and who has the faculty of
playing upon the peculiarities of each
member of the league. | know of
some fascinatingly interesting scrap
books that have been made from these
cartoons, and they are source of con-
tinual delight to the owners and their
friends. Then, as the other sports
come along, there is the same inter
etsing interesting and skilful portray
al of the more interesting features Of
the contest until those concerned in
the sport have come to look to the
Herald illustrations as something not
TO be omitted from their daily life.
All this eminence has not been
without the expenditure of thought,
time and money, and it is needless to
say The Herald's art department is
one of the best equipped in the coun-
try, and that it had at its head one
who not only understands what people
desire in this direction, how to pro-
duce the best results in art and satire,
but who has the capacity by his con
slant urbanity and courtesy of gath
ering about him most loyal men who
strive persistently for the good of their
journal, and with constantly increas-
ing success.

THEY LYNCHED HIM.
