everywhere there is ease of transporta-
ton and of communication and the
Joy of living in the country without
feeling absolutely cut off from access
to the city.
Nowhere is this movement for good
roads more remarkable, according to
the Manufacturers Record, than in the
south country. This begins in the re-
gion south of the Potomac with the
projection and construction of interur-
ban trolley lines. The trolley lines,

mination to make the roads suitable
for travel at all seasons of the year.
Nothing can be told old soldiers of
the nature of Virginia roads In winter.
They simply are more famous or infa-
nous, as the case may be, than other
roads because so much more of history
has been acted over them. But every
where throughout the south, as the
Record shows, there are a general awak-
ening and universal demand for in
terurban railways and with that Il like
demand for the highways with the
good road that is always ready for
business and IS invaluable for every
country that builds it.

GRANDMA'S BERRY PIE.

like to go to Grandmas when vacation
days come round,
She lets me play in the hay and roll upon

She's good to little boys like me, and gives
EN- lots to eat,
And says she doesn't mind it if a fellow g
tooth is sweet.
Her things are always homemade and
they're better than you buy.
You ought to taste, for instance, some of
Grandmas berry pie.
She keeps it in the pantry, way up on the
second shelf,
And when you're good she tells you you
can go and help yourself;
/ climb up on the barrel and cut great
big slice,
And when the red juice oozes out, my!
doesn't it look nice?
l try to mind my ps and as as Grandma
says ] should.
If your reward is berry pie, it pays you to
be good.

pool for pike.
And Grandma fills my dinner pail with

LIFTING WITH MAGNETS.
Great Commercial Tasks and
Delicate Optic Operations.

One of the practical uses of a mag
net, but to those Immediately con-
cerned a highly important use, is that
in which it is sometimes employed to
withdraw small pieces of iron from
such out of the way places as the hui
man eye. Another use of the attractive
force of magnetism on a much larger
scale was that to which it was put
by Edison in his magnetic ore separa-
tor, in which the ore, previously
crushed to a fine powder, is dropped
down a chute past the poles of pow
erful electromagnetic, in passing
which the iron particles of the ore
are DETECTED to one side, while the
non-magnetic stone dust continues
undeflected down the chute. Still an
other instance of the employment of
magnetism in a small way is that in
which magnetized tack hammer is
used in the manufacture of straw
berry baskets on a large scale in con-
junction with a mechanical device
which presents the tacks, one at a
time and head up, to the operative,
thereby greatly Facilitating ms work.
1t is a far cry from lifting tack
by means of magnetism to the lifting
of massive iron and steel plates
weighing four, six and twelve tons
by this same force, which is now be-
ing done every wOrkday in number
of large steel works. Electro-mag-
netism, of course, is utilized, the
form of the magnet being usually
rectangular for this work and pre-
senting fiat surface to the plates
lifted. The magnets are suspended
by chains from cranes, and pick up
the plates by simple contact and
without the loss of time consequent
to the adjustment of chain and hooks
in the older method. 1t is also found
that the metal plates can be lifted by
the magnets while still so hot that
it would be-impossible for the men
to handle them.-Cassier's Magazine

At the present time Germany is far
beyond other countries in the mill
tary use of pigeons. There is a big
loft at Cologne of about 400 to 600
pigeons, which is in direct communi-
cation with Berlin. and there are
similar lofts at all the big fortresses.
1t is generally reckoned that 200
birds are needed for one section
that IS to say. for birds required to
fly in one direction only-and an ad.
ditional $50 birds for each new sec
ton. Thus a loft of 500 pigeons is
necessary for communication in three
directions. In the case of siege, and
allowing for accidents, military au-
thorities regard-an establishment of
200 pigeons as sufficient to keep up
communication with the outside
world for six months. The number

BRIGHT INDIAN GIRLS.
Two Daughters Who Are Thor
OughIy Civilized.

Quanah's mother, Cynthia Ann Par
ker, was a white girl captured in Texas
by the Comanches when on one of
their bloody mauraUding expeditions.
She grew up in the Indian camp the
idol of the tribe, and at an early age
became the cherished wife of their
chief, Nocona, father of the present
chief, Quanah, refusing to return to
her people when the opportunity pre-
sented itself in later years.
The chief reveres the memory of his
white mother, and contrary to the I'M
written law of his people, possesses a
handsome life-size oil painting of her,
which hangs over the organ in the par
Tor of his comfortable home near Fort
Sill, Okla, the home of the Kiowa and

The building above foundation is of

papered and weatherboarded with
half-inch siding, and the gables
shingled. The roof is shingled with
cypress shingles. All inside wood
work is of cypress, filled and hard
oiled in natural color. All outside
woodwork is of white pine, painted

1t is said on the reservation that he
walks both roads'-the paleface road
of progress and backward trail of the
redskins During his checkered careel
he has been so fortunate, or unfortu-

was according to the old ruling which
permitted polygamy among the BIan-

practice, and from now on "Lo" will
have to content himself with one wife

odd children. Many of them are well
educated, but the subject of this sketch
carries off the palm among the Par
