onally to bottom of first cut Saw the
other cuts in same way. Place these
notched pieces parallel about three
feet ten inches apart, notched sides up.
Spike one of the by IL planks to long
notches at rear end CID, then spike the
other planks on in same way, overlap
ping each other like siding on house.
Turn over, bore two fve-eighths-inch
holes 80 inches apart in front plank and
put on two clevises with rings. Attach
chains two feet long for whiffletree for
three horses. This planker can be
drawn across plowed field when dry
while the driver stands astride the mid
die runner. When the ground is rough
and clods are hard, the driver can
change the weight of his body from one
foot to the other, producing zig-zag
movement, which will add much to the
effectiveness of the work. The clods
will be crushed, greatly reducing evap-
grafton of the stored moisture of the
soil and subsoil. If the soil is inclined
to drift with the wind, plank east and
west and leave three feet implanted at
each passage. This projecting uneven
surface forms a wind and snow break;
and in the spring, if on fall or winter
blowing, the interstices will be found
filled with the drifting soil. For the con-
servation of moisture in the soil, the
planker is better than a much more
costly roller.
When passing from one field to an
other it is turned over and drawn on
the runners. otherwise the sharp cor
ners will be worn off. The two by six
notched pieces are sloped off at the front
ends and can be used also to mark off
corn and potato land. When the land
Is freshly plowed and moist spade
should be carried to clean when clogged.
Otherwise it will draw very heavy on the
team.

Convict. as Road Builders.

In the building of good roads lies
the solution of the convict problem,
says the Washington Post. The con-
victs we have always with us. The
crop is constant as it is abundant
Why not use them to construct endur-
ing turnpikes instead of cooping them
UP in prison shops or leasing them out
to private spectators in human flesh
and blood? In the one case we put
criminals in competition with honest
labor. In the other, we traffic in scan
dial, cruelty and Generalization. Were
the able-bodied convicts throughout
the country employed upon the public
roads as we suggest, we should have
within ten years as excellent highways
as those of France, Germany or Eng
land. Moreover it would be legiti-
mate employment that would operate
injury to none and benefit to all.

REST.

There is a little grove beside the hill
Where aspens shake and thrill
With silver stems beneath their glimmer-
ing green
Against the pines dark screen.
And all day long the rain unceasing
weayes,
Ripples of light among their tremulous
leaves,
And an day long the moss against their
feet
Tufted and starred. and sweet.
Flashes in Pickering splendor with the
crown
OF diamond drops swept down.
Through pillared arches or the forest
aiSeS,
Sacred untrodden miles,
The yoiceless throngs in this Gods temple
dim
Bow to the rains soft hymn;
Walls on whose pile nor axe nor hammer
wrought
The Mastar-builders thought
Unchiseled font and granite altar stair
Wait on the worthless prayer.
And overhead against brooding sky
The priestly pine trees high
With lifted hands invoke on vale and
crest
1nfinitudes of rest.

MIRACLE OF THE SEA.
Ship Captain Sealed Up In Wreck Elk
lists for Twelve Days and
Is Finally Rescued.

A wonderful story was lately told to
the maritime court at Danzig by the
captain of the steel sailing ship Erndte,
reports the London Leader. He left
Memel with a cargo of planks on April
Is for Oldenburg. Capt. Engellandt,
who is also the owner, remained at the
wheel during a gale which overlook the
vessel next night, and at four in the
morning went to his cabin to change
his wet clothes. He had just got into
dry underclothing when the vessel tip
ped over, and he found himself stand
ing on the roof of the cabin, of which the
sea had Theoretically closed the door.
By unloosening the boards OF what
was now the floor he got into the hold,
which contained only loose sails. For
tunately some shelves of a high cup
board standing in the cabin remained
intact, and from them he collected
two tins of condensed milk, three
pounds of prunes, some rice, sugar and
sausage. He also found hammer.
For IL days the man lived in his prison,
eating as sparingly as possible and
drinking sea water, which appears to
have had no ill effect. He spent his free
time in hammering on the steel bottom
of the ship to attract the attention OF
chance passing vessels, and slept quite
well at nights, for, after the first few
days, the sea was smooth. He knew
when it was day, for dim light pene-
trated the water.
On the twelfth day the Norwegian
steamer Aurora saw the wreck and sent
boat to take it in tow. Engellandt
had fallen asleep, but hearing footsteps
over his head he began knocking with
his hammer and shouting. The Aurora's
men returned to their ship for tools and
bored a hole through the wrecks keel,
where they had heard the knocking.
When they drew out their borer
mans finger followed, and they soon
learned that Eigellandt had food for
four days more and wished to be towed
to land, for it was impossible to re-
lease him in the open sea. He also de-
sired to have the hole plugged again, as
he was afraid that the loss of air would
cause the ship to sink lower in the wa
ter.
The Aurora towed the wreck safely

cradle difficulty, it was attached to

POPULAR ENTHUSIASM.
ment Cannot Be Secured, Says
Col. j. H. Brigham.

Col. ]. H. Brigham, assistant secre-
tary of agriculture at Washington, is
not only giant in size, but he is
big man in practical common sense.
In a recent speech at good roads
convention he said some things that
everybody ought to read. Among
other good things he said:
Il see no reason why the genera!
government should not appropriate a
certain sum of money to be expended
in this great work. OF course tie
states, counties and local communities
should be expected to cooperate. A
little aid from the general government
would be a wonderful encouragement
to all the people.
81 hear a number of speakers here
saying that we must stir up congress
Now 1 want to impress you with the
idea that we must first educate the
people. When the people are in favor
of national aid in building good roads,
congressman will be in favor of it,
and not until then. They are not go
ing ahead of the people.
movements gets started, it acquires
wonderful momentum. l heard a
story of two farmers who stood be-
side railroad for the first time. On
the track stood an engine with long
train of heavy cars. Said one farmer
to the other: Jim, she'll never be
able to start it. it isn't possible
Finally the steam was turned on and,
with. much putting, creaking and
groaning, the great train began to
move very slowly, then faster and
faster, until finally with whirl Of
dust and roar like thunder, 1t swung
out of sight around distant curve.
Then the farmer, drawing long
breath, remarked: Jim, by the Eter-
nal, they'll never be able to stop it ,
So will it be with the good roads
movement. Once let it get thorough
ly started and nothing will be able to
stop it. or stand before it, till its
great work is done.
81 see no reason why the general
government should not reach out its
strong arm and help the people Of
this country get better means of COM
munication. l want to see this move
ment pushed with all the energy that
is characteristic of the American peo-
pie. When we undertake to do any
thing in this country we do it, and do
it well. We have started out for bet
ter roads, and we are going forward
on this line till we have as good roads
as can be found anywhere in the
world"
In these remarks Col. Brigham has
sounded the keynote of the good roads
campaign. The masses of the people
must be aroused and educated. Or
ganization is the principal means to
be employed. Conventions should be
held, and associations should be or
ganized in all sections of the country.
1t is not enough to get out a crowd
of professional road reformers to
make speeches and pass resolutions.
The object in view'is to interest prac-
teal and progressive men in all walks
of life, to arouse the Indifferent, to
convince the directors, and to get up
a wave of popular enthusiasm for bet
ter roads Until this is done no i'm
portant results will be accomplished.

When Lydia E. Pinkham's Rene

all over the country frowned upon
their curative claims, but as year

little group of women who had been
cured by the new discovery has
since grown into a vast army of
hundreds of thousands, doubts and
skepticisms have been swept away
as by a mighty flood, until to-day
the great good that Lydia E.

among the women of America is
attracting the attention of many of
our leading scientists, physicians
