Reua,r Earth Roads Promptly.

It Is more convenient to look after
earth roads in spring and fall, but do
not allow them to take care Of them
selves for the remainder of the year.
The greatest common road need in the
United States is frequent inspection.
II this is given daily no extensive re-
pairs will be necessary, and instead Of
n road becoming worse it will improve
from day to day.
The road should be carefully leveled
Mt all times with drag, smoothing
harrow or any instrument that will fill
up the ruts, level down elevations and
keep the road so that water will run
of readily as soon as it falls. The
best method Of doing this must be de-
cided upon by each locality. In some
places the road grader Is used with
the best of results. The great diff
Guilty has been that sufficient road
graders are not available to keep all
the roads in any particular section in
the best OF condition. Drags so con-
structed rs to level the road and draw
the earth near the middle are very sat
isfactory and arc not at all expensive.
ANY farmer can make them for him
self.
It is very important to prevent water
standing on the surface, but 1t Is
equally important to see that it is also
removed from bitches alongside the
road. This can sometimes be accom-
plished by having good open drains.
but in most cases these should be sup
plemented by tile. Just where to place
the tile is frequently problem. In
the comparatively level sections Of the
Central West a tile in the bottom of
the ditch at either side Of the road is
probably all that is necessary.
II land inclines to wash badly this
tile should not be placed in the bottom
Of the ditch, for it will soon become un-
covered and ineffective. Place it either
nearer the road Or between the ditch
and the road fence. The depth for the
tile and the size to be used Will all de-
pend upon the amount Of water to, be
removed. the character Of the soil, etc.
Where the tile is very carefully laid
one inch OF fall to the 100 feet is sufli-
cient.

An anti contract labor law just
adopted by Nicaragua has taken the
peculiar form of making any laborer
who is out of employment liable to
twenty years Imprisonment. The
law defines laborer" as meaning any
person over 16 years old, male or fe-
male, without capital of 500.

A clever arrangement for at once
securing safety along trolley roads in
case of fallen wires or other accidents
is the invention of two electrical en-
gineers of London, England. The
device is contained within a cast iron
box. which may be fastened to troll
ley wire. 1t is held open by cord,
which is released by the breaking OF
a pane of glass. In case of an accident
all that is needed to make the Sec
tion safe is to break this pane OF glass.
The grounding of the line gives notice
at the power-house, and repairers can
be sent at once to the proper section.
So long as the line is grounded there
is no danger to the workmen in max
ing the repairs.

After tasting for day the cheap
rctoriety which came to her through
the publication Of sensational put
silly book and by the efforts of an
unusually energetic advertising man
ager, Mary McLane is going back to
her native Montana with the avowed
conviction that the East does not ap-
preciate genius. 1t is stated also
that Miss McLane has not made as
much progress in her studies as she ex-
pected. Her experience should be salut-
ary, exclaims the Philadelphia Rec
ord. She is young yet. anu there is
still time enough to learn that mere
eccentricity does not constitute genius,
or even talent, by long shot.

In Switzerland tar sprinkling' has
been adopted with success to lay the
dust on macadamiZed roads. The tar
is sprinkled hot on the bare macadam.
When it begins to cool fine sand is scat
tered over the section treated. and the
road is closed for traffic for few days.
At Geneva, after tar had been applied
for six weeks, hot weather failed to
soften it. nor was the covering dam
aged by frequent rains and the surface
of the roadway was not slippery. Tie
treatment cost about / cent per square
yard of the roadway, with tar at $500
Per ton.

An important part CT the craft OF
diamond-cutting is now done almost
exclusively by women. The first pro-
cess of diamond splitting, that is. sep
arating a large stone full OF flaws into
several fawless stones, is done by men.
Women then handle the diamonds,
which they round with little pear
shaped tools tipped with diamonds,
removing all angles. As some Of the
diamonds are so small that several
hundred of them weigh less than q
carat, the work is very hard on the
eyes. The last process ty which the
stones are facetted is done by steam.
