BRICK TRACK ROADS.
Bureau of Public Road Inquiry Claims
Important Advantages for
That System.

The director of the bureau of public
road inquiry under the department Of
agriculture, after an exhaustive study
of the subject has come out strongly
In favor of the brick track" road. II
Is estimated that the roads cost the
people of this country about $3.50, 900, 900
annually, good part Of which is sunk
in mud roads with very poor results.
The advantages claimed for the brick
track road are as follows; 1t can be
built far more cheaply than stone
road; four or five times as heavy load
can be hauled ON it with the same team
force; they can be maintained for about
one-tenth of the expense for repairs;
they prevent the formation of ruts. dust
and mud, which result from the grind
ing of wagon wheels on stone roads, and
of mud holes and dust, which occur on
country roads; the material for their
construction is also much more easily
accessible in most parts OF the country
than that for stone roads The require
ments for a first-class highway are as
follows A smooth, non-wearing sur
face for wheels; a firm, non-slipping
footing for horses; low cost for building
and repairs; and absence of dust, mud
and noise II will be seen that the brick
track road comes nearer fulfilling these
requirements than anything yet in
vented.

The Treating Habit.
II Costs Us Victims Many Dollar and Many a
Pang,

Is it not a fact that men spend in
treating amounts that they would hest
tate TO give away no matter how de-
serving the charity2 1t is trait Of
human character that comes through
this all absorbing disposition to "hold
your end up" when with a friend.
Hundreds of men take thousands Of
drinks that they do not want and other
hundreds pay for thousands that are
not desired.
Two men meet, and one says:
"Mighty glad to see you, Let's have
something" Neither generally needs
or even wants a drink. But the mar
who offers it wants to show that he is
generous. He takes this method of
proving that he is glad to meet his
friend. The friend after he has taken
the drink that he did not want to
prove that he, too, is good fellow.
insists upon second round.
The German custom of entering
saloon, taking a drink and paying for
it and for no others, if adopted in
America would prove blessing.
The American custom of treating is
decidedly a curse. What we do for
friendships sake costs us many dol
lar and many pang.-.SpringfeM

A VATICAN MYSTERY.
Fisherman's Ring Said to Have
Been Lost or Stolen.
symbol of PnpnI Authority which
Has Been Worn by Pontfns for
Hundreds of Years-Lost
Twice Before.

The celebrated fisherman's ring,
symbol of papal authority, has disap-
peared. Authorities at the vatican
at Rome say they expect to find it
among Leo's possessions in the apart
ments recently occupied by him, but
fears are expressed that the ring was
stolen from the pope's dead hand
The authorities say Leo hid the
ring.
When the cardinal camarlengo Ger.
titles the death of a pope he receives
the ring of the fisherman from the
chamberlain of his holiness. 1t Is
then destroyed in the presence of all
the cardinals at the first meeting of
the sacred college held after the pope's
death.
But when Cardinal Oreglia, the
present camarlengo, had certified to
the death of Leo XIII. Mgr. Bisletti
was a prey to the deepest despair and
had to admit that the ring had disap-
peared Cardinal Oreglia, who had,
as is the custom. brought his declara-
ton of having received the ring from
the papal chamberlain, all written out,
had to put it back in his pocket.
The fsherman's ring is known to
have been lost twice before.

at Simancas, near Valladolid, Spain,

Spanish ambassador at Rome, to Phil

him in a purse, and he discovered
that he had been robbed of it by a
cup-bearer."
In September, 1899, the late Pope
Leo was one day insistently asked
and, yielding to curiosity, he granted
it, whereupon the man entered, and,
kneeling. said:
Your holiness. l have to restore to
you what has been a loss not only to
you but to the world"
After these words the man gave the
pope the fisherman's ring, which he
had found. Pope Leo looked at 1t in
surprise and then, solemnly putting
1t on his finger, said:
"The thanks of the church are due
to you, my son. shall see that you
are rewarded"
The next day the man called at the
treasury and received three dollars.
On two occasions the ring was
taken from the papacy by force. In
1897 the French republicans, invading
the papal states. despoiled Plus vi. of
all his valuables. among them the
fisherman's ring. 1t was returned the
next day.
When Plus VII. was kidnapped in the
middle of the night and was made to
give up this ring, the pope gave it up
after breaking it in two pieces, which
were kept in Paris until returned to
Rome by Louis XVIII.
The ring Of the fisherman was the
official seal used by the pope in all
his personal documents and private
letters. The origin of the ring was a
custom adopted many centuries ago
by the popes in order to keep alive
the memory of the poor fisherman of
Galilee Every one of the popes since
that time has sworn and used a signet
ring which bore the device of st
Peter seated in n boat and drawing a
net from the waves. The authorities
as to the date of the origin Of the
custom are not agreed Mabillon
claims that no evidence exists as TO
the precise date, Bongratia says 1t is
believed that Peter himself used this
ring, The first mention of the ring
occurs In a letter of Clement w,
written in 1865. Martin ", who was
elected in 1417, left three briefs, all
scaled by the ring of the fisherman.
Eugene w., his successor, also left

Gaetano Cenni wrote treatise on the
ring and published it in Rome The
custom of destroying the seal of the

considerable antiquity. Each pope has

Farmers organizations are a neces-
sity. In order to meet successfully or
ganized power the farmers must form
thorough organizations among them
selves, and there Is no national and
complete organization except the
grange. 1t must be either this or moth
ing, and farmers themselves must de-
eide the question, and 1t has no middle
ground, simply two sides from which
to choose. One is to unite in organiza-
tion and cooperative work In self de-
fense and protection and the other Is
to keep aloof from organization, which
virtually acknowledges that we are IN
capable of self government and there
fore prefer masters to control us, ana

Especial Correspondence
These meetings afford rare opportu-
nifty to disseminate grange principles.
Permit me to suggest to those having
local charge of these meetings that no
effort be spared to make them of as
great value to the Order and the
public as possible. The meetings
should promote social and fraternal
greetings and extend the acquaintance
Of members and others, with all the
good people in n radius Of twenty or
twenty-five miles of each meeting. To
secure large attendance and the best
people, system must be employed. The
Pomona, or subordinate grange having
the meeting In charge should appoint
active and energetic committees-frst,
on programme; second. on arrange
ments and grounds; third, on music:
fourth, on advertising, invitation and
printing; fifth, on reception.
Every detail OF the meeting should be
thought out and provision made to
make the meeting pleasing, entertain
ing, enjoyable and profitable to all who
may attend. If the committee on in
vitation should have printed a circular
letter cordially inviting those to whom
It may be addressed and their families
to attend and mail or deliver to every
family whom you would like to be pres.
ent 1t would add largely to the at.
tendance.
Large supplies of grange literature
should be Judiciously distributed with
the letters of invitation and at the meet
ings. This will afford members an op-
portunity to inquire after the meeting
as to the impressions made by the liter
ature or Mt the meeting and secure
good many applications. Patrons OF
Husbandry should remember when
those not members Of the Order are IA
vorably impressed with the objects,
purposes and work of the Order it is
good time to secure their active coop
Grafton and membership.
