THE KITCHEN RANGE.
How to Economic on the Use of
Conl-BufldirE Fires.

HOW TO ECOnO"1ZV oH tuS SS6 OK
Conl-BuildirE Fires.
|. One Of the most fruitful sources of
household waste and extravaganza is
the coal bin, and tons Of fuel are used
where q single one would give the
same results. Open drafts and a range
full to the covers Of glowing Goals not
only burn q needless amount Of coal,
but burn out the range at the same
time. A shovelful Of coal or sufficient
TO lightly cover the fire will accom-
plish as much as q half scuttleful, ex-
cepting in the increase Of the coal
mans trade.
For q small range nut coal Is best;
for large one, small egg coal Red
ash coal makes q hotter fire, with
fewer cinders, than the white ash, and
the latter burns more slowly. For
these reasons an equal mixture Of the
two is a wise economy The ashes
taken from the fire should never be
thrown into the can until they are
sifted. The cinders thus obtained can
be used on the fire at times when the
greatest heat is not needed. But they
should always be added after the fresh
coal Is we'll aglow.
A third Of cupful Of kerosene with
which to saturate the kindling and
coal before putting it in the range
will facilitate the housemaids morn
ing work, whether or not the fire has
been kept overnight. Kerosene should
never, however, be poured directly into
stove, either from the cup or can.
The best way is to lay the wood on
a shovel and cover it there with the
oil and then add e sprinkling to a
shovelful Of coal. Many housekeepers
insure their kitchens against accident
from this cause by leaving 4 part of
cupful Of oil for the servants use and
locking the rest in the storeroom.
A handful Of sugar will revive an
expiring fire as quickly as will kero-
sene, but happy the housewife whose
maid is ignorant of the fact. This ac-
counts in many cases for the rapid dis
appearance Of the kitchen sugar sup
ply.

How IN Tell Age Of Horses.

The popular idea that the age OF a
horse can always be told by looking at
his teeth, says veterinary surgeon, is
not entirely correct. After the eighth
Year the horse has no more new teeth,
so that the tooth method Is useless for
telling the age of a horse which Is more
than years old. AS soon as the set OF
teeth is complete, however, a wrinkle
begins to appear on the upper edge OF
the lower eyelid, and new wrinkle is
added each year, so that to get at the
age of a horse over 8 years old you
must figure the teeth plus the wrinkles.

mAcADAM1zED ROAD IN NORTH CAROLINA.

bACADAMlZED hOAD In NOhIa SAnO43Sos
no exaggeration to say that the roads
Of Mecklenburg county, N. G.. are the
best to be found in the entire south.
The county of Mecklenburg is near
the South Carolina line. and is pierced
by that division of the Southern rail-
road which extends from Washington
to Atlanta. The county seat Is Char
lotte, a progressive city Of thirty thou
sand inhabitants. Within radius
Of one hundred miles of this city there
are three hundred cotton factories,
comprising more than half Of the spin
dies and looms operated in the south.
In 1880 the authorities Of the county
conceived the idea of utilizing the con-
victs for the improvement Of the pub
lie roads. Instead Of locking up Of
tenders in the county Jail or sending
them to the penitentiary it was decd
ed to employ them at home In impr5vt
ing the highways. A law was passed
authorizing the. use Of conVicts for
this purpose. The convicts were or.
ganized into squad or camp, placed
under the control Of a competent su-
pervisor and engineer, and the work
of grading, Strengthening and macadA
amizing the roads was begun. A short
experience demonstrated that the con-
vict laborers cost the county only 25
cents per day per head, including food,
lodging, clothing and overseeing.
The outfit for the road work, con-
sisting of steam roller, crusher, bins,
portable engine, road machine and q
screen for asserting the rocks, cost
about $1,000. At present the county
has in operation two road outfits and
employs about sixty conyicts with
each outfit. The total expenditure In
constructing each mile Of macadam-
lied road is from $1,000 to $4,000,
not including bridges. In summer the
convicts live in tents along the road,
and in winter they live In barracks.
The rock used for the roads Is bought
from the farmers, who haul and depos-
1t 1t at the convict camp.
These roads have been in process OF
construction for twelve years at the
rate Of about ten miles per year. At
present there are more than 100 miles
of macadamized roads In the county.
The roads radiate in all directions from
the center Of Charlotte and extend ten
or fifteen miles to the county limits.
The roads Of this county have become
80 famous that delegations from many
other states have come here to inspect
them.
Many good roads organizations exist
in the south. Professor ]. A Holmes
of the University Of North Carolina
has Travelled in many states. giving u
lustrated lectures on road consuuc-
ton and organizing good roads clubs.
His campaign has borne much fruit,
and the south can now boast OF some
of the best and most picturesque roads
in the whole world

Hoxv to Clean Cut Glass.

Cut glassware is both valuable ana
beautiful and should be carefully
treated when cleaned. 1t should,
in the first place, be washed in warm
water to which have been added few
drops of that invaluable cleansing
agent ammonia. Having thoroughly
rinsed them, brush each piece separate
ly with a soft brush dipped in whiting,
and then, when the powder is washed
off, polish the glasses, which should
drain for q minute or two, with tissue
paper, which puts on splendid gloss.

The secret of a Good Road.

A hard surface, well rounded so that
the water will run off quickly, is the
secret of a good road. Attention after
a road is once permanently built is i'm
perative so that the washed out places
and depressions where water stands
may be repaired. A little timely work
will keep a road in good shape.

sbouId Last For Ages.

There is no reason in the world why
a road should not last for ages If 1t Is
built of good material and kept In prop
er repair. If this is not done, the mon
ey spent is more than wasted It. fs
more economical as a rule, to bring
good materials a long distance by rail
or water than to employ inferior ones
procured close at hand.
