Many people think that "les.

this is not the case 1t is high crime
in the first-class clubs in New York
for servant to awaken a sleeping
member on whatever pretext. It has
come to be understood by men who
have lots of money that no business
is more important than sleep when
one falls into it by natural processes.
It has been observed that the shock
of suddenly awakening sleeper and
compelling him to concentrate his
mind on business usually operates to
cause extreme restlessness and some.
times prevents the victim from sleep.

HeliCo!ano in Winter.

During the winter there are no Wis.
itors at Heligoland. and life is very
dull on the island Nearly all the
shops are shut and, if you want to buy
anything, you have to ring or knock
before you can attract attention. The
lodging housese are also closed, and
the fishing boats are drawn up on the
beach above high water mark. At
night the Heligolanders gather in the
public halls, the men to drink beer,
smoke and play cards, and the women
to dance. There are no formalities,
AZ all the islanders have known each
other from infancy.-Foreign letter in

GIVING TO GOOD ROADS.

of good coDHtrY" roads in Grange
county,,New York. That's sensible
This country ia fairly we'll off now
,hdays so far as schools OF higher
education and libraries are concern
ed. As to good roads, we lag
behind the world Europeans have
followed the fine example of the
Romans, the great road and aque-
duct constructors. In this respect
we have followed the barbarians
who made no great highways.
The lack Of road building is the
weak spot in our material civiliza-
ton. What will the people of the
twenty first century think of us
when they read tnat in our time
whole communities were cut off
from the rest of the world by an
embargou Of Emud? We have rail-
roads with no way to get to them.
The farmer has daily mails, news
paper and telephones to give him
the prices current and no means by
which to market his produce.
It cannot be expected that farmers
will build expensive highways. To
build roads is the business. Of the
government. II the government,
national, state or local, will make
appropriations and this fund is sup
plemented by the gifts of wealthy
men who wish to be benefact-
ors, there will be a beginning of the
only solution of the roads problem.
Mr.. Carengie, Mr.. Rockefeller and
other wealthy men could push civil
;iaztion further forward by giving
a lot Of millions for good road build

Grief CONQUERED,

Within my room alone. on Bonded knee
I will beseech that, when grief comes

Gods comforts come as we'll to heal the

Come joys divine when earthly joys take
wing; 90
And when my loved ones die, to me be
given
Some clearer evidence of Gods dear

Filling my soul with peace, and COM

SO grief shall find me armed, and, as a

Yields to a warrior stronger far than

In the Orchard.

Oh! here, beneath this roof Of green,
throw me down and dream again
The golden dreams Of what has been
And future harvests vet to gain!
The wheat waves In the field close by,
An apple, ripened ere its time,
Drops from the tree the suns great eye
Seeks through the leaves. and as
rhyme.
The birds weave to and fro and sing
The very songs would declare,
And now and then the branches swfnR
Stirred gently by a wandering air.
The binders, clicking in the wheat,
The whistle of passing train.
The distant noises Of the sire ct.
Are to my song low refrain.
Today! Today rest at ease
And pick the golden fruits that grow
In rs solitude t.eie on twigs of peace
The fruits that only dreamers know.

ALL BOTTLED UP SUNSHINE.
Origin Of Productive Elements Of the
Earth. a<as,

Earth. e%sa.
When we come to think OF It the
Harvesting of the sun is not SO very
strange. In fact, we have had it in
actual use since the coming Of man
upon the earth, only Indirectly. With
out the sun there would be nothing
here-no men, no life. Coal is moth
ing but stored-up. bottled sunshine.
The sunlight of a million years pro-
duced forests, which, falling, were
buried in the earth and changed into
coal. So when we put coal ,ip the
cook stove we may truthfully say that
we are boiling the kettle with mill
ion-year-old sunshine. Similarly there
would be no waterfalls for us TO chain
and convert into electricity, as we
have chained Niagara.
