sympathy. There are, however, forty
eight trades organized in the stock
yards of Chicago: forty-three in the
building trades of New York, and over
forty in the same trades in Chicago,
Some Of these trades are intrinsically
unimportant, others are numerically
weak, and if deprived of all support
from the larger organizations in the
same industry they would be unable to
maintain themselves in any struggle
with the employers. The United Board
OF Building Trades in New York City,

means trading on the ragged edge of
nothing. When man buys. he's buy
ing something that the other fellow
hasn't got. When man sells. he's sell
ing something that he hasn't got. And
it's been my experience that the net

The Naming of Roads.

The naming Of the roads, says the
Grand Rapids Herald, is something
that should have been attended to long
ago. Every main road and every cross
road in the county ought to have its
official title, just as do the streets and
avenues in the city. The roads are all
laid out OH the map, but they are un-
named, and to attempt to address
farmer at his home residence except
perhaps in the most general way is i'm
possible The board of supervisors
might well appoint committee or COM
mission to name the roads in the coun-
ty, and in selecting names it would be
we'll to honor the sturdy pioneers who
settled in the neighbOrhOod through
which the road passes. With the roads
named farmer could be as easily ad-
dressed by his street and number as
can those who dwell in cities.

Rural Delivery Notes

The free rural delivery system is un-
der the charge Of A. w. Machen. He is
almost the father of the system. 1t was
born under the Cleveland regime. Ten
thousand dollars was appropriated for
the initial experiment.
Since the date Of the permanent es-
tablshment of rural free delivery the
force of carriers has been increased I'M
ill at present it constitutes an army Of
about 12,Gm. who daily travel over
nearly 100000 miles of highway for the
benefit OF population of about 1000
600.
Governor Durbin of Indiana has
signed the bill recently passed compel
ling counties to keep in good repair the
roads on which rural mail routes have
been established. The bill provides that
6 per cent Of the road fund shall be set
aside to keep these routes in good con-
dition.

ROAD REPAIRING.
Some Points on PuttinE a Highway
In Good Condition.

Holes and ruts should never be filled
with stone, brick or coarse gravel, says
d writer in Good Roads Magazine. The
hard material will not wear uniformly
with the rest Of tf.e road, but will pro-
duce bumps and ridges and usually re-
suit in making two holes, each larger
than the original. Any saucerlike de-
pressions or ruts should be filled with
earth like that of the roadbcd.
1t is Il bad practice to cut Il gutter
from n hole to drain it to the side of
the road. Filling il is the proper course,
whether the hole is dry or contains
mud The holes most requiring atten-
ton are found at the end of bridges
and along the sid of small wooden
box culverts.
The side bitches should be examined
in the fall to see that they are free
from dead weeds and grass, and late
in the winter they should be examined
again to see that they are not clogged
with cornStalks, brush, etc. washed in
from the fields. The mouths of cul-
vcrtS should also be cleared of rub
biSh and the outlet of tile drains
should be opened. Attention ~ side
bitches prevents overflow anG washing
of the roadbcd and will also prevent
formation Of ponds at the roadside and
the consequent saturation of the road
bed.
Roads should have plenty of light
and air. OF course Il shady road is very
nice on hot day, but such Il road can
not be kept in good condition, since
shade is nearly sure to cause mud
holes. Therefore the road officials
should use all possible diplomacy to
have trees adjoining the read, particr-
larly those on the south side. trimmed

Highways.
We are appropriating millions Of

railroads must in the first instance
pass over primary roads-namely, the
highways says E. a. Bond. New York

canals we are doing an immense work.
We are still appropriating money and
making them efficient. Our railroad
corporations are eXpending huge for

their roads straight and smooth.
Steamboat companies are eXpending
great sums in cnlarging the capacity
of their ships and increasing their
speed.
What does all of this avail if we who

The influence of the wind on vegeta-
tion has been the subject of report
by Prof. j. Fruh to Swiss geographers.
The effectis powerful one, especially
on trees, and even the presence or alb
sence OF forests may be determined
by the character of the prevailing wind
or the conditions that modify it's ac-
ton. The wind acts especially as dry
ing agent, in this way giving special
aspect to many plants. When the wind
is almost always from the same quar-
ter, the plants usually show greater
development upon one side, trees are
smaller on the windward edges of for
ests, and trunks and branches are per-
maneGtly bent to leeward. The de-
formations are most marked near the
sea or in fat regions. The cherry, the
plum, the walnut, the black poplar,
the ash and certain pines are very sem
sitive to the wind, but mountain pines
and certain frs offer great powers of
resistance, and these are recommended
for reforesting windswept lands.-Sci-

FIuorIne Isolated at Last.

.Fluorine, the most active element
known, has been isolated by M. Mois-
san in state of absolute purity, and
when free from moisture it is found
to lose entirely its extraordinary pow
er of attacking glass. Pure fuorine,
therefore, may be sealed in glass
tube In collaboration with Prof De-
war, the tube of gas was immersed
in liquid hydrogen, when the liquefac-
ton and solidification of the fluorine
were observed, and the fusing point
was found to be at 233 degrees C. be-
low zero. AS most substances are
known to become inert at such cold,
the question has. arisen whether all
chemical action ceases near absolute
zero To test this, the tube of fuorine
was Sfoken in the liquid hydrogen, and
tflA result was violent explosion, with
M fame and shattering of the
hL 'atus employed. 1t has been thus
pr IN that some chemical action is
kposdble at about minus 252 degrees
c., or only 20 degrees above the abso-
lutte zero.

MINCEMEAT HELPED SOME.
London Woman Writer Sold Her
Work, But Had "a Reliable
Source of Income.

Apropos of the question as to writing
as a profession pays good living,
Miss Elizabeth Banks, author of THE
Autobiography of Newspaper Girl, .
relates some of her experiences with
London authors, known to the world
as successful.
"The other day." said Miss Banks,
"Iwas calling on a well-known woman
writer, whose books are wiuely known
in England and America, and have been
well translated into one or two con-
tinental languages. She writes two
books a year-that is, on an average.
Her books are not great books, by any
means, but they are not bad books.
and that is saying a great deal. Over
the teacups we talked books and l
complimented her upon the success
of her last book. l looked about her
pretty home, and l said:
81 call it a sign of woman's prog
ress and advancement that member
of my sex can keep up home like this
by book writing
81 don't keep it up by book writing,
she answered.
"'But | thought you had always
said that, unlike most other English
women workers, you had not been left
with an income by your parents-that
you had your own row to hoe entirely
by YOURSELF
"'True,' she replied, but it costs
me 500 a year to keep up this style of
living, and 1 never make more than
$50 year out of my books. Imake an
other $50 out of newspaper and mag
azine writing, and / make the rest of
my income out of mincemeat.'
'Mincemeat!' l echoed.
Yes, mincemeat.'
"She sat back and laughed till the
tears rolled down her cheeks, till got
to laughing myself, and our tea got
cold, and we had. to wait for another
pot to be brewed.
ut turned out that this writer Of
many books had FOR several years been
carrying on private trade in mince-
meat, made by herself with the help of
lady companion. She started among
her friends, they recommended her to
their friends, they to others, till final
ly she secured steady income from
making mincemeat."
