ROADSIDE BEAUTY.
Hfghw&ys Free of Weeds and Busha
 Increase Farm Vaiues

afghways Free of Weeds and Bushas
 Increase Farm Values.
 There is nothing that gives a passer- Ay poorer opinion of a farm than roadside front incumbered with a weed and scrub nursery, says the Practical Farmer. On many a farm which is otherwise comparatively clean the road enough annually to keep up the supply of brow sweatings for the next season. Even where there is some effort to keep the roadside clean it is common to let the whole growth remain until fail, when the weed seeds are ripe. and then have a cleaning up which accom- piishes little good.
 In travelling through northern Indi- ana we were struck with the beautiful sod on each side of the railroad line and inside of the railroad fences. The grass and weeds were evidently care fully mown more than once during the season, and there was late in the fall e sod of emerald green which made a strong contrast with the brown and closely grazed fields on the farms along eide. It takes little work. if done at the right time, to keep the roadside in front of ones farm neat and showing anly a clean sod instead of bushes and weeds.
 The front of thousands of farms in all parts of the country shows growth ef bushes that hide the fields beyond and give neglected appearance to the whole place. Grub the whole front carefully and determine that next sea- son fhe growth shall be kept down. As the young sprouts appear in spring it will take but little while with the scythe to clip them of, and regular clipping with the scythe will do more toward banishing the bushes than any grubbing that is done but once year.
 Where the no fence law is in opera ton it is easy to keep the roadside clean with the moving machine, and every farmer who takes any pride in tlfe appearance of his place will see to this. There is a money value in neat ness, for if two places side by side are offered for sale, one neat and clean and the other borlered with bushes and weeds, the clean farm will bring more money per acre by reason of its ap- cearance. Then. if we add to this some beauty in the planting of the front and the approach to the house, with well kept drive and a beautiful lawn, we win be adding dollars to the salable value of the farm at small cost.

Ical Journa: When the United States army pushed the Spaniards off the is- land, they found city that had prac- tically been a fruitful focus for the dis semination of all the infectious diseases that are fostered by tropic heat in con- junction with human negligence and want of hygienic decency. There were no efficient sewers: sewage ran in open gutters or stood in stagnant pools on top of the ground throughout the city. Yellow fever and smallpox were annually epidemic. and the death rate exceeded 25.000 every year.
 The first step of the army officers on taking possession was to establish a system of municipal sanitation. The natives were harnessed for the work and under compulsion and proper su- pervision soon revolutionized the situa- tion. Sewers were constructed, streets and cesspools were cleaned, the latter being abolished, the water supply was looked after. and, lastly, the perennial crop of disease bearing mosquitoes were attacked right and left-and what is the result? Malarial diseases have become much more rare and of a milder type than has ever been known in the region, there has not been a case of smallpox for more than a year and a half and yellow fever has been prac- tically abolished.

Banks of Massachusetts Hold Funds
 For This Purpose.
 Tt is perhaps not generally known that savings banks in Massachusetts. under the provisions of the acts of 1875 and 1895, are especially authorized to receive on deposit. to any amount. funds in trust for the purpose of set ting out shade trees in streets and parks and for improving the same. and also for erecting and maintaining drinking fountsSns in public places" said NJ. F. Dickinson in an address at a meeting of the Massachusetts state board of agriculture.
 These funds are placed on interest in the banks. the dividends being pay able semiannually to the town desig- mated by the donor, and are to be ex- pended by the authorities of the town for tine purposes specified. No part of the principal can be withdrawn. and the same is exempt from attachment or levy on execution.
 q am not informed to what extent funds have been deposited in our say ings banks for these purposes. but the legislation certainly is a step in the right direction. Let us hope that out of it may finally grow the habit on the part of our rich men of providing a permanent fund for the establishment and beautifying of our public places.

SANTA FE PARTY
 NEAR BOWIE eyATIoN.
Engineering Corps Is Now ParaiIeiins the Southern Pacific From Will
 cox to Bowie.

cox to Bowie.
 That the Santa Fe Railroad Is 1e termined on an east and west line through So -thern Arizona is no longer a conjecture or suppesit,on. but a real fact. judging from interviews siyen out by prominent Santa Fe officials and the actions of a Santa Fe engin- eering rarty that has been conting- ously in the field for the past three months. In September of last year the engineer ing pa U, in charge of Engineer s. F. Cochran of Phoenix. was in the Gila valley ani surveyed the line from Dudleyyille, in Pinal county. through Graham county, via the 'Gila river, to a connection With the San.a Fe in New Mexico. This a line for u ccmf cmfw cmfw cmfeta work was done in thorough and con scientious manner and estimates of the cost of the road, via Fort Thomas, Pima. Safforc and Solomonville have been submitted 10 the board cf direc- tors of the Santa Fe Road.
 At a recent meeting of the railroad officials, another survey was orderei and the same engineering party, who were in Solomonville last September. is at present campeG along the line of the s. P. between Railroad Pass and Bowie Station. engaged in survey ing line for the San,a F'e, which par allels the Southern Pacific between Willcox and Deming.
 The new proposed line has it's ori- gin at Dudleyville, in Pinal county. runs via ATavaipa Canyon to Wilcox and thence to Deming as outlined above.
 The object of this new survey. now under way, is to estimate the compar- ative cost of Santa Fe line east from Florence, via the Wilcox route or via the Gila valley.
 The Santa Fe has already complet- ed it's track from Phoenix to Florence and will soon reach Dudleyville. The continuation line must be quickly de cided now. and will be announced just as soon as the present surveying party can submit their report to the beard of directors of the Santa Fe company.
 Unles thee ost of construction, via the Aravaipa canyon, is much less than the G:la Valley route, all the ad- vantages would he fu. She line to be built in this direction. There would be immediate revenue for the new line if built via the Gila Valley; there is absolutely nothing to attract anoth- CT line of railroad from Wilcox to Deming-
 There IS no longer any doubt S1t what the Santa Fe will build east from Ducleyville, and present signs point in this direction.

SUBPOENA FOR PRESIDENT.
A Bingharton Man in a Way to Learn
 A Few Things About Law.

The Binghampton man who prom ised to subpoena President Roosevelt in lawsuit which is on the calendar for trial in the supreme court in Broome county is likely to learn some hing about the presidency. if he per sists in his purpose We rather hope he will, for it would be interesting as well as useful to have a new demon stration of the prerogative of the ex- ecutive alice as an independent and coordinate branch of the government made 10 a generation that is often in- clined to think of the president by MT. Bryan's appellation of a hired man"
 The president of the United States ooes not respond to subpoenas. He is not amenable to the processes of the courts, either. state or national. His action with regard to the coal strike or any other matter is not sub just to examination by the curious or the litigations. Executive business Is not transacted under any such re- SiSNionS iuioSeG Dy UuSyuOulSS who are able to involve some feature of it in legal controversy. The pre- dent Is the equal of the courts, and is not answerable to them. It is Just about 100 years ago that that feet was established by no less a person than the great Chief Justice Marshall.

Black and White Combinations.

Black and White Combinations.
Black and white combinations are
probably the most chic creations that
the modiste can give her patroness,
but at the same time the most diff
ficult to render artistically. Just a
trifle too much black at the wrong
place will give too heavy line Of
contrast and the entire gown loses all
style.
In one effective gown a white chif-
fon cloth with hair-line stripe of black
and black novelty lace are used over
a foundation of white taffeta yelled
with a very sheer mousseline de sole.
This underskirt is circular, fitting
closely to yoke depth and is habit
back. A plated rufile finishes at hem.
Over this the mousseline is in five
cores with deep graduated flounce,
slightly fulled, and edged by ruche.
The chiffon skirt has panel front, a
full flounce the depth Of one beneath
and gored sides, shirred in yoke ef-
feet with tucks and again above knee.

Why Jap Actor Baked.

In 1.-THE Second Fiddle" Louis
Mann's new comedy, there is small
part cast for a Japanese. A real Jap
was secured to play the part. From
the moment of his admission at the
stage door he showed a keen interest
in the rehearsal, he thrust the special
edition containing the war news in
his pocket and applied himself to the
mastering of his lines. On discover
ing that his name in the play was to
be "Huishi," the bland smile forsook
his face and approaching Mr.. Mann
he inquired if he could not be called
by his own name.
"Why?" asked Mr.. Mann, what OBJ
lection can you have to Huishi?"
"Huishi mean what you call COW.
no COW. Japanese gentleman"
The actor conciliated him, and on
the distinct understanding that he was
not in any sense regarded as a COW
the Jap resumed his task and divided
his attention wonderingly between
the business" and pair of pink
property corsets.

s LATEST SCIENTIFIC MARVEL I
8 Machines That Weigh Thoughts and }
Measure Senses. )
( {

machine might be best described as
shallow coffin, exactly balanced on
knife-blades so as to gently rock like
perfectly poised see-saw. The SUBJ
ject is placed supine within the shall
low tray, and after his body has come
to rest weights are shifted until an
even balance is maintained. Gradu-
ated scales, spirit-levels, and indicat-
ors betray the slightest disturbance Of
the subjects equilibrium.
To have your thoughts weighed by
this machine, you lie fiat upon the
shallow coffin with your hands at your
sides. The operator will then ask you
to think of love, hate, jealousy, or
any other of the human passions. AS
you do so you will find your head fall
ing, your feet rising, and the plane
of your equilibrium so altered that,
were it not for the stop-catch on the
scale, you would find yourself turning
somersault. The opposite result fol-
lows when the operator asks you to
think of running, jumping or kicking.
In this case you feet will sink and
your head rise in proportion to the in
tensity of your thoughts.
This effect is brought about by the
action of thought on the blood of the
body. The machine is, in fact, key
board to the brain, enabling the oper-
ator to follow the course and speed
of the nerve kilograms sent by the
brain to the heart. and then to follow
what have been described as the thur
ry up" orders of the heart for new
supply of blood corpuscles in what
ever part of the body they may be
needed.
1t is also quite possible with this
unique instrument to compare mental
processes. 1t may be made to show,
