"While all our customers who have

says Scallin Bros, yet there has been
considerable diversity of opinion as
to how the name is pronounced"
"Hyomei is pronounced just as if
it were spelled 'high-o-me,' with the
accent on the first syllable"
"A great many come to our store
and instead of asking for Hyo.nie,
tell US they want a package of the
treatment for catarrh that we are
selling on a guarantee"
"Whlle we know what they mean
and all of our clerks will give them

Hidden Tattoo Marks.

An escaped convict was on trial be-
fore a French court. and the question
turned upon his identity with a prison
er known to have been tattooed. There
was no appearance of colored marks
upon his arm, and the question submit
ted to NJ. Leroy, the m%edico-legal ex-
pert. was whether the man had ever
been tattooed. NJ. Leroy applied strong
friction to the skin of the mans arm.
This had the effect of bringing out
white lines as cicatrices, with a slight
blush tint. BY this means the word
Sophie" was plainly legible in white
marks on the REDEEMED skin. This
proved the identity Of the convict.

ment aid in it's prosecution. Some
will say that the National Govern
ment is spending too much of the
peoples money already. This may
be true; but is this money spent ju-
diciously? The fact is, of all the
money spent by the Government,
country people receive but little ben
eft. The last Session of Congress
used up $753,484,O18. Of this,
$5,97S,160 was used for the benefit
of agriculture, or less than 1 per
cent of the whole. The army and
navy received over $16O,OOO,0OO or
twenty-six times as much as was ex-
pended for the benefit of agriculture.
Consider which is of most benefit to
the country, agriculture, or the huge
military force. The cost to this
country of maintaing our authority
in the Philippine Islands for one
year would build more than 10000
miles of macadam roads without the
assistance of State, county or pre-
cinct. 1t is we'll known that farm
ers pay more tax than city people
in proportion to the value of their
property. The cities, get their tax
money back, because salaries, cost
of public works, and practically all
government expenditures are dis
bursed in cities. When farmers pay
their taxes there is very little of it
that ever returns to them. There
fore, is it at all unreasonable that
the government should aid the States
and counties in building country
Just how this matter may be
arranged we are not prepared to say.
1t is plain, however, that an economi-
cal administration could save enough
from present, direct and indi-
rect taxes to go far towards enabling
Localities to build good roads. Sure
1y it is not necessary, as is now
the case, that the government ex-
penditures should be ten times as
great as when the population was
one-half what it is now.-Farm and

stump. Even farmers, with loads
of produce on their wagons in mud
dy lanes, frequently mention the
topic, or it's equivalent, by uncom-
plimentary terms applied to the
roads they are dealing with. We as
sumo that curses applied to bad
roads are equivalent to blessings APP
piled to good roads-when enough
good road can be found to apply a
few words of commentator to.
Practically everybody favors good
roads-city people, who never use
them, and country people who often
find them unusable. If all people
admit the benefits that would result
from good roads, why do we find
only bad roads9 The answer is, that
some people think good, hard, water
proof country roads an impossible
ity; some want good roads, but con-
tend that it takes both money and
labor to build them-and who wants
to pay money to make good roads to
be used by other people? City peo-
pie are willing to be taxed for street
improvement, for that increases the
value of their property, but to build
roads in the country would increase
the value of farm property, and will
not increase the productive capacity
of the land. Thus it is that on the
road question, as on many other sub
jects, the people do not think or
work together, but "pull-oF like a
yoke of contrary oxen. Tt is a
strange fact that in this country we
have the best railroads, both steam
and electricity, in the world, and the
worst country roads of any civilized
nation on earth.
IF there is any work possible that
would benefit an agricultural sec
ton as much as building good roads
therein. we have never heard of it.
and it has never been even suggest
ed. The most serious handicap
country people have is the result of
muddy roads. When roads are mud
dy, fields are muddy also, and the
farmer can neither work in his fields
nor market his crops, nor visit his
neighbors. 1t is said by eminent au-
thority that in France, Belgium and
other countries where good roads are
the rule, farmers always market
their produce in wet weather, be-
u at such times they cannot
work in their fields; but their roads
being like unto paved streets, they
can do their marketing at any time.
The season is now almost upon us
when farmers can only reach their
market towns by struggling through
muddy lanes and wei Doggy sloughs.
Would it not be better for the towns
if farmers had easy access to them
at all times? Would it not pay the
towns and cities to aid the country,
the State or the National Govern
ment and the country people in
building good roads? Surely a sys-
