Hot water.

Cold blooded people, who have little
thirst, will do well to make a business
of drinking certain amount of hot
water every day throughout the win
ter season. 1t lessons the tendency to
take cold, improves the circulation and
benefits coughs and insomnia.
Before going to bed is very good
time for this practice, as it warns up
and relaxes the system, thus preparing
the way for good nights sleep.
Many cases of indigestion, headache,
neuralgia, cold hands and feet. can be
cured in half an hour by drinking slow
ly one or two pints of water so hot
that it almost burns the throat.-Med-
ical Brief.

ROAD LAW
State Aid To Road Bullding-LaW
In Effect January list, 1905.
CECIL COUNTY GETS So, 255.6e

AS means of explaining easily
and clearly the principal features
of the new law for state aid to road
building in Maryland, which be-
comes operative January |, 1905, a
concise brief pamphlet is to be is
sued by the Highway Division
of the Maryland Geological Sur
vey for the use of Boards of
County Commissioners and residents
throughout the state. Information
concerning the state aid appropria-
ton is undoubtedly of liveliest in
terest at this time, and the Mary
land Geological Survey has gone to
no little pains to supply a quantity
of detailed information upon this
particular topic, especially a table,
hitherto unpublished, which has
been complied to show the exact
allotment which each county of the
state will receive under the new
law. The latter which becomes
operative on January 1, 1905,
makes available for state aid in
road building 100000 annually,
to be apportioned according to the
ratio that the miles Of road in each
county bear to the total highway
mileage of the state and in each
case a considerable sum is at the
disposal Of the residents of the
county to defray half the expense.
If all the counties do not take up
their full allowance the balance is
to be reapportioned among the re-
manning counties which are ready
to undertake road building. The
allotment OF each county is shown
in the table as follows:

cording to their public road mile

A feature of the law which has
been much misunderstood and
which will be explained with I'M
usual pains lin the pamphlet, is the
section regarding the payment of
10 per cent Of cost by the prop.
erty-holders. Many of the latter
have been frightened by thinking
that the two thirds of the property
holders of any section of road can
compel the remaining one third
property holders to help pay the
10 per cent levy, but such is not
the case. In no instance does any
one who does not wish the road,
have to pay any part of the cost.
METHOD OF PROCEDURE.
The County Commissioners of a
county petition the State Commits.
sion for aid to build a certain piece
of road. If it is found upon ex.
animation by the Commission that
the road in question is one of gen.
eral public convenience and a proper
one to construct, an estimate of the
cost of improvement is made, to-
gether with plans, specifications,
etc., for doing the work. This is
undertaken by the County Commits
sioners either by contract, or, if the
prices for doing it in this manner
are considered too high, then in
other ways they may deem best.
PROPERTY OWNERS RIGHTS.
In the event that the County
Commissioners fail to petition for
state aid under this law it is pro-
vided that the owners of two thirds
of the lands binding upon any
public road or section of road, not
less than mile long, can compel
the County Commissioners to petit
ton for the construction of the
piece of road provided that the
owners petitioning have paid .or
pledged 10 per cent of the work.
Those who have paid or have
pledged 10 per cent of the cost
cannot, however, compel any of the
other property holders along the
road to bear any of the cost. The
work then proceeds as already
described except that the County
Commissioners cannot be compelled
by this payment of 10 per cent by
property-holders to contract for
work to an amount greater than one
fourth of the road levy of the
county.
Any expense due to the pay
ment for land that may be neces-
sary to secure proper location for
the road or any damages that may
arise through the construction of

Malay Poetry.

The Malays possess poetcal ma

writing Of poetry as an art to be as
pired to by anybody. Short couplets
are their delight, especially those with
a little moral attached. One founded
on the weather tends to comfort per-
son who has been badly treated: "Now
it is wet, now it is fine. A day Will
come for retaliation" Then, again, Of
lovers they say, "As the owl signs

ing like sarong not yet unfolded,"
an apt illustration when one thinks of
the bright colors of new sarongs.
