PITH AND POINT.

Old saying: Those who can. do; those
who can't, teach.
You ladies no doubt have tried many
remedies Ever find one thntswas d
remedy?
When there is talk of q duel both par
ties are very fierce in the hope that the
other will back out
We have noticed that the weather is
either too wet, too dry. too cold or too
warm. It is very seldom just right.
Don't ever grieve to death if you can
help it. Such a death is very unsatis-
factory to the doctors, as it affords
them nothing to cut out.
When they were married they had
two umbrellas and needed only one.
Later on. when one umbrella was all
they had, they needed two.
We wonder If the author Of that say

Call By Number.

Telephone subscribers and others
using the telephone should call by
number. The new cards are out and
distribut d aud it will secure quicker
and better service if every telephone
user will bear this matter in mind.
Instead of ringing the central and ask
ing for person just consult the card
and you will secure quicker service.
The operators at central are not sup
posed to know the number of every
telephone user unless they refer to
the card and the public should
recognize this fact and do accordingly.
There is nothing to be gained by ask
ines The telephone operator to look up
the number of subscriber when you
can easily do urself. Consult the
list and call by number and relieve the
telephone operators of great deal Of
annoyance and confusion.

There is now pending in Congress a
bill introduced by the Hon. Walter p.
Brownlow, of Tennessee, and the Hon.
Jacob II. Gallinger, Senator frem New
Hampshire, appropriating $24 10000
as National aid for the building OF
wagon roads. This sum is to be dis
tributed 10 each state according to it's
p rulaton, except that no state is to
receive less than $250.00O. The states
or cou1ties receiving this money must
add like amount. SO that $4S, 900, 900
will be expended in the building of
wagon roads.
Colonel Brownlow says that we have
over 20O,0 miles of the finest rail
way inthe world, more miles Of railroad
than all the rest of the globe put to-
gether, yet we have the poorest wagon
roads of any civilized country. He
believes there is no one thing will do
this country so much good as the build
ing of wagon roads, as provided for in
this bill As these are to be built in
every state of the Union, they will be
especially valuable in an object lesson.
Experience has shown that wherever
good roads exist every one wants more
of them
