Oranges of That State support Ma
tionaI Demand for Federal Aid
in Road Building.

The state grange of Maryland is the
first of the state oranges to follow the
National grange in demanding that the
government aid in improving the high
ways. At a fully attended meeting in
Baltimore recently a strong resolution
on this subject was adopted, and Master
]. B. Ager in his annual address said:
There seem to be great interest at this
time all over the state in regard to good
roads. 1t is said that the government
has expended $500, 900 900 in improving
the rivers and harbors and proposes to
spend 5000, 900 900 in building the 18TH
milan canal. Therefore we believe some
thing should be appropriated to assist
the farmers in building permanent high
ways.
According to Secretary Wilson's re-
port the farmers have aided the govern
ment very materially. Discussing the
balance of trade, the secretary says thai
the favorable balance of trade to the
credit Of this country is due entirely
to the farmers. The balance of trade in
the farm products during the last IA
years, no year excepted, aggregated $4,-
SOC, 900 900 in products. Other than the
farm products during the same period,
the balance of trade was adverse to this
country to the extent Of $685., 000, 900.
Our farmers not only Cancelled this i'm
mense obligation, but placed SO, 94O, 0OO,-
OC0 to the credit of the nation, when the
books Of the international exchanges
were balanced. He concludes that it is
the farmers that have paid the foreign
bondholders. Now, why should not the
government aid the farmers in the con-
struction of roads? 1t is shown by care
full estimates that 1t cost $500, 000, 900 to
haul the products of the farm to railway
stations, rivers and canals, which is
vastly more than it. costs to maintain
200, 600 miles of railway, and by careful
estimates the cost could be reduced one
half. have no doubt that on some roads
1t could be reduced much more"

'sThere are more free thinkers in re-
ligious matters among t~elegraphers as
a class than any other trade or calling
that 1 know Of" observed a prominent
electrician, "and many of them grow to
be the most pronounced in their views,
without being able to explain it. There
is nothing about the telegraph business
that's irreligious in anyway. Ofcourse,
telegraphers have to work On Sundays,
but so do printers, drug clerks, rail-
road men and hosts of others, who, as
a rule, stick close to their early re-
ligious training. There seems to be
something in the telegraph business
that cuts men loose, as it were. 1t may
be from the fact that Morse, the in
ventor of the telegraph, was decidedly
independent in his religious views, and
that his followers absorb his ideas with
out being conscious of it. But the fact
that there are more free thinkers
among telegraphers than in any other
calling, in proportion to their numbers,
is indisputable. This is no new or sud-
den discovery. 1t has always been so,
and though there have been a number
of explanations given, none of them
have thoroughly explained as yet

by three-inch stuff nailed on right-hand
straight edge and the level fastened on
the r%ight-hand side of the uprights, so
as to be out of the way of the staff or
handle, which can be of any length to
suit the operator. The bevel is fastened
on the uprights with n common screw
at the further end Of the level. The 9TH
er end opposite Is fastened onto the
upright by cutting a narrow slot hole in
the upright, through which put a small
bolt that will just fill the slot hole side
ways, also coming through the level pro-
vided with a thumb nut and washer as
shown on the drawing. There must be
great accuracy in putting the level upon
level and the bottom Of the straight edge
exactly parallel. When you are getting
the grade or fall of ditch to the rod by
raising or lowering the real end of the
level by taking the difference on a
straight line with the bottom of the level
measured down at each extreme end of
the straight edge, you can tell just what
incline your ditch will have per rod null
tiplying the variation by four. For in
stance, if the difference in length of the
straight edge and the line of the bottom
of the level was three-eights of al inch,
the fall in the ditch per rod would be
twelve-eights, equal to III inches, as the
straight edge is o%ne-fourth of 16h feet.
Always drive the tile tight ct the top
of the joint to keep out all the loose dirt.
My experience teaches me that the water
always enters the tile at the bottom. AL
ways use a scoop to fit the size of the
tile, then, when you fill in, the dirt will
not crowd the tile out of line. In setting
the level for work, have the incline so
as to have the bubble always occupy the
center of the opening of the level. In so
doing you seldom require the services
of a surveyor.-Prairie Farmer.

Yorktown, Ark, Jan. ll-Leland Will
hanson, M. D.. one of the cleverest ply
~slcians, has made a statement, endorsing
Dodds' Kidney Pills and saying that he uses
them in his daily practice in. preference to
any other Kidney medicine. His statement
has created a profound sensation as it is
somewhat unusual for a physician to pub
licly endorse anything in the shape of a
patent medicine. DR.. Williamson says:
"After twenty years practice in a sickly
and malarious country l have come to the
remedy that will relieve and cure my pa
tients whether ethical or not.
"Ihave used Dodd's Kidney Pills with uni
form success in the various forms of Kidney
Disease, Pain in the Back, Gout, Rheuma-
tism, Inflammation and. Congestion of the
Kidneys and all kindred diseases; l always
prescribe Dodd's Kidney Pills in such cases
and can testify that they invariably restore
the Kidneys to their normal state and there
by relieve the blood of accumulated p~oisons,
producing prompt and effective cures"

LAST OF THE "OLD GUARD"
Gen.. Gordon, Famous Confederate
Commander, Passes Peacefully
Away mt Miami, Fla.

Atlanta, Ca, Jan. 11.-Lieut.- Gen.
John Brown Gordon died at his win
ter home near Miami, Fla, at 1905
Saturday night. His bearing during
the civil raj was characterized by
boldness and a dash which made him
the idol of his soldiers. In an official
report of Gen. D. H. Hill, Gen. Gordon
was characterized as the chevalier
Bayard Of the confederacy.
When hostilities were ended he
called his men about him and advised
them to bear the trial of defeat, to go
home in peace, obey the laws and re-
build the wasted country.
Since his retirement from political
activity he has devoted much of his
time to lecturing, presenting to the
north as well as to the south his lee
ture up "The Last Days of the Con-
federacy."
Since the organization of the United
Confederate Veterans he has held the
position of it's commander-in-chief, and
his frequent reflections to that posi-
ton have testified to the warmth of
affection in which he has been held
in the south.
The remain will be SHIPPED from Mi
ami this morning and will reach At
lanta, Ga, Tuesday morning. At the
request of Gov. Terrell of Georgia,
Gen. Gordon's body will lie in state in
the capitol for several days.

In the year 1882 a landslide in the
Zenskar range of the Himalayas laid
bare a deposit of brilliant blue stones,
which the native soldiery found very
useful as gunfints, in addition to their
ornamental qualities. The pretty
stones were very plentiful, one man
having so much as 100 pounds of them
in his possession. One day a trader
came along who on seeing the stones
paid all sorts OF ridiculous prices for
them. When they were taken to one
of the commercial centers it soon be-
came known that the stones were the
finest kind of sapphires. Thereupon
the maharajah of Cashmere sent a regi-
ment of Sepoys to seize the mines, and
it is from this deposit that nearly all
the fine sapphires of the past Is years
have come.-Kansas City Journal.

Yellow Attractive to Insects.

If we watch the beautiful golden
marsh marigold we shall find it rarely
receives a visit from the bumblebee. 1t
is said that those bright golden-bodied
flies of the family of Syrphidae are the
chief d~isseminators of it's pollen. How
ever this may be, one thing is perfectly
plain: the marsh marigold is a strik-
ing and snowy yellow flower which
cannot escape the notice of a multitude
of spring insects; tits consequently Wis
tied by bees, flies, butterflies and
beetles. Yellow is a most common color
among flowers, and one which is Pc
culiarly conspicuous and iashy in sun-
light, when it is vanished with a gloss
like that which we see on the butter
cup and the marsh marigold.-F. Schuy-
Ter Mathews, in C%hautauuuan.

Corn Forty Ycars Old.

An Indiana farmer will exhibit at the
st. Louis worlds fair corn which has
been in his possession for 40 years. The
cereal, in spite of its age, is in a splendid
state Of preservation, and all this time
has been kept in an ordinary corn crib.
If corn improved with age, as wine does,
this collection would be very valuable
by this time. 1t is not often that farm.
ers keep corn very long nowadays. The
demand for feeding purposes and the
temptation to convert 1t into cash at
market are too much; besides, there
would be no advantage in storing away
corn indefinitely unless for the purpose
Of ascertaining how long it would keep.

In a later letter dated January 81, 1903,
