When you compare the climates OF
Old and New England the wonder is,
not that box hedge fails, but that any
evergreen from England succeeds
here. The only place in the United
States that has a climate like that of
England is the coast of Oregon, while
the climate of New England is COM
parable to that Of Manchuria and
Korea, to which countries we should
look for a broad leayed evergreen to
displace box. The difference between
the mean temperatures in January and
July is only fifteen degrees in England,
whereas it is forty-two in New York,
and New England sometimes jumps
from sixty degrees above to twenty de-
grees below inside Of three days. The
winter winds Of England being the
warm, moist air of the Gulf Stream,
while ours are from the cold, dry inte-
riOr of the continent, these winds dry
out the foliage of broad leaved ever
greens, and, the roots being frozen,
they cannot send sap to the leaves.
Consequently, the foliage gets dingy or
yellow. 1t is doubtful whether we
shall ever have any really first-class
broad leaved evergreens for such con-
ditions. Practically all our northern
evergreens have needle leaves, except
the bayberry. Life in Amer

New Carbon Compound.

At a recent meeting of the Academy
Of Sciences of France, held at Paris, NJ.
Henri Moissan presented a paper con
corning the preparation and charac-
teristics of a new carbon compound
containing mOlyhdenum. This com.
pound is obtained by heating charcoal
with melted molybdenum and alum
inum in an electric furnace. The re-
sultant metallic mass is treated with
concentrated solution of potash, and
needles of we'll defined crystals of the
new carbon compound are obtained.
The substance is veg hard, IS hard
II attacked by acids other than nitric,
and is not deeomposed by water or
steam at a temperature below COO de-
grees G. 1t resembles the carburet
of tungsten, already known, which is
not considered surprising, as the met
ais tungsten and molybdenum are
much alike. 1t is thought that this new
compound may play a role in molyb-
denum steels.
The method Of preparation shows
that even at rather high temperature
that of boiling aluminium molyb-
denum compound is obtained which
contains twice as much carbon as the
compounds formed at the highest heat
obtainahle in the electric furnace

Fashionable Lonhon Fad.

It has become a fad in fashionable
society in London for women TO have
their prayer books bound to match
their dresses. which bit Of frivolity so
shocked Archbishop Diggie. OF Blr--

pulpit the practice, and those who
made It the fashion. Not all prelates
show the same feeling. for on inquiry
at Pater Noster row, the home OF relig-
ious publications. it was found that an
Angelical bishop had Just given IN or

cream color with silver monogram
clasps FOR the use Of his daughter II
is a fad that may not last but is now

The President 81 France as Kitchen Maid
10 His mother.

TO His mother.
aThe private secretary Of President
Loubet told M Of one of his frequent
visits to his mother" says Vance
Thompson in Everybody's Magazine.
1T was between two stormy sessions
of the Chamber Of Deputies. / sup
pose the destiny of France hung in the
balance, for, in fact, the destiny Of
France always does hang in the bal
ance. In the peaceful interval, Loubet
slipped down to Marsanne and walked
out to the farm. The good dame was
in the huge, brickhoored kitchen,
kneading bread for the fortnighty
baking. she flung her doughty arms
around his neck and kissed him.
Really, mother said the Presi-
dent. you should give over this heavy
work
"'And trust some slatternly maid'
cried the old dame, no, no-but | must
admit it is not so easy to me-
"'Well, to-day you must trust me,
her son said, so sit down and fold
your hands and talk to me-
HE took off his coat, rolled up his
shirt-sleeves and kneaded the bread
while the good mother told him the
news and gossip of the farm. This
is the sort of thing that Emile Loubet
would do quite naturally. Lincoln
might have done it, too. Having
kneaded the bread, Monsieur Loubet
returned by special train to Paris and
went on saving France"

One other cause Of illness prevalent
In hot. dry weather is dust, and this,
with little attention. might be ahat-
ed. The usual practice OF municipal
authorities is still to sweep the perfect
~ dry and dust-laden streets in the
small and early morning hours by
means Of powerful machine brushes,
with the net result that the dust-at
least. finer particles-is sent whirI-
ing intv the air only 70 fall again; the
particles are rearranged, not removed.
The problem has been solved IN the
cities OF London. Westminster and
Paris. and perhaps in others, by wash
ing the streets in tho early morning
and sweeping them afterward If nee
essary. This insures the removal OF
the dust without playing at the ete-aal
Sisyphus-like task Of stirring up over
and over again the same dust particles,
a sort OF "scavenger's labor lost" With
regard to country roads. the plan of
applying a chemical substance greedy
Of water. such as calcium chloride. TO

ton containing this substance, has

so far as bicycles and motors are con-
cerned. The microscopic body alb

One of the beauties of life abroad
is the kind attention lavished upon
you by public servants. Take, for ex.
ample, the street car conductors in
Berlin. The ears do not pause at every
corner. as with us, but make a run OF
three blocks without stopping. When
the conductor sees passengers about
to enter his car, he steps of, and, re-
moving his cap respectfully, waits till
all are seated, when he jumps on and
gives the forward signal. With each
collected fare he offers ticket for the
passenger to retain and exhibit on de-
mand as evidence that the fare has
been paid.-New York Press.

FRONT STREET
 PAVING ASSURED.
Contract Let by Front Street Property Owners for Paving
 of That Thoroughfare.

The paving committee, con- sisting of w. R. Thompson, A. D. Bailey and George Mason, empowered and authorized to contract for the macadamizing of Front street, by written agreement entered into by the nroperty owners on said street, on Friday contracted with Joblin 6 'Handford of Batesville for \ the paving of Front street from Beech to Main.
 The contract price is S4 per lineal foot, which will make the cost $100 to every twenty-five foot front. It is to be Telford paving, thirty-fve feet wide, in- cluding the curbing, or thirty three feet minus the curbing, and consists of a depth of twelve inches of stone, large, heavy ma- terial being used for the founda- tion, and so laid as to provide a drain for water above. Crushed stone is to be used to taper off, and for top coat fine screenings are specified.
 The work is to be begun at once, as soon as material can be placed upon the ground, and the paving will in all probability have been completed before the date specified in the contract, November 15, 1904.
 The committee is to be com mended for it's prompt action and the city congratulated on this long needed improvement. The greatest hindrance to the growth of our city has given way before the march of progress.
