er Not only has his name become a
parl Of The English language, but the
kind Of road which he built has been
adopted by all civilized nations. The
ancient Romans built stone roads. but
they were very different and vastly
more expensive than the macadam
roads OF modern times They built a
substantial foundation of rock, some
times several feet In depth and then
covered 1t With a pavement OF large
fat stones This kind Of road will
outlast any other Indeed some parts

built of crushed stone a few inches in
depth properly spread and compacted
on a foundation Of earth
The main points in successful maca-
dam road building are % that the
foundation be properly constructed and
dralned 90 that the surface of the
road be slightly curved so as to shed
water; % that the surface of the
finished road be made hard and smooth
and as nearly waterproof as possible.
The last of these qualities Is secured

SETTING THE FRUIT TREES
How an Orchard Of Any Kind May Be
Made to Look Attractive as
Woll IS Thrifty.

Young orchards should be set so the
trees may be in exact rows. Il requires
little more work than the slipshod
methods too often used. An orchard
in which the trees are accurately set is
a JOY forever. while one in which they
are set in a haphazard fashion Is an
eyesore.
The contention that sighting the
trees themselves will mol give perfect
~ straight rows Is also sound. | can

This was done, and about two years
AGO Davis came to Salt Lake pennl'ess.
Jndoe Powers loaned him money
enough to get to Tonopah, New ana
Davis departed with the promise tna'
he would repay the money.
Since then Davis has prospered. hs

Wonderful Career of the Great Trotter
Dexter.

Mr.. Jonas Hawkins, of Orange coun-
ty. obtained from a strolling gypsy
band a brown mare, 1872 hands, with
four white feet. He used her, says
Scribner's Magazine, for a family nag
and by Seeley's American Star got a
black filly, foaled i'll 1S4S, which was
named Clara. The tilly became the
nroperty of his son, Jonathan Haw-
kins. and she grew into a mare OF 14.3
hands. She had star, snip and three
white feet, and was driven pretty hard
on the country roads by her young mas
ter. In 1857, by Rysdvk's Hamble-
tonian, she had the paragon, Dexter.
The brown gelding, with blaze and
four white feet, was purchased by MI.

TWO ENDS or A MELON.
To be continued.

GUSTAV is truly connoisseur, and
the culinary feats he can perform up
on two burner gas stove in his apart
ments is wonder to his friends. He
has been on the lookout for delectable
delicacies potent to cool and refresh.
The luxury that tickled his palate most
was watermelon that had been doc
tored with rum and claret and cooled
to the freezing point.
Inspired by this work of art, GUSTAV
forthwith planned surprise for a few
OF his friends. He procured a huge
watermelon, the necessary rum and
wine, and in accordance with the rec
ipe, stirred up a mixture, plugged the
melon, poured in the liquid, inserted
the plug, and set the whole in the re
frigerator to cool for two days. Then,
summoning his friends, he cut the
melon.
Before taking a bite himself, Gus
tam proudly awaited laudatory re.
marks and EXPLANATIONS of praise. His
friends ate in silence. Upon tasting
his slice GUSTAV could detect but the
faintest flavor of rum and wine. What
had become of the two quarts of liquor
he had put in?
An hour or so later the janitor's wife
knocked at the door, and as she faced
GUSTAV and his guests she began with
great show of righteous wrath !:
"Misther Chus (hic) tum, wot did yet
put (hic) in thot malon? Ma ould mon
(hic), me ould man-me ould mon
(hic), ish down there yellin' wild (hic)
tn jimjams! Oh wanta know whash
yez put (hic) in thot-in thot malon i.
Ish ut joke (hic)-a joke thot yez
put up (hic) on UNI? Oh wanta know
(hic)-"
The truth dawned upon GUSTAV. By
reason of the melon lying two days in
enc position the rum and wine had all
settled in the lower end and he had
given that end to the janitor.

The Care of Mems Clothes.

The cloth of which mems suits are
made needs constant care or it soon
gets dusty and shabby looking. Pro
vide yourself with a small cane and
with it beat coats, etc, thoroughly,
then lay them out smoothly on Ia
BILE and brush them. You viii need
two brushes, one with stiff brfstles
for brushing out splashes of mud and
a softer brush for ordinary USE
Take care that the garments are quite
dry before you brush them, then
start with the collar and work down
ward
Light trousers may be easily cleans
ed by rubbing them over with dry pipe
clay, letting it remain on for four
hours and then brushing it out.
Spots in black cloth will generally
yield to sponging with equal parts of
hot water and spirits of hartshorn,
and a little borax dissolved in suds
made of good soap and soft water will
cleanse wooden goods nicely.
To prevent coats from wrinKling
keep them when not in use on hang
ers.
If the elbows or knees get out of
shape lay a damp cloth on them, fold
them up and leave them for a couple
of hours. Then lay the garment on
the ironing board, smooth ont with the
palms of the hands and pull gently
in every direction till stretched part
lies fat. Cover with a cloth and
press with an iron, hut take care to
have a piece of material between the
iron and the cloth or shiny mark
viii be left, which will be as disffgur-
ing as the former bagginess.

Influence of the Bible in India.

Interesting reports are coming to
the American Board of the observance
in many parts of India of the centen-
airy of the British and Foreign Bible
Society. Special services were held
in Bombay, Calcutta, Madras, Luck
now, Baggalore and at other central
points. Symphatic testimony was CIV
en- at all these meetings as to the won
derful influence which the Bible has
sad upon the life of multitudes of
people in India, including many who
are not enrolled among the number of
Christians. A striking incident
is related by the British resident of
Mysore, Sir James Bourdillon, Illus
trating the power of the Bible, even
when possessed but in part and with
no one to eXpound it. The story as
told by Sir James Bourdillon is as fol-
lows: Some twenty-five or thirty
years ago, there lived in the northern
part of the BhagalpUr district of Ben
sal a fakir who had made a great
name as the teacher of a new relig-
ion; his disciples increased until he
had considerable following. Attrac-
ted by his reputation, missionary
of one of the German societies sought
out the man and induced him to ex-
plain his teaching. When he had
done SO the missionary exclaimed:
Why, you are teaching pure Christian
ity!' and begged for further explana-
ton. 1t then appeared that the ia
kris teaching was based upon a sac
red book in his possession, and after
further pressing he produced from its
hiding place tattered copy of the
gospels in Hindu which had somehow
come into his hands The end of the
story is that many of the fakir's fol-
lowers after further instruction,
were baptized into the Christian
Church"
