GOOD ROADS

wv iucoVloiin vi ouPlClllc I'M
portance to the people of this
County are good roads and good
schools. The advancement and
development of our County is
more largely dependent upon these
than any thing connected with
our system of government, 1t is
a pleasure to note the improve
ment in the County for the past
few years along both these lines.
Instead of exclusively deyoting
the time Of the hands and the tax
es levied to ''road working" an
almost useless, temporary make
shift, we are glad to see that some
of our districts are supplying them
selves with the proper machinery
and actually building roads,
Lawrence County has within its
borders, enough material of finest
quality obtainable, to build first
class 70 ads in every County in
Middle Tennessee, and yet we are
every year travelling and hauling
our products over dirt roads al
most without foundation or bot
tom. Madison County a few years
ago imported material from the
State of Illinoise to build roads
within its borders and has today a
fine system of pixies. These were
of course built at great expense tC
the County but the rapid develop
ment and improvement of the
County has met fully and satisfac.
torily the expectations Of the peo
pie and completely justified the
expenditure,
We would not advocate for Law
renee County just at this time, any
action to Increase the public debt
in fact we believe that the recent.
ly assumed Court house obligation
should be lifted before other obligi
tons shall be assumed, but we cal
see no reason why that the none,
which Is expended and time which
is put in, in working on the publ,
highways might not be done un
der intelligent supervision thu
Countylover. If this were done
with the wealth OF material will
which our County is blessed, i
would only be few years until W
should see very marked improve
ment in our roads even with TIT
present expenditure.
People who give this road ques
ton careful study find that tn
necessity for new road laws is no
so important as the proper anC
intelligent execution Of the law
which we have.
The good roads which have beel
built near Lawrenceburg, stand a
an object lesson Of what intelligent
road building means, and it is t,
be hoped that every section Of tn
County will be benefited thereby
1t is pretty certain that the gooc
work will continue to be pushe'
in the s district to the extent tn,
funds will warrant.

Physicians and others who have eaten
rice cooked by a Hindoo or a China
man, must have remarked the differ
ence between the results obtained by
these artists and those of the benighted
cooks of the North. We learn from an
authoritative source that the secret
lies in the following recipe:
The rice should be carefully washed
and placed in a kettle of boiling water.
which should be set on the back of the
range over low fire, where the rice
should simmer slowly until done. Stir
ring is not only useless. but harmful.
II there is any water left, it should be
drained off carefully and the rice
should then stand in a hot place for
some time.
Nothing should be added during the
cooking, no salt, sugar, milk or butter.
II the cooking has been done properly,
each grain of rice will stand out by it.

IMPORTING wooLLEss SHEEP.
A Breed That Should Be Useful in the
Extreme South.

Visitors to Barbados have told of
the woolless sheep they have seen teth-
cred along the roads. Nearly every
peasant farmer in the populoHs island
has few of these sheep. 1t does not
cost much to keep them, they fatten
easily and their mutton is highly es-
teemed.
People are not accustomed to asso-
ciate the idea Of profit with woolless
sheep. But two years ago, when Sir
Daniel Morris, the British Agricultural
Commission for the West Indies, WIS.,
tied Washington, the story he told
about the Barbados woolless sheep i'm
pressed the Agricultural Department
with the idea that it might be good
thing to bring them into the United
States
Sir Daniel said that these sheep were
really a fine mutton breed 1t. is
thought in the Barbados that they are
of African origin, but no other animals
have been seen just like them, and
they are probably an adaptation to
Barbados conditions of one of the Afri-
can woolless breeds. Their habits are
very much like those of the goat, and
they are great browsers and very easy
keepers.
The Agricultural Department thought
it might be useful to introduce this
breed among farmers in the extreme
southern parts of the United States.
| Heavily wooded sheep often suffer in
! that part Of the country on account of
| excessive fleece. Our most southern
agricultural regions are not places for
wool growing, but many of the inhab-
itants would be very glad if a home
supply of cheap and good mutton might
| be obtained.
Last summer the Government import
ed small flock Of the woolless sheep,
and the flock is now housed for the
| winter, in charge Of the Bureau of
Animal Industry, on farm maintained
for experimental purposes near Be-
thesda, Md. The temperature condi-
tons are not exactly right for these
natives of the tropics, but they are
provided with everything needed for
their comfort on the Government farm,
and are said to be in thriving condition.
They are fawn color, marked with
streaks of black, and are yearlings, the
ewes averaging little over seventy
five pounds and the bucks weighing
eighty pounds.
It is intended to make a thorough
| investigation Of the value Of this breed
for mutton raising purposes If they
live up to the reputation they have
made at home, it is probable that they
along our southern border.

Rather curious is case reported
from Paris, France, which has arisen
out of the dispatch of letter contain
ing confidential information, which had
been solicited about young man who
had applied for place in commercial
establishment. The tradesman wrote
to the Mayor of his parish, who re-
turned the desired answer, but instead
of keeping this private information
to himself, he communicated it to the
candidate for service with him. The
result was that the young man took
legal action against the Mayor, putting
in claim for damages to the amount
Of 10000 francs. He lost his suit, and
then the Mayor, moving in his turn,
instituted proceedings against the in
discreet tradesman, who has been con-
demned to the payment of 800 francs

A CLEVER ROMAN THIEF
Posed as a Police officer and at Leisure
Ransacked a Flat.

A clever robbery has just taken place
In Rome. One day spruce young man
presented himself to the FORTRESS of
house asking for one of the tenants.
On hearing that she had been absent
for some days, he replied: Eyes, ]
know. She was taken i'll in the street
and was sent to the hospital. 1 am
a police officer sent to take an inven.
tory of the contents of the fat. Just
come up with me-" and he showed hel
what he called his authorization.
On the way up he said that he must
have two other witnesses, and when
these came the four of them went care
fully over everything, taking a minute
inventory, forcing open drawers and
cupboards, nothing being sacred from
them. When this was done the three
witnesses signed the inventory and
the police officer" went off, carrying
with him titles and bonds to the value
of several thousands of francs, to be-
deposited in safety at the police head,
quarters. That same night the tenant
returned, to be greeted with great sur.
prise by the FORTRESS, who exclaimed:
what! Back so soon! And how are
you? Did they treat you well?'
'Treat me WE'LL" exclaimed the other
what do you mean? DoNyou think ]
have been in lunatic asylum"
"Well, hospital is just as bad, isn't
it?'
1T may be-" said the tenant, 'but ]
know nothing of either"
"Why, were you unconscious all the
time?
And so on until the situation was
made clear. She had been visiting
friends. She hurried upstairs alarmed
to find all her little savings gone, and
no trace of the thief, except the con.
fusion which he had left behind.-Pau

Blessing the Beasts.

One of the quaintest ceremonies
which may still be seen in some
parts of Normany is the "benediction
des bestiauX." The oxen, asses and a
few thoroughbred horses which are
raised in that part of France are as
sembled in front of the little church.
There may also be bullock or two
and some cows. The procession of
peasants in their quaint costumes is
sues from the church to the music of a
chant which is droned by the priest
and people. The venerable cure
sprinkles a few drops on the heads Of
each of the beasts, who receive it as it
is given, with becoming air Of con-
viction. When all the animals have
received the benediction bundles tied
up in coarse linen are placed at the
pedestal of the cross facing the church.
These packets contain bread and salt,
which are to be given to the animals
not able to attend the ceremony. There
may be couple of hundred peasants
taking part in this ceremony, and not
trace Of levity or anthing but devout
cOmpOSure is to be seen on their faces.
When the ceremony is completed the
procession passes through the village
chanting, and then disperses. New

frees which cause Headache.

A curious member of the vegetable
kingdom has been discovered in the
Far East. 1t is a species Of acacia
which grows to height of about eight
feet and when full grown closes it's
leaves together in curls each day at
sunset and curls it's twigs in the form
of pig-tail. After the tree has set
tied itself in this way for a nights
sleep, like most sleepers, it objects to
being disturbed. If touched it will
futter as if agitated and impatient at
the interruption of its slumbers. The
oftener the foliage is molested the
more violent becomes the shaking OF
the branches, and at length the tree
emits a nauseating odor, which, in
hailed for. few moments, will cause
violent headache.-Preshyterian Ban
