work of hauling heavy loads

Brigham, in the latest issue OF
the American Geographical So
ciety's Bulletin, points out that
the highway experts of Maryland
estimate that the bad roads OF
that State represent a loss in
useless expenditure of force to
the extent of $4,000, 900 a year.
He tells US that it costs about
one billion dollars annually TO
haul the farm products to the
United States, and of this sum
$500, 900, ,O00, or nearly two-thirds,
are wasted in the energy ex-
pended in overcoming the resls-
tance of bad roads. He holds,
very naturally, in the light OF
these facts, that the $40, 900, 600
expended annually by England
and Wales upon their roads and
the ss7, 500, ,oOS expended by
France is true economy. The
,bad movement in the South has
fos its objective point the Ma
tional Treasury. They want
Uncle Sam to resume the busi-
ness of road building which he
dropped some seventy-tive years
ago. They may come, butt is a
good ways off. Those States
willfrstreap the enormous bene-
fit of good roads which go ahead
and build them by State and
local appropriation without wait
ing for overburdened Uncle Sam
to take up this line of national
expenditure. ."-Phila. Press.

THE END IN SIGHT

For ten years the strength OF
the Union Republican organiza-
ton has been in the unanlmlty
shown in all it's dealings. No
matter how much or what tne
members of the organization
would say about matters OF pol
icy or procedure, when the com.
mittees or the caucuses petsthe
will Of one man has been sa;
preme. To the outside world a9
unbroken front was displayed.
Undoubtedly, this is the strong
est kind of a machine, but IL
carries with it it's own destroyer.
The truth of this is evidenced by
the events of the past week at
Dover. In spite of the promises
made that the two parties were
to be welded together, and IN tne
future there should be but one
Republican party, Senator Alice
and Secretary Of State Layton
have done more to widen the
breach since the Goth OF Decem-
Der last, than had been done for
months before. And the meat IN
the cocoanut has been the Secre'
taryof Stateship. Governor Lea
positively refused to accept the
nomination when it was ten
dered with a limitation OF choice
as to this Office, and was finally
agreed upon without pledges or
promises. Still, the leaders OF
the Union Republicans had so
often used the unbrokenfront OF
party discipline in their efforts
to accomplish their purposes that
they decided to use IL 10 secure d
second for the present holder OF
the Secretary Of States office.
But there is another Union Re-
publican who considers that his
worth and work are such as to
give him the right to ask for the
place, and he finds some inhuen-
tial friends to help him. Among
his friends are Senator Penniwell
and Representative Benson.
They are not willing that solemn
pledges and promises shall be-
broken and disregarded, simply
to keep DR.. Layton in Office.
They boldly say SO, and as a con-
sequence, the Legislature will
probably be organized and ready
for business on Monday.
It takes courage to assume
the position that the Senator and
Representative above referred to
have taken, and they will attract
more to them as the session
wears older. Already there are
seven members who are ready to
drop the "Addicks or nobody"
cry and to concede that The Re-
publicans of New Castle County
shall be represented in the Sen
ate of the United States by a |
man of their choice and not by
the choice of Kent and Sussex

pie in Pompeii got away when the
ashes began to rain down, for they
must have seen that 1t wasn't going to
be q light shower, but a deluge, cause
they never have found many corpses.
They must have run to Naples, and
may be they are running yet. and you

Say, do you know that some OF those

Q hurry that they left bread baking In

thing to me of anything I ever saw.
We went all through the streets and

claimed that the men who were re.

frauds who were infringing on POmpe!i

believe me when I told I'm that tele|

uncovering a parlor. where rich things
were being discovered, he saw that II
was all right.

him that anybody who saw a thing

WILD FLOWER BEAUTY.
Everyone Can Add This to Her Home
and the Gathering and Arrange
ment Is Most Interesting.

Not every one has a flower garden,
but every one who spends even a part
of the summer in the country has he
freedom of the roadsides, pastures,
meadow and woods; the wild gardens
which belong to every man and no
man. where every one is free to gather
and no n to forbid. OF course it is
by courtesy and custom that this free
dom extends to the fields and woods.
and perhaps the unacknowledYed obi
CATION enhances the privilege of leav-
ing the long, narrow roadside flower
beds and looking for rarer and more
effective things along fences and
hedges, and in Swallowed and solitary
places.
II one has acquired the habit OF wild
flower gathering, and the knowledge of
what to gather and how to bring her
gleanings safely home. and the still
further knowledge of the best decora-
tive effect to be gotten from them, she
has reached a possibility Of great sat

A FEW FASHION NOTES.

ming, the fact should be borne In mind
that 1t Is good policy to leave the bast-
ings in the plaits until the garment 10
entirely finished. Many home Dress
makers are in too big a hurry to take
out basting threads. In buying a ready
made box plated or plated skirt,
1t will be noticed that when 1t
reaches home the garment still
has the plaits stitched down
with hastings, and that ought to
be hint enough to induce the amateur
to leave her hastings in place till she Is
almost ready to wear the garment. OF
course, this does not apply In the case OF
hastings for seams or hens, but just for
those which are put to hold certain
things in place and which can just a.

time as 1t Is completed. Plaits in waists,
especially sleeves, a be left in. though
the temptation is strong in the amateur
to remove them and "see how II looks
But the exercise Of a little patience in
this respect means added comeliness to
the completed garment.

as ever. 1t is generally made double
breasted, and cut away to take in q
chemisette of plated muslin and Valen-
ciennes lace. or one Of coarse lace and
perhaps a rolled collar of some colored
velvet. A touch of velvet is always q
welcome finish to a cloth frock. and on
a plain sleeve buttoning tightly down to
the wrist we often note a small, turned
back cuff of velvet to match the rolled
collar of velvet at the neck of the habit
bodice.
The changes that have been made in
tailor mades are not so great as those
that have been made in other branches
OF dress, because for some time past the
pioneers in the sartorial world have de-
termined that the tailor made frock
should be plain in cut, with sleeves of
small, neat dimensions. and the note
OF elaboration is struck by braidings and
similar trimmings.

A Clean Face.

U~ncleanliness of the complexion Is
often the cause OF unsightly blemishes.
The pores become SO clogged with at
mospheric dust that they become ir-
ritated in their work of breaking
through the blockade, and eruptions
result. A good facial shampoo is made
by melting pure CASTLE soap and to
half a cupful OF this liquid adding one
teaspoonful Of alcohol. Apply TO the
face, rubbing in thoroughly and using
hot water freely. Rub away the suds
with almond meal. thea battle the face
