PRACTICAL ROAD BUILDING,

sideration at Ohio State
Unworthy.

The question Of improving public
highways is one of general interest in
Ohio at the present time. The numer-
GUS bills introduced in the last legis-
lature for the improvement Of public
roads showed plainly that it is becom-
ing a generally recognized fact that
one of the most important questions
for the state is to provide better pub

A Denand For Feathers

A London dealer in such wares last
year received from India the skins of
5000 birds of paradise to adorn the hats
of the feather-wearing British women
and to meet the export need. At the
same time he got about half million
humming bird skins and an equal num-
Der of those of various other tropical
birds. There is an auction room in Lon.
don where such things are sold, ana its
recent record for third of year was
close to million skins, all told, coming
mainly from the East and West Indies
and Brazil.

HEALTH AND BEAUTY.

Eggs are easier to digest when slight
" boiled than when eaten raw.
Lettuce, celery, dandelions, crosses
and similar salads are good nerve tonics.
A person suffering from chronic rheu-
matism should avoid dried fish, cooked
oysters, pork. veal and turkey.
The sufferer from dyspepsia will find
turnips, spinach, crosses, salads, celery,
sorrels, lettuce, dandelions, ripe peach
es and roasted apples on his bill of fare.
Our grandmothers used buttermilk
for removing freckles and probably
worked less harm with It than many
modern danes do with things less sim
pie. 1t is doubtful whether buttermilk
will remove freckles; but it is helpful in
preventing their appearance. 1t should
be quite fresh; and for lack of observing
this important fact many would-be gain
ers of beauty have acquired pimples.
The women Of the far east are SO not
ed for their grace of carriage that ON
writer has said that they carry them
selves like the figure of an antique
frieze, as they walk along with q state
ly stride, bearing on their heads baskets
or jars of butter and eggs, or other home
produce. There is lesson in this ex-
ample of the women of the orient AMI
it lies in the fact that they walk with
straight figure and uplifted head.
To make glycerin jelly equal to that
sold and quite pure, dissolve q one
ounce packet of table gelatin in a little
water; then whisk it into a pint of glyc-
erin. Pour into pots. If too stiff add
more glycerin. An ounce packet of gel
attn stirred into four ounces of glycerin
will cause the gelatin to set like stiff
glue. This cut into squares, is excellent
to use in throat troubles. A tin of con.
densed milk, four ounces of glycerin.
two ounces of honey and half pound
of sugar make honeyscotch, nice u
take and very nutritious. If a laxative
is required, two teaspoonfuls of glycerin
swallowed warm at intervals of an hour
are what is needed. As 4 cure for indi-
gestion teaspoonful Of glycerin after
meals is valuable.

One of the strangest cases of KEEP

heard Of in Paris. A certain lady had
such passion for smoking and for
coloring meerschaum pipes that she
had been for a long time stealing pipes
Of this description from shops. In the
fiat which she occupied there were
found no fewer than 1900 pipes, not

ory, cypress, gum and cottonwood.
The opportunity which the bureau oil
forestry finds is this: On the narrow
strip inside the levees cottonwood car
be grown with almost no care and har.
vested when the trees are from IS to 4C
years old. This wood now has a recog.
nized place in the market for the man
ufacture of boxes, for furniture backs
washboards, etc. One company alone
uses $1,000, 900 board feet a year for max.
ing washboards.
Behind the levees much of the land
will undoubtedly be reclaimed for agri.
culture, but until that shall be done the
opportunity to maintain forest of val.
liable trees is too good to be lost. In this
forest white ash is the most important
species, both because it grows more
rapidly than oak and some other woods
and because it is in constant demand
and can be used in shtall sizes. The ash
has been pretty we'll cat out of this for
est, even to trees as small as six inches
in diameter. This is wasteful, and the
bureau recommends the application OF
more conservative numbering to these
lands. This simply means that the ma.
ture trees of all species shall he logged
carefully, and that in taking them Out
the young, immature trees, especially
those of ash and hickory, of which there
is also small quantity, shall be care
fully preserved and left to grow until
they reach merchantable size, or di-
ameter of about 20 inches. If this Is
done, the owners of the land can count
on a second crop of valuable timber be-
fore the land may be required for farm

Ofcourse, under such system of man.

The whole question of the profitable
management of these forest lands lies
within the control of the owners. In
stead of reaping one harvest, as they
now do, it will be almost as easy to Sc.
cure successive crops SO long as the land
remains unavailable for farming
When that time comes the forest must
give way permanently.

praised. But far too little is said in
commentator of the continual self

husbands, and, particularly, of hus-

is the married woman's paradise. She
has more leisure, more freedom to go

luxury in life than her husband dreams
of having. American husbands toll

FIRE AT sEWANEE.
T~enty-ilve Thousand Dollar Blaze Sat-
 urday.

uFday.
 Sewanee. Tenn. Special
 The big stone building containing the university supply store the professors club, the local branch of the Bank of Bose, the Treasurer of the University. was destroyed by fIe early Saturday morning. The total loss is about $25,- 000, with insurance aggregating S15,O00.
 The origin of the fire is unknown. It was discovered by Marcus Handley, the negro barber, who immediately awak- ened J. Nj. Leiper, Jr, and w. A. Mette, of Nashville, two of the supply ytoFe clerks, whose room is in the base nent of the bull ling. The basement was already choked with smoke, and it was only with difficulty that Mir. Mette and MT. Leiper succeeded in max ing their way out.
 A few minutes later the bell In Bres- ifn tower sounded the alarm, and the students came forth from every direc- ton. Despite their efforts. however, the loss was almost total. The $10,000 stock of the supply store was complete Iy destroyed. as were the rare library files of the professors club on the floor above. The local branch oE the Bank of Winchester was mora fortunate, as its steel ick-encased vault appears to be Intact, although still too hot to be examined. The large iron safe of the University, however, in which were kept many valuable records and papers, fell when the floor gave way, and cracked, so that 1t Is not thought pos sible that any of its contents can be preserved.
 The administrative affairs of the University have been thrown into con siderable confusion by the fire. How ever, temporary quarters are being se cured. and 1t is believed that sufficient records have been saved to secure the University against any heavy loss in this respect. .~.
 Plans are already being made for the erection of a more commodious and substantial building on the site of the old one, in which the same concerns and offices will probably be housed Owing to the insuficiency of the tempo rary quarters, the new building will be arranged for and built at once.
 This is the second time the supply store of the University has been de- stFoyed by fire the first building hay ing been burned several years ago, and the late substantial stone structure having been built in its stead.
