The Windaw Habit.

In nearly every home in New York
that has windows fronting on those av-
enues traversed by elevated trains
there are one or more particular cush-
ions known as the elevated cushions"
AS their name implies, they are cush-
ions on which the members of the fam
lily rest their elbows when leaning out
Of the window to look at either the
passing elevated trains or what is go
ing on In the street below. This lcok-
ing out of the window habit is particu-
larly New York one, one that is no.
ticed Immediately by those coming
here from out of town. Residents Of

If there is anything in particular going
on, but here women and children by
day and men, women and children by
night may be said fairly to live with
their heads projecting from the win
dows. This habit is not prompted by
any particular curiosity; it is simply
born of the desire to be in touch with
what is going on, though one may be Il

Cinnamon have been exporting their
porcelain to the west for at least
thousand years and probably longer.
Medieval Europe could make nothing
like porcelain and therefore regarded
It as magical product endowed with
uncanny powers. 1t was said, for in-
stance, that porcelain cup would
break II poison were poured into 1t.
Travellers declared that porcelain was
composed of various substances, which,
after being tempered, were hidden in
the ground for ages before being fit for
use. Even SO erudite man as Sir
Thomas Browne, writing In the later
seventeenth century, was mot thor
oughly resolved, concerning porcellane
or china dishes, that according to COM
mon belief they are made of EARTH"
The secret Of the true Chinese porce-
lain was first discovered in Europe a
generation later by the German chem
list Bottger, the inventor of what is
now known as Dresden china.

GOOD ROADS CLUBS,

Scheme Of Missouri Farmers to Work
the Highways.
Farmers who live along rural free
delivery route No. 2, out Of Bevier, in
Macon county, Mo-, have organized
road working clubs Of from four to
six members, says Bevier dispatch
to the Kansas City Star. Each club
has road drag and assumes respon-
sibility for given number Of miles.
The entire route is worked after every
rain.
The rural mail carrier, G. A. Smith,
challenges anybody In the state to
produce as good section Of dirt road
as the one he travels over. BY the
clubbing plan no one has to make any
great sacrifice to perform his share of
the work. There is a keen rivalry be-
tween the different clubs to make their
respective jurisdictions excel in
smoothness. Culverts, fencing and hills
are also treated and repaired by the
clubs.
The scheme was inaugurated to fur
nish the mail carrier a good route in
the bad weather. 1t was found that a
little extra effort would make first
class permanent road, and the farmers
decided to perfect their system. The
road is now ideal for any sort of yehi-
cles or automobiles. Smith says that
two years experience in the service
has convinced him that the drag is the
best tool for the country road" With
about two hours labor for one man
and team shortly after rain the
farmer can make half mile of good
road, and it will remain so until an
other heavy rain comes, when the per-
formance has to be repeated. The clubs
along route No. 2 have demonstrated
to their satisfaction that it Is cheaper
to build good roads by their individual
effort than to depend on the old system
followed by the county

A sTRAwED ROAD IN WASHINGTON.

A sTRAwED ROAD IN WASHINGTON.
also been available and have been
largely utilized. The proper practice Is
to take road grader and shape up the
road before putting on the straw.
Straw to depth of six or eight inches
is then scattered over the center of the
roadbed to a sufficient width to GER
tainly cover the wheel tracks. About
eight feet is sufficient width for this.
If put on in this way from sixteen to
twenty rack loads will be sufficient to
straw a mile. 1t would be better If the
straw could be put on in two different
applications, the first in June and the
second In August. This would tend to
prevent the cutting of the road up into
dust in the first instance, and it would
give a much more effective result, but
where this is not practicable the single
application in August works wonders.
The first thing which happens is that
a little dust works up In with the straw
and tends to hold it down and to pre-
vent a fire spreading in it should one
be started anywhere. The second Won
derful thing which happens is that in
some way the dust underneath this
straw also begins to consolidate, and
after awhile, if the straw is raked off.
it will be found that the road surface
is hard and firm.
Those who have never seen the re-
suits of strawing would positively dis
credit any statements made as to the
actual benefits which result. They are
simply marvellous The tractivc capac
ity Of the animals is at once increased,
sometimes as much as 100 per cent
The dust is no longer in evidence, fill
ing the eyes and hair and destroying
the clothes, as well as impeding the
efforts Of the animals.
A brief account of the beginning OF
this practice in Washington should be
interesting in this connection. After
considerable missionary effort on the
part of Mr.. Whitney to get the matter
properly before the people, he received
permission to go ahead and do some
strawing, but it was only permission,
and it did not carry with it either the
money or the straw. However, those
who know Mr.. Whitney can understand
that he was not stumped at this juno
ture. Before the sun went down that
night he had $40 in cash subscribed
and over 100 loads Of straw promised.
He then appointed 100 men in different
localities to act as captains and had
designated Aug. 20, 1901, as day to
be observed in Wallawalla county as
straw day." The orders to his cap

From 3oO. to 400 loads Of straw were
strewn over the highways that first

| miles of road, all told, were thus Inn

| A good strawed road renewed an

those who travel it than would mac

while the disparity in cost would be
enormous. A good macadam road

How Rats Multiply.

A pair of rats happily situated and
undisturbed will in three years have
increased to 656,sOS Calculating that
ten rats eat as much in one day as a
man, which we think is rather under
than over the fact, the consumption of
these rats would be equal to that of
65,6SO men the year round and leave
eight rats in the year to spare. Null
tiplying in this rapid way, it is provi-
dental that the rat has so many nat
ural enemies. All these to the con-
trary notwithstanding, he often proves
sufficiently troublesome to make the
community conspire against him. In
Ireland they SINCE the hair of a rat
which, has been caught, but otherwise
it is unharmed. In Germany they let
one loose with small bell attached to
its neck. The tinkling Of this as the
belled rat chases his friends produces
a panic among them and carsss them
to flee the premises.

Highway Engineering.

This new profession was first recog

Rhode Island College of Agriculture
and Mechanic Arts, when, in the au-
tumn Of 1904, it adopted full four
years course in highway engineering,
for the completion of which the degree
Of bachelor Of science is given. :. Two
Of the senior class Of the present year
have taken the course and have quail
fed as highway engineers. The course
is attracting considerable attention and
has the cordial Endorsement of the best
highway experts of the country. There
can be no doubt of the need of good
highways and Of the future demand
for men who are thoroughly trained as
highway engineers. The course offered
by the Rhode Island college is prac-
tical as well as theoretical, and grad
yates will be prepared to fill satisfac-
torily the positions which are sure to

MONEY FROM THE ROADSIDE
Other Countries Make 1t by Plant-
ing Fruit Trees.

Other Countries Make 1t by Plant-
ing Fruit Trees.
In the Country Calendar John A..
Cass writes:
The land on both sides Of the road
way can be planted with fruit trees of
various kinds. 1t will then become as
an inclosed orchard-in fact, it will be
an orchard without need Of an in
closure, for most states now have laws
which forbid allowing cattle to run at
large. This would not be an expert
mental step, for it has already been
demonstrated that 1t can be satisfacto-
rily taken. In small way the advan-
tages Of it have been shown in one or
two states of the Union, while in for
eign countries it has long since become
an established practice. In France,
for example, great success has attend
ed 1t. 1t appears that the movement
was started by the government, but SO
satisfactory did 1t prove that the towns
and communes soon took it up on their
own account. It Is now an important
industry and is yielding a revenue Of
nearly $6O,0OO,OOO per annum. No par
ticular tree Is used to the exclusion
Of others, but different kinds are cho-
sen with regard to their adaptation to
the soil and climate. In the south the
cherry predominates, and the fruit is
used in the manufacture of wines, pre-
serves and alcohol. In Touraine the
plum is most in evidence, while through
out Allier and Limogne huge walnut
trees transform the dusty highways in
to shaded and beautiful walks or
drives. Nor Is France alone in the
work. for in Germany, in Belgium and
In the duchy Of Luxembourg the plan
Is largely In vogue. And it is profit.
able. On the roadsides of Wurttemberg
for instance, the fruit grown In 1875
was valued at over 100000, while
twenty years later it was estimated at
$750,0OO, and Belgium statistics show
that up to 1896 there had been planted
along the highways of that small coun.
try 741, ,571 trees, from which there had
even then been realized net profit OF
nearly 100000.
''In the light Of these facts, let some
competent and careful statistician tel
us what might be done in this wonder
ful land Of ours. Surely it would be
safe to affirm that the revenue which
might be derived from these roadside
trees would be sufficient for building
all needed highways and for keeping
them in constant repair"

STRAWING OF ROADS
VALUE OF THE PRACTICE TOLD BY
JAMES w. ABBOTT.

Tractive Capacity of Animals at
Once Greatly Increased - Dust No
Longer In Evfdence-HOw to Pre-
pare Roads Before Applying Straw.
If perfect road is beyond the
means Of a community or district it
Is no reason why an effort should be
neglected for something better than
existing conditions. Professor King,
with his crude slit log device to scrape
mud roads, has started a campaign
for better things in the prairie states,
which will produce beneficial results
that cannot yet be measured, says
James w. Abbott, special agent Noun
tain and Pacific Coast division, Office
of public road inquiries, in the Good
Roads Magazine.
In this class comes the strawed road
practice Of eastern Washington. 1t
was introduced by Charles L. Whit
ney Of Wallawalla, who had himself
seen it applied in limited way in the
Sacramento valley Of California, where
he had formerly lived. The soil in the
wheatfields Of that section has been
produced by the disintegration Of lava.
It's structure is such that under the
wheels of loaded wagons it grinds up
to an impalpable powder. AS the
ground gets drier and drier during
the summer and the traffic produced
after the harvest of crops has acted
upon the roads this dust becomes an
unbearable nuisance. The problem Of
constructing the very best road in
eastern Washington is not an easy one
at best, but it is certainly true that to
build and maintain a perfect road un-
der such conditions would be excep-
tionally expensive.
The practice Of putting straw on
the roads is a device to ameliorate
these conditions very materially at
trifling expense. The stubble left in
the fields by the headers makes the
very best material available for this
purpose, and it can be readily moved
and used, but the straw stacks have
