The Destruction of POmpeii.

THE following WIS written by Ray O Davis,
twelve years old, pupil Of Washington
School.)
II was summer evening bright.
Another day had almost passed;
The day was fading into night
When To- there came Il furious blast
Out of the eirth Il seemed to rise
As though its goal was The vaulted skies.
Again il came; again it rOarei;
again 10 the skies cncesmore il scared.
Escape Pompe.ians before Its too late,
For in that blast lies your fate.
Before another dawn has broke
Pompeii will be nothing but lava and smoke.
Already the heavens are obscured By IRE
Of volcanoes wrathful glare,
As though they were the heavens ire,
Leagued with the demons Of despair.
After a night in terror spent,
Those who escaped their steps unbent
BUk toward Pompeii they came,
10 find there nothing but SMOKE and flame.

The work of highway improvement,
In Indiana moves steadily forward.
though it attracts less general atten-
ton perhaps than the road building In
states where the question is new and
provokes more discussion. Each year

1000 miles to her system Of gravel

How to Make Currant Punch.


Among the delicious summer drinks
there is hone more refreshing than cur
rant punch.
Three pints Of ripe currants and one
pint Of red raspberries will make a
large punch bowl full. Crush the fruit
and add the juice Of two lemons and
two oranges and three quarts Of water.
Sweeten to the taste with sugar sirup.
Let stand for about an hour, then filter
through a jelly bag. Chill on ice be-
fore serving. Put small quantity Of
shaved ice into each glass and fill the
glasses with the punch. 1t is better to
add the cold sugar slrup after strain
ing.
Sugar slrup is made by boiling gran
ulated sugar with half the quantity
measured by cupfuls-of cold water
for ten minutes cooling before 1t is
used

Beach are made of cochina rock, and il
has been used in .he construction of
the excellent road which has recently
been completed between Palm Beach
and Miami.
Roads on which this material has
been used require but little repairing,
the experience having been that they
improve with age, the stone being
ground down until 1t is like the finest
macadam.
On the southern automobile circuit
the motorists recently encountered
many crews and gangs of convicts at
work along the Palm Beach Miami
road. They also passed a convict
camp where the prisoners were en-
gagged in mining the cochina rock at
the roadside.
The convicts are worked In gangs of
half dozen or so. They are under
guard of keeper, who carries load
ed rifle, while dogs are kept at hand
to track any prisoner who might feel
lmpelled to take French leave. This,
however. rarely happens. Florida Is
not a land In which one would be
tempted TO run away.

FLORlDA's FINE HIGHWAYS.
Great Work of COnvicts ON Good
Roads Proposition.

The use of convict labor in the con
struction of public works is phase of
economics which has been tried in the
southern states with greater or less
need of success. says the Motor News.
Florida is the latest state to fall IN
line and put her convicts to work, and
road building is the task which has
been chosen for the wrongdoers. This
work has now been going on for some
time, aud at the results accomplished
the Floridians express great satisfsc-
ton. The work. they say, is not only
beneficial in giving the prisoners an
opportunity to do something. but the
exercise and outdoor life tend TO the
Improvement of their health.
Under the system adopted in the
Peninsular State the prison laborers
enter scarcely at all in competition
with their free brothers. The roads
would not be built If the cost was
high, and as the state obtains the labor
for the bare cost of keeping the labor
ers the expense of laying out and
building magnificent system of high
ways is comparatively slight.
Along the east coast of Florida there
are inexhaustible quarries of cochina
rock while in the district lying south
of Daytona to New Smyrna great
quantities of oyster shells are to be
found. Both furnish excellent ma
terials for road building. Thus Florida
has close at hand an abundant and
cheap supply Of road material.
The cochina rock is soft and easily
quarried. 1t requires but simple ma
chinery to crush it. some of it being
merely granulated beneath rollers aft
er 1t is placed on the surface of the
road. The beautiful baths at Palm
