ing the winter season, and their
shade produces a dampness in sum-
mer which is undesirable. The build
ing of macadam roads has materially
changed conditions. Trees do make
moisture, and that is what is wanted
to preserve and prolong the life of
the stone road. The highways of
France are noted for their beautiful
trees along their sides, and the
French road builders recognize their
value in affording shade and moist
ure, the. latter being considered an
essential element in maintenance.
Fruit trees and walnut or other nut
bearing trees can be made to yield a
profitable income, as well as to fur1
nish shade and add beauty to the
landscape. Flowers in the yard close
to the roadside are always attractive.
How to beautify the roadside is GER

The Best Remedies.

The young squash plants are at
tackled when they are just appearing
above ground, to. prevent which the
hills should be covered with wire net
ting, the edges to be buried under
the soil, as the bugs will endeavor
to get under them. The netting will
also keep out the flea beetles and
yellow and black-striped bugs. AS
soon as the plants have five leaves
the covers should be removed and
the bugs fought by other methods.
Some gardeners plant more seeds
than can properly develop in order
to provide against the destruction
of the whole hill. The bugs are not
partial to clean cultivation. Tho
burning of useless rubbish in the
fields reduces the winter shelter, and
all vines should be collected, and
burned after harvesting the crop,
The bugs may be collected by hand
from the vines, or from the squash
plants between the rows used as
traps. The bugs also seek shelter
under leaves, in the earth, under
clods or boards, or wherever they
can find a covering. All eggs should
be destroyed and the vines examined
twice a day. The bug will always
leave the melon or cucumber for the
squash, hence a few squash vines
among the melons and cucumbers
will trap them. Kerosene emulsion
may be used. An eight per cent. kerr
osene emulsion may injure the
plants, about seven per cent. being
strong enough (seven parts kerosene
to 100 parts water). 1t is also i'm
portant to kill as many bugs as pos
sible in autumn, after the crop is har-
vested, and be sure to burn every
vine. When spraying the vines care
should be used, as the kerosene and
water must be intimately mixed. The
first flow should be on the ground
for a minute, as it may contain too
much kerosene. Spray the vines
lightly, not too much, the spray to
be very fine. The mixture will drive
the bugs from their covers, when
they can then be destroyed, but, as
stated before, everything depends
upon destroying them by hand

QUEER WAY TO LAY A CABLE.
Hauling a Bunch of Telephone Wires
by Locomotive.

In many parts of the country it is
permissible to string telephone Wires
on poles, like telegraph wires, and
there they are carried singly. In large
cities local ordinances often compel
the telephone companies to bury their
wires, as far as possible. Where this
is to be done it is customary to unite
so pairs of fine wires, each insulated
from the other and all inclosed in a
lead pipe, which serves as armor. The
inside wrappings consist of silk and pa
per. For the crossing of rivers and
harbors it is usual to employ cables of
this description. Not long ago it was
found necessary to add fifth one to
the four already in service across the
Connecticut at Middletown. On some
previous occasion cable was
stretched out on the ice which covered
the streams and was lowered through
a slot that was cut when the right mo-
ment arrived. This plan was not avail
able the last time. 1t was also found
inconvenient to get a steam tug from
a neighboring seaport to do the work.
According to the American Tele-
phone Journal, it was finally decided
to use a locomotive. The cable proper
was 1910 feet long, or nearly one-third
of mile. 1t had been coiled up on a
reel on a freight car of the platform
type. To one end was hitched stout
messenger" wire, and the latter was
taken out into the river in rowboat.
Another piece of messenger wire was
brought from the opposite shore by
similar means and the two were
fastened together securely.
The section of the wire from the far
side passed through block attached
to a telephone pole, thence through a
second block attached to the railroad
track, and was fastened to the drawbar
Of the locomotive. The locomotive
then was moved along the track, draw
ing the cable through the river by
means Of the messenger wire. Suf-
Acient tension on the cable was main

Eastern Invasion of the West.

In fact, within the short space OF
three years after the Spanish War
there was scarcely an important point
of investment left untouched by East
ern funds and Eastern promotive en-
terprise. And had we but realized
it then, as we do in beholding the
consequences now, we might long
since have wrapped around our
sleeves the mourning badge for the
things which were being lost to us
forever For, when Hartman bought
the Chicago & Alton, it was th cross
ing of the Rubicon for us. Behind
him rallied all the vast machinery
Of modern commerce and finance, as
the colossal power of imperial Rome
was massed behind Caesar, and after
he had taken under his command the
Pacific railroads there was nothing
for us to do, but like the Goths. to
forsake our perhaps crudcr but GER
tainly happier and mere peaceful
habits and habitats, and to become
d -ciples, followers or allies of the
strenuous deman IS and customs of
the maturer world to the eastward

Improve the Roadsides.

Now that the work of road con-
struction is in full progress it seems
proper time to consider what to do
with the roadside, says the Good
Roads Magazine. The advantages of
setting out trees along the highway,
the planting of shrubbery and flow
ers, and the elimination of features
which do not tend to make attractive,
have been frequently dwelt upon in
these columns. In some of the
States the question is looked upon as
much part of the system as the
roadbed itself, and laws have been
passed providing for planting trees
and cutting noxious weeds, while in
others the subject does not appear to
have been given the consideration it
deserves.
Many farmers believe that nothing
but grass should be allowed to grow
along the roadside. The reason for
this is no doubt due partly to the
fact of their conservatism in follow
ing in the footsteps of their ances-
tors, and this prevents them from
looking at the subject in any other
light than that it is the proper thing
to do to make clean sweep Of every
thing in the shape of trees and
shrubbery. Among their arguments
are that the trees, cause drifting dur.

INDIAN TREASURE TRoVE.
Ancient Silver Coins Found by Chill
10 dren While at Play.

The small village of Jogaltembhi, in
the Bombay district, is likely to earn
transient fame among numismatists
and archaeologists by reason of the ac-
Cidental discovery within it's limits of
great hoard of very ancient coins.
The place of concealment of the coins
was found by children V lille at play.
Excavation disclosed an earthen pot
firmly imbedded in the hillside and
filed to overfiowing with silver coin,
much of which the villagers proceed
ed in the true commercial spirit to
melt down. But the story of the find
spread further than the limits of Jo-
galtembhi; and within a short time the
balance of the treasure, about 10000
coins, had rightly found a resting place
in the local treasury under the treasure
trove act.
The coins are all silver, of approx
mately the same size and type. On
the diverse appears the head of the
king who struck them-a fine face, de-
spite the defects of the die, marked
by a broad eye, a splendid aquiline
nose, and firm chin, with just sus-
picion of thickness about the lips.
Around the head runs a legend in de-
based Greek characters, which Prof.
Rapson, but lately appointed to the va
cant chair of Sanskrit 81 Cambridge,
and the late Pundit Bhagwanlal Indra-
il declare to be a transliteratiOn of
bilingual legend on the reverse of the
coin. The coins are those of Nahapa
ma, the founder of the dynasty Of the
Western Kshatrapas, which ruled over
a considerable portion of western India
from A. d. 119 to A. d. $685.
Although several specimens of the
coins struck by Nahapana's success
ors (e. g., Chashtana and Rudrada-
mani have been found, only a few of
Nahapana have hitherto come to light
at Mask, Junagadh and Mahumdebad;
and those were by no means such good
specimens as these of Jogaltembhi,
which, safely preserved within their
earthen casket, have defied the adverse
infunce of nigh Is centuries.-Times

Building Roads in Illinois.

Building good roads all over the
West is more general now than ever
before. The Drovers Journal, in re-
lerring to this work in Illinois, SAYS:
As a means of educating the peo-
pie to the advantages of good roads
and of the ways and methods to Pro-
duce them the State highways COM
mission of Illinois is pushing as rap
idly as possible the construction of
number OF experimental roads in var
ious sections of the State.
One stretch of road has been COM
pieted at Salem. Ill. This road is
just outside the limits OF the city Of
Salem. The highway commissioners
OF Salem township applied for bro
ken stone, which was furnished them,
and piece of road built by the local
commissioners; owing to the lack of
proper methods the road thus laid
was poorly made. The State high
way commission completed about O.
200 feet of the work with the aid of
steam roller and modern methods
OF construction, making rs smooth
and fine appearing a piece of road
rs can be found anywhere.
The width of the macadam is
about fourteen feet and put on eight
inches deep; part of the work was
resurfacing the road laid by the local
commissioners. at the end of which
was about GOO feet of newly con-
structed road. The exact cost of
this work cannot be ascertained ow-
ing to the lack of records on the
work done prior TO that under charge
Of the State highway commission.
The estimated cost of this work per
mile. including grading and shaping
the subgrade, hauling the stone
distance of about a mile and a quar-
ter, spreading and rolling, is about
$500. The material was furnished
free by the State from the State
rock crusher at The Southern Illinois
penitentiary at Itenard. THE freight
on the stoae over the Illinois South
ern railroad was paid in ballast.
The contrast between the portion
of road built with the steam roller
and that upon which the roller was
not used furnishes a most striking
illustration OF the importance OF
proper equipment and technical ex-
perieEce in Highway construction.

A Fish Story.

There lives in Franklin, Pa, a GER
tain Mr. Allen, who q short time ago
caught a trout foot long. He was
unwilling to eat such fine fish, and
so he took it home and placed it in
a large tank of water. Every day he
went to look at it and fed it with flies,
which it swallowed greedily, and
grew SO tame that whenever he ap-
preached, it came to the side and
asked for food AS the trout seemed
so domesticated, Mr.. Allen put it in
strear which runs closely by his
house, but the fish refused to take
advantage of it's liberty, and when
ever he went to the river it came up
and wagged it's tail with the pleasure
of seeing him. But whenever Mr..
Allen takes a friend with him, the
fish refuses to come to the surface,
and hides himself until the friend
has departed. Mr.. Allen is usually
considered very truthful man.

accidents in American cities is be-

people in this country. that would
mean that $4,000 people in America

authority. some 1,664,000 persons
are more or less seriously injured
