tive men for my idea of said law.
Nothing is success unless it has
a fountain head as a rule, and road
building is not an exception to that
rule, so the first thing to do is to
have commissioner for the county
who thoroughly understands laying off.
building and mainta ming roads. Pay
him fair salary aud require all of
his time when needed Let him ap-
point overseers owe all the roads of
the same qualifications and if he can
not find such overseers close to the
roads, to hire a competent man to take
charge of said road or roads and work
them. and hold the commissioners and
overseers responsible before the Grand
jury for any malfeasance or missile
ance in office-the commissioners to
prosecute the oyerseers, the States
attorney the commissioners. Make the
penalties heavy, so as to |or5e either
to do the work.
This being done the next thing is
the revenue to pay for road building,
and this is the rub. Most people con-
clude that it costs but very little to
build roads and this little cost the
other fellows should pay. 1t is not
right to tax the real estate for all of
the necessary funds or is it right to
he necessary funds. nor is it right to
ak labor and real estate with it all,
rs is now done, but all property should
be taxed What are roads made for?
Are they for horseback riders or foot
men? If for this there would be no
roads built. But roads are built for
vehicle travel. This being true then |
why not tax every wagon and every |
other vehicle, especially those of pleas |
ire Tax laborers say four days and
allow them to pay it out for $500. |
This is reasonable and makes the |
aborer feel like he is citizen and |
certainly no man could object to pay |

General HouseWork Girls.

From Good Housekeeping
My experience has taught Just this Our
servants are not our equals In point OF edu-
cation. Then let the educated mind be high
in authority. No system can be strong
where there is not a good leader. Let our
, servants feel and see that we know just
as much, If not more, about their work
than they do. To do this we must look
into things carefully, for no woman ignor-
ant of the ms and outs of house can
control her maid. Any mind VIII always
respond to the superiority of knowledge.
1t Is not necessary to parade this knoWl-
edge But IL Mary knows that by coming TO
her mistress she will be helped out of any
difficulty, she respects that mistress.
Yet, while we are above our servants in
the management of our homes, the mistress
and maid are equals under the laws of our
land. The mistress who is wise Will not
pry into the private affairs of her maid.
We cannot, and do not; demand all her
time. A ten-hour day seems to me imprac-
ticable, for homework in its nature does
not admit of q ten-hour day unless we can
resolve it into specialties. That may work
well where there is more than one maid,
but to the average American housekeeper
it would mean great deprivation.
Tire real, true, earnest spirit Of leadership
always counts. There is no humiliation in
prompt obedience. By strength L do not
mean a show of bossism, but a quiet, just.
earnest spirit that will impress others with
a desire to do good work.

pairs, may assist the novice.
Don't heat a stove rapidly the first time.
Don't pile the coal above the top of the
fire box nor allow the top of the stove to

Don't let your crate get clogged. Shake
often and keep free from cinders and

Don't let ashes remain in the ashpan.
They absorb the heat cool the oven and
check the draught.
n Don't let clinkers remain fastened to the
fire box. If the box is brick lined, drop an
oyster she'll in the fire occasionally, when
burning briskly, and the shell will clean off
the brick.
Don't rush" the range with the oven
draft open. You use too much fuel and
burn out the range too fast
Don't let the smoke draft stand open, ex-
eept when fresh coal is put on. Heat that
goes up the chimney Is so much good money

Don't burn wet garbage in the stove
Dry Il first. Otherwise steam is generated
and the moisture will injure the fire box.
Don't set leaky vessels spill cold water
on the range. The cold coming in con-
tact with the heated metal will crack It,
To get spots off when there has been a

them, putting on coal. Clean with paper

Asbestos and Its Uses.

From the Chicago Tribune.
The mineral unique is asbestos. Different
from every other material IN It's occurrence,
mining and preparation for the market, II
forms an entire study in itself.
1t was first mined about a hundred years
ago, chiefly as interesting to the geologist
and mineralogist, and Of little or no COM
mercial value. About 1868 It was first used
commercially in the manufacture of roofing
felt and cement. Early attempts to spin this
fiber were unsuccessful, but the difficulties
have now been overcome, so that single
asbestos thread weighing not more than
enc ounce per 100 yards, which has pretty
fair strength, may be made. In its spun
state 1t is used largely as yarn for packing
valves. etc, for which use 1t has many ad-
vantages.
Asbestos ropes for fire departments are
made entirely of asbestos, or asbestos with
q core of steel. With the steel wire core a
three-quarter inch rope carried nearly 1000
pouh6G Without the core the three-quarter
inch nope carries over 800 pounds, and suf-
fees for firemen's purposes.

The regular monthly meeting OF the Ma
tional Society of the Fine Arts was held
on Wednesday evening at the residence of
Mr.. and Mrs. Herbert Wadsforth. An IL
Illustrated lecture on American sculpture
given by Mr.. dorado Taft, was the special
feature. Mr.. Taft is himself sculptor of
distinction and a writer of considerable
reputation. He made a strong plea for the
work of the early sculptors, setting forth
the difficulties they had to combat and the
nobility of their purpose, and ia the work Of
some of the modern men he gave unstinted
praise. The American people, he said,
were often thought needless of the merits OF
native productions, but when such really
great works as St Gaudens Adams Me-
mortal and French's Death and the
Sculptor" were produced appreciation was
never wanting. He demonstrated both by
word and picture the wealth of Washing
ton in American sculptures. The desrablity
of a permanent art commission to pass upon
all federal art purchases was touched upon,
and the wish that the national government
would lend by the encouragement of COM
missions aid to her artists was frankly ex-
pressed. America has no longer the ex-
cuSe for disTegarding the fine arts that she
Is preoccuped by general housekeeping,
Mr.. Taft said. The outlook for the future,
the lecturer seemed to think, was bright,
the development in the past few years al
most phenomenal. The sculpture of the
nineteenth century in European countries
is he said, but q brief addendum, whereas
in America it is the entire volume. He
spoke convincingly, but not dogmatlcally,
and showed better by example than precept
how TO differentiate the good from the bad

held on March 10 at the home of Mr.. Will
