AN INTELLIGENT WITNESS.
A Farmer Who Knows the Advantage
of Good Roads.

- E1EheF W no haOWS tne Advantage
of Good Roads.
The following extract from a letter
from Clayton COnrow of CinnamnsOn,
n J., to State Highway Commissioner
Sargent Of Maine Is the intelligent ties
timOny of a farmer on the advantage
of good roads, and based upon facts
instead of theories, says Good Roads
Magazine. And while local conditions
vary, the principle invOlved-that is,
the economy of easy transportation-is
applicable everywhere:
Il live upon the line of an improved
road leading from Philadelphia to New
York. ten miles from the former place.
and before the road was improved
twenty-five baskets of prOmiscuouS
farm produce would make a big two
horse road After the road was i'm
proved the average load has not been
/ less than 100 baskets, some farmers
taking as many as $50 baskets to a
load, but this last number is exception
al; also before improvement it would
take team all day to make the round
trip of about twcnty-three miles to the
heart Of the city; since improvement
it requires an average of about seven
hours. Now. assuming that a team and
driver would he worth 81 per day. the
I regular price here. it would cost Is
cents per basket for farmer to land
his produce in the market in the first
case and but t cents per basket In
the latter. allowing the seven hours to
make Il day.
1T must be evident 10 every unprcj-
uliced observer that the farmers III
this section would have been out of
business had not the road been i'm
proved.
1t must b, evident also that the
farmer does not get all tie h6ncft for
the citizen consumer shares - part OF
it, for It of;"n happens during tho glut
OF the scissor That farm produce sells
for less than rs cents p2r blSliet. This
is n sufficient justification. ! think, for
@ei,inr tine cities to help pay for i'm
/ proving country roads. This is true
OF everything the resident Of the city
/ uses or CONSUMES. II can he delivered
to him much moro cheaply over good
road than Il had rold."

Il take this opportunity of express
ing upon behalf of the American people,
with all possible solemnity, our most
earnest hope that the people of Cuba
will realize the imperative need of
preserving justice and keeping order in
the island The United States wishes
nothing of Cuba except that it shall
prosper morally and materially, and
wishes nothing of the Cubans save that
they shall be able to preserve order
among themselves, and therefore to
preserve their independence "

The chance for the settlement of
disputes peacefully, by arbitration, now
depends mainly upon the possession
by the nations that mean to do right of
sufficient armed strength to make their
purpose effective. The United States
navy is the surest guarantor of peace
which this country possesses. l do not
ask that we continue to increase our
navy, l ask merely that it be maintain
ed at its present strength; and this can
be done only if we replace the obsolete
and outwom ships by new and good
ones, the equal Of any aaoat in any
navy

The triumph Of the mob is Just as
evil thing as the triumph Of the pluto
crazy, and to have escaped one danger
avails nothing whatever if we succumb
to the other"
Every lynching means:jus so much
moral deterioration in all the children
who have any knowledge Of it, and
therefore just so much additional trou-
bic for the next generation of Ameri-
cans.
Let justice be both sure and swift;
but let it be justice under the law, and
not the wild and crooked savagery of a
mob.
"Of course the best type of education
for the colored man, taken as a whole

public school branches"

Surely it should need no demonstra-
ton to show that willful sterility is,
from the standpoint of the'nation, from
standpoint of the human race, the one
sin for which the penalty is national
death, race death; a sin for which there
is no atonement; sin which is the more
dreadful exactly in proportion as the
men and women guilty thereof are in
other respects, in character, and bodily
and mental powers, those whom for the
sake of the state it would be well to see
the fathers and mothers of many
healthy children, well brought up in
homes made happy by their presence.

In some method, whether by ma

date, far more complete control than
at present over these great corpora

the disclosure by each big corporation

In addition to these there is every
reason why, when next our system of

Mexico has cactus which grows

thickly set with teeth-like spines,
which furnish the natives with combs;
there is another cactus, the long,
curved spines of which resemble fish
hooks; there is another which is an
almost perfect Imitation of the sea-
urchin; still another resembles a
porcupine; there is another covered
with long red hair which is nick
named the "red-headed cactus,

For a Muddy Complexion.

Drinking plenty of cold water night
and morning and during the day, and
exercising properly, will do this more
effectually than most panaceas, which
may cure one i'll, but leave another
more troublesome than the first. Let
nature do the work if possible, aided
by proper diet and care. Take the
deep breathing exercise night and
morning before an open window,
drinking two glasses of cold water
after exercising at night and before
the breathing in the morning. Avoid
tight clothing. Take an open air walk
every afternoon If possible. Battle
daily, using plenty of friction in the
water, and dry with a Turkish towel.

THE MILLINERY MODES.
Much Trimming Under the Brim at
the Back, Hair Arrangement,
the Favored Ribbons.

Simple and Effective.-Many of the
broad-brimmed Leghorns change their
appearance this year. A band and
bow of velvet ribbon will trim the
crown in the simplest manner, and
then beneath the narrowed and curv-
ing brim at the back will be punched
flowers and fruits, ribbon and tulle,
and perhaps a large plume, all so
cleverly blended that the effect pro.
duced is fascinating and smart.
Hats and the Hair.-Hats and hair.
dressings are undergoing revolution
airy changes. For instance, the hair
is now dressed lEmpire with rolls
and short curls, and the hats are
poised on such an edifice that it is
useless even to try on a smart hat
without proper hairdressing. The
Pompadour style in hats is fashion
able. The demi-mushroom shape in
black SPOTTED net, with a, wreath of
leafless roses and paradise plume,
is typical smart model. "a

which, in its turn, tones to the palest

TeIephonina Herring.

A Berlin paper tells Of a new device
that makes herring fishing easy. A
microphone, which magnifies sounds,
is plunged into the sea to ascertain If
fish are passing that way. A wire
connects the submerged microphone
with an ordinary receiver, with which
one listens to what is going on in the
depths of the sea. Excellent results
have been obtained in the North sea
by the invention for signaling the
passing of the herring shoals.

His Candidate.

District Attorney Jerome tells of a
certain citizen whom he encountered
on the last presidential election day.
Conversation was somewhat ham,
pered by the fact that the citizens
vocabulary was limited to about
eighty-five words. "Who." and what"
were evidently one to him as yet, but
he made himself clear on one point.
"How long have you been in this
country?" he was asked.
"Ah bane one month";" he answered.
care you going to vote?"
"Yah."
"Whom are you going to vote ,for?"
"Ah bane goin' vote for tan dollars"
was the self-satisfied response.

Office Boys pabble In Wall Street.

AS the pages in the senate some
times hold an extra session all by
themselves, so the Office boys in Wall
street conduct lively market at
times after the brokers have gone
home. They call up a number at ran
dom, 1t is answered by another Office,
and conversation something like
the following ensues:
Hello! This is Mr.. Jones of Biff,
Bang & Bung's. Kindly buy me a.
000,000,000 shares of Amalgamated
Copper Immediately"
Call right. This is Mr.. Smith of
Hop, Skip & Jump. But we will need
more margin for that. Kindly send us
a certified check for 81 ,O00, 900, 000."
A wordy argument ensues, and the
Office boys finally hang up their
phones and go home content with the
days transactions.
