The enthusiasm which the skaters

shows no abatement as the beach sea-

being built at the various seaside re-
sorts are aiding to keep alive interest
in skating and the weekly crowds at

Treating Wrong Disease.

Many times women call on their family
physicians, suffering, as they imagine,
one from dyspepsia, another from heart
disease, another from liver or kidney
disease, another from nervous exhaustion
or prostration, another with pain here and
there, and in this way they all present
alike to themselves and their easy-goinQ
and indifferent, or over-busy doctor, sep
arate and distinct diseases, for which he,
assuming them TO be such, prescribes his
pills and potions. In reality, they are all
only symptoms caused by some uterine
disease. The physician. ignorant of the
cause of suffering. encourages this prac-
tice until large bills are made. The suf-
fering patient gets no better, but probably
worse, by reason of the delay, wrong
treatment and consequent complications.
A proper medicine like DIR. Pierce's Fa-
vorite Prescription, directed to the cause
would have entirely removed the disease,
thereby dispelling all these distressing
symptoms, and instituting comfort in
stead of prolonged misery. 1t has been
well said, that "a disease known is half
cured
Or. Pierce's Favorite Prescription is a
scientific medicine. carefully devised by
an experienced and skillful physician,
and adapted to woman's delicate system.
1t is made of native medicinal roots and

is the greatest earthly boon. being I'M

arrested, makes the dust nuisance
acute.
1T has settled down to a positive
conviction in France that hot tar ap-
plications are valuable in proportion
to the excellence of the surfaces upon
which they are laid. When well done
the tarring gives the effect of an as
phalt pavement, and the foothold on a
macadamized surface is of course
much better than on asphalt. In my
previous report mention was made oil
city boulevard in Marseilles first
macadamized and then tarred
THE tar is by no means smeared
over the surface like a coat of paint.
The work was done in the midst OF
the dry season, after the road had
been carefully swept, and the hot
liquid was worked with stiff brushes
into the road joints, penetrating to a
considerable depth. The traffic over
this boulevard is intense, and con
sists largely of automobiles moving at
their highest speed.
After two years wear no more
dust is observable than would be the
case with an ordinary asphalt pave
ment receiving the traffic of innumer
able unpaved streets. The surface is
intact and the sides, where washing
generally occurs, look as fresh and
clean after rain as an asphalt pave
| ment."

MAKING GOOD ROADS.

COnsul-general Robert P. Skinner Of
Marseilles, described methods of build
ing roads in France. which has
brought the consul-general many in
quiries, in response to which he has
prepared the following:
I'm my previous report upon good
roads published in daily consular re-
ports, dated Oct. 5, 1904, to which my
correspondents refer, and concerning
which further information is desired,
endeavored to make it clear that
when the tarring of French roads was
undertaken it was with the expecta-
ton of preserving the surfaces, and
only incidentally ''for the laying OF
dust" 1t seems to me distinctly un-
fortunate that in the United States SO
much stress is laid on the dust prob
lem and so little on primary construc-
ton and preservation of roads, al
though it is obvious that well-built
and carefully preserved road is neces-
saTily dustless. The makeshift where
by the common American dirt road is
occasionally dosed with tar and
greases of various kinds, on the as
sumption that the French method is
being followed, merely defers the
proper rebuilding of our highway sys-
tenn.
1T must be remembered that
France is already endowed with good
roads, and that whereas in the United
States the automobile has come as an
instrument to awaken interest in the
subject Of highway building, it is re-
garded by the French road engineer
as a destructive agent of roads al
ready good. Moving with great veloc-
ity and with closely adhering and
sometimes metal-shod tires, the auto
mobile scrapes the fine hard surfaces
like file, surfaces which would re-
sist years of ordinary wagon traffic.
To combat these destructive infiu-
ences many Of the French engineers
employ the taring process. which aids
powerfully to prevent the disintegra-
ton caused by trfic, and which, unless

Chaffeurs of Lonq AGO.

There We're chauffeurs long before
automobiles. History tells us that
about the year 1895 men strangely ac.
coutered, their faces covered with SCOT
and their eyes carefully disguised. en-
tered by nights farms and lonely habi-
tations and committed all sorts of dep.
relations. They garroted their vic
tins, dragged them before great fire,
where they burned the scles of their
feet and demanded information as to
the whereabouts of their money and
jewels. Hence they were called
"chauffeurs, a name which frightened
so much our good grandrnothers.-

ALL ITALY SMOKY.
And Visitors Glad to Get Far Away
From Vesuvius.

TioIU NCSbNtuS.
In Italy one cannot observe the aw-
full spectacle of fiery Vesuvius any
better than can we 5000 miles away
At least so says George Raymer in a
private letter. THE whole of Italy,
he writes, ''has been so enveloped in
the smoke of Vesuvius that no good
mountain views are to be had You
said you thought it would be worth
a trip over here to see Vesuvius when
in a rage. 1t would not, for you can
not see it any better than if you were
in Madison. We saw it for three or
four days before it became so furious
that it could not be seen at all and
We were glad to get farther away.
The dust must have been awful near
it, and even in Rome, 140 miles away,
the smoke made it necessary to keep
all lights going. Florence is beauti-
full city and we are all delighted with
it, but it is not as enjoyable as it
would be with less rain, less cold and
less smoke. We have been here
.(Florence) since April IS and | think
1t has rained every day with perhaps
one or two exceptions. 1t rained with
out stop all day yesterday and is
raining now MAY u. We have had
a fire in our room about all the time
and it is now too cold to be without
fire."

Pretty, heartless old-time girl.

Self-reliant old-time girl.
