Good roads will lead to the general
improvement of the country side. The
farmer who drives to and from town
over a spacious, smooth well-cared for
road will unconsciously come to effect
corresponding improvements in the
management and operation of his farm.
The more pleasing and pleasant our
government can make farm life the
better it is for the government. Our
cities are over crowded with worthless
loafers that might be honorable and
respectable farmers. If we had rural
route it would make farm life more de-
sirable and attractive, and as we all
have to live off the farmers nothing
should be left undone that could be
done to make the farm inviting.

Ball Killed Rooster.

It has been said that John w. Coe
would never make good golf player
because he lacked precision and force,
but the carping critics, who would
topple him from the pedestal to which
he climbed through winning the tin
loving cup, have been forever silenced
by his work. While playing he put
one of Mrs. Williams prize-winning
Plymouth ROCK roosters out Of the
running by hitting it With a wellaimed
brassy shot somewhere between the
first tee and the left eye. Perhaps
that rooster saw the ball coming and
knew that to be struck by it meant
great glory, and then perhaps he saw
the major about to play and was hunt
ing cover. Anyhow the chicken is a
dead one and now Mr.. Coe is one
rooster up over his erstwhile oppo-
nent, Governor Chamberlain.-Meri-
den Journal.

a Cn,nese supersrIr,on.

In China telegraph wires are placed
underground instead of on poles. The
Chinese worship ancestors and regard
their last resting place as so sacred
that even a shadow must not be cast
upon their graves. In the more thick
ly populated parts of the empire these
graves are scattered everywhere, and
when the workmen of the first tele-
graph companies began operations the
natives in crowds followed them, and,
enraged at what they considered sacri-
lege, cut down the poles as fast as
they were put up.
Discovering the cause Of this fanati-
cal zeal, and finding the Chinese gov
eminent entirely powerless, or indis-
posed to interfere in matter touch
ing the religious susceptibilities of the
people, the telegraph companies solved
the difficulty by proceeding to bury the
wires with the venerated ancestors.

DEAD SON LOOKED IN.
Curious Happening During the South
African War. 2

Preaching in the Congregational
church, Seaford, England, Mr.. Comp
ton Rickett, M. P, the other Sunday
related the following coincidence,
which he vouched for as true.
A gentleman, whose son was at
tached to the British forces in South
Africa as doctor during the Boer
war, paid visit to two of his sisters.
They remarked that they were glad
his son had returned home. On the
father replying that his son was still
in South Africa, they exclaimed that
they had seen him looking through
the glass panel of the door of the cor
ridor about six p. M, just before the
fathers arrival.
The father returned to London, and
next morning made inquiries at the
war Office. He was told that informa-
ton had just been received that his
son had died the previous evening
from enteric fever, the time being six
p. M, English time.

Ballooning Affects the Eyes.

A Partisan eye scientist has been
making experiments to discover the
effects of ballooning at varying alti-
tudes upon the human visual system.
At an altitude of 5000 feet bottle
was flung overheard into lake be-
meath. The occupants of the car were
able to follow with ease the descent
of the bottle through the air, and also
able to watch the neck of the vessel
as it disappeared into the water. The
balloon then scared to greater height
and by examination the doctor ascer-
tanned that at this altitude there was
a considerable diminution of the pres
sure on the visual organs. The pupils
distended and the sensibility OF the
optic nerve was appreciably increased.

WOULD MAKE COSTLY MUTTON
Price Paid for Ram Was About $74
Pound.

Seventy-four dollars a pound is the
price just paid for a ram.
To the thrifty housewife who feels
that 20 cents pound is high enough
for the mutton she sets on her table,
the price will seem enormous, but to
the breeders who crowded about the
ram as he stood on the auction box
it seemed genuine bargain.
The little ram-he weighed exactly
100 pounds-was sold at auction in
London to wealthy breeder from
Buenos Ayres. He was the shearing
Riby, a Derby champion, and the
winner of the first prize at the royal
show at Derby. He had been bred
by Henry budding, of Riby Grove,
England, and was considered the
finest young ram ever sent to an auc-
ton sale.
Several older and larger sheep were
sold before this little fellow, many
bringing several hundred pounds ster-
ling. When the little champion was
carried by a strong man from his
pen to the box, nearly all the breeders
bid for him, the Buenos Ayres man
finally securing him for 91,522, or
just about $7,4O0.
The ram has been shipped to South
America, where several of his mates
have already been sent.

STREET CARS
UNHEALTHY

Whether 1t Is the close confinement
of the work, the constant motion oi
the car or the jerking of the stop and
start that is peculiarly effecting street
car men, has not been definitely
ascertained. The fact remains how
ever that nine-teenths of the street Cal
employees are troubled with stomach,
liver and bowel arrangements.
Samuel Booren, 1742 Munsey Ave.,
one of the oldest employees Of the D.
& L. Ry. Co., of Scranton, Pa, has
recently recovered from a severe at
tack of this kind and when asked
about it gave the following statement
for publication.
II have been doing street car work
on the D. & L. line for thirty-two
years and can say that for at least
sixteen years l have suffered from

While sinking well just outside
a town in Mexico, subterranean
stream of water was discovered at a
depth of 240 feet out of which were
taken hundreds of little fish about an
inch in length. AS no stream for
miles round disappears underground,
it is supposed that the fish are
spawned and live entirely beneath
