TAR FOR RoAp-MAx,Na.

Experiments conducted at Jackson.
Tennessee, by the Department of Agri-
culture, show that sthe use Of tar for
building and solidifying macadam
roads to give them greater perma-
nency than they possess under ordi-
nary conditions Of compression by pow
erful steam rollers yields gratifying
progress in road-making. Results OBJ
tanned in sections where tar coating
and binding has been employed to
harden the highway fully justify the
outlay, and indicate that, with i'm
proved machinery for applying the tar
even more satisfactory results may
reasonably be expected.
For some time good work has been
done along these lines in France anG
at number of places In the vicinity
of New York.
Drivers of vehicles have reported
that lessened vibration and noise is a.
once noticeable in passing from an Or
dinary road to tarred macadam road.
They say that the ordinary road pro-
duces constant succession of slight
jars upon the steeltired wheel, but that
this ceases the instant they drive upon
a road having tarred surface. Horse
men assert that surface SO treated
affords better footiog for their
horses

nervous, irritable mother. often on
the verge of Mysteries, is unfit to care
for children; it ruins q child's DISPOSE
tion and reacts upon herself. The
trouble between children and their
mothers too often is due to the fact
that the mother has some female weak
ness, and she is entirely unfit to bear
the strain upon her nerves that govern
ing children involves; it is impossible
for her to do anything calmly.
The ills of women act like a frebrand
upon the nerves, consequently nine
tenths of the nervous prostration, ner-
vous despondency, the blues" sleep
lessness, and nervous irritability of
women arise from some arrangement
of the female organism.
Do You experience fits of depression
with restlessncss, alternating with
extreme irritability? Are your spirits
easily affected, SO that one minute you
laugh, and the next minute you feel
like crying?
Do you feel something like a ball ris-
ing in your throat and threatening to
choke you; all the senses perverted,
morbid!y sensitive TO light and sound ]:
pain in the abdominal region, and
between the shoulders; bearing-down
pains; nervous dyspepsia and almost
continually cross and snappy?
If so, your nerves are in a shattered
condition, and you are threatened with
nervous prostration.

the world is better for nervous prostra-

when five miles from the town the
lioness was observed.
While the men stood at the edge OF
the thicket the brute pounced on Mr..
Goldfnch and threw him to the
ground. 1t bit him on the thigh be-
fore Mr. Lucas lodged bullet in its
neck.
Maddened by the wound. the ami

whose horse 1t felled and then pinned
the rider to the ground. inficting lac

right arm. He was saved by Mr..
Goldfnch, who. sitting up. rolled the
lioness over with a well-aimed shot.
