Some Suggestions.

In a general discussion OF methods
employed in road improvement, Vice
President Dickson called attention to
a device of his own invention, which
was received with great interest by
the body. A wooden model of the
invention was submitted and thor
Oughly explained by Mr.. Dickson.
He suggested that cement blocks,
of named size. be manufactured,
with a fiange to keep the wheel in
the rut. These cement blocks, if
well seasoned, would, he thought, be
the solution of problem which would
tax many brain TO solve. He esti
mated the cost of such an improve
ment TO be aboua $4,000 per mile.
which would be a comparatively low
cost. Mr. Knowles Of Pensacola
showed much interest in the work
as explained, while Mr.. Edwards of
Marion, also piled the vice president
with many questions regarding the
innovation in road building. Mr..
Dickson said that his county had
given him authority to make an ex-
pertinent. II is possible that his idea
will be received with favor by ali
who make study OF the same.

ROYAL WOMEN.


American women have a way of
thinking of h women of royal fami-
Hes In very much the same
in which children do OF fairies. The
impression seems to be that royalty
and beauty go han in hand. yet one
is often shocked at the extreme plain
ncss of some of the female members
of royal families. Fine clothes, of
course. help out a great deal. but it
is ut the same time noticeable that
only a very few of them understand
the art of dressing wei Again. Amer
leans have q "a o. thinking tina
these women have nCGISlg to do in
their royal lives but. enjoy them
selves and display their fine jewelry.
This is very wrong for many of tho
royal women have more interests and
occupations than a less exalted per-
son would dream of. How often one
hears of "A queen who goes into the
Kitchen to prepare Il special dish? And
the queen a teaches her little
daughters the art of housekeeping,
even to the making of butter? How
many American mothers are as
thorough as this in the education of
their daughters? The number, IL they
could be counted, would, sad to say
be comparatively small.
Many of the royal women crave the
scorns. and they frequently make pref
ty clothes for the charity bazars, go
among the sick and lowly to minister
to their van and are genuine women
I'm everything. One young queen de-
clares that she has never outgrown
her childish fancy for doll dressing
and therefore dresses the dolls Of her
children. So. beneath the glitter and
fash of diamonds, and the swish,
swish of silken robes of state the heart
of the royal wonan is humble and in
clines toward domestic life, though
compelled to live in accordance with
customs that regulate their entire
