RECORD TRAFFIC
Railways Appear to riave Sui
fered Nothing by the 2-Cent
Passenger Fare Laws.
BIG INCREASE IN TRAVEL
All Trains Are Crowded, and Travel is
1O0 Per Cent Greater on Ger
tain Limited Trains.

With the Illinois 2-cent fare law
nearly two months old, many who have
studied conditions before and since the
law went into effect are Analysing the
results OF the law Jon the receipts of
the railways. While it is quite impos-
sible to secure accurate figures on the
railways receipts, the statement Of
train men. and ticket agents generally,
is that the law has worked no hard
ship on the railway companies. 1t is
certain that passenger traffic through.
out the central west has been greater
train is crowded. and not first class
train passes through Rock Island but
carries a big load of passengers.
On Single Train.
\ conductor ON one of the Rock Is
lands fast trains through this city was
speaking of the traffic on his train q
few days ago, and declared that the
business of his train alone had been
increased almost 100 per cent this
year over last season. lie said that II
was certain that the 2-cent fare law
had not sadddled anything onto the
company as far as that train was con
comed
And this is true of other trains, too
Whether traffic would have been sc
great with the fare at cents a mile
or not is uncertain. and whether tbs
business will fall off as soon as thl
novelty Of riding for = cents wears of
remains to be seen, but it appears now
that the new law has worked no wrong
to the railways. and has been of ma
terial benefit to the general public.

Which Study of Best Writers

One of the most interesting al
dresses given at the annual county

this week was that today by DR.. C.
A. McMurray Oh The Value of Liter
AZURE to Teachers" The attendance
was unusually large this afternoon, AMI
DR.. McMurrays lecture was received
with much enthusiasm. Dr. McMulrav
in opening, said that the study 0r
literature by the teachers themselves
enlarges their worlds by every day
contact with the great writers. suca
as Scott, Emerson, Dickens and
Homer. He maintains that literature
is revelation of the social life and
usaSes of human character in man
forms and conditions, ana makes the
teacher better understand human ma
ture as described by the best novel
lists and poets. II gives the teacher
versatility i'll Judging human nature.
and tact in managing children. Many
teachers are narrow ana one sided an |
are unable to get along with many
children because they do not under
stand them
writer's Are Models.
DIR. McMurray holds that the great
writer's are the best models for The
teacher, for such men as Hawthorne,
Kingsley, Scott and Macaulay are
great story tellers, and know how II
present an interesting line of thought
in an entertaining and instructive way.
Thus they are models for the teacher
in his methods of teaching.
SHOULD Love Stories.
"A teacher who does not love fairy
tales is not fit for a teacher of tho
primary departments" said DR.. Nc
Murray. He maintained that a teacher
to be successful must understand an l
be in sympathy with the children ana
the class of literature which the chill
dren love. The teacher understands
children better if he understands the
literature the children love.
DIR. McMurray describes literature
as the expression of ideaiism, and eX-
plains that it contains the moral ideas
of modern life. He cited Whittier :
Snow Bound as an illustration of this.

of the commercial meat:
when the meat is cooled, rub each
piece with salt and allow it to drain
overnight. Then pack it in a barrel
with the hams and shoulders in the
bottom, using the strips Of bacon to
fill in between or to put on the top.
Weigh out for each 100 pounds OF
meat 10 pounds of salt, 2 pounds OF
brown sugar, and ounces of saltpetre.
Dissolve all in four gallons Of water,
and cover the meat with the brine.
For summer use it will be safest to
boil the brine before using. In that
case it should be thoroughly cooled
before it is used. For winter curing
it is not necessary to boil the brine.
Bacon strips should remain in this
brine four to six weeks; hams, six to
eight weeks. This is standard recipe
and has given the best Of satisfaction.
Hams and bacon cured in the spring
will keep right through the summer
after they stre smoked. The meat will
be sweet and palatable, if it is pro-
perly smoked and the flavor will be

DIVIDING PERENNIALS.

Herbaceous perennials, which have
grown for many years undisturbed,
can best be dug up, divided and re-
planted during early fall, provided
they have already flowered. While
early spring is also an excellent time
to perform this work, the plants will
not flower as profusely the first sea-
son as those planted in autumn. Fall
set plants become established before
freezing weather, and II given mulch
during the winter they start into
rapid growth early in the following
spring, Towering a week or SO later
than the old-established clumps.
Carefully dig up the plants to be re-
planted, and with sharp knife or
spade divide then into as many parts
as there are crowns or shoots, leaving
each with a portion of root. The
new beds into which the plants are TO
be set should be in readiness for their
reception before the clumps are divld-
ed, SO that the plants will not be ex-
posed to the sun or wind to dry out
,.
same location for years without being
disturbed, and to have them healthy
a well-prepared, fertile soil should
be provided. Nearly all the species
and varieties of herbaceous perennials
can be most advantageously planted
now, and SO those desiring to embel-
lish the home grounds with these
plants should purchase and plant them
at an early date.
The numerous sorts, differing great
ly in size, habit of growth and color
of flowers, makes it possible for one,
by a judicious selection, to have a
continuous display of flowers from
early spring to, late fall. HerhHceous
perennials are rapidly taking tho place
Of bedding plants because of their
cheapness, perpetuity and effective
display for minimum amount Of at
tention.-Indianapo News.

near Galien, have 200 acres devoted
to mint raising.
With most growers the harvest
comes in September, but, having as.
certained that with falling mercury
the mint principle starts for the roots
of the plant, Miss Clark harvests her
mint in time to catch all the menthol
there is in the plant, selecting the
hottest spell of weather she can pick
out. The result is that she produces
a higher grade of crop and more OF
it to the acre than her neighbors.
Miss Clark has herself cut and rak-
ed twenty acres Of hay, MIXED ten
COWS night and morning. besides
looking after her porkers, chickens
and horses. She lives with her wild
owed mother, there being no men

HONEYSUCKLE FOR GARDEN
HEDGES.

To shut out animal marauders,
weeds, and ugly views, and at the same
time to secure a pretty boundary for
the garden is not easily accomplished
by any kind of an artificial fence.
Here is where the common honey
suckle helps us out This creeper, Loni-
cera grata, is familiar plant from
New Jersey southwark. 1t Is hardy,
a rapid grower, with an unusually
graceful habit Of growth, green the
year around, with pretty flowers al
most throughout the season, and a
delightful odor which penetrates the
atmosphere for considerable dis
tance. It is perfectly capable of TAX
ing care of itself and will even stran-
gle out poison ivy and other unWel-
come climbers which may attempt to
get into the hedge. A strong wire
fence is quite sufficient for support. All
that is necessary is to dig up the
roots and plant them along the fence.
This may be done at any time OF the
year and the honeysuckle is not far to
seek 1t grows to the top Of the fence
and then hangs down gracefully on
either side, making a close, smooth
wall of green from the top to the
ground. Inside of the mass the slen-
der twigs become SO tangled that dogs
and other animals can not get through.
Such a hedge has no tendency to be-
come too wide at the top like privet,
and is more graceful and less formal
than privet or box.

MAING A DEWPOND

There is still in England at least
one wandering gang Of men who will
construct for the modern farmer a
pond which in any situation in
sufficiently dry soil will always con-
tain water-more in the heat Of sum-
ner than during winter rains.
According to an account given by
A. J. and G. Hubbard and published
by Longmans, this water is not de-
rived from springs or rainfall, and
is speedily lost if even the smallest
rivulet is allowed to flow into the
pond.
The gang Of dewpond makers COM
mences operations by following out
the earth for a space far in excess
of the apparent requirements Of the
proposed pond. They then thickly
cover the whole of the hollow with
a coating of dry straw. The straw in
its turn is covered by layer Of well
chosen, finely puddled clay and the
upper surface of the clay is then
closely strewn with stones.
Care has to be taken that the mar
gin of the straw is effectively protect
ed by clay. The pond will gradually
become filled with water the more
rapidly the larger it is. even though
no rain may fall If such a structure
is situated on the summit of down,
during the warmth of summer day
the earth will have stored a consid-
cradle amount of heat, while the pond,
protected from this heat by the non
conductivity of the straw, is at the
same time chilled by the process OF
evaporation from the puddled clay.
The consequence is that during the
night the moisture of the comparative
ly warm air is condensed on the sur
face of the cold clay. AS the conden-
sation during the night is in excess Of
the evaporation during the day
the pond becomes, night night
by night, gradually filled. Theo-
retically, we may observe that
during the day, the air being
comparatively charged with moisture,
evaporation is necessarily less than
the precipitation during the night.
In practice it is found that the pond
will constantly yield a supply Of the
purest water.
The dewpond will cease to attract
the dew if the layer Of straw should
get wet, as it then becomes OF the
same temperature as the surrounding
earth, and ceases to act as a non
conductor of heat. This practically al
ways occurs if a spring is allowed
to flow into the pond or if the layer
of clay technically called the crust)
is pierced.
