Sergeant John NJ Hayde. who was
transferred yesterday from the Hud-
son avenue police station on the north

the Hegewisch station, by which name
the sixteenth precinct station was
known previous to it's removal on Au-
gust rs, of last year to it's present To-

house, where there is a nice level
stretch of Pennsylvania railroad track
leading to Hegewisch after a thirty
five minutes walk
Arriving at Hegewisch, the sergeant
asked citizen where the station was
and was informed that it was four miles
away. In disgust the official sought a
restaurant and had just sat down to
a nice order of ham and eggs when
somebody informed him that the next
train left for the station in four min
utes. Hastily abandoning all thoughts
of dinner, Sergeant Hayde made a rush
for the train, and in due time landed
two blocks from his destination He
arrived at the station about 3 D. m.
a sorer but a wiser man.
Sergeant Hayde is willing to ac-
knowledge that Chicago is a great city.
much greater than he imagined after
eighteen years on the police force.

number of important matters are
expected to come UP before the board
of trustees this afternoon for action
in one way or another. First will come
the matter OF the Improvement of
Broadway south of the Wabash. The
entire board has been inspecting pave
ments in different places. Trustees
Sears and Knots and Engineer Melton
having been at South Bend and Trus-
tee Caldwell at Terre Haute. The gen
eral opinion seems to be that brick
laid on a sand foundation will be used,
it being the concensus Of opinion that
this is the most satisfactory, every
thing considered. The franchise for
which the steel corporations sub
salaries asking will come up for
some kind of action, although it will
probably not be in the nature of an
adoption. The board is inclined to go
slowly in the matter. All of the fran
chises asked for thus far are said to
be decidedly narrow, being so much so
that several attorneys declare they
would not be held good in court on
account of their exclusiveness.

WHISTLER AS A TEACHER.
A Genius Who Showed Difacuity In
Impartfng His Knowledge.

A Genius Who Showed Difficulty In
Impartfng His Knowledge.
Whistler was certainly a genius, but
he showed some difficulty in 'imparting
his knowledge. His criticisms were Of
ten foggy and uncertain, and he hard
ly ever found words In which to ex-
press himself. 1t was almost an i'm
possibility to develop without becom-
ing a slave and copying him in every
way. with a majority Of the students
this was q dangerous method. IL one
came with a spark of originality II was
extinguished Immediately by the DOM
mating personality Of the master. He
could see art only from his own stand
point. and he insisted on all Of us using
the same palette and the same brushes
as himself and on our seeing all OBJ
jects with his eyes. The result to an
ordinary outsider was ridlculously mo-
notonous.
I well remember a Frenchman who
wanted to join the class coming to
view some Of the studies and then re-
marking, with an amused smile, "Vous
avez beaucoup des petus Wheestlairs"
This was perfectly true Of the major
ity, but there were a few matured men
who hardly carried out Whistlers
formulas as regards the palette and
method but who, owing to their more
Independent attitude, profited much by
the criticisms.-Century.

Good Road Notes

Jefferson county. Tenn. has awarded
the contract for building forty miles OF
macadam road for 100000.
The $35,OO0,000 increase In farm
values shown In Massachusetts, IN the
last ten years is attributed to her sys-
tenn of good roads.
1t is announced that the Great North
ern railroad Is considering the question
Of sending out good roads train over
Its lines and constructing object lesson
roads under the auspices Of the office
of public roads, United States depart
ment Of agriculture.
The work of highway Improvement
In Indiana moves steadily forward,
though it attracts less general atten-
ton perhaps than the road building in
states where the question Is new and
proyokes more discussion. Each year
since 1900 Indiana has added about
1000 miles TO her system OF gravel
roads and now has total mileage OF
16 900 miles. The cost of maintenance
has increased from sG94000 in 1902 to
Sg2S,000 in 1895.

ANCIENT EMeALMINo.
Not Only People but Animals Wcs'
Mummified In Egypt.

Not Only People but Animals Wcse
Mummifed In Egypt.
Myrrh, which was fabulously sup
posed to be the tears Of Myrrha, who
was turned into shrub, was plant
of handsome appearance, with spread
ing, fernlike foliage and large umbels
Of white flowers. It was found princi-
pally in Arabia and Abyssinia. In
early times the perfume distilled from
It was greatly in requisition for en-
balming.
Herodotus gives a detailed account
of the ancient mode Of embalminG
which is perhaps more instructive than
pleasing. After the body had under
gone much preparation, which, to spare
your feelings, will not be described. Il
was filed with powdered myrrh, cassia
and other perfumes. 1t was then steep
ed in natron, strong solution Of soda,
for seventy days. After this It was
wrapped In bands of fine perfumed
linen, smeared with aromatic gums.
Not only people were thus embalnn-
ed, but the crocodiles Of Lake Moeris,
which, after their mummifcation, were
decorated with ornaments and jewels
and laid In one Of the subterranean
passages of the great labyrinth with
much pomp and display. The sacred
cat, ichneumon and other cherished an
finals devoutly worshiped by the Egyp-
tians were embalmed with scrurulous
and fanatical care. On days special to
the memory of the dead the mummies
were newly sprinkled with perfume,
incense was offered before them and
their heads anolnted with fresh oil-in
the same spirit as we lay new blooms
upon the graves of our dead.

Each farmer needs head gate to
control the flow from the main or
branch canal into his private ditch.
This head gate should meet the re-
ouirements of both the canal compaiy
and the farmer. The interests of the
company demand that it shall be water

NIT the necessary flow and so made
that It cannot be raised above given

that he can, when he chooses, close IL

is placed at the edge Of the canal,
and either a wooden box or pipe con-
