turned out and the fish thus prepared for tail or fiat cans or for the one pound or half-pound size as may be required.
 From the novel cutting machines the portions of salmon are transferred direct to long tables before which are ranged the young women who pack the fish into cans, As many as two hundred to three hundreds girls are required for this portion of the work in an extensive cannery. After the feminine packers have snugly fitted the ruddy hued fish the cans are whirled through 8 blast of steam that dexterously removes all particles of fish or oil that may be clinging to the putside of the tin. Next the filled cans pass, one by one, through a topping machine z which puts the lids in olace at the rate of considerably more than one hundred minute, Supplementing this, soldering machine, fitted with gas jets that keep it in commission perpetually, firmly affixes the lid to the can, and finally a shower hath of cold water gives the solder a sat.
 This snds the actual work of canning and now the timed salmon which has been thoroughly cooked in the cans by a protraeted staySin d huge steam chest or cooker, goes to a finishing room, where nimbie fingered young women affix the brightly color ed labels. Then the cans are varnish ed and are taken in hand by the dip ping force which packs them into the wooden cases in which they go to the markets not only of America but of the entire world, for our Pacific Caast salmon packers sell great quantities of goods in Europe, Asia and South America.

practically all the water has been driven off, leaving a very uniform mixture. Ordinarily coal tar contains from 8 to 90 per cent. of water. This is not uniform product, and is somewhat dangerous to heat it over open fires, as the water causes the ma- terial to foam and very often boil over and as It Is extremely inaammable, The danger of fire Is very great. Tar via is never used under portions of roadbeds and is in no way a pavement.
 This particular piece of road, known as the Loudon Road No. p was se- lected by the State Engineer, as it was through thickly populated vil- lage and the dust was very annoying.
 This material forms a kind of tai concrete. SD that the rain, the wind and the tear of the tires does not loosen the binding material. It pene- trates from one-half to one and one- half inches below the surface. The action of the treated surface is very slightly like rubber, which allows of a very small motion of the individual particles without tearing them loose from the binding material. and it also has considerable deadenlng effect upon the noise of vehicle wheels. Under or dinary conditions, where the traffic is not excessive, an application will last about two years, but under severe usage it should be applied mare often.
 After several applications have been made the road surface becomes much better and approximately only one half the material is necessary for the second and third applications. When first applied the high spots in the road do ont absorb as much as the hollows, as the material quickly drains off. These hollows are then filled with screenings, which are more firmly united. the result being that the orig
 inal high spots are the first to be worn off, and by the time the second aD- nllcation is made are found to be the low spots which now receive their due share of the material: so it can be seen by successive applications the road surface will eventually become very uniform and we'll impregnated, and each application will last consid-
 
 erably longer than the previous one.
 Another advantage which this pro cess possesses Is the fact that the wa ter does not penetrate the road, and therefore, frost is prevented from ! cracking the surface, which Is one of the prime factors in preparing the way for further destruction, A road treat ed in this way is practically dustless and there is nothing which can stick to the feet and be tracked into houses l as is often the case with oiled roads. The cost of applying this material varies betoween four and six cents square yard, according to the nature of the road. Varying with the conditions more CT less of the tarvia Is absorbed and when the road is uneven much larger proportion of screenings is nee- essary. The second and third appli- cations are less expensive owing to the reduced amount of material re- quired, and after three appplications treatment every three years, 1t is claimed will keep ordinary roads In excellent condition.-Albany Journal.

THE PLANTATION SCHOOLS.

Here's an Editorial That May Start
 a Controversy.
 It will perhaps astonish great many complacent and unsuspecting persons in this part of the country to hear it said that very considerable number, if not a majority, of the old time great Southern slave holders were heartily opposed to the institu- tion." Such is the truth, nevertheless, as every one familiar with the inner history of that section knows full we'll When we enter the domain of im- perishable fact we shake from our heels the dust of controversy. But a still more novel and distributing truth is that long before the civil war cer- tain Louisiana landowners of the magnificent, patriarchal type con ceiyed a plan for educating" their slaves. so wise, so enlightened, and as it proved so substantially benef- cent, that modern paternalism could advantage hark back to it at least in some particular respects.
 To put it briefly, we may say that long before Uncle Toms Cabin" saw the light and while as yet the great slave holding magnates of the south regarded slavery as an establishment beyond the reach of social agitation or political vicissitude, wise and kindly members of the ruling class had conceived and set In operation a system whereby slavery could be rob- bed of all it's most repulsive aspects and transformed into an agency of exaltation. They we're not doctrinaries these well meaning men, but they loved their slaves and they felt fl their duty. as it already was their earnest wish, to lift them out of the mire of degradation and subjection, if such a thing were possible Thus il came about that schools were estab- lished on hundreds of plantations; nothing like our modern schools, of course, but just plain, simple agencies of experiment and observation. The | idea was to disclose the special girt proclivity or talent of the individual not to set up a Proerustes bed in the way of a snug curriculum. The Idea was to encourage and disclose any special talent and proclivity in the individual. The young were subjected to a benevolent and enlightened in quisition. There was no cut and dried formula of appraisement. The porr artisan was not drilled to death 1T botany or ethics; the appointed cooper mason or blacksmith was not required to qualify as pianist or a mathe. matieian.

ROOF WARDS A FEATURE.
They will be Opened on Top of tn
 Presbyterian Hospital.

They will be Opened on Top of the
 Presbyterian Hospital
 Roof wards" which represent the latest advance which medical science has made in the treatment of pneumo- mia and typhoid fever, are shortly to be opened in the top of the main building of the Presbyterian Hospital. The structures, railings and various appliances are the gift of patron of the institution, who made the donation simply as "A Friend"
 It is expected that they will be part ly used at least for the benefit of pa tients by the middle of next month. Two other hospitals, whose superinten- dents have inspected the new roof wards of the Presbyteran, are making arrangements to install a similar equipment.
 So successful was the treatment of pneumonia and kindred diseases on the roof of the institution last winter, un- der the direction of Dr. William P. Northrop, that 1t was decided to make it a feature of the hospital. Of the cases that were treated there only one death occurred, and that was due to double pneumonia, complicated with several other maladies.
 In the middle of the roof of the hos pital are two structures of corrugated iron, braced by steel beams, built on the principle of horse shields. The air has free circulation beneath the roof, which is continued out in front, with an awning frame covered with wire netting. On this, when the days are sunny, is stretched heavy canvas.
 The entire roof is inclosed by a close ly woven fence, which rises to height of ten feet.
 On the tiling Is covering of grooved flooring, which gives asurface not un- like that of the promenade deck of an ocean liner. The boards are covered with canvas, protected from the weather by several coats of paint, which makes them springy to the tread.
 Many of the patients are to be brought up from the hospital wards in their beds, which are placed on the roof. Rolling chairs and steamer chairs are also provided.
 The roof Is divided into two areas, one ward for women and children and the other for men. It is thought that fifty patients in all can be treated. Delirius patients do especially well un- der such treatment and the fresh air has soothing effect Children after a day on the roof sink into deep sleep.
 The institution is at Madison avenue and Seyentieth street, and from its top may be enjoyed breezes which sweep over the treetops of Central Park.
 This open7air sanitarium will cost about fifteen thousand dollars. AL though the trustees decline at the pres ent time to make any announcement concerning the donor, 1t is generally understood that 1t was given by Mrs, w. K. Vanderbilt, Sr,-New York Her aid.

From ChiCken-Pox
 to Cholera
Cure.AlIs No Longer Tolerated

Tn early days every barber shop was an operating room and the town physi- elan resorted to bleeding as the sure cure for all ailments from chicken-pox to cholera. As a result, many, in- eluding our first President, died pre- matureiy
 The present low rate of mortality is due in large measure to the ad- vances made in medical science and the knowledge of the specific treat- ment needed for each disease known.
 There is no disease more common among American and English people than dyspepsia. So prevalent has it become that thousands suffer with it half unconsciously, consider the symp- toms as natural to their physical con- stitution and resign themselves to liy- ing on in that condition.
 There is a remedy for dyspepsia, and only one, recommended and endorsed generally by physicians: Stuarts Dys- pepsia Tablets have stood the test of years of use by millions of sufferers, have been subjected to governmental analyses in Europe and America and alone have been found to contain the elements which Nature has put into the stomach for digestion-pepsin, di- astase and other ferments.
 stuart,s Dyspepsia Tablets relieve the stomach and bowels in a perfectly natural way by helping them do their work. If the stomach is weak in gas- tric juice, Stuart's Tablets make up the deficiency. If the muscles are tn- active, Stuart's Tablets invigorate them. Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets di- gest every form of food entering the stomach, one grain of the active prin- ciple of these Tablets beng capable of digesting 5000 grains of meat, eggs and other foods. They are not cathar- tic pills;-their action is simply that of a digestive.
 Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets cure nothing but dyspepsia, waterbrash, sour stomach and kindred ailments re- sulting from the imperfect digestion of food, but these diseases they posi- lively cure.
 We will gladly send you trial package to prove the truth of our claims stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets can be gotten of all druggists at 50 cents. F. A. Stuart Co.,, 69 Stuart Bldg, Mar shaE. Mich.

their absorption of energy from the heated surfaces.
 Perhaps the greater good to be de- rivedfrom a study of this effect is a practical method of Altering air from dust, based on this principle. It is only necessary to have two eoncentric tubes. the inner one conveying steam and the outer one kept cold, Any dust air passing between the hot and the cold tubes would deposit it's dust on the inner surface of the cold tube, and in this way, according to Professor Barrett, much finer dust and germs can be deposited than can be stopped by Altering through any screens yet devised

TAR ON NEW YORK HIGHWAY

TAR ON NEW YORK HIGHWAY.
 In order to prevent the dust from gathering on the various macadam roads State Engineer Van Alstvne has experimenting with mixture of tar, has proved very successful. The experiment has been made on the Londonville Road from the school house to the Memands Road, Auto mobilists and residents along the road are enthusiastic over the result.
 In the past different materials nther than water have been sprinkled on the road surface, such as oils and DetrJ- leum or water containing soluble salts, but none of these methods has been successful The oil dust which arose proved very irritating to the eyes and nose. As the oil settled in the de- precision of the road and made these more impervious to water, nuddles re- mainea at these places for some time after rains, with the result that these soft spots were cut into by the wheels and the depressions seon became holes.
 Many experiments have been made on materials of suppressing dust on unpaved roads, but the most satisfac- tory results have been obtained by the use of tar. which. when melted and sprinkled upon the road surface and properly worked in with brushes, will enetrate to a considerable depth. In this country very few experiments of this kind have been made. How ever, the experiments made on the Loudonville Road with tar have given excellent results, The material is call ed tarvia for road surfacing

 A detailed record of the fruits of this system would astound the phil anthropists of the present generation. It is fact, notwithstanding, that the slave holders of the last century did more to uplift and help the negro than all the doctranaires and societies and governments of our day are doing or are likely to do; and that, consid- ering the results in view, is very inadequate and pallid statement of the case.-New York Sun.

New City Administration

board of aldermen that has
served with him expired and the
new city officers filed their bond;
and were sworn in. AS Mayor

spective glance over the years

we find a struggling town of
possibly 1,600 people with none
of the modern conveniences,
growing into a little city of more
than double the population of
ten years ago, and owning it's
own public utilities, electric light
plant, and water works and fur
nishing these conveniences to it's
inhabitants at rates far below
the average municipality. While
Mr.. Anderson has at all times
tempered justice with mercy he
has paid into the treasury each
year fines sufficient to pay the
salaries of all the city officers,

salaries go, costing the tax-pay-
ers nothing. In the work in be-
half of the city. Mr.. Anderson,
ofcourse does not deserve, and
does not claim any more than
his share of the credit for the
progress made, 1t was his good
fortune to have a board of alder
men who were progressive, yet
conservative at ali times, and
each member is entitled to full
credit for his share of praise.
