Salt is the latest device for laying
dust on roads In the country. The au.
thor of the new departure is NJ. Trint-
zins, city surveyor of Rouen, who has
published it as the result Of a long
series of experiments. The list Of these,
while bringing out the weak side of
the new system, possesses considerable
interest as showing it to possess real
possibilities of utility. A long stretch of
road was first watered and then sprin-
kled with salt. The next day the sur
face of the road was covered with a
thin glazed crust. Rain removed this
in parts, but where the glaze remained
there was no dust for five days.

0BIatherslitev Good Word.

"Blatherskite" Is an Americanism, or
rather an old word which has survived
chiefly in American usage. The way II
came to be popular here is curious II
Is really the old Scottish ''bletherskate, .
from "blether," to talk nonsense (old
Morse "bladhr," nonsense) and skate,
term of opprobrium. In the song
maggie Lauder" written about 1850
occur the words "Jog en- your gait, ye
bletherskate," and this song was a very
popular one in the American camp dur
ing the War of Independence.

Take Me Home to Die.

Take Me Home to Die.
This land is very bright, mother,
The flowers are very fair,
There's magic in the orange groves,
And fragrance in the air;
But take me to my dear old home,
Where the brook goes babbling by,
Let us go back again, mother!
Oh ! take me home to die.
Let my fathers hand but rest, mother
In blessing on my head,
Let my brothers and my sisters dear,
But throng around my bed;
Oh! let me feel that loved ones near
Receive my parting breath,
When bid you all goodnight, mother,
And sleep the sleep of death.
These flowers their sweetest sweets affort
scent their fragrant breath,
But ere they bloom again, mother,
/ shall be cold in DEATH
Then take me to my early home,
No roses are SO dear,
AS those that bloom upon The bush,
To your old room SO near.
'Tis close beside the church, mother,
And when you kneel to pray,
I'll listen to your words, mother,
Though l am far away.
You must not weep for me, mother,
For | shall happy be,
And though l cannot stay with you
Yet you shall come to me.
There's dimness on my sight, mother,
cannot get my breath;
Is 1t your sobs hear, mother?
Oh tell me, is this death?
You'll tell my father how l yearned
Once more to see him near;
You'll kiss my brothers each for me,
They will forget, l fear.
You'll tell my sister-brothers dear
l have gone up on high
And If they are good children here,
They'll see me when they die,
feel I'm going now, mother,
One kiss ere life is riven,
Farewell, my own dear mother,
Until we meet in heaven.

The prudenfIaI's Latest Concession

Senator Dryden has celebrated his re-
sumption Of active business relations, after
some weeks Of illness, by the PRONUNCIATION
of resolutions passed by the Board of Direc-
tors Of The Prudential Insurance Company
granting concessions this year to policyhol-
ders OF far-reachiDg Importance and OF vast
interest to the insurance world. By an edict
which goes forth today every Industrial pol
icyholder in The Prudential who has
attained the age of IS years will be pre-
sented with free or paid-up policy for the
full amount OF the insurance. In other
words. no further payment Of premiums will
be required after the age limit Of rs years
has been reached, no matter how much lon
ger the insured may live.
These concessions, said Senator Dryden
in explanation today, "will relieve holders
Of great many thousands Of policies from
the payment OF any further premiums, cost
ing the Company over $3.50, GOO and con-
tinuance of this policy during the next ten
years, it is estimated, over three and one
quarter millions of dollars. They will, I
understand, affect proportionately more
policies than similar change in any other
Industrial insurance compsny. They are
entirely voluntary; they are not the result
OF any legislative action, present or prospec-
tive but entirely in line with the general
practice Of The Prudential to benefit the
policyholders in anything than can safely
be done beyond what the contract calls for.
The Company has already made voluntary
concessions in the form Of increased benefits,
cash and mortuary dividends, more liberal
paid-up policies, etc, of more than eight
millions Of dollars and their continuance
from year to year will necessarily involve
very large additions to this amount.
''There has been much new legislation
upon the subject Of life insurance and many
important measures have been passed, while
many others are still pending. While it IS
too early to forecast the future effect Of the
new laws, The Prudential may be relied
upon to meet the situation in spirit Of the
utmost fairness. Not only has the Company
always done what it was legally required to
do, but if has gone beyond the mere letter
Of the law and in the most liberal spirit has
extended to the policy holders the privileges
and advantages of one concession after
another. In other words, the Company has
always tried to do more than the law re-
quired and it may be relied upon to con-
tinue SO to do. In its final analysis statute
requirements at the best are declaration Of
broad and general principle Of admini-
stration, and In the execution Of details a
successful company must necessarily be
governed by higher law than statute-a
moral obligation which calls for the most
liberal Treatments Of She insured, compatible
with safety.
