Various Ways of Telling the Story of
an Accident.
THE PLAIN STYT r

Various Ways of Telling the Story of
an Accident.
THE PLAIN STYLE.
A lady slipped on some orange
peel in School street yesterday and
broke her Len.
TIE 9--',s-C..~o STYLE.
It was job for surgeon.
Orange peel did it.
There was a slide, a scream and
dull thud.
The atmosphere was full Of lin
gerie, frou frou, hairpins and brio
a-brac.
It was laughable.
But only to few.
A dozen men rushed CALAMITY to
the rescue.
1t was a woman who had fallen.
Horror! A neither limb broken.
She was in agony.
And all because of somebody's
carelcssness.
Saul has slain his thousands.
Orange peel has slain its ten
thousands.
THE FLORID STYLE.
Tripping lightly down School
street yesterday afternoon, her face
all aglow with health and every
muscle, nerve, vein and artery in
harmony with the invigorating at
mosphere, a representative of the
softer sex was seen suddenly to de-
fleet from the perpendicular, and in
another instant this one of heavens
last and best gifts to man came
with crushing force to the hard, un
yielding pavement. The immedi-
ate cause of the unfortunate lady's
downfall was the greasy envelope of
that tropical fruit, the orange,
which some thoughtless, if not mali
cious, individual had cast upon the
public pavement. The victim of
this carelessness or worse had sus-
tanned fracture of limb, and it
will be many weary weeks ere she
will again be able to walk erect and
stately as heretofore.
THE FACETIOUS STYLE.
She will be careful how she treads
on orange peel hereafter. She
didn't know it was loaded. But it
shot her off. 1t is only broken
leg. Not much comfort to her, but
good thing for the surgeon.
There's money in it. People who
throw away orange peel should be
careful to throw it so that it will
land with the slippery side down,
unless they are in league with the
bone setting profession. In that
case, of course, it is d @erent.-Lon~
don Tit-Bits.

tie 'ial from bitches upon sand
clay road. Not infrequently turf,
soil and silt from ditch bottoms are
pile d in the middle of the road in
ridge. making mudholes certainty.
1t is important in using grader
to avoid building up the road too
much at one time. A road grad
nallv built up by frequent use of tn
grader will last better than if COM
pleted at one operation. The fore
man frequently thinks his road must
be high in the first instance. He
piles up material from 10 inches to a
foot in depth only to learn, with the
arrival of the rain. that he has fur
nished the material for as many
inches of mud. All material should
be brought up in thin layers, each
layer we'll puddled and firmly packed
by roller or traffic before the next is
added. A common mistake is to
crown too high with the machine on
narrow road.
The split log brag should be used
to fill in ruts and smooth the road
when not too badly washed. The
drag possesses great merit and is so
simple in construction and operation
that every farmer should have one.
A special article will be published
la3er telling how to make and use
the drag.

TIE CHINESE. CODE.
II Is Older Than Any Other That
Now In Use,

Now In Use.
1t may not be generally known
that China has an ancient and elab-
crate, not to say voluminous, code
of written laws. In point of an
tiquity it is by far the oldest of all
codes now in force. Only such in
struments as the Decalogue or the
code of Hammurabi seem ancient
beside it. If the code of Justinian
had been continuously operative
since its PRONUNCIATION it would still
be youthful as compared with this
Chinese product. Intrinsically it
consists of some twenty-four vol
umes, in the literary language of the
empire, and it not only covers the
general field of substantive civil and
criminal jurisprudence, but it also
touches upon nearly every phase of
human interest and duty, for the
Chinese conception of law is broader
than the occidental and includes
many subjects which western jurists
would regard as belonging to the
domain of ethics or etiquette.
Independently of its contents the
external character of this code af-
fords guarantee of its permanence.
1t is said to consist of the accumu-
lated DEGREES of the emperors, dat
ing back twenty centuries, collected,
revised and arranged in logical or
der, and is thus an application upon
an elaborate scale of the system of
adjudicated precedents which forms
the foundation of our Anglo-Saxon
jurisprudence. But in China the
respect for precedent and written
authority is much greater than with
us. "a quotation from Confuciu
has settled many a quarrel, arbitrat-
ed many a dispute"
The only class at all correspond
ing to our lawyers is that known
as "searchers," whose business it is
to find a precedent according to
which a litigated question may be
decided. With such notions thus
deeply rooted a code containing the
precedents of ages and embodying
the sum of Chinese juridical philos-
ophy is not apt to be seriously dis
turbed even by the mighty upheaval
now taking place in the Celestial
empire.-Charles Sumner Lobingier
in American Review of Reviews.

The Chewers.

''Tobacco isn't the only thing
chewed," said the cigar store man.
81 wish it was. In the far east
they chew the betel. They wrap the
nut in bit of leaf, and for season
ing they add little lime. It's a
tart tasting chew, not bad, and it
has, Like tobacco, a soothing effect.
Coffee experts and dealers chew cof-
fee beans, and tea dealers chew tea.
Very celebrating, both chews, but
ruinous to the nerves and digestion.
Jockeys and trainers chew oats, hay,
straw-anything horsy. Horse feed
makes cheap and harmless chew.
In the spice trade the hands often
get the habit of chewing ginger or
cinnamon or a Glove, but spices are
bad for the teeth. Seamstresses
chew bits of thread, and athletes
chew gum"

Vegetable Ivory.

The plant yielding the vegetable
ivory is known to botanists as Ply
telephas macrocarpa. 1t is native
of South America, found chiefly
along the Magdalena river, in Co
lombia. 1t is a stemless, palmlike
plant, the top Of which is crowned
with from twelve to twenty very
long leaves. The fruit consists of a
conglomerated head in six or seven
sections, the whole being inclosed in
a woody covering, forming altogeth-
er a globe as large as mans head.
A single plant sometimes bears six
or eight of these heads, each weigh
ing from twenty to twenty-five
pounds. When young they contain
a milklike fluid, which with age
hardens until it becomes valuable as
a substitute for real ivory.

The Size of Alaska.

Alaska contains $4,000 square
miles of mainland, 1000 square
miles of the Aleutian islands and
$4,000 square miles Of other islands,
a total of $4,000 square miles, or
one-fifth of the area of the rest Of
the United States. 1t requires the
areas of California, Oregon, Wash
ington, Idaho, Montana and New
York to equal this. The area of
New York, Pennsylvania, Ohio, In
diana, Illinois, Virginia and West
Virginia equals only one-half OF
Alaska. It equals the combined
area of Great Britain and Ireland,
France, Germany, Belgium and the
Netherlands. It stretches from lat
itude 81 degrees to II degrees and
from longitude 100 degrees to 1s'
degrees.

EnqIish Legend of Tailed Men.

When a Hollander wants to show
his contempt for an Englishman
he refers to him as a ''steert man"
in other words, "the man with a
tail" The old legend says that
Thomas a Beckett cursed the Kent
ishmen who spitefully cut off his
horses tail and that the entire gen.
Grafton of Kent which followed
wore tails like horses. John Bale,
Edward Wis bishop of Ossory,
mentions the legend, but gives some
variations as to the cause of the
punishment. He says on the au-
thority of John Capgrave that 'for
castyne yshe tayles at st. Angus
tine Dorsetshyre men had tayles
ever after that Polydorus, how
ever, applies the legend to the
Kentish men of Stroud ''forecutting
off Tomas Becket's horses tayle. :"
One account says that only those
living in Kent at the time the curse
was pronounced "were afflicted with
large dropping tayles like brutes,
their posterity beying not SO af-
fected."

GOOD ROAD WORK
Hints on Road Building that are
Valuable.
Good Roads Mean a Faster
Development of the
County.

While American road builders are
as capable of constructing good
roads as those OF any country of the
old world, they have not been as
Loyalty supported as the men of
those countries in ma tanning the
highways after completion, and the
deplorable state of many hundred
thousand miles of road is thus
accounted for. County and toun-
ship officials may at the outset
stand the expense of having a road
built, but they strenuously object
when asked to provide funds to re-
build the road that has been allowed
to go to ruin.
1t is important that farmers learn
of the benefits to be derived from
good earth roads; that county boards
be impressed with the need of
proper maintenance of the same, and
that road builders and overseers
learn how best to care for the roads
in their charge.
The persistent and powerful enc
mics of earth roads are water aud
narrow tires, and the constant effort
OF the men in charge of the roads
should be to guard against their de-
structive effects and remedy all
damage as quickly as possible.
The simple implements which have
been found to he of greatest assis-
lance in this work are the pillow, the
drag scraper, the wheel scraper tn
road grader, and the split-Iog drag.
With sandy soil and a subsoi
of clay, or clay and gravel. deep
blowing so as to raise and mix the
clay with the surface soil and sand
will prove beneficial, The combin-
alton forms sand clay road at a
trifiing expense. On the other hand
If the road be entirely of sand a mis-
take will be made if it is plowed un-
less clay can be added. Such plow-
ing would merely deepen the sand,
and at the same time break up the
small amount of hard surface mater
ial which may have formed. If the
subsoil is clay and The surface scant
in sand or gravel, blowing shonld
not be rcsorted to, as it would result
in clay surface rather than one of
sand or gravel. A road foreman
must know not only what to pillow
and what not to pillow. but how and
when to pillow, If the road is of the
kind which according to the above
instructions should be plowed over
its whole width, the best method is
to run the FIRST furrow in the middle
of the road and work out to the
sides, thus forming a crown. Re-
suits from such blowing are creates t
in the spring or early summer.
In bitches u plow can be used to
good advantage, but should be fol-
lowed by scraper or grader. To
make wide, deep bitches nothing
better than the ordinary drag scrap
err has yet been devised. For hauls
under 100 feet, or in making fills "
it is especially serviceable. Tt is a
mistake, however, to attempt to
handle long haul material with this
scraper, as the wheel scraper is bet
ter adapted to such work. For
hauls of more than 800 feet, wagon
should be used.
The machine most generally used
in road work is the grader, or road
machine. This machine is es-
pecially useful in subsoil under a
thin coating of soil should rot be
disturbed with a grader. 1t is also
a mistake to use a grader in
discriminatly and to pull ma
