HOW TO HAVE GOOD ROADS.
Jersey Farmer Suggests Scheme to
Avoid Making Ruts.

Jersey Farmer Suggests a Scheme to
Avoid Making Ruts.
A farmer at Finderne. N. j.. writes
as follows to the editor Of the New
York Evening Telegram:
would like to call the attention Of
road masters and automobilists to a
matter consideration Of which on their
part would confer great benefit on
the driving public.
On some of the roads of Long Island
Is posted n notice requesting persons
driving not to confne their vehicles to
single part Of the thoroughfare. thus
producing two ruts. constant wear on
which uses the roadway up in very
short order. Compliance with the post
ed request on the roads mentioned
keeps them smooth throughout their
entire length and breadth and delight
to motorists and all others using them.
Union avenue in this town FinderneJ
is favorite with motorists. and If
the Long Island rule were posted and
obeyed it would be a fine thoroughfare.
Instead it consists of two long ruts CT
from one to six inches in depth. which
require constant attention and repair.

MARTIAL MORTALS.

The human race is brave race.
1t is proved by the fact that 1t con-
tinues to live. While 1t requires BRAY
cry to die. 1t requires more bravery to
live. And humanity Is SO stout hearted
1t fights the battle Of life SO long as it
can fight. Occasionally tired. sick
hearted one surrenders. but he is the
exception.
Humanity is brave.
Men and women daily face conflicts
that might we'll daunt the intrepid
gods. Think you because they go
about with smiling faces there are no
tasks that test all their fortitude. no
sorrows that must be courageously
borne?
Humanity Is brave.
Here is one fighting to keep in sub
lection his lower nature. Think of the
duels he fights! Who knows the striv-
ings Of his defeats, the gallantry of
his victories? He is brave man, as
brave as ever couched lance in rest
against foe. And here is one who
tackles the wild beasts in the arena of
business competition and one who
struggles with great sorrow.
Humanity is brave
This woman faces poverty and limi-
tations, or anxiety, or pain. strain on
nerve or sympathy An archangel
might we'll shudder to undertake the
whole gamut of suffering that comes
with wifehood and motherhood. And
there is no shrinking. Woman dies and
gives no sign Woman lives and smiles
in the front of Fate.
Humanity is brave
In this strenuous life of ours the real
men and women sleep each night as
the soldier SieenS-on the battlefield.
and reveil!e wakes c9ch martial NOR
tai to daily ba.;le-so;ne to fight the
good fight with hands and some with
brains and some with hearts. Look
about you. Is it not true? You may
even see some who are fighting with
broken sword
Yes, humanity Is brave.
But 1t needs to repeat daily the
prayer Of Robert Louis Stevenson:
THE day returns and brings us the
round Of irritating concerns and du-
ties Help us to play the man; help
us to perform them with laughter and
kind faces: let cheerfulness abound
with industry. Give us to go blithely
on our business all this day. bring us
TO our resting place weary and content
and undiscovered and grant us in the
end the spirit Of sleep. Amen"

RENOvATING OF PILLOWS.
How to Fill Them With Feathers
Without Losing Many.

Rcnovating pillows is of vast impor-
lance during the house cleaning sea-
son. Stuffing in more feathers when
your pillows wear soft is Il thing most
inexperienced housekeepers dread, and
with good reason, for unless it is done
just so the feathers fly every which
way, bits of the soft down clinging to
hair and dress and everything in the
room with persistence remarkable in
such apparently yielding things. When
that necessary time comes around,
shut yourself up in as empty a room
as you can get Ga small one is best.
taking all the pillows which need fill
ing, case full Of feathers Tor another
pillow from which you purpose to re-
plenish the others), strong thread and
stout needles and knife for the rip
ping.
Tuck your hair up under cap or
tie a big handkerchief over it. Don't
wear a cloth dress to do the work in.
even though you take the precaution to
put on big work apron-the kind that
covers you up from throat to hem
Those feathers have way Of creeping
along the fOor-the slight drafts of air
caused by your movements being suili-
cient excuse-and attaching them
selves to the hem of your dress.
Close doors and windows before you
begin your work. Then with your
knife rip open the end Of pillow and
the end of the one whose contents are
to be divided among the others. An
old method was to transfer the feath-
ers by handfuls, pressing each little
lot well down before taking another.
But better way is to insert the ripped
end Of the pillow to be emptied into
that of the one to be filled and then to
shake down enough to make it fairly
but only fairly-hard. Then slip your
hand inside and push the remaining
feathers far back. at the same time
working the edges of the ticking to-
gethcr. When you finally separate
them there will be fewer feathers set
flying around aimlessly than in any
other way.
Pin the seam of the filed pillow to-
gether and begin on the next, doing all
of them before you sew up any, but
scanning them all before you leave the
room.

The Most Common Cause of Suffering

Rheumatism causes more pain and
suffering than any other disease, for
the reason that it is the most COM
mon of all ills, and it is certainly
gratifying to sufferers to know that
Chamberlain Pain Balm will afford
relief, and make rest and sleep pos
sible. In many cases the relief from
pain, which is at first temporary, has
become permanent, while in old peo-
pie subject to chronic rheumatism
often brought on by dampness or
changes il. the weather, a permanent
cure cannot be expected the relief
from pain which this liniment affords
is alone worth many times its cost.

How to Renovate an Old Waist.

Last seasons waists were made
much narrower in the shoulders than
this years, and the sleeves simply
were immense. If you have Il waist
which has sleeves made OF the same
material rs your waist and which are
too large, it probably also has yoke
of some shape of net Maybe your
waist, especially if it is of silk or satin,
is worn under the arms. II you have Il
few pieces of velvet or silk you can
make your waist as good as new and
in a pretty, up to date style. Rip the
sleeves out and cut the armholc from
two to four inches larger, or enough
larger so that all the worn part is cut
away. Cut the neck round, If it was
V shaped or square, and finish 1t with
q half inch wide band of velvet or silk
and sew a band of the same material
into the large armhole. This band
should be two or two and half inches
wide. Make belt of the same ma
terial. If the old waist blouses too
much It should be let down an inch or
so. This will give you pretty, mod
ern overblouse, which may be worn
over lingerie, net or lace blouses.

Sig nor P F Gambardella was the star of the evening and shared the honors with Miss Beatrice Brewster of Hart ford, tiny sweet miss of some eleven summers Her singing of several pleasing compositions last night cer- tainly reflected the greatest credit on her teacher Professor Leopold, and showed just what child can accom-. plish by careful and artistic methods Of training. Her rendering of T Love You Truly" would have done credit to an artist of three times her years. and the easy manner in which she reached the most difficult notes brought forth tho hearty plaudts of the audience, The ease with which Signor Gam, bardella handled four of the great Italian masters aras showed clearly that his recent study under Professor Leopold had made wonderful im- provement in the freedom of his voice and its effectiveness, His most bril- liant effort was without a doubt his perfect execution of Celeste Aida" while the most charming gem of the program was "Come With Me" by Campana, sung in English, by Miss Marle C.
