Be Your Own Tree Doctor.

Every man should be his own tree
doctor. If properly trained he has
been busy all summer removing suck
ers from the trees, fighting fungus
and discouraging insects. When the
leaves are off he goes all over his
plantation, diagnosing each tree,
shrub and bush. He will find some
borers not yet killed, and these
should be thoroughly eradicated from
his ounces and apples before winter
sets In. Use a flexible wire and a
sharp knife; and when the larvae are
killed, pile coal ashes freely around
the tree. He will probably find in
his currant and berry fields more or
less bushes that cultivation has
loosened in the soil. These are liable
to heave out during the winter. He
should slip a narrow shovel under
the plant, draw out the dirt, and let
the bush settle until it is we'll plant
ed. Tread heartily, and then, if you
have them to spare, place a scuttle
Of coal ashes about each one.-From

The Frenchman Looked Innocent.


Some time since, in a fremont
Street store in Boston, a nervous lit
tie Frenchman brushed against a
pretty trife Of vaseware valued at
about fourteen dollars and succeeded
In getting several score more pieces
out Of it than had gone into it's max
sng. The foorwalker led the abashed
Partisan aside and politely explained
that the broken vase must be paid for.
Monsieur fetched a handful Of small
silver and copper, mostly foreign,
from his pocket when he was told the
value Of the trife. "Mon Dieu,"
cried the Partisan, "seventy francs!"
At this he took out his billbook and
discovered a ffty-dollac draft, which
the feorwalker instantly seized upon,
to the unspeakable horror Of its
owner. After deducting the value of
the vase the former handed the man
his change and dismissed him with a
foorwalker's blessing. The express
draft reached the bank in due time,
with four others, as fraudulent, but
the volatile little Frenchman had de-
parted southwark with the swallows.

II You Are Lost ia the Woods

- : Ou <xS LOST III t00 @
Let the mar who is lost in The
woods be very careful not to over
exert himself. His chief dangers lie
IN panic and over-exertion, and
though he may be in q great hurry
to ind shelter, I must warn him to
SO slowly. Two miles an hour, on
an average, through the snow in the
woods, is all that a man in his con-
dltion will-be able to stanaswithout
over-fatigue~and its attendant daa-
gers, everlasting and perspiration.
By exercising caution, a man may
live through a week of what he is
undergoing. To make this article
brief, however, we shall suppose that
he regains the road by the afternoon
Of the first day. He doesn't yet
know, Of course, just where he, is.
He should examine the tracks Of the
person who last passed that way. It
being afternoon, he must follow in
the direction taken by the last pass
ing vehicle or team, as shelter will
be nearest In that direction. Had
it been morning he would have taken
the opposite direction, as whoever
made the tracks must have come from
the place where he obtained shelter
the previous night.-From "Lost in
the Woods" by A. B. Carleton, in

A Great State Road.

In his address before the Pennsyl-
vania Bar Association Governor Stu
art led up to eulogy of the plan to
construct a great highway across this
State from end to end. This project
has been frequently discussed during
recent years, but never with a better
grasp of the principle involved than
by Governor Stuart. First, there
should be the great trunk line from
Pittsburg to Philadelphia, offering it's
accommodation alike to the farmer
on his way to market and to the tour
list seeking pleasure amid the pic
turesque Genes of the Keystone
State. Next, there should be lateral
branches, making this great highway
Commonwealth.
This is a project on which the State
of Pennsylvania may we'll expend
sums for the benefit of its people. It
is a rich State and great-in all
things save it's public roads. For
Stuart Pennsylvania has not such
highways as it should have. But it is
never too late to mend. The great
road is by no meal to be considered
an end. 1t is only a means-a prac-
tical example to encourage counties
and townships to build and maintain
good public highways. It will serve
the purpose of showing the smaller
civil divisions how to do the work,
and it will exemplify the advantages
of having good roads in every dis
trict. 1t is in this aspect that it is
given the sanction of the Governor
and his encouragement.
The time has arrived in this State
when good roads are essential to it's
highest development. Though it's in
dustries have thriven amazingly and
its farms have prospered, with indif-
ferent roads, it's further development
demands that which has heretofore
been neglected. It's great industrial
population must be put in closer
touch with it's rural population
which is destined to grow in numbers
and usefulness. Good roads are
necessity.-Pittsburg Dispatch.

The Family Toothbrush.

Country people, as a rule, always
try to make the teacher feel that she
is Gone of the family and all that
they possess is for her use and pleas

a visit home over Sunday, she dis
covered, to her annoyance, that she
had left her toothbrush at home. and
she expressed her annoyance at the
fact, the lady Of the house replied

Z Good Roads. Z
Trains on Highways.

Consul General Robert P. Skinner.
Marseilles, furnishes the following
information concerning the running
of passenger and freight trains OF
the highways Of France:
There recently passed this consul.
ate a Train Renard,' composed Of a
locomotor, two passenger cars and
one baggage car, which had just ar
rived from Paris under its w power
and over the ordinary roads, thus sup
plying to the public a demonstration
of its own efficiency. The trains
mentioned are composed of elements,
each receiving the energy of a vehi-
Gle called a locomotor, which being
placed at the head Of the train dis
tributes the necessary power to the
following elements by means OF a
transmission shaft extending from
one end Of the train to the other,
thus enabling each a to utilize it's
W adhesion to the road surface as
a means of advancement.
"The locomotor-that is to say, the
creator of the energy-is therefore
lighter than any Of the cars. Trains
of this type completely loaded are
able to maintain a speed Of twenty
one kilometers (13.05 miles) per
hour in case Of passenger trains on
levels and from fifteen to sixteen Kill
ometers (9.32 to 9.94 miles) per hour
in the case of freight trains. 1t is
said that the freight trains OF this
type are able to maintain al average
of from ten to twelve kilomctefs
(6.21 to 7.45 miles,, fully loaded,
In any kind of country.
"It would be useless to enter into
further details regarding these high
| road trains, as far as the United
States is concerned, inasmuch as we
are without a road system sufficient
ly advanced to make their application
possible. On the other hand the
adoption OF passenger and freight
trains over railiess roads in France
has become not only a possibility but
a fact. Already hundreds OF inacces-
sible hamlets, hitherto served by slow
going diligences, are kept in constant
| contact with the outside world by
means of large auto-omnibuses, NOV
ing at an average. rate of fifteen miles
an hour, transporting both passen'
gers and express parcels; and now
following this development, comes
the explosive engine motor, drawing
full trains of cars, which it is claimed
can be operated on level or mount
ainous roads at an exceedingly mod
crate expense. In other words, it al
that is claimed for these trains is re
allied, it will be possible to give 20,
900 communes in France, which d.
not at present enjoy railroad facili
ties, approximately the same advan
tages with respect to transportation
as the most populous and highly fav
ored centres.
"This illustrates how much thu
creation of a better highway system
would benefit the rural population
of the United States, who are at
great disadvantage in regard to trans
portation as compared with foreigl
communities, and deprived of The
various kinds of satisfaction result
ing from the existence of modern
highways"
