The efforts Of tte Congo state au-
thorities to or2esticate the African
elephant have brought out some inter
est;ng peculiarities of those animals.
During the wet Toascn, which lasts
four months, tho elephants are not
worked, but are turned out into the
forest. Instead, however, of rejoining
their wild kin, they seem to keep
apart, as if conscious of the difference
that their training has produced. On
being brought back to their duties
they show no disposition to shirk their
work. Their presence sometimes at
tracts wild elephants to the vicinity OF
their scene of labors, but these wild
animals are usually too old and in
tractable to be used as recruits.

efficient and to mend promptly small

siderably lower cost.
"The aim in making road is to es-
tablish the easiest, shortest and most
economical line of travel. It is there
fore desirable that roads should be
firm, smooth, comparatively level, and
1t is readily seen that this road was
terror to travellers before the drag got

with big road grader, but the unsub-

that they should be properly located
SO that their grades shall be such that
loaded vehicles may be drawn over
them without great loss of energy;
that they should be properly con-
structed, the roadbed graded, shaped

surfaced with the best available mate
rial suited to their needs. 5.
1T Is to be hoped that all the heavy
traffic roads in the United States can
be macadamized, graveled, or other
wise improved in the not far distant
future; but owing to the absence in
many places of rock, gravel, or other
hard and durable substances with
which to build good roads, and by rea-
son Of the excessive cost of such roads
where suitable material is scarce the
majority of our public highways will
of necessity be composed of earth for
many years to come. It is fortunate,
therefore, that under favorable condi-
tions of traffic, moisture, and mainten-
ance the earth road is the most elas-
tic and most satisfactory for pleas
ure and for light traffic. The condi-
tion of the common roads in this coun-
try, especially in the middle west, is
so deplorable at certain seasons of the
year as to operate as a complete en-
barge on marketing farm products"

ENGLISH BECOMES
WORLD LANGUAGE

The Berlin Board of Education, it is
stated, has made a study of the Eng
lsh language compulsory in all the
higher schools of that center. Eng
lish is having a steadily increasing
part in the curriculum of the higher
institutions of learning all over the
European Continent. Most of the grad
yates of the big schools Of Germany,
France, Austria, Italy and Russia have
knowledge of the English tongue
among their attainments. william IL.
speaks English better than he does
French, although Partisan friends Of
the Kaiser have said that his French
has the correct Partisan accent. Nj
cholas II. speaks English peter than
he does German or French, two Ian
guages in when he has been credited
with having a large knowledge, King
Victor Emmanuel has recently sur
prSsed some American visitors by his
mastery of their tongue, while Presi-
dent Fallieres is said to have made
Ambassador White rather ashamed Of
his own facility in handling the Unit
ed States speech.
In a larger sense perhaps than En-
erson thought at the moment, the en-
battled farmers at Concord Bridge
fired shot heard round the world,
The English language is gaining rapid
| ly over all the tongues among the l.
600 100000 people of the earth. About
two-thirds of all the worlds inhabit-
ants which use it as a national speech
reside in the United States. Even more
than was true in Webster's time Eng
land has dotted the surface of the
whole globe with her military posts,
and her morning drumbeat, following
the sun and keeping company with the
| hours, circles the earth with an un-
broken strain Of Englands martial
airs But by far the largest single force
in giving the English language a world
vogue has been the United States.
English has made a good deal OF
progress in the centuries which have
passed since Charles " used to speak
French on matters of business, Italian
I to women, German to his horses, and
Spanish to God. England was no part
of the big Emperor's domain, and the
English tongue was not held in very
high regard as permanency by some
of her illustrious sons, like Bacon, who
wrote in Latin, or some other tongue,
the works which they feared would be
lost if they appeared in Albion's YER
nacular. French is still the language
of diplomacy, though even in that field
English is making conquests. More
and more throughout the world Eng
lish is becoming the language of com
merce and politics. When a year Oh
two hence President Roosevelt makes
that projected world tour he will be
able to carry with him in his circuit
the tongue which he has talked on the
Potomac, the Hudson, and the Missis,
sippi-"St. Louis Globe-Democrat."

well. then gradually add the remainder
of the oil, stirring all the while Last
of all stir in the vinegar, which should
be diluted with water If very strong.
Another salad dressing that is very
nice is cooked dressing, which re-
quires two eggs, one gill Of vinegar,
two gills of milk, one tablespoonful of
oil or butter, one teaspoonful each of
salt and mustard and a quarter of a
teaspoonfu1 of pepper. Put the oil and
dry ingredients into a bowl and mix
well. Add the eggs. and beat for five
minutes, then add the vinegar and beat
one minute. Now add the milk, place
the bowl in a pan of boiling water and
cook until the sauce thickens like thin
cream. It will take about 10 minutes.
Stir the sauce constantly while cook
ing. Cool and bottle what you do not
require for immediate use. This sauce
is good for nearly all kinds of cooked
vegetables. If butter is substituted for
the oil, add it just before taking the
sauce from the fire.

Care of the Hair

1t is a mistake to wash the hair too
often, and in fact once in three weeks
is often enough. as too frequent wash
ing has the effect of depriving the
scalp of its natural supply of nourish-
ment. Brushing is therefore the only
way to keeping the hair clean, and for
this purpose brush with long bristles
not very close together is best. The
long bristles will reach through the
hair to the scalp, while the short ones
can not.
To begin the brushing after the
pins are taken out, the hair should be
parted in the middle and one-half
fastened to get it out of the way. Then,
with q comb, part close to the fore
head from one ear to the middle
should be made. This one strand is, of
course, separated from the rest, and
with the brush firmly grasped, the
bristles at the tip resting on the part.
the cleansing is commenced. All of
this work is done with the few bristles
at the end. and these, beginning on the
scalp, are drawn down firmly and even
ly to the very tip of the lock. This
should be done several times, being sure
that the scalp is busted, as it We're,
each time. This strand is then put by
and another taken, the process being
repeated until all of one side of the
head has been treated-after which the
other side is brushed in the same man.
