WAY SUGGESTED ID BRING BROAD
 TIRES INTO USE.

Already our suggestion of a ] few days ago. that the use of broad tires be brought as a means of saving our roads has brought forth a respose. P. C. Townsend of Corsicana writes The News to say that last winter he prepared "a rough draft of a bill. copied from the Massachu- setts law, and submitted it to several members of the Legisla- ture." The bill provided, MT. Townsend says, that after five years the sale of narrow-tired wagons was to be forbidden. The width of the tire was to be governed by the diameter of the axle, and MT. Townsend says that for the ordinary farm wagon it would have prescribed a tire a. bout twice as broad as those now generally in use. MT. Townsend says the Massachusetts law was adopted about fifteen years ago as a result of an agitation begun by the League of American Wheelman. At fir st, he says, it was unpopular, but" he adds, later the farmers in State meeting called the wheelmen blessed. '''
 All of which we submit mere ly to stimulate some considera- ton of the general subject. It is to be observed that MT. Town sends bill did not attempt to make kindling wood out of mar row-tired wheels in use, but looked to such a slow and gradu- al discontinuance of them as would have allowed every man to wear out, not only the wagons he had, but all he might buy within five years. There was no attempted confscation in that bill, nor could it have imposed a hardship; since the extra cost of broad-tired wheels on any wagon he may have bought after five years would have more than re- turned in the saving of roads.
 Certainly if we are to have good roads in Texas-and as- suredly we are going to have
 them-we ought, as a measure of common sence economy, bring broad tires into use. 1t will be
 a long process to accomplish
 that without imposing hardships,
 and that is why we ought to give
 some thought to the matter
 now. Dallas News.

The Missinu Link.

A lawyer having offices in a Phila-
delphia building wherein there are
some hundreds of tenants recently lost
a cuff link, one OF pair that he great
ly priced. Being absolutely certain
that he had dropped the link some
where in the building, he caused a no
tice to be posted in the following
terms:
"Lost-A gold cuff link. The owner,
William Ward, will deeply appreciate
its immediate return"
That afternoon on passing the door
whereon this notice was posted what
were the feelings of the lawyer to OBJ
serve that appended thereto were these
lines:
"The finder OF the missing cuff link
would deem it Il great favor If the
owner would kindly lose the other
link."-IIarper's Weekly.

Last Saturday night the town was awak-

and all who responded set to lend what
ever aid they~ould in restraining the blaze
from doing severe damage. The fire was
in the tin shop, storehouse and meat mar
ket of the Mclaughlin Brothers. 1t was
not until the middle Of the night that the
fire was checked from doing any more da-
mage The old hand engine was brought
into play and at just about the time the fire
was under control the water supply gave
out and then line was run from the mill.
The stream from the mill was very effective
and soon the fire was extlnguished.

AN AFRICAN TlTBlT.
Hippopotamus Meat Has a Strong

To the African traveller the hippo

inconsiderable danger involved in its
pursuit provides the delicious emotion

legation under which the leader Of the
expedition lies to feed his servants and
carriers adequately makes one Of these
enormous beasts. twelve feet long or
so and disproportionately wide, a per-
feet godsend. Not only does the hippo
EOtamus furnish a formidable amoun:

FIVE SENSES NOT ENOUGH.
Our Limited Scale Of Consciousness
Shuts Out Many Vibrations.

Between the vibrations that we call
electricity and the vibrations that we
call heat we imagine there must be
other vibrations filling up the gap, but
we do not know, simply because we
have no senses that can comprehend
them. The spectrum is just such a
little scale. Below the darkest red at
the lower end we cannot see; at the
other end as the vibrations get faster
and faster through the orange, the blue
and the violet is another unknown
gap-that is, we cannot see it. But
surely the vibrations are there. Some
Of them, for instance, that we have
never seen and never can see mark
their presence on Photographic plate.
And this same spectrum may be used
as an analogy to describe spiritualistic
phenomena. Just as there are limits
at either end of the scale Of vibrations
beyond which our own senses can tell
us nothing so may there be psychic
forces at work beyond the limits of our
consciousness. These are seemingly
supernatural to us when we witness
their effect, but they really are no
more supernatural than the Y ray that
pierccs the solid body or the invisible
ultra violet ray that marks the photo
graphic pate.-From Are the Dead

Care of Snowshoes.

Snowshoes need very little care. You
don't have TO wipe them dry with n
ehamois, for instance, the prescribed
treatment for skates. When taking
them off merely tap them against the
wall or n tree to shake free the cling
ing snow and stand them up on their
heels outside. Never attempt to dry
them before fire. When they are put
away for the summer select dry
place where there will be no danger of
mice.-Country Life In America.
