The last link of IL miles of the rail-
road across Costa RIGA is being rushed
to completion by an American con-
tractor. 1t was last year In August
that the congress of Costa RIGA ap-
proved the contract made by the pres
ident of that republic with Warren H.
Knowlton, an American citizen. for
the completion of the Pacific railway
between San Jose and Puntarenas.
Referring to this contract Mr.. Will
lam Lawrence Merry, the American
minister to Costa RIGA. says that the
price to be paid is half a million dol
lars United States gold and the period
for construction Is months, failing in
which the contractor must pay q for
felt of $4,000 per month, and the gov
eminent agrees to pay bonus of the
same amount for each month less
than the stipulated time agreed upon.
Only one short tunnel and one impo--
tant bridge will be necessary. and
the grade of the part to be constructed
is very easy. With the completion of
this railway Costa RIGA will have an
interoceanic transit ITO miles in
length, divided as follows: Atlantic
section, Port Limon to San Jose. 1O3
miles: Pacific section, San Jose to
Puntarenas, 81 miles. The Atlantic
section is owned by the Costa RIGA
Railway Company, an English corpora
ton, and Is leased to the Costa Rica
Northern railroad. an American cor
poration owned by the United Fruit
Company. The Pacific section is
owned by the Costa Rica government.
Both roads are three feet six inches

About fifteen or eighteen years

had the reputation of being the best

Dorothy, aged eight years. was very

to be allowed to attend services one
Sunday morning she was disconso-
late.

not decrease the traffic through the

Central America every new railway
is an aid to peaceful. relations be-

Quaint Scotch Marriage Customs.

Quaint Scotch Marriage Customs.
Many quaint marriage customs still
survive in many old English and
Scottish families.
One notable tradition of this sort
still kept green by the dukes of Atholl
and their heirs is that of the bride
groom carrying the bride across the
threshold of Blair castle. it being in
accord with an ancient tradition that
it is unlucky for bride who enters
the castle for the first time to walk
in the ordinary way. This is only
one of the many quaint old feudal
customs that are observed upon this
estate, which the duke of Atholl holds
from the crown by one of those strange
tenures which are occasionally to be
found in Great Britain. Upon fear of
forfeiture the owner has to present
his sovereign with white rose when
ever he or she visits the castle.

To get the best results from the
separator, the Kansas experiment sta
ton urges observance of the four rules
which follow: 1. The speed of the bowl
has an influence on the cream. A
change in speed from one separation
to another changes the per cent. of
fat of the cream. 2 The temperature
Of the milk affects the cream. II the
milk is warm the cream will be thick
er than if it is cold. 5. The amount
separated per hour is another factor
This is especially important For if
the milk is unevenly fed into the bowl
the thickness of the cream is vastly in
fluenced. 4. The amount Of water or
skimmilk used to flush out the bowl
will affect the quality of the cream.
All these things tend to show that the
separator must be handled with care
and good judgment

In commenting on the great service
which specialized farming had doUe
for agriculture, the Utica IN. "
Press has this to say: Twenty years
ago many farmers cut down their ap-
pie orchards as useless waste of good
land. Orchard pests had ruined the
crops year after year. and the grow
ers were discouraged. They had not
learned how to fight the enemies of
the trees. and were not convinced of
the practicability of spraying and
other modern means now employed by
fruit growers. The farmers of the
county lave studied the problem of
combating insects and have solved
it to a large extent. 1t is not an un-
common thing to hear of farmers who
sold the fruit crop of season for
more than they paid few years since
for their farms. They are satisfied
that science has done something for
the fruit grower" Scientific meth
DDS. more thorough understanding of
the demands of modern times and
careful study of the markets, espe-

Move to the Sunnyside

Nothing is truer in this world,
says an exchange, than this fact,
we get ont of this life just about
what we put into it. There are
two lines of thought to follow and
success or failure depends largely
upon which is chosen. How is
your eye-sight? Are you in the
shadows, so that every outlook is
dark, business poor, town slow
neighbors commonplace, and even
your own home dull? Does life
seem tinged with chronic blue
color that makes everything you
touch seem menaced with disaster
and doomed to Disappointment? If
so get out of it, move over on to
the sunny side of the street, where
there is warmth and inspiration
and hope. You will find yourself
taking an entirely different view of
life. Not only will the vanish and
your spirits tighten but there will
be a different class of folks that
you will meet. For here as else
where, like seeks like. On the shady
side, where there is cold and gloom
and indifference, the people who
are pessimistic and faithless will be
found. If you stay there you will
become chronic "knocker." On
the sunny side will be found the
optimistic, who are in the habit of
seeing the best there is in the world
and in other people. Think how
much more these get out of life
than the others. They are the
courageous who fight the good fight
They are the people who build up
their community. They are the
happy and contented, always hope
full, always reaching out for larger
things, larger ways of usefulness
for themselves and others, strengt-
hened and energized for the future
because they are pleased at every
good thing which comes to them
These are the people who succeed
and prove a blessing to the world
because they have faith in the hon.
esty of most people. Live on the
sunny side of the .street. Be glad
of life and of life and the privileges
it gives you 10 do something.
