SOUTHERN INTEREST
IN GOOD ROADS.

Interest in good roads is a ,grew-s
ing sentiment in the South, fnfHng
expression in many quarterssann
many forms, says the Baltimore
Sun. The fact that the local transpor-
tation item enters into the cost oil
every article the farmer buys OF
sells is being more clearly appreci.
ated than formerly, and farmers are
holding meetings and debating the
ways and means of lessening that
item. The Progressive Farmer, OF
Rsleigh, n c., shows that tsx for
improved roads is in effect an abate.
ment Of the heavier tax the farmers
already pay in wasting the strength
of their teams, their own time and
their own money by dragging over
rocks, pulling through deep sand,
joiting across ditohes, splashing in
mudholes and climbing steep hills !"
Every road, it is recognized, cal

ed, but the more important roads
can b. made at small cost where
macadam is impracticable and
Thousand and thosand of miles OF
earth roads can be redeemed from
chronic badness by the persistent
use of the split-log road drag" The
people are graphing with the SUBJ
ject and getting down to details.
A notable expression of interest in
good roads was made recently al

primaries for the office of Governor
A plan was, suggested which is
heartily indoors d by our contempor-

1t is proposed, in the first place,
that the State shall purchase
granite quarries to supply crushed
stone for improved roads, the roads
being constructed by convict labor

the aggregate upon which the State
would provide interest would BE-
about $l0,000,000, the annual
charge arising from which, at per
cent, would be S400, 900 Tits an
nual charge could be met, it is urged,
out of the $775, goo of proceeds OF
the railroad tax. The S ate is now
spending $4,000 yearly for good
roads, so that but 100000 of new
money would be required from the

HOUSEHOLD NOTES

Pure olive oil, taken regularly, a teaspoonful or a tablespoonful, after each meal, is an excellent fattener. It brightens the eyes and clears the com plexion.
 A delicious salad is made of canned cherries and pecan nuts tossed up with a well-mixed French dressing. Serv- ed on leaves of lettuce heart. it is as pretty as it is tasty
 When making sweetened biscuit, whether with or without fruit, add a few chopped almonds to the tops. It makes the pastry more attractive and adds much to the toothsomeness.
 When using elderberries for a pie, a little vinegar or lemon should be ad- ded if one wishes to get the full flavor of the fruit The same suggestion holds good for huckleberry pie.
 Should machine oil mark any gar ment in the making, rub it briskly with a cloth wet with strong ammo mia before washing it with soda. This will remove all trace of the spot.
 The ceasiest way to clean cereal cooker is to turn it upside down in pan of boiling water and steam it un- til the sticky mass is soft and loosen ed from the sides of the pan. | Aotasty cracker to serve with salad is made by spreading the thin waters with a paste made of butter, well creamed and seasoned to taste. Brown the crackers after spreading them.
 Hats of white erin may be sponged with soap and water without injury. The crown should be filled with soft tissue paper while the drying is go- ing on to keep the hat in shape.
 When using stale bread for buildings always soak it in cold liquid. Bread that has been soaked in cold milk or water is light and crumbly, whereas that soaked in hot liquids is heavy.
 When a piece of fur is matted and hn1 10 nf steaming kettle until it is thoroughly moist and then shake vigorously un- til nearly dry. Then brush with soft brush.
 A liver and bacon variation is to lard slices of liver with thin strips of bacon and then season well with salt and pepper and thyme, bake the meat in a covered pan, basting occa- siohally, for an hour.
 To make sippets, which are daintiest things to be served with boiled eggs, cut slices of bread in strips half an inch wide, the same thickness and about four inches long. Dip in mel(t- ed butter and toast in an oven.
 To purify rancid butter, melt and skim the butter and put in a piece of the bread will have. absorbed the of fensive taste and smell, and when the butter is chilled it will be found sweet.
 For luncheon dishes where variety IS wanted crop an egg Into peeleu tomato which has had the inside scooped out. Put the tomato into a rankin, season it, add butter and little hot water and bake until the egg is set.
 Water spots .on silk may very often be removed by sponging with ether, but should first be tried on corner of the goods, for. if it is the kind of silk that is chemically weighted. the application of any. liquid may ruin it.

DIR. C. A. RYDER PRESIDENT OF
 DENTAL SOCIETY

The, annual convention of the Con necticut Chronological Society was held yesterday at Lehmann's shore house on Seaview avenue. Dr. c. A. Ryder of this city was elected presi- dent for the coming year. The vice presidency went to Dr.. E. c. Curtis of New Haven, but Bridgeport took the next two important offices, pr. George H. Neubauer being chosen secretary and Dr. F. l.. Uhle treasurer. The executive committee is made up who'll ly of New Haven dentists. Drs. L. D.. Monks, l.. T. Doolittle and E. c. Cur tfs.
 The next convention will be held in the early part of next year at New Haven The report of the treasurer showed the society to be in a very prosperous condition. After settling affairs of state, the members of the s6ciety numbering about so from vari- ous parts of the State, sat down to an excellent shore dinner. An informal discussion of dental topics was begun and much enjoyed by those present, Dr, Ryder, the newly chosen president, making graceful toastmaster.

CONSIGNEES PAY WELL TO
 OBTAIN THEIR FREIGHT
Difficulties of Bridgeport and New York Transportation Company Annoy
 Shippers.

At the wharf of the New York & Bridgeport Transportation Co:N at the foot of Pembroke street, to-day, there is every earmark that the affairs of the company are being wound up. All Of the freight consigned to local con cerns which was held aboard the steam canaler Charles J. Johnson" by her owner, Mitchell Yarder, for debt has been discharged and Yarder has been charging freight rates suf- ficiently high to enable him to real ize S24O, which he claimed was due him from the transportation company Little bundles which were usually carA ried for 20 cents were raised iH some instances to 90 cents. One manufac- turing concern had the freight bill for one consignment raised from $4.S0 to s1S.9O. All paid but said, Never again."
 Manager Grandfeld and the local office force have stood by the local concerns and lent all the aid possible in. seeing that they got their ship mentS.
 There is no freight being shipped by the company from this city and there is no indication of any being shipped from New York. The sentiment seems to be that the men who managed the affairs of the company in New York did not stick to the Bridgeport mer- chants who stuck to them.

TREES IN HOLLAND.
All Streets and Canals Bordered With

All Streets and Canals Bordered With
 Films or Lindens.
 The average Dutch town is an Jat- tractive place in the summer months, since practically every street and canal is bordered with shade trees, which shut out the glare of the sun and offer cool and inviting avenues for the ex- ploration of the tourist. The banks of these canals are generally terraced in two levels-the lower one for ware houses and the upper for shops or dwellings, but each elevation is plant. ed with trees.
 At best a city is an exceedingly poor location for tree culture. Marrow streets, with tall buildings, exclude the life giving sunlight; asphalt or closely. paved walks prevent the necessary moisture from sinking into the ground and nourishing thirsty roots,. and leak age from the gas mains is a deadly poison to all vegetation. For this req son care should be exercised in the selection of the variety of trees for street planting in order to get the best results. In Holland time has demon strated that the elm and linden should be placed in the first rank, for there are many examples of these species in Dutch towns which have withstood the ravages of more than two. cen turies. The elm appears to be the hardier of these two trees and will live under most adverse conditions.
 The Dutch municipalities expend large sums each year for the preserva- tion of their shade trees, but the re suits amply justify the cost for main tenance.-Harper's Weekly.
