Oiling a Kansas Road.

Some time ago a mile of country
road south Of Sedan, Kan, was oiled
under the direction of the Sedan Com
mercial club. Fifty dellars-was paid
for this, and it was all raised by pub
lie subscription. The Oil had TO be
hauled so far that the cost OF hauling
was almost equal to the price OF the
oil. Nevertheless the total cost of
dragging the road and OF soaking II i'm
oil was only $50.
The road was oiled in May and is
yet in almost as good copdition as it
was when finished. 1T is Well round
ed up, with good drainage, and the oil
has made it solid. something like as
phalt pavement. The road is the talk
OF the farmers. They win go a mile
or two out Of their way just to use it
in driving into Sedan.

Bit Of Local Art Criticism.

The late Gen. Lew Wallace was rec
ognized In art as we'll as in literature,
and he was the recipient during his
lifetime of compliments from many
distinguished people because Of his
work with the brush. His fame lives
after him. In January, 1876, George
c. Harding, at that time the brilliant
and versatile editor of the Saturday
Herald, of this city, In referring to
one Of General Wallace's paintings.
said:
His binary purple passes the maxi.
mum intensity by undue reciprocal
Tightening in juxtaposition Of its COM
plement.
Dan Paine, whose eye for the ridicu-
lous was unexcelled, referred to this
criticism as reaching sublimity," but
he was never quite able to understand
what Harding meant, and the brilliant
editor went to his grave without ex-
PLANTATION. However, the painting sur.
vived.

WHERE MEN USE sTILTs
In Low Districts Of Gasoony the Soft

In some parts OF the world. partlc-

silt walking Is a necessity. In
Gascony there are great level plains
covered with stunted bushes OF dry
heath. These waste lands have n
soil that Is so permeable, so soft and
yielding that the slightest fall OF rain

ism. But these wastes must be
traversed at all seasons by the poor
people of Gascony, and necessity has
accordingly made the Gascons n stilt-
walking people, and men, women and
children may be seen at all seasons
OF the year stuck upon high stills,
trudging through the waste lands,
carrying baskets, bundles and the
like. The stilts used are about five
feet long and often higher.
The shepherds OF Landes all go on
stills, and they think no more OF be-
Ing perched up from dawn to dusk
with their feet on level with
mans head than Chicagoans do OF
wearing shoes. The shepherd is
provided with a stout staff that an.
swers for many purposes. At the
proper place in the staff Is flap,
which makes n comfortable seat when
turned down. On this the shepherd
quietly sits and watches his flock,
and while he sits up there he knits
or spins with dlstaff thrust in his
girdle.
The Landes silt walker can do
marvellous things with these five-foot
leg extensions. He can run with a
speed that will tax horse, pick up
a pebble or pluck a flower as the
cowboy reaches to the earth from his
pony, and he can drop to the ground
level and regain the perpendicular as
quickly as boy can turn a hand.
