With the approach of the centenary ceIe-
brations of the famous Tyrolean fight for
freedom, q new industry has been created in
Tyrol. Every veterans association and ri
file club in the land is preparing some kind
of q festival at which historic guns and
flags and other emblems will be displayed.
Unfortunately, these relies have become
rather scarce in the hundred years which
have elapsed since the war; but undaunted
by this trifling circumstance, the ingenious
peasantry are setting to work to make their
own relics.
In this enterprise they have developed
remarkable ingenuity A new flag is used
for some time as a duster, and then after
being carefully smeared over with grease on
both sides is put up in the garrett where the
grain is stored. In few days the mice
have made some artistic "bullet" holes in
the flag which is then hung out in the gar
den. The does the rest, and q faded
and tattered flag of really venerable APP
pearance is the result.
The village blacksmiths have shown M
less cleverness in making historic cannon,
and there is no reason to fear that the CEN
tenary celebrations will suffer from any
lack OF relics of the

Around the dear old home.

Waiting sweet perfume.

Gathering their sweets,

The accompanying illustrations give an
Idea OF the permanent quality of work being
brought TO bear upon the road conditions
(the county of Montgomery may be taken
as evidence of the general incompleteness of
the government statistics, for in 1904 Mont
gomery Is credited with 10S miles of i'm
proved roads. A report from the Board of
Revenue of Montgomery County shows 1856
miles improved out of a total of $50, thus
indicating that more than so per cent. of
the roads of the county are now good
roads.
In this county there Is one mile of good
roads to every two and one-half square
miles. which is a high proportion. Accord
ing to j. Fl. Cook, Of the Board of Revenue,
Montgomery County has spent in the last
while the taxable value of the county has
grown from less than $5,ooo.oeo to over
SIS. 5000, 900, thus demonstrating by taxable
value the convenience brought through the
county by the Improvement OF the roads
and the enhancement of land values.
