An Innovation In Roads.

During the last few years much
interest has been taken in the cru
SADIE for good roads, and in many
parts of the country model stretches
of highway have been constructed
bv good roads commissions to
serve as examples to the natives or
each locality. Much valuable IN
struction has been impaired in THIS
manner, but apparently no plan dls-
covered for overcoming the dlfncu!-
ties of road building in sandy SOIL.
II remained for a Minnesota man 10
adopt a new method Of construction
suitable for such a condition.
George w. Cooley, State highway
engineer of Minnesota, has designed
a road that is serviceable, in spite
of q sandy foundation. A section
of his new construction is located
aft Cambridge, in Isanti County. IN
this district there is nothing but sand
for a top soil, and it is impossible TO
nreserye a road without adding some
other material Mr.. Cooley finally
decided that sawdust was the com
nonent necessary, and a four-1nch
Iaver of this was raked into stretch
Of road which had been carefully
graded. Passing teams Thoroughly
ground together this mixture anu
whenever ruts were worn lfto Cil7
surface they were filled with 1resn
sawdust. The fine particles or Woou
gradually rot, forming a heavy loan
With the sand, and the result IS d
firm roadbed, suitable to all ordinary
traffic.-Harper's Weekly.

1t seems, though, as if the new
motor hood might be used even by
less fortunate beings who can't skim
the earth betwixt their own honk-
honk and their. odorous trail of smok-
ing dust.
1t is exceedingly thin and extraor-
dinarily elastic-this new waterproof
hood, says the Portland Express. 1t

handkerchief In its working mo-
ments it stretches big enough to COW
er the largest hat of the season, feath-
ers and all, and has little curtain
all around the neck to prevent rain
or dust sitting in the collar.
Could anything be more convenient
to carry in the mere pedestrian
pocket, to be whipped out and
stretched over ones sacred, picture

rain?

TEACHFR OVER THIRTY.

Dr.. Colin a. Scott, OF Boston Nor
NAL School, has gone on record in a
lecture, according to the newspapers,
to the effect that no woman should be
permitted to teach III the public
schools after she has passed the age
of thirty years-unless she then be-
comes married. DR. SCOTS argument
in favor of this proposition is that a
woman who has remained unmar-
ried until she is thirty years old,
thereafter leads a disappointed life,
and thereafter cannot teach as sue
cessfully as when she led Il life filled
with hope.
1t may amaze, even stupefy anu
otherwise flabbcrgast DR.. Scott to
learn that personally we do not agree
with his views in this matter. We
trust, however, that our taking issue

spair, because we have i'll the past

suits have followed.
That a woman who after thirty

MANS NAILS GROW
II FEET IN 20 YEARS.
Those on Middle Finger More
Rapid Than Those of First and
Third.

A scientist has estimated that in
lifetime of seventy years man grows
nails which, if it were possible to
preserve them uncut, would reach the
length of seven feet nine inches.
Exactly on what argument this
statement is based it is hard to say,
for a little observation Will show
that during the greater portion Of a
mans life he cuts his nails on an
average of once a week, and at each
pairing removes q sixteenth OF an
inch, or the equivalent OF quarter
Of an inch per month, working out at
three inches a year.
This would give him growth OF
seven feet six inches during the thirty
wears he lives between twenty and
fifty, says the St. Louis Post-Dis-
patch. In the other forty years, when
tho growth is less rapid, he would
certainly produce four feet of nails,
so that eleven feet is better average
for the nail producing capacity of a
man.
1t should be noted, however, that
the growth of the nails on the right
hand is, in most people, more rapid
than of those on the left hand, and 1t
may be that the scientists in question
has based his argument on the slower
growth of the left hand nails.
Another curious point IS that the
rate of growth of the nails depends
directly on the l1Tgth of the finger;
thus, the nails en- the two middle
fingers of men grow more rapidly
than those on the first and third
fingers, respectively, AVID these in
turn are mere speedy in the growth
than those on the little fingers.

WISE WORDS.

The pleasure you buy spoils before
jSthe bills for it come in.
-. The nice thing about being a sinner
is it's never a lonesome job.
It's never necessary for woman
to appear girlish unless she's past
thirty and not yet married.
You can always convince a woman
what good man you are by appre-
eiatins what a fine character she has.
When one girl wants to puzzle a
lot of them she acts natural, and they
can't make it out to save their wits.
You can always forgive an ancestor
how he got his money when 1t comes
to you.
Being in love is being not quite
insane enough to go into an asylum.
There's a heap of fun in Just let
ting other people spend their money
trying to buy it.
An honest man gets so puffed up
about it he might be more agreeable
If he stole something.
> A man can save a lot of money by
having so many bad habits he can't
afford to get married.
A woman calls 1t being busy when
somebody is going to visit her for
day next week.
The more people think they under
stand others the less they seem to
understand themselves.
- Every woman thinks she could be
a great actress if she had the right
Kind OF hair for 1t.
Men are so naturally conceited
about their financial ability they will
take pride in spending more than
they make.
You imagine you get pleasure out
of having q thing because other peo-
Pile imagine they suffer pain out of
not having it.
1t takes a woman to be Jealous
even when she doesn't care.
- good way to get money ia to
MAKE people think you have 1t al
ready.

KEEP THE SCH00tH0lSE
OPEN

Why should our schools be closed
during the summer?
Is 1T to give the teachers a vaca-
ton? They certainly need it, but
could not substitutes be found? Is 1t
for the sake of economy? What
worse economy is there than that
which provided conditions which not
only lead to the tremendous expense
Of courts and reformatorfes, but to
the infinitely greater cost of lives
that have been ruined through that
mischief which Satan finds for idle
hands?
Boys and girls might be injured
by a twelvemonth's application to
books? There are other things than
books in our education. The vacation
school should teach something else
than winter school.
Why not teach a trade? Or play?
At any rate boys and girls ought to
be kept off the street. And 1t makes
no difference whether the street Is
in the city or in the small town.
A great many of us think that the
Small ION IL SLlS0I II Old oS1uOk aIlA1AS
as the city street.
Notwithstanding all our talk about
the new education. our schools still
can be improved. But the reform
that Is needed Is not so much in the
curriculum as in the conception of
the very purpose of school. 1t is all
very we'll to discuss "Frills' and the
Three RS" but let us open our
eyes to something more fundamental.
The welfare of the community de-
mands training in self-restraint and
plain decency.
When that happy day for which
we look dawns and we all come to
our senses, we shall see that the
duty of the State is not to teach boys
and girls for nine months in the
year and then turn them loose for
three months; we shall see to it that
If fathers and mothers forsake their
children then the State shall take
them up-into school, not Jail. II
it is the duty of the school to keep
growing children from bad influences

Cured Rheum atism.

The Light of Faith.

Faith is truly light in the soul
but it is a light which only shines
upon duties, and not upon results OF
events. 1t tells us what is now to be
done, but it does not tell US what Is
to follow, and accordingly it guides
us but a single step at time, and
when we take that step under the
guidance of faith, we advance directly
into a land of surrounding shadows
and darkness. Like the patriarch
Abraham, we go, not knowing withel
we go, but only that God is with US
In mans darkness. we nevertheless
walk and live in Gods light. A way
of living blessed and glorious, how
ever mysterious it may be to human
vision. For "the Lord God will en-
tighten our darkness"
