lions of dollars will be an Insurance
The Russian Holy Synod and its
clergy have finally decided to with
draw their opposition to the intro
duction of the new style. AS every
one knows. the Russian calendar Is
thirteen days behind the rest of the
world The new style now to be
adopted was introduced by Pope Gre
cory XIII in 1882, when the Pope
simply suppressed ten days, which
have now grown To thirteen. The
objection hitherto of the Russian
clergy has been that by adding thir.
teen days to their date they blot out
thirteen days, on each of which some
particular saint must be honored
This objection will now be overcome
by very ingenious arrangement. In
every month OF next year one parti-
cular day will be appointed which is
TO be reckoned as'two days. For en-
ample. ut ~ o'clock on the night OF
January lst January I'd begins. and
lasts until the same time of the next
following night. This process will
he continued for thirteen months. at
the end of which the dates for East
ern and Western Europe will be the
same. and each saint will have had
a day.

a recent investigation made by the
Office Of Public Roads shows that
Kentucky now stands first among all
the States in the total mileage Of
roads surfaced with stone. fourth in
the total mileage of macadam roads,
and eighth in the percentage IF i'm
proved roads. The improved roads
have been taken as those surfaced
with stone, gravel and other mater
ials more or less permanent. For
the year 1904 Kentucky ranks fif-
teenth among the States in total eX-
penditures, seventeenth in total cash
expenditures. and. during that year,
thirteen States appropriated money
from their State treasures TO aid in
the construction of roads. but Ken
lucky made no such appropriation.
Statistics compiled for the same year
show that Kentucky had 57.137 miles
OF public road, of which sixteen and
six-tenths per cent. had been inn

Highway Fences.

Whsl time, labor and money have
been expended upon the beds of coun-
try roads and highways there is the
hope of compensation in the way Of
Improvement.
If the farmer west of the Missis-
sippi is blessed with a good road lead
ing to and from his farm, why should
not he pay some attention to the
roadside? In most cases the roadside
Is the seeding ground of the noxious
weeds with which he holds an annual
combat in his fields.
There are instances where he has
an excuse. A rank growth OF weeds
and briars may be more pleasing to
look at than the fence they hide;
but where land is worth $50 or more
per acre, he forfeits that excuse
A good, well constructed fence
along the highway will arouse a GER
tain amount of pride which acts as
an incentive to get busy with the
scythe and AK and clean up.
Many county supervisors and men,
bers of Iowa Good Roads Associa-
tion are advocating the building OF a
good highway fence-one which will
be an effectual guard against tres
pass. and add beauty TO the land
sCape as the real solution of the clean
roadside problem.-Good Roads Mag

Lost in the Woods.

Let us now take the case OF a man
lost in the woods, in winter storm,
twenty-five miles from the nearest rail-
road or travelled road Of any kind. In
the first place how does he know that
he is lost? Because, as soon as he
misses his bearings, he will invari-
ably begin travelling in a circle, and
eventually recross his tracks. All
people naturally step farther with one
foot than with the other. Some circle
to the right, others to the left, or
without direction, all describe a cir
Gle.
1t is storming, so that the lost man
cannot find his direction by the sun.
Theoretically, there are a great many
ways of finding direction in the woods
moss grows thickest on the north
side of a tree, branches are heaviest on
the south side. Norway pines lean
toward the east, etc, but these things
depend so much upon surrounding
conditions, such as light and shade.
moisture and dryness, or the slope or
the ground, that unless one is versed
in woodcraft they will only serve to
confuse him. So let him stop right
where he is and wait for the sun or
stars, the only positive means OF de-
termining direction without a COM
pass.-Outing Magazine.

Advertising Value of Roads.

Advertising has become one OF the
most important branches of business.
1t may be termed the dynamo of COM
merce. 1t gives publicity TO what
one has to sell and is intended TO at
tract purchasers. Frcm the newsboy
who yells Special extra" in the
streets to the broker who offers gilt
edged" securities in the financial coll
umns of the morning newspaper, ev-
cry one attempting TO do business ad-
vertises, with the possible exception
of the farmer.
Municipal advertising is a recog-
nized division of the profession, and
there are bureaus which make a spe-
cialty OF giving publicity TO the adj
vantages offered by this or that city
in the way of business opportunity,
health, culture, recreation, ETC.. to in
duce people to their particular local
tiles is one of the chief Offices OF
boards of trade.
At a recent meeting OF the White
Mountain IN. H. Board of Trade the
question Of good roads was discussed
from several standpoints. Among
other speakers was c. e. Farnsworth,
advertising manager of the Boston
and Maine Railroad, who took his
specially as the subject of his re-
marks and spoke of the benefits OF
advertising for a community or a Sec
ton. Some Of his suggestions are
worthy of earnest consideration by
the dwellers of country districts.
Il think you will all agree" said
the speaker, that the public do not
go to the Adirondacks or the White
Mountains because of the mere fact
that the railroads operate to these
points" Hotels, it was declared, are
necessary to induce guests, while it
is equally true that guests are essen
tial TO the support of hotels.
1T has now become a necessity to
steadily create the desire among the
public TO travel. to see. to visit. to OBJ
tain recreation, rest and entertain-
ment, which are all within the vaca-
tion idea, which is no longer a fad,
but is firmly established as one Of
the necessities among all classes
Mr.. Farnsworth asserted. The patrons
and guests Of hotels must not be con-
fined, however, to piazzas and door
yards when seeking recreation in the
country.

was spare and angular. with long,
wrinkled face surmounted by a scant
fun of pale, frizzled hair. Her mouth
slanted upward at one corner. giving
her an expression unjustly attributed
to coquetry. when in reality IL was
due to an innocent and pardonable

Paris,-Although general trade
conditions in France, as in other
European countries, suffered in 1908,
largely because of the reduction in
American demand, following the
financial crisis, figures submitted by
M. Leroy Beaulieu and other statis-
ticians at the end of the year regard
ing the wealth of the French people
demonstrate the imposing strength
OF Frances financial position and her
right to the title of "the worlds
banker" Frances fortune is grow
ing steadily, as the result OF an an
nual saving of 81 100000, 900, much
of which must seek investment
abroad.
NJ. Leroy Beaulieu's figures show
that France now receives $360,000,-
900 as an annual income from for
eign holdings, which are principally
government stocks, the amount hav-
ing been almost doubled in the last
fifteen years. He estimates the pres

27 by fire, 3 by dynamite and l by

Embezzlements,f forgeries and bank
wreckings, amounting to $13, 55,-
53S, are in excess of those Of last
year. Ten bank presidents, twenty
eight cashiers, eleven bank clerks
and four brokers have made way with
$40, ,085.472, while agents, forgers,
postmasters, public officials, loan as
sociation managers and ordinary
clerks combined have stolen only
about s3,500,0OO. Some slight moral
compensation was made on the part
of thirty of these fifty-two financiers,
who committed suicide.
A noticeable feature Of this record
is the steady increase of murder by
highwaymen and thugs, being 101
more than in 1907.
That more care has been exercised
in hunting is shown by the decrease
in casualties. During the hunting
season proper 70 persons were killed
and 81 injured, and out of season
109 killed and 35 injured, a total Of
1856 killed and 1876 injured, as COM
pared with 191 killed and 155 in

Chlcago.-The crime and casualty
records for 1908, as collected by the
Chicago Tribune in its annual sum
mary, show some interesting phases.
Probably the most striking feature
is the steady increase in the number
Of suicides and the great percentage
OF these that are traceable to the
business depression and embarrass-
ments Of the year. Self-destruction
due to these causes grew fivefold over
the record of the year before, despite
the fact that the financial squeeze be-
gan early in the fall of 1907. AS a
weapon of self-destruction the revol-
yer gained greatly in favor.
EmbeZZlements involved a larger
total than in 1907, and a peculiar
phase of this record is that more than
two-thirds of this crime, figured on a
monetary basis, is chalked up against
bank officials and employees. The re-
form wave seems to have had a good
effect on public officials.
The homicide record-deaths of
all kinds by personal violence--in-
creased over 1907. but fell short of
that of the previous year. The death
toll for holiday sports aggregated
368 deaths and $3.50 injuries.
The number of suicides for 1908
was 1882 as reported in the public
press. The following list shows the
steady increase of self-murder: 1899,
5340; 1900, 6735; 1901, 7245;
1902, S291; 1903, S597; 1904, 924O;
1905, 99S2; 1906, 1925; 1907, TO-
1872. and 1908, 1882.
The causes of these suicides are
stated as follows, the classification,
as in the case of homicides. being a
general one: Dependency, 531S; un-
known, 1541; insanity. SO; domes-
tic infelicity. IT'S; i'll health, 71S:
business losses, 632; liquor, $50, and
disappointed in love, 519.

remaining cases 2735 died by poison,
