p writer in the Boston Globe says of
Medfield, Mass, town 258 wears old:

MeQHelQ, Mass, town GoS years Old:
Medfeld's streets are models for other
towns to copy. They are macadamized
and the sides of them are lined with
shade trees. Civic pride appears here to
have reached high stage of develop
ment, for everybody in the village seems
to vie with his neighbor in keeping his
property tidied up, and the lawn in front
of every house, and even in front of the
few factories, is kept in condition of
perfect trim, the grass cropped and the
shrubbery trained in the way it should
grow. Whether it is lawn Of 20 square
feet in front Of modest cottage, or acres
surrounding an imposing residence, it
may be depended upon that the sur
roundings will not only be kept in SAM
tary but in an attractive condition.
With this condition existing it is not
surprising to learn that the cleanliness
and wholesoneness of the town has at
tracted to it numerous wealthy families
from Boston, and it is to be inferred that
the new Corners were welcomed and not
turned away by prohibitory prices on
real estate.

section of the shore would seem to be
protected by the steamboat wharf from
easterly and southeasterly storms, this
condition must be due, in part at
least, to the wash from the incoming
and outgoing Boston boats. South of the
steamboat wharf for some distance the
shore is protected by lodges of slate
rock, but even these show signs of the
power of the incoming surges.
We hope that every one interested in
good roads read the summary of bull
letin from the State highway department
in last weeks Journal on country roads,
and for the benefit of those who did not,
and to further impress the salient points
on those who did read the article, we
shall recall some of them. By country
roads is meant all roads that are not
paved, which includes the roads of this
city as we'll as of the towns. The bull
letin says: ''Sods and vegetable matter
should not be used upon the surface of
any road, unless it be sand" What fol-
lows is so important that it is we'll worth
repeating:
"In repairing roads by use of the road
machine all sods brought to the center OF
the road from the shoulders and sides
should be raked out and carried away.
The old worn out material, too, that has
been washed from the center or surface
of the road upon the shoulders and into
the bitches is not fit to surface or grade
a good road with; properly it should be
scraped up and hauled away and put on
the slope of some embankment. There
is more or less manure in the road wash
ings and it will be good fertilizer to use
whenever it is desired to encourage the
growth of sods to prevent washing of
slopes.
Bringing this worn out dust and dirt
upon the center of road and leaving 1t
seems to us to be about on parallel with
the housewife sweeping all dust and dirt
from the corners and edges of room in
to the center of the floor and leaving it
to be scattered and tracked over the
room again. There is not householder
in the State of Maine who would counte-
nance that kind of house cleaning. We
hope public sentiment will at no very
distant day denounce this system OF road
repairing, which we believe is too preva-
ent.
"More new material drawn upon the
roads in wagons is what is needed and
less dependence on road machine work.
The latter is all right to grade and shape
roads with, and keep them shaped, but
as ordinarily used it simply puts upon
the road year after year material that is
more or less worn out.
when bitches are cleaned out, the
mud taken from them should be cast to
The back side of the ditch or loaded into
wagons and carried away. 1t is detri-
ment to the road surface and if put upon
it will only wash back into the ditch.
"When rocks are raked out of the road
they should be gathered up and hauled
away. Too often they are left beside
the rut where passing travel works them
back into the road or into the ditch only
to be handled over again. They should
be deposited in piles outside the travelled
way, but upon the road location, and
later used in drainage work.

PREPARE FOR TESTS
OF NEW l4-IN. GUNS

WASHINGTON. Nov. 9.-within the
next few days the Government gun shop
at the navy yard here will receive one Of
the new fourteen-inch guns from the Mid
vale Steel Company for finishing. The gun
will probably be tested out at Indian
Head sometime in January.
The result OF this test may have con-
siderable effect on naval armament in the
future, and particularly on the design OF
the new batueships which Congress will
authorize at the coming session.
If the fourteen-inch gun proves prac-
ticable. and it is decided to supersede
the twelve-inch ones now on battleships.
the question will come up as to whether
there shall be ten or twelve guns OF that
caliber. II the smaller number is decided
upon, the displacement OF the battleships
will probably remain at 5000 tons; but ii
the larger number is deterined upon. the
size will probably be increased to $4,000
tons.

HOUSEHOLD HINTS

A housewife with a regard for dust

soft varnish and paint brushes
So equipped she need not fear dust
will disgrace her by sticking in the
corners of holdings, in the carvings of
furniture, and along the edges OF mir
rors.
The scraps OF soap left from house
hold and toilet purposes need not be
wasted. The former may be used to
the tiniest piece in the soap shaker for
tho dishpan, while the latter can be
bailed down TO a jelly with a little
water and kept for shampooing mix
lures.
Many persons do not know that soda
exterminates germs, so be sure 10 keep

and to wash out milk bottles and wipe
out shelves Of the refrigerator.
While a refrigerator need not be so
carefully watched in cold weather as in
summer, it should always be washed
out twice a week, preferably before
fresh marketing is put in 1t. Remove
shelves and scrub the walls with
strong soapsuds in which has been
plenty Cf soda. The shelves can be

WASHINGTON'S
HEAD ON NEW NICKEL

PHILADELPHIA, Nov. 9.-It is learned
on good authority, that dies have been
prepared by the engravers OF the United
States Mint in this city for a proposed
United States fve-cent piece bearing the
head Of George Washington, to take the
place OF the niclSels now in circulation.
It cannot be said yet whether the Gov
ernment will adopt this coin or not Many
hundred dies have been made for coins
never adopted, but If this portrait coin
follows the new Lincoln penny It will be
the first coin in actual authorized circu-
lation to carry the head OF Washington.
Yet several pattern coins bearing It have
been circulated.
Washington himself refused to allow
such coin to be issued during his life
time. He said IL was a ''monarchica1'
custom. not fitting in a republic.
Yet his head has adorned pattern coins
issued in small numbers. but never adopt
ed officially since 17S3, when some 5000
70 10000 by a weli-known designer named
Wyon were struck of. As late as 1868 a
pattern for a two-cent piece bearing his
head was made. and in 1866 a series Of
pattern five-cent pieces with his head
upon them was designed, but never cir
culated.
This particular coin has been designed
either by Engraver Morgan or Barber. Of
the mint Specimens to be struck on soon
will be submitted to the Treasury Depart
ment in Washington. The adoption OF the
coin rests with the Treasury Department.

PLAN TO DISPOSE
OF GARBAGE PILE

A young woman who lives in coun-
try home where there is surface drain
age and a close flowing stream has
hit upon an easy and convenient plan
to dispose Of garbage.
A few feet away from her kitchen
door. she made a circle Of stones, and
on 1t set aportion Of sheet iron pipe
from a discarded furnace. This was
shortened and had old stove lids fast
ened into Il at the top and bottom
while a large opening was cut the
length of one side.
A quarter OF the way up an iron
grating was fitted into the pipe to hold
the garbage to be burned. Underneath
was started a wood fire. and IL took
but a short time after each meal TO get
rid of all refuse.
If one has a stovepipe to utilize an
oven could be made on the order of a
cake box with doors. This should be
made of sheet iron and have one in
stead of two shelves or open grating.
TIE door may be omitted, reducing the
cost If closed, small holes should be
made in top for escaping smoke.

Even though a few exclusive Paris
houses have sent over half-length
coats, most women are decided upon
long ones for the winter. OF such a
remarkable length are most of the new
coats, intended for wearing as part Of
coat and skirt costumes, that only a
few inches Of the skirt will remain
visible, the more so since the new
skirts for the winter. even where tall
or-made gowns are concerned. are be-
ing arranged in a very short and sem
sble length for walking.
While this is distinctly something TO
the good, so far as the skirts are con-
cerred. it is TO be hoped that the coats
will not continue TO descend, for the
long redingotes, graceful though they
may be IN theory and in pictures, are
by no means comfortable for winter
wear in bad weather Their length
makes il quite impossible for the wear
