MODEL PENNSYLVANIA ROAD

A model road is the IIummelstOwn

the wintergreen counteracts the odOr

effect of the mixture is its disintecting

the mixture is ~ cents a square yard.

The road is never muddy, and, unlike

on it at all, as the mixture will not

TELLS OF GREAT STATESMEN
AGED Member Of British Parliament

In his eghty-third year Sir Francis

was born in 1927. which he represent
ed as a conservative first in 1S57-59,
and again from 1885 to the present
dav heard the ramon with sincere re-
great and proposed to send a deputa'
ton to London to ask its veteran
townsman to reconsider his decision.
But Sir Francis is firm, asking his
friends not to send a deputation. Dig

a perfect master of several subjects,
he has been for a generation type OF
the Woodworking private member.
THE man who stays too long in
parliament makes mistake he
said. in an interview. "Palmerston,
my first premier and Gladstone both
stayed too long Gladstone quite lost
his balance toward the end, Even
Lord Morley cannot defend all Glad
stone did in later years.
The house once had "a good laugh
at Gladstone. He was speaking with
contempt of Disraeli's followers and
stopped for a word to describe them.
Satellites suggested Disraeli quietly,
1t was obviously the word Gladstone
wanted. and the house roared with
pleasure, while Gladstone was plainly
upset.
IL remember another occasion when
Disraeli took the sting out of an at
tack by Gladstone The latter had
been speaking in his romping way,
throwing his arms about and declaim-
ing vigorously. Disraeli rose from the
other side of the table and said with
apparent seriousness: While the
right honorable gentleman was speak
ing | was glad to feel that there was

In black and white that is nothing, but
Disraeli's manner delighted the house.

Wives and Business.

II is not only the husband who is
helped by his wite's intelligent inter
est in and understanding of his bust
ness problems. She may sometime
find that this knowledge is of the
greatest benefit TO herself. 1t may
save her and her children from loss
and poverty If she is left a widow. It
happens far too often that through
sheer ignorance of business methods
widows dissipate their property, when
a little acquaintance with legal and
commercial processes would have
made them safe, Women are not al
ways TO blame for this ignorance, for
men do not invariably show willing
ness to inform their wives of business
details.

The periodical rise and fall of the
waters of the ocean and its continents
are due to the attraction of the moon
or sun. When the water is rising it
is termed food tide when falling
ebb tide. At the time of the new
moon and full moon the flood tides
rise higher, and the fall of the ebb
ido is greater than at other times.
These tides are called spring tides.
But when the moon is at her first,
Or last quarter, or at the time OF quad

average height and are called neap
tides from the Anglo Saxon 'nep,'
signifying narrow, contracted low.
