HOTSE CLEANING.

House cleaning is now in full swing,
and it behooves mere man to be con
scious of his limitations, and accept
with meek and chastened spirit the
operations of domestic forces against
which he wars in vain.
The fact that he has no eye for
dirt and that he would never of him.
self discover accumulations of dust
about his home, was once to him the
source of much congratulation. But
in view of our present knowledge con-
corning the athletic and gamy mi.
crobs, this complacency is most in.
judicious. Better let the purging
forces go on, and not interfere with
the drastic work of broom or mop
Mr.. Man, if you want to save the
doctors bill.
AS for womankind, however, let her
beware how she interferes with the
desk and bureau drawers, where lies
intrenched the down trodden male for
a last ditch fight.

up the authenticity of the letter which

The cause of Ballinger has been
materially strengthened by this lat
est letter of the president, in which
lie points out that he did not exon
crate the secretary until he had veiy
extensively and carefully weighed
the evidence, and the administration
itself comes out of a situation which

The drag does the best work when

Second. Obtaining such a road sur

Samuel Hin. Il son.ln-law OF James

nate and the president OF the Amerl.
can Road Builders association. takes
practical view OF the roadmnking
art He asserts II needs trained men
and advocates the establishment OF
road building chairs In all the i'm
portant colleges OF the United States
and especially at West Point
He has succeeded In impresslng this
view upon some OF the institutions OF
learning OF the state OF Washington,
of which he Is n resident and 200
young men In that state are studying
the road building course this year.
Mr.. Hill declares that In five years
In consequence of the interest taken
by the local colleges in this matter and
the progressive attitude of the legisla-
ture, which devotes one-thlrd OF the
revenues OF the state to road building.
Washington will have the best system
OF roads in the United States.
Whether Washington, one OF the
youngest states OF the Union, will be
able in that time to outstrip all her
sister states in providing n modern
highway system may be open to ques-
ton. but there is sound sense in the
recommendation that system of cdu-
cation in practical road building shall
be established as prerequisite to the
construction OF general system Of
permanent highways in the United
States.
Much of the money heretofore devot-
ed to the construction OF roadways
that are lanes in dry weather and n
succession Of quagmires In wet has
previously been wasted. partly through
the ignorance of the roadmakers as to
what constituted n good road.
The first step toward putting an end
to this waste and entering upon sci
entific methods will be the training
Of lot of students in the art of max
ing roads.

Braddock, who lost his life in the un.
successful expedition against the
French at Fort Duquesne, has remain

of Fayette county have purchased a
tract of twenty-three acres surround
his grave, lying along the national
pike beyond Uniontown and this sum

British Ambassador Bryce and pre-
scented to the government as a national
park. Sooner or later faithful service

CONDITION OF A ROADWAY BEFORE USING
DRAG.
From Southern Good Roads Magazine
drag. That lies in making 1t too
heavy. 1t should be so light that one
man can easily lift it. Besides, light
drag responds more readily to various
methods of hitching and to the shift
ing of the position and weight of the
operator. both Of which are essential
considerations.
A dry red cedar log Is the best ma
terial for the drag. Red elm and wal
nut when thoroughly dried are excel
lent, and box elder. soft maple and even
willow are preferred to oak, hickory or
ash.
The log should be seven or eight
feet long and from ten to twelve
inches in diameter and carefully split
down the middle. The heaviest and
best slab should be selected for the
front The two slabs should be held
thirty inches apart by the stakes. A
strip of iron about three and a half
feet long. three or four inches wide
and one-fourth inch thick may be used
for the blade. This should be attach
ed to the front slab. A platform of
inch boards. held together by three
cleats, should be placed on the stakes
between the slabs. An ordinary trace
chain is strong enough to draw the
implement. provided the clevis Is not
fastened through link.
The successful operation Of a drag
involves two principles which,. when
thoroughly understood and intelligent
ly applied make road working with
this implement simple. The first con
Germs the length and position of the
hitch. while the second deals with the
position of the driver on the drag. For
ordinary purposes the snatch link or
cleviS should be fastened far enough
toward the blade end Of the chain to
force the unloaded drag to follow the
team at an angle of forty-ive degrees.
This will cause the earth to move
along the face OF the drag smoothly
and will give comparatively light draft
to the team. provided the driver rides
in the line of draft.
Usually two horses are enough to
pull q drag over an ordinary earth
road The team should be driven with
| one horse on either side Of the right

The citizens of the great republic
have no need to fear when the Pana
ma canal is finally completed and
open to the commerce of the world
that any foreign foe will ever gain
control of this great American water
way connecting the oceans. Plans
are fully completed for fortifying the
canal so that hostile fleets will give
the big ditch and its surrounding a
wide berth. The Pacific end of the
canal will be protected by fortified
tions placed on three small islands
off the coast and by battery on the
main land. The Atlantic end will be
protected by two Notifications on each
side of the channel. All these forti
fications will be provided with the
most powerful guns made and man
ned by the most expert gunners of the
coast artillery corps.

A Good Roads Mouannent.


We've had a good roads movement down
TO Pohick. on the crick.
We raised some ready cash fur what we
couldn't get on tick.
An. bein' n particular Job. we thought 1t
would be wise
To get some men of probity to come an
supervise.
An as a further guarantee 'gainst chances
OF neglect
We took another set OF men an told 'em
to inspect.
An these arrangements didn't seem jes'
what they ought to be
Till we'd secured some talent competent
to oversee.
There arose misunderstanding bout emol-
uments and rank,
But the payroll checks KEEP comm very
regular to the bank.
Somehow the highways didn't seem to
lose their ruts an Jumps,
An every time we went to town we had
to bump the bumps.
We found II hard to comprehend what
such delay could mean
In work so well inspected, supervised an
oVerseen
The only manual labor on this Job that
seemed so slow
Was done with great reluctance by a
small boy with a hoe.
The situation naturally shocked our civic
pride.
We called some meetin's, an the proper
people testified.
We got the overseers to tell exactly what
they knew
An heard from the inspectors an the SUI
pervisors too.
Then we drew up resolutions an deliv-
cred an address
To vindicate our efforts to uplift an 10
progress.
We have solved the difficulty, an our
hearts are full OF JOY
At seem discipline maintained. We fired
that no count boy.

tricts In the United States, especially
Florida. and in some sections of Eu-
rope such material is used with
great success. In these sections are
miles and miles of road that would be
almost impossible by reason of the
deep sand were it not for leaves.
Serviceable for this purpose are the
leaves of the long leaf pine. These
leaves which are much like straw in
appearance should be raked over the
sandy roadbed once year. say about
October.
The result is highway that gives
one the impression Of carpet, as nei-
ther the horses feet nor the wheels of
the vehicles make any noise.

During 1909 600 cases of infantile
paralysis were reported in Boston. In
many other localities it was alarming
ly prevalent. The medical scientists
connected with the Rockefeller insti

discover the exact character of the
disease and it's means OF communica
ton which is now much of mystery
in medicine. The country waits anx

The movent throughout the country
to supply a counter irritant on July
in the shape of huge parades and
other entertainments to compensate
the children for being deprived of the
priceless privilege of blowing their
eyes out and their fingers off with
giant crackers and toy pistols is al
together wise and desirable, but un
less each city and town council pass
es an ordinance prohibiting the sale
of dangerous fireworks, the parade
will be simply supplementary to the
regular program of manning, binding
and injecting which young America
usually INDUCES in on independence

The uprising in China is discourag.
ing to those who have worked for the
civilization and enlightment of the
people. Still it cannot be expected
nat mass of 400,000,000 people will
occupy a territory as extensive as
that of the United States and differing
among themselves as radically as do
the Latin nations of Spain, Portugal
France and Italy. Such an impene'
trable bulk is not readily electrified
even by the powerful batteries of mod
ern civilization. China is not ma
ton, as we speak of nations. 1t can
be compared only to India. Japan is
the only nation, in western sense

To the officers of the standing army
who were in service during the civil
war and waited long for their promo
tions in some instances, the rapidity
with which the veterans of the Span
ish war and Philippine insurrection
have been advanced, is quite amaz-
ing. One reason for this is that the
standing army has been much larger
since 1898 than it was following the
civil war, thus demanding more Off
GERS. Then, too President Lincoln
promoted large number of civilians
to higher ranks in the civil war which,
of course, is not being done now,
hence the rate of promotion is much
more rapid than formerly.

noon hour held the popular favor,
later the town people dined at l
o'clock, thus distinguishing them
selves from the country folks. For
many years the city jewellers consid-
cred the o'clock dinner the height
of fashion, but this too has passed.
Seven o'clock is preferable, 8 o'clock
much better form and those who ad-
vocate high living instead of high
thinking are agitating 8. Historical
research shows that scarcely an hour
of the day has not sometime, among
some people, been the popular din
ner hour.
