ART AT $500 A SQUARE INCH
That Price Has Been Demanded for
Drawing by the Famous
Leonardo da VlncI.

Let no one say that art does not
pay, when right in Fifth avenue it is
offered at 5000 the square inch, which
Is considerably more than the lots
that front in that exclusive thorough
fare would bring.
Stroll into the new galleries at
636, and in dingy little frame, with
several other patches, you will see a
drawing by Leonardo da Vinci in red
chalk. 1t is only 3A inches square,
and, taking out the trimming of its
upper corners, It contains ten square
inches.
The price is $4,000. 1t is entitled
THE Head of a Young Man." and,
small as 1t Is, the skill of the Italian
painter inspires every line of the tiny
masterpiece.
There is not far away small draw
ing by Rembrandt, which is there
through the courtesy of the new own
er, who bought it for $4,000 before
the dealers had a chance to hang 1t
and has permitted II to remain in the
show The drawing. partly in sepia
and here and there with touch OF
crayon, was intended as study for
a painting and is entitled Christ and
the Two Apostles" 1t is eight by ten
inches.-New York Herald.

GOOD EARTH ROADS,
Cheaper Than Other Highways
and Easy to Build.
GOOD DRAINAGE A NECESSITY

II lie One Of the Principal Points In
Making a Good Dirt Roadway-They
Are Preferred In Many Sections OF
the United States.
Long ago became convinced that II
we were TO have good roads in our day
and generation we must seek some 9th
er methods of doing the work and
some other material than macadam.
For while stone roads have and per
haps always will have an adaptation
for certain districts on account OF
the lack of facilities for good drain
age, which is one of the principal
points In the construction of earth
roads, or where the character Of the
soil is such that good earth roads can
not be made or for thoroughfares
where the travel is great and the valu-
alton high enough to stand the taxa
ton, the expense is far too great to
make them practicable for even a
small proportion Of all the roads.
1t must be remembered that no mat
ter how good a stone road is construct
ed there is a certain amount of wear
and tear each day and month and year.

CUSHION IN STRING EMBROIDERY.


beautiful landscapes are produced.
Country scenery, sea waves and the
picture of cottage were exhibited as
a result of the clever invention.
The artistic taste of the worker is
brought into full play, as the color OF
the work is necessarily grayish fawn,
and talent and sense of beauty are
needed to create the beautiful and
simple lines which harmonic with the
materials employed. A drawing is
traced on a foundation of linen in the
usual way, and after the linen has
been well stretched on a frame the
outlines already traced are followed
with different strings, which are
couched and stitched down, thickest
strings being used for the outside of
the large conventional designs, flowers.
leaves, etc, while the veining of the
leaves. the inside Of the flowers. and
the shading of the general design is
worked by the thinner strings. The
sewing necessary is simple satin stitch,
always remembering to cross the cord
at right angles and at regular inter
walls, although sometimes buttonhole
stitch is used by reason Of the firmer
edge it gives to the work.
Shading is obtained by using darker
tones of linen for the appliques and a
lighter shade of string for the outline
cord.
The cushion Illustrated represents a
charming pattern of umbelliferous
flowers, among which a spider has
woven it's web, the thin threads Of
which decorate lightly the middle Of
the design. leaving the important part
Of the work on the border.
The conventional scrolls OF the cor
ners are worked in applique, lighter
pieces of linen being cut into shape
and placed on the foundation. These
pieces Of linen are cut with very sharp
scissors, as the linen has a great tend
ency to fray. and secured In position on
the work by steel pins stuck through
in an upright position and then firmly
tackled
To cover the raw edge OF the linen
applique and to form a bold outline
couched fine cord is used, but when
doing work of this kind great care
must be taken in stitching this fine
cord so as to grip the raw edge of the
applique sufficiently to keep 1t down.
yet not enough to allow 1t to show I'M
der the cord outside the line of the de-
sign. The cord must be sewed down
with very fine linen thread of exactly
the same color, beginning from right
to left and from outside the outline In
ward, the cord being held In such a
way as to keep ii even.
The fine veining of the leaves In the
cushion is done In dark, fine string,
the stems Of the umbelliferous flowers
and the spider web in couched cord Of
different shades and thicknesses. A
charming touch Of novelty is given by
some OF the flowers worked In white
string. each little petal being done in
a French knot, the spider being en-
bfoidered In raised satin stitch.
The beauty of the new needlework
is that II can be applied as well to the
ornamentation Of heavy curtains and
other furniture draperies as to the
dainty and delicate trimmings used for
evening dresses.

A WONDERFUL SNAKE.
IL Defied the Attacks Of the Serpent
Killing Iquana.

Killing lguana.
Snakes on the pampas of South
America have many enemies. Burrow-
ing owls feed on them, and so do herons
and storks, which XIII them with a
blow or their javelin beaks. The ty-
rant bird picks up the young snake by
the tail and, flying to branch or
stone, uses the reptile as a fail until
It's life Is battered out. The large liz
ard of the pampas, the iglana, is IA
nous snake killer. 1t smites the snake
to death with It's powerful tail. Mr..
Hudson In his Naturalist In La Pla-
Ia" tells this story:
One dayFa friend OF mine was riding
out looking after his cattle. One end
Of his lasso was attached to his saddle.
and the remainder Of the forty foot
line was allowed to trail on the ground.
The rider noticed a large iguana lying
apparently asleep, and although he
rode within a few inches, 1t did not
stir. But no sooner had the rider pass
ed than the trailing lasso attracted
the lizards attention. 1t dashed after
the slowly moving rope and dealt it
succession Of violent blows with its
tail When the whole of the lasso,
several yards of which had been pound
ed in vain, had passed by, the iguana,
with uplifted head, gazed after 1t with
establishment Never had such won
derful snake crossed its path before.

tack the vital organs, causing catarrh OF
the bladder, brick-dust or sediment in
the urine, head ache, back ache, lame
back, dizziness, sleeplessness, nervous
ness, or the kidneys themselves break
down and waste away cell by cell.
Bladder troubles almost always result
from arrangement of the kidneys and
better health in that organ is obtained
quickest by proper treatment of the kid
neys. Swamp-Root corrects inability to
hold urine and scalding pain in passing it,
and overcomes that unpleasant necessity
of being compelled to go often through
the day, and to get up many times during
the night. The mild and immediate effect
of Swamp-Root, the great kidney remedy
is soon realized. 1t stands the highest be-
cause of its remarkable health restoring
properties. A trial will convince anyone.
Swamp-Root is pleasant to take and is
sold by all druggists in fifty-cent and
one-dollar size bottles. You may have
sample bottle and book that tells all
about it, both sent free by mail Address,

Msndina With Plaster.

In lieu of drawing the torn edge OF a
dress together with silk thread or even
with frayed threads of the material an
excellent plan lies in your medicine
chest.
That sounds a trihe startling to the
needle worker, but listen. A piece OF
court plaster will form good working
basis upon which a comparatively in
visible reparation can be made.
If the tear be on the plain width the
skirt should be laid upon table, the
edges pulled together and pinned down
nnd finally the strip Of court plaster
applied. A hot iron will press the
edges together, and the frayed threads
should be cut away as a finishing
touch.

A TYPICAL RURAL EARTH ROAD.

From Good Roads Magazine, New York.
A TYPICAL RURAL EARTH ROAD.
The amount Of this wear has beer
found by experience to be from one
fourth to one-half inch d year.
Others have figured it at only two
thirds of cubic yard per year.
We also have the experience Of city
street making. With all of their great
valuation to tax cities have found il
burdensome to keep up good paved OF
macadamized streets.
Mind, am not speaking against mac
adamized roads. They are, so far as
our knowledge of roadmaking now
goes, the one thing for thoroughfares
or other places where the valuation
will afford them without burdensome
taxation. And many of such places
throughout the United States prefer
the well built dirt road. What we
want is good roads now, and the ques-
ton Is how to make them with what
money is available, and | think 1t is
the wrong policy for a township that
has only from $1,000 TO $4,000 a year
to spend on roads to lay it all out on
mile or two of stone road when 10y
the right methods good earth roads
could be kept up over the whole town.
ship with the same money or less.
The solution Of this, am convinced.
Is in learning how to make earth roads.
believe that by proper methods Of
roadmaking the earth roads. especial
ly in places where the nature Of the
soil and the facilities for good drain
age are favorable, can be made and
kept as good as or better on the average
than the stone road and at but frac-
ton of the cost.
The nature of the soil and the facili
ties for drainage are so varied that IL
is impossible to lay down any one rule
or method Of roadmaldng. At some
places nothing but macadam will do.
but there are many. many other places
where the earth roads can be made
equally good. In fact, in places where
the soil is just right-tl1at Is, porous
enough to let the water through and
vet tenacious enough to pack and not
become dusty-and the drainage nat
urally good the earth road Is the very
hest that can be made. And most soils
will in a large degree take on the quail
tiles necessary for good roadmaking
a. ter good drainage is effected.-J- q.

KAFFIRS AS SERVANTS.
An American Woman's Housekeeping
Experiences In South Africa.

ENPCTlcUCtS VT 0OuhU fNIFtSds
81 never shall forget the names my
Katfir boys took" said woman who
kept house several years in South Az
RIGA, where her husband was manager
of a mine. when the Kaffir boys
come from the kraals no one ever
uses their native names. AS soon as
they are brought in contact with the
whites they take white name.
"This produces results which are not
lacking in humor. Among the house
boys Knife. Fork and Spoon were
common names. Table, Chair, Watch,
Carriage and Matchbox were other
names that | had I'm the house at vari-
Gus times. My butler rejoiced in the
stately appellation of New One. 1t
was when the slang phrase That's a
new one on me- was going about.
Zone of my house boys took the utill-
tartan name Of Ham and Eggs. The
Kafiirs are very fond of rice when
they learn to eat it among the whites,
and our stable boy thought he had
found the incest name in the world in
Rice. But the Kaffirs have the same
difficulty as the Chinese in pronounc-
ing the letter II, so poor Rice always
called himself Lice.
zone day the wife of one Of the car
penters sent down to the compound
for a new kitchen boy. The boy had
heard one expression In frequent use
at the mine. 1t struck him as eupho-
NOUS and pleasing, and when she
asked him what his name was he
calmly replied. Dam FOOL
"'Why, can't call you that, said
she, borri6ed. I'll call you Joseph
1.-THE boy few into rage. He said
Dam Fool was 'mmochlie gum a
nice name, and if he could not have
that name he would not work for her.
He was so stubborn about IL that she
had either to use the name or to send
him back TO the compound. Eventual
ly she kept him, and she told me that
it was a relief to her feelings some
times to have a kitchen boy answer
ing to just that name.
1.-The Kaf1rs are very initiative and
will cook a dish exactly as they have
been taught. But / never could quite
bring myself to eat Kaffir cooking. 1t
is apt to be weird.
81 had an English housekeeper who
did the cooking. Once she went down
to johannesburg for a weeks vacation,
and her head assistant, Candle, was
promoted to the position of chef. One
night for dinner he brought in a des-
sert of baked custard. 1t looked per-
fectly conventional, but when tasted
it / thought for a moment that was
in the clutches of a nightmare.
at seems that Candle had favored
the pudding with worcestershire sauce
instead of vanilla. Poor Candle was
quite crestfalleu at our reception of
the dish"

EDWARD CARYL'S SUDDEN DEATH
Over Exertion During Storm Way Grand Army
 Meetng-Lved but Fifteen Minutes After Reaching Home

Edward Caryl of No. 73 School street, well known as a painter in this city, although he had not worked at his trade for several years, passed away quite suddenly about 10.45 o'clock Fri day evening at his home. He had not been well for a week, but his death was probably hastened by overexertion in the snowstorm Friday evening.
 He was veteran of the Civil war and had started out shortly before s o'clock to attend the meeting of Sedg- wick post, No. 1, G. A. R.. to which he belonged, but was taken sick on Main street reaching home again about 10.30 o'clock, without going to the meeting. He passed away about fifteen minutes after reaching the house. His heart was not supposed to be weak, as he had recently been examined by a phy- sician and his heart pronounced nor nal.
 MT. Caryl was born near Lisbon, Portugal, Aug. 12, 1S41, and was one of twin sons, John A. and Edward Caryl, the children of John A. Caryl and Mathilda Williamson. who were natives of England. His twin brother John A., died suddenly of heart dis ease in this city on Aug. F, 1908. his
