WORK COMMENCED.

| Editor lur CuEoNIcLE
10 those interested in building
the road from Camden to Big
Sandy, ] wish to advise that our
organization has been perfected
and work will begin Mt the Camden
corporation line ON Wednesday,
August 9. We have overseers for
the first three miles of the road,
and will begin work on all sections
the same day.
Those who have subscribed work
and all others who will help will
please come on and lets put in our
work at once, SO our overseers will
not be kept in waiting; those who
subscribed money will please pay
same over TO the solicitor taking
their subscription or to W. ID.
Cooper, secretary, SO that same
may be applied to road.
We suggest that the solicitors
continue their work. There are
some who have not subscribed aud
some who have who will be glad to
give more when they realize that
this is one Of the most important
roads in the county to Camden.
We hope that every property
holder on said road will be liberal
minded and generous enough to
give at least 80 feet right of way.
Now for strong pull, a long pull
and pull altogether. There is
no time to set back on the backing
straps. We will grade all we can,
gravel all we can, and use split log
drag on all we can not grade.
Truly yours,
A. n. PREssoN,
General Supervisor.

CARE OF CARNATIONS.

The perpetual Towering carna-
tons which are rooted must be pot
ted up into small pots in light, sandy
soil. For a few days after potting
they must be kept close till they have
recovered from the shift; then grad
ually inure them to more airy con-
ditions, but do not expose them to
cold drafts. When they have at
tanned height of six or seven inches
pinch out the points Of the plants to
form a bushy habit. Pot them on
into five-inch pots before the roots
become pot bound. They must even
tually be placed into seven-inch pots,
in which size they will flower. The
shoots will again require to be
stopped" when they have obtained
a suitable length, unless the plants
are very late, when one stopping will
suffice.-Garden.

HAD ONE GREAT AMBITION
oliver Herford, the Humorist, Re-
buked by Poetess for Causing
People to Laugh.

Acton Davies, the dramatic critic,
tells a story of Oliver Herford, the
humorist. Herford never had a Sc
rious thought in his life. As a baby,
feeling the prick of pin which fast
ened his little bundle together, he
used to laugh instead of cry about it.
"IIerford sat next TO a soulful poet
ess at dinner one night" Davies re-
lates, "and that dreamy one turned
her sad eyes upon him. Have you
no other ambition, Mr.. HEREFORD, she
demanded, than to force people to
degrade themselves by laughter?'
"Yes, HEREFORD had an ambition. A
whale of an ambition. Some day he
hoped to crafty it. The woman
rested her elbows on the table and
propped her face in her long, sad
hands, and glowed into Mr.. Her.
ford's eyes. ooh, Mr.. Herford,' she
said, oliver! Tell me about it. q

usually known as a charivari, which is
quite a fancy name and suggests rose

Ancient Methods Of Securing Pure Food

Anent the raging wiley-AIcCabe argu-
ment someone has dug up the following In
teresting account OF old German methods
OF enforcing pure food laws:
In Nuremberg everything was officially
inspected and the penalties were such that
records OF second offsnses do not exist
In 1444 one man was burned alive, using as
the fuel his Adulterated saffron. To make
the nonadulteration OF saffron more effec-
tive. the following year two men and one
woman were burned alive with their adul-
terated products Whether this was max
ing the punishment tit the crime" may be
questioned, but Il certainly attained the
desired object OF preventing a second Of
tense by the parties involved.
In Augsburg offending bakers, short
weight or impure flour. were put into a
casket, hung on a long pole and ducked into
muddy pool. No. special attempt was
made 20 have the mud especially soft. and
the final result was generally fatali At
least no record shows that any baker was
punished a second timA When In doubt
as to the exact person guilty OF the offense,
the whole family. including employees. were
dueked.
At Bierberioh on the Rhine in l4S2 a sus-
pected falsifier OF wine was made 20 drink
six quarts OF his own wine, and as he died
from the effects. the adulteration was con-
sidered proven. The time limit OF the drink
ing was a very short one; from the measer
description OF the proceedings I would
Judge not much over a minute or two.
In many other localities during the middle
