KoLA NUT sUPERsTIT1oNs.
Used BY African Tribes as q Pledge
Of Friendship.

T rom the CnfcaGo news.
In the parts OF Africa where it grows
the kola nut is much esteemed by the ma
tives on account of its stimulating and
other properties. and II occupies large
place in African legends. as well as in
ceremonies and cults. Those tribes have
been aware of it's power as stimulant
from time immemoriaL and II Is also
used as a remedy for marsh fever and
many other maladies. NJ. P. Guerin Oh
the Paris College OF Pharmacy brings out
a number of curious customs In which the
kola nut figures. 1t Is used as a pledge
of friendship or affection. as an Offering
to fetch men. and also as money or Tor
paying tribute. In the Bambara and
other regions a young man sends pas
ket of white and red kola nuts TO the
father of a young woman whom he de-
sires to marry. II the father consents ne
keeps all the nuts. but if not. he keeps
the white ones and returns the red
The kola tree Is much respected NJ
Chevalier says that he wished 10 secure
some very fine flowers from kola tree
growing in a small village. but the chief
did not dare to allow him before assem-
bling some of the old men and other pr,n-
cipal persons, and even then none OF them
would pluck the flowers. They allowed
him to do so. but said that this would
bring him bad luck. Among the Bagas a
tree is planted at each birth or notable
occa sion. In the Dorugu region. when
chief goes through the ceremony OF nam
ing his child he plants kola tree, and
this afterward belongs to the child.
In the whole of the Soudan region the
kola nut is a symbol of friendship, and
as il Is an article of luxury the act of
offering it as gift is taken as mark
of the wealth OF the giver. Eating the
kola nut together is a sign of friendship.
and 1t would he a great offense to refuse
to do this Treaties. vows or compacts
are made binding in the same way.

Social Centers in Wisconsin.
From the Chicago Record Herald.


Wisconsin has a new law whereby a
city or a town may levy special tax
for the support Of social center work In
connection with its schools. At the cleo
ton of April the voters of Milwaukee
decided by a large majority to tax them
selves $685. 900 for this purpose. a dozen
or more schoolhouses in the city are now
used as neighborhood schoolhouses, and
three school buildings have been used for
other social and recreational activities
The new tax levy is for the extension Of
the work.
Commenting on this vote and the re-
election OF Mayor Howes in Prescott, Wis.
the mayor having been active in or
in his city-La Follette's Weekly says:
"Forty-five places in Wisconsin have be-
gun the movement for community organi
zation and conscious social center devel
opment. The result of the popular in
dorsement of this movement expressed
at the ballot box April > I'm these two
communities at the opposite sides Of the
state, will strengthen the hearts of the
school boards in the cities and towns be-
tween. who have wanted proof that social
center development Is popular with the
electors. 1t will inevitably result in has
tening the appointment in every town I'm
Wisconsin OF q man who, as associate to
the superintendent Of schools, will serve
as civic secretary, social center organ
izer and recreational leader. which is the
practical next step in Wisconsin,
What is good for Wisconsin is good for
other states. In cities and in the country
alike schoolhouses have been used sue
cessfuily as social centers. Such use
should find increasing favor until II be-
comes common throughout the United
States.

MARYLAND Road Construction.
From the Baltimore Sun.

From the Baltimore Sun.
The criticism Of the roads constructed
by the state roads commission which Is
most frequently heard is that they are
too expensive-that Is to say. the resi-
dents Of given county would prefer, say.
ten miles OF second-class roads to FIVE
miles of first-class roads. If the more
expensive roads were proportionately
more durable than the cheaper roads
there would be less room for criticism.
But ii seems that the most expensive
stone roads that have been constructed
are torn up by the automobiles as rap
idly as the less expensive, unless. indeed.
they are kept oiled.
Much of the large expense of road max
ing in this state is due to the policy OF
reducing grades. This Is a wise policy.
1t is folly to compel teams to draw heavy
loads over steep hills for years to come
when the grade can be reduced by rea-
sonable expenditure or avoided altogether
by a reasonable detour. That Is the pol
Icy of modern railroad builders. The first
cost of making railroad is scarcely con-
sidered against the continued cost of OPP
Grating over a heavy grade. Therefore
the policy of the state roads commission
in grading, even when the cost has been
large, is wise one.
But in view Of the fact Of the helpless
ness of road builders in dealing with the
automobile problem 1t may well be doubt
ed whether the present expensive surfac-
ing Is justified. In western Maryland,
where stone is abundant. the old turnpike
roads have been made at cost of from
s., 500 to 5000 per mile. But this in
cluded neither grading nor rolling. And
vet those roads served an excellent pur-
pose and some of them have been famous
as good roads.
For the use of teams and for persons
riding on horseback the clay road. If it is
reasonably smooth. is greatly preferred
to the stone road because it Is easier on
the horses feet. In constructing the turn
pike roads 1t was considered good policy
to have a dirt" or clay track alongside
the stone track, and this clay track
would be used for perhaps nine months In
the year, saving wear and tear on the
stone surface This would enable the
roadmakers to reduce the width of the
stone track, as much of the travel would
take to the side road. Automobiles pre-
fer the stone road. and that would give
teams greater safety on the side tracks.
In the winter, when the teams take to the
stone track, the number Of automobiles is
less.

Muddling Through.
from the London Chronicle.

rom the london Chronicle.
The phrase crystailizing British capacity
for "muddlng through would appear to
be very much older than the Boer war.
which gave it modern currency. The late
Mr.. Justin Mccarthy has recorded a
scene in the office Of the Morning Star
during the progress OF the American civil
war He was editor and Mr. John Bright
a director. "A visitor who sided with
the south was laying down this law to
Bright: First. that the north could not
win; second, that. if by any chance it did
it would be ruined by the struggle. Now
what do you say to that he demanded
of Bright Well, replied Bright, all l
can say is that 1 fancy the north will
muddle along somehow
