Orange Cabe and Lemon Pie.

Here is q recipe for a Spanish dish
which l am sure some Of the housekeepers
will like: SPANISH BEANS.-One and q
half pounds brown Mexican beans Cook
half an hour in enough water to cover
them Put into a frying pan a good cup
meat drippings or lard and when hot slice
into it two medium sized onions and 1--WE
spriss Of garlic. Fry TO a nice brown while
your beans are cooking. When the latter
have cooked half an hour salt them to
taste. put in a quarter teaspoon chilli pow
der. and add the onions, garlic. and fat
Let them simmer-not boil hard-for six
hours and as the water cooks away add
more. bringing 1t just to the top OF the
beans but not above this.

advantage In mixing work with the chill
dren's play and instructing them at q very
early age to MAKE themselves Of use IN
the home?
One Of our Cornerites asked me not long
ago II she should have her little boy and
giri-aged respectively and 6-help about
the housework- The mother had two or
three other children and kept no maid
aid 10 her as say now that thought by.
all means the children should have regu-
lar duties, not enough to burden them or
tire them. but something which would give
them q small sense Of responsibility as du-
ties to be discharged systematically.
Ny observation leads me, as 1t probably
does other mothers, to believe that chill
dren do not feel themselves drudges when
they are allowed to take a fair share in
the housework- On the contrary, it gives
them q sense Of their own importance and
adds to their happiness.
Teach your children from the outset to
keep their nursery in order By the time
they are able to run about the room they
should learn to gather up the toys they
have scattered and to put them where they
belong. Little more effort Is required to
show them how to lay their playthings In
place in an orderly fashion and this tidi-
ness will stand them in good stead In later
years
In the same way they should not be per-
mitted to throw their clothes in a heap on
the floor. The time has gone past when
the good little boys and girls do as we
read they did In books Of a generation or
two ago and fold each garment neatly in
taking it OF and lay all in pile on
chair! Now we teach the youngsters to
hang their raiment up to air. but It In as
easy to do this neatly AZ carelessly. and

On the Road.

To the Editor: Members of the
Motor cycle club state that on IA recent
trip to Dubuque, via the Lake To
River Road, the worst piece of road in
the trip of 120 miles was found from
what is known as Shaaf's Hill to
Cottage Inn. This road is rough
rocky, with several steep grades, and
has never seen what is known as a
King road drag. 1t was learned from
that trips that the counties which had
done the most to improve their roads
We're the counties which are even
now adding most to their Investment in
road improvements 1t was related by
an early settler that the piece of road
referred to road is not as good today as
1t was fifty years ago, and that an OK
cart could hardly be driven over ii in
its present condition.
This is severe commentary upon
roads located in one of the oldest, most
thicllly settled and richest counties of
southern Wisconsin, and the farther
we got from Mineral Point the better
the roads.
We have highway law which will
show even greater results each year
under the new system of districts
devised by the state highway commits
sion, each under a resident engineer.
If citizens of all classes will boost for
the cause of good roads, Wisconsin
will mend her ways. to the great bene-
tit of all her citizens. TRAVELLER.

Road Grading.

The use of the roadgrader is working
wonders on the roads of southwest Wis
consn. A good example can be seen
on the north Waldwick road out from
this city, or on any other road where
the grader has been used this season.
This road was lately graded nearly its
entire length and since the last heavy
rains shows marked improvement. The
rainfall settles the whole surface and
the water runs off to the sides, leaving
the middle of the road smooth and gen
orally in good condition. A properly
graded clay road worked over with a
king drag is for great part of the
year in ideal condition. The essentials
for good road improvement in this sec
ton, as nearly every where else, are,
good engineering so that the road bed
will be properly unwatered, good grad
ing and frequent dragging.

The accepted design of the Perry
memorial was secured through an
architectural competition conducted
under the rules of the American lnsti-
tute of Architects and decided by the
National Commission of the Fine Arts.
The monument, when completed as
designed, will cover, with it's plaza,
almost all of the reservation dedicated
as park to the memorial. The plaza,
rising in gradual ascent from the
waters edge to the level height of II
feet, is 1858 feet long and 461 feet
vide. The Doric column in the cen.
ter, is 1885 feet in height, from the
base to the light on the tripod sur,
mounting the abacus which is 800
feet high and will be rallied for an
observation gallery. 1t will be reached
by electric elevators. The column is
