Washing Day in sicily.

The Sicilians have the reputation of
not washing themselves overfrequent-
~, but If they are remiss In this re-
spect they more than make up for 1t
by washing their garments washing,
In fact, being a perennial occupation
among the women. The songs Of the
women folk as they scrub the clothes
of their husbands and children outside
the doors Of their homes, if living In a
city. or in some brook or running
stream If living in the country, are a
noticeable feature of lower class Sicil-
ian life. The long spikes on the prickly
pear leaves and aloe plants make splen-
did natural pegs on which to dry the
clothes, and in all the rural districts
you will see them thus utilized, but II
they do not happen to be sufficiently
handy the clothes are often stretched
out upon the mountainside to dry. The
occupation and recreation of most OF
the poorer women may be summed up
In three words washing and gossip

THREE NOTCH ROADS.
Their Curious Title Comes From the
Name Of George III.

Their Curious Title Comes From the
Name Of George Ill.
In Missouri and some other central
western states there are roads that are
called three notch roads," They are
public highways as distinguished from
the roads that lead to sawmill, a
schoolhonse. a church or an isolated
farmhouse A three notch road ''goes
somewhere" Preceding along such a
read, the traveller is bound, in time, to
reach town.
There lies behind the curious title an
interesting story. 1t appears that
King George Ill. decreed that all Eng
lish public roads, as kings highways,
should be marked with his name. In
the colonies it was often impossible to
mark the roads with the care and
thoroughness that were used in Eng
land. and In the wilderness 1t was
enough to cut three notches on the
largest trees along the roads.
After the Revolution. of course, the
name of King George was omitted.
but the three notches proved useful as
means of marking public roads.
Virginia colonists, it is said. carried
the practice into Tennessee, Kentucky
and Indiana. and their children, in
turn. carried 1t into Missouri.
Originally Missouri had no counties.
Later. when they were formed. the
state decided that If the task were left
to the counties there would be little
road building. Accordingly, the state
constructed the roads and marked
them with three notches. Later,
when the counties undertook to build
roads. they were designated in the
timber country by two notches. Prior
to and during the war between the
states the distinction was preserv-
ed. and three notch roads were al
ways through roads that led from
one town of Importance to another.
Two notch roads were less important
highways. and roads not notched at
all were either rail roads or plank
roads. A rail road was road leading
to camp where men split rails. and
a plank road led to a sawmill.

How a Railway Tunnel Was Built
Through Sand Bank.

How a Railway Tunnel Was Built
Through Sand Bank.
A colony of bank swallows taught a
young but observing engineer how to
build tunnel that his more learned
superiors had refused to undertake.
North of Burlington. VT, lies a
broad sand plain high above the level
Of Lake Champlain, through which the
Central railroad was to be carried by
a tunnel. The sand. destitute of moist
ure, would not cohere. but crumbled
away as soon as an excavation was
made. After several costly trials the
engineers decided that the tunnel was
Impracticable
A young man in the engineers Office
said he could tunnel the sand bank at
a small cost. He said he could build
the tunnel for so many dollars a rum
ming foot, but that he couldn't expect
the railway people to act upon his
opinion when SO many American and
European engineers had declared the
project impracticable.
The managers, however, gave him q
contract to build fifty feet of the tun-
mel On the face of the sand bank he
marked the line of an arch larger than
the proposed tunnel and on this line
drove sharpened timbers into the bank
Then he removed six feet of the sand
and drove in another arch of twelve
foot timbers, removing six feet more
of sand. This process he repeated un-
til he had space enough to begin the
masonry. As fast as the masonry was
completed the space above it was
filed, leaving the timbers In place.
He pierced the bank with the cheap
est tunnel ever built, which now
stands as firm as on the day 1t was
finished
He was asked whether there was
any suggestion Of the structure adopt
ed by him to be found in the books on
engineering.
"No,' he said, at came to me in this
NWay: was driving by the place
where the attempts were made and
saw that colony of swallows had
made their homes in the bank. 1t oc-
Cured to me that these little engineers
had disproved the assertion that the
sand had no cohesion. AS every swal-
lows home is self sustaining tunnel
without masonry. thought that by
extending their method could con-
struct larger tunnel. The bank swal-
low is the inventor; am simply his
imitator."-Boston Post.

Glare Howard in 1.-THE English Trav-

the serious aim OF the traveller in and

be achieved only by coming into con-
tact with the learning and life of the
continent, particularly Italy-the fow-

which then became the arbiter Of man

risks Of travel IN those days were CO.

death traps, and "many an eager tour
