SAND CLAY ROADS AND
THE TIME TO WORK THEM.

Washington, d. c., Jan. 2l.--!There
are at present about $4,000 miles of
sand clay roads in the United States.
mainly in tho Southern States, ac-
cording to the office of public roads.
United States department of agricul-
ture. The time to work the roads Il
in the spring when the soil is damp.
If the working of the roads is defer
red until late in summer when they
are dry, they are not only much more
difficult to put in proper shape, but
the cost of repair is greater than were
they worked in the early spring.
Previous to 1894 comparatively lit
tie, if any, of these roads existed. The
popularity of this type of road is due
to the facts that it is cheap, compar-
atively firm and durable, easy TO con-
struct and repair, and that the ma
terials out of which it is built are
plentiful in many sections of the coun-
try.
The sand-clay road is made by mix
ing the sand and clay in such way
that the grams of sand sonch each
other, the spaces between the grains
being filled with clay which acts as
q binder.
The approximate mixture OF sand
and clay may be determined by fill
ing n vessel with sample Of the
sand to ne used, and another vessel
of tn same size with water The water
is poured carefully into the sand un-
til it reaches the point of overflowing.
The volume of water removed from
the second vessel represents approxi-

Wash some spinach thoroughly
(about two pounds) boil it ten min

in mortar till fine enough to pass
through sieve. When pressed out,
put it in an earthern pot with lump
of butter the size of an egg and half
a teaspoonful of lemon juice; let boil
a few minutes; remove to bowl, and
when it is cold mix in 1t the beaten
yolks of two eggs. (Three may be
used) Put then into buttered mold,
leaving a hole in the middle, and cook
slowly an hour in an outer vessel Of
boiling water, with good steady heat
above and beow in the even. When
done, turn out on a platter and fill
the cavity with cooked mushrooms.

CANCERS.

Tumors are a class name for can
GERS; and mean little more than the
Latin intended 1t to mean, simply a
growth. Any growth like a wart, corn
or an enlarged CLAN, commonly call
ed lump is a tumor. All OF these
are quite innocent, and the variety OF
innocent tumors to which the body Is
liable is very great. Just as there are
harmless snakes and poisonous
snakes, so there are harmless tumors
and deadly tumors. Those which
are harmful and deadly as we'll as de-
structive can properly be grouped nm
der the name Of cancer
Much suspicion, ignorance and mis-
information obscures the subject OF
careers. The great reason for this is
that these malignant tumors are SO
diverse in their appearance ana be-
havior and so freakish in thir advent
and so difficult of recognition with
out technical knowledge with most
people the term cancer means little
more than form of fatal horror. Ev-
identity the popular opinion is one
well justified, because the ultimate
result in cases OF unrecogniscd can
Ger and in cases where recognition Is
late is almost inevitable destruction
TO the individual.
Although cancer assumes many DE-
trent guises. there are certain char
acteristics possessed by all growths
Of this type. All cancers tend TO de-
stroy life; for this reason they are
called malignant growths. In some.

CANCER AGE.

Cancer occures most commonly IN
individuals beyond the age of forty:
but even these forms of cancers that
have been regarded as the curse OF
middle and old age, have been occas-
ionally encountered in young individ-
uals. People rnder forty, however,
have a susceptibility to certain can
cerous growths, for instance, primary
cancer of the kidneys has more Of
ten been encountered in children un-
der ten years of age; so no period OF
life is immune. Because of the total
number of cancers in this forty years
of age period, we are justified Ia
speaking of that age as the cancer
age. Again during the latter half OF
life, there is a tendency to the degen-
Grafton of the tissues of the body.
This implies a lowered resistance to
all sorts OF lnvasions, bacterially and
cancerous.
There is no area in the body free
from liability to cancer; but certain
parts furnish more of chance than
others to malignant growths. The
lips and the tongue, especially in
man, the breast, organs of generation
in woman; the skin. stomach, intes-
tines and kidneys, these~are the re-
gions in which the greatest number
of cancers occur
