Much Street Work In the City
This Year.

The grading and macadamizing Of
Washington, Center, Madison and Nc
Murray streets, and Park and Trail ave-
nues. at cost of probably $40, 600 is
part of the work before City Engineer
Crum for this summer. This estimate
also includes the cost Of placing West
South street, west of Bentz street, in
good condition, made necessary by
reason Of the laying of the new water
main.
Before this work can be taken up all
of the .macadam streets of the CITY will be
oiled, and as soon as this is completed,
Carroll Creek will be cleaned. Already
6. 600 gallons of the oil has been used,
which leaves 1000 gallons in the tank.
City Engineer Crum said that another
tank Of 10. 600 gallons had been ordered
for the citv's streets.
All the macadam streets in the city
will be oiled except South Market and
Second street from Chapel alley to East
street and Rockwell Terrace. On these
streets will be used surface treatment
known as "Ugite' Sand and gravel will
then be placed on this which will give the
same appearance as the Middletown
State Road, west Of Frederick.

War Against Flies.

Do not wait until the fieS are firmly
established in the house before putting
up screens and providing fly paper.
There shonld be a fly brush in every
room, and it should be ruthessly used
upon every single fly which dares to
appear.
Do you know that If the seasons prog
eny of A single par OF flies could all
live and be massed together they would
fill space as large as the greatest sky
scraper? In length this number oi flies
originating from the same parents would
make road 1000 miles ong and three
miles deep, running about $4,000, 900
miles from the earth to the sun.
The two diseases most apt to be car
ried by the flies are typhoid fever and
diarrhea OF infants, and as determined
campaign against living flies and thor.
ough cleaning OF refuse heaps would
eliminate the evil, it seems worth while
to make the attempt.
If one fly family is so prolific as just
stated, think of the numerous descend
ants which must survive, even though an
innumerable number are destroyed.

woMEN's TASTE.


A cultivated taste marks a woman of
elegance and refinement as decidedly as
a knowledge of classical literature does
a gentleman; and there is nothing in
which female vulgarity is more clearly
shown than in want of taste.
This is ali axiom that we think will not
admit of dispute: but it is a question of
how far this taste is natural and how far
it may be acquired.
"A delicate taste must, to certain ex-
tent, depend upon the organization of
the individual; and it is impossible for
any rules to be laid down which will i'm
part taste to persons entirely devoid of
it.
But this is very seldom the case
with women, as 1t is one of the few
points in which women naturally excel
men.
Men may be- and properly are. super
ior to women in all that requires pro-
found thought and general knowledge;
but in the arrangement of house, and
the introduction of ornamental furni-
ture and articles of bijouterie, there can
be no doubt of the innate superiority of
woman.
Every one must have remarked the diff
terence in the furnishing OF bachelors
house and one where lady presldes;
the thousand little elegances of the lat
ter, although nothing In themselves, ad-
ding, like ciphers, prodigiously to the
value of the solid articles that they are
appended to.

A GOOD NATuREp MAN.

In an Omaha, Nebraska, church, Sam
Jones once shouted, ''ls there a man
present who has never spoken cross
word to his wife?' The silence was be-
coming oppressive; every husband look
ed here and there: every husband want
ed to get up, but did not dare to. But
the sadness that had possession of
Jones face, vanished a moment later,
when a round faced, good natured man
rose from his seat. THANK Godr" ex-
claimed Sam, there is one man who has
never spoken cross word to his wife"
The good natured man smiled a bland
smile and said: mo, sir, | never did
Pm bachelor" Then he put on his
hat aud calmly walked out of the door.
Say, young man, there is one thing
that you can not do. You can not make
success in life unless you work. Better
men than you have tried and failed. You
can not loaf around the street corners
and saloons, smoke cigars, tell foul
stories, drink whiskey and sponge on
some one else, without making failure
in life. You must learn trade or get
into some honest business. If you don't
you will be chronic loafer, despised by
all, producing nothing, simply making
yourself burden on your parents or the
State There is no place in the world
for loafers. The ripe fruit is all at the
top of the tree. You must climb to get
it. If you wait for it to fall at your feet
YOU will never get it. Smarter men will
jump up and get all. Move. Do some
thing; no matter how small. 1t will
be starter Help yourself and others
will help you. There is no royal road
to success. Toll, grit and endurance;
these are the requisites. Wake up and
see what you can do.
