NOT TO BE CAUGHT MAPPING
Uncle lobe Lived Up & HIs Rsputa.
tlon and the Doctor Lost
His Bet

There lives In a certain Vermont
town q quaint old character known
"a uncle Tobe." who Is so conserve
tive Of action and speech that Il
is most difficult at times 20 get any
thing definite from him. Uncle Tobe,
like the Father Of His Country, has the
reputation Of never having told a lie,
and In addition he Is 80 cautious Of
statement that he has eye been
known TO tell an innocent untruth.
On one occasion his doctor. In con
v~ersation with friends touching Uncle
Tobe's characteristics, ventured to lay
q bet Of Ave dollars that he could cause
Uncle lobe to tell what wasn't so. A
nelghbor promptly took the bet.
The doctor walked into Uncle Tobe'i
house next morning, and while be wal
talking with the old man, the neighbol
who had taken the bet drove up 10 th'
gate. Uncle lobe went to see what b,
wanted, and then the doctor, as he haS
agreed 70 do. went out the back doc
and hid In the barn.
Good morning, Tobe,' said the vis
itor. rs the doctor in your house2"
HE was there when came out

spIder,s Wonderful Web.

The spider is so repulsive as to
cause a shudder I'm those who look
upon II, and It is OF no use in the
world except for destruction Of flies
and other detestable insects, all max.
ing for a population that no army OF
spiders can exterminate. The house
wife and all the rest OF mankind may
execrate the flies, but they would
rather have a million flies than one
spider; yet this infinitely disgusting
creation OF incomprehensible nature
produces a thread and with magical IA
cAity filings Il into wonderful web
forms which battle all explanation Of
the geometrlcian.
Few Of the curiosities OF the myriad
insect world are so marvellous as tho
spinning Of the spider and the silk
worm. Many attempts have been made
to utilize the spider for tho produe-
tion OF silk, but the worm remains
the almost absolute monopolist, though
artificial silks are made from cotton
and other material by an expensive
treatment which are claimed to be
equal TO the real article in nsteF
and elasticity.

MAINTENANCE OF THE ROADS

manent ls Erroneous.

There is no phase OF the road prob
lem more important than that Of main
tenance. The general impression that
there are certain types OF roads that
are permanent Is erroneous. No per
manent road has ever been construct
ed, or over will be, according to the
road specialists OF the department
The only things about a road that may
be considered permanent are the grad.

engineers will soo be destroyed by
the trafnc, frost, rain and wind, unless
they are properly maintained. But
the life OF these roads may be pro

Thorough Cooking Of u~nInspeeted
Meat VIII Render II Safe From
Foot,and.Mouth Infection.
Prepared by the United States Depart
ment Of Agriculture.

Prepared by the United States Depart
ment Of Agriculture.
According to the specialists Of the
department Of agriculture people, even
in states quarantined for the foot-and-
mouth disease, need have no fear OF
eating meat, provided they cook II
thoroughly. The foot-and.mouth dis.
ease Is not easily communicated to
human beings through food, although
milk from a diseased COW might trans.
nit the disease to a human De,ug. In
the case OF milk, however, ~pastenTiza-
tion will render 1t entirely safe. HUI
man beings who do get the disease
commonly get Il from direct contact
with a sick animal, II is wisest, thSe-
fore, for people to keep away from all
animals having the disease, unless
they are properly provided with rub
Der gloves, coats and boots, and these
are thoroughly dlsinfected after each
visit 10 the animals.
In the Ease Of meat. as In the case
OF milk, II must be remembered that
all herds which actually show the dis
ease are quarantlned. and neither milk
nor meat from the sick animals can be
sold. Sixty per cent Of the meat used
in this country is produced In nearly
800 federally inspected slRughtering
and packing establishments located ia
240 cities. In these establishments
no animal is slaughtered until II has
passed an ante-mortem inspection and
also a most rigid post.mortem inapec-
ton by4a veterinarian at the time OF

AFTER EFFECTS
 OF EXPOSITIONS

Chicago, April Does the good that world expositions do live after the gates are closed and do the evil inferred with the key?
 This is the question many in Sal Francisco are asking and St. Louis folks have answered in various wayP But Chicago residents believe the worlds Columbian exposition, given in 1893, has been worth more to Cnicagoans than it cost.
 Some few Chicagoans, believe, hoy ever. that the unemployed eVl' had it's origin in the exposition. Thousands came here, it is said; expecting to receive work and were unable to leave.
 Elevated railroads had been talk ed of and had been tried but never been proven until along came the fair. And the Jackson park ai9- yaled railroad was first used to handle the vast crowds thronging Chicago to see the fair. Talk of tearing down the road after the fair was quashed when the most popular suburbs of the city grew along it's route.
 Standing in Jackson park, which was the exposition grounds, is the Field Columbian museum, scientists call it monument to the 1893 exposition. Near 1t is the old German building, built by the German government. The park itself is the best gift the fair gave to Chicago. It was laid out and beautified for fair purposes.
 Leading to the eX-fnir grounds is Chicago's own midway. The best parked boulevard in the world. Some of the city's best residences have been built along the mtd- way. It also leads to the Univer- sity of Chicago. And all around town the visitors see countless bronze, and other statuary, built temporarily for the fair, which now is used for the beautiflcation of the city.
