Where No Taxes Are Paid.

Happy and free from the worries Of
war taxation are the people Of Lundy
island, that little speck of Devon in
the English channel, the "king'' of
which, Rev. Hudson Hetven, died q
short time ago. The reverend gentle
man administered the affairs of the
island from 1887 to 1904, as his father,
who bought the island in 1884 for about
1000, did before him. The inhabitants
of Lundy number about forty and lead
an uneventful life. They pay no
taxes, are attached to no parish or
union and have no poor. The island
has q romantic and lawless history
and was once considered an excellent
harbOr and refuge for murderers.
Bardsley island, situated In the Irish
sea, off the county of Carnarvon. is
another spot where the tax collector is
unknown. There are about sixty peo-
pie on the island. who elect their own
king. The inhabitants are mostly en-
gagged in farming and fishing. The
island got its name from the tradi-
ton that it was the last retreat Of the
Welsh bards. In ancient times 1t had
a reputation for sanctity and to be
buried on its soil was an honor much
to be desired. 1t Is believed that more
than $4,000 saints" gained this
privilege.

ROADS
GOOD ROADS ARE NECESSARY
WeIi-Graded and Drained Earth Road,
When Dragged Regularly, 10
Quite Satisfactory.

Two very striking facts present
themselves to those who have noticed
our country roads this season. The
first fact is that proper drainage is
vitality necessary in order to have a
permanently good road. The second
fact is that. q well-graded and drained
earth road, when dragged regularly,
will give us passable and fairly good
road even under abnormal weather
conditions. Some of the best roads we
have passed over this season have
been simply dirt roads receiving log
drag treatment. Some of the worst roads
we have gone over this season have
been extensively made graveled roads
which have been bad simply because
Of lack of drainage. The fundamental
principle of road building, after all is
said and done, is to so grade our roads
and provide drainage that the water
can get away.
Sentiment in the middle West
seems to be gradually settling down to
the opinion that good roads are a ne
cessity and not luxury. Building
roads for automobile owners now
means building roads for farmers and
not for city people alone. The farm
tractor and the farm truck of the fu-
ture will further emphasize the i'm
portance Of good country roads. The
only thing that must be insisted on is
that roads must be made of the best
materials at hand, and the work must
be done under the supervision of those
who understand road-making. This
supervision naturally adds to the cost.
Another thing that must be understood
is that maintenance of the road year
after year, prompt attention being paid
to repairs, is inst as necessary as the
first construction.
We predict that good-road building
will continue to be one Of the most
popular subjects for discussion for the
next few years. The proposed federal
aid for road building, providing $751;
100000 to be spent during the next
five years when a similar sum Is raised
by the local community, means that a
national system Of roads is to become

METHOD OF PATCHING HOLES
Gravel Is Mixed With Heavy Road Oil,
Which Acts as Binder-Use q
Concrete Mixer.

The modern scheme Of protecting
road surfaces with sprayed oil has de-
veloped a new method Of patching
holes. Gravel Is mixed with a heavy
road oil, which acts as a binder. This
is prepared In advance and carted to
the place where the patching is to be
done. Less gravel is needed than when
it is used dry, because the hole need
be filed only level and tamped, while
with the ordinary method the patching
gravel must be heaped above the nor
NAL surface Of the road. Where patch
ing on a large scale Is to be done, a
concrete mixed can be used to prepare
the mixture. - Popular Mechanics

How to Drink Milk.

Sip milk slowly. Take four minutes
at least to finish tumblerful. and
take only good teaspOonful at one
sip. This is the ideal way in which
to drink milk. When milk finds its
way into the stomach, it is instantly
curdled. If you drink a large guam
tity at once it is curdled into one big
mass, only on the outside of which
the juices of the stomach can work.
If you drink it in little sips, each sip
is curdled up by itself, and the whole
glassful finally finds itself in loose
lump, made up Of little Jumps, upon
which the stOmach's juices may act
readily. Many people who like milk,
and know its value as a strength-giver,
think they cannot use ii because it
gives them indigestion. Most of them
could use it freely If they would drink
1t properly.

THE WINDOW GARDEN
BY z. VAN sENrHuYsEN.

Give the windows at which plants
are to be kept little attention at this
season. Go over the sash, and make
sure that the glass in 1t is well fas-
tened In place by putty. If any panes
are loose, reputty them. See that the
sash fits the frame well.
These little crevices are the ones
through which great deal of cold
may come when the temperature drops
below zero and there Is stiff wind
blowing.
1t Is an excellent plan to ft the
windows Of the dwelling with storm
windows-storm sashes. Not only for
the benefit Of the plants. but the hu-
man occupants as well.
At windows protected by storm sash
plants can be allowed to stand against
the inner glass, on the coolest night,
without injury. as the air space be-
tween the two sashes is a most eff
cient non-conductor of cold.

UNDERWATER TOOK THE barr
ouaker's shrewd, u Somewhat IN.
serupulous Trick, Had the Success
He Anticipated.

Some months ago the Companion
told little tale Of old privateering
days, In which q Quick-thinking en-
plOyee who discovered a long-overdue
privateer coming into port with prize,
by some very hard riding overlook the
owner Of the ship on his way to the
underwriters and saved him from the
useless payment Of a heavy premium.
An English Quaker was reminded Of an
anecdote Of the same period, based on
the same situation. which occurred
among his own people.
Two Quakers, merchant and an
underwater meeting at an inn, began
talk business over their meal. The
merchant presently proposed to his
friend. to insure his vessel, lost or not
lost, which ought soon to arrive: in
fact, 1t was already slightly overdue.
The premium would necessarily be
high, but the times were perilous and
the Yankee privateers had recently
taken many prizes upon the route the
vessel must cover. The underwater
hesitated. The policy was made out,
but his mind was not made up. Final
ly he put the paper into his pocket,
saying: ,--i f.-- -.-..
Il will sleep on the matter, friend
Joseph, and tomorrow II will return 1t
to thee, signed or unsigned"
They parted and went to their
homes. Before dawn an urgent mes.
senger clattered at the merchants
door. He was a bringer Of bad tidings.
The vessel was lost. 1t was, unless it
was insured, a heavy misfortune. II
only that policy had been signed the
day before! He had little belief that
his hesitating friend would have de-
cided to take the risk; he was eau
tious and keen person, with repu-
tatiOn for sharp practice. But Joseph
saw in that fact his opportunity. Sum-
moning a messenger. to whom he said
no word of his loss. he dispatched him
with a message, instructing him care
fully exactly what words to use. He
was to say:
Friend Joshua, neighbor Joseph de-
sires me to inform thee that. If thee
hast not underwritten, thee needst not
do it."
The message was delivered promptly
and precisely. Friend Joshua, who had
not signed, and had decided against
doing so, understood 1t to mean that
the ship had arrived safely, and the
owner did not wish to pay the pre-
MUM, now useless, unless the signed
document required him in honor and
law 10 do so. That is what the canny
Joseph expected him to think; and he
proceeded to act as Joseph had
guessed he might act. He pretended
not to find the policy where he looked
for 1t in his office, slipped 1t stealthily
among a handful of other papers,
which he carried earelessly with him
into the next room, where he went os-
tensibly to seek further, and there sly
ly signed 1t. Presently he brought it
back and delivered it to the messenger
with the message:
"Tell thy master had signed"
1t was not pretty bit of business
friend Joseph's trick was a little too
cleyer-but certainly no one can SYM
pathize with friend Joshua. 1t was a
case of the bitter bit.-Youth's Com
panion.
