perhaps its origin IL not so generally
known. Cooked hat was q variety Of
the game Of bowls In which only three
pins were used, set up ut the angles Of

an were knocked down except the
three at the corners the set was said
to be Knocked into . cooked hat -

WINTER CARE OF ROADS.
Keep bitches and Drains Open and uaf
Road DRAG.

nO0V OVa0s
Water, not cold, is tie cause of the
deterioration of roads in winter, &C
cording to the road specialists Of the
United States department Of agricul-
ture. Cold weather. does notin itself
injure roads, no matter whether theg
are earth, gravel or macadam. In fact,
an earth road will stand more traffic
when it is solidly frozen than ut any
other time. Excess water, however, IL
always detrimental to highway
When cold weather turns this water
into ice the damage that it does is
greatly increased. Ice occupies con
siderably more space than the water
from which it is formed, and every per
son who has lived in q cold climate R
familiar with the powerful bursting ef-
feet Of water when left to freeze In a
confined vessel. The same action takes
place when q wet road freezes to any
considerable depth. 1t simply bursts.
or, as we generally term it in road par
lance, the road heaves. Later, wbeE
the frost leaves, the road is disinte-
grated and ruts badly. II this process
is repeated number Of times during
the winter gravel or macadam road
may be practically destroyed, while aE.
earth road may become entirely i'm
passable.
A dry road will not heave. Rock,
gravel, sand and even clay when per
fectly dry contract slightly on freez-
ing. In order to expand on freezing
these materials must contain or be
mixed with water, and the more water
they contain the greater the expan-
sion which takes place. But, SO long
as the road remains frozen the damage
does not become apparent; hence the
frequent and erroneous idea that 1t is
the thaw which Injuries the road. The
injury was done when the water In
the road froze and the particles of the
road surface-br0ken stone, sand OF,
still finer particles Of earth or clay
were pushed apart by the expanding
power Of the freezing water. The
thaw merely allows the ice to melt
and assume its original volume as We
ter.
During the winter whenever q thaV
is coming on the cross drains and side
bitches should be opened up as far az
possible so as to prevent water COL
lecting along the roadway. II the
thaw is so pronounced that the road
way is softened the drag should be
used. Sometimes one round trip, OF
the drag with the hitch reversed wiz
entirely rid the earth road Of slush
and melting snow and dpleave the road,
surface practically dry. Don't get the
idea that the drag is not needed on
your earth and gravel roads In the
winter time. Instead, keep it where
you can get at It readily. for IL the
winter is an ordinary one you VIII
need 1t many times.

Antiquity Of Cricket.

By the middle of the seventeenth
century cricket, whose age seems cast
in the shade Of the unknown, had
achieved for itself recognized place.
It was one Of the sports which writer
Of the times Indignantly declared he
had witnessed openly and publicly on
the Lords day" However, the real
rise Of cricket did not begin until the
eighteenth century. Then men of quail
ity began to favor the game. They
organized teams and matches, and even
royalty took note Of it and became its
patrons. The Marylebone club, which
was formed in 1857 remains to this
day the final court Of appeal on all
matters relating to cricket-London
Spectator.

:.'Splendidly," said the proud father,
who then went on to tell of his sons

successes, and the minister said It was
a fine thing to be college bred. That

interested listener. said, Papa, what
did Mr.. Brown mean by college bred?''

remarked Cynthia
DO they teach that at college?"
Cynthia Danvers raised her eye
brows, shrugged her shoulders and
answered. Perhaps they do. Who

Remington Ardsley looked her
squarely in the eyes before he spoke.
Then my daughters shall not go to
college," he said
Cynthia laughed You anticipate
the future with flattery to yourself"
she retorted.
'I'll deal in the present, if you pre-
fer. Cynthia. Though, to be perfectly
frank, l was happier in the past" he
said earnestly
Cynthia eyes questioned him. She
did not speak.
Yes; when you were a sweet. I'M
spoiled girl" he said deliberately
Before you went to college" he add
ed.
Thanks replied Cynthia, sharply.
They walked on in silence. The

-Four years ago when your STEP
mother sent you to fashionable col

nor cynical" Ardsley continued. You
were gentle and hopeful and-wom-

with some misgivings. He was not
sure he dared to speak so frankly;
and he watched her from the tail of
his eye.
Cynthia raised her chin a trife
higher and began indifferently to hum

New SIGNAL Invented.

visual and audible signal for yes.
sells has been devised and is now be-
ing introduced on the craft of the
Great Lakes. In these waters it is
often necessary for vessels to pass
each other in narrow passages. Often
confusion results when the pilot of
one boat is unable to hear the signal
of the other owing to the strong wind
blowing the sound in the opposite di-
rection. With the new signal. at each
blast there is a corresponding flash,
so that in the event of the signal be-
ing lost to the ear 1t will be visible.
Another improvement, which has been
made in this respect is that of elevat-
ing the whistle to point four feet
above the pilot house, so that in windy
weather the signals may be interpret
ed during the day by watching the
blasts CT steam from the whistle.
