Roads In OIden DAYS.

A curious illustration of the lack of
any systematic authority over the
roads in England, even as late as the
fifteenth century, is preserved in the
records of the manor of Aylesbury. A
local miller. named Richard Boose,
needed some ramming clay for the re-
pair of his mill. Accordingly-we learn
from "Old Country Inns"-his servants
dug a great pit in the middle Of the
road. ten feet wide and eight feet deep,
and so left it TO become filled with
water from the winter rains. A glover
from Leighton BuZZard, on his way
home from market, fell in and was
drowned. Charged with manslaughter,
the miller pleaded that he had no place
wherein to get the kind of clay he re-
quired except on the highroad. He
was acquitted.

throws ii2i.t on the Oh; rlcter Of that
great railroad man and builder OF civ
ilizatiou. says t,.r Albany KIickerbock-

the banker to perform 4 task which re-

the story:

preston in my face. for he asked.
what's the matterY
"'Well,' said l. my family is across
the lake, but that doesn't make any
difference. I'll start in the morning
and
"Mr. Hill held up his right hand and
said: Hold on. Let me give you fact
born of long experience. All the real
fun a fellow has in life is within the
four walls that inclose his family. Go
across the lake and see your family
and start on my job when you get
through with the home folks"

A HIGHLAND LEGEND.

In the days when fairies lived In the
hillocks that rose all through the high
lands there lived an old piper who had
three sons.
Now, the profession of piping was a
most honorable one, and the old piper
was very anxious to have all his sons
follow in his footsteps and become pip
ers like himself.
Two of them had'no trouble at all In
learning, but Conal. his youngest boy,
was a great trial TO him. for try as he
might he couldn't master a single tune
no matter how easy it was.
Poor Conal was very unhappy.
One evening he was wandering
around, thinking mournfully of his
want of skill, when on nearing a green
hillock around which he had often
played when Il little lad he saw that IL
was open.
OF course Conal knew it was fairy
hill, for every one in the land knew
all about the fairies.
Conal also knew just what to do in a
case like this, 50. taking his knife, he
stuck 1t in the doorway and boldly en-
tered the fairy hall
The little people were by no means
pleased to see a mortal in their OWE
home and crowded around him. angrily
demanding:
"Why do you come here? What do
you want i'll our house?'
Conal. who was seldom scared at
anything, was not alarmed now and
answered:
81 want you to help me. for well
know you can
"And what help do you wantY' they
asked, for Conal was making a good
impression on them, he was so polite.
Il want to learn to play the pipes. l
am so stupid cannot bring from them
even one little air. Now, know you
are masters Of all kinds Of music, so
do please help meT said ConaL
swell, that means no harm to usp'
said the fairies, for they were gratified
to see that Conal was only asking a
favor.
"Well, well, Conal, you have always
been a good boy. You have never
scoffed at US. and We'll teach you to
play"
So they brought forth a fine set of
pipes, and they showed Conal how to
use this finger and how TO use the 9TH
er and how to blow his breath and how
to hold the pipes.
What a wonderful lesson that was!
Soon. very soon. Conal was lingering
and drawing forth enhancing melodies
as well as the fairies themselves.
1t was true ever after Conal was
the finest piper in the whole country,
and his fame went abroad even to
other lands

EVaporated Liquids.

Steam emanating from boiling milk
if condensed would become water.
This may be seen in the manufacture
Of Condensed milk. which is only ordi-
nary milk boiled down until the water
is out of it. If Il liquid which contains
solid bodies in solution be evaporated
the solids are left behind. That this
is SO may be shown by adding to wa
ter that is to lie distilled n trace of
magenta snI a little salt The dis
titled water has no taste and is color
less. The magenta is generally depos-
tied upon the sides of the boiling YES

Seals Can Drown.

1t is a curious fact that the fur seal
was once a land animal. The baby
seals are actually afraid of water. They
would drown if thrown into it and have
to learn to swim by repeated efforts
When once they have been taught to
swim, however. they soon forget to
walk.
There are in existence only two Inn,
portant herds of fur seals, one of
which has its breeding grounds in the
Commander islands, belonging to Rus,
STA. the other in the Pribilof islands,
belonging to the United States. OF
these the latter is much the larger,
The Pribilof islands are government
property, and thus it happens that the
United States government finds itself
the owner of by far the most valuable
herd of fur seals in the wOrld.-London
Mail.

HIS FAMILYS FACES
He Is O'clock. His Wife Is 2, and
Children Go According to Age.

st. Joseph. Mo.-The fight of the
hours are marked on the dial Of G. W.
Hundreds watch by the faces Of his
ten children and by his own face and
the face of his wife. Tiny photo
graphs are set i'll the dial in place Of
the Roman numerals. Every time Mr..

whole family
He is 1 o'clock and his wife is 2. The
children are arranged in the order of
their birth, beginning at 3 o'clock with
Carl, who is thirty-fOur, and continu-
ing through Calvin. Albert, Bertha,
Glen, George. Eva, Robert, Vernon
and little II o'clock Edith, who is
three and the youngest of the family.
The watch was made especially for
Mr.. HUNDRED a few years ago and
he is so used to it that he can tell the
