THURSDAY. JAN. 12.1893.

WHEAT went tip three cents on the bushel yesterday in Chicago.

SENATOR MCLEAN has introduced a bill to appropriate $130,000 (or the benefit of Indiana at the World's Fair exhibit.

SENATOR SELLER: What the people of Indiana want is an honest apportionment for Congressional and Legislative purposes.

SENATOR SELLER is quartered at the English hotel. Should any of his constituents desire to consult him in regard to lost corner stones, they will find him at that hostelry.

THE first bill to pass both the House and Senate was one to appropriate 8105,000 to pay the expenses of the General Assembly. The Solone never get left when it is a question concerning their own salaries.

THE statesman from Montgomery, Representative McAllister, has introduced a bill in the House to repeal the act empowering County Commiss'oners to make appropriations to colleges tin der certain conditions. He is in favor of retrenchment and reform except in the matter of the appointment of Demo cratic doorkeepers, and "sich."

THE contrast between the speech of Governor Fifer upon his retirement from office and the last message of Governor Chase is quite striking. The one elicited the applause and commanded the respect of all parties, while the other was repudiated by his own party and scored by his opponents. The onf breathed a spirit of broad patriotism, while the other a sycophancy that was disgusting.

HON. CHARLES W. FAIRBANKS was honored last night by the Republicans of the Indiana Legislature with the nomination for United States Senator. Mr. Fairbanks is a young man but he posesses abilities, of a high order, and in naming him as their choice for Unit ed States Senator the Republican mem"hers of the Legislature but voiced the sentiments of their party constituteLe throughout the State. It is to be regretted that there are not enough votes to elect him.

The Sentiment in Furor of Good lloade. There is a growing sentiment in every intelligent community that good roads are as much of a necessity as good land or good water, and the more the question of sensible roadmaking is agitated the better it will be for the community. Illinois is a

gTeat

agricultural Btate, but

at present the farming community are in the mud about one-half of the year they want to come out of course, but how to get out is the great question. Country supervisors of roads are plowing and piling up huge piles of earth every year, putting it in the centers of the highways with the best ditches thsy can make to carry off the surplus water, paying but little attention to the level or grades, and in many instances doing about as much damage as good. Ohio did the same thing until 1800, when the legislature

feave

them the law known as

the free gravel road ls.w, and giving them the privilege of uiuking improvements and taxing themselves to pay for it. In man) counties they availed themselves of this chance, and they now have the fL.est 6vstem of graded and graveled roads to be frund anywhere also in Inuiana in 1880 they did the same, and in many counties they have flue roads. —J. Q. Baird in Chicago Inter Ocean.

Who Im to Illume?

Shall I raise the broken vcsmjI— Emblem of my liirht, my love-v Now dcsjK)iIod by miuiV mad passion

Like a soiled and wouuded dove?

Shall I touch the hand polluted .. Hy the libertine's foul shame? Shall 1 hurl my curses on her—

Crush her with the guilt and blume?

Shall I join the mob's wild fury And her faults the louder swell?Shall 1 blast the flickering hope

Trembling on the verge of hell?

Ob. what conflicts rage within me— Fires that tears cannot abate Wounds that cry revenge, revenge

Wrongs that kuow no law but hate!

Phantoms damned and Jealous furies Rack my brain while justice sleeps Reason now is slave to passion

Manhood groans, and pity weeps.

I know not bow sho was tempted, How she struggled to maintain All her sacred vows aud honor

From tb»» tempter's gilded stain.

I was blind to her entreaties I was dumb to sighs and tears 1 was cold aud proud and haughty—

Filled her heart with doubts and fears.

I can see how she has hungered For the love of former days. How she tried to draw me to her

By a thousand winsome ways.

Have 1 beon as kind and gentle As a husband ought to be? Have 1 been as true and faithful

As my wife has been to me?

Have I shielded her from danger— Gurtrded her from honeyed bin? Did I nut unbar the gateway \Vh«*re »ue wolf found entrance in?

Is my record free from winning? Is the guilt on her alone? Shall I play the righteous Judge

And can forth the killing stone?

See her crouching, kneeling, weeping, From the cur^e that I should spare! H^ar her pleading and beseeching

For the love that she should ebarel

Dry thine eyes. The scales have fallen And revealed our sinful life! Pardon grantl The fault was mine.

Rise and be my trusted wife. .. —J. M. Munvon.

TELLO jV.A IT.KY.

Tello J. d"Apery is a bright"lad nearly sixteen old and Iihs for four years been publishing Jittlw paper called The Sunny Hour at IS West Fourteenth street, New York. There are several papers edited by children, but Tello's is notable on account of his extraordinary success in securing correspondence from noted persons. Crowned heads, dukes, princes, generals and statesmen have been his contributors, secured largely by his knowledge of eastern Europe, of which he is a native. The profits of his paper go to a children's charity.

Professor Goetx(has been experimenting with bnuulcss dogs. Que animal deprived of all its psychic faculties survived eighteen months. It could neither see nor feel, and its memory was utterly gone.

DON'TS FOR HOMEMAKERS.

Don't put heavy drapery in small rooms. Don't let the fashion of the hour override your common sense.

Don't have a big Chinese porcelain jar In a room only four times the width of the jar. Don't use a table lamp of herculean proportions on a small table or in a small room.

Give the eye space n.s well as the lungs. Space in the center of the room is aa previous as the most mostly piece of furniture.

Don't hang your pictures with the tops tipped out from the wall, but let both pictures and furniture, so far as possible fall back flat against the wall, so that the individuals who dwell in the apartment will be tfco real decoration and the furniture aud bric-a-brac an agreeable back ground.—Decorator aad Furnisher.

HIGHWAYS OF BELGIUM.

CnormotiN Loads Drnwn on Them—How Tlicy Aro Marie mikI Maintained. Americans who find themselves in Europe are struck with astonishment at the enormous loads drawn by horses and dogs there, says Hon. George C. Tanner, consul to Brussels. One of the eye from the bulk just mention**] to the roads and half the wonder would be accounted for, because the roads have almost everything to do with it. We are too apt to ignore that which we trample under foot. The ancients knew and appreciated more the importance of good public roads than we do today, though at the present time in Europe this is a subject of first importance.

Belgium is divided into nine provinces, and each province is the seat of a well organized state government, presided over by a governor. Each of the nine provinces, at each seat of government, has a bureau for roads and bridges, whose chief gives his undivided attention to these things.

The roads are most carefully engineered in the first place, heavy grades, even in mountaiuous localities, being carefully avoided. The roads are built in an oval form, and in most cases are paved with stones in others gravel forms the roadbed, and still in others gravel covers the stone, which soon, becoming hard and smooth, makes the best roadbed of all others, because tho •jolts and r.o'fe of a paved' road, which are both tiresome and disagreeable, are avoided, and then the wear and tear are not so great on tho running gear, and this kind of road is decidedly more agreeable to pedestrians and possesses, in addition to other advantages enumerated, the advantage that if the gravel washes away the stones remain and a good road is always assured.

The stones composing the roads are of a blunt, wedge shape, four or five inches square, and are quickly laid aud quickly taken up if necessary. These stones are uniform and regular in size, and whfn placed dirt is put over the new pavement, and then a large roller, drawn by four horses, is passed and repassed over it until the stones are well settled in their places and tho crevices filled with earth. In constructing roads there regard is always paid to locality and liability to wash. Where there is no danger of washes si ones are dispensed with altogether, and an oval slmpe-.! gravel road is substituted at less cost, but in all cases the sides of the road receiving the drainage, and where it is apt to show first symptoms of yielding to bad weather, are carefully paved so that washes and gullies cannot commence in that quarter.

The public roads of Belgium enter into successful competition with the railroads, so much so that a man who has his team does not by any means consider himself forced to send his products by rail. It is one of the commonest sights in Liege to see wagons laden with merchandise from Brussels, which is sixty, or from Antwerp, which is seventy-two. miles from this place this fact does not possess anything astonishing until the enormous loads pulled that distance by one horse is considered, and there is nothing t-liat so astonishes the American as this. Sometimes the wagon itself looks like a sufficient charge for two horses, while wagon, load and all are drawn by one with the greatest ease. These horses are of a larger and stronger build than our horses, and from their size and strength are called in England "English drafts." Place the same load on almost any of our roads in the United States, and at least two more, if not three more, English drafts would be required to pull it the samv distance. Dog carts come to thfe market laden with beef and other products of the farm, a distance of twelve and fifteen miles, drawn by one dog. Two grown persons return in the wagon.

J'lati* for Rondhnild Ing.

The following plans are adapted to the conditions and requirements of public highways 111 the greater portion of Iown:

PJ.ui First—The road is to be graded 80 as tn form a ridge- feet higher than the ditches on eirher side of it. Draintile would bo laid, with the collars in the middle of the road, in such manner and so deep down under the surface that the water and moisture will readily flow from the tile into the ditch. The outlet of this drain should be well protected, so as not to become clogged or choked up, thus keeping the road itself continually dry.

Plan Second—The above plan would make a fairly good prairie road, while the second plan would be identical with the first in all essential points, except that the ditch above ths tile would be filled with gravel, thus assuring a more rapid absorption of all water, snow and aiqiiid mud.—Cedar Rapids Gazette.

You would not suspect it from the taste there is codliver oil in Scott's Emulsion.

It looks like cream it is like cream. Cream is bits of butter covered with something else—you do not taste the butter. Scott's Emulsion is drops of cod-liver oil covered with glycerine.

Cream is an easier food than butter, because it is in bits. Scott's Emulsion is codliver oil made easy the drops are invisibly fine they do not resist digestion.
