.ntn Kill Good Roiatls Movement. To prevent automobile "scorching" through Its streets, by which Its inhabitants are daily menaced, the village of Cranford, X. J., rlans to erect at evirj crossing bumpers which can be safely passed at a moderate pace, but whlb would prove highly dangerous to the autoist attempting to drive throui town at anything like record-breakins That looks like the boginnln? of the tnd of the good roads movement. All tl.i elaborate arguments alout the value of raacadaui to the farmer and the villager fail before the greater need of elf-preservatlon. The country resident of ten years ago wished to live on a ud road. The country resident today In a region Infested by automo-bib-? may wish to live near good roads but he prefers the road that passes his own door to be bad enough to prevent orenpeeding. He will even pay taxo. to nnke It bad by the building of obftrr.etions, as it Cranford, rather than to Increase his danger by making Improvements. It is the automobile as at present us-ed or rather misused that is ki!lir.g the good roads movement throughout the country; the selfishness and carelessness of a few working to the great detriment of the many. Public ftoada In Iowa. In the State of Iowa there are 10:1,. 418 miles of public roads. Less than 1.H0O miles is surfaced with gravel and le? than 300 with stone. The country road fund is derived from a tax which c'oes not exceed one mill on tire dollar. The township road fund may be as high as four mills. All able bodied male residents between the ages of 21 and 45 art. required to work two days, which lator Is valued at $1.50 per day. The property tax amounts to about two and a quarter millions and the labor tax seven hundred and sixty-two thousand, making a little over three millions all told. This amounts to about thirty dollars per mile of public road and about one dollar and forty cents per Inhabitant According ,to this report, which is Issued by the office of public roads, the State of Iowa has got a big problem to solve. Sentiment for better roads !s spreading, but the material for macadam Is scarce. There are other methods advocated and it Is confidently expected that wrae system will be devised whereby the highways of the State may be luproved In a satisfactory manner at reasonable cost. A Plea from. Texas. Country roads are an ever present Is sue. No country can succeed unless said country has plenty of good country roads. There is nothing that is so near success as an agitation along this line. Everybody and every Interest back the agitation for good roads. The city man wants them for comfort, the country man wants them for convenience. Nobody is directly opposed tc their construction. In consequence of that fact every one ought to be most willing to lend the helping hand. Tobpic who generally stand aloof upon occasions should not overlook this opportunity of getting In line for immediate consideration. Tbe building of good country roads Is something In which every one Is deeply , Interested. The future holds no more promising resr.lv than a successful compromise upon the proposition of building good country rojds. Once that desire upon the part cf te public Is responded to everybody will be happy. The wise and conserva tlve county commissioners act along Hose lineAustin (Texas) Statesman. The Talking Crow la Dead. Jack, the pet crow, which Prof. Wood of the Smithsonian Institut! in h&R had for a constant roommate for the last eight years, is dend, fays a Washington special to the Kansas City Str.r. Prof. Wood has always averred that Jack could reason as well as talk. Wood bougfct the crow eight years ago when a-fledgllng. For weeks the roung crow did nothing but "caw." At last Wood, In desperation, scolded him and the bird, to his amazement called out. "Come on, come on, Jrck." He had heard this said to him Innumerable times as his master left the room. It was several weeks before the bird poke again and then It broke out with an Imitation of his master, "Well, well, (veil, well." The crow learned to lmirate other birds and animals. The bird aearly always repeated Prof. Wood's remarks four or five times and then tvould stop, as If studying their effect nu his auditors. He could Imitate the "hello" call ver the tel?phone so well that It deceived those who were In the room and iid not know there was a talking crow there. Prof. Wood thinks the bird died f old age, not subscribing to the common Idea that crows live to be centenarians, Dlgnon'a Ilamor. The recent death of Bignon, the famous restaurateur of Paris, set afloat many stories about him. Among Lis patrons was Aurellen Scholl. It was he who told of a little mistake in addition to which he once called Bugnon'j attention. On two successive days Scholl had ordered precisely the same dejeuner. For the first the charge was 2'i francs ; the next day, the bill was 2$. Bignon was summoned. How i this? A discrepancy of 5 francs, and for the same Items! "Strange, Indeed," said Bignon; "I will Inquire." Soon he returned radiant "Just as I thought! The cash ier made a mistake against herself ot 5 francs yesterday. But I will not make you pay It!" Another day, Prince Pemldoff glanced at his bill and saw a fisH put down a 6 francs. "The devil!" he exclaimed; "fish must be scarce this year." "Oh, no." affably replied Bignon. "il is not fish that are scarce, but Prince Demldoffs !" On Full Strike. Jim Say, Molke, Is Tat out on ihtrike? Mike Tis.

WOMEN OF CUBA. They Are F.nterlnsr Bnslnesa Houses and Slake Itapid Propres. The Cuban women of to-day who have had the advantages of residing In the United States are very different from the Cuban women of ten years ago. before the Spanish-American war wrought such great changes in their beautiful island home. Then they were either ignorant from lack of educational, advantages if poor or were superficially accomplished If rich. Now they are entering tbe business houses of Havana and making rapid progress alor.g commercial line, says . the Detroit News-Tribune. Many young Cuban women lost fathers, husbands or brothers In the war. Their homes, were burned and their jewels sold to buy bread. There came a day when they must face dire poverty or else enter the ranks of wage earners just as their more independent American sisters had done long before. Once having entered the race they found that offices and stores opened their doors to those who sincerely wanted to earn their living. Havana business hou-es needed stenographers and secretaries and bookkeepers, and clerks cud the Cuban woman, who had previously been only a doll, found her niche in the great bustling world of business. There has also leen a great demand foi school teachers In Cuba and when a call was made for 3,500 teachers but few cfflcent women responded. Alexis E. Fry, supervisor of Cuban schools, consulted with his educational associates, for lack of trained teachers they decided to choose other bright young women, who were to hold the position of teacher conditionally, studying meantime and submitting to frequent examinations. The result has been remarkable, and the climax of this new state- of affairs was capped when Harvard university generously extended an Invitation to 1,500 Cuban teachers for a six weeks course of study at Cambridge free of all expense. Cuban women have also gone Into business on their own account. Some have opened millinery stores, and one delicately reared woman manages a cigar factory in Havana. Thus are these daughters of old Castile now turning to all manner of active vocations.

OUR LITTLE WHITE SLAVES. One-Fifth of American Children Between lO and 15 AVaare itarncrw. Good specimens of humanity, good specimens vt the genus homo, do cot grow in mines. In dungeons. In prisons or in treadmills, says a writer In Field and Stream. As the child Is physically, so is the man. The hope of England Is la her colonials. The hope of America Is In her countryfolk. The hope of American children Is In the outdoor clr. Surely If any In the world are entitled to unrestrained hours of light and life and sunshine, It Is the little children. Therein lies the hope of the country. And yet one-fifth of ail the children of the United States between the ages of 10 and 15 are at work. Thera are 2,000,000 little children working for wages In America to-day. Ihey are in tbe coal mines of Pennsylvania, the mills of New England, the factories of New Jersey, the cotton mills of the South owned by Northern capital. , They do not see the green grass, the blue sky at the very time of life when those things have their chlefest virtue In the foundation of physical health and vigor. They are slaves, and such pitiful slaves, ".Ittle white American slaves. They do not know the forests, the fields, the waters. As a nation we will pay the price for this, for all slave labor exacts an exorbitant price at one time or another. . At the present child labor does Its little best at swelling the enormous totals of American Industrial figures. These little children, who ought to be paddling In the water or rumtjig through the woods, help give us what we call our nATntnorH 1 tiinromn TV to fa rnl I for a time. This state of affairs will presently undermine that supremacy which now we claim. The sort of Americanism which we have to-day does not sem to us sane from any point of view, nor promising any sort oZ national excellence In the future. SEAT AND LIFE RAFT. Placed on Deck of Vesaela or Rearranged Into a Life Itaft. When traveling on t'e sea It would be a great comfort ti passengers to know that In case of a wreck or storm ample facilities were at hand to provide for such an emergency. The limited space on the majority of ocean liners does not permit of having on board many large lifeboats and rafts. An excellent scheme of two Canadian Inventors Is to combine the life raft with a bench or seat, whlcu can be placed on tbe decks for lounging purposes under ordinary conditions, but DECK SEAT AND LIFE BAFT. which can readily be rearnnged into a life raft in event of an energency. It is so constructed that In appearance It will represent two common deck seats, placed back to back. The backs are hinged to the seats of the benches, and the two edges of the backs also being hinged where they meet Incased In the framework of each o! the seats are airtight compartments, by which the raft Is rendered buoyant In the event of being placed or thrown In the water. When used as a life raft a fastening holding the two seat parts together is released, which allows the backs to assume a horizontal position In the water. At Napoleoii'a Tomb. Henry Vlgnaud, secretary of the American embassy at Paris, enjoys telling of an American who was being shown the tomb of Napoleon. As the loquacious guide referred to the various points of Interest In connection with the tomb, the American paid the greatest attention to all that was said. "This immense sarcophagus," declaimed the guide, "weighs forty tons. Inside of that, sir, Is a steel receptacle wrf?hinz twelve tons, and Inside of - -o o ' I that is a leaden casket, hermetically ' of that rests a mahogany eolTm containing the remains of the great man." For a moment the American was silent, as If In deep meditation. Then he said: "It seems to me that you've got him all right If he ever gets out, cable me t my expense."

Do not compel the young chickens to take to the roots until well feathered. If keepers on a harness are properly kept In repair they should be used and not left unused. Average eggs weigh about eight to the pound. One dozen eggs thus weigh one and one-half pounds. If the best profit is realized, not only the wool, but the mutton and the lamb must contribute their part. Where the proper separation cannot be secured and assured, the procuring of manly varieties cannot be too strongly guarded against The retail value of the vegetables which may be grown In a carefully planned aud well-kept garden greatly exceeds the cost of their production. The potato beetle Is said to have twenty"-fivc parasite enemies, yet, notwithstanding these and all sorts of poisons used in potato fields, It defies annihilation. Crooked rows do not admit of the lost cultivation. Where corn has been dropped out of line the crooked way, there should be a most excellent job of cultivation the first time over, for It cannot be lectifled the second. The man who says "I am afraid I c?n't succeed" had better lt the farm alone. The farmer of this age should come very near knowing what he intends to accomplish, and then he should go at it with "hammer and tongs." A good, big draft gelding Is the best proposition on the farm. He Is able to do good work and his owner can put his own price on him. The buyer wants him at almost any price. The demand for really good horses is greater than the supply. It is necessary to be very careful In turfing stock on clover or rape for the first time. One is too busy now to take time to bury the dead. Fill up the stock, turn them on and leave them there until fall. Herein lies the leas danger. . The English sparrow is insectivorous for a few days just as Its j'oung arc hatching, and only then. It Is because f this simple fact and the further fact that the sparrow Is an enemy of other birds that It is not included in the protective laws of the different States. Sheep are. high, and It would not be a good plan to go Into sheep raising on a large scale at this time by buying many. Put sheep raising very certainly will continue a good business, and it will be wise to buy any that can be had at a bargain wherever they are offered. There Is a good deal In knowing how to adjust the cultivator and the fenders fo that the. work is properly done. The fendtrs should be Just high enough so the pulverized dirt will fall under them aixl about the corn. Leaving a strip of uncultivated ground about six or eight Inches wide for fear of covering up some of the corn is a dangerous practice. The way to get ahead of the scarcity of help condition Is to combine several Implements In any way possible and let one man do two men's work. The man who drives one team attached to a harrow and leads another attached to another harrow Is hardly up to date. He should attach all the harrows side by side and drive the horses abreast That is the modern method. A certain county fair was once In the hands of some racehorse men, and It failed. It was recently reorganized by farmers and made a county agricultural fair, and all the farmers of that county brought their products and ßtock there and gave at least one day to It and It Is now on the road to success. To make a fair a success It must be made strictly a fair. and not a fraud. Th Agricultural Society of Indiana will expend $3.000 for an airship this year and will pay $1,025 In premiums. Farmers and stockmen who have seen enough "balloon business" would like to see the premium awards "balloonish." They would like to see something more given for stock and farm products. Fair managers should not lose sight of the necessity of attracting tha exLlbitor as well as the visitor. It has been well established by feeding that alfalfa Is excellent feed for horses. Fed with corn, it makes a wellbalanced ration for horser, though n change to oats ami bran mash occasionally Ls well for variety, as horsei will change in rations as well as other animals. Put alfalfa hay can always be relied on. It sometimes occurs that horsed will eat too much alfalfa hay, and care should be taken to regulate this. Cows will often get choked wjth a small potato or other hard substance in food. To relieve them, take of fine cut chewing tobacco enough to make a ball the size of a hen's egg; dampen It with molasses so It adheres closely, lift up the cow's head, pull the tongue forward aad crowd the ball as far down the throat as possible. In a short time It will cause sickness and vomiting and the obstruction will be thrown out. A man had a strawsttck in his field. He did not have time to. haul It away and plow the ground, so he forked the remaining straw jbout until it was quite equally distributed over the ground and planted potatoes under the straw. The potatoes came up through the straw, needed no cultivation and were not bothercM with weeds, and In the fall he reaped quite a crop of tubers. This Is a good way to utilize an old strawstack bottom. It is seldom that one who has always had a garden and enjoyed Its abundance of fresh fruits and vegetable rea.izes hovr large a part of the family bill of fare It furnishes or the value of the products which are got from It until he moves to a large city or U otherwise so situated as to be forced to rely entirely upon the grocer

or peddler. In udd'tion to being com pellen to pay ?nsh fur what before cosi little or nothing, the quality and freshness of the store or peddled products are usually much inferior to those got from the home garden but an hour 01 two before they are prepared for th table. A cireful accounting of the different items of household exiens would show the garden patch to be credited with a much larger amount than we are wont to think.

Very Destructive Deetle. The Plack Hills beetle has killed between 700.WHl.nci0 a ml 1.000,000,000 feet of timber In the Pdf ok Hills forest reserve. It Is also doing much harm in Colorado and New Mexico. The government has issued a pamphlet on the way to fight it by felling and barking infected trees. Care of the Farm Tool. If every farm contained a toolhouse. in which every tool was kept in Its place when not in use, there would be a great saving of time during the busy season. It often happens that the value of the time lost in seeking some too not in its place is greater than the cost of the tooj. Much of the loss of time and exposure of tools Is due to the lack of some suitable place for storage. H costs but little to build a toolhouse, and it need not be proof against heat or cold, the main point being a good roof so as to protect the tools and Implements from dampness. To MaUe u Concrete Wall. A concrete wall should not be less than one foot thick. Such a wall will not prevent frost entering unless It is furred and sealed on the' inside. It may be made double, leaving a dead air space In the center, which will prevent tbe frost from entering the basement The wall can be built by using planks twelve inches wide, set up in the shaie of a trough and filled solid with concrete. If a double wall is desired, it would be Itetter to use hollow concrete blocks which are manufactured for this purpose. A brick wall should be laid on either the outside or Inside cf the concrete blocks, which are. manufactured endwise against the concrete to make a dead-air space. To build a double wall of concrete would be exienslve. . - . Sold Ills Corn in llosa. One farmer engaged in the production of various tvvps suitable to loth field ii l orchard said that he had sold only one load of corn iu thirty-five years. He raises many acres of corn every year and always keeps enough hegs to consume it If he does not have enough hog3 of his own raising he goes out Into the country and buys them, paying often as much as $3 each. While making corn the single food of hogs Is not advocated, yet It Is be'eved that whtn other kinds of feed can be fed with It, It pays to feed It upon the farm. Every bushel of corn changed into pork should bring back a higher price than it would If sole" In the crude state. This Is true of course If it is fed with other feeds, such as grass In the summer time and clover hay and skim milk in the winter time. Tiro Dnirylnff Delnalona. The objection has been made that if all cows were brought up to a high standard of production It would bring down the p:ice of the products, said W. D. Hoard, of Wisconsin, at the late Illinois State Farmers Institute. Keeping roor, unfit cows for the purpose of holding up prices of butter and milk Is hard on the constitution. The surplus of dairy products comes from the cow that bring no profit to their owners. Eliminate the iiocr cows and there will be no surplus. Too many fanners keep their tyes on the market They cannot affect the price one dot or tittle. They can if they will reduce the cost of production. Lots of money Is to be made by a wiser administration of the farm end of the business. This is the only end that is wholly within our control, flight here reigns supreme the inau behind the cow. Succeaalve Crop of Corn. The modern methods cf agriculture tca:h that a rotation of crops is essential for the best results, and especially is it necessary In order to keep up soil fertility. A correspondent asks: "How can you recommend the rotation of crops so strongly when experiment stations grow corn j ear after year on the same field?" Our reader evidently refers to the work of the New Jersey experiment station, but either forgets to refer to their methods, or else ls not familiar with them. On this fanous farm the soil is kept in the highest state of fertility by proper methods, and while it is true that corn follow? corn. It Is only because clover is grown as well, the plan being to sow crlmsou clover at the last cultivation of th6 corn, which is used as green forage in the spring, and the corn stubble I plowed under and the same method again followed. If It were not for the high fertility of the crimson clover each year, It would not be possible to follow corn with corn year after year with profit Look Well to the Poultry. Whether the young birds are being raised to lay eggs later or for the carcass market, they need good care during the summer. It is not enough that they be turned onto the range; they must be carefully fed, so that they make the proper growth. This is especially necessary with the stock that is lelng raised for laying purposes. The range is essential, but no amount of grass will furnish all the food tbe growing chickens need. Let them have a liberal feed of grain in the morning before they are let out of the house and another at night when they come home to roost This will be all they need if they have a good rango except an abundance of fresh clean water and shade while on the range. If one has a large number of fowls, great care must be taken not only to have the poultry houses sweet and clean, but any portion of the grounds where they congregate in any number ought also to be kept clean, which Is best done by epading up the ground after scattering lime over it Do this several times during the summer, and there will be little danger of disease in the flocks.

SORES ON HANDS.

Suffered for a Long; Time Without Relief Doctor Afraid to Touch Them Cured by Cuticura. "For a long time I suffered with sores on the hands which were itching, painful, and disagreeable. I had three doctors and derived no benefit from any of them. One doctor said he was afraid to touch my hands, so you must know how bad they were; another said I never could be cured; and the third said the sores were caused by the dipping of my hands In water in the dyehouse where I work. I saw in the papers about the wonderful cures of the Cuticura Remedies and procured some of the Cuticura Soap and Cuticura Ointment. In three days after the application of the Cuticura Ointment my hands began to peel and were better. The soreness disappeared, and they are now smooth and clean, and I am still working in the dye-house. Mrs. A. E. Maurer, 2340 State St, Chicago, 111., July 1, 1903." Well Up In the Claaalc.

At the close of tbe exercises her friends crowded about her to offer congratulations.

(900) CHEATING AN EMPRESS. Spectacles of the Country Made to Order for m Journey of Catherine. Modern invention has provided every luxury for the Journeying monarch, but :he means and money of to-day do not furnish more remarkable nor costly journeys than one taken by Catherine :he Great, says the Youth's Companion. Catherine had made conquests In the Crimea, and her prime minister, Trince Cotemkin, persuaded her to visit her lew possessions. The precautions for ihe Journey took some time. Conveyinces had to be built and vessels got ready. The distance to be gone over Dy land was over 2,000 kilometers, and Tor a great part of tbe way the road had to be made. One herculean task .vas clearing the river Dnieper of danjerous rocks. In all, over 7,000,000 rubles were spent in this six months' louruey. The start was made In January, 1780. An immense sleigh had been built for the empress, fitted up as a room, in which eight persons could amuse themselves In comfort, playing :ards or consulting the books with tvhlch the walls were lined. Thirty horses drew this great vehicle; fresh relays awaited at every station. As'the weather was bitterly cold, huge bonSres were lighted at regular Intervals to temper the atmosphere. Every house in which tbe court rested was newly built or furnished. The inen and the service never did service jut once. At Kiev eight ships were waiting to X)nvoy the royal company. Handsome rooms were built on the deck, hung with silk and luxuriously furnished. Cut the strangest and most extravagant feature of the whole proceedings was the appearance of the country through which the river runs. The empress gazed in surprise at the wonderful and enchanting sights. Instead of the dreary desert she had "supposed, the prairies, stretching away on every hand, were covered with herds of sheep and goats, tended by gayly dressed shepherds playing on pipes. Picturesque towns and villages were peopled by youths snd maidens, who tripped down to tr.e shore singing quaint airs. Every stopping place rerealed such scenes, all strikingly alike. This was the secret of the Arcadian spectacle: Potemkln had forced all these people to , leave their homes in Little Russia and to betake themselves to the shore, so that Catherine and her jueüts in passing might see nothing but happy villages and loyal subjects. No sooner had the galleys moved on than the people, taking cross roads by uight, transplanted themselves to the uext sham village and v ent through the ?ame performances. . Over a thousand Tillages of Little Russia were depopulated In this manner. In their long journey home many of these forced actors died of fatigue and want. BACK TO PULPIT. What Food Did for a Clergryiuan. A minister of Elizabethtown tells how Grape-Nuts food brought him back to his pulpit: "Some five years ago I had an attack of what seemed to be La Grippe, which left me in a complete state of collapse, and I suffered for some time with nervous prostration. My appetite failed, I lost flesh until I was a xmere skeleton, life was a burden to me, I lost Interest in everything and almost in everybody save my precious wife. "Then on the recommendation of some friends I began to use Grape-Nuts food. At that time I was a miserable skeleton, without appetite and hardly able to walk across tbe room ; had ugly dreams at night, no disposition to entertain or be entertained and began to shun society. "I finally gave up the regular ministry ; Indeed I could not collect my thoughts on any subject, and became almost a hermit. After I had been using the Grape-Nuts food for a short time I discovered that I was taking on new life and my appetite began to improve; I began to sleep better and my weight Increased steadily; I had lost some fifty pounds, but under the near food regime I have regained almost my former weight and have greatly Improved in every way. "I feel . that I owe much to GrapeNuta and caD truly recommend the food to all vho require a powerful rebuilding agent delicious to tasto and always vWcome." Name given by Postum Co., Battle Creek, Mich. A true natural road to regain health, or hold It, Is by use of a dish of GrapeNuts and cream morning and night Or have the food made into some of the many delicious dishes given In the little recipe book found la pkgs. Ten days' trial of Grape-Nuts helps mauy. "There's a reason." Look in pkgs. for a copy of the famous little book, "The Koad to Well-fUla."

night Thinking? and Self-Control. Zopynis, the physiognomist said, "Socrates' features showed that he was stupid, brutal, sensual, and addicted to drunkenness." Socrates upheld the analysis by saying: "By nature I am addicted to all these sins, and they were only restrained and vanquished by the continual practice of virtue."
