AUTOS HAVE THEIR TROUBLES.
The Danville Netcs has the fol
lowing appropriate remarks about
automobiles and other vehicles:
"It is a common thing nowadays
for the automobilist to loom up as
the object of criticism and censure,
especially in the rural districts and
small town, wheie he may yield to
the temptations to oveistep the
speed limit and otherwise disregard
the rights of the natives.
A well known resident of the
ounty who owns an automobile,
lrings in a complaint that affords
tax instance in which the autoist has
grievance a real one and that
too on the rural roads.
Briefly stated the complaint re
lates to the practice frequently in
dulged in by persous on the country
highways, of neglecting to drive to
one side to enable an automobile
that is following to pass on ahead.
It is charged that in very many in
stances the most insolent disregard
is shown for the automobilist by the
driver of the conveyance ahead,
who disregarding the repeated toot
ing of the horn continues to bold
the middle of the road. It is rather
the exception than the rule that the
country road is wide enough to en
able an automobile to swing around
a vehicle without the latter yielding
a part of the road. The conse
quence is that in not a few instances
the automobile is held down to such
a low speed by the driver ahead
that the chauffeur is obliged to stop
his machine.
All this, it must be admitted is
very annoying to the party in the
automobile and shows a very dis
courteous and inconsiderate spirit
on the part of the driver of the ve
hicle. The rules of the highway
that relate to carriages would cer
tainly apply to automobiles. It
would be difficult to find a man
with proper self respect and due
consideration for others, who, driv
ing along the country road, would
refuse to turn aside to permit a
person driving a faster horse to pass,
especially if the latter requested it.
As far as the rights of the highway
are concerned the automobile is on
the same footing as the carriage,
assuming that it conforms with
roles and regulations as tu speed,
etc.
Hardly any one at this day is in
the dark as to the laws that govern
the highway. In addition the ele
ment of common courtesy enters
into it and no person driving, if he
has the instincts of a true gentle
man, need err or give offence in
dealing with automobilists.
At the same time, while demand
ing the rights accorded him by law,
the automobilist while on the coun
try roads should be careful that he
himself does not give offence in
some of the various ways in which
the autoist is apt to offend. If
there is any real prejudice against
the automobile in the rural sections,
t is feared that it has been engen
dered by a disregard of reasonable
rules and regulations laid down for
observance.
Mere prejudice, however, should
have no influence. The only just
course is to hold each autoist re
sponsible for his own infractions.
3y no means impose hardships on a
whole class because of the thought
lessness or neglect of a few."
To Keep Salt Dry.
"To prevent salt in saltcellars
from becoming damp and lumpy,
when filling them put in ten to
:welve pieces of rice," says Wom
tn's Jlome Companion for Septem
ber. "This will not come through
.be holes in the cover of the salt
cellars, but will break the lumps of
salt and gather the moisture; thus
the salt is always dry and fine."

Out of the Ginger Jar.
A thing of beauty U a Joy forever;
But a thing of duty in a job more clever
Prepare for a rainy day before
the clouds begin to gather.
What kind of essence does a
young man like when he pops the
question ? Acquiesence.
When a dozen things crowd at
once, it takes a level headed man
to hustle and not get rattled.
There are various and several
kinds of undesirable trusts, but
trusting to luck is the extreme limit.
A young society woman likes to
get on to a new wrinkle, while the
older ones endeavor to get rid of it.
A good deal is written about the
June bride, but the young man who
marries in September, if he is the
right sort, will never have occasion
to regret it.
Remember, it is looking down
that makes one dizzy. Look up,
and your brain clears, your heart
grows calm, your strength comes to
you for every task and every emer
gency,, If a man wears his trousers out
at the bottom he's generally a vag
abond; if at the knees he's religious,
or a good orchardist; but if in the
seat he's either a wagoner or lazy
as Peter Tumbledown.
There are many men who do not
place a true valuation upon their
wives until they have lost them,
and are obliged to hire only mod
erately interested housekeepers to
whom they must pay real wages.

From NnnnRlmo comes the story
of nn cnterprlHlng Government fish
eries official who Is enlisting the ser
vices of thousands of sea gulls In the
task of cleaning up tho Immense
number of dead herring dropped
overboard by boats at the different
wharves where cargoes are loaded
on the vessels.
While making his rounds one day,
this party tied up his gasolene
launch at one of the wharves while
figuring out the best method of at
tempting to remove the fish. Neglect
ing to switch off the power the pro
peller churned up the water to such
an extent that a large number of
dead herring came to the surface,
thousands of sea gulls immediately
swooping down and glutting them
selves on the fish.
The experiment was made at sev
eral of the other wharves and In
every case the gulls performed tho
task which would hnve entailed con
siderable expense had It been don
by manual or mechanical labor.

A Novel Ilottle.
In furnishing Information con
cerning Calcutta's supply of the va
rious "soft" drink), Consul General
William H. Michael refers as follows
to an Improved bottle In ubb:
This bottle Is so blown as to con
tain In tho neck a round glass stop
per, which Is forced upward by tho
gas In the bottle and holds the pa
perrectly. An expert can remove
half the contents of one of thece bot
tles and by a shake force the ball up
Into the neck and tiius preserve the
remaining half for future use. It
Is an Ingenious device and every way
superior to the old-style corks. Jn
opening a bottle a wooden, cup
shaped device which fits Into tho hol
low of the hand and contains a short
nipple, is placed over and against the
glass ball stopper and pressed down
ward. This causes the ball to drop
down into the neck of the bottle, pre.
vents too rapid escape of gas and
fcam, and, if only part of the con
tents is required, the ball may be
forced back into position as stODncr.
The Vanished Flocks.
Up In the garret's dusky gloom,
Under the rafters, cobwebbed, gray,
Quaint and strange is the old hand
loom, .
Shut from the busy world away.
Ouee where the brake and fern grow
wild,
And the gray rocks break through
New England sod,
A hundred Hocks climbed the rugged
slopes,
Waving now witli the goldenrod.
Food and raiment alike they gave
To the dwellers then Jn the farm
house old;
And peace and contentment reigned
within,
When the flock was safe in the win
ter fold.,
Warm is the sun on the jsture lands,
Bunny and smiling and still they lie;
But where are the Hocks that climbed
the hills,
Under the blue of the summer sky ?
Daisies and brake and goldenrod,
Riot over the rough, gray rocks,
Field and fold and the old hand-loom,
They are waiting yet for the vanish
ed flocks.
