Brooks Brothers Open Road,
There are many things one can do
for the good of the community with-
out the expenditure of much money or
inconvenience, and if sll would do
what they could without having in
miod constantly the direct return of
the dollar, every locality wouid be
much better ofl in every way, Asan
filustration : Toe beginning of the
week nearly every road needed open
ing, and iostead of waiting on the
townehip supervisors to perform this
work Mesars. Richsrd and Cioyd
Brooks hitched their teams to sleds,
first fastening two logs to the resr
and drove over the roads in their
locality. The portion of the roads
thus driven over were al once easily
passable by others, and thus a great
service to the ¢communily waa per
formed, There are many other
things all of us ould do If we would,
that would be greatly beneficial to the

done wou'd be a plesssure to the doer
as well as 8 benefit to all,

Weekly Outing of Algerian Ladies.

cemetery of El Kettar, a great man
who is worshiped as a saint. The cem-
etery where his body reposes is the
one place in all Algiers where the wo-
men of the harems can feel the fresh
air of heaven on their faces. And
that is allowed only once a week, on
Friday, when they are permitted to
unveil and sit and chat together with-
in the cemetery precincts, It was a
curious sight as 1 entered, and it sug-
gested resurrection morn, Fully fifty
ghrouded white figures were scattered
about the grounds, sitting on graves,
their bodies and covered by
white robes, but their faces partly re-
vealed. There was a small percentage
of pretty faces and those belonged to
the very young women. The middle
aged were plain, with that plainness
which proceeds from a dull mind and
an uneventful life. —~Ella Wheeler Wii-
