ROADS AND PATHS FOK RURAL HOMES. Tlio most apparent weak spot poceptihlo in tho arrangement of tin- ordinary country place is in the roads aud paths. Having had many opportunities of noting this and of repairing mistakes in this way, it has seemed to me a useful matter to bring to notice in your columus, especially at this time, when such work as this may be most conveniently and cheaply done. Such work must be like the typical chain, free from any single weak link, or the whole of it is spoiled. Indeed, it is much worse, for the broken chain may be repaired and made good by one new link, but an imperfect path or road cauuot be so patch ed, for it will be then more con spicuously imperfect than any .common kind of earth or gravel .way, because of its greater pre tensions. But while this work is more costly than any other kind at the start, if it is done in the righfc way, it is permanent for a lifetime, except for such small wear and tear by use as may be replaced with very little work and expense. Koaiis and paths are mostly weakened by waut of a sufficient ly compact substratum or foun dation, aud by want of thorough drainage. Both these faults load to freezing of the foundation and . the lifting of the work done, which is then ruined at once, because water is admitted under the work and every freeze lifts and breakes the work, if it does not destroy the substratum aud foundation of the surface, making a complete wreck of the whole. Thus it is indispensable that the foundation be solid, aud free from all defects. It must be dry naturally, or drain ed to make it dry. Otherwise the freezing of the. subsoil will lift and disturb the surface, and soon break it into fragments, through the openings of which water will sink, and thus quickly wreck the whole thiug. Some skillful work is necessary to secure this proper foundation. An excellent method is to hollow the sub-surface after grading it. so as to throw the drainage into the m iddle of the road or path, and so avoid any probable break ing down of the sides in places where the paths are made ou sloping ground. Further securi ty is gained by grading the road or path on such ground so as to leave the inner side lower than the outside, and thus throw the drainage t3 the bank, from which it will gradually sink down to the drain tiles. In laying these tiles, it Ls proper to leave the joints open, and never to closo them with cement, as is sometimes done by iuexperieuced persons, and thus the whole end and pur pose of the drains is prevented, for the water always enters the tiles at the joints. The bed of the road is dug out to a sufficient depth at least four inches for a footpath, or six for a carriage road. There are two sep arate systems of road making in use the macadam and the tel ford. The latter is the better. The macadam is made by filling with broken stone, without any foundation, while the telford is rrta&e by placing ou end in the ex cavation the larger stones as com pactly as possible on the prepar ed bed or foundation, and so plac iug them that the largest end is set dowuward, thus leaving pro jecting poiuts or ends at the top having spaces between them, into which the broken or crushed Btone is thrown and compactly fammed. This is evidently pro ductive of a binding effect on the foundation, as well as on the sur face. These are both so com pactly united by this act as to bo- come practically a single solid bed of crushed stono, sufficiently por ous to permit ample drainage of the surface, but at the same time irremovable by any weight that may be placed on it, even that of a narrow tire of a wagon or car riage wheel. Two inches of this coarsely-crushed stoue is thus spread, and rolled over and over again, or rammed by hand with a heavy rammer, made as shown in the illustration, when the work is not sufficiently extensive to need machinery. This rammer is a block of heavy hard' wood, shod with a stout irou ring at the bottom to prevent splitting. For light work this is sumcieut, but for the coarser heavier work the whole bottom is made of a solid thick footing of steel. The effect of it is to pack the broken stoue so that it binds tirinly the whole surface, and then a sufficient dressing of coarse sand spread on it, and left to be worked down into the road by sweeping with stiff heavy brooms completes the road so far. This dressing of saud should not be overdone, or the first heavy rain will wash it into the drains and so do mischief ; but it is repeated as it gradually settles down into the roadbed, and in time forms a solid bed of compact but porous sub stance, which is smooth, durable, always dry, and pleasaut to drive or walk over. A roadway or footpath made in this way is kept in fine condition by sufficient sweeping with the ordinary stiff-headed road broom with which the city road sweep ers do their work. But it is only as a matter of precaution, and to avoid any possible damage by storms that this small attention is required ou a road thus made with every care to have good work done. It has neon my experience that any well instructed gardener or farm foreman, who is provided with sufficient materials and has the above directions given to him, will bo able to do the work iu such a substantial and accurate man ner that the roads and paths so made will be pleasing to view, pleasaut for use, durable and economical.

In his statement before the committee of the United States treasury and postoffice depart ments Mr. C. W. Post, inventor of the Post check system, furnish ed some interesting figures. Mr. Post said that from statis tics secured by writing to many of the large catalogue houses, publishers and manufacturers who do a large mail order busi ness he has been able to compute the amount of money transmitted through the mail in small sums and finds that $2,000,000 pass through the mail annually. It was urged that the government will receive a greater revenue from the stamps canceled on bills than it now derives from money orders and that the now system will bo much more convenient for all persons who remit and receive money in small sums through the mails.

THE GREATEST OF THESE IS CHARITY. A geat multitude, consisting of representatives of each species of the animal kingdom, once assem bled to discuss questious of inter est relating to their several kinds. After adjusting hisglasses with his hoof, the President arose to the full dignity of his position and iu stentoriau tones, accompanied by a sharp rap of the gavel, called the meeting to order. The baoel of the voices of the equines, ca uiues, felines and feathered crea tures floated away ou the balmy spring air, and silence immediate ly prevailed; whereupou the big equine who occupied the chair proceeded to deliver his address : "Beloved Fhiknds : I stand before you to-daj' with a heart full of gratitude for the efforts that have been made by our dear human frieuds in our behalf dur iug the past year. But my spirit sinks and my faith wanes when I think of the poor suffering ones whose burdens have not been lightened because of the lack of funds of the Humane Societies through the indifference of many to the woes of the, dumb and help less. The cruel disposition to iu llict suffering upon animals which though unable to express their thoughts in the manner of words, feel as deeply aud suffer as great ly as the beings called human, still remains in largo degree un checked. "I have prepared this address, my pen dipped in my heart's blood and my eyes bed i mined with tears, thinking of the suffer ings of theauimal kingdom inflict ed by Man ! "May we all pray and believe that the day will soon dawn when civilization will demand the exer cise of humane principles toward the brute creation, animated by the spirit of love." A storm of applause followed this utterance, awakening the sleeping echoes and tossing them from corner to corner. When quiet was restored the President called for a report from the Com mitteo on Legislation. A beautiful bay, with streaming mane and stately poise, made his way to the platform. "Sir," he said, with a graceful bow, "it gives me great satisfac tion to state that there are now before the Congress of Humans certain measures of deep interest to us, including a bill for the reg ulation of vivisoctiou aud a bill to prohibit docking. But, friends, these measures languish for ac tion, and the dark ages seem to be upon the earth again. Was ever practice so cruel as docking ? It is sacriligious that the Creator of all beings, who made our race with gracefully flowing, useful tail, should be so ridiculed and dishonored by his own children who cut these members iu order to satisfy a mere whim of the ty rant Fashion ? "In addition to the measures now pending a bill should be pre sented prohibiting the clipping of horses during the winter months; also abill compelling owners of horses and mules to provide hats for them during the excessive hot weather. "When our friends shall have secured such legislation iu all parts of the world, we and the spirits of those gone before will rise up and call them blessed; yes the generations to come shall praise them." Wild cheers arose at the conclu sion of the iiay's impassioued and brilliant effort. "Wo will now listen to " A disturbance at the rear of the hall interrupted the President. Tho swift patter of tiny feet head ing straight forthedesk was heard and one of tho delegates lifted to view a little Yorkshire pup, only ten weeks old, who should have been at home with his playthings instead of assuming the platform at a convention. "Talking about docking tails," he plaintively lisped, "I want to know why you can't make them stop docking my tail ! I overheard my mistress say last night that she was going to have my tail cut because a Yorkshire pup never looked well with a Jong tail ! Can't such cruelty be stopped, too ?" Taking advantage of this inter ruption a sleek, genteel aud well fed tabby made her way to the front, where she gently purred forth the unhappy condition of some of her kind who, unfed, Ill treated aud homeless, are left to the abuse of the world instead of being taken to tho cat haven to be mercifully put to death. Her wail of despair was follow ed by a high-sounding speech from a young bantam rooster, who Hew over the heads of the assemblage, his wings not being cut. In a praucing manner he sot forth tho needs of his Constituents declaring that if they must bo packed for trani)ortation they must have larger boxes and pleu ty of water ; also, that if they must be carried through the streets to be sold, they must bo carried with their heads up! "Will tho chairman of tho ways and means committee please come forward A noblo black horso responded to this invitation. "Friends, I will state briefly the following suggestions : Litera ture relating toour needs and tho work of tho humane society, should bo scattered broadcast to educate the masses iu the duty of humanity. Tho public be stirred by appeals through the press to give more geuerous ly in order that more agents majT be employed by the society, with the power to arrest and prose cute those who cruelly afflict ani mals. And friends, we can so conduct ourselves that through good behavior and patience we may win new members and aid for the Society. "Before closing," said the President, "it is better that we offer resolutions thanking the humane society for the drinking fountains erected in our behalf these oases in a desert of asphalt, a great boon to weary and thirsty animals, and in some instances, the only meaus for many to obtain water." Resolutions were offered in memory of those killed through cruel treatment. Whereupon the gathering adjourned. Vacation Days. Vacation time is here and the children are fairly living out of doors.

"I used De Witt's Witch Hazel Salve for sores cuts and bruises," say sL. B.John son, Swift, Tex. "It is the best remedy on the market." Sure cure for piles and skin diseases. Beware of counterfeits. A CRAFTY BURGLAR. Tho cold gray dawn is stealing through the windows. Tho burglar is stealing inside the house. His foot strikes a chair. Crash ! From the up-stairs rooms come sounds of people moviug about and conversing in sleepy tones. Acting with the quickuoss of one who has a trained mind and understands human nature, the burglar seizes tho call-bell on the tableaud rings the rising sum mous for the family. In a moment the sounds of snores fill the house. Ah, the rising-bell is better than tho knockout drop. Judge. TreatYour Kidneys For Rheu matism.

OUR OPENING spring and summer 1902.. T. J. WIENER. Hancock, - ANECDOTES OF THE NAVY. When tho Constitution had cleared for action, and was bear ing down to engage with the Guerriere, Mr. Morris, the first officer, came to Commodore Hull and said that he ought to make a speech to the men ; that they ex pected that he would say some thing to them. Commodore Hull was no speechmaker, but it being expected, lie replied : "Well, Mr. Morris, pipe the men aft." The boatswain's whistle rang out, and when they were assembled aft Commodore Hull said : "Men, you see that big ship off there ? Well, that is a British frigate. If we capture her it is $i)00 apiece iu your pockets. Pipe to quarters, Mr. Morris ; pipe to quarters." The men gave three rousing cheers, aud went to their stations in high good humor. Another incident may be rela ted. It so happened just before war was declared that the Con stitution aud Guerriere were both lying at anchor in Hampton Roads, and the commanders, as naval officers, were interchang ing courtesies, dining and taking wine together, aud on one occa sion, after Captain Dacres had shown Captam Hull through the ship, Captain Hull said : "Take good care of this ship, Crptain Dacres, for if we have war, aud I meet her on the high sea, I shall capture her." Captain Dacres derisively laughed and replied : "I'll bet you a hundred guineas you won't." "Oh, no!" rejoined Captain Hull. "I can't bet you a hundred guineas, but I will bet you a hat." After the capture of the Guerriere Captain Dacres came aboard the Constitution and approached to surrender his sword, when Commodore Hull ex claimed : "No, no ! No matter about your sword. I don't want that, but I'll trouble you for that hat." Don't Fail To Try This.

Jt is estimated that there are about fifty thousand college grad uates in the United States, or about oue in fifteen hundred of the seventy-six millions. This is a little handful of men, and yet out of this group more than 50 per cent, of our leading men, such as Congressmen, Senators, Su preme Court Judges and Presi dents are drawn. More than 70 per cent, of our leading clergy men, lawyers, physicians and au thors are college graduates. It will be seen that to be a success ful professional man, or a leading man in civft. life, the college grad uate has an advantage over other men in something like the pro portion of one thousand to one. It is for each young man to ci pher out for himself whether the advantage seems sufficiently great to lead him to desire and strive for a college education. The majority of college stu dents to-day in the United States are professing Christians. Sta tistics have been secured on this point so often that there need be no suspicion as to the statement. Some one a short time ago secur ed figures from fifty-four colleges thirty-five of which were church colleges and the remaining nine teen undenominational and State institutions. Among these he found that 77 per cent, of the Sen iors in Congregational colleges are Christians, 82 per cent, in Presbyterian colleges, 08 in Bap tist, 72 in Methodist, 73 in other church colleges, 62 in the unde nominational, and 47 in the State institutions, or a largo majority in all.
