Ambition.
ooxmcious that it had done so, thut
practically the same motive Inspire
kings as inspire other people. Among
them are desire for completeness and
a desire for larger resources. Am
bition is not simply the infirmity of
noble minds, bat it is the infirmity
if it be an infirmity of all minus.
Tbe question, tuus, is not whether a
man is ambitious, but whether his
ambition is a noble one, and whether
be chooses honorable means to
achieve it. One that strives merely
to be the richest man in his com
munity must be condemned, not be
cause he is ambitions, but because
fcto aim is low and sordid. So it is
with most of the craving for power,
end practically all the atrife for rec-
ognltion by fashionable aocietv. But
h- desire to accomnliah thinirs ia to
, a
be commended. The man who longs
to be honestly useful to his fellows !
to a good citiien. Even the desire to
excel others in accomplishments, in
professional skill and in general effi
ciency Is the prerequisite to social
progress. And back of it all is that
desire for completeness which is said
to be so powerful with kings. The
man who finishes his work complete
ly, who writes a book as though it
were to be his last and the one by
which he might be judged centuries
hence, who does what he is told to
do and a great deal more, is an am
bitious man. The question is one of
ideals and tendencies. One can hard
ly pursue a good ideal with too great
fervor or intensity. To those who
may say that it is hardly necessary
to preach such a gospel as this to the
men of this generation, it may be an
swered that it is always well to in
sist on the necessity for honest, com
plete and whole-hearted work. The
corrective to the false ambitions that
we see all about us is not to decry
ambition altogether, but to divert it
into right channels, and to make the
most out of the energy that flows
from the desire to conquer or excel.
Power is perhaps the one thing wnlch
most successfully eludes pursuit and
which is most deadly when gained by
a too strenuous effort This is be
cause In most such cases it is desired
for its own sake or for selfish pur
poses. The men who want to use t
for the general good do not often
struggle greatly for it. The ambition
of kings Is simply the ambition of
humanity on a larger and wider
scale.

A Kansas weather prophet named
Kropff made the prediction early in
the spring that the wheat crop would
be practically ruined by drought.
Now that the crope are in such fine
haps and rain has been abundant,
Mr. Kropff doea not seek to excuse
himself. On the contrary, he ssys:
"If there is a good crop I shall take
It as a dispsnsatlon from the Lord
oot to talk so much." Kropff has
learned his lesson well. It is a
shams that otnera cannot do the

seriously many little neighborhoods

of the kind that has been supposed to
possess some specific property against
the disease, says the Review of Re
views. The benefits from mild ell

to the effect of the outdoor life that
the climate encourages. But whatever
the advantages of such a climate they
are liable to be offset by the depress

of New York, who expresses his thor

Of course, rich men have right to
do as they please with their money,
and can select their own beneficiaries.
Those who contribute to the oauso of
education do wisely and well. But
would it not be wiser and better, sug
gests the Buffalo Times, if some of
this vast amount of money were ex
pended in establishing kindergartene
and playgrounds for tho children of
the poor, instead of lavishing it all
upon the "higher education' of ths
sons of the rich?
One of the oMcials of the Philadel

our banks here are ever glad to rid
themselves of their surplusage in
these coins. IX Is diflloult to see why
such a Btato of things should be."

SOLID EARTH ROADS.
toiler Favorable Conditions They
Are the Most I'lrukiml for lrlv
Iuk mid eat fur Horses.
Prof. Charles H. I'ettee, of the New
Hampshire agricultural college, says:
An earth road is one SUrfaosd with
a large par cent, of earth, which may
be sand, elay, hardpan, loam, or a
mixture of some ol these, A very
common idea of tin earth road is one
surfaced with the nutural material
where tho road is built. This de
scription, though generally charac
teristic1, does not give the true dis
tinction between these and gravel
ones and may convey an entirely
wrong impression. The true distinc
tion lies in thu predominance of
earth over rock or the reveres in ths
surfacing material. Again, it will be
seen thut the gravel road is inter
mediate between the earth snd the
macadam and that there Is no abso
lute Una separating the earth from
the gruvel or the gravel from the
macadam. The latter statement will
appear evident if we consider that It
makes no difference whether the
stoun for a macadam rond bus been
prepared by a stone erushef or
broken by tho processes of uature
and deposited in gravel banks during
the glaaiul epoch.
The earth road, under favorable
conditions of moisture and repair,
is tho smoothest, most elastic, and
most pleasant for pleasure driving
of any In existence, it is safest for
horses' feet nnd, where the. natural
soil is favorable, is by far the cheap
est, both ns regards construction and
repair. On tho other hand, if It Is
an ideal Rummer road, it is reason
ably sure to be muddy ami rough for
perhaps two months in ths spring
as well ns during tho following heavy
rains at other seasons. In short, its
perfection for all seasons is appar
ently impossible and it depends upon
coustant, though Inexpensive, atten
tion to minute repairs for Its favor
able condition during a limited sea
son. It thus nppenrs that. If vre aim at
durabMty, nothing less than a body
of roek will keep us up out of the
mud In the spring; that this will
render the surface too dry for com
fort sad dnrnbillty during ths sum
mer, ami that the mora expensive
and more perfect the surface con
structed upon this foundation, the
more expensive and mors difficult
the matter of repair. In the city
sprinkling has given greater durabil
ity ami comfort to the macadam sur
face, and the heavy expense for con
struction and maintenance can often
be easily borne. In the country theae
favorable conditions are usually ab
sent. Some have attempted to And ra
the gswvet road the safe middle
course between the earth aad the
macadam. Tey do not, however, ap

Bmoothness, elasticity, freedom froas

WHEN THE BEES STING.
Simple llonsehold Remedies That Ave
Helpful to Iteduce Swellloar
and Relieve Fain.
As the sting of a bee is considered
to be acid, an alkali should be em
ployed to relieve it. Ammonia or
soft soap would therefore be a good
applioation.
In au emergency any of the fol
lowing might be helpful to reduce
swelling or to relieve pain: Vinegar,
livo oil, raw onion, paste made of
clay and water, or flour and water,
r saU and water, tobacco juice, tiuo
ture of arnica, honey or 'laudanum.
If a person be not exceedingly
nervous, ami excitable, cold water
tpplled constantly to the wound will
be a good remedy.
Bee stings are exceedingly danger
ous to some people. A well known
gentleman wus stung by a bee near
the base of the brnin, and the poison
killed him in a few minutes in spite
of heroic remedies.
A bec sting ubout the face is liable
lo produce large swellings, and they
have been known to fester and
threaten blood poisoning in a few
hours.

The bankruptcy act forbids prefer
ences to creditors, requiring any cred
itor who has been preferred to sur
render what he has received if he pro
poses ba prove any claimi or receive
any dividends. By the recent decision
It is established that the receipt of
money by a creditor within four
months of the time when a petition in
bankruptcy is filed by or against the
person making the payment, consti
tutes a preference. Thus, if A sells U
11 a bill of (foods amounting to $-,oou,
and is paid in cash, and thereupon sells
him another bill of goods for $4,UUU on
0 days' credit, within which time 1!
goes into bankruptcy, A becomes a
preferred creditor. If he proposes to
claim his $4,000, he must give up his
$2,000. If he wants to keep his $2,000,
he must give up his $4,000. The fact
that he had DO intention of obtaining
a preference, or that his debtor hi
