XVTu u the ladies seriously take hold
of a. project, it i - pretty safe to assume
that tliey will succeed. But it is as
village improvers tliat they have never
been known t<> fail v. hen onee they
started lu. A c ase in point is the trans
formation w Oxford, an old town in
the interior of Now York.
Three parks were set apart by the
pioneers originally, but after I<X> years
tliey were little icgarded by the people
then living within sight of them. They
were overrun with weeds aud brush.
Trees began to grow promiscuously in
one, while the lines of another were
broken down, and It became a mud
hole.
One afternoon two women were look
ing out on the plot called Lafayette
square. A 111 11«• stream was stagnating
through its center. Drivers and pedes
trians had no consideration for the
struggling grass.
Tin' two talked with other women,
and a meeting of women was called to
devise ways and means of improving
the village. A permanent organization
was formed, and a president, vice pres
ident, treasurer and secretary were
elected. A board of directors and an
executive committee were also appoint
ed, and a constitution and bylaws were
adopted.
Organization was perfected in Sep
tember, the objects of tl»e society were
made known throughout the commu
nity, ami the work of improving the
village began at the home of each of
the 20 members. The majority of the
people said, "You can never accomplish
anything." Hut the women entered en
thusiastically upon their enterprise.
They wrought changes in their own
dooryards. They exchanged "slips" of
hardy plants, purchased the roots of in
expensive but pretty shrubs. By order
ing together and purchasing at whole
sale they were able to save much. All
orders were shipped to the president
of the society, and the expressage on
individual packages was saved for the
purchase of more shrubs.
It was an aggressive campaign. The
rubbish which ha J accumulated in the
corners of the fences was clear* <1
away. Old fences were replaced by
new ones or repaired or removed en
tirely. The women made beautiful
lawns about their homes and planted
vines to spread over walls and fences.
Ornamental shrubbery was set out;
pretty evergreen or deciduous trees
were procured from the forest near by
and set in rows where the crumbling
fences once stood. New sidewalks were
laid. As the village was noted for its
deposit of bitter-tone, handsome stone
walks were pio: hi <1 cheaply. As soon
as these were laid it was seen to be
essential that wide gutters should be
made, and with the gutters came grad
ing the streets and removing weeds and
stones. Attention was given to back
door yards that faced the railroad.
Weeds aud brush had overrun them,
and they had become a dumping
ground. Hack doors and barns which
had never known a coat of color were
painted, and the weather beaten, tum
ble down board fences were replaced
by neat white pickets.
A subscription was finally started for
funds to restore the parks. People were
asked to give anything from a cent up.
A New England supper was given, and
It proved to be so pleasant and success
ful that it lias been repeated annually.
The society was able to swell the con
tributions by the proceeds from a series
of entertainments, embracing concerts,
theatricals and lectures, which found
ready favor. These also were found so
profitable in every sense that they have
been continued.
The money having finally been raised,
a committee of three was appointed
to arrange for grading and curbing La
fayette square, the dimensions of which
were 180 by <l2 feet. A handsome foun
tain was given as a memorial to a for
mer resident by his sons at a cost of
SI,OOO and was formally dedicated to
the village. The expense of the grad
ing, curbing, setting the fountain and
the village.
Washington park was next made de
lightful. Graveled walks were wound
through it, in place of aggressive weeds
lawn grass seed was sown, ground was
spaded up and cultivated plants set
out; mountain ash, weeping willow and
balsam trees were placed here and
there, and wild clematis and atnpelop
sis were so planted that they would
in time overrun the tops of these trees.
Hollyhock trees were secured, and as
ters, hydrangeas and wild roses were
arranged in pretty vistas. Finally fall
en aud decayed timber, stumps, weeds
and rubbish were taken from Fort II ill
park, which was covered over with
rich soil and seeded down and is now
nil attractive green plot of three-quar
ters of an acre surrounded by a tine
curbing. The three parks are <;. red for
at comparatively "mall expend: .re.

The grass was never cut, and the
grounds were fast b. ■■tt:dag impene

ed the old cemetery of debris and reset
the ancient shafts, uet-ioving the ashes
of some of the forefathers of the ham
let to the new and handsome burial
grounds on the hill across the river.
The grass is now mowed regularly, the
wild brambles are subdued, and thv

The tribes on the coast of British Co
lumbia hold a festival In the autumn,
the crowning item of which is the par
taking of a few spoonfuls of a bowl of
soapsuds.
They gather in the dingy huts, which
arc hung with the staple food—dried
salmon. For light they stick into the
ground, head downward, a silvery fish
about five inches long, set fire to the
tail, and tliey have a torch, for the fish
burns steadily.
After eating of various unsavory
foods there comes the great treat. This
Is a bowl of a frothy, soapy mixture,
obtained by crushing in a notoverclean
manner the sapoliti, or soap berries,
and squeezing out the juice. This Is as
much li e soapsuds as it is possible to
conceive. The natives sip it from
spoons of black wood, neatly carved,
of which tl;t y think a great deal.

There are people who say that the
benefit derived from the use of put-up
medicines is imaginary. It is not the
case with l)r. Pierce's Favorite Prescrip
tion, which makes weak women strong
and sick women well. A woman may
' imagine she's weak, or may faucv she's
sick, but imagination ain't add forty
pound* to her weight. The jxisitive
proof of the curative power of " Favorite
Prescription" is found in the restoration
of health which is recorded in face aud
form, of strength which can lie tested,
! and weight which can be registered in
I pounds and ounces.
The general health of women is so
intitnatk.lv connected with the local
health of the womanly organs that
when tlu are diseased the whole body
suffers los-:. Dr. Pierce's Favorite Pre
scription cures womanly diseases. It
establishes regularity, stops weakening
drains, heals inflammation and ulcera
! tion and cures female weakness.

OUR WEATHER CODE.
01111 Words I himl to Save Kipen**
unit Time in Tcleiiruplii an.
"Indianapolis Detail Kugbolt
< a I'.ufority —Clubfoot Fade —
V.." This is the message sent out
fn .11 the weather bureau on the last
day of February. The message trans
la! ! ;• "barometer, 30.1-1; temper
ature. ::j: afternoon rep »rt. snowfall .IS
- southeast wii.ds with snow—velocity
of wind tin miles an hour—maximum
temperature :;s nimbus clouds entirely
covered blowing from the east total
amount of precipitation 1.(10 and mean
temperature -1 two inches of snow."
This is the weather report for Feb.
28, which was placed 011 the wire
and sent to Washington and other
weather observatories throughout the
Fnited States. The condensation of
the report into cipher accomplishes two
purposes. It reduces the cost of trans
mission and saves time.
The intricacy of this code can only
be conjectured when the great vocabu
lary it has to cover is considered. The
system is so arranged that the vowels
each have a certain value, representing
a decimal, a unit of ten, similar to the
metric system of calculation, and their
power is denoted by their relation to
consonants placed before or after the
vowel. This cipher does not apply to
all the code, as certain expressions
have their individual word. The code
for these words is alphabetically clas
sified for the convenience of the clerks
and observers, as their infrequent use
does not allow a familiarity that
makes it possible to read at sight, but
they have to be translated by the aid
of the key. In the message "yaf" rep
resents two inches of snow, and an
other combination of letters beginning
with "y" designates a different pre
cipitation of snow.
Few messages are alike. A large
sheet is received at the weather bu
reau each evening shortly after 8
o'clock beariifg the reports in cipher
of observatories in various parts of
the country. A code message from
Memphis received ou the same day
that the above was sent from Indian
apolis reads in cipher, "Barmaid—Ly
den Mean I'.arnable —'Winnow—Ceu-
taph I'er feet—Forgave." Translated
it reads, "Barometer, 30.1 ii; tempera
ture, 52; afternoon report, .'-4 inches
precipitation fell during 12 hours from
8 a. m.to 8 p. ut. —south wind and
cloudy weather velocity of wind ten
miles an hour, with maximum temper

p. 111. and running for three hours—.B
alto stratus clouds front the southwest
—west wind blowing 111 miles an hour
—total mouth precipitation, l.bo inches;
average temperature, 42."
In many respects the message is sim
ilar to the tirst one, but 111 * cipher is
entirely different, showing no apparent
likeness. So the messages read all the
way down the page, and a clerk can
take each of them off without hesita
tion except when the rare code is
reached. ; nd then if the- translation is

There is no question that so vexes
the minds of the executive officers of
our country towns as that of how to
best care for the public roads, says C.
P. Augur of Connecticut in New Eng
land Homestead. They know that only
a certain amount of money will be ap
propriated for the purpose, and tliey
are well aware ihat they will be held
to a strict account for Its expenditure.
Except In a few instances, where Iso
lated patches of improved roads aro
laid down with the help of the state
appropriation, the work is very Imper
fcctly done, and the material used Is
worthless for the purpose. Often the
men in charge of road repairs know
that the slipshod methods employed
are poor economy, but the fear of ad
verse criticism, perhaps loss of office,
if this year's expenditure exceeds that
! -•» *■"
\ V^
A VILLAGE HIGHWAY.
of last year causes them to do that
which makes a show of repairing, but
which in the end leaves the roads in
worse condition than before repairs
were attempted.
My idea of what should be done Is to
elect at the annual town meeting on al
ternate years a road supervisor whose
term of office shall be for two years
unless sooner terminated. Give him
the entire charge of the roads, bridges
and sluices and pay liiin a liberal per
diem for time necessarily expended.
The first duty of the supervisor
should be to appoint a resident road
guardian for each section of road, such
section not to exceed three miles in
extent. The duty of this road gtiai Man
shall be not to repair damage, but to
prevent it. He should inspect the road
under his charge frequently, especially
durlng heavy rains, and see that gut
ters and sluices are kept open and wa
ter bars unbroken. Often ten minutes'
work with hoe or shovel at the right
moment will save ten hours' work with
teams and men. I have recently driv
en over hundreds of miles of coun
try roads and have observed the great
damage done by the spring rains. In
nearly every case a little work at the
right time could have saved the roads.
In the event of any unusual damage
the guardian should report promptly
to his superior.
The material usually used in repair
ing country roads is road wash or turf
that has grown upon It and is in no
sense suitable. The worn pebbles have
no power of coherency. They will not
bind, and the organic matter of turf
Is productive only of mud or dust.
There is 110 road so pleasant to ride
upon as a well made, well drained, well
graded dirt road. Once settled Into
place tt will last in good condition for
years if frequently looked after. On
heavy soils it will, of course, be muddy
when the frost Is coming out, but that
is only for a short period, and the pleas
ure of riding on It free from noise and
dust at other seasons compensates for
a good deal of springtime annoyance.
It is not practicable to harden all
country roads, and if the road is well
drained and the gutters and sluices
kept open It is not desirable. A clat
tering stone road takes away much of
the charm of a country drive, to say
nothing of the annoyance to dwellers
thereon. Sometimes, If gravel is readily
available, it is economy to surface a
damp dirt road with a four inch coat.
This will keep all liyht vehicles out of
the mud, even In sprlugtime, and un
less very heavy teams pass over it will
last for years. Wet places that cannot
be successfully drained should be filled
with a tel ford pavement and from six
to eight inches of gravel placed over it.
All gutters and sluices should be
large enough to take the rainfall at its
greatest excess, and the fajlure to have
them so is a frequent source of dam
age and consequent expense. To sum
marize, put your roads into the best
condition possible with the means avail
able and then give them constant at
tention rather than neglect them for
It months and repair tlieni in one.
When you have tlieni in good condition,
expend your efforts upon keeping tho
gutters and sluices open and leave the
road itself alone as much as possible.
An old, hard roadbed is better than any
new, soft one that can be made with
tarth in any case, aud It is far more
desirable than the usual agglomeration
of road wash leaves and turf.

To break up a col l. which certainly
disfigures the face ol beauty, as well
as a valuable adjunct in the removal
of facial eruptions, the nightly foot
bath is invaluable. The largest sweat
glands of the body are located in the
palms, armpits and soles of the feet.
It is of primary importance that the
multitudinous outlets should be unclog
ged. Where facial eruption exists and
the whole attention is devoted toward
the care of the face, every pore is ac
tive and open to afford the escape of
clogging impurities.
This is all wrong. The feet should
>e made the gateway for the escape of
ffete deposits. The temperature of
lie footbath should range from 105 to
10 degrees or as hot as can be en
.ured with comfort. Should there ex
ist chronic profuse and offensive per
spiration, add a lump of washing soda
to neutralize the acid exudation. The ■
feet should be rubbed briskly to draw
the blood down to the extremities.
Cool the water before withdrawing the
feet, so that they may not become un
duly tender. Rub long aud thoroughly
With a soft towel.
Good pedal circulation is a foe to
corns and chilblains. Frequent warm
footbaths prevent callouses and make
