BIBLE FOR GOOD ROADS.
Cflßiiiiunilotl That Valley* He lO&ulted
and Mountain* Lo»vered.
Speaking at a good roads mooting at
Grenada, Miss., the ICov. \V. A. I lam
lot t said:
"Tin' subje.-t «>t* good roads, now be
ing agitated, is worthy the profoundost
consideration. The nocossitj' of such
improvement is so potent that he who
would oppose it would only advertise
his stand against progress. This mat
ter of good roads improvement is not
without its precedent, both anciently
and scripturally. We, in this modern
age of energy and invention, are rather
Inclined to scoff at the people whose
existence is but a dim historic memory.
Nevertheless, on the subject of im
proved, well kept highways, we may
well sit at their feet and learn. A
mere glance at Home teaches us that.
"What would Koine's senators or
legions of war have done for the City
of Seven llills had it not boon for her
splendid system of good roads? Hav
ing conquered an outlying province, she
linked it to herself by one of her en
durable highways, over which social
and commercial communication was
established or over which an army
could march with ease in time of re
bellious. Today traces of these roads
still exist, and, having endured the
ravages of weather and time, they re
main to remind us of that principle of
ltoine worthy of imitation by any na
tion. Kome would never have been
what she was had it not been for her
roadways. A system of good roads
makes a good city or nation. This is
axiomatic.
"Moreover, Scripture uses this prin
ciple as a figure: When the Almighty,
through prophecy, had promised a Sav
iour. lit; likened him to a king who
was about to visit his i>oople and in
honor of whom the highway should
be putin perfect order. 'Prepare ye
the way of the Lord; make straight in
the desert a highway for our God.
Every valley shall be exalted, and every
mountain and hill shall be made low'
(Isaiah xl, It). Even so there Is another
king, though an uncrowned ono, who
wishes to visit our cities, but who is
hindered by the unsatisfactory con
dition of our roads. If he comes, he
will bring plenty with him. I refer to
his majesty the farmer. He can exist
in his independent way without the
cities, but the cities can't exist without
him. Prepare your highways, exalt the
valleys, bring low the hills, and lot this
king come in. Citizens, build good
roads!"
our Varied Agricultural Products.
Secretary Wilson of the department
of agriculture has recently made a
statement regarding the capacity of
this country to produce everything ft
needs in the way of agricultural prod
ucts which is significant and interest
ing. It shows that our industrial prog
ress is not alone in the line of manufac
turing development. We are still far
from the limit of our advantage in the
vast range of soil and climate, and
there is no nation to compare with ours
in what the German economic writers
call "self sufficiency," or the ability to
provide completely for its own wants.
While we furnish a vast quantity of
food products to other countries and
can increase the output to meet almost
any demand, there are many articles
that we have been accustomed to pur
chase abroad which we can readily
raise for ourselves now that we have
capital seeking opportunities for in
vestment. One of the largest items in
our imports is sugar, and it is a fact
not generally appreciated that by far
the larger part of the world's sugar
supply Is now made from beets, and
there are wide areas In this country in
which the richest sugar beets in the
world are already raised. We have
also along the gulf a belt upon which
sugar cane is raised to advantage, while
It is one of the chief natural products
of all our "new possessions." It is no
dream that we may soon be able to pro
vide ourselves with all the sugar con
sumed in the country.
The value of the work of the agricul
tural department lies in ascertaining
the latent capacities of our varied soil
and climate and giving Intelligent di
rection to the application of capital and
labor t<> their development. Co-operat
ing with state authorities, it has done
much to stimulate the highly promising
beet sugar industry, has been instru
mental in largely Increasing the pro
duction of rice and is conducting ex
periments with other tropical or semi
tropical products.
It used to be common to deride the
effort to raise tea in this country, sim
ply because it seemed to be absolutely
foreign to this continent, but it is being
proved that we have areas where the
soli ami climate are quite adapted to
its growth, and it Is not unlikely that
it may yet be largely raised for the
home market.
Apart from economic theories and
controversies, there can be no question
as tot;. soundness of the policy of
conducting agricultural experiments
and Investigations and directing intel
ligent efforts to varying the products of
our soil within t lie limits of its natural
capacity. For what it has done and is
likely to do in this direction the agri
cultural department justifies its right
to existence.

IMPROVE IME THROAT.
How to Defect! Prodvctd

The English fashion of breakfast
jackets with low sailor collars Is be
ing taken >:;> by many beauty seekers.
II is a si usible and becoming stylo
and the best possible way to acquire a
pi" 11 y neck and throat. Any number
of society : iris are making a practice
of having all their house gowns con
structed without collars, and as a con
sequence the Improvemi n1 in the color
of the skin is much hastened.
Absolute cleanliness is one of the
requi it' of a pretty nock. A thor
ough soaking in warm water and a
pare soap should be given at least once
a day; then a rinsing in dear warm
water and finally in cold water to
close the pores. Tincture of benzoin
added to the water will have a whiten
ing effect on the skin. A few drops
only are necessary.
Often th< nock is disfigured by dark
lint s produced by high and stiff neck
wear. In such a case cucumber milk
will be found very beneficial. It should
be well rubbed into the pores after
tiiey have been cleansed by the warm
water and soap and before the cold wa
ter is used.
Probably the tissues are relaxed, and
a general tlabbincss is the result. To
remedy this procure a good massage
cream, and after the fingers have been
annointed rotate the muscles of the
neck firmly in u slanting direction
from under the chin toward the shoul
ders and from the middle of the throat
backward and upward toward the ears.
Breathing exercises will do much to
ward rounding out and strengthening
the throat muscles.
j BOERS AT BERMUDA.
ttfr of the Prltoum and Their Sen
timent Toward the Brttlah.
The Boer prisoners recently trans
ported to Hamilton, Bermuda, are as a
whole a tine looking lot of men. The
Free Staters, who number about Hi*»
men, have been placed on Darrell's Is
land. and the Transvaalers, a loss con
tented crowd, whose confessed desire Is
lo be free to tight again and wiio num
ber a (tout 130, are on Burtt's or Moses'
island, says the New York Times. The
former are orderly and quiet, well man
nered and many of them educated.
They say they never wanted to fight,
but that It was a ease of "tight or be
shot." They recognize also that their
cause is hopeless and only desire to re
turn to their homes to live peacefully.
| One of them said:
"I am a wagon maker. Before the
war broke out I used to earn §lO a day
at my trade. I own a farm, for which
1 have paid In full; at least I did own
it. I suppose the British government
owns it now. I was pressed Into light
ing. Had I refused I would have been
shot. I know our cause is lost. All I
want Is to return to my family, my
wife and my six children. I left them
enough money to last them 1U months,
but I have been away now for 10
months. However, I trust the British
government will take care of them."
The want of occupation is the chief
cause of complaint among the prison
ers. They want tools, which, of course,
are not allowed them. They have bus
' led themselves in the manufacture of
various souvenirs, which they readily
sell, but their only tools are penknives,
most of thorn with broken blades, and
sharpened nails and pieces of wire. The
local authorities have taken into con
sideration the matter of providing for
the prisoners' amusement.
When the prisoners disembarked
from the troopship the other day,
crowds gathered in boats, and several
I persons got an opportunity to speak a
j few words to the Boers. One woman
was accosted by a prisoner, who apolo
gized for addressing her by saying that
It was so long—ltl months—since he
I had a chance to speak to a woman. 1
The same woman got some souvenirs,
such as carved stone brooches, mechan
i leal toys and carved boxes, most of
them bearing carved Images of Mr.
Kruger.
Since the prisoners' occupation of the
camp martial law has been proclaimed
on the Islands. Two gunboats guard
either end, and buoys are placed to de
j fine the dead line.
i BIGGEST FORT IN AMERICA.
1 Itemarkabljr Strong Structure Ilelntc
Krected at Halifax.
| The plans for the new fortress at the
: mouth of the Halifax harbor have
been completed by the Imperial author
ities, and work has been commenced, ;
says the Halifax correspondent of the '
■ Detroit Fress Press. The fortress will
be much larger than the York redoubt
and will be armed with the most pow- j
erful weapons.
It was the Intention of the authorl
j ties to erect a fort out of the water on
! the principle adopted In ports in Eng
land, but after consideration it was de- I
elded to have it constructed out of the
solid rock. The site selected Is three
I miles west of Herring cove, lminediate
| ly facing the water. The Imperial au
l thorltles selected a large granite cliff
| which has a hollow In the center. The
j main part of the fort will be located in
I this hollow, with works to be con
i structed of cement, giving the appear
ance when completed of a solid cliff.
The fort will have as Its principal
armament 16 of the latest kind of guns,
which will be of the disappearing
type. These guns will be fired by In
struction from a conning tower and
will be worked on the system used in
modern war vessels. The men han
dling the guns will not be exposed.
They will work the guns from below,
getting the sight and other directions
from the conning tower. The fort will
be the largest this side of the Atlantic.
The work will be rushed.
THIRD RAIL INJURES EYES.
Minute I'artlelea of Steel Fly OH and
Injure the Sight of Motormen.
The advent of the third rail system
In Boston has brought with it dangers
to not only motormen, but also pas
| sengers on both surface and elevated
j cars, says the New York Sun. Ac
( cording to doctors and electricians,
! more than 20 motormen are being
I treated for eye trouble, the result of
I the minute iron particles rubbed off the
| third rail by the "shoe" connecting It
with the train. Those treated at the
Emergency and the New England Eye
and Ear hospitals had minute foreign
substances Imbedded in the cornea.
In nearly all the cases these particles
I were of metal, atomic scales of angular
j formation, with Jagged edges and
points. In some cases the eyeball or
Its protecting cornea had the appear
ance of having been burned, showing
that the tiny bits had been Intensely
hot These motormen, according to
their own statements, were employed
on surface cars, with part of their
: routes underneath the elevated struc
! ture, and some of them said that they
knew the substancee struck them at
the moment of the passing of trains
overhead.
It will deeply grieve Americans who
are given to sporting arinß and crests
on their personal belongings to learn
that the English papers consider them
a* suitable subjects for criticism when
they display their Inherited crests with
out the coats of arms, which should al
' ways accompany them. No crests, no
coats of arms, sayß the heraldic au
thority. It is decidedly out of place,
I for Instance, to place the family crest
upon your harness, servants' buttons
and flunkies' livery generally or to
paint the coat of arms upon your car
: riage door or your hatchment or marble
j tomb or to have it engraved on a seal
or signet ring, on book plate or plate
for writing paper. Either without the
i other is a sure sign of vulgarity or the
! bar sinister or some of those dreadful
things which the college of heraldry
has Invented and applies to all those
who do not agree with its way of look
ing at things. Anglomanlacs will please
take notice.
Unless Russia learns to overcome the
difficulties of a Siberian winter the

to be a very efficient Instrument of

many derailments last winter, and the
snow made it Impossible to run heavy
trains. Furthermore, the railroad fer
ries on Lake Baikal, which were sup
posed to be Ice crushers, not only failed
to accomplish their purpose, but were
themselves badly damaged and for two
months were out of service. Resort
had to be had to a road over the Ice,

"In one of our western cities some
years ago," said a Kansas City man. "a
friend of mine was employed as a report
er on one of the local papers. The next
man above him was constantly taking
him to task for alleged derelictions in
duty and especially for mistakes in gram
mar. punctuation and similar things. The
editor who was forever quarreling with
my friend, while a man of force and able
to write in a virile manner, was never
theless deficient in education, and his
grammar was occasionally as had as
some of that »112 Charles liiekens. One
day ho had been particularly vicious in
his criticisms of my friend. The follow
ing morning there appeared an editorial
from his pen, in which the following sen
tence occurred:
" "To be a true American one should
visit the Rocky mountains and contem
plate its beauty and grandeur.'
"Here wan the chance my friend had
been waiting for.and so he cut the quota
tion out and sent it to the owner of the
paper, to whom both men were responsi
ble, with the following comments:
" 'The first thought suggested hy this
strange statement is that its author
should visit a school of grammar and
contemplate its beauty and grandeur.
This originality in the use of a singular
pronoun stunding for a plural antecedent
might be used to advantage iu a reversion
of the style, like the following, for exam
ple:
" 'To be a true American one should
visit the editor of The Blank and con
template their beauty and grandeur.'
Aside from the offense to English In this
admonition to the American people, will
the sentiment itself stand analysis? If
the dictum be true that to be a true
American one should visit the Ilocky
mountains and contemplate its beauty and
grandeur, what is to become of the fol
lowing:
" 'The man who cannot afford to in
dulge in this visit and contemplation?
" "The busy man who cannot find time
togo on a mountain gazing tour?
" 'The many good citizens who are
blind?'
"The attention of the owner was ar
rested, and lie made inquiries which re
sulted in his straightening out matters
between the two men. While this drastic
criticism perhaps did not improve the ed
itor's grammar, it certainly did improve

The following good joke on a party of

"'Beg pardon, sir, but I am green at
this business. "Yill you mind explaining
this picture? The-deer appears to have
a melancholy, hungry look on his face.
Am I right?'
" 'Quite correct,' replied the dealer
'Step over here. This is better.'
" 'You see, it's this way,' continued
Kost confidentially: 'My wife and I are
iu the city for a few days to buy some
paintings for our new house iu Indiana.
I have to get a few hundred dollars'
worth, and 1 reckon 1 had as well get
them all right here.'
"The dealer nearly dropped in his
tratks, but was equal to the emergency.
" 'Yes, sir,' he said briskly, 'you have
come to the best place in town, but be
fore we begin business, gentlemen, come
over to the Astor House and have lunch
with me.'
" 'Thanks,' replied Kost without the
ghost of a smile, 'we had a late break
fast at the Waldorf-Astoria and really
don't care for anything just yet. By th<
way, have you any pictures by u man
named Carleton Wiggins?'

"'Ahem! Have you any works of the

"'Kost?' said the dealer, scratching
his head meditatively. 'Kost? I don't

"We were nearly choking with laugh
