The very !pg conditions in which the differ ut -jjfcles succood ar- lf tarknlile. M.my them require a v.irm ten.pe:nti;re. i while others do well in tool and i shady places. 1 Of the 4,000 or more species of 1 ferns not more than about forty cpecies are stilted to outdoor culture ; in ordinary roils and Fituations. These species can be planted in beds, bor ders of rockeries or in the foreground of shrubbery. As most of them re quire a somewhat shady place, they are especially useful for Tilling in places where grass and other' light loving plants cannot grow. Perfect drainage is required. The soil should i have leaf mold in It. or decayed feat or well decayed sod will answer. Hardy ferns are best planted In the Spring, but they can be planted in the Summer if the fronds or leaves are cut back, making It easier for the plants to establish themselves before the Winter sets in. From his florist the amateur gardener can obtain cut i tings of varieties most suitable for , the roll and climate in his vicinity. In I the Winter the ferns should be given 1 protection, with a covering of leaves, i hay or straw.

Many Methods and Materials. The material used and the methods employed in the construction of good roads will necessarily vary according to the money and materials available for the purpose. In the richer and more populous communities In the Eastern States macadam roads are favored as being the best and most desirable type of good roads for dense , traffic. These require the use of i crushed stones, but many Important ! thoroughfares are surfaced with grav i el, slag, shells and other hard niateri I als suitable for road metal. In many lncalitic, where no hard materials are available, roads are constructed of sand and clpy or of burnt clay with excellent results. The Unscskci Speech. When the late William Windom. secretary of the treasury, drojiyed dead at a Chfunber of Commerce din ner in Xew Tor nvio vpars aeo. 1'ist as he was spcakii there were but two reporters pre i nt. The otnera had written tl.r-ir stories, sent down their copy and the test of the speeches, r.nd gene to more interest ing places. In one newspaper offlce the news did not get in .il a minute before time for going ti press. Two columns of Windom'fe tj.eih wee in type in the form. As it was too late to make over and catch the n.ails, an enter prising editor wrote: "The Honora ble William Windom dropped dead at the Chamber oi Commerce dinner last nlpht. If he had r.ot dropped dead he would have st-ohe!! as follows." Thus it stood until they could make over. Popular Breeds of Hogs. I As to the popular breeds of hogs I ior market purposes, that is a hard I oK!--tion to answer. Buyers have ; their likes and dislikes and what I breed one slaushteier would like an- other would not. Most of the Chica ! so buyers of light weight hogs prefer the Berkshire and many who buy the levy grades show a liking of the Po- land China, while the Hampshire may I l.ty claim to both of these qualities, u. do some of the other breeds. On j te other hand, those who make a , "ialty.of the foreign bacon trade '. the Yorkshires and Tamwoiths Sslf-Dltgraced.

We managed to grab him before he rolled off and clung on , until the first stop was made, which was at Joliet." During every moment after that 1 accident the five who escaped were in mortal terror lest they should be j brushed off from their insecure perch and meet a worse fate. As for the I boy whose head struck the bridge, it was believed that his skull was j fractured and he is now in the hos- j pital. 1 -hould not be governed according to their sex.

"Was the concert fine?" "The concert was all right," re sponded Eleanor. "The trouble was with Mary. She disgraced herself." "Disgraced herself?" "Yes, she sueezod in the middlo of the symphony." Cuts on Horses. Open sore.-j or cuts upon horses --i."uld be washe d regularly with some o.l antiseptic- rrush which can be ...rde up w,th water and c-reolin or ju:e of the coal tar products. Car bolic acid is also good, but many ,-ake the mistake of using it too .strong and set up an irritation instead of keeping things normal. A good antiseptic wash kills the germs which form pus, keeps the flies off and al lows Xature to heal the wound. A healthy horse will get over a bad cut in a surprisingly short time if the wound is merely kept clean and sanitary. SAN FRANCISCO'S ARCH BOODLER. Dies to Save Nine Friends. Easton, Pa. John Monok, a Hun garian, employed o the Delaware, Lackawanna and Western Railroad Company's million dollar cut off bridge at Portland, twenty-five miles up the Delaware Biver from this city, gave his life to save nine fellow coun trymen.

Among the begging letters recently received at the office of a benevolent society was one running thus: Two Fundamental Principles. The intrinsic value of a system of highways to any community is based on two fundamental principles; prop er construction and continual main tenance. In the construction of a road good foundations and drainage are es sential and in maintaining a road in proper condition continuous drainage and a well rounded, smooth, hard sur face are necessary. Unless a road Is properly drained and the drains kept continually open for carrying away "This unfortunate young man Is the ! surplus water it will be impossible to only son of a widow, who died child less, and his earnings maintain his aged father and infant brothers, whole sole support he is." keep the surface In good condition.
