A Well-informed Guide, The late John W., Mackay was at- tending to business at the great Com- stock mine one day when a party of tourists approached and asked if he knew of a guide who would take them about. Evidently none of them knew him. Mackay offered to escort them and did so, explaining the whole mystery of gold and silver quartz mining. When they emerged the visitors clubbed together and made up a small sum for the guide. Among them was Andrew D. White, re- cently ambassador to Germany, and at that time president of Cornell University. “Here, my man, take this,” he said. “Your explanation of the working of the mine has been singuuarly clear and informing.” “Well, it ought to be,” replied the guide, as he slipped the half-dollar in his overalls pocket. “I dug ‘em and I own em.” A Sure Cure for Gout. Dr. William Osler, in one of his Baltimore lectures, recited a quaint old cure for the gout—a cure, from a seventeenth century medical work that was designed to show gout’s hopelessness. “First pick,” said the cld cure, “a handkerchief from the pocket of a spinster of 35 who never wished to wed; second, wash the handkerchief in an honest miller’s pond; third, dry it on the hedge of a parson who never was covetous; fourth, send it to the shop of a physician who never killed a patient; fifth, mark it with a lawyer's ink who never cheated a client, and, sixth, apply it, hot, to the gout-tormented part. A speedy cure must follow.” Large Fossils Found. Scientists of the University of Cali- fornia, who have been searching for prehistoric animals on the Nevada desert for the past few months, have succeeded in finding skeletons of some sea mammoths on the dry wastes. One of the specimens is 29 feet long, and, jacked occupies 54 boxes. This specimen was found on the great 40- mile desert in Humbolt county and is considered one of the most valu- able fossils ever unearthed. Before finding this one the scientists suc- ceeded in locating several smaller rep- tiles, which must have lived in that region ages ago. FITSpermanently cured.

Its editor knows teat no systematic highway improve- ment can be had except by a great national movement, such as has been outlined in the Brownlow-Latimer bills in Congress. The people of this State have an interest in the highways of its sister States. Highway travel does not stop at State lines any more than river transportation stops where the waterways pass from one State to an- other, or railroad transportation where the railroads cross State lines. High- way improvement is sooner or later to be recognized as a function of the Government. The Government com- prises a union of States of mutual in- terests, and interdependent, each obli- zated to the other in a compact for the general national welfare. We do not believe any question, present or prob- able, is more pregnant with import- ance to all the people than that of na- tional aid to good roads, and we want to suggest to our readers that the only way this aid can be secured is for the people to demand it. The Senate Com- mittee on Agriculture a year ago fav- orably reported on the Latimer bill, it being substantially a copy of the Brownlow bill, which was earlier of- fered in the House. The bills will be reintroduced on the assembling of the Fifty-ninth Congress. If the people who favor national aid will write to their Senators and Representatives, in- sisting upon the measure, the little dif- ference in the two bills will be elim- inated and the one thus agreed upon will be passed. It is all with the people themselves. One citizen is as much obligated as another in the matter. No citizen is so humble but that he has the right of petition. Every citizen can afford the time to write. He can attend the county meetings that should be held everywhere to emphasize the demand for Government help to better roads. He can sign a petition with his neighbors asking Congress to give this relief. He can write to his Senator for Senate Document No. 204, study of which will enable him to talk good roads to others. All may be posted for the asking; and we suggest that our newspaper brethren keep standing in a prominent place in their columns some such paragraph as this: “Write to your U. 8. Senator for a copy of Senate Document No. 204. Also tell him you favor the enactment of the Brownlow-Latimer bill for good roads.” The press and the people must speak out on the question.—Brooklyn (N. Y.) Uptown Weekly. Road Maintenance. In the maintaining of the State roads so little experience has been had on the part of the Highway Commission- ers and the people in general that it is usually thought that when a road is once built it will maintain itself. Many Highway Commissioners and town boards feel this same way toward an iron bridge and neglect to paint it, but even a bridge built of iron when neglected loses its strength, just the same as a road built of stone if neg- lected will go to pieces. The real life of a stone road is dependent upon the care which it receives during the first six months after it is finished, and the perpetual attention which it receives after that. Some commissioners think that when a road is completed that if the loose stones are raked off ence in thirty days that it will maintain itself for three or four years, and then the road can be resurfaced with top dress- ing and a steam roller and again be- come as good as new and ready to go three years longer without attention. This method of caring for roads is far from economical and satisfactory. The best way to maintain a road is. as soon as it is turned over by the State to the town, to engage a man to take charge of a five-mile section at an agreed price per year and put him in charge of the road, providing him with surface ma- terial, which is stored at regular inter. vals on each side of the road for resur- facing. This man goes every day with his rake, his shovel, his hoe and hig wheelbarrow the entire distance of the road, rain or shine. He removes thd loose stgnes, he keeps the shoulders low at the side of the road so that the water passes freely over them to the ditch, he keeps the sluices opened, hd fills the depressions, fills the ruts and repairs each spot as fast as the surface dressing wears off or blows away. If is this constant attention which keep¢ the road always in good order and af the least expense to the community, Our American road builders may bé inexperienced in handling stone roads; but it won't take longtto adopt the best methods, which long years of usage in Europe have proven to he the most economical.—Rider and Driver, New York. Economy That Doesn’t Ccunt. “It’s mighty hard te economize be- low a certain point,” said the clubman. “Some friendsof mine, of artistic tastes and inartistic income, suddenly found it necessary to reduce expenses, and they nade serious efforts to do so, even to the verge of discomfort. At the end of six months they found that the only Item they had been able to clip out was loaf sugar: They made the less elegant “granulated take the place of the chaste blanc blocks, and thereby effected a saving of about fifteen cents & month.”—New York Press. / THE PLAYWRICHT.STAR.

The most impressive feature, how- ever, of the day on which John Paul Jones’ body arrived at Cherbourg was the real funeral of Seaman Rodgers of the Chattanooga, who died yes- terday in the Civil hospital here from nephritis. In the afternoon 100 sailors and a firing squad of marines, accompanied by the scarlet coated band of the Brooklyn, marched to the hospital and received the body. The escort was augmented there by a detachment of French sailors and soldiers and a number of professional mourners. The route was lined with spectators. Thousands of the inhabit- ants joined the cortege as it passed along, the band playing the Dead March in Saul. The body of blue jackets mourning their comrade marched in perfect alignment and step. As the coffin passed the male spectators removed their hats, and the women crossed themselves. The coffin was draped with the American flag, and was flanked by six mess- mates of the dead sailor. Arriving at the cemetery. the escort formed a hollow square about the grave, and the Episcopal burial service was read. Then the firing squad deliv- ered three volleys, mourning taps were sounded on the bugle, and America had given France a sailor for the one she was to take on the next day. The Largest Lump of Ice: The largest mass of ice in the world Is probably the one which fills up nearly the whole of the interior of Greenland, where it has accumulated since before the dawn of history. It is believed now to form a block about 600,000 square miles in area, and averaging a mile and a half in thickness. According to these statis- tics the lump of ice is larger in volume than the whole body of water in the Mediterranean, and there is enough of it to cover the whole of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland with a layer about seven miles thick. If it were cut into two convenient slabs and built up equal- ly upon the entire surface of ‘gal- lant little Wales,” it would form a pile more than 120 miles high. There is ice enough in Greenland to cover the entire surface of the United States a quarter of a mile deep. What May Be Found at Skibo. The sporting attractions of Skibo, Mr. Carnegie’s highland home are thus summed up: The extent of his shoot- ing is about 20,000 acres, of which about 10,000 acres are moor, 6,000 acres arable and 4,000 acres wood; 600 to 800 brace grouse, 22 stags, 4 fallow bucks, 42 roe deer, besides black game partridges, pheasants, snips, wood- cock, hares, rabbits and wild fowl may be expected. There is a fair sal- mon and sea trout fishing in about 15 miles of the Evelix, and good trout fishing in Lochs Migdale, Laggan, Lars and Buidhe—Westminstey Gazette. Electro-Magnetic Surgery. A huge electro-magnet has been set up in a certain hospital in England. It drew out splinters of steel which had become lodged in the eves of patients. In one instance it drew out a piece of a hammer head which had been driven ino the muscles of a patient's upper arm, and in another case drew out a piece of a cold-chisel in a forearm. EVER TREAT YOU SO? Coffee Acts the Jonah and Will Come Up A clergyman who pursues his noble calling in a country parish in Iowa | tells of his coffee experience: “My wife and I used coffee regularly for breakfast, frequently for dinner and occasionally for supper—always the very best quality—package coffee never could find a place on our table. “In the spring of 1896 my wife was taken with violent vomiting, ' which we had great difficulty in stopping. “It seemed to come from coffee drink- ing, but we could not decide. “In the following July, however, she | was attacked a second time by the vomiting. I was away from home fill- ing an appointment at the time, and on my return I found her very low; she had literally vomited herself almost to death, and it took some days to quiet the trouble and restore her stomach. “I had also experienced the same ‘rouble, but not so violently, and had | retieved it each time by a resort to medicine. “But my wife's second attack satis- fled me that the use of coffee was at the bottom of our troubles, and so we stopped it forthwith and took on Pos- tum Food Coffee. The old symptoms of disease disappeared, and during the 9 years that we have been using Pos- tum instead of coffee we have never had a recurrence of the vomiting.

A Modern Buccaneer “The days of piracy may be gome, but there is a bold buccaneer in the waters of the North Pacific ocean who comes perilously near duplicating the exploits of Lafitte and Captain Kidd,” said B. R. Birdwell, of San Francisco. “This rover of the deep, Alexander McLean by name, is the master of the famous Carmencita, a craft which has for a long time been engaged in selling whisky illicity to Indians and in poaching on the fur seal preserves of Russia and the United States. It is hinted that the owner of this outlaw ship has done even darker deeds than swindling redskins and sealing seals, but he has thus far escaped capture, either through his remarkable luck or the inefficiency of the government revenue service. The latest McLean exploits have been committed in wa- ters that are under Russian jurisdic tion, and right now Russia has her hands too full in Manchuria to bother with minor affairs.—Washington Post. Work and Wages. Paul Morton gets $100,000 a year, and Admiral Togo $3,000. That's about right. Morton has 600,000 dis-| satisfied policy holders to placate, | and Togo has only a few thousand | Russians to show how to lead a different life. Besides, Togo's labors | are over, and Morton's have just be-| gun and may never end. All Togo has got to do to keep his job and the esteem of the public is to stay! afloat, where he cannot spend all! his money, and to avoid home com- ings. Whag Morton must do could not be told in a day.—Portland Ore- gonian. | A Queer Thing About July. | How we came to pronounce July | as we do now with the accent on the second syllable is one of the unsolved mysteries of speech. Named, of course, after Julius Caesar, it should really be pronounced to rhyme with “duly,” and so our forefathers actu- ally did pronounce it. Spenser, for instance, has the line, “Then came hot July boyling like a fire,” and even so late as Johnson's time the accent was still on the “Ju.” It is one of many words which would startle those ancestors of ours spoken as we speak them now.—London Chron- icle. Shaking Hands. When a stranger does not grasp the hand you offer him, you are en- titled to doubt his honesty. If he favors you with a couple of fingers you may set him down as haughty. If his hand lies limpiy in yours, he is timid. If he gives you the ‘“Ameri- ican squeeze,” he is audacious. If | his hand slips away, he is indolent; | but if he is good, loyal, sincere, well- | balanced, mentally and physically, he {lets you have a grip, ample, firm, modest and yet gemial—New York Globe. 15 YEARS OF TORTURE! i i i i Itching and Painful Sores Covered Head | and Body=Cured in Week by Cuticura. “For fifteen years my scalp and fore- head was one mass of scabs, and my body was covered with sores.
