Simply and surely because of its ster-

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 sald. “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 old 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.

How to Secure Good Roads.
(+) HIS newspaper is very
VX much in earnest in the de-
T sire to see a system of im.
proved highways in the
country. 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 soomer 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. Itis 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 stanes, 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 b¢
inexperienced in handling stone roads;
but it won't take long to adopt the best
methods, which long years of usage in
Europe have proven to be the most
economical.—Rider and Driver, New
York.
Economy That Doesn’t Ccunt.
“It's mighty hard ie economize be-
low a certain point,” said the clubman.
“Some friends of mine, of artistic tastes
and inartistic income, suddenly found
It necessary to reduce expenses, and
they made 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
a month,”—New York Press.

A Sailor's Burial at Cherbourg.
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
{s believed mow 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,

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-

Coffee Acts the Jonah and Will Come Up
A clergyman who pursues bis 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
trouble, but not so violently, and had
relieved 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. We
never weary of Postum, to which we
know we owe our good health. This is
a simple statement of facts.” Name
