It Is of a bright black color and occurs at a very slight depth, sometimes on the surface, In beds one to two feet thick. It generally appears under an angle of about 40 degrees, and In the Immediate vicinity of rock. It Is pre sumed to be solidified petroleum, wbicb Is often seen there exuding from the earth or floating on the water. In Its composition this mineral Is similar to the pitch of Trinidad, to tho Gilsonito of Utah and the Canadian Alhertite, but It Is of n much better quality. The best varieties of "manjak" contained 2 per cent, of water, 70.85 per cent, ot volatile organic substances, 20.97 per cent, of ditto solid ones and .18 pet cent, of mineral parts. Trinidad pitch contains from 21 to 30 per cent, of wa ter, and about 38 per cent, of ashes. Hence the manjak mineral is much richer In natural bitumen. It Is used, among other purposes, for the Insula tion of electrical conduits, for vnrnlsli, bituminous concrete nnd for fuel, mix ed with peat, etc. It may to some ex tent supplant gutta percha as an In sulating medium.—Savannah News.

Mrs. MARY BOLLINGER, 1101 Marianna St., Chicago, 111., to Mrs. Pinkham: "I have been troubled for the past two years with falling of the womb, leucorrhoea, pains over my body, sick headaches, backache, nervousness and weakness. I tried doctors and various remedies without relief. After taking two bottles of your Vegetable Com pound, the relief I obtained was truly wonderful. I have now taken several more bottles of your famous medicine, and can say that I ain entirely cured." Mrs. HENRY DOER, No. 80GFindley St., Cincinnati, Ohio, to Mrs. Pinkham: "For a long time I suffered with chronic inflammation of tho womb, pain in abdomen and bearing-down feeling. Was very nervous at times, and so weak I was hardly able to do any thing. Was subject to headaches, also troubled with lcucorrhces. After doc toring for many montlm with different physicians, and gcttingnorelief, I had given up all hope of being well again when I read of the great good Lydia E. Pinkliam's Vegetable Com pound was doing. 1 decided immedi ately to give it a trial. The result was simply past belief. After taking four bottles of Vegetable Compound and using three packages of Sanative Wash I can say I feel like a new woman. I eleem it my duty to announce the FLCT to my fellow sufferers that Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable remedies have entirely cured me of all my pains and suffering. I have her alone to thank for my recovery, for which I am grate ful. May heaven bless her for the good work she is doing for our sex."

I GOOD ROADS NOTES. 1 IS^aeie^'aaKjmeieieiasi^^eK^^ The Beauty of Working Koatl Tuxes. At the Farmers' Institute which re cently met in Marshalltown, lowa, a paper was read by J. H. Jayne, on Good Roads. Touching on the re sults of working out road taxes, he said: "I believe the most important fundH in the county are the school and road funds, because the schools and roads are the most extensive and cost the most money. But what a vast differ ence in the management of these two affairs. "Your schools are second to none in the country, while your roads are be low the average. Suppose you levied a three-mill school fund in every town ship, one mill to be paid in cash and two mills to be worked out, and you compelled every taxpayer in the dis trict to teach the school in his turn until his school tax was worked out, and supply no other teachers. After a lapse of fifteen years you find yonr schoolhouses dilapidated, plastering off, stoves down, seats and wiudows broken, etc. Do you think your schools would be up to the standard and your children properly educated? Y'our roads are in a like condition to day, being worked by men who do not follow it as a business, and further more have no time outside of other duties to attend to it. "Now, the principal point I wish to bring before you is money for road purposes. Ido not mean by this that we need more money, that the j connty should be bonded, or a heavy | county road-fund levy made, but that ; the money now raised every year for I road purposes should be raised and handled differently. The bulk of that j monev can be derived from that inir | ror, as it were—that shadow which i skips here and there over the county I roads every summer and cuts off the j grass and makes the roads look level | and smooth (in places)—the district road supervisor and his grader. "Now, do you think it pays for John Smith to be a road supervisor | this year and grade up the road—fill up ,the hollows and round them up nicely in the centre—and next year put in William Jones, and allow him to plow the roads clear across for miles and harrow them down flat, and the next year put in another man who will round them up again; one undoing the other's work year after year? "Do you think it pays for the road supervisor in No. 1 to go over in No. •1 and spend a day dragging a grader over to his district? Do you think it pays to have him put on John Smith's team to-day, Bill Brown's | team to-morrow, Tom Clark's team the next day, and have them go gehawing iiere and there, and make your road look like a worm fence whenfinished? Who is to blame? The horses? No; they were never on a grader before, and are not acc-s --toined to climbing up banks and go ing down into ditches. The drivers to blame? No; they did the best they could with a green horse. The su pervisor to blame? No; he held the blade when the machine was driven. Where, then, is the blame? It is in | your system. | "Do you think it pays to compel I the poor road supervisor to try to fill j up a hole, or round up a road, or cut down a hill with a Clip scraper when J he could carry it almost in a dish j pan? Do you think it pays him to work without tools? Does it pay | him to buy six or eight pieces of } tile, and pay four prices for them, I when Marshall County could buy a car load at the lowest rates and give j him the benefit? Does it pay for him j to buy lumber for culverts under ihe same circumstances? Who is to blame? The road supervisor? No; it is your system. I regard this road system a huge cancer, continually eating, and the money you have ap plied, as prescribed by some physi cian, and according to directions, has apparently been of very little benefit to the patient." Bettor Iloaria Easy to Secure. In a recent paper Professor W. C. Latta sets forth the results of investi gations which he has made in Indiana. Ho sent out a large number of letters to farmers in different counties, and i from the replies received he gathers the following facts: I First. The average estimated in crease in the selling price of land due j to existing improved highways is $6.48 I per acre. The estimates from which the average is made refer in most cases fo lands near the improved roads; but ! in a few instances they apply to all lands of the county. The average in crease, therefore, of SO. 48 per acre is lower than was intended for lnnds in the vicinity of the improved roads. Second. The estimated average in crease per acre that would result from improving all the public roads is 89. Third. The estimated average cost Df converting the common public roads into improved highways is 81110 per mile. Fourth. The estimated average an- I nua> ss, per 100 acres, from poor roads is $70.28. j He says that if these statements are j even approximately correct that they I furnish a key to the satisfactory solu- I tion of the question of highway im provement from the money standpoint. Gn the basis of the last mentioned es timate the average annual loss per acre from poor roads is over seventy-six rents. In five years the losses would Aggregate 82432 for every section of .and, and this sum would construct two miles at a cost of $1216 per mile, which is seventy dollars permilo abovo the estimated cost given by the farm ers themselves. The present road tax which, under existing laws, is largely thrown away, would, under a proper 63 stem of road maintenance, doubt- ! less keep improved highways in per. feet repair. The advantages to be gained he con cisely says are that good roads (2) Economize time and force in transpor tation between farm and market; (2) Enable the farmer to take advantage of market fluctuations in buying and selling; (3) Permit transportation of farm products and purchased commo dities during times of comparative leisure; (4) Reduce the wear and tear on horses, harness and vehicles; (5) Enhance the market value of real estate. How Some Road. Are Built. The notion that "anybody can build a road" is responsible for many fail ures. Commissioner Mac Donald, of Conueetieut, tells a story of such people. He says that a Quaker went into a hardware store to buy an axe. "How much does thee ask for a Bradley axe?" he asked. "One dollar and thirty-five cents," was the answer of the shopman. "Thee asks too much; I will make an axe myself." He bought a chunk of steel, took it home, put it in the fire, hammered il and belabored it until it bad assumed the general outlines of an axo head. But it was dull. "Huh," said he, "thee cannot make an axe. But thee can make a wedge." He put the steel back into the forge and knocked it into the shape of a wedge. But it had lost its temper. "Huh," again quoth the Quaker, "thee cannct make an axe, and thee cannot make a wedge, but thee can make a sizzle," and he thrust the hot iron into the rain barrel. That's what a big majority of road-makers used tc do in this State—make a sizzle.—Good Roads Bulletin. Is a Good Itoads Woman. Miss Rella C. Harber, of Trenton, N. J.; State organizer for tho Good Roads nnd Public Improvoiuent As sociation, has had such great success with her work that the association is more than pi eased with her. Miss Harber is a remarkable wom an. President Cleveland appointed Miss Ilarber's father, the late Judgo T. B. Harber, Postmaster of Trenton. Miss Harber was commissioned deputy and succeeded to the postmastersbip when the Judge died in 1893. Miss Harber resigned in 1897 and went to St. Louis, where she was employed in tbo Good Roads office. Since then she lias been promoted to her present position, and lias organized fifteen societies, all of which are Bteadily in creasing in membership. A Long Crusade. The New York State League for Good Roads, which has been working for seven years to develop a healthy sentiment regarding road improve ment, has changed its name to the New York State Road Improvement Association, in order to better dis tinguish it from tbo Stato division of the League of American Wheelmen. Items. Roads dependent on the weather, Worthless are lor months together- Roads made hard by science's art Always firmly do their part. If water stands on a road it soon ruins it; ruts collect and retain water; the narrow tiro is the father of ruts. Hard roads make access to the farms easy at all seasons; produce eau lie shipped in any weather if tho high ways are passable. In a south Jerseytownallthefreight wagons were changed to wide tires over a year ago, and since that time their roads have kept in much better condition. Lack of social lifo and restricted means of communication drive the young men from the farms into the cities. Good roads will gradually change all that. Colonel Pope, in speaking of the wide tire agitation in Massachusetts, said: "Carts and other heavy vehicles should act as road-rollers rather than road-destroyers." Wet weather roads are what are needed. It is easy to make roads that are good in dry weather, but to make them good in tho wet season re quires knowledge and skill. The applications from the counties in New Jersey for money to be used under the provisions of the State-aid law are so numerous that a bill has been introduced in the legislature for an increased State appropriation. Farmers have been used to staying cooped up on their farms in bad weather for so long a time that it is bard for thorn to realize the advan tages that would accrue to thorn from having hard and clean highways at all seasons of the year. Silver Comb* Darken the Hair. A mystery of the toilet, malo and female, has been disclosed by the dis tinguished scientist, Dr. Vanderweide. He says that the use of silver combs is verj' ancient and has always been popular among people of an uncertain j ago. A silver comb tends to darken I the hair and beard when used with regularity. The reason is very simple. Hair contains sulphur, and this com- | bines with the invisible pieces of the metal, wbicb are worn off every time the oomb is employed. The combina tion of sulphur and silver is pure black, as every housekeeper kuows who has used silver tableware. Young men with slight and light-colored mustaches, old beaux whose mustaches are beginning to turn gray, women whose hair shows the mark of ago aro ; the thrfee classes who use silver combs with earnest zeal."

The latest novelty iu the way of 11 dinner was given recently by Lispcn ard Stewart, of New York City. Ho invited twenty-live of his friends to dine at Martin's restaurant, where they found au elaborate spread and a ' beautiful table, decorated with .white tulips, lilies of the valley and maiden hair fern. When four courses had been served—oysters, soup and fish and an entree —the ladies resumed their wraps and took carriages fur nished by their host to the Hoffman House, whore a haunch of mutton was served with Brussels sprouts and a grand display of violets. When this was eaten the party re-entered their carriages and drove to the Waldorf- Astoria, where they finished the din ner amid a most gorgeous sjjread of orchids. The progressive plan will no doubt be imitated, as Mr. Stewart is a great swell and has many admirers, the idea being that persons who want to eat should go to the places where the various viands they crave are served in the best style. Nearly all the fa mous cooks in New York have their specialties.

Says the District's counselor: "The well-known German preparation of cabbage, known as saner kraut, from the method of its manufacture, con tains more or less of liquids, but, as the greater part of the preparation is solid, my opinion is it should bo sold by dry measure. As to pickles, tho custom, as I am informed, is to soli both by dry and liquid measure. If the pickles are not drained they are sold by liquid measure. If tho brine or vinegar is drained off, they are sold by dry measure. My opinion is sauer kraut should be sold by dry measure, aud that pickles should bo sold by dry and liquid measure, according as they are drained or not."—Washington Star.

The Injustice and disadvantages of the present Inter-State commerce laws both to the railroads and to the people were ably set forth in a recent address by Mr. M. E. Ingalls, President of the Big Four and Chesapeake & Ohio rail roads. The occasion was the tenth an nual convention of Railroad Commis sioners held in Washington, May 10. Mr. Ingalls said that the railroads had reached a crisis, where something must be done to avoid disaster not only to the railroads but also to the material interests of the country. Since the enastment of the inter state commerce law In ISB7, some pro vision of that law has been constantly under consideration either by congress or the courts. Now it is admitted that state legislatures have control over the railroads with regard to local business and congress has power as regards in ter-state business. In reference to the control of States the Supreme court has just decided that state control must be reasonable, and that rates cannot be reduced below a point where railroads can earn their expenses and a fair profit. In 1597 it was decided by the Supreme court that the Sherman anti-trust law applied to the railroads contrary to the assertions of railroad men. Under the rulings of this law it was practically impossible to make any arrangements for the maintenance of tariffs. The tariffs are now but little respected by the railroads. Private arrangements With large shippers will sooner or later Utterly ruin the smaller traders. Many railroad managers are carrying freight far below cost. Away must be found by which rail road tariffs can be maintained and the practice of secret rates and contracts discontinued. The settlement of this question not only concerns the rail roads but also one-fifth of the people of the country, who are directly inter ested in railroads. The chief difficulty with the inter state commerce law is that the pun ishments are entirely out of proportion with the offences. The imprisonment clause has not public sentiment in its favor, and it also prevents 6ne railroad from prosecuting another. The public does not believe in the law and what is the result? Honest railroads see their business going to opposing lines; honest merchants are undersold by others who have no scru ples in making private contracts with railroads. Honest railroads and mer chants are thus compelled of necessity to break the law themselves or face certain ruin. Two changes should be made in the present laws to better the condition of affairs. First, the imprisonment clause should be stricken out and a fine of $5,000 imposed instead. The shipper should not be punished at all in his ef forts to secure low rates. Should you punish him you would not be able to secure his testimony. Second, railroads should be permit ted to contract with each other for the maintenance of rates and the division of business. These would legalize con tracts between railroad corporation. To-day such a contract would bo con spiracy. There should be no friction between the interstate commerce laws and the railroads, but the commission should become the aid of the railroads. Unless some change is made as has been indicated the small shippers will be extinguished, and a few men of large capital will control the entire merchandise business. A resolution of thanks was voted Mr. Ingalls for his address, and his suggestions were referred to a special committee.

ODD DUCKS OF PORT TAMPA. . Of the Wild Variety Tliey Respond Readily to Man's Call. The most Interesting thing at Tort Tampa is the duck. Port Tampa is a collection of piers, but there is a hotel built on piles that are dressed in sewer pipe trousers to keep the teredo away. No shooting is allowed around the grounds or the piers, and, of course, not a little stuff Is thrown from the hotel that Is good food for ducks, pell cans and gulls. Accordingly these birds come about the hotel in flocks, and not only are they without fear of the people there, but they have learned to come for food when any one whistles for them as if for a dog. "At flrst it seems as if the birds come aa readily to the call of one person as of another, but the fact Is that two or three people about tbe hotel are on speaking terms with them. The birds know their voices, and are plainly very friendly with them. At an old boat landing stage the pelicans gather a doz en at a time, and, sitting there in the sun, preen their feathers and ecraloh their ribs with their long, ungainly looking bills. The fact that a lot of people are standing six feet away Is In no way disturbing to them unless some unmannerly fellow pokes them with a cane. In that event the bird gives the Intruder a white-eyed look of astonish ment and utters a protest In a voice I that Is so gentle and delicate as to make one wonder where in the world such an ungainly bird got It. Then It flops its way to safety beyond the piers. If undisturbed the pelicans often pil low their heads on their backs aid take a nap, but in that position they are quickly observed by the tourist who thinks !t is fun to make trouble for quiet follcs, and they are quickly snared by a cane-crook and sent flapping to the water. "Only the smaller ducks come about the hotel, but they are excedlngly beau tiful and graceful In their movements, while the gulls In their dancing flight are of endless interest. No one has tried to teach the birds to come to hand foi food, It Is said, but It Is plain tliat any one with knowledge and tact and love might establish an acquaintance there that would enable him to write a most Interesting story about our feathered brothers afloat."
