Fluno Practice and Pram
Leschetizky, the famous teacher of
the piano in Vienna, often brightens
his talk with reminiscence. "I al
ways practiced a piece with six dried
peas," he said to one pupil. "When
I began I would lay the six peas on
the piano rack side by side. Then
when I had played tho piece through
perfectly, or a part of it, I would put
one of the peas In my pocket. And so
I would go on until I had played it
through perfectly six times in sue- ,
cession and all the peas were in my '
pockets. But if I made a single mis
take, say in the third playing or the
fourth playing. I would put the six
peas on the rack and begin all over
again. Whoever practices with six
efried peas is sure to play as well as
he can."—Ladies' Home Journal.

£ye* Llkfl Telescope*.
It has often been remarked that
civilized people tend to become short- I
sighted. This is because in towns and
cities their vision is mostly confined
to short distances. Savage races, on
the other hand, are generally gifted
with remarkably keen sight, and few
tribes are more noteworthy in this re
spect than the Africau Bushmen,
whose eyes are veritable telescopes.
This power is, says a writer, no doubt
a wise provision of nature, for the
Bushmeu are a small race, and if they
were not able to see danger a long
way off they would soou be extermi
nated by their various enemies,
whether savages of other tribes or
wild beasts.
A traveler in South Africa relates
that while walking one day in com
pany with a friendly Bushman, the
savage suddenly stopped, and, gazing
across the plain, cried out that there
was a lion ahead. The traveler gazed
long and earnestly in the direction in
dicated by the Bushman, but could see
nothing. "Nonsense," he said,
"thero's nothing there." And he went
forward again, with the Bushman fol
lowing at his heels, trembling and un
willing, aud still asserting that he
could see a lion.
Presently the native came to a dead
stop, and refused to budge another
inch; for this time, he declared, he
could see a lioness with a number of
cubs, a fact which made the animal
more dangerous tliau ever. But the
European, who could see no lioness,
much less its cubs, pushed ahead, de
claring the Bushman was dreaming.
After walking a quarter of a mile, how
ever, he could dimly make out au ob
ject moving across the horizon. Still
doubting that it could be the object
which the Bushmau said he had seen,
he continued to advauce, and at lasl
was able to distinguish a lioness, with
her cubs around her, walking leisurely
toward the woods.—Pall Mall Ga
zette.
Milken Eec* of Bare Birds.
In these times, when such rarities
as the egg of the extinct great auk are
constantly chaugiug hands, the prices
running into the hundreds of pounds,
it is interesting to learn that there is
in Paris a man who makes an excel
lent living by manufacturing the eggs
of rare birds and selliugthem to pub
lic institutions and amateurs of orni
thology. He seems to be a workman
of exceeding skill. A visitor actually
saw him make a penguin's egg that
could not be distinguished from tiie
genuine model displayed before him.
The shell was made of plaster of pans,
which after being cast was hardened
by burning and then glazed. Another
of his methods is to turn the eggs of n
common species into those of a rarer
one. For instance, the eggs of a com
mon fly-catcber are almost worthless,
but treated with chemicals they ac
quire the bluish-green, shining color
of the high-priced eggs of the silk
tail. A common duck egg is stained
a silvery green and is then passed ofl
as the egg of a falcon, which is worth
from $8 to $lO. Pigeons' and wood
pigous' eggs are also easily trans
formed into the eggs of scarce birds.
The ordinary lark's egg, colored a
dusty brown, becomes the egg of the
nightingale, which is difficult to pro
cure and therefore very expensive.
The Origin of Writing.
The origin of writing is a subject
that has much exercised the learned of
late, and Professor Houiinel, of Mun
ich, has communicated to the Society
of Biblical Archmology some further
proofs of his theory that the Egyptian
hieroglyphics were imported from
Babylonia, where picture-writing is
known to have preceded the cunei
form. In the discussion wnich followed
the reading of Professor Hommel'a
paper, the Rev. C. J. Ball, chaplain of
Lincoln's Inn and a distinguished
Babylonian scholar, said that he had
no doubt that the ancient Babylonian
picture-characters were the origin of
the Egyptian hieroglyphics aud of the
Chinese characters as well. As these
three scripts, the Babylonian, the
Egyptian and the Chinese, are im
measurably older than auy other yet
discovered—aud Mr. Bull is generally
held to have proved his case so far as
Chinese is concerned—we may look
upon the Babylonians as the first in
ventors of the art of putting thoughts
on paper.—Pall Mall Gazette.

THE EXCELLENCE OF SYRUP OF FIGS

simplicity of the combination, but also
to the care and skill with which it is

true and original remedy. As the
genuine Syrup of Figs is manufactured

Important Charge to a Jury.
Judge Monks, of the Supreme
Court of Indiana, Judge Wright, Su
preme Court of New York, and Judge
Woodward, of Luzerne County, Penn
sylvania, are said to have coucurred
in the opinion that grand juries are
legally able to indict Boad Commis
sioners who fail to keep the roads of
their districts in good and proper
order.
Judge Wright said, in charging a
grand jury at Borne, N. Y., "Every
Commissioner of Highways is answer
able if he fails to perform his duties
properly, and all who are guilty of
criminal neglect should be punished.
It is your—tho grand jury's—duty to
inquire into the conduct of public
oiiicers and bring bills against any
guilty of criminal neglect. It will be
your duty, gentlemen, wherever tho
old labor system prevails, to see that
the Commissioners do their duty faith
fully."
Continuing, he said that tho people
of Oswego County are helping to pay
for their good loads in other counties
of the Stnte which have taken advan
tage of the Higbie-Armstrong law.
Fifty per ceut. of the cost of the con
struction of a road is paid by State
taxation, thirty-fivo by the county in
which the road is located, and fifteen
per cent, by the petitioners for the
improvement. He then explained tho
Fuller law, which provides that a cer
tain per centage of the cost of high
way improvements in towns adopting
the money system is paid by the
State. In this country the residents
of the several road districts work out
their tax.
Oswego County was paying its share
for the improvements to roads in
other counties of tho State that have
adopted tho system named, and a
careful inquiry should be made to as
certain if the Highway Commissioners
and Pathmasters of Oswego County
were honestly discharging their duties
here.—Oswego Daily Palladium.
Clean lload Metal.
A principle learned from MacAdam
was that "broken stone, p-fymed anil
compacted, would cohere together and,
j by the mutual friction of its parts,
bear and distribute heavy pressures
as well as if it actually were tho smooth
aud solid slab it seems." But when
earth is mixed with the stone the fric
tion is reduced by nearly one-half, the
material is less compact anil firm and
is much less capable of bearing hoavv
loads. Moisture affects the volume of
f clay. Roads in which it is used rut
badly iu wet weather, even though
they are very thick, while thinner
roads in which it is not used, but iu
which the stones are pressed together
by their own augles through adequate
rolling, remain firm aud smooth, ltoad
metal should be clean, and free from
clay. The use of clay is attractive,
because, with it, light rolliug seems
to give a good smooth surface, but
this is only temporary and is unsatis
factory aud expensive iu tho end.—
L. A. W. Bulletin.
A Good Example.
An enterprising paper iu an Illinois
city offers to donate SIOOO to the cause
of road improvement "in order to se
cure hard roads for the benefit ot the
farmers" of the county and for the
city in which it is published. The
sum of SIOO will be given on the com
pletion of one mile of gravel road on
each of ten roads, on the following
terms:
"This amount of SIOO shall be due
and payable to tho Commissioners of
Highways of the township in which
said one mile of road is located for the
particular purposo above mentioned
when one mile has been completed
from the city limits of the city on
each road respectively. The one mile
on each read must be built in a sub
-1 stautial manner, of good material,
under the supervision of competent
engineers, and must be completed
within three years from January 1,
1899, and under specifications agreed
on by three practical hard road au
thorities."
Improving New Jersey nißliways.
The annual report of tho Commis
sioner of Public Bonds in New Jersey
shows a gratifyiug continuance of the
good work of improving the high
ways. Since the passage of the State
aid law there have been built 325
miles of road at a cost of $505,820.
Tho economy to tho farmer in hauling
products to railway or market is clear
ly demonstrated, and the profit to the
community at large of this investment
of public money may be studied to ad
vantage by the Legislatures of other
States. Tho report directs especial
attention to the experiment that is to
be made of laying steel roads for heavy
traffic, as suggested by Secretary Wil
son, of the Department of Agriculture.
The progress of New Jersey in road
building has earned iu particular the
approval aud appreciation of bicyclists,
who can now wheel with comfort from
New York to Philadelphia.
The Crusade In Hi-lcf.
Use clean road material.
Undertake road improvement sys
tematically.
Appoint a supervisor who will have
charge of all the road work.
Mane road improvements in such a
way that they will be permanent.
Classify roads according to the na
ture and extent of the traffio over
them.
Do not scatter money in making
trifling repairs ou temporary struc
tures.
Make road beats five miles in
length; choose the best men as path
masters, and keep them in office.
Boads, culverts and bridges will al
ways be required; their construction
in the most durable manner is most
economical.
