PuBLISHIB, Under the new road law enlarging thn Dowera of road supervisor and the requirement of a cash tax, then Is no reason why, If proper official- are eleoted, the county should not have good roads, or at least great improvement in them. Money Jndi- oiously Bent and work intelligently done mi show benefloial results The practice of patohlng roads or ranking the repairs in a temporary way is not profitable, because not Iiciii.Hiient . Whatever is done should bo we'll and substantially finished. One great uWrlmeiit to making roads good is allowing water to stand on, ami c.n hills allowing it to run down over the road. Water must be kepi out of the road or the work will not be permanent. On the level, or where Dearly so, roadsshooldba well roandtd and on grades or bill good tide d'.tcht a must be provided, and in the end tile or cement drain plpef are most economical where water Is to be carried across a road. This Is a kind of between hay and grass period for newspapers. Nut much news, cold weat her keeps foils from traveling and the editor has a scratching time. If people in the county would fur nlsb items relating to their neighbor hood, births, deaths and marriages, and home happenings they wonld be greatly enjoyed. There is no bettei school for young people than putting on paper news items. It gives them r manner of writing, develops ingen ulty in forming sentences and niaket them exact in thinking. We would welcome correspondence from any sooroe, which is reliable and would be pleased to have a number from different parts of the county on our list. We invite boys and girls to so cept the offer.

The soap tree yields a product from which is manufactur ed tbe purest article of soap that Is pouslble to be made. Indeed, the pulp of the berry Is a natural soap and will make a lather almost like the manufactured article. The soap ber ry tree is now creating widespread In terest, and the berries are being Im ported from Algiers and China. It will pay to plant the trees and 'nok after their cultivation. The pro 'net of the tallow tree also enters nto the making of soap, and the two ogether make - a nice combination, r.d their cultivation should be looked ft it by those in new industries, ha idvs soap, the soap berries make a cry line oil, and when the virtue f the tallow tree are fully known It nay also yield a fine and protltable '11.

FI8HES WITH ITS WINGS. Naturalist's Observation en the Sly Way of the Cassowary. Habits of the cormorant and of our native nsh hawk are generally known. Their methods ot taking fish are very much like those of birds of prey. Hut the cassowary fishes according to a( method of Its own. A well knonn naturalist witnessed Its operations co a river In the Island ot New Hrltaln. He saw a cassowary come down to the water's edge and stand for so.ne minutes apparently watching the wa ter carefully. It then stepped Into the liver where It was about three feet deep, and partially squatting down, spread Its wings out, submerging them, the feathers being spread and ruffled. The bird remained motionless, and kept its eyes closed as If In sleep. It remained In this position for a qunr ter of an hour when suddenly closing Its wings and straightening its fe utt ers It stepped out on tbe bank. Here It shook Itself several times, wae e upon a quantity of small flshet fe,l out of Its wings snd frn-n amid U feathers. These the bird loomed ute ly picked up and swallowed. The fishes had evidently mit-'rca the feathers for a kind of weed ' ;t grows in the water along the b- 'i ot the liver In this Island and r' ci much resemble the feathers of ' cassowary. The smallest fish en ' t!a In these weeds to avoid the h 1 ones that prey on them. St. Paul .., neer Press. A Sporting Chance.
