SPARED THE ENEMY
A Spanish Governors Generosity In
the War of 1746
In the year 114G when England wns
engaged in war with Spain Captain
Edwards of the Elizabeth of London
coming through the gulf from Jamaica
richly laden met with a violent storm
The ship sprang a leak that obliged
it to run into the port of Havana The
captain went on shore and waited on
the governor and told him of the occa
sion of his putting in adding that he
surrendered the ship as a prize as well
as himself aud crew prisoners of war
only requesting good quarters
No sir replied the governor If
we had taken you in fair sea or ap
proaching our own coast with hostile
intentions your ship would then be a
lawful prize and your people prisoners
but when distressed by the hand of
Providence you come to our port for
safety of your lives we being men
though enemies are bound by the laws
of humanity to afford relief to the dis
tressed who ask it of us We cannot
even against our foes take advantage
of the act of God You have leave
therefore to unload your ship If that
be necessary to stop the leak You
may fit her here and traffic so far be
sides as shall be needful to pay the
charges When repaired you may de
part I will give you a pass to be in
force till beyond Bermuda If after
that you are taken then you will be a
lawful prLv whereas now as you are
only a stranger you have a strangers
right to safety and protection
Here was fairness The ship depart
ed and arrived without any further ac
cident in the port of London
AN ANCIENT BANQUET
Menu of
a Christmas Dinner Served
In Feudal Times
A Christmas dinner in feudal times
said an antiquary was served at 11
oclock in the morning It began with
plum pudding or plum porridge as
they called It In their old fashioned
way a suet pudding stuffed with rai
sins currants prunes mace cloves
and ginger
Next came a boars head on a silver
platter decorated with holly This dish
was heralded with a flourish of trum
pets and the lighting of the great Yule
log The head had a lemon in its
mouth A hot mustard sauce went
with it
The third course was a peacock in
full plumage Its beak was gilded
and it was stuffed with spices and
sweet herbs
Geese and capons followed drench
ed with amber grease and then came
frumenty for which Ill give you the
recipe
The old man read here from his note
book
Frumenty Take clean wheat and
brey it in a moi tar till the hulls be
all gone off and seethe it till It burst
and take it up and let it codl and
take clean fresh broth and sweet milk
of almonds or sweet milk of klne and
temper it all and take the yolks of
eggs Boil it a little and wet it down
and mess it forth with fat venison-
There were other fixings the an
tiquary ended such as hackeu sau
sage brawn pudding and souse cheese
apples and nuts The drinks were
beer malvoisie and sherris sack
Neighbor No one ever hears you and
your husband exchanging words Do
you get along so excellently together
Wife Not at all but we discovered
that the maid listened at the door
Now we quarrel only on Sunday after
noons between 3 and G when she la

HWAYS
Federal Authorities to Co operate
With Minnesota In Using It
PLAN TRIED IN AUSTRALIA
Engineer Cooley Will Experiment on
Road Building In Sandy Soil Clover
Will Be Planted Cut and Mixed
With Sand
George W Cooley engineer and sec
retary of the state highway commis
sion of Minnesota has secured the co
operation of the public road office at
Washington and the bureau of plant
Industry In his plans for experiment
ing In the construction of roads in
sandy districts says the St Paul
Pioneer Press Experiments along this
line were authorized at the last meet
ing of the highway commission and
will be commenced next spring
Mr Cooley plans to make two or
three experiments along this line One
road probably will be constructed near
Breckenrldge and the others In places
where similar conditions exist Local
authorities have found it practically
impossible to build roads in sandy soil
where no clay gravel or broken stone
can be obtained except at an expense
so great as to make it out of the ques
tion and it is for the purpose of find
ing some means of building good roads
under such conditions that the experi
ments will be made
The federal public roads authorities
have become interested In the plan and
will assist to the extent of paying a
part of the expense The local author
ities of the districts in which the roads
are to be built will be asked to pco
vide a superintendent for the work
who will carry out the plans of the en
gineer
Mr Cooleys plan is to plant clover
in the road and along the sides for
some distance and when the clover
attains a good growth and before it
begins to dry to cut it and mix it
with the sand in the roadway In this
way it is expected that the nature of
the soil will be so changed in a year
or two as to make It excellent mate
rial for road building
In a communication from the bu
reau of plant industries this question
is discussed and the opinion is given
that it is entirely feasible Yellow
sweet clover is suggested as the kind
best adapted for this work On this
subject the communication states
The last named plant has been cred
ited with so completely changing the
character of the sandy soil on Kings
island near Australia as to make It
exceedingly productive and they are
especially adapted to growing In sandy
land
The experiments will be started next
spring where the proper conditions are
found and the assistance of the local
authorities can be secured and will be
continued for one or two 3ears as the
progress of the experiment shows is
necessary If the first years work
does not bring the soil to a condition
which is satisfactory for roadmaking
purposes the same treatment will be
given the next year and even the third
year if it proves necessary
ROAD MAINTENANCE
Value of Patrolling Highways to Keep
Them In Good Condition
The utter wastefulness and lack of
economy in building roads and making
no provision for their repair and main
tenance are becoming more and more
apparent to taxpayers The importance
of the subject Is appreciated in some
states and measures have been adopt
ed There are however many com
munities where the necessary steps
have not yet been taken The subject
Is treated pertinently by W Pierre
pont White in a recent article in Out
ing Magazine In this article Mr
White says
Not one cent of money should be
expended in the creation of these ex
pensive highways unless at the same
time a system of careful maintenance
and repair is established
Steam roads when first built were
permitted to run down ties to rot the
ends of iron rails to flatten bolts in
the fish plates to become loose until a
general overhauling was ordered and
an excessively expensive amount of
repairs was made owing to the neg
lect Today well managed roads do
not permit this But each road is di
vided into sections under engineers
under assistant engineers under sec
tion bosses with men passing daily up
and down the road giving it constant
repair and attention This we are fa
miliar with
In Europe highways are patrolled
in the same way Men usually old
patrol the roads under their care each
in charge of a section each responsi
ble for its condition and the slightest
hole in the wearing surface is detect
ed repaired and filled in immediately
after it commences Ruts are detected
and filled sluices and ditches kept
open and washing of the sides stopped
and only by this constant care are
roads kept in good condition This
same system must come to this coun
try and be inaugurated at the time
that the general improvement is made
otherwise the peoples money will bo
thrown away
Signs For Roads
Signboards of blue enamel are to be
placed by the state highway depart
ment of Pennsylvania on all state
roads completed during the present
year The signs will be eighteen inch
es long by one foot wide and will con
tain the name of the road the date
and State Highway Keep to the
