Farmers and Good Koadn. It Is a very singular thing th' the failure of a bill Keeking to encourage the construction and maintenance of good roads in rural counties of Illinois idioiilil he Klgnnlized lis a treat tri umph for the farmers over the bicy clists. It is true that in pursuit of their hump backed Kport the bicyclists pre fi't .t hard, smooth road to one which Is too soft to be land and too thick to be water. liyt the bicyclist does not have to ride. He rides chiefly for fun and can defer his pleasure untli the roads dry up. To the farmer, however, good roads ore a vital necessity. As the roads stand to-day the farmer is blockaded by mud a great part of the year, and it often costs him more to get his crops from his farm to the railroad station than from the station to market, sev eral hundred miles away. Yet year af ter year he goes on building quagmires and calling them roads and denounc ing the railroad compnnles for charg ing extravagant freight rates. If he only knew it his penny-wise and pound foolish policy in the matter of road building is what has fastened the col lar of railroad domination so securely about his neck. Hy letting the public highways which all may freely use go to ruin and become Impassable the farmer has forced himself and hU neighbors to use the highways con trolled by railroad corporations, for Hie u-ii of which all must pay and pay heavily. The Illinois fanners who so eagerly wish to defeat measures pro viding that good roads may be con structed ought to find a certain slgnill cance in the fact that in the Last, where the effort for the Improvement of country highways has made great er progress, the strongest influence ar rayed against g aid road bills is that of Ihe raili'iimls. Nowhere can unscientifically made roads lie worse than In Illinois, for the soft, rich soil of our prairies Ih ,np-kly turned into inire hy a drizzling rain. I'.ut now heie can roads lie scl"iili!ically built as cheaply lis in this State, level as a burn Hour ami well provided w ith ston,..

The far-reaching and splendidly maintained road sys tem has distinctly favored the success of the small landed proprietors, and In their prosperity and ensuing distribu tion of wealth lies the key to the secret of the wonderful financial vlfalliy and solid prosperity of the French nation." The Trick of a Matc'ciaa and a bitnpla Kipfanation of the S.ime. Among interesting things to be seen at the Eden Mus -e, New York, perhap. one of the most curious and at the same time scientilic is the weird spec tacle entitled "She," exhibheil by I'ow ell, the well known illusii ,-iist. and ii gested by the cave scene in Wider Ilag gfird'M cedebrated novel, 'She,-' says the Scientilic American. In this scene a young lady mounts a table arranged in tin alcove formed of a folding sereeu. Above the victim is suspended a cylin drical cloth screen. The screen la lowered to the level of the table, com pletely inclosing the subject. The ta ble apparently has four legs, and four candles shown beneath it Indicate that the space underneath the table is open and clear. The cylindrical screen is shown to be entire, with openings only at the upper and lower ends, and no openings are seen in the folding screen which partly surrounds the table, ("p ou the tiring of a pistol the occupant of the table is Ignited, and smoke and flame bursting from the screen indi cate that the work of destruction Is going on within. When the lire Is burned out the screen Is lifted and nothing remains utsip the table but a few smouldering embers and a pile of bones surmounted by a skull. Closo observation does not reveal any way of escape for the young woma. It is, however, obvious that Ihe magician cannot afford to sacrifice such a subject every evening, and the spectators are forced to conclude that the whole affair Is a very clever trick. In fact, it Is simply a modification of the beheaded lady and numerous other tricks based upon the use of plain mirrors. The table has but two legs, the oth er two which appear being simply re flections. The central standard sup ports but two candles, the other two being reflections. I'mlei tn-alh the table and converging at the central standard are arranged two plain mirrors at an angle of '.HI- degrees will each other, and do degrees ith the side panels of the sereeu.

What Ther Mean. Good roads mean a treat deal more than mere convenience. They mean more than saving money, which, how ever, Is a matter of no umall Impor tance, i ney mean a more intimate re latlonshlp between the city and coun try people, to the mutual advantage of both. They mean that living In the country for nix ruontlm In the year shall not be practical Isolation. Poor roads keep the farmer and his family at borne at that season of the year when they have the most leisure, when time bangs heavily, when It could and would add to their enjoyment social ly and advantage educationally If a frequent drive to the town or city or a rlstt among the neighbors and friends living at a distance of a few miles could be taken. Kcttliiisr it ISiaggart. A big Frenchman was talking in loud and blustering times about his many achleveiiient.s in duelling as he traveled the oihur day, In company with several passengers, in the smoking-car of one of the railway trains, in the corner opposite to lilm sat a small man quietly reading a maga zine, and to him he leaned over and arrogantly said: "Monsieur, w hat would you do If you were challenged '!" "1 should refuse," was the unhesi tating reply. "Ah! ah! I thought as much. Refuse and be branded n coward! But If a gentleman offered you the choice of a duel or a public whipping, then what'.'" "I'd take the whipping." "Ah! all! I thought so. I thought so from your looks. Suppose, monsieur, you had foully slandered ,iueV "I never slander." "Then, monsieur, suppose I had coolly and deliberately insulted you; w hat would you do';" "I'd rise up like this, put down my book this way, reach over like this, and take him by the nose and give it a proper soft of twist - just so!" hen Ihe Utile man relinquished hiH grip of the big man's nasal organ, his neighbor slid away In abject ter ror, to escape the bullets which would surely be flying at once; tint there was no shooting. The big man turned crimson -then white-then looked the little man over and remarked: "Ah certainly of course that's It exactly J" And then the conversation took a turn on the prospect of the war be tween China and Japan. Luot; lAZe of Farmers. Purlng thirty-four years and eight nonths, says an article in Current Lit erature, there died in the State of Mas sachusetts 101 .Mi men of over 3) years of age, whose occupations were speci fied in the registry of their diseases. The average age at which they died was ol years. The number is so great and the period covered is so long that by the study of the classification of the employment of those dead we can get a very fair Idea of the comparative age at which men in different occupations and in an ordinarily healthy commu nity are swept away by death. It is noticeable that of all who died the culti vators of the earth attained the highest average age, about tioVi years, and they make up more than a fifth of the total number. We all know why farmers as a class, not only in this, but in all coun tries, should live to a ripe old age. They enjoy good air and are free from many of the cares that beset those llvlug in the cities, to say nothing of the con stant noise and excitement which de stroys the nerves and racks the system. It is rarely that a farmer dies before his head Is gray. Farmers, as a rule, too, do not to any degree indulge in alcoholic leverages. One Important fact must be taken Into consideration concerning the fanner and his age, which Is that the weaklings of the farm er's family do not, as a rule, remain on the farm after attaining an age titling them for some pursuit. Such are sent to cities to choose a trade or profession, and only the strong and heallhy ones who are fitted for the work are retained upon the farm. Kcoiiomy in Keepinn Swine.

At a comparatively Kmall exp-ns every farmer can have well water in his kitchen the year round, thereby saving a great deal of labor, and can have it pure at all times. A force pump and a little extra piping will le all the expense. Instead of laying the piping directly to the tank, run it through the house to a small tank over your sink. The pipe should come up through the llnl FlO. 1.- IN'sIliK VIKW OK I'Hil.F.liV. through the center.

The roof ex. tends over a section of 14 feef, in which are the sleeping and nesting quarters. bottom of the small tank, and it Is bet ter to have u stop valve at this point to hold the water lu the tank should the water leak back In the well pipe. Xear the top of the tank have the over flow pipe. This should run to the cat tle tanks, then all water pumped passes through the kitchen, keeping the water In the house tank fresh. In summer this tank should be packed with some heat resisting material. Of course it should have a cover at all times. A faucet near the bottom is very conven ient. Whatever Is spilled drops into the sink and does no harm. Every fanner's wife would appreciate such an arrange ment. American Agriculturist. Trees as Fence Posts. The objection to making use of living trees as fence posts is that as the tree grows the fence will take up too much room. We have frequently seen the willow thus used by thrifty farmers. A willow stake set In early spring right side up, with a few buds at the top will, almost certainly, grow even in dry soil. It will never make a large tree in such position, and if its top is cut off a few feet higher than the fence Is needed it will not shade much ground. It is better to nail a slab or board to tho free slake to fasten the wires to, a they will thus hold better than in ihe soft, green wood. The locust is some times used as a live fence post, but lliis tree grows too largo, and its roots, whenever disturbed by the plow, throw up an innumerable amount of suckers. The locust, tree will soon grow to a sh'.e where each eight foot length may he split up Into a good many fence posts of the best quality. American Cultivator. jj CPf- C" VwW Cy4'" ip.

The typesetting machines are fast thinning out the ranks of the journey man printer, who was once such a familiar character In Ihe newspaper ofllces. One of this class dropped Into the Constitution ofllce night before last. He listened sudly to the click of the linotypes In an adjoining room and said, with a glim humor: "That's The death knell of the tramp printer." He came back an hour afterwards wild some two columns of philosophy and Incident that he ad written, the text of which was the "Glory of the Travel ing Printer." There was the story of Amos Cuminlngs going to the Tribune a tramp printer and getting a Job. "Gov. Hogg, of Texas, once held enses, and he held them In more than one town," the story went. "He is still a member of the union and pays his dues regularly.

' Official estimates place the value of farm animals-horses, cattle, nmles. hogs and sheep in the I'nited States al no less than $l..Kl!),4tC,,:!ot;. This is quite three times the total interest-bearing debt of the country. It is suffi cient to pay off nil the national debt. Including all the treasury notes, bonds, gold and silver certificates, and every thing else, and still leave a balance of $171,01 ,S,.S10. Thus this one compara tively insignificant item of wealth constituting an infinitesimal fraction of the country's possessions is greater by hundreds of millions than the total debt, much of which is amply provided for by gold and silver deposits and in other ways. What possible excuse can there be for a statesmanship which dis credits a country with such resources and compels It to pay per cent, for money to meet temporary treasury needs? Xew York World. Mnkini; Vs. liu.viriir n I.nwn, The business of cutting sod to be transplanted is not so common since most people, even in the cities, have learned how much cheaper and easier it is lo get a better lawn with a little fertilizer and grass seed. A good, rich seed bed Is required to make the trans planted sod fake root, and although for a few days it may look well, when dry weather conies the sodded lawn pre sents a very shabby appearance. A seeded lawn will In a few weeks show a lively green, and It requires much less watering In dry weather than docs the sod. Resides, with a good seed bed, the householder who makes his lawn can select the kinds of grasses that ho wants. Some sweet-scented vernal grass should always be sown. It Is rarely or never found In sods cut for transplanting, as they are usually gath ered by the roadside. Thi-eshlnir Hurley. A brewer of I'eterboro, Out., sends this word to the barley growers: "When you cut your barley, don't thresh ii out at once, but let it stay in, the stack or mow for a month before threshing to sweat. This sweating Is a chemical process which greatly im proves barley for malting purposes. I'.arley threshed as soon as cut never malts well. Hurley is better for being cut slightly green and allowed to stand in the field until dry enough for housing." The older a man (eta, the bar der It Is for a woman to laod nlm. Acorns as Feed. It is true, says a writer in the Jireed ers' Gazette, that acorns If eaten by cows In any considerable quantity will seriously reduce the flow of milk. This fact I learned by experience to my cost mere than forty years ago. After tho flow had been reduced one-half It may by proper feeding be partially regained, but no amount of good food will ever bring the flow back to what It would have been If the shrinkage had not oc curred. To Kill Lice. Kerosene emulsion, diluted, will kill Hce on cows or horses, and yet not In jure the anlmala, but crude petroleum Frozen Vegetables In the Dark. The fact that some vegetables may lie frozen while In the ground without Injury, provided they ore not disturbed until thawed, has led to the belief that the soil somehow "draws" the frost out. Really what the covering does I to exclude light. It Is very Injurious to frozen vegetables to be exposed to light and currents of air. Light causes rot, partly, we suppose, because In the light oxygen, which Is the basis of all decay, is much more active than It is In the darkness. Winter-Bred Parasites It Is very difficult to keep stabled ani mals In winter free from parasites. The hair is thicker at this time, and animals In the stable are unable to dust them selves as they will when they have ac cess to the earth, As you are carding out the Inst year's coat of hair have a vessel containing kerosene emulsion handy, and with a sponge or rag wash the necks of the animals you are groom ing. A weak emulsion will kill all lice and will not Injure the hair. Don't Deceive Huyera.
