Street Roadways.

Martin Dodge, the Ohio State road
commissioner, is an enthusiast on thé
subject of steel roadways. He esti-
mates that a double track road, 'the

tracks laid sixteen feet apart and the

space-between the rails of each track
filled in with broken stones, macadam
size, would cost much less than a good
macadam road and the cost of a country
one-track road about half as much as
the double track. He says that such a
road would last much longer than a
stone road, and’ that one horse will
draw on a steel track twenty times as
much as on a dirt road and five times
as much as on macadam.

A Pleaifor the Apple.

The Medical Review, calls attention.
to the fact of the translation by a Brook-
lyn physician,.of a German scientist’s
He
“The apple is such a common

 

says;

fruit that few-persons are familiar with ‘

its remarkable eflicacious medicinal
properties. Everybody ought to know
that the very best thinz- he can do is to
eat apples just before going to bed.
The apple is excellent brain food, be-
eluse it has more phosphoric acid, in
an .easily digestible shape, than any
other fruit known. It excites the action
of the liver, promotes sound and healthy
sleep, and thoroughly disinfects the
mouth. It also agglutinates the sur-
plus acids of the stomach, helps the
iiidney secretions, and prevents a cal-
culus growth, while it obviates indiges-
tion and is one of the best prevetives of
diseases of the throat. Next to lemon
and orange, it is liltU the best antidote

‘ for the thirst and" craving of persons

addicted to the alcohol and opium
habit.”

Free Government Seeds.

Secretary Morton, of the Department
of Agriculture, while compelled by law
to distribute tree seeds enough to plant
acres in every Congressional
district, at a cost of $70,000 annualv to
the Poet Office Department alone, re-
gards the practice as a wasteful and use-

less expenditure of public money, and -

in his report speaks his mind about the
matter in good plain English.
While there is much force in Secre-

tary Morton’s objections to this extrav-,

agance, it will not be reformed during
his administration and probably never.
Seeds wisely distributed are expected
to make each Congressman the idol of

his constituents and to secure for him‘

a. life-lease of his seat, and while

this delusion prevails the soundest ar- A

elements aginst the extravagance will
fail to secure its repeal.

Congressmen are not all farmers, but
those who are not are willing to farm
the farmers at the public expense, and
for this reason the. free seed abuse is
certain to be a long-lived one.

Great Depreciation in Horses.

Once upon a time horses were con-
sidered a valuable possession and a man
who owned a number of horses was
considered wealthy. Electricity and
the bicycle have changed all that, and

it has come to pass in certain sections

of the‘ country that ownership of a large
herd of horses is considered the equiva-
lent of practical bankruptcy.

It is said that the ranchers of the
State of Washington are hoping that

the severe winter will rid them of 105,-_

030 head of horses, whic'i eat up their
bunch grass and cannot be sold at any
price. Horses there are said to go beg-
ging at a dollar apiece. Cattle and
sheep find purchasers at some price,
12 it nobody wants horses because they
But their heads off and bicycles and
trollev ears'take people where they
.want to go and require neither food not
grooming.

While the horse semes to be in tem.
parary eclipse, it would be unwise to
assume that he is to become extinct.
Fashions and fads change, and the
horse may come into fashion again.
he has proved a very useful animal for a
geod many thousands of years and 'his
usefulness and staying powers are not

' exhausted yet.

The Mediuin Was-Correct.

Mr. Greville was persuaded, when he
was over sixty-five years of age, to at:
tend a spiiitualistic seance. Fostei, the
presiding medium, was in gieat fo11n,
and the revelations were astounding.
Gicville sat ,silent, and his aged, wiz—
cned face was emotionless as a mask.
Suddenly the medium grew excited,
and said to the old gentlemunz—~

"A female form is bending over you.
011, the extraordinary likeness!"

Gieville sighed.

“She lifts her hands to bless y.”0u

Gicville sighed again.

“It is your mother!"

“Ah, poor thing," said Gi'evillc;
am glad."

“She smiles!
with 1101'!"

(li'cville sighed again,
“I‘m delighted!”

‘ She says she will see you soon. You
1110 old, and you must see 1101 before
long. ” "/

A Great Pace Needed.
“Swellhend is rapidly moving up in
the world.”
"Yes, but he‘ll have to hustle if he
ever catches up with his own opinion
of himself.”

 

It has been demonstrated that women
pi'ompters’ voices are more distinct on
the stage, and are less audible in the
auditorium, than men's voices.
