Burmah grows a hard wood called
pyinkadoe, which, the British have
found, makes excellent railroad sleep

sell the wood, having discovered that
the British engineers know a little
about it, have taken to dyeing cheap
wood a reddish color and palming it

Colonies of Ants.
One mound in particular, a groined
columnar structure was 18 feet high.
This was not far from Port Darwin.
The discoverer believes that originally
the mound was conical in shape. The
?sides were smooth. It hus evidently
Jbeen in use for many years, and tho
columnar effect noticeable, he be
lieves, is due to the fact that tho ants,
incessantly traveling the pathways
np and down the mound, produced
the grooves that are seen, and re
sulted in giving the ellect of a
columnar formation. The eutranee
to the mound, examination showed,
had varied in location, for there was
distinct evidence that apertures of
this sort had been walled up in sev
eral instances.
The interior of the mound referred
to showed as much ns anything the
remarkable instinct of the ants. It
was divided up very much after tho
fashion of the tall buildings which are
now becoming so common, with an
immense court within the structure
itself-that is, thero were hundreds
'of tiny cells built in from galleries
which were terraced one above the
other. The galleries wero connected
by paths of stairways, each of these
being consti neted with architectural
exactness. The cells reminded one,
the explorer said, of tho cell of a
monk. The earth in each instance
was as hard and smooth as marble and
bore evidence of long-continued
usage. A portion of thc ground floor,
or basement, of the mound had been
divided up into storerooms, and here
it was evident the ants had carefully
packed away the provender which
they had secured from various points
about.-San Francisco Call.

FARMERS OF THE SOUTH.
SECRETARY WILSON TALKS ON THEIR
NEEDS AND OPPORTUNITIES.
Benefits to Th ??m by thc Increase in Farm
Products-Xew Crons and Afore Diver
sified Farming Are Seeded-Dairy
Farming Should Also lie Encouraged.
Secretary of Agriculture Wilson bas
been interviewed upon the subject of
farming in the Southern Statss by a
representative of the Manufacturers'
Record, of Baltimore. Wo quote from
the interview as follows:
"How has the South been benefited
by the increases in farm products?"
"It has been benefited in propor
tion as other sections of the country.
What that proportion is cannot bo ap
proximated. It is best to look at gen
eral facts. The South produces crops
peculiarly its own-fruits, all varieties
of vegetables, to! acco, rice, sugar, cot
ton, etc.-all of vhich ave in demand
in their own, Western and Northern
markets, and some in foreign markets.
If times are prosperous, if the prosper
ity of the people at large is augmented
by the prosperity of tho farmer, are
not the products of any one section,
say the ?South, whether they are ne
cessities or luxuries, more in demand
everywhere, aud, therefore, are not
their prices increased?"
"What are the mo3t urgent needs
of the Southern farmer?"
"Oh! That is the question. All
farmers everywhere may be said to
need something. Everybody in every
business or trade may be said to need
something, though he may be getting
along all right. There is room for im
provement in every walk of life. I
might answer your question in a gen
eral way, as so mauy have auswered it.
I have already spoken upon the needs
of a resuscitated soil. I know the
Southern people to be industrious.
But I am going to find out and study
thoroughly their needs, and I am go
ing to satisfy those needs as far as it
lies in my power. I am going all
through the South in October. I am
not going as a high commissioner or
special ambassador, or special envoy,
or anything of that style. I shall not
go in a special car, viewing the coun
try from a car window while traveling
at the rate of forty or fifty miles an
hour. I shall go as a plain American
citizen. I want facts, and facts only.
I want to see the farmer in his shirt
sleeves, not the politician, with his
high-sounding and plausible theories.
I can get all of these I Avant right here
in Washington."
"What are the general needs of the
Southern farmer as far as you have
had au opportunity to observe them?"
"New crops and lots of them, more
diversified farming, inore up-to-date
methods in some sections, more gen
eral and liberal raising of cattle for
market and for d'.riry products, and
sheep for mutton and wool.
"One general need of the Southwest
is a closer relation and a more rapid
communication with the European
markets, and with this object in view
I have already placed myself ir. corre
spondence ?with several ocean steamship
companies to induce them to establish
lines direct between the ports of the
Gulf of Mexico and those of Europe,
the steamships to be provided with re
frigerators, so that the fruits, vegeta
bles, dairy products, poultry, eggs
and other perishable farm products can
be shipped expeditiously to all the
markets of Europe.- - Just think of the
vast territory to be benefited by such
an enterprise-Southern Alabama,
Mississippi, Louisiana, Texas,;^rk.anr_|
ui i-fm.* .ju. mw mme* vu mo urtfiTthan |
to the Atlantic seaboard. Why the
farmers of thc Southwest will be nearer
European markets than their brethren
of the upper Mississippi valley.
"The Southern farmer should pay
special attention, and be is already be
ginning to do so, to more crops. At
least three-fourths of every farm should
be grass, should be a pasturage, thus
affording that relief, that rost, which
the Southern farms needs most. Sheep
can be raised advantageously because
they can graze all the year round. Their
mutton should command good prices,
and their dowu should bo in demaud
and could be marketed at a greater
profit than heretofore. The projected
closer communication with European
markets should encourage dairy farm
ing in the SouthAvest upon a large
scale. Hogs should be raised only
incidentally to other live stock. Un
like cows and sheep, they produce
nothing but their own meat for our
consumption. And ye! hog-raising
should be conducted profitably in the
South. Already the ham of the
Southern hog has gained a prominence
world-wide. Wild fruits,* roots and
nuts are in such prolusion in the
woods that tho hog can be raised
cheaply, and that delicious flavor is
imported to Iiis flesh as can be gained
nowhere else. The lard hogs should
not be raised to any great extent. They
are not profitable in the South.
"Speaking for myself, I might say
that I have encouraged the raising of
sugar beets in the South. I Bee that
a wealthy syndicate of Virginians has
been formed at Richmond to grow
beets in their Stat**. A factory to re
Quo the product is to bo erected ut
Richmond. I expect to see other
companies to conduct the same busi
ness throughout the Houth. I nm
j'oing to introduce the English walnut
in some sections of the South adapted
:o its growth. I shall also iutroduce
he Bermuda lily. Wc import this
product for decoration purposes from
Bermuda to the value of $60,000 every
Fear. Why should not our Southern'
'armers make this money? I shall
earn during my visit what and where
)i her new crops can be advantageously
frown."
Hi< Life Saved hy His Small Dog.
John Van Der Wert', about thirty
Ive years old, of Gloucester, was
onnd buried up tu his neck in mud in
. marsh near Newtown Creek Bridge,
Philadelphia, recently, by Edward
?Jarey. Carey was walking along the
racks when a small dog came rushing
oward him, whining i a piteous
aanner. It then rushed toward the
narah, and finally Carey concluded
0 investigate the cause of the dog's

NEXT WORLD'S FAIR.
Great Prostration* For the Exposition at
Taris in 1900.
Although the Paria Exhibition,
which will mark the close of the nine
teenth century, is still three years in
the future, the French capital has ita
preparations for the great event well
under way. The remarkable extent
and beauty of the World's Fair at Chi
cago have stimulated the civic pride ol
Paris, and no pains will bo spared to
I make tho exhibition of 1900 surpass
even that of 1893.
In auticipation of the approaching
event several grand public works,
which will add greatly to the beauty
of the city, have already been begun.
A noble avenue is to be opened from
the Champs Elyees to the Hotel doa
Invalides, crossing tho Seine by the
great Bridge of Alexander III., the
cornerstone of which was laid by the
Tsar during his visit to Paris last
year.
At the appel end of this avenue two
beautiful art palaces, which are to be
permanent additions to the public
museums of the city, as well as fea
tures of the exhibition, are ueing built.
And finally, the Seine in the neighbor
hood of the exhibition grounds is to
be transformed into a sort of Venetian
canal, lined with palaces, terraces and
Italian gardens, and furnished with
broad embankments for use as prom
enades.
All of these undertakings are now
fairly begun, and upon the most mag
nificent scale. The Pout Alexander
III. will be nearly two hundred feet
in width, and its single arch crowned
by monuments of heroic size will oc
cupy three y?ajs in the building.
The exhibition itself is planned up
on lines of equal grandeur, and there
is every reason to expect that it will
prove the most extensive and varied
display of the products of civilization,
useful aud beautiful, which the world
has ever seen.
Our own country has not yet offi
cially accepted the invitation to take
part, but will soon do so. It is to be
hoped that the American nation will
be represented by a display in all re
spects worthy of itself and of tho oc
casion, and that Americans who visit
the great fair will have no reason tc
blush at seeing the Republic outdone
in the friendly rivalry.-Youth's Com
panion.
Thc "Autocar" Not Wanted.
The true answer to the question i\-2
to whether or not the world wants the
automobile car is prol vbly that it does
and it does not. It seems to be quite
clear that the world does not waut thc
present car, as far ns it has been re
vealed. Tho world is well satisfied
with the horse. It has an affection for
the horse that it can never have for
any mere machine. The horse is sec
ond only to the human form divine in
the spectacular and the picturesque.
The horse is in no danger of being
supplanted except by an abler and a
better servant, and this tho "autocar"
must prove itself before it comes to bo
wanted.
The objections to tho present "auto
car," distributed through the various
examples of it, all the objections re
siding iu no singlo machine, but some
of them being found in each, are alto
gether too numerous to mention, and
many of them aro fatal. They cost
too much, or they are too heavy, or
they are noisy, or they have an un
pleasant jar or a bad smell, or they
will not run satisfactorily at different
speeds and with different loads, or
they are only good for tho smoothest
roads, or they cannot climb hills, or
attention and special and trained skill
to operate, t
It is not a difficult, thiug to imagine
an "'autocar" without any of these ob
jectionable features, and it can scarce
ly be denied that we are steadily ap
proaching it. Something cheap,
handy, always ready and which any
one can use without anxiety or dis
comfort, would certainly make its way
into common use, and only after its
genera! and complete adoption would
it be safe to say that it was wanted.
That it will not in this way eventually
bo wanted wc have not the hardihood
to suggest.-American Machinist.
Education and Teeth.
Education is playing sad havoc with
the teeth of modern generations. So
m experienced dentist in tho Weat
End says, and he ought to know.
Formerly decayed teeth were generally
tttribnted to a secret fondness for bon
jons, but the idea is, it appears, quite
i mistake. In fact, sugar is rather
nourishing than otherwise. The truth
s, that the ancient sturdy square jaw
)f the English race is ohauging
ihrough lessons and book learning to
m angular or V-shape, which presses
he molars one upon tho other, does
lot give them room to grow, and will
n time prevent some of them cutting
it all. Indeed, this catastrophe is
lot infrequent already. In many
;ases the original teeth aro becoming
ess in number than they ought to be,
md often the "wisdomers" fail to ap
lear. This, in an "educated jaw," is
amentable. The new facial form is,
iccording to the dentist, much cu In
rated by ladies, who find that it is
jopular among gentlemen. The lat
er like women with the "educated"
ingle of chin, which generally carries
vith it pearly, but very frail teeth. If
he specialist be right, this process of
election, aided by further lessons
md more study, will, in the course of
imo, produce a race without any
ecth nt all. Then will tlje dentist
uake fortunes, for people will require
omplete artificial sets from babyhood
inward.-London Telegraph.

GOOD ROADS NOTES.
Views of ??ctv York's Lieutenant-Gover
nor.
In tho course of a recent speech at
Binghamton, N. Y., Lieutenant-Gov
ernor "Woodruff said: "Now that I
have, through my participation dur
ing one session of the Legislature, ac
quired experience concerning the
management of State affairs, it ia my
purpose next winter to devote a largo
share of my time and energy to the se.
curing of good roads. Legislation in
that direction failed during the legis
! lative session of 1897 because of tho
opposition of the farm owners of the
State, who naturally prefer to work
the roads running through thoir farjns
themselves, rather than pay the tax
required for some department of the
I State to do it. We all know that the
I making of good reads requires a care
ful study of tho subject and practical
experience such as most of tho farm
ers do not possess. I sincerely hope
that the rural communities of our
State may bo brought to a realization
of the real situation, and another win
ter acquiesce in a systematic plan for
road improvement, not forgetting that
over sixty per cent, of the cost of such
improvement will bo defrayed'by the
taxpayers of the cities. I believe that
almost every farmer will save in the
cost of getting his produce to market
a sum greater thin his individual tax
by the substitution of good roads for
the very poor ones now so prevalent
throughout the Empire State."

One day this week, as a teamster
was slowly working his way through
tho quagmire commonly known as a
country road between the Cummings
hill and Fdosil, he espied a hat in one
of the ruts in front of him. As the
headgear appeared to be in fairly good
condition he dismounted to pick it up.
As he raised the hat he was aston
ished to hear a voice coming from un
der it exclaim: "Hold on! That's my
hat!" Aa soon as he had gathered his
breath and wits the teamster asked,
"What are you doing down there?"
which brought forth the reply: "I'm

noticed that there aro several Southern
States in which tramps are rarely seen.
The reason why these States havo such ?
immunity from tramps, while Massa

in the different methods of treatment
of such criminals. In these Southern
States, where tramps are HO seldom
seen, it is the uniform practice to put
all suspicious characters at work upon
the construction of 2,uhlic roads
throughout the States.
When a State has more roads that
need improvement than money with
which to effect those improvements,
the employment of tramps ns road
makers has been found to work to the
satisfaction of the general public. A
criminal class is kept out of mischief,
while at tho same time the value of
the taxable property of the State is in
creased. Farmers are benefited by
being able to get their produce to mar
ket with far less trouble and delay
than were formerly expected as a mat
ter of course. The State secures good
roads at littlo expense.
Of course, the tramps do not carst'o
work day after day, toiling, away upon
State highways; bvi?-whenever they
are caught within, euch a State they
cannot heir;.themselves. The conse
ay^?Xl?^'^?Ji majority of tramps
give the State a wide berth.-Boston
(Mass.) Advertiser.
Cost of Und Roads.
According to statistics collected by
the orifice of road inquiry of tho De
partment of Agriculture, the amount
of loss each year by bad roads of the
country is almost beyond belief.
Some 10,000 letters of inquiry were
sent to intelligent and reliable farmers
throughout the country, and returns
were obtained from about 1200 coun
ties, giving the average length of
iiaul in miles from farms to markets
md shipping points, the average
?veight of load hauled and the average
length per ton for the whole length of
the haul.
Summarized, it appears that the
jeneral average length of haul is
twelve' miles, the weight of load for
two horses 2000 pounds, and the aver
ige cost per ton per milo twenty-five
:ents,. or $3 for the entire load.
Allowing conservative estimates for
;onnage of all kinds carried over pub
ic roads, the aggregato expense of
his transportation is figured at $91G,
114,000 per annum. Those in a posi
ion to judge, calculate that two-thirds,
nr nearly $631,000,000. could be saved
f the roads were in reasonably good
iondition. At $1000 r er mile a very
jood road can be constructed, and if
in amount equaling the savings of one
'ear were applied to improving high
vays, 157,000 miles of road in this
lountry could be pitt iu condition.
The offeet of this would be a per
nauent improvement, and an exchange
ays not only would the farmer be
stonished in tho sudden reduction in
L?3 road tax, but he would also wonder
t the remarkable falling off in the
ost of transpoi'tatiou. He would also .
ind that he required fewer horses and
sss feed for them. Ho could make
wo trips to market a day instead of
ne, when ability to get his goods
here at a time when high prices aro
tiling is a matter of great conse
uence.
Farmers aro beginning to apply a
?tt?C ?imple arithmetic to some of these
tatters, and it is not too much to cx
ect that in the near future we shall
ee a decided revolution in the condi
ion of our rural highways.-Farm,

The Expert Distributor's Feat.

THE MAD WORLD.
Tho mad world rushes along the ages
And forward! forward! ie still the err.
No time to rest, for the battle mses:
Then hurry and worry and struggle and
die.
No time to rest by tho fountains, flowing
Through shady groves, where tho po<??3
sing,
With fresh winds blowing and wild flowers
growing,
And Pan to pipe for our pleasuring.
Tho sun goes down in a blazo ot splendor,
And the moonlight trembles along tho
seas;
The nightingale's sonpr is sweet and tender,
But the world is too busy to eare for
these.
O foolish world, in your greed for tronero
You aro talcing the husks and leaving the
grain;
You aro missing thc sweets that make life
a pleasure,
And getting the trouble and labor and
pain.

"I don't believe the stories told
about the natives in Africa aud Aus
tralia riding ostriches," said a Califor
nia man the other day. "Americans
are the best riders on earth, but they
cannot ride ostriches. I saw this
pretty thoroughly tried on ono occa
sion. A cowboy who had vanquished
every pony ho ever undertook to break
in was induced to try an ostrich. Af
ter an hour's hard work ho succeeded
in mounting the bird, which at first
tried to shake him off, then to get
away by running, but these tactics, of
course, had no effect upon tho cow
boy. Then, in spite of all the mau
could do, tho ostrich succeeded in
getting its bead around and seizing
the man by one leg. He doubled his
[cet nuder him, and the ostrich
succeeded in getting a good hold of
his back, throwing him heavily to the
ground and trampling on him. It
took three of us to chase the infuriat
ed ostrich away, and we accomplished
it barely in time to save the man's life.

Fumons Cheese Doomed.
Franco, and through Franco the
whole civilized world, will probably
suffer in the course of a few years an
irreparable calamity. Roquefort, ono
of tho most famous of cheeses, is
threatened with speedy extinction. No
part of the blame for this disaster rests
with nature. Man's greed alono can
be held responsible. The milk of tho
sheep that browsed on tho thyme-clad
banks of tho Larnoo and Aveyron lias
long since ceased to suffice for the mar
ket. Flocks were accordingly fed in
thc grassy pastures, and yielded more
milk, but of an inferior quality. Worse
still, cow's milk was mingled with that
>f tho sheep, the cheese being artifi
cially ripened, and speedy deteriora
tion ensued. Buyers now IOOJC ask
ince at what ia called Roquefort, and
i business worth nearly one million
lol lars every year and employing (30.
)00 people .seems likely to perish. A

A Check for Perspiration.
To clieck profuse perspiration steep
one pound of oak bark in two quarts
of boiling water for half an hour;
strain and bottle for use. When, de
sired for use, take two-thirds of a cup
of it, with two teaspoonsful of pow
dered borax aud three of powdered
starch in a basin of hot water and
bathe the parts in it. Warts are fre
quently removed by applications of
bakiog soda moistened.
SPOTS of iron rust are taken from
liuen by squeezing lemon juice on
them, and then covering them with a
good coating of table salt and hanging
in the sun; after washing, if a trace of
the rust remains, add more lemon juice
and salt as of ton as required, while the
garment is hanging in full sunshine.
Very deep rust spots will soon disap
pear by this process.

Fake Duels.
Duellists have no idea hoir often
they fire blank cartridges. One of
the recent fake duels occurred near
Paris between a nephew of oar Chilian
minister, Don Domingo Gana, and a
druggist. It was a very serious affair
with Gana, but all others concerned
with it were in the joke. There wera
the nsual chemical blood spot over the
heart of the enemy when the Chilean
fired the fake ball and death rattle.
Gana was kept in hiding for months
under the belief that his antagonist
was dying, whereas the young fellow,
without so much as a scratch Was
amusing all Paris. When G?n?
learned of tho joke he set out with a
stern purpose to kill, and he would
surely havo had his revenge if the
chap had not left France.-New York

NEGLECT IS SUICIDE.
Plain Words From Mrs. Pinkham, Corroborated by Mrs. Charles
Dunmore, That Ought to Bring Suffering'
"Women to Their Senses.
If you were drowning and friendly hands shoved a plank to you, and you
refused it, you would be committing suicide!
Yet that is precisely what women aro doing ii they go about their homes
almost dead with misery, yet refuse to grasp the kindly hand held out to them!
lt is suicidal to go day after day with that dull, con
stant pain in tho region of tho womb and that
bloating heat and tenderness of the abdomen,
which make the weight of your clothes an
almost intolerable burden to you. It is not
naturr.l to suffer so in merely emptying the
bladder. Does not that special form of suf
, iering tell you that there is inflammation
somewhere?
'Shall I tell you what it is?
It is inGammaticn or thc womb!
If it goes cn, polypus, or tumor, or cancer will set in.
