"Dear." said the poet's wife, noticing
his abstracted look, "you are worried
about something?"
"Yes?" he ejaculated. "Yes."
"Tell me, what have you on your

"Nothing; that's what worries me."

Will Help Good Roads.
"X" N event which augurs much
/ \ for the good roads movement
in this country was the an(?~^
nual meeting of the League
of American Wheelmen at Philadelphia
last week. The progressive element
in the membership was victorious
in the election of officers and an entirely
new administrative policy will
now be in order.
In the election of Senator Horatio S.
Earle, of Michigan, to the Presidency,
the cause of good roads was immeas
ureaoiy oenenrea. ne js uuquesuuuably
the foremost worker for highway
improvement in the United States today
and with ample ability and the
necessary resources at his command,
will plaee the good roads movement
upon-a more progressive basis than it
has been heretofore.
Mr. Earle is comparatively a new
man in L. A. W. official circles, but in
his two years' service as chief consul
of the Michigan Division he has been
so aggressive and so practical that the
results of his work have been felt in
all the divisions and eventually landed
him in the President's chair.
First Vice-President George C. Pennell,
of New York, is one of the veterans
of the League. During his conuec- j
tion with the organization he has held '
many State and National offices, in- j
eluding his present position of viceconsul
in the New York Division. He
is numbered among the energetic members
who have been chafing under the ;
ultra-conservatism which has hereto- '
fore prevailed, and will make a consistent
co-worker with President
Earle, to whom he will be especially
valuable because of his long service.
Second Vice-President Howell, of :
Connecticut, was one of the ablest
chief consuls in the service of the
League. He was at the head of the
Connecticut Division during the years
when the L. A. W. was securing wheelmen's
rights and privileges?when it
was making its power be felt in all
sections. For two years he has been
Chairman of the National Membership
Committee and to his efforts is largely
due the respect In which L. A. W.
membership Is now held.
Treasurer Tattersall, one of the most
competent officials the League has ever
had, and an able financier, enters upon
his fourth term with a unanimous reelection.
Secretary Bassett, who has spent
twenty-one years in the service of the
League, will again be in charge of
headquarters at Boston. He is, perhaps,
the best known wheelman in the
country, and his retention is an assurance
that the office of Secretary will be
competently administered.
Since the election last week, the new
officers have been busily engaged in
acquainting themselves with the du+v*/-,*?.

tlon of plans for the year's work. They
are making no rash promises, saying
nothing they cannot substantiate when
necessary, but they are positively confident
that this year will witness many
solid and substantial gains in League
work and in membership. Some of the
plans already outlined are upon lines
which will command the willing support
of all friends of good roads, and
are considered with a view to making
them the first moves in a campaign
which will place the question of highway
improvement squarely before the
people of every State as the greatest
economic necessity of the period.
The Good Roads Convention.
State Engineer Bond is receiving encouraging
reports in regard to the prospective
attendance at the Good Roads
Convention to be held in Albany on
August 14 and 15 under his supervision.
Nearly forty boards of supervisors,
representing as many counties,
have appointed delegates to the convention,
and in some cases the entire
Board of Supervisors has resolved to
attend the convention. Quite a body of
individual delegates is eoming.
The State Engineer wil" have a carefully
prepared statement to submit to
the convention in regard to the work
done by his department in the Improvement
of the roads of the State,
accompanied by lantern slides to show
the roads in their first condition and
after their improvement, and the processes
of road Improvement. ^
A Novel Train.
The "L. A. W. Good Roads Train"
will go into every State sending in 100
applications for membership in the
League, and will visit the towns sending
in the largest number. Two demonstrations
will be made in each State.
Tbf? 'Vnnrt roads train." the nlan of
President Earle, of the League of
American Wheelmen, for educating
the people in actual good roads construction,
will be one of the most novel
sights ever seen. It will be a complete
moving exhibition of road building
requisites. It will be duly placarded,
and will go into every State in the
Union. The manufacturers of road
building machinery, whose appliances
will be used in building satpple roads,
will have representatives aboard, and
these will give the required demonstrations.

The Business of the People.
The Good Roads Congress does not
ask the Government to build good
roads for the country, but it does ask
that the Department of Agriculture be
given an appropriation of $150,000
with which to build sample roads, and
spread information about them among
the people. It recognizes the fact that
road building is the business of the
people themselves, and thinks that
they will not put up with poor roads
longer than it takes them to learn the
advantages of good ones.?St. Joseph
(Mo.) Herald.
"?JSeed of Good Roads.
There is a general need of good,
roads throughout the rural regions, not
roads built at exorbitant cost, but at a
reasonable figure, and which bring the
market at all seasons of the year into
easy access. The farmers nowadays
realize this as well as anybody.?Syracuse

DOC-SLEDDING IN SIBERIA.
Vivid Description of a Itlcle in the Search
For Andree.
In the Century, in the second of l?s i
papers on the search for Andree, Jonas
Stadling gives a vivid impression of
the pains and perils of dog-sledding in
Siberia.
"To the music of yelling natives and
howling dogs our picturesque caravan
started at a frightful speed, some of
the dogs every now and then slipping
on the smooth spots of the ice and
sprawling on their sides or backs while
being dragged along by the others.
Ahead were seen masses of heaped-up
ice. I was asking myself, 'How shall
we get over these?' when In a moment
we were In the midst of them,
the drivers yelling out their commands:
'To the left!' 'To the right!'
'Straight on!' while the dog-leaders
at the head of the packs, pricking up
their ears to catch the commands of
their masters, turned now to the left,
now to the right, between the hummocks,
while the sledges jumped and
danced over the huge blocks. Gasping
for breath, my feet balancing in
the air to prevent my legs from "getting
broken, I could hardly tell how
this 'mountain-pass' was cleared. Soon
the whole caravan was on smooth ice
again, and then a new chain of icemountains
rose in front of us, toward
which the dogs rushed, until a sharp
voice in front yelled, 'Stop! Stop!' A
sledge had been smashed and the load
scattered about. I became nervous,
but the natives, as tranquil as if nothing
had happened, repaired the sledge,
making a hole here and there by
means of a primitive drill, and tying
together the broken parts with thongs
of leather, while other natives with
axes and iron-pointed poles cut out a
way between the ice-hummock.-!, and
after a little more than half an hour
the caravan was again on Its way.
"Toward noon we were swept by a
heavy snowstorm, but the ice became
smoother, and the dog6 ran onward
with great speed. Only once we took
a short rest, sitting down in a circle on
the ice and regailing ourselves with
frozen fish, which the dogs shared. In
places where the wind had swept away
the snow, the crystallized salt, precipitated
from the ice by the cold, made
the sleighing very heavy. As we
neared the mainland in the afternoon
the snowstorm ceased. To the southeast
and south extended a mountainchain,
stooping abruptly to the sea, diminishing
in height to the west."
A Funeral Trolley Car.
Baltimore has a number of fine suburban
cemeteries, all of which are
reached by some division of the street
railway lines, and the company found
by putting in a few crossovers they
could take a car from any part of the
city to any one of the burying grounds.
It was therefore decided to offer cars
for the transportation of funeral parties,
says the Street Railway Review.
The company built a special car well
adapted for the purpose. The car is
divided into two compartments, the
smaller of which has running its full
length another compartment or vault
in which the casket is carried. A
heavy plate glass door hinged to swing
downward gives access to the vault
from the outside. When a casket is to
be placed in the car, the shelf is drawn
out, the casket lifted upon it. and the
shelf is then pushed back in place. The
larger compartment has twelve cross
seats in the centre aisle, giving a seating
capacity of twenty-four; the smaller
compartment has four seats. Heavy
black curtains divide this section into
two private compartments for the immediate
family of the deceased. Floral
contributions are piled upon the top
of the vault, and can be seen from the
street. The car is finished inside and
out with black enamel with nickelplated
fixtures. The car has been
named "Dolores," meaning sorrow, and
it is rented at from $20 to $25 for each
interment.
Electric Fans.
A feature of interest connected with
electric fans is that they are purely
American, both by right of invention
and of us*. It is a somewhat singular
fact tnat tneir use iu uiuei. i-uuumco
and in hot climates has been so limited,
but it is believed *hat at least the
beginning of a considerable export
trade in this class of merchandise has
been made, and that from now on increasing
and satisfactory numbers of
these instruments will be shipped
abroad from our American ports. A
modern development of the fan, which
was primarily designed for ventilation
and for moving air or the creation
of small breezes, is the application to
the fan mechanism of cooling and
heating devices, so that an actual
change in the temperature of the air
may 1 e made. In this way certain
electric fan installations have been
made lately which serve the triple purpose
of cooling in summer, heating in
winter and ventilating the rooms.?

Brahmin View of the East and West.
The subject of social intercourse between
Europeans and Indians has frequently
been a grand theme with
some writers and speakers. There are
men who are too ready to throtv the
whole blame for the existing state of
things on the Europeans, who are
charged with refusing to accept Indians
on terms of perfect equality,
while, as a matter of fact, it seems to
us that, except in purely official relations
as between superior and subordinate,
it is the Indian that considers
himself to be of a purer caste and incapable
of adjusting his scruples and
his habits to the requirements of European
society. The pride of caste is
still very strong in the Indian, and
however submissive and respectful he
may be in the presence of the European
official, in his heart of hearts he
believes himself to be of a superior order.?Madras

"Waste Land in America.
The arid region of this country is
1 larger than the entire area of some of
; the nations of the earth. It includes
j portions of Montana, Wyoming, Color!

j is made productive.

| to go to waste would be contrary to

converted to fertility by the artificial
i supply of water. Gradually and
? ? n
strongly tne experts or rue uoverument
have urged upon Congress a
policy of assistance which will con1
vert many of these acres into fertile
; fields. In this way the suggestion has
come that to the river and harbor bill
: there shall be added a provision for
: storage reservoirs in the far West. If
j it should be done, land that is now of
no practical value would soon be
; worth $10 or .$20 an acre, and thus It
j happens that far Western influences
are openly in favor of the proposition.

Hedgehogs and Holes.

ridges. The truth is, the hedgehog has
never received full justice. He Is,

beast. Everybody knows that the
. hedgehog eats snails and slugs, but
few people, perhaps, have realized that
I he is also a liberal consumer of moles,
j Now, there are many estates in Devonj
shire where the mole employs a band
| of men to keep his family down, and
j there are places in Surrey, quite near
j London, where neither man nor trap
can stop the ravages of these creatures
' on what is intended to be the lawn.
Where the soil is sandy the mole lives
deep, and he will fling up a chain of
i veritable mountains in his Journeys

single night. This conduct may be

skin with the wool on, and worn with
I the wooly side in. The skin is tanned
j to a tan color. The waistcoat is cut

The dew is condensed out of the air

j is covered with clouds, the radiation
sent back from the clouds nearly supplies
an equivalent for the heat thus
parted with, but if the sky be clear,
no equivalent is supplied, and the surI
face of the earth and things growing
' on it become cooler than the atmos-.

small portion of air contiguous to any

Carious Fish From s Driven Well.
Some time ago a driven well was
sunk at the Howell Creamery, Pine
J Island, to the depth of 250 feet. The
i supply of water obtained equalled only
one quarter of the amount necessary,
| and in order to obtain a greater snp
ply two charges of joveite, a new ex:
plosive, were discharged by William J.
Brown, an expert in its use. Both
charges were set off simultaneously by
j an electric battery, and a column of
water eight inches in diameter was
thrown to a height of 300 feet. Many
I curious things came up from the botI
torn of the well, including three curi}
ous fish. They were about eight inches
j long and had neither head nor tall,
both ends being alike. They could
swim as easily backward as forward
and were not provided with eyes or
mouth. There were several small orifices
at each end of these curious fish.
[ When they came down with a shower
of stones from the top of the column
; of water they bounded repeatedly
many feet in the air. One was cap
tured by a Polander, who, curious to
: see its interior, struck it with a dull

ever upon the fish, although he killed
j it. One is still alive in capitivity.?

in the House of Representatives is Mr.
Burton, of Ohio, chairman of the eom1
mittee on rivers and harbors. The
; other day Mr. Burton. having charge
of the appropriation biii, forgot that
for the time being he was boss of the
House and that It was his duty to say
when the weary lawmakers should
quit work. When that time came Bur|
ton forgot all about it. The speaker
looked hard at him, but Burton did not
i come out of his trance. Finally General
Henderson's patience gave out.
I "The gentleman from Ohio," he shout|
ed, just as if Mr. Burton had been
j asking for recognition. The Ohioan
j jumped up, looked bewildered and finally
blurted out: "Eh, eh, Mr. Speak!
er," he stuttered. "I move the House
i do now adjourn." "Well, he's awake
Gnally," muttered Speaker Henderson, i
| sotto voce, "but some people do need j
a lot of sleep."?Chicago Chronicle, j

The Laureate Holds On.
j I have read carefully most of the J
! tributes in the press to the late Queen, j
j I have also read the ode by Mr. Alfred I
' Austin. On the whole, I think the i
pressmen have done more justice to j
; the occasion than the poet. There Is !
j a good deal of poetry in the prose, and
| still more prose in the poetry; and of i
the two the former seems the less out j
i of place. By the way, is the office of j
J Poet Laureate one of those of which
the tenancy has been confirmed by :
; royal proclamation? Many had hoped, ;
j with me, that the demise of the crown i
j might involve the demise of the laur- j
I el wreath. But the appearance of the j
official elegiac seems to nip this hope j
in the bud, and deepens the national {
gloom.?Labouchere. in London Truth. ;

Celery acts admirably on the nervous
