One afternoon la early spring, I was

tending along tbe borders of a river.

country, chiefly grassy meadow, with

the ground that he fanned tbe tall grass

gentle ocean swell. For half a mile,
perhaps, he continued on his course;
then, coming about with infinite grace,
ho bore down upon me again. Back and

The building of a large public build-
ing such as that of the new post of-
fice now being constructed at Chicago
la apt to be punctured by full stops,
exclalmers and question marks. In
other words, there are generally long
delays in the completion of the work,
much criticism and many and awk-
ward questions asked. The summary
removal of the chief architect, Henry
Ives Cobb, by Sectary Shaw, has re-
minded the city of Chicago and the
country at large that a great and cost?
ly government building is being con-
structed there. It Is so long ago since
the Chicago post office spread its camp
on the lake front that the employes
and the people of the city have about
accepted the squatty building as a per-
manent location.
Chicago has had to wait for hei
new federal building, and will be
forced to continue the waiting attitude
for many a long month. Those in a
position to know, declare that the

Then lightly he dropped Into thp grass,

meadow mouse, whose E ft. fat little
body offered scarcely any resistance to
these talons of rapier steel. The bird
•did not fly off with its prey In its claws,
as a sharp-shinned hawk would have
done, nor did he stop to devour the mouse
on the spot, as I have often seen a marsh
hawk do; it picked up the little rodent
with its feet, and by a series of long
1< a-ps through the grass, it reached a
rather more secluded spot, where it be-
gin to tear its victim to pieces.
About a week later, I was walking
over the same opeu country, and again
I saw my old acquaintance the marsh
hawk. This time, however, he was not
alone, for in his company there was
a somewhat larger bird, dark umber
brown on the back, and with reddish
streaks on the head. This was his
mate, and, despite the difference in col-
oration, she had the characteristic
white patch on her rump. It was the
courting season, and, as I was anxious
to see the manner in which the marsh
hawk courted his bride. I hid myself
in a ditch which drained the meadows,
and waited. For an hour, perhaps,
nothing unusal happened, and 1 had

An Ox, grazing in a meadow, chanced to set his foot on a young
Frog and crushed him to death. His brothers and sisters, who were
playing near, at once ran to tell their mother what had happened.
"The monster that did it, mother, was such a size," said they. The
mother, who was a vain old thing, thought that she could easily make
herself as large. "Was it as big as this?" she asked, puffing and
blowing herself out. "Oh, much bigger than that," replied the young
trogs. "As this, then," cried she, puffing and blowing again with all
her might. "Nay, mother," said they; "if you were to try till you burst
yourself you would never be so big." The silly old Prog tried to puff
herself out still more and burst herself indeed.

TURNPIPE SAILORS.

tinrb.
The term "ocean tramp" is known lo
many landsmen; Its verbal antithesis,
"turnpike sailor," is probably less fa-
miliarr outside thieves' circles, where,
Mayhew tells us, in his "London Labour
and the London Poor," it is used to de-
note a beggar masquerading in a mari-
ner's garb, says the London Spectator.
Among the Wessex peasants, whose vo-
cabulary, if limited, is singularly ef-
fective, it bears a racier meaning. Thus
they designate a particular class of
"traveling folk" who roam the coun-
try from place place as a sailor roams
the sea. The name might well be ap-
plied to the whole nomad tribe— tink-
ers, sawkers, gypsies, itinerant show-
men and the like—but for some reason
or other it is confined to the tramp
proper, the seedy, out-at-the-elbows In-
dividual who is to be seen Blouching
along the high road or begging from
door to door in the villages. Sometimes
he is alone; more often a friend of his
own degree keeps him company; occa-
sionally a depressed-looking wife and
ragged children straggle at his heels.
He toils not neither does he spin; he
"pays no rent," as an aggrieved house-
holder remarked to the present writer,
and he seldom puts Into port for longer
than a night at a time unless compelled
by circumstances beyond his control,
when he is lodged In a spacious man-
sion, is £oarded gratis, and is provided
with the "Job" which he professes to be
always anxiously seeking and seldom
manages to find. As a rule he sleeps
"rough"—In the open, that is—or in any
convenient shed, except when the state
of his finances permits him the luxury
of the tramps' lodging house, which, on
the evidence of a country policeman, is
"the noisiest, drunkenest"—he had al-
most said "the Jolliest"—place in town.
BARBERS MUST TALK.
De*lre of Cnalomeri to Be Motlced
Forces Them to Kntar Into
Conversation.
"Don't let anybody tell you," said a
barber in one of the largest hotel bar-
ber shops in Chicago the oth'er day,
according to the Tribune, "that barbers
talk too much.
"Don't let anybody tell you that cus-
tomers regard tonsorial conversation as
a nuisance.
"They don't. Not In several centuries.
"The barbers have been maligned
long enough. The comic weeklies and
other sad forces have maintained that
a barber and a talking machine are
about evenly matched, that the barber's
talk is worthless and annoying, and
that the customers would put a stop to
it If they could.
"Now, maybe you would be a trifle
surprised if I were to tell you that most
of the complaints customers make are
not that the barber talks too mucfe, but
that he doesn't talk enough. A gabby
barber whose language, as Josh Billings
used to say, 'runs mighty free,' can get
a good Job much quicker than an equal-
ly good barber who is a poorer conver-
sationalist.

In an article in the Indian Medical
Gazette, Capt. E. R. Rost, I. M. S., at-
tributes the rise in cancer mortality to
an increased consumption of sugar,
in the form of sweetmeats and other
dclicacies of modern confectionery,
and a corresponding diminution In
the use of salt-perserved articles of
diet. His theory, states the British
Medical Journal, iB thatmalignant dis-
ease is parastlc in origin, and is due
to the invasion of the- body by a
saccharomycete, the growth of which
is favored by glucose, but inhibited
by substances cdhtaining chlorine,
and only admissible when the amount
of chlorine In the body falls below
normal. Some of his experiments,
which he records in support of this
view, are rather remarkable. He

bore a hole through the bottom to take
an inch iron bar Just long enough to
keep the cask in position. Let the roll-
ers rest on a flagstone or cement floor,
so that the barrel may be partly turned
around every day to face the sun. Two
handles should be affixed to the top.
Bore two-inch holes in a zigzag
around the cask, and at each of these
apertures insert the crown, or heal, of
the plants in some fine mold. A wire
netting one foot in diameter is placed
in the center of the cask which should
be filled with rich manure. When the
barrel is full place nine or ten plants
around the top, keep well watered and
you will have a fine crop of berries and
a decided novelty in gardening at the
same time.
THE PEACH ORCHARD.

gether Poor.
In spite of the disasters experienced
by peach growers during the last
has cultivated saccharopiyceiea from flve years- peach orchards are being
a variety of tumors on sterile cane P'snted in considerable numbers and
sugar, and has also prepared what he"*011 'ar*e areas Thls is "ise thing
describes as "a kind of tumor Jam,"
by preserving portions of tumors in
the same medium. Sections of this
"jam" show "th6 tumor cell as usual,
but the saccharomycetas abounding in
and between them." He passed
chlorine gas through his cultures of
of saccharomycetes, and found that it
"rapidly killed the organisms, and it
is evidently the chlorine that is the
active agent."
According to Capt. Rost the fuiding
principle in the treatment of cancer
should be to diminish the amount of
glucose in the body and increase the
amount of chlorine, thereby rendering
the patient's body an unfavorab-e cul-
ture medium for the specific micro-
organisms. He has put this theory
Into practice upon ten patientt, his
treatment consisting, "first of a strict
diabetic diet, and secondly, of piling
In sodium chloride Into the bod/.vand
preventing its excretion as much as
possible." The results are said to
have been most successful, but un-
fortunately, the patients themselves
do not appear to have been unanimous
as to the advantages of the treatment
they were receiving, since four out of
their number ran away. Experiments
were also tried upon animals, cancer-
ous material and "saccharomycetes"
pbt^ined by culture from cancers be-
ing used in inoculation; various
lesions were produced, and in some
Instances the influence of a sail diet
upon the affected anlmalswas studied.
In imitation of the human patients,
"one guinea pig and one cat ab-
sconded," apparently before the bene-
fits of sodium chloride had been ac-
corded to them.
The announcement that sweet-
meats predispose to-cancer, if It finds
Its way into the cheaper sensational
Journalism, may prove alarming to
sundry Juvenile and feminine read-
ers; but if it checks their appetite for
confectionery it will at least improve
their digestion; and although the use
of sodium chloride as an antidote
would engender a thirst which might
to do, as a big crop now and then
helps to average up the lean years
and the years when freezes destroy
large areas of peach orchards. Grad-
ually localities are being found in
most of our states where the disasters
come rarely and where crops of peach-
es are common.
Soil for peach ordchards may be
of almost any character, except
swampy. Wherever situated it should
contain enough sand to permit of a
sort of natural drainage about the
roots. Where there is a hard, com-
pact clay beneath, peach trees should
not be planted, as the roots of the
trees find It difficult or impossible to
penetrate it and are compelled to feed
only in the surface #oil. When the
water in the surface soil is gone, the
roots are exposed to the drought.
When they go into winter in this con-
dition they are most easily affected by
the cold. It Is now believed that
moisture In the soil has a. very im-
portant influence in bringing trees
through severe winters unharmed. In
addition, where there is a hard pan
that will hold water, some of the
trees will most likely be set In basins
that will keep their roots immersed
for weeks during the wet weather.
This often results In the destruction (
of the tree, as the roots of peach trees j
"must have air as wel as water to en-
able 'them to grow. The texture of
the subsoil has much to do with the
success of the peach orchard. It must
not be so impervious to water as to
hold It for long periods and it must
not be so porous as to permit it to
leach away too readily. The soil
should be loose enough to permit the
passage of water, out mU3t be close
enough to keep the law of capillary
attraction in operation. A good peach
soil is neither too rich nor too poor.
A too rich soil gives wood growth at
the expense of fruit.—Farmers' Re-
view.
A NAT10KAL PROBLEM.
Selnllon of the Ituad QaeailM SlioaM
Uniagr the Attention «f
Our Heat Men.
It is claimed by some that the build-
ing of roads U strictly a local matter,
that the benefits are entirely local,
and that the whole expense should b#
borne by the local committees. This 1*
not the view takeu by the most pro-
gressive countries of Europe. There
the building and maintenance of roads
Is one of the important functlon%of
government. France, Germany and
Switzerland are covered by a network
ot the finest roads in the world. As a
result, the western half of Europe is
the pleasure ground of the world. The
revoiiuo derived from tourists Is one
of the principal sources of income for
people of nearly all clauses. But with-
out these good roads this revenue
could never be secured.
The aim of tho people In those coun-
tries is to make their grand moun-
tains, their beautiful lakes, their lova-
ly valleys, their castles and monu-
ments easily accessible by means ot
fine, hard, smooth roads.
What a contrast appears when wa
turn to our own country. We have
the finest scenery In the world In the
great mountains of the west, but it Is
practically Inaccessible. Except as
they get glimpses of it from car win-
dows, the grandeur of our mountains
and canyons, and the beauty of our
mountain lakes, streams and valleys
are a sealed book to the general trav-
eling public. And this will always be
the case so long as steep, stony moun-
tain trails aVe the only means of
travel beyond the railway lines. In-
deed, much of our finest scenery can-
not be reached, even by such trails.
If the United States government, in
cooperation with the states and local
communities, would build great, smooth
highways, making the wonders and
beauties of our great west easily ac-
cessible to tourists, in a few years the
tide of travel would be turned west-
,ward. Not only would millions of dol-
lars spent annually by -Americans in
Europe be kept at home, but other
millions would be brought lo our
shores by tourists from foreign lands.
But the natural attractions of our
country are not the only things which
are -made inaccessible by the lack of
good roads. Our places of historic
interest are mostly in the same cate-
gory. Take, for instance. Monticello,
home and tomb of the Immortal Jef-
ferson. Few AmexJcans even know
where it is, much less visit it. Mon-
ticello is only three miles from the
city of Charlottesville, Va., which is
on two great trunk lines. Why, then,
is it so little known? Because three
miles of about as bad road as can be
imagined lie belween it and the rail-
way station. One cannot travel over
that narrow, steep, rough, muddy
country road without a feeling ol
shame. At present an effort is being
made by a small band of patriotic
men and women to build what ia
known as the Jefferson Memorial*r6ad,
to make Monticello accessible iu ths
public, but only a beginning has been
made, and they are finding itlup-hill
work to raise funds to complete, the
task.
But, after all, the encouragement o(
travel Is not the most important rea-
son for the building of good roads.
Tboy are absolutely necessary for the
prosperity and happiness of the peo-
ple. The era of railroad building on a
large scale is practically at an end.
In the course of commercial and In-
dustrial development we have reached
a point where the grea? problem of
improving the common roads must be
faced. We can no longer treat It as a
local question. We have tHed that for
three-quarters of a century, and in
nearly every section of the country
the miserable results. ar§ apparent.
The good roads problem will never be
solved locally. It is too vast It can
be solved only by the genius, tho
wealth, the labor and the patriotism
of the Hfhole people. A great national "
movement is necessary." In coopera-
tion of the nation, the "states, the coun-
ties and the local communities lies the
solution of the problem. .
