Young men nowadays are inclined to
the opinion that the opiiortunllles fbr
making fortunes are not as great as
they were a half or even a quarter of
a century ago. As a matter of fact,
there is plenty of evidence that the
avenues to fortunes are as unobstruct
ed now ns they ever were. Indeed, the
demand for men who are capable and
reliable Is now greater than ever be

mand there are opportunities for mak

Farmers in Bahia, Brazil, seem to
be a long way behind the times. The
state Is the second In population In
the republic, and Its people are de
voted to agriculture. Yet, according
to the United States consul stationed
in Its capital, cultivators, planters and
harrows are unknown, and there are
few plows. The farms are worked
with a hoe, n spade and a machete,
with now and then a pick. Until the
people down there wake up they will
not send much to Europe In competi
tion with the products of the farms
on this side of the equator. They ore
not yet able to raise even enough hay
for the support of their own cattle.
The completion of the new Panama
canal will have some marked effects
upon the great lanes of ocean travel.
Vessels have, to be sure, for years gone
into Panama and Colon for the
transhipment of their freight across
the isthmus by rail. The effect of tht?
opening of the new canal may be lik
ened to that of the substitution of a
strong bridge at a convenient place
for crossing a river for a more or less
uncertain ford. Such a bridge attract*
wagon reads. The canal will draw
toward it the commercial highways of
the hemisphere. Vessels which are
operated by steam -enn pursue an al
most unvarying line. Their managers
accordingly prescribe courses between
various ports, known as lanes, over
which practically nil the shipping
moves. In case of a breakdown the
vessel is much sooner "picked up” on
a lane than in less frequented parts
of the sea. Moreover, rocks, derelicts
and other obstructions may be nmto
carefully charted nnd watt bed on the
highly traveled courses. There is usu
ally nn east nud woht lane a few miles
apart to lessen the danger of collision.
Out of Duluth, on the Great Lakes,
there Is a four-track lane, two for pas
senger stenmers and two for freight
ers. Although the oceans of the
world have no visible streets or cross
ings or sign-posts, in the eye of the
navigator they are thus very distinctly
marked. No railroad train makes so
direct a Hue between points as the
steamship. No locomotive engineer
knows more exactly where he is at
all times titan the sea captain. Sail
ing vessels, responsive to winds, tides
and currents, go altout more nt ran
dom. Yet there are enormous areas of
the sea where no sail or smoke-stack
is ever seen. Even on the steamship
lanes of the Pacific one seldom spies
a vessel In a trip across that ocean.
Nearing the Suez, however, from either
approach, and it will be the same with
the Isthmian canal, it seems as if the
ships of the world were out on parade,
so plentiful do they suddenly become.
Drink a glass of water when you get
out of bed in the morning. Never mind
the size of the glass. Let the water be
cold If you will. Some jieople pre
scribe hot water, but that isn’t neces
sary. You may have washed your
face already and relished, the experi
ence. You may have taken a cold
pluuge into Uie tub and delighted in
the shock and its reaction. The brisk
use of the tootli brush has left your
mouth clean and the breath sweet.
But you are dirty still. Drink a glass
of cold water and eujoy the sensation
of being clean Inside. All that Is
luxurious in the cold bath cleansing
the outside is artificial. That which
should prompt the glass of water after
sleeping Is natural. As a test, tell the
O-year-old protestant against his morn
ing scrub of cold water that he may
escape it by drinking half a pint of the
fluid. He will Jump at the-opportun

in the blood, and the instinct of the
animal, under natural conditions, is to
replenish the circulatory system and
distend the blood vessels anew. The

much to do toward Inducing sleep has
disappeared, leaving a mucous sub
stance in the alimentary canals. Yet
man would wash bls face and leave
these half-clogged canals to the duties
of another day. Drink a glass of cold
water in the name of cleanliness. It
becomes one of the shortest and easi
est of toilet duties. It Is swallowed
in a second and in five minutes bus
passed from the stomach, taking with
it the clogging secretions of the ali

the stimulus that goes with cold water,
and, by filling the arterial system to
the normal, it puts a spur to the cir

PRONE TO SEE GHOSTS.
Negro Is Superstitious to a Degree-
Anecdote to Prove This.
"Negroes are naturally afraid of
ghosts and I suppose It will be a good
long time before they outgrow certain
primitive inheritances which made
them flrm believers in the existence of
such things,” said a writer in the New
Orleans Times-Democrat “The Negre
will naturally shy around the deud
house and the graveyard. And If there
is any chance in the world to see a
ghost or to conjure up a ghost story
you may depend on the negro to do It.
But there is somewjpit of the real in
the story I have in 9***. There was
a certain old 'black mammy’ in my
neighborhood und she was thoroughly
devoted Jo a certain family. Sho had
known the husband and father of the
house all his life—was a servant In
fact, in the home of his father before
and after the war. He wns good to
her and she could find in him all the
virtues of the old man. He took sick.
She was with him all during his sick
ness. He died.
"She still remained in the room and
would not leave even during the time
the body wak being prepared for the
grave. A sheet bad been pulled over
the body, and the old woman at the’
moment was the only person In the
room. Site was keeping a silent watch.
Suddenly the sheet moved, as If the
dead num had pulled up one of his
arms in order to shift Ids position. She
never remained in the room to see
what wns going to happen. She rush
ed out of the house and went to the
place next door, where alie declared
tier .young master was not dead, and
that he had come to Ufo. Of course
II was all quite nnturnL The move
ment she had observed was merely
the contraction of a muscle a thing
which frequently happens. But you
could not convlnoe her of th# truth of
thq^matter. Slm* still looks upon the
whole thing as a manifestation of life
returned. Curiously enough, she could
not be persuaded to enter the house
again after that time, nor would she
attend the funeral of the man to whom
she had been devoted during all of his
Ilfs. Kuporstltutlon, is a curious thing,
Isn’t it?"
The Great Igternotionnl Convention.
Of the many International conven
tions arranged to be held in St Louis
during the exposition, the good roads
convention was the first bi time and
certainly one of the first In Importance.
While the gathering was made up
chiefly of delegates from All parts of
the United States —more than thirty
States being represented—delegates
from several foreign countries were
present and addressed the convention.
Among these may be named A. W.
t ampbell of Ontario, who represented
Great Britain and Canada; A. H.
Bernhart, representing Sweden; A.
Berrnudez of Nicaragua; J. C. Alvez
da Lima of Brazil, and Manuel D. Diaz
of Cuba. Porto Rico. Hawaii and the
Philippines were also represented.
The convention was not only a big
one. but a long one, lasting six days,
including "Good Roads Day” at the
exposition, and every day's session
was crowded with reports, addresses
and discussion. Every vital point of
the road subject came in for-a-share
of attention. Various speakers car
ried the convention over dirt roads,
gravel roads and macadam roads, and
told how to build and maintain the
best of each class. They told of the
universal failure of the old out-of-date
system of "working the.roads.” Dele
gatee from many States had to report
the enormous difficulty of raising
enough money by local taxation to
make any general improvement of the
roads. Delegates from the Eastern
States reported the great progress
made under the State aid plan. Add
finally nearly everybody talked mi
tlonal aid. Senator Latimer of South
Carolina was there as the special
champion of this Idea, and his speech
received the enthusiastic approval of
the convention. Congressman Van
diver of Missouri also spoke Strongly
in favor of federal aid. Congressman
Lloyd made a very fine presentation
of the work the Government Road In
quiry Office is now doing and a strong
plea for a generous support of that
office. Governor Bacheldcr of New
Hampshire declared himself strongly
in favor of Congress making an ap
propriation for use in aiding the States
to Improve the roads. Governor Dock
ery of Missouri talked for good roads
as the on" great, thing needed to per
fect the transportation system of this
country. And General Miles proposed
federal aid in a somewhat novel and
startling form. He wanted to have
several thousand soldiers from the reg
ular army put to work on the roads.
Secretary Wilson of the U. S. De
partmeht of Agriculture was there too
and made a speech taking strong
ground in favor of the educational
road work which the department is
doing.
The sentiment of the convention ns
crystallized in its resolutions may be
summed up as follows:
1. The Improvement and mainte
nance of our public highways is of
paramount Importance to the economic
welfare and development of our coun
try.
2. This convention heartily indorses
the proposition of federal aid for the
construction of public roads in the
United States to the extent of one
half of the cost of same, and each
delegate pledges himself to use all
honorable means to secure the support
of this principle by his representative
in Congress.
3. The State aid plan Is also unan
imously Indorsed.
4. The work of the Office of Public
Road Inquiries nf the United .States
Department of Agriculture for better
highways Is heartily approved and
commended, ‘and Congress should in
crease the anuual appropriation tor its
work to at least $150,000.
5. All convicts and vagrants should
be employed on the public roads, and
not in competition with honest labor.
HAS A NOVEL FIRE ALARM.
Chief of Baltimore Department Keeps
Supply of Giant Firecrackers.
A good way t* prevent yourself
from being burned to death in your
own house is to have on band a large
supply of dynamltq llrecrackers. That
Is the theory of Chief Horton of the
Baltimore Are department, who direct
ed the efforts of the Baltimore Bre
men during the February conflagra
tion until be was struck by a couple
of live wires and rendered uncon
scious. Commenting upon this the
ory, Chief Horton says:
“About the best fire detectives are
large dynamite crackers. I have these
crackers distributed all over my house
and have advised any number of per
eons to use them.
•Tho Idea is decidedly practicable.
One of the crackers Is attached to a
length of wire, and It Is then sus
pended from some place where It Is
likely to be useful.
“I have these crackers hanging from
♦he roof of the cellar, from the ceil
ings of the stairways. from under tho
paddl'd peats of the chairs and sofas —
every place whore they can be con
veniently put and are likely to bo ot
use.
-I'Ka Idea Is simply this: If u Are
breaks out it can't nrnke much head
way before it reaches one of the crack
ers, and the explosion gives the alarm.
The Idea came to me some years ago.

cery store.
“The Are had pot cmuiderable he»A-

plosion of some canned goods which

te< five crackers would lie Just as
good.
"There is absolutely no danger, as
some would imagine, from the dyna
mite cracker, unless the fire is there,
and when a dynamite cracker —the
■ kind I uso Is about two inches long—
explodes it.throws Itself right out with
the force of the explosion. It is a
good plan to keep a couple bf them In
a warbrobe where there are a number
of garments. The probabilities, are
that if a fire took place the force of
the detective cracker In going off
would extinguish the blaze.
"1 have fixed up hundreds of these
crackers for various persons and cer
tainly do advise their use. especially
in houses in the suburbs, where there
are not likely to be people passing and

get considerable headway Itefore it Is

HARD TO SHOOf WILD GEESE
They Are Crafty, Resourceful unA Cau
tious iu Their Flights.
Young geese near the remote breed
ing grounds and before they have been
educated by the long, perilous flight
from north to south and back not
seldom behave lu a fashion calculated
to cast a doubt upon their intelligence,
but that is a common fault of youth
and inexperience, says the Illustrated
Sporting News. The 2-year-old goose
Is a very different fowl, and If there
be anything In feathers better able to
extract chunks of solid wisdom from
an experience with a trace of lead In it
I have not yet met that bird.
Nor is it at all strange that the
"honker" should be tireless In vigilance
and exceeding loath to trust his big.
shapely body too near any form of
growth or shelter which possibly
might conceal a man. Roughly speak
ing. tlie initial southern trip, from the
fowl's birthplace to the winter rendez
vous. Is an airy Jaunt of about 3.000
miles, more or less, at least one-third
of which is punctured with peril.
In all probability the true story of a
goose’s migration experiences would lie
something startling, especially lu re
gard to the quantity of lead of vari
ous sizes vainly hurled after -the ad
venturous flyer. Would It be pounds
or tons? At first glance the latter
quantity might appear absurd, but it
must be remembered that a goose is
long lived, while nine-tenths of Ills
would-be destroyers uso more load than
science in their methods. In any
event, if I had the choice of contract
for carrying In a canoe the goose or
the stuff Riat had missed him, there
wouldn’t be nny hesitancy ovor the se
lection of the freight.
The fact is that the honker la the
most shot at nnd the least killed of all
cur fowl, the reason for which Is sim
ple enough. Not a few old sportsmen
and all new bands at the game under
estimate by about one-half the distance
at which a flying goose Is passing. The
bulky laxly and great wings make a
noble spread, even when a eouple of
hundred yards off. nnd only long
schooling can teach the utter useless
ness of trying ut half that range with
any standard gun. To a novice, u
goose actually within sure distance
will npi>ear almost on top of him, nnd
it is only after a few fowl have been
killed, gathered nnd the distance at
which they fell noted that the eye ac
quires the knack of measuring with
anything like correctness the deceptive
mark.
Tom Was Not nt Home.
One afternoon in the Press Club at
Washington, a burly young fellow ap
peared beside a table where Tom Han

been standing long enough, nnd I’m

"This Is a club." quietly responded
skeleton Tom, “and you should haw

Just then a stalwart attendant took
tlie intruder by the arm, conducted
him to the door, and returned with the
card, which he banded to Hannum.

Handling Bags of Grain.
In grain-growing sections more or
less grain in bags has to be handled
by man-power, and this becomes con
siderable of a burden after a time.
A device for assisting in this work
may be easily constructed by any
handy man. Set a heavy post In the
ground so that It will stand about two
and one-half feet above the surface;
then take a heavy board, the wider
the better, and about ten feet long.
Out two pieces of board wedge-shape
and fasten to the lower edge of the
board. Cut these pieces so that when
they rest on the ground with the other
end of the board resting on the beveled
top of the post the whole thing is
firm.
Then have a hook formed with a
short handle, such a book as is used
FOR HANDLING BAGS OK GRAIN.
by truckmen In the cities. With the
hook lift the sack of grain on tlie
lower edge of the board, haul It up
the smooth surface of the board and
when at the end set on the sloping
‘Post it may be easily transferred to
one’s shoulders. In the Illustration
figure 1 shows how the wedge-shape
pieces must be cut, figure 2 bow the
post should be beveled, figure 3 the
Iron hook, aud figure 4 the slope of the
board.
Handling Fowls in Yards.
Where it Is necessary to keep the
fowlsconflned to houses and yards dur
ing the simmer and not much chance
to divide the yards, the best way to
handle them Is to have the., yards of
four-foot netting, the top covered over
as well, and every few weeks move
these yards to a new location, where
fowls have not been the present year.
This Is considerable trouble, but It
must be done If chicks and fowls ure
kept on a small area. If It Is not pos
sible to lot the fowls have a range,
then green food must be ^Provided in
some way. A good plan Is to give
them some cut grass or weeds at night
Just before they -go to roost.
A better plan is to rake up the cut
tings following the lawn mower, for
they can consume these short bladqg
better than grass cut with a scythe.
AU fowls In confinement ought to be
Allowed to run for an hour or two each
night, even though It Is necessary for
several people to keep them out of mis
chief. This run will do them a world
of good, and the egg results will pay
for the trouble of watching them.
Don’t forget the necessity for nn
abundance of fresh water several
times dally.
Single Wheel Trunk.
With this truck one can pick np a
barrel or bag of grain, fruit or vegeta
bles and wheel it away, even over a
rough path, something almost Impossi
ble with the small, double wheeled
grocery and freight trucks. A black
smith will mount a wheel beneath a
frame, as shown In the cut, and the
frame ought to be within tlie ability

of any one handy with tools. A. me
dium sized single wheel truck will do

truck.—Orange Judd Farmes.
Shade for the Svlae,
Shade for swine Is quite as neces
sary as for other animals, and when
one has a tree or two in the pasture
the question Of shade Is readily set
tled. Ls there are no trees plant three
or four, and while they are growing
uss portable bouses for shade, making
them with a sill set an runners and
with a ring set in ths front sill so
that a horse may b« attacbod and the
house moved when necoasary. These
bouses may be made of any cheap
material and the rsof arranged so that
a portion of it may couahir of tree
limbs laid over the boards set far
apart. The cost need not be great
and the results will pay for the time
nr.d labor spent.

in cases, houses, and thawed out as

Strawberry Planting.
Most fruit growers are familiar withr
the pot-grown strawberry plants offer
ed by nurserymen for setting lu thor
summer, says the Indianapolis News.
As a rule such plants are too expeu
slve to set In any considerable num
bea, but this Is an Ideal way to ob
tain plants of new sorts for testing;
though much more costly than tne lay
er plants one will get from them a
crop, next summer, of sufficient size to
determine the desirability of the va
riety. Then, too. It Is possible to in
crease one’s own plantation by taking:
from the old beds the new plants and
setting them out in the new beds any
time this month. To do this with the
best results, cut the runner which con
nects the new plant with the parent,
then a week later, Just after a rain,
dig up the young plant with a liberal
amount of soil attached to the roots
and s6t It with the soil on the root®
in the new bed.
With care not a plant will be lost
in the transplanting nnd these plants
will give one crop of berries next sum
mer nearly equal to those from year
old-set plants. The precaution to take
is to have the lump of soli adhere to
the roots so that the growtu of the
young plant will not be materia Uy
disturbed by the transplanting. Whore
but a few hundred plants arc to be
reset one can easily supply the wnter
to the soil necessary to make the soil
stick to the roots.
The New Year Book.
The annual report of the Secretary
of Agriculture occupies one hundred,

The New Peach Disease.
Tae disease called Little Peach la
giving serious trouble to ■orelmrdists
in New York and Michigan’, nnd tho
subject is being Investigated by Gov
ernment experts. Tho cause Is due. In
part at least, to a fungous growth
which attacks the roots, but the cause
has not been positively proved. The
ttutlady somewhat resembles peach yel
lows In its effect. The mnin symp
toms are the small size of the fruit
without special spots or blotches; the
general feebleness and final yellowing
of the trees anu their gradual decline
and death without apparent cause. T.i*
disease often spreads In n circle from
the tree first attacked. The spread!
Is slow, generally taking from three
to five years or more to spread through
an orchard. The only remedy yet dis
covered is to pull out the diseased
trees as soon as the first symptom*
appear, and this course Is the one
urged by the agents of the depart

General Farm Notes.
Long and hard pulling makes wind
broken horses.
If a sow breeds well nnd la n good
mother, keep her until she Is old.
Early nnd thorough training make* ►
gentle, safe aud tractable horses.
Clean off the ground occupied by
peas, early, corn or potatoes and sow
turnips.
Always breed from a thoroughbred
boar of good constitution nnd vigor.
HU vigor should be In excess of that
of the sow.
With poultry, as with nearly all
other products from the farm, a safe
rule is to market the surplus when

Among tlioroughbred poultry there
Is LUtU difference so far as {heir econ
omical points nee concerned, but on

Those who make the most in keep
