binding stones the paved rood being higher than the face of tom The municipality ot X alenchi ifi of opinion that the saving in cost of repairs through a road of this description pays for its construction in a short time and other and similar roadways are in contemplation From various parts of Spain in qairies have been made concerning this road I learn that a similar constiuc tton was decided on at Alicante in 1SO- Sfcut was temporarily abandoned when events caused exchange to increase A- toll of about eighttenths of a cent is charged each vehicle passing over thie roadway HOW TO BUILD ROADS They Shold Be Rounded Up in the Center so as to Sited Water to the Side Drains The first principle applicable to all Toads is good drainage Take the wa- ter out and keep the water out is a rule which must be followed in the mak- ing of road It is not enough to dig trenches at the side of the road and call them drains These trenches must be real drains that is they must have a good fall to a clear outlet and be in every respect capable of carrying the water away The road must be round- ed tp in the center so as to shed the wa ter quickly to the side drains There must be a track in the center of the road along which travel can pass This track must ba hard and smooth so as the least riotian xre vent ruts and at the same time permit water to run off the sides quickly Ruts and holes must not be permitted to form but be filled up as soon as they appear The drainage must not be abandoned with the tailing care of the surface water but in many instances must extend below the surface in the form of tile underdrains so as to firm foundation and lessen the de- structive action of the only to wet and water soaked roads In addition to the simple work on roads better methods with regard to culvert and bridge construction are grttetly- meedeifk The principles above enum xespect to roads require an infinity of special methods and treat- ments In arriving at the best results ac jaording at the land is high lying or low 3s clay sand vegetablemold etc is xDiflcuht of drainage according to the extent of travel the quality of road metal and many other varying conditions That road making sad highway work of all kinds is considered a matter in which every man is proficient is probably one of the evils underlying the bad conditions of our roads today Rural World I SLAB FENCE

Rule About Asking Questions After the Cracker Barrel club became disorganized there was no satisfactory place for the men and boys to congre gate during the long evenings until at last the regularsitters formed the habit of meeting at the engine house where the usual number of unanswerable questions were propounded Soon after the publication of The Message to Garcia it was brought to the quiet borough by a commuter who proposed the organization Message to Garcia club the purpose being he said to the number of questions which were always asked and generally could not be answered by the person asking them It was then suggested by a former president of the Cracker Barrel club that a rule of the new organiza tion should be that if anyone asked a question which he could not answer himself he should treat the crowd This proposition was received as most satisfactory by all at least none dis Among the members was a youth from over the mountain who was serv ing an apprenticeship at blowing in nearby snuff factory On the morning following the organization of the Message to Garcia ciub this youth while resting for a moment from his work inquired of the foreman of the factory if the asking of questions talked about at the organization of the club held as against a person when away from the club He was told that such was the condition and that if he asked a question which he could not answer he was liable to pay for the crowd even though they were not present when the question was asked After a brief silence the youth asked How is it when a chipmunk makes a hole there is no dirt at of the holeThe foreman replied Ah ha I guess you have asked a question that you can not answer yourself Oh no said the youth 1 can an swer it Well then said the foreman how is itWell said the youth the chip- munk begins at the bottom to dig his hole Begins at the bottom how does he get there to begin said the foreman That is ix question of your own ask- ing said the youth When this phase of the newly organ ized club was discussed and it dawned upon the older members that there were unforseen possibilities in the operation- of the purposes of the club the matter of npete organization was deferred and the Message to Garcia club has been dismantled X Y Sun BEETS AND SUGAR CANE More of the Former Is Manufacturer Than of the The worlds production of fox the year now ending has reached the enormous total of S414OCO tons The production of this staple has increased 3 times since 1S72 the output was only 2019000 tons Tht average price per pound however declined considerably more than one half during the same period or from 537 cents in the earlier year to 23 cents for the year 1S9S the average for the current year not yet being ascer- tainable Beet sugar production slightly sur passed that of cane sugar for the first time in 1SS3 when 2147000 tons of the former were produced as against 2107 000 tonsof the latter the growing cheapness of the commod ity and the European bounty system beet sugar the quantity of cane sugar produced continued to increase from year to year until 1S95 when it amount ed to 3530000 tons The destruction of the Cuban plantations accounts for the fact that the output of cane sugar has declined until the quantity manufac- tured during the current year amount ed to only 2904000 tons as compared with 5510000 tons of beet sugar It is not Ifkeiy that the limit of the worlds demand for sugar has even nearly been reached anti with the introduc tion of improved methods the West In dian cane should be able meet and the competition the European beet farmers It is not in the nature of things that an essen tielly tropical product should be per- manently displaced by a grown in the lighter soil and underthe less fervid

END OF A CLUB-

It Was Brought About by the Tin

foreseen Possibilities of a RuleAbout Asking Questions

After the Cracker Barrel club becamedisorganized there was no satisfactoryplace for the men and boys to congregate during the long evenings until atlast the regularsitters formed the habitof meeting at the engine house wherethe usual number of unanswerablequestions were propounded Soon afterthe publication of The Message toGarcia it was brought to the quietborough by a commuter who proposedthe organization Message to Garciaclub the purpose being he said to

the number of questions whichwere always asked and generally couldnot be answered by the person askingthem It was then suggested by aformer president of the Cracker Barrelclub that a rule of the new organization should be that if anyone asked aquestion which he could not answerhimself he should treat the crowdThis proposition was received as mostsatisfactory by all at least none dis

Among the members was a youthfrom over the mountain who was serving an apprenticeship at blowing

in nearby snuff factory On themorning following the organization ofthe Message to Garcia ciub this youthwhile resting for a moment from hiswork inquired of the foreman of thefactory if the asking of questionstalked about at the organization of theclub held as against a person whenaway from the club He was told thatsuch was the condition and that if heasked a question which he could notanswer he was liable to pay for

the crowd even though they werenot present when the question wasasked

After a brief silence the youth askedHow is it when a chipmunk makes a

hole there is no dirt at of theholeThe

foreman replied Ah ha I guessyou have asked a question thatyou cannot answer yourself

Oh no said the youth 1 can answer it

Well then said the foreman howis itWell said the youth the chip-munk begins at the bottom to dig hishole

Begins at the bottom how does heget there to begin said the foreman

That is ix question of your own ask-ing said the youth

When this phase of the newly organized club was discussed and it dawnedupon the older members that there wereunforseen possibilities in the operation-of the purposes of the club the matterof npete organization was deferredand the Message to Garcia club has beendismantled X Y Sun

The worlds production of foxthe year now ending has reached theenormous total of S414OCO tons Theproduction of this staplehas increased 3 times since 1S72the output was only 2019000 tons Thtaverage price per pound howeverdeclined considerably more than onehalf during the same period or from537 cents in the earlier year to 23cents for the year 1S9S the average forthe current year not yet being ascer-tainable

Beet sugar production slightly surpassed that of cane sugar for the firsttime in 1SS3 when 2147000 tons of theformer were produced as against 2107000 tonsof the latterthe growing cheapness of the commodity and the European bounty systembeet sugar the quantity of cane sugarproduced continued to increase fromyear to year until 1S95 when it amounted to 3530000 tons The destruction ofthe Cuban plantations accounts for thefact that the output of cane sugar hasdeclined until the quantity manufac-tured during the current year amounted to only 2904000 tons as comparedwith 5510000 tons of beet sugar It isnot Ifkeiy that the limit of the worldsdemand for sugar has even nearlybeen reached anti with the introduction of improved methods the West Indian cane should be ablemeet and the competitionthe European beet farmers It is notin the nature of things that an essentielly tropical product should be per-manently displaced by agrown in the lighter soil and undertheless fervid rays of the sun of the tem-perate zone Philadelphia Record
