LAYING OUT A ROAD,
Billings Was In No Hurry, 8o the Work
Was Done Right.
A good many years ago C. K. G. Bil-
lings, who made his millions in Chi-
cago gas, bought a good sized plot of
ground on the heights overlooking the
Iludson river at the upper end of Man.
hattan Island. Some time later he put
up a house which still remains the
pride of "seeing New York" guides.
When the land had been bought the
question arose as to the best means of
laying out a roadway up the steep and
rocky hill, at the crest of which the
!louse was to stand. Mr. Billings was
puzzled. He wanted to make it as easy
u climb as he could. He mentioned the
problem to his friend W. 0. Muschen-
beim, a New York hotel proprietor. Mr.
Musehenheim, who was familiar with
the hills and dales of that part of New
York, gave the following advice:
"You aren't in any great hurry, so
why don't you have it done right? Put
one of your cows on that land and give
her time to lay out a path up that hilL
Trust her to Ond the easiest and most
comfortable grade."
Mr. Billings followed the suggestion,
and in the course of time the cow
made a path which has long since been
developed into a permanent, winding,
slowly ascending roadway. -Saturday

BIRTH OF A LETTER.
The Way "W" Came to Take the Place
of theOId "VV."
The printers and language makers of
the latter part of the sixteenth cen-
tury began to recognize the fact that
there was a sound in spoken English
which was without a representative in
the shape of an alphabetical sign or
character, as in the Orst sound in the
word "wet."
Prior to that time It had always been
spelled as "vet," the v having the long
sound of u or of two ifs together. In
order to convey an idea of the new
sound they began to spell ouch words
as "wet," "weather," "web," etc., with
two u's. and as the of that elate teas
a t3fliral v the three words above look-
ed like this: "Vvet," "vveather,"
Aflar awhile the typefooutlers recog-
nized the fact that the double 1 had
(•sale to stay, so th0y joined the two u's
together and mach' the character now
so well knOW11 ns W. There aro books
in which throe forms of the w are giv-
en. The first is an old double v IVY);
the next is one in which the last stroke
of the first v crosses the first stroke of
the seeond. and the third is the emu -
MOD W we use today.

dowry the sovereignty of the I,ow

Spain ascended the throne in 1621 he
took from his aunt the sovereignty of
the Low Countries, but )eft her the
title of governess. Her husband died
soon after, whereon she took the veil.
though still retaining the reins of gov-
ernment. She died at Brussels in
1030, aged sixty-six. here there is
precedent for the nse of the word gov-
erness when a lady holds the post. -

For a Live Man in Wingham
POULTRY POINTERS.
Give the hens plenty of good pure
water in clean dishes.
It pays to provide plenty of green food
for the laying hens.
Learning how to prevent diseases in
poultry is worth far more than learning
how to cure them.
Cleanliness, light, dry, bouses, fresh
feed and pure water count in the poul-
try business.
A general cleaning up of the premises
will help greatly in keeping down rats.
Brooder chicks must be provided
with some kind of exercise.
Grease or insect powder should be ap-
plied to all young chicks infested with
lice.
It is poor policy to feed inferior grain
to poultry, especially to laying hens.
Don't keep the culls, the loafers, the
puny weakly chicks around. Cull them
out.
Protein the hens must have, and ani-
mal protein is better for them than vege-
table protein.
Don't feed corn alone. Give the hens
some wheat and oats if you want plenty
of eggs.
Refuse from the family table is re-
lished by the hers, ar.d it pays better
in the hen pen than in the hcg pen.
For hatching r.urr:oses eggs from two
year old hens give better satisfaction
than eggs frc•m younger stock.
