CLARK, who lives on an improved road in Lauderdale County, Mississippi, makes the follow- ing convincing statement: "I live four miles from the city and two miles from the school. This has been the worst winter I have ever seen, but there hasn't been a single day that my children haven't walked- to school, and not a single day have they come homewith wet feet, and to think, they walked down the_priddle of the road, Not one of thein has been sick with a cold even, while heretofore my doctor bills have been more than my road tax. Talk to me aboutpaying taxes to build roads. I am willingsto pay taxes on my pack of fox hounds, my bird 'dogs, my chickens, my horses, and, if necessary, my wife and children, if they will use it in extending roads like this all over the country. I would rather have my house and ten acres of land on this road like it is now than have my whole farm, on the . old road like it was before improvement." A Concrete Road is the most satisfactory and economical road that can be built. It requires practically' no expenditure for upkeep, and enables road taxes to be invested in more good roads instead of being spent in filling mud, holes and ruts. It is permanent, safe, clean and passable the year 'round. For complete information about Concrete Roads, simply send a post card to Concrete Rond.

There are few mayors whose family connection with the borough over whose destinies they preside goes back as far as the year 1200, but such is the case with Councillor Robert Cater, the mayor of Huntingdon, Eng, Mr. Cater is a member of the ancient body of freemen of the borough, and the present is the fourth occasion on which he has filled the mayoral chair. He is the proprietor of an iron- mongery business, one of the chief es- tablishments of the town. - This par- ticular business was founded by hie father, who set up for himself on £6 advanced him by an elderly maiden lady in London. Trade grew and the business prospered exceedingly. The lady fell into poverty, and as some as ilir, Cater heard of it he settled on her an annuity, which she regularly re- ceived until her death at the age of ninety, Y• A "Fine Old Woman."

In sal- nds they almost entirely supplant both the dried and the decocted herbs since thele• fresh colors are pleasing to the eye acct their crispness to the palate, whereas the specks of the dried herbs w-ouh] be objectionable, and both these and the decoctions impart a somewhat Inferior flavor to such dishes. No matter in what condition or for what purpose they aro to be used the flavors of foliage herbs are invariably best in well developed leaves and shoots still in full vigor of growth, With respect to the plant as a whole these flavors are most abundant and pleasant just before the flowers sip. pear, Since they are generally due to essential oils which are quickly distal-- pated by beat they are more abundant in the morning than after the sun halt rerche1 the zenith. As a general rule. therefore, best re milts with foliage herbs, especially those to be used for drying and infus- ing, may be secured when the plants seem ready to flower, the harvest be - Ing made as soon as the dew has dried and before the day has become very warm. The leaves of parsley, how- ever, may be gathered as soon as they attain that deep green characteristic of the mature leaf. Since the leaves are produced continuously for many weeks the uaature ones may be re- moved every week or so, a process which encourages the further produc- tion of foliage and postpones the ap- pearance of the flowering stem.—Amer [can Agriculturist.

In the west and north as far as Hud son bay a species of rat is found that has a tail like the squirrel and is known as the bushy tailed rat, al- though more familiarly as the pack rat because of the curious trait it has of packing off with everything it can get hold of and carry. One reads a great many things regarding the Intel- ligence of rats, but from all accounts these pack rats seem to be the clever est of the race.
