I tried Devleral remediest, some of them very coolly, without getting any more than temporary relief at the most. At this juncture a friend Urged.ine to try Dr. Wallow' Pink Pills, and opoko so highly of the pills that I decided to try them.. Al- most frcnn the very first these pills helped me, and by the time I had taken seven or eight boxes, every twinge of rheumatism had disap- peared and I WAS feeling better than I bad for yeare. I would etrongly advise similar sufferers to give Dr. William' Pink Pills a fair trial, as I am confident they will not onlydrive away all pains and itchee, but leave you strong, active and happy.' Dr, Wililitme' Pink Pills are the greatest tonic medicine In the world.

The woman who appeals to them is usually some sparkling, vivacious, fairy-like creature with kittenish ways and roguish glances. The little man, on the contrary, is seldom burdened with humility.

In or- der to give an °biota lesson on the value of emelt rotate, and the proper manner to build them, the Good Roads Train was employed to build it model stretch of otone road from a third to a half a mile in extent, in each of ten counties, and to roll and grade an adcIttional stretch. The sel- ection of the various stretches of road was left with the County Coun- cils, with the understanding that the Township Councils should furnish all the necessary stone, teams, laborers, etc. Owing to the heavy expense in- curred, each County Coancil was asked to make a grant of $100 for each stretch of road butit. In building these sample roads, the firet thing is to provide the lamas- ite drainage, which is the fundamen- tal principle of road making. The roadbed is then shaped with the grader, making the centre con- siderably higher than the sides so that the water will readily run off into the ditches. After roiling with the big steam roller, a trench about eight feet wide and six inches deep is cut down the centre of the road. Into this trench is put first a layer of coarse broken tone;etthen a lay- er of flne stone, lastly a layer of still finer stone as a dressing. This last...layer helps to as possible by rolling, be strictly ad- hered to. In fact a good earth road is second to none for summer travel, and superior to many of the so-called rnaaedam or stone roads. But the earth roads must be covered with some artificial material, if they are to be made, firm and nnyielcling at all aeasene and to all kinds of wea- ther, with a surfaco smooth and im- pervious to 'water. Good Ronde Train.—The Depart- ment of Public Road Inquiries and the Natienal Good Roads, Association of the tinted Statescombined their forces a couple of years ago for the purpose of forming object lessons on the collet:motion and value of good roads to farmers in a largo number of countries. A Good. Roads Train was equipeed and run between Chi- cago and New Orleans, building short sample etretches of model road, and holding local conventione in various counties along the route. By this means' spiencliel educational work was done in the direction of impressing upOn the people thn desirability of better roads, and the facility with which they can be constructed. Realizing the great good that would be accomplished effort was Why Want Wilithones They were dining off fowl in a restaurant.

The ten -ton steam rol- ler is run over each layer of stones ais It is put on. The rolling is always done down the sides of the trench first so that the stones will be crowded towards the centre. When the rolling ofe the sample stretch is completed, the stone Elhould be about seven inches deep, which is sufficient to stand ordinary traffic. Such a road may heave to a slight extent in some localities, but the expense of keeping it in repair will be much leen than for an ordinary clay road. Coat of such roads. Roads, such as those that have been built by the Good Roads Train coot anywhere from a500 to $1,000 per mile, accord- ing to naanagement and cost of stone. The average stone road costs from $600 to $750 per mile. Such roads need a certain amount of repairing, the same an other roads, but not much. The number of cords of stone re- quired for a mile of road depends al- together upon the depth of stone laid down. If laid on eight feet wide and eight inches deep in the centre, itwould take about 220 to 240 cords per mile. Outfit of machinery. A traction en- gine for hauling the grader and working the crusher, a crusher, ele- vator binsspreading wagons, and a Deo or six ton horse roller would met altogether about $2,800, and thie outfit would be eufficient to do all the work for any ordinary muni- cipality.

The cake described below was baked by a mother for a child's party, 0.1111 the decorations made it the triumph of the ta.ble. The foundation was a simple cake mixture owing its light- ness to white of eggs. Follow this recipe: Cream half a cup.of butter, adding gradually two cups of sugar, beat till very light and creamy. Sift together three and one- third cups of flour, five teaspoons of baking powder and half a teaspoon of salt.' Add half a cup of this to the beaten butter and _sugar, add flour and milk alternately, pitting in one cup of milk. At the last flavor with one teaspoon of vanilla and cut in the whites of four eggs beaten to a dry froth. Bake In a large round pan well buttered and floured. This cake requires a rather moderate oven and steady watching while It rises. Turn it with the utmost care occa- sionally so that It may be shapely. When cool cover with a plain frosting. made from the white of one egg beaten stiff, two teaspoons of cold water and three-fourths of a cup of oonfectioner'e sugar rolled smooth. Add half a tenapoon of vanilla. Beat thoroughly; spread it on the cake with a broad -bladed spatula, wetting the knife occasionally in cold water to make the icing spread well. When this has hardened put on the cane - mental icing. Beat the whites of two eggo till very stiff and add two tablespoons of confectioner's sugar. Beat hard and keep adding sugar until one cup has been used. While putting in the sugar add gradually two teaspoons of lemon juice. Con- tinue adding sugar by spoonfuls till the frosting is so thick that when you lift a spoonful and cut it with a knife it will remain parted. To color the ornamental part dis- solve a small particle of whatever coloring le desired in the lemon juice. Coloring pastes come in fruit red, damask pink (which is a vivid cerise), leaf green, violet, golden yellow and orange. It is almost impossible to get too little coloring into icing, but It is very possible to use too much. The quantity that can be lifted on the point of it toothpick is sufficient to give a beautiful tint. The cake Imre described had a White founda- tion icing and the ornamental part Was a delicate pink, which matched exactly the pink candles. When ready' to add the wreathe and roses, put the icing in a pastry bag with as !tube bent in like teeth at the nozzle. Lift the bag and equeeze the icing gently until it begins to come from the tube. Hold lightly In the right hand and decorate the cake as desired with wreath -like festoone, roses or the tiny buds which are the result of a slight squeeze upon the bag. Do not over -ornament; this le a waste of icing and Is not as beau- tiful are a little graceful decoration.
