IlEHK has been a larger ox

the Inipi'ovement of
public highways In the
part
season than in any previ
ous live years of our history. The
aSKt-esate of money appropriated for
the betterment of highways will
mount into the millions of dollars.
rublie Feiiliuient In favor of better
highways has developed so rapidly
that it has been didietilt to keep track
of the various international. National
mid State conventions that have been
tailed to promote the cause. This in
terest has been manifested uat only
l.y farmers, good roads enthusiasts
and public cliicials. but also by sever
al of the great trunk line railways.
If every State ia the Union had an
advocate of frocd roads with half the
spirit and energy of Slate Senator
Marie, of Detroit, Mieh., tile work of
the nest decad? would brie; marvel
lous change in the public hiwuways
of the I'nited Siatis. If the same
Methods that he has biotiitht into use
in his own Slate should be employed
elsewhere It would be diflicuit to find
in the Liore thickly populated dis
tricts, at leas', an impassable piece of
rerd at the end of ten years.
Senator liarlo is by no means a nov
ice in this Held, for ln has sp.'iit sev
eral years of active service as one of
the expert instruc.ors in fccod read

of the L)i par,:aont. of l'ublie Hunt in

1 er of the Slaic Senaie of Mh liian
Iroi.i DeaTit. At thi'C lime ih re was
no organization i;t the State which had
fer its object the improver.:;;!.: of the
highways.
Immediately inca the a.----embling of
the State Legis'.a.r.ro la": winter be
began to agitate the gn.t reads ques
tion. It was thro.igit his ef.'tris that
tiie Miehigi.ii Highway Association
was organized and be.an its work,
lie was placed at the head of lh Com

It has been urged ly somo that

A reetiit bulletin of the Division of
Hydrography, United Slates t.'eolog
iciil Survey, remarks that tlie storage
ol most of the spring waters which
would otherwise go to waste has come
to be one of the necessities of the
Western States. In past years water
was considered Important largely in
eontiettinii wi'li the limited amount
of land then under Irrigation, but so
rapidly have the demands of irrigation
advanced ami bo greatly is water
needed, not only for this, but for other
new purposes as well, such as cheap
power to generate electricity and for
town and city supply, that it has now
become a question of saving all the
water of the streams, that of the
freshet season in the spring as much
lis possible, as Wtil as the summer's
How, to laeet the lucre asiug demands.
This must be dt.n, by the construc
tion of laege storage reservoirs, and
already great activity is being shown
la the Western States, and especially
in California, in making preliminary
surveys lor these iii-ee.-sary and im
portant undertakings.
The United Sams (ieological Sur
vey has recently published, in its in
ter sting scries of water supply and
i.-rigittion papers, the risu'ts cf one
of these investigations looking lo the
storage e-C water ia the valley of Cache
Creek, one of the iinnoriiiiit agricul
tural and fruit raising districts near
Sacramenio noted fur iis fertility and
protltictiveiii ss. The basin of this
stream is nUo cf cuiis!, livable addi
tional Importance, as it cinnains at
liie head waters of Cachea Crock the
I on ut ii'nl body nt waicr known as
dear Lake, siiuaie.t in the heart of
tlie Coast llange, at an elevation of
over 1SU0 feet dhow sea level. The
purity of lis waic.s and its relative
nearness to San l'laiicisco make its
storage possibilities as a probable sup
ply for that city of cuiisideiable value.

"There are a good many people in
this town who cimht 10 lay in a new
edition of Did tilery," said a Weatern
man ,i: was visiting in New York
during the recent period of National
.iiouniiug. "I was surprised to see
so many soiled and lattered Hags un
furled from niriivp:iiilan windows.
"Some of them leok as If they bad
been in us;' for lii'ly fears. Of course
they bad ir i bci n usul so long, for
they had the proper number of stars,
but' no me iter l,v lung their time en
earth, they had a n.esi disreputable
appearance. It is sui -p-.v-ing that the
banners should in su-li a discredit
abb' coiidiiicn in li'.is ci-.y, where the
at im-iphere is char and free from
smoke. Now. y.01 might reasonably
expect C' Pud siieii a s".:ue of affairs in

toal soot that you could ciii ii with a

stiindit'.g lie se adverse c.nidili.His, our
Hags are ail right. The citizens on our
res'ub nee streets would be ashamed
to lly such st. 1 ill-, d banners as these
that I saw ilr.iiering it'eiii many a
brownslone New York lmiise. Aud It
is the same way in ail t.nr NVestern
towns, large aud smail. The inhabi
tants thcrei'f may imt be a whil more
palriotie than Nt w Yoii:.;s. but they
certainly do have the km'.ek of mani
festing their devotion to country by
im ans of bright, clean liags." New

A .'llile It' lllll't?ist.
Lord Justice Mathew wits some
years ago the brio of a story which,
so far as we knew, has not been repro
duced among the batch which his re
cent appointment has recalled from
oblivion. The leain.d judge is pos
sessed of a mild and kindiy exterior,
which at itrst sight gives the impres
sion that its owner is a simple country
gentleman rather than an expert law
yer. At any rate this was evidently
Hie view of a professional seller of
painted birds who one day met Sir
James in the noitdiborhood of Ilie
Strand Law Courts, and. showing him
one of his birds, asked that eminent
dispensator of just lee to what species
he would take it to hcl-uig. The Judge
stopped, carefully examiii.d the gaudy
little creature, and ili-n replied that
be had not .-ecu a bird exactly like
that one before, but. judging from tlie
old proverb that birds of a feather
flock together, he sh--u!d say it was a
jailbird. The Im -.Hiding vendue did
uot wait for more. Liverpool l'ost.

When your kitchen range lire refuses
to burn brightly and the oven fails
to bake or roast properly, do not blatue
Ihe range vnnil you have tried to find
the reason for the trouble.
A "clean'' range is a necessity for
satisfactory cooking. Lift off iho cov.
ers and see If there is int a lnyer of
line asli on top of the oven so thick
that it lessens the draught aud pre
vents the heat from peneiratiug to Ihe
oven. This should be lifted out and
not swept into ihe lire er down be
side the oven.
Itrttsh the side of the oven clean, then
get at the most important part, the
bottom. Some ovens hnva a plate
011 tho insido that lifts out. some a
plaie on the outside; some are made
to lie drawn out altogether. If you
have a stove man once to clean for you
and see how he dors it you will not
need him again. Notice how he gets
at tiie bottom, and above all, see that
ho leaves things so that you can take
out the cover or ovea yourself when
you wish to. Yen can get the ordinary
scraper at any department store, and
also a long-handled dust brush or
whisk broom. These will answer iu
nearly every case. This is a diny job,
but should bo attended to once a
luonih.
Much often depends upon how the
fire Lnx is k"pt. Masses of clinkers
ore allowed to gather on the bricks.
These stituild be removed by common
salt plac, d on Ihem while the fire
is hot. If they do not come off the
first day they will the second or third
by using more salt and la; niug them
with the poker. Do not let ashes or
cinders gather about the rap of the
tire box.
In starting a fire dump everything
out. Do not try to start a fire ou top
of ashes or cinders, as it will often sulk
for a whole day. The cinders eau
be burned to good-ad vantage on top of
the lire afterward. Use as Utile paper
as possible in starting, and do not
pack the coal in. fill the box to the
top of the bricks aud no further. Tok
iug the tire spoils it, shaking cover
hurts it.
If you range sets into tho wall and
the pipe runs strrignt up into a sheet
iron board, and the craft is poor, tho
chances are that the pipo does not con

the pipe run up into the cud of the
