Therefore that Is the point from which toeonslder the matter; j: jifhMU: ' Ltnstakeforeiampleamanwhoowne f 3,000 farm eight miles from a market ' town. Two horses or males are euffl ' clent for his ordinary farm work but " In order to get his product to market ' promptly he has to keep one extra team j because of bad roads. Tbt keep' of the extra feam will average at tbe' lowest ' eah'uiatiin 2 a week or f 104 a ' year. Even then it takes an extra day to male ' the trip to town, where!", with , good ' whaling it might bt aocompllsbed In half a day. ' The farmer must -charge up bis Ioms of time to ths roads. If a, nem ber of the family has occasion to sro ' mlht away a horss mnet be -.bltcVed up, w?in waiting would te a pieasuit on a " amixitb mad, and there ftf'anothe waste ; of tim. There are other ways ' In which bal roads contribute more or less to re duce the profits of farming, enough to to a-ld Lilly 200 to the cost of running a 2,000 f lira 10 per, rent Now; sup- r pose the aeseMuient on the farm for, the statiUnhinent of a hard, dry roadway all tns war Into town was 4 per cent, - the owner would save 6 per cent, that is be would tie able to do enough mora work and enough more marketing to add that . much to his income. Rut a 4 per cent asseiHtnent Is beyond all precedent and - - mat mates tbe proportion mucn more " one-elded. ' - The wave of enthusiasm for good roade dose not seem to have struck Lenoir ' county yet but it Is surging alt around us and cannot miss. Therefore wben it couw we bg tbe farmer to figure it out and consider it along the line suggested the business basis of dollars and cents saved, and thus made, for "to save Is to have'1 according to the proverb. Then there Is another point 1 3 be con - aidered In favor of road Improvement, Good roads Invariably Increase the value of abutting lands and Is the strongest attraction for new settlers. - h A " The fact Is' there is no good argument that can be brought against good roads because every strong argument Is In flavor of them. ', : r.'i There is only one method for obtain ing good roads, that is to have an ex vers Dugineer ana ; roaa nuiider sur vey.; them to determine the style1 of Improvement" best suited to the 1 soil . and topography, to estimate tbe prob able cost and to make plans and speeifi. ' cations accordingly. Then, if a law Is ..obtained to authorise it and that Is the first step to be takenthe county should Issue 80-year bonds, so that the burden oi cobs wonia i u partly upon tbe com . tag generations whieh will receive ite full share of the benefits, and with these bonds the made ehonM be constructed ' nder olrectluu of th expert engineer and the supervision of a joint committee 1 of county officials and citisens. ; Money pent on roads built by Inex ' perienced workmen la worse than thrown - away. Let no one think It la economy to save a fcw hundred or even, thousand dollars la this way.. , Neither would there be economy la having every bit of the v work done by convicts. v Every county which has had experience will subecribe to this. , , -. , ., Au'eipertroalbunJersiTS t' e ro- s la i: a t-.-ru Caro2!n. --? t' j V t irovkt-ecotof r ' - ' . t 1 Tin .

This Tbo Delineator helps one to form by the following among other use ful suggestions and sketches: A ' trick learned to school days or writing down what is to be memorised Is available' here to establish1 in the mind tbe different points to be covered;, The Purpose or use'of the room, the color and kind ;; of woodwork, the amount of light In the room, the' color that harmonizes best with the' floor coverings and furniture, tbe wall colors of adjacent rooms, the price to be paid and tbe number of rolls required. A coved or dome ceiling should be painted In water colors, (another name for calcimine)'; and the color carriea down over the curve tor a point where a . wooden molding citn be run In an even line entirely- around the room. TlioV rinfrtn rolling In. low 'roofed houses or cottages sometimes renders this line of molding impracticable. 'A way vto meet this .difficulty, Is both novel and pretty. Cover the celling and side walla with one paper, using no border, no frieze, celling tint or pic ture rail, . tbe frames of pictures cov ering the nails from which any pic tures arfc bung. A paper for this sort of use must not show etrinos, nor be sprawly in design. The pattern should fit together compactlyi and the colors be medium light A - paper used In tula way was printed in soft pinks and greens and set off the terra cotta fire- j place to great advantage. A popular notion mat piain papers perform the- best . service aa back grounds for furniture and pictures of ten exists with an exaggerated idea of tbe value of these possessions, and . Ignorance of the many richly toned, quiet designed papers that are in the market papers that assimilate the best belongings in a harmonious whole without throwing out any one part in particular. Butthe plain papers in ingrain, crape, felt or silk fiber have undeniable strongholds that no pat tern papers can approach. A frieze of plain paper in a dining room above ft plate shelf brings out rare bits- of china to advantage. ; In men's "dens" or studies a plain burned orange or pumpkin yellow is fine background for old armor and curiosities of all kinds. A soft sea green tint In ft young girl's bedroom Is the daintiest setting for aquarelles and cut flowers. An original way to treat the walls of a guestroom is to paper It wltn a pic ture paper, where each visitor In turn Will enjoy the story it tells. This is ft colonial idea that has been resurrected of late with other good things of that interesting period. Of course no fram ed pictures should come In competi tion with ft paper of this kind, and. r 3 T AT' 3 I 3 t U -ys iffrftm y8v A '-U 1 i It A I JsT f THE CARE OF A WATCH. Cloaallaeea, RoarahMr WlaSlif tL ' i Vrmpm Poaltloa. Generally speaking, the- understand lng of the public, as to what, should reasonably be expected from a watch and how it is to be treated la very lim ited. A little Instruction In this regard may benefit the people as well aa pro tect - watchmakers from ; undeserved censure. -, A watch must be well treated If It Is required to perform well Its duty. Nobody neglects ft large engine or anv kind of extended and comnll- cated machinery.' The utmost care ts' taken to observe Its working day and tiight and. It la no more than natural to believe that watch, containing the smallest and most complicated mechan ism, demands extraordinary attention, corf and protection as well as large machinery. A watch, even If of very good qual ity, can only give satisfaction If It Is treated with regard to its subtle con struction. Its possessor must prevent It from falling or being knocked about A ' Jump from a street car has more than once caused, a stood timepiece In the Jumper's pocket to change its rate. A. watch must be kept clean and in clean place. . Dust and small particles of , the pocket lining gather continuous ly, Jin the pockets, and even tbe best fitting case cannot prevent dirt finding Its way to tbe wheels and pivots of tbe movement. Match pockets should be turned Inside out and cleaned at regu lar intervals. A watch ought to be wound regularly at about tbe same hour every day. The best time to do this Is In the morning. for: two reasons: . First because 4tbe hours of rising and dressing are more regular with most people than their hours of disrobing and retiring; second, because the full power of the main spring is more likely to reduce to minimum the Irregularities caused by the movements of tbe owner during tbe day. Wben not carried in the pocket watch should always bang by Its ring In tbe same position as it Is worn. - A8 a rule, watches will run with a differ ent rate when laid down. Only high grade watches are adjusted to positions and will show only a. few seconds dif ference in ' twenty-four hours, while common watches may be out several minutes in one night v Ladles often ; complain that their watches do not run regularly. This may be on account of smaller size and more difficult regulating, but the main reason for tne faulty rate is to pe found in tbe fact that ladles do pot al ways carry tbelr watches and conse quently often forget to wind them. ' ,. Never leave a bunting case'watcn open during a considerable length of time. A careful observer, will find In the morning a layer of dust oo the crystal of a watch that has been open during the nighf ;That dust will , find its way into the movement The; dust on tbe outside of the case will be uncon sciously ruopea on oy tne wearer, out I'when the watch Is closed the dust., 'in side of tbe case must remain tbere, A Klee Blrtfcdar Coke Foe a Child, A marshmallow cat or mouse cake Is suggested by Good Housekeeping as suitable for a birthday cake.

Little chil dren, not In the least bad tempered, often sleep with a frown upon tbelr faces, and this habit leads to a wrin kled forehead. But the wrinkles thus formed are not tbe ugliest by any means. Those most to be dreaded are the little Hues which appear round the eyes and mouth from the falling away or tbe bad condition of the skin of the face. In some cases this is due to an overdryness of the skin, and here facial massage does wonders, with the ap plication, of really proper skin foods and creams for its nourishment , Faahioaable Tclllna.

A RAILROAD INNOVATION. teaiwemcr Modlelao Cheat Dcalaracal Par Chleaa and Altoat Roadt Consulting Surgeon Howard Crutch- er of the Chicago and Alton road has designed surgeon's chest to be placed on every passenger train on tbe road, says the Chicago Tribune. It Is radical ly different from the cheats generally used in that" it , weighs only seven pounds and measures 1 foot by 0 by 7 inches. Heretofore tbe cases have been unwieldy. - 1 The case planned by Dr. Crutcber is Intended to contain everything ft physi cian may need to perform simple op eration of to dress an injury before ths removal of patients to ft hospital. . The contents will include antiseptics, chlo roform, a full set of hypodermic instru ments, antiseptic bandages and cause and a powerful emetic to be used in case of internal 'poisoning. . There will also be a scalpel, spud and ft couple of forceps. , t" , . , ' At the same time a first aid package has been prepared for the use of all train bands, yard and switch men. This an innovation in tbe railroad world made at the suggestion of President Felton.. The package will contain a tin box. 0 by 8 by V& inches, containing an tiseptic' powder, bandage, cotton and gauze necessary to panaage a sugni abrasion or a . serious wound , while awaiting the arrival of ft surgeon.' The Dackasre will be : hermetically sealed and when once opened will be replaced by new one. , - ' ' It Is also nlanned to Put In tbe buf fet cars of all through trains such sim ple household remedies as a layman can use without danger. It Is not in tended to fit trains with the elaborate paraphernalia carried by some south ern lines, but rather to provide against Injury to passengers from Inability to find a physician at once or in case of a serious wreck to enable any traveling surgeon to assist In the work of relief prior to the arrival of regular assist ance.: mere is naraiy a point on tne Alton road where a physician or sur geon cannot be obtained after an hour's fun. , The authorities of the road decline to discuss tbe matter at this time, prob ably on account of the agitation, over train wrecks," but ' acknowledge the matter has been receiving serious at tention.
