The peacock took all her play in good part and Beemed to enjoy It. Perhaps he was only flattered by pussy's admiration, or perhaps he felt a true friendship for his new acquaint ance. A Queer Sight In Panama. The people that live on the isthmus of Funania are the only people on the two American continents that can see the buu rise In the Pacific ocean and set in the Atlantic. That, yon see, completely reverses the order of things, for the Pacific Is west and the Atlantic east, and it seems strange to us that the sun should rise where we think of It as setting. But If you will look at a good map you will see that the Isthmus curves In such a way that the waters (of Panama bay, which is a part of the Pacific,' ore east and the Caribbean sea, wblcb is a part of the Atlantic, la west This Is true, however, only when the sun Is at Its greatest south ern declination. The fact Is a curious one and Is worth remembering. A Sentence Labyrinth.

V Wallace in San Francisco Chronlol. Subscribe lor Western SantineL Drainage Convention iri City of New Berne Considerable enthusiasm has been aroused regarding the Drainage Con vention that is to be held at Newbern, September 9th and 10th.

It will represent money 'that It would be impossible for him to obtain out of the land under normal conditions. t The program is tentatively arranged for the meeting as follows: ' Wednesday. 10:30 a. m. Address of welcome by Hon. A. D. Ward, mayor of Newbern. Organization of convention. Appointment of committees. 11:30 a. m. Address, Hon. John H. Small. ; 12 m. Methods of drainage, J. O.

Pension For Early. ''John R. Early, the leper," says Zach McGhee, the Washington corres pondent of the Charleston Observer, "will receive a pension of $72 a month for total disability incurred while a soldier in the army, according to the statement of the Commissioner of Pensions. The pension wll begin as soon as the legal difficulty which sur rounds the payment of the money can be solved. "These difficulties are due; to the fact that the man cannot, because of his segregation, spend the money himself, and the Judge advocate gener al of the army has been asked to solve the question. "The case Is unique in the annals of the army. If Early were a drunk ard or in a no or a minor he could have a guardian for his estate ap pointed, but he Is none of these. It has been suggested that he be placed In a house In the vicinity of a soldiers' home so that he might technically be considered an inmate of that institu tion. The officials of the home could then sign and execute the vouchers and the money be paid over to his wife." GENTRYBROS i 5ver $4,000,000 Left to Colleges and Charitable Institutions. OSWEGO. X.

Ridding Roads of Storm and Under ground Water Thoughtful Paper 8ent Out by United States Office of Public Roads. With an average of 27,000 tons of water falling in the form of rain oo each mile of public road In the United States annual), It Is scarcely to be marvelled at that the ten command ments of tho road builder can be sum med up succinctly In the word "drain age." The saying has truth for a basis, as good drainage la the primary re quisite for all roads. Even !n sand roads this holds true, for there "good drainage" means such as will safely remove the storm water without erosion or gullying and still retain (he surface moisture. . To secure good drainage one must take Into consideration both the sur face water and the underground water. The surface water must be removed quickly and completely and without subjecting the road to ex cessive scour or erosion, For this rea son, the center of the road should be raised and the slope towards the side ditches should be from one-half to one Inch td each foot'dlstance, or so that the water woll run freely to tho side ditches and not flow down the road or remains In puddles on the roadway. The side ditches should be of ample size to care for the severest storms with a fall of not less than six inches to each 100 feet. Frequent and ample cross drains should be constructed and every opportunity taken to get the water away from the road as quickly as possible. Any road along which you see water standing In the side ditches or on which pud dles of water have collected or which has been badly gullied and eroded by the rains has poor drainage and Is In need of immediate attention. In fact earth roads nearly, always require a little attention after each rain. Thi split-log drag is essentially a tool to maintain good drainage on our earth roads, and should be used after each rain. On a heavy clay or gumbo soil the drag when properly used tends to puddle the. road farsuee, keep it free from ruts, dense, smooth and bard, thus securing the best surface drain age possible. But In many places the under ground water Is too near the surface and must be removed before a good road will be possible. - This means that some form of sub-drainage must be resorted to, usually (he drains, of clay or concrete. Water from what ever source must be gotten rid of ef fectively, for water plus clay or gum- go Invariably equals mud when mixed In spring and summer. Water be comes ice in winter and as water in freezing expands one-eighth Its volume, the road heaves out of shape and when the Ice melts the road dis appears beneath the rising tide of mud constantly fed by rains, melting snows and underground springs. In seepy and boggy places the sub- drainage In order to be fully effec tive should lower the water level to not less than three feet below the road surface. If tiles are used they should be carefully laid, true to grade. Most failures In tile drainage can be attributed to carelessness In laying, or too flat grade. Tile less than four Inches in diameter should rarely 'be used, nor should a grade of less than six inches to the 100 feet be used unless ansoiutely necessary. . In a very dense soil It Is always advisable to cover the title to at. least a depth of six to twelve inches with coarse sand or fine gravel. Care should always be taken to secure a free out let for the drains and to protect the outlet with a concrete bulk-head or catch-basin, which can always be kept clean and the outlet free. The kind of tile to be used deepnds on local conditions. Concrete tile if properly made are equally as good as clap tile. W'hlch kind to use entirely a local question of dollars and cents. If concrete tile can be made more cheaply than clay tile can be had, use concrete; If not, use clay tile.' One great advantage of the concrete tile Is that they can be easily made by the local users at or near the place where they are to be placed, so that the freight charges are dispensed with as well as the large breakage losses due to handling. Placed In the ground both are durable. If concrete ts used, great care should be taken to see that a good grade of Portland cement Is selected, and that the drains are properly constructed. The Impres sion, which prevails to some extent, that tile disintegrates Is erroneous. A bulletin is now In course of pre paration by the United States office of public roads telling how to make concrete, drains. This bulletin will treat the subject fully, explaining carefully every point that may arise In making drain pipes and culverts.
