, replied from the pencil in Louise, lifting ber eye vol ante the was reading, bund. "What are yoa doing now. derT "Evading up for my essay. My title this week k, Beginnings of Literary Women. Lot that tplendidf Mr. Ray tokl If Im Green that he thought I wa on of them myself. He tald my story In the. Independent showed large promise. "Want yoa to make biscuits for sapper, and help with the mending." But, mother, I really harent time. I hare no tast for honsekeep ing; literary women do not hare, as rale. Too know Harriet Mar tineaus brother told her to pat ap her sewing, and write: other women eoald sew. The next evening Louise settled herself in the "study corner" of the sitting-room, with her books and pa pers about her. Charlie had tooth' aohe and was nursing bis laee ott the register; Clara was pauling her self mending a rent in her dress; her mother was washing the supper- dishes in the kitchen. "Louise," said her father, from the lounge, where he had stretched him self with a headache, "put away your 'Beginnings' and come here awhile. I want to tell you about a few literary women." "Oh, thank you!" exclaimed Louise, delightedly. 'I stayed two hours at the library after school and couldn't find what I wanted." "I fear I shall not tell you just what you want." he said, with a twinkle iu his eye, as she nestled down on the rug before the lounge. "I have been 'reading up' literary women to tinil out if they ever did like to make biscuits and men stockings." "1 don't believe they ever did, pa- &; the tastes conflict, you see. It isn't only lack of time," began the literary school-girl, decidedly. "Well, we will see. You admire Miss Alcott; she did literary work sufficiently well to satisify any as piring school-girl; she was so fond of sewing at twelve that she setup for a doll's dressmaker, and put up a beautiful bressed doll for a model in her window. In pinching times at home she was brave enough to go out to serviee for two months." Louise exclaimed: ''Out to service!" "Harriet Martineau, who was the womanstatesman. in her political economy series and her huudreds of letters in the London Times, states that as she grew up she made all her clothing excepting 'stays and shoes" she plaited straw bonnets and knitt ed stockings; she said she was saved from being a literary lady who could not sew, and when in the height of her fame she was admired for not be ing helpless in regard to house-work. She explained that she could make puddings and iron and mend and, if need be, support herself by her needle, as it was once necessary for several months; and sometimes she felt herself a good housewife spoil ed." "George Eliot was a good house keeper, and what could not Harriet Beecher 8 to we do in a kitchen? In her 'Memoirs' is a comical account of a magazine story written at her dic tation while she was teaching an in efficient servant to do the week's baking. Maria Edgeworth's ever busy fingers accomplished many a piece of fine needle-word; she liked ,ot to be idle while conversation was going on." "As I am this minute," laughed Louise, picking at the fringe with nervous fingers. Her mother must have told her father that she refused to make the beds before school this morning, and had left her last week's mending for her to do. "Ob, dear!" she sighed, with a heated face. "I will read you something Mary Hewitt writes." He took the book from under the lounge-pillow and sat upright: " 'No more counting of threads and three hundred and sixty-eight stiches to the inch for me.' And here's an extract from a letter: It is very long since I wrote to thee. It is quite astonishing, and yet when I consider the vast quantity of neeedlework 1 have had to do, it is not bo very astonishing, after all. Helping to do the upholstery-work has quite filled up my time. When I began to look at our several ward robes, the mending and making had acumulated to such a degree that I was like a hard-working seamstress from morning till night.'" Dropping the book, her father fell back on the lounge-pillow. "You love Lucy Larcom's poems. She often did her own washing and ironing while she wan teaching at fourteen dollars a month. Mary Lamb wrote to a friend about some cooking she was doing, and she wrote an article on needlework, of which she must have had special knowledge. You would not care for any higher appre ciation than to be sp oken of by Ten nyson as next to Shakespeare and Jane Austin, the woman rated so high, could do such excellent needle work that she almost put a sewing machine to shame," "Dont, papa," laughed Louise, with eyes brimful of tears, "don't make me feel like that sewing machine." he sprang op and went; not to her "study corner," but to the kitchen table. . "Mama, I've learned about the real 'Beginnings.' I don't want to be sham literary woman. Bat," with sigh;" I don't love housekeeping." "You will, tf yoa keep on," said her mother, comfortingly, "A wom anly woman is better than any oth er kind of a woman." I haren't time, mother. ROAD MAINTENANCE. ETERNAL VIGILANCE AN IMPORTANT FACTOR IN IMPROVING HIGHWAYS. Cai i How mt tk too ekJaeo-WaYOve) Ska la H!faL The late J. Q. Banford. state highway com ml tooer of Vermont, waa ias lat ent on the maintenance of the road, art Good Roads Msgs sine, and In one of his last circulars to the local com- mhnkwers he tald: The great roadmaster John L. Mac adam said, "a good road to an artifi cial floor, forming a strong, smooth, solid surface, capable of carrying jrrvat weight and vrer which carr jes may pass without Impediment" In build ing roads we atrive to approximate thla Ideal. high authority on road matters re cently said. The time to begin road repair la the day the road la finished.'' If good roads are maintained there must be eternal vigilance. Keeping tverlastlngr at It to the only way. Bonds deteriorate constantly and some times rapidly when left alone. It la neglecting the roads that caoeee most of the trouble. Bow seldom do we see any one upon the roads doing small work to prevent greater! We should get away from the obi no tion, rather habit, of working the roads once a year. We have repeatedly rec ommended that road commissioners ap point men la various parts of the town, each to care for a section of road and doing the alight work which, tf done at the right time, saves the road and keeps It good. The proposition has been misunderstood, some taking It to mean that each appointed man was to maintain and work his section of road In bis own way. Not so. The road commissioner to the man of authority throughout the town, and he should di rect road affairs In every part of the town at all times. As be cannot be everywhere present, be should exercise bis will through others who will do bis bidding for the pay and encouragement they receive. Too much dependence to placed upon the road machine In m'"tM"g the old worn out roads. Often there Is more Injury man benefit resulting from its use, and there to Increasing com plaint from the public over the poor re turns for the expense. Roads are be coming narrow, the shoulders destroy ed, depressions made where water stands to fester and destroy. A good deal to done with the machine that is harmful Its best nee Is on the good roads to keep them good. They should frequently be lightly dressed over, al ways when the road to wet It ssves a lot of good material that la working down into the ditches; it fills the ruts and depressions and keeps the road In good form. The best time for shaping earth roads with a machine is in the spring, while the ground Is plastic and easily worked. As a rule, when the earth has become settled, bard and firm the roads should not be broken up. It requires great force to do this In mid summer, and when broken up they will not be so well settled again that year. the broken surface being dust or mud, according to the weather. The law requiring road commission ers to remove loose stones from the road once a month to wrong. No road should be neglected for a month. The loose stones are a nuisance and should be removed as often as they appear. Tight stones that project above the road surface should be broken down to the even surface with heavy hammers. Mudholes are too common, and there Is no excuse for their being. They come by growth, which should be pre vented. Sand roads are benefited by shade to conserve moisture nnd keep the road from drying out. Roads of other material need sunlight and air to dry the surface quickly. The borders of a road should be kept well trimmed, snd In doing this cteanKness and road side beauty should be regarded. There Is value In our roadside attractions, and beauty costs nothing. A little care snd arrangement In what we do will give pleasure to all who pass that way. Since the rural people are cultivating more of the aesthetic side of life and others of culture, refinement and wealth are establishing their homes In Vermont, road officials should at least preserve the natural attractions and beauty of the roadsides. K ! Ka4a (too. A special telegram from Trenton, N. J., to the St Loots 6 lobe-Democrat says: The plan announced by State Road Commissioner Hutchinson when be took office that no further state aid In road building would be extended to those counties which neglected to keep their roads In repair has been produc tive of gratifying results. The com missioner says the plan works like a charm. More money to now being ap propriated by the counties for road re pairing than for building new ones. Monmouth bas appropriated 143,000 for the year, Burlington about the same amount Essex $00,000. Passaic $90,000, and so on. Commissioner Hutchinson regards this as the complete solution of a problem which has for years dis turbed the minds of all Interested in road Improvement Im Tax la Iowa. Iowa has 100,000 miles of country roads built on a soli of exceptional fertility and exceptionally deficient In material for hard road. Iowa raise $265,000,000 In farm products, each dollar' worth of which must be trans ported on an average of several mile to the railroad. If It now costs one half cent on dollar to do this hauling, and that coat can be reduced to one fourth cent by Improved road, the farmer of Iowa are paying an annual bad road tax of $0&X600. They are com tag to appreciate that this Is a poor Investment A awfalCesrk Cares'. "Two year ago our little girl had a touch of pneumonia, whicn left ber with an awful cough.

London, Oct 18. -The English speaking world haa suffered an irre parable loss by the sadden death to night of Sir Henry Irving, who was universally regarded as the most rep resentative English actor of contem porary times. Sir Henry died literally in harness. He wat giving a series of farewell per formances in the English province, and this week was playing an engagement at Bradford, appearing in several favorite roles. Thursday he presented "King Rene's Daugh ter" and "The Bells" and seemed to be in excellent health, taking the ex hausting part of Matthias In the lat ter play with all the vigor of youth. Tonight before an enthusiastic au dience, he portrayed one of his most characteristically intellectual parts, the title role in his own stage adap tion of Lord Tennyson's "Becket," with marked success. After the performance Sir Henry returned to hls hotel, reaching his rooms at 11.30 o'clock, when it was observed that he was in great pain. Physicians were immediately sum moned, but before they could arrive Sir Heury was seized with an attack of sycope and expired within a few minutes, without having uttered a word, iu the presence of Brain Stoker, who had been his immediate mana ger for many years, and a few other intimate friends. The event caused the greatest pain and consternation among the members of the company. $100 Reward, $100.
