A SCHOOL GIRL'S DRESS. fBOUlD NOT THINK TOO MUCH ABOUT THIS VEXATIOUS HATTER. Schoolgirls Too Young and Too Pretty to Bequire Much Ornament in Their Dress--Don't Worry About Your Figure If Your Drees Is Com- £ortable--Health Is the CtrcatBean- tiiler. BY MARGARET E. SANGSTER. "" *•; "Jessie has reached the age when llhe fusses and fidgets about her * j§ress, looks at herself in the glass, ' Worries because her cloak or her hat #r her jacket or something else, is year's style, and altogether be- tiaveu like a vain and silly girl," ex­ it d Jessie's aunt Marion, who had patience with such frivolous con- 4uct. "If Jessie had been the fourth slighter in & large family," said Mary lizabeth, looking up with a smile. !?she would have learned to be thank- for small favors. Until I had « -«)passed my thirteenth birthday I never '"'.fcnc® went out of the house with a ^>4f»a>tume every bit of which had been made for me. I usually wore Susan's . .last year's frocks and Mildred's last '.-•i jrear's hats, retriinmed and freshened lip, and when I had a jacket it had t>een worn before me by Ethel. Moth­ er always bought good things that rould last and they lasted until sev- children wo»e them out. I was cured of fussiness before so much as * wee leaf of it cropped up in my character. Generally speaking I had new shoes and that was a comfort" Jessie had listened to both speak­ ers with an air of serious attention. "I love pretty things," said she, *and I hate ugly one3. Why shall sis­ ter Louise, who is a young lady, wear • corset that gives her a good figure while I who have no figure at all am obliged to wear a corded waist and button my skirts to it?" By this time I was so stirred up that I was compelled to intrude my Tiews on the girls. "What on earth can you be thinking ®f, Jessie? A school girl's first duty to herself is to wear healthful dress «nd although' corsets are excellent «r.d suitable in their place for grown tip young women, they.are not parts hygienic dress for you. I hope that you'spend a good many hours every day out of doors, and that your director of physical culture superin­ tends your calisthenics and your Ex­ ercises in the gymnasium. The gym is &s much an educational place for you as the Latin class or the recitation room where you study and present any other abstruse subject in the cchool. For daily use a school girl needs well-made loosely fitting blouses and skirts, and the weight of her clothing should hang not from the liips but from the shoulder. "Deep breathing is your great ne­ cessity; your lungs should be filled daily and often with the purest air and your chest have abundant room to expand. As for shoes, you must have common sense lasts broad enough in the sole and low enough in the heel to enable you to walk with ease and grace. A school girl must not wear a tight shoe nor a high heel. You are too young and too pretty to require much ornament in your dress, and there is no sense in your fussing over shirt-waists and simple stocks, hair ribbons and belts. /J- * "Once your wardrobe IS Willed with what is comfortable an4 you have equipped yourself with a golf A Idiu-COat SHU « SNIIOR uttt, /OU ate ready for every occasion." "For receptions and commence­ ments and Sunday evenings at home?" queried Jessie, her dimples playing hide and seek as she archly glanced at me. "I beg your pardon," I answered. "A girl does need one or two dainty frocks for evening wear and they should preferably be white. The simpler they are the more suitable they are sure to be. A great many tucks, puffs, ruffles and lace inser­ tions are misplaced in a girl's dress while she is yet in her teens. There may be, of course, s6me unobtrusive decorations, but not very much is needed for she herself sets oft her gown. I like to think, too, that a girl who is growing up takes a little time now and then to bestow attention on the laundress who has to wash and iron the dainty muslins that are so elaborate and so beautifully finished with lace edges and delicate em­ broideries. "A girl who has once or twice done her own laundry work, washed and ironed a white muslin gown, or a duck skirt, will know by experience that it is far from easy work, and she will be somewhat more careful about fre­ quently sending it to the tub, than her friend who has had no such per­ sonal knowledge of the labor in­ volved." No young girl has £he slightest oc­ casion to worry about her figure if only she has a dress that fits her comfortably, if she stands up straight throwing back her shoulders and hold­ ing up her head. The figure will take care of itself. Health is the great beautifier and sensible dress is for young people its best ally. Fortunately for young girls, there Is no question about the length of their skirts. *or everyday wear frocks that reach the ankle, are comfortable and insure ease in walking, and im­ munity from contact with mud and dirt. For functions such as Jessie re-! ferred to in her naive question about receptions and Sunday evenings, a girl'Sv&est gown while she is in her teens may be instep length. Oirls never wear trailing skirts in these days. An excellent adjunct to clean­ liness, comfort and health is a whisk broom or a clothes-brush scrupulous­ ly used every time a dress is taken off. If we would carefully brusli our clothes and shake them out of an open window before hanging them in clos­ ets or wardrobes, we should rid our­ selves of the danger of germs that may have lurked in outside dust. Girls should be grateful that theii lot is cast in the twentieth century. An eighteenth century girl, or one born in the early nineteenth, wore a short- waisted frock with the skirt beginning under the arm-pits. It was of cling­ ing stuff and swept the floor as shs walked. Her shoes were thin slip­ pers without heels held on by strings crossed over the instep and around the ankles. On her head she often wore a construction of muslin and wire that was half turban and half cap. Her sieeves were short and her dresses half low at the neck, as a rule. Do you not think that you are much better dressed than she was, both for health and beauty? 'Copyright, 1906, by Joseph B. Bowles ) OADA*! WHAT IS A GOOD ROAD? A Discussion by Edward X.

Select the Brush with Care, Consult a Dentist Whenever Certain Symptoms Appear; So many people show little discrim­ ination in the choice of tooth brushes. It is equally wrong to have them too soft or too hard. This ought to be as­ certainable by the touch, and they fhould not be used for any length of lime, but at once discarded. Cheap . ̂ rushes with which the market is now hooded are an abomination, for the frairs are sure to come out and lodge feetween the teeth, causing much dis­ comfort, and, moreover, the bristles are often secured in such a way with Wire that it becomes dislodged, and rckB the gums. Teeth should always closely watched, and if the gums Recede or any decay is perceived, re- •gjourse should be had at once to a #entist, for In dentistry a stitch in time does not save nine but ninety. <hice let decay get any deep hold little can be done, but it is easy to arrest it St the beginning. Parents cannot be too careful in In­ stilling into their children early the necessity of care and attention to the fteeth. It seems quite a weakness in the young to shirk tooth cleaning, and, aaoreover, mothers • should watch the growth of the second teeth, th§t thete is no overcrowding. In early youth many defects can be cured by proper treatment. Teeth that^hre growing far apart can be brought together easily; it would be a far more difficult matter later on when the gums are harder and the teeth have attained their full growth, but care should begin before the first teeth have been exchanged. It Indicates something wrong if they decay, and It is a state of things ,that would be likely to repeat itself. The writer remembers how as a child an old nurse who had been in the same post for two generations took infinite pains to teach her charges exactly how they should clean their teeth. She always said that pastes and liquid dentifrices were all very well in their way, but that powder should be used once a week at least, and that there was a great art in using si proper brush, which should be small and soft, and not too big for the mouth. It should be not only passed from one side to the other, but up and down, and great care taken to clean the back teeth as well as the front; finally it was essential to wash out the mouth with water, to which a few drops of fragrant dentifrice liquid should be added. After the squashes, cucumbers and melons are well started the squash bug makes its appearance. Those who have a garden know the flat, rusty- black creaturc with its vile odor. In spring or early summer the eggs are laid on the leaves and stems of plants, sometimes singly, but usually in groups of from 12 to 50. They are brownish-yellow and easily found. Fortunately the insect confines its at­ tention almost entirely to cucurbi- tacaous plants. As the bugs grow they scatter over the leaves, molting five times before they reach maturity. Naturally tho plant is weakened by such attentions. A leaf that has nourished many bugs will turn yellow, and if the pests are numerous enough the whole plant may be killed. It is sometimes claimed; that the bug stings the leaf and kills" it, but it would be more to the point to say that the leaf Is tapped and its life-blood sucked out. In autumn the adult bug crawls under a board, stone or rubbish and remains till spring. The Nympha may be killed by a spray of kerosene emulsion or tobacco .water, as their bodies are soft and unprotected. But the old bugs are proof against this kind of treatment. Theii hard-shelled backs protect them. The most practicable remedy thus far seems to be hand picking, says the Orange Judd Farmer. It should begin with the first bug and be repeated at short intervals. The best time for it is in the morning while it is cool and the bugs sluggish. A convenient way is to drop the bugs into a can containing water with a little kerosene. The bugs will swim in clear water, buC the film of oil on the surface is sure death. Boards or shingles placed on the ground are an assistance in gathering the bugs. They will seek these shelters in mid-after­ noon and remain dormant till it is warm in the morning, when they can easily be gathered. Crushing the eggs cs the leaves is a preventive measure that should not be neglected. So far as my experience goes, the best way to guard against the bug is to plant the vines among potatoes. It has rarely found them there . I have grown good crops of squashes in this way and found few or none of the in­ sects, though in other places thoy were numerous. The best roads that have ever been built were those constructed by the Rouiaua tea or fifteen centuries ngo, and which are to-day almost perfect examples of what: roads should be. Their roads had a width of 30 feet, and pavements of heavy stone at the bottom, and often one or more layers of stone bedded in cement to make the road waterproof. The two cuts show the best types of ancient Roman road& It has "been argued that such roads would cost too much to build in these days of high wages. To be sure, the initial cost would be enormously greater, but the final cost would, on the other hand, be much less. Some of the Roman roads are 1,600 years old, and are still in fair con­ dition. I will say, for the sake of argument, that a modern macadam road will last 20 years without hav­ ing to be extensively repaired; at the end of that time, however, the road will have to be practically reconstruct­ ed, at least to the extent of half the original cost. So a new road will be built and paid for every 40 yeavs. Therefore in 1,600. years, the age ot some of the Roman roads, we shall have built and paid for 40 poor roads. Evan granted that a mile of Roman road could cost 40 times as much as a mile of our macadam road, which it doesn't, wouldn't the loss of money from obstructed traffic and inconven­ ience be sufficient reason for building roads that would last at least 100 years? The old excuse, that the con­ ditions are so different and our cli­ mate so hard on roads, does not seem to have much weight. The truth Is, we build our roads In such a hurry, and oftentimes with so little judgment on the part of the en­ gineers, that the wonder is, not that HAY DOORS IN BARN. Placing Tracks for Them on an In­ cline Will Facilitate Open­ ing Them. There has been great trouble In find­ ing a suitable method of hanging doors for unloading hay with fork or slings from the outside of building. The GOOD HAT BARN DOOR, method described by my diagram we thiuk the very best. Place your track on an incline with the roof, and put on rollers on the doors at the same in­ cline. They will open very easily, says Rural New Yorker, and 6hut hard, but they can easily be managed from inside. FROM FOREIGN LANDS.

The woman who stands well must learn to hold her shoulders back and level; she must acquire the art of rest­ ing upon the balls of the feet; shs must learn that the chin should be held up and the head a little back; and that the hands should be main­ tained in some easy, conventional atti­ tude. When she has learned these things she can stand well. But to be seated well Is another matter. ; THREE EXQUISITE XL H.\ -OVERS. ' fpune from a long, long distance, wtttes A lady in the Ohio Farmer.

An even stand of three stalks of corn to the hill is desirable and will give better results than more or less. Most farmers take their chances on tbe ,germinability of seed.

Macadam, who was one of the best modern road-builders, constructed his roads on the idea that when any road­ bed is thoroughly underdrained, so as to remain permanently hard, crushed stone alone may be used, the pave­ ment of Roman practice becoming un­ necessary. Please note--thoroughly underdrained, and crushed stone may be used. The point is, how many macadam roadbeds are thoroughly un­ derdrained, so that they remain per­ manently hard? I feel safe In say* ing not one in ten; in fact, the roads built outside of cities and suburbs are not, as a rule, underdrained in any way. In France, which has perhaps the finest roads in the world, the roads are divided into sections, and one or two men are put in charge of a sec­ tion to keep it In perfect repair. They are required to go over the road every day, and in every section there is a toolhouse, with a quantity of stone ready for repair work al­ ways on hand. The result Is the cost of rnaintenance is very low and the roads last for years. Edward K. Parkinson. In commenting upon the above ar­ gument by Mr. Parkinson, the editor of the Country Gentleman says: Mr. Parkinson has broached a sub­ ject that certainly deserves most earnest consideration. If a macadam road becomes rutted and gutted the first winter, it may be questioned whether it is very much better in the long run than the mud-bank it re­ placed--that is, it will shortly revert to a condition about as bad. On tbe other hand, the weight of expert opinion seems at present to be against the attempt to build Ro­ man roads in this country. Not only is the expense excessively great, but such solidity is unnecessary, with or­ dinary care in draining. Thus Mr. W. P. Judson, in his book on roads and pavements, says that the Roman roads "were remarkable fo»r theii strength and durability, and for lit­ tle else. If anyone were so unwise as to attempt to build similar roads now, the cost would be from four to eight times the present cost of our most expensive modern pavements, which are, in every way, better for modern uses, and upon which the cities of the United States are esti­ mated to have. expended half a bil­ lion of dollars." Similarly the late Prof. Shaler de­ clares that the Romans "built with an utter disregard as to the relations of strength and strain." He adds: "In the construction of the Roman road we note a crude perception of the solidity which stone foundations af­ ford, and also, in the cement layer, a recognition of the importance of keeping the road dry; beyond these half-formed conceptions there is, in these structures, no trace of engineer­ ing skill. . . . The sections of the Roman roads indicate that the con­ struction was often three feet or more in thickness even in places where ex­ perience should have quickly told, as it has taught moderns, that six or eight inches of stone would have served the purpose. In a singularly clumsy way they combined layers of different substances, one placed above another, usually with a block pave­ ment on top, in such conditions that no beneficial effect whatever could have been gained from such accumula­ tion. In general these roads, meas­ ured in the cost of labor in this coun­ try, must have cost from $30,000 to $100,000 a mile. It is not too much to say that at least three-fourths ^of the expenditure was really wasted." She was seated in the gloaming, a happy smile on her pretty, pensive face, when her elderly aunt entered. Then, as she looked upon the kind old face, a feeling rushed upon her that she must share her wonderful news with somebody--she must let someone into the secret which till then had een the sole possession of herself and arold. She sprang up and flung hei arms about her aunt's neck. "Oh, auntie," she cried impulsively, "you do love me, don't you? Kiss me, auntie, and tell me you do--kiss me!" But only an alarming gurgle came from the old lady for a moment Then she said, gasping Indignantly: "Kiss you. if you ain't careful I'll shake the life out of you. You very nearly made me swallow my teeth!" TORTURED WITH ECZEMA. Tremendous Itching Over Whole Body --Scratched Until Bled--Wonder- • -• ful Cure by Cuticura. "Last year I suffered with a tremendous itching on my back, which grew worse and worse, until it spread over tne whole body, and only my face and hands were free. For four months or so I suffered torments, and 1 had to scratch, scratch, scratch, until I bled. At night when 1 went to bed things got worse, and I had at times to get up and ecrdftch my body all over, until I was as sore as could be, and until I suffered excruciating pains. They told me that I was suffering from eczema. Then I made up my mind that I would use the Cuticura Remedies. 1 used them ac­ cording to instructions, and very soon in­ deed I was greatly relieved.
