The sign con tains the words, "Experimental Road Construction, Illinois Highway Com­ mission," in large letters. State En­ gineer A. N. Johnson is arranging for an inspection party to view the prac­ tical work of the commission in the near future. The party will include several well known men interested in road construction and they will be taken in automobiles t'o the new road Iteing constructed south of the city. It is expected that Gov. Deneen will be one of the party. The highway commission will soon be ready to sup­ ply orders for crushed stone from the large crusher plant which is nearly completed at Jollet, adjoining the state penitentiary. The plant will be ready for operation in a short time. It Is located near four through railroad lines and shipments can be convent- «ntly handled. A large sign 80 feet long is being erected on the premises of the plant It will be visible to pas­ sengers on the trains passing the plant, and is expected to arouse lntef^ «tst in the work. Hjjrtsran Revisits Springfield. John Spears, whose father was in­ timately associated with Abraham Lincoln and in whose home in Kan­ sas City the Republican party of Mis­ souri was organized, visited Spring­ field. Mr. gpears visited the Lincoln monument, the Lincoln home and ether places of historic interest before bis return to St. Louis, where he makes his home. He claims the dis­ tinction of housing the first meeting In Missouri which resulted in the or­ ganization «f the Republican party in J&at state. . Conference at Urban% Dr. J. A. Egan, secretary, and Dr. Ofcorge T. Palmer, assistant secretary, of the state board of health, held a conference at the University of Illi­ nois With Dr. Edward Barto, director of the state board of survey of Illinois, sad Jacob A. Harmon of Peoria, sani­ tary engineer of the state board of health, regarding the investigation of tlie water supply and sewerage of Il­ linois cities being undertaken jointly by the state board of health and the ftate board of survey. Report of State Charities Board. The state board of charities, in its quarterly bulletin, announces a re­ form in the management of the state asylums tor insane. That portion of the bulletin touching this subject reads: "As the result of its inquiries thus far, the board feels there is a pressing need of a correlation of the energies of the state hospitals for the insane. To this end it is addressing its first attention. No two are alike. In certain matters this may be prop­ er. But in an overwhelming majority of the items of administration stand­ ardization is necessary to elevate the institutions to a high plane of effi­ ciency and economy. The experience of great corporations proves this. The board found the hospitals for the insane topheavy on the custodial side. The superintendents are burdened with business details that prevent them from giving sufficient attention to medical administration. The hos­ pitals are more like great detention boarding houses than places for the modern treatment of hopeful cases and the industrial reeducation of chronic types." The bulletin is signed by Frank Billings, president of the board, and William C. Graves, its sec­ retary. The report begins with a resume of #hat the board has done since its .or­ ganization. That part of the bufteftin reads: "The bodrd of state commis­ sioners of public charities, since its practical organization on April 10 last, has made inspection of every Illinois state hospital for the insane and certain like Institutions in the east. It has investigated cases rang­ ing from minor complaints of Inmates to the birth of illegitimate children and ^suicides and death by violence not eelf-inflicted arising severally in the home insittutions. It has investi­ gated charges against the manage­ ment of the soldiers' orphans' home at Normal, the soldiers' widows' home at Wilmington, and the asylum for feeble-minded children at Lincoln, confidential reports of these inquiries have been taade to his excellency, Hon. Charles S. Deneen, governor of Illi­ nois. The board has inspected the school for the deaf and the school for the blind, both located at Jackson­ ville, and the soldiers' and sa^prs' home at Quincy. It has inspected, and in some cases investigated, 19 orphan­ ages and child saving institutions. It has inspected 62 county almshouses and 52 county jails. It fias audited accounts. The board desires to state formally that it approves the selection of Dr. James L. Greene to be superintendent of the northern hospital for the in­ sane at Elgin, vice Dr. Frank S. Whit­ man, resigned. These new superin­ tendents in their former fields dis­ played a creative and constructive genius that warrants the belief that their services at Kankakee and Elgin will meet the approval of the public. The board also commends the selec­ tion of Dr. O. C. Wilhite to be super­ intendent of the Cook county institu­ tions at Dunning. Ail of these new appointments were made solely on merit The b<?ard desires to call at­ tention to and express its approval of the constructive medical work at the asylum for the incurable Insane, the western hospital for the Insane and the asylum for feeble-minded children. The organization of the present board of commissioners of public charities was completed on July 21 last, when his excellency the governor appoin­ ted Mrsf Clara P. Bourland, of Pe­ oria, to succeed Rev. Father Edward A. Kelly, of Chicago, whose term had expired. Discuss Cattle Phthisis. The Interstate Association of Live Stock Sanitary Boards in annual con­ vention discussed a paper read by Dr. D. F. Luckey, of Columbia, Mo., on "Obstacles in the Way of Con­ trolling Tuberculosis in Cattle." The following officers were elected: Pres­ ident, D. F. Luckey, Columbia, Mo., state veterinarian, of Missouri; vice president, D. C. Lamb, Denver, Col., state veterinarian of Colorado; secre­ tary-treasurer, S. H. Ward, Minneap­ olis, Minn., state veterinarian of Min­ nesota. The next meeting will be held next year at Jamestown, Va. HOPE'S STRONG COMMON SENSE. Pontiff Refuosrf to Be Made an Invalid by a Pen Prick. > The following story is told at Plus X. by the Rome correspondent of the London Pall Mall Gazette: The^other day he was writing at his desk, when his pen began to splutter. He decided to change it but it stuck, and it was only after a strong pull that it came out, promptly pricking him under his nail, for which probably he would have followed the natural impulse to put it in his mouth, and we would have heard nothing more of the incident had thfcre not been an ink- stain also. His exclamation brought his secretary, who washed away the blood with disinfectants, to obvjftte microbes, and bound it up, at the same time suggesting a doctor's visit "No, no," said the pontiff laughing "it would be known to the press at once; I should be killed and buried by them before he could arrive!" Those surrouwding him would have liked to make the slight mishap an excuse for stopping the audiences, but Pius X. was somewhat annoyed at the sugges­ tion, saying, '^Enough, enough! What is a pen-prick* You make me ridlc- UIOUB. I have not ceased to be a man and become a baby!" So he was present at the ceremony In commemo ration of his, predecessor, .making Jokes about his bandaged finger. GOOD COLORS FOR HOUSE8. It is not generally known--not even among painters--why certain tints and colors wear much better than others on houses, and the knowledge of just what tints are best to use Is, therefore, rather hazy. 1 One writer on paint. In a recent book, says that experiments seem to show that those colors which resist or turn back the heat rays of the sun, will protect a house better than those which allow these rays to pass through the film. Thus red is a good oolor because it turns back, or reflects, the red rays, and the red rayB are the hot rays. In general, therefore, the warm tones are good and the cold tones are poor, so far as wear is concerned. In choosing the color of paint for your house, select reds, brpwns, grays and olives which, considering the va­ rious tones these tints will produce, will give a wide range from which to choose. Avoid the harsh tints, such as cold yellows (like lemon), cold greens (like grass green, etc.), and the blues. It must be understood that no vir­ tue is claimed for tints in themselves, irrespective of the materials used In the paint. Any coldr will fade, and rhe paint will scale off, if adulterated white lead or canned paint is used, but if one is careful to use the best white lead--some well-known brand of a reliable manufacturer--and gen- nine linseed oil, the warm tints men tfoned above will outwear the same materials tinted with the cold colors. QOULD NOT KEEP UP. Broken Down, Like Many Another Woman, frith Exhausting Kid­ ney Troubles. Mrs. A. Taylor, of Wharton, N. J., says: "I had kidney trouble in its most painful and severe form, and the torture I went t-through aow seems to have been al­most unbearable. I had back-ache, pains in the side and loins, dizzy spells and hot, feverish h e a d a c h e s . T h e r e were bearing-down pains, and the kid­n e y s e c r e t i o n s passed too frequently, and with a burning sensation. They showed sed­ iment. I became discouraged, weak, languid and depressed, so, sick and weak that I could not keep up. As doctors did not cure me I decided to try Doan's Kidney Pills, and with such success that my troubles were all gone after using eight boxes, ahd my strength,? ambition and general health is fine."

Aa eccentric m&nber of the British parliament who died recently endeav­ ored vainly during a quarter of a cen­ tury to get passed into law a bill for preventing persons from standing out* side windows while cleaning them. During his last session the old fellow complained to a colleague that his ob­ ject in introducing the bill had been quite misunderstood by the house for these 25 years. "I Introduced the bill," said he, "not for the sake of the window cleaners, but for the sake of the people below, on whom they might fall. The idea of the bill was suggest­ ed to me by the fear that a window cleaner might fall on myself." , Another Dig at Powers. A few days ago Gov. Cobb, of Maine, and Hon. W. R, Pattangall, prominent in politics in the same state, were together on a train. Mr. Pattangall is a lawyer and an editor, the writer of the humorous "Meddy hemps Letters" appearing in his pa per, the Machias Union. In the course of conversation, Gov. Cobb remarked to Mr. Pattangall: "J don't see why you and Llwellyn Pow ers should be so extremely antag onistic to each other. Neither of you ever fails to give the other, a rap when there is opportunity." At this point an interested listener in the car leaned toward their chairs and asked: "Is it really true that ex Gov. Powers is of Indian descent?" "Well, the Indians deny it," Mr. Pattangall answered, in his inimitable manner. Little Lead Ore Mined in State. A small amount of*lead ore is mined In northwestern Illinois, and a little of it is reduced in a local furnace near Galena. The bulk of the lead smelted in the state, however, comes from Alton, where the Federal Lead com­ pany has a large modern plant. It is run mainly on ones from Missouri, particularly the southeastern part of the state. Since there is only the one producer it is impracticable to give the output for Illinois separately. Predict Car Shortage. Coal operators predict that a car shortage Is certain to result,' owing to the immense grain crops. They say the railroads will press into serv­ ice every car that can be procured to haul grain and that when the retail coal dealer wants coal he will be un­ able to get it. The coal business is on the upward trend now. The pro­ duction in Illinois and Indiana is be­ ing restricted more nearly to the actual demand and the market Is be­ ing cleared of demurrage coal. Tanner Bust Is Accepted. The plaster cast bust of the late Gov. Tanner, made by Sculptor Mull­ en, of Chicago, will be accepted by Chinese Ingenuity. Many attempts have been made to find an unfailing supply of pearls. The Chinese, it is said, have solved in their own way the problem of how to make a mussel "lay" pearls. Five or six small beads, made of mother-of pearl and strung together by a thread, are dropped at the proper season into the open mouth of tne shell. Two years later ths mussel, when recov- eredfi is made to disgorge the beads, now covered with a pearly crust, in­ distinguishable from the .aaturally made pearl.

A singular maple tree on the left bank of the Oder, in Germany, is at least a century old, and has been twisted and cut into a kind of circular house of two stories.

Above this is a smaller sec­ ond floor, similarly formed, and the ends of the branches have been woven into solid walls, In which eight windows on each story have been out. Mrs. John A.

A Minister Talks About Grape-Nuts. "My first stomach trouble began back in 1895," writes a minister in Nebr., "resulting from hasty eating and eating too much. I found no re­ lief from medicine and grew so bad that all food gave me great distress. "It was that sore, gnawing, hungry feeling in my stomach that was SO distressing and I became a sick man. Grape-Nuts was recommended as a food that could be easily digested. "Leaving the old diet that had given me so much trouble, I began to eat Grape-Nuts with a little cream and sugar. The change effected in 24 hours was* truly remarkable, and in a few weeks I was back to health again. "My work as ^ minister calls mo away from home a great deal, and re­ cently I drifted back to fat meat and indigestible foods, which put me again on the sick list " "So I went back to Grape-Nuts and cream and in four days I was put right again. The old dull headaches are gone, stomach comfortable, head clear, and it is a delight to pursue my studies and work. "Grape-Nuts food is worth more than money to me, and I hope this may induce some sufferer to follow the same course I have." Name given by Postum Co., Battle Creek, Mich. "There's a reason." How Emperor William Is Battling Against a Dangerous Heredity. Emperor William's father died of cancer of the throat. Emperor William himself had infantile paralysis, and has had to struggle with many infirmities. It has been whispered that he himself is troubled with the same malady which carried off his father. Royal blood is un­ fortunately most general] v deteriorated blood. Emperor William lcnows this as well as anybody, and is doing his best to eradicate the bad blood from himself and his family by the adoption of simple life principles. Through the visit of a countryman of his to llattle Creek, Michigan, while in this country, visiting the \\ orld's Fair in Chicago in 1893, Emperor William became acquainted with the Battle Creek idea of simple living and has to a large extent adopted the methods in his family. His wife and children live the simple life and take Battle Creek light baths. Their iincle, King Edward, also has these baths installed in his Windsor and Buckingham Palaces for the use of himself and Queen Alexandra. Among other things GOOD HEALTH, the oldest, health journal in the world, tells about the Battle Creek idea and the simple life. Every number is brimful of up-to-date ideas.

That Is true of the wbale and em­ phatically so of the" horse. The best authorities hold that in bulk and weight the largest whales now In ex­ istence are larger than any of the long-named monsters that abounded In the early ages of the earth. Striking Advice. Mrs. Anxious (mother of two mar­ riageable daughters)--Really, I don't know whether to send Grace and Eth­ el to the seashore or the mountains this summer. What do you advise? Mrs. Knowing--Well, I would advise Sulphur Springs for a change. Sul­ phur, you know, Is one of the prinol> pal requisites In matchmaking. "A Remarkable Trip." Would yon uke to take a trip through the mountains by steamer? It sounds peculiar, does it not? Of course you have often read of travers­ ing streams through mountains by means of a birch-bark canoe, or prob­ ably by a flat-bottomed boat of very limited dimensions. But to take a trip through the mountains in a big, eomfortable, up-to-date steamer is ^an entirely different proposition. If you have a desire for such a trip It Is not necessary for you to go far­ ther than the Province of Quebec, for within that province is the River Saguenay, running through the Lau- rentian Mountains, and navigated by the fine, large steamers of the Riche­ lieu & Ontario Navigation Company. It Is now believed that this river was formed by a cleft in the Lauren- tian Mountains, caused probably by a gigantic earthquake. It certainly must have been all that could be de­ sired in the way of earthquakes, for the Saguenay River is so deep that in. many places it is Impossible to find bottom. Nature must have been in a very fanciful mood when she created the Saguenay, for this magnificent river embraces all the scenic gran­ deur for which one could possibly -wish.

Considered the Proprieties. A man in Dallas county tried to shuffle off this mortal coil by hanging himself with a blind bridle. His wife found him suspended from, a rafter in the barn. He was wroth at her in­ terposition, saying: "If you had let me alone a few minutes more I would have been in heaven." His wife re­ plied: "Yes, and you would have look­ ed nice running around over heaven with a blind bridle on, wouldn't you?" --Thockmorton (Tex.) Times. Heavy Movement of iron Ore. The movement of Lake Superior iron ore during the month of June was the heaviest during the history of the trade. Nearly 5,500,000 tons were for­ warded to the lower lakes--a gain of almost 500,000 tons over the corre= sponding period last year. The total movement this season up to the 1st of July aggregated 11,241,596 tons, compared with 10,814,054 tons for the same period last year. , r..

One of the most exa'ptioual of the remedies of known quality and excellence is the ever pleasant Syrup of Figs, manufactured by the California - Fig Synip Co., which represents the active principles of plants, known to act most beneficially, in a pleasant syrup, in which the wholesome Californian blue figs are used to con­ tribute their rich, yet delicate, fruity flavor. It is the remedy of all remedies to sweeten and refresh and cleanse the system gently and naturally, and to assist one in overcoming consti­ pation and the many ills resulting therefrom. Its active princi­ ples and quality are known to physicians generally, and the remedy has therefore met with their approval, as well as with the favor of many millions of well informed persons who know of their own personal knowledge and from actual experience that it is a most excellent laxative remedy. We do not claim that it will cure all manner of ills, but recommend it for what it really represents, a laxative remedy of known quality and excellence, containing nothing of an objectionable or injurious character. There are two classes of purchasers; those who are informed as to the quality of what they buy and-the reasons for the excellence of articles of exceptional merit, and who do not lack courage to go elsewhere when a dealer offers an imitation of any well known article; but, unfortunately, there are some people who do not know, and who allow themselves to be imposed upon. They cannot expect its beneficial effects if they do not get the genuine remedy. To the credit of the druggists of the United States be it said that nearly all of them value their reputation for professional integrity and the good will of their customers too highly to offer imitations of the Genuine--Syrup of Figs manufactured by the California Fig Syrup Co., and in order to buy the genuine article and to get its beneficial eflects, one has only to note, when purchasing, the full name of the Company- California Fig Syrup Co.--plainly printed on the front of every package.
