The plant had but one flower. but this was nine inches in diameter, pure waxy white with del- icate lacy anthersinside. The flower was much like a white water lily, but tive times as large. It is one of the rarest and one of the most eph- emeral things in flowers. The bud began:to open-between 8 and 9 o’clock p. m. and at 12 o’clock was in its full beauty, the queen of the floral world and then it began to fade. In the morning it was a drooping mass without form or beauty. Its liiei was but a span of a few hours. Be- tween the hours of 9 and 12 large numbers of tlower lovers called to worship at its shrine.

Many of the old schoolmates. some scattered now. wide and far. will recall many an incident connected with Archie in the days of long ago. Archie McNab passed very suddenly away last Friday morning. He has been in poor health all summer, but went around as usual. On Thursday one of the cows was missing and he went to look for her. Not returning, Mr. McGillivray, with whom he lived, went in search of him and found him lying near the river, conscious, but failingfast. He was conveyed home, medical aid summoned. but he grad- ually sank, and the end came the fol- lowing morning. Paralysis o’f the brain was the cause of his death. Archie was adopted by his aunt and uncle, Mr. and Mrs. D. McNab, in early boyhood. and at their death‘ they left all their property to him, appointing Messrs. Geo. Binnie and Mr. Geo. Firth, his son.

Stops the Cough and Works of the Cold. TRAVERSTON VANDELE UR. The best road for the farmer. all things being considered. is a. solid well-built. stone road, so narrow as to The road that will best suit the needs of the farmer in the first place. must not be too costly; and in the second place, must be of the very best kind. for farmers should be able tn do their heavy hauling over them ] Characteristics of Good Roads j" The aim in making a good road is ’ to establish the easiest. shortest and most economical line of travel. It is therefore desirable that roads should be hard, smooth, comparatively level, or laid out on the ground so that their grades may be such~that loaded vehicles may be drawn over them without great loss of energy; that they should be properly constructed, the ground well drained, the roadbed; graded, shaped and rolled. and that they should be surfaced with the best material procurable ; that they should be pronerly maintained or kept con-l stantly in good repair. “Good roads, like good streets, make habitation along them most de- sirable; they economize time and force in transportation of products, reduce wear and tear on horses, har- ness and vehicles. and enhance the market value of real eState. They raise the value of farm lands and farm products and tend to beautify the country through which they pass; they facilitate rural mail deliver and are a potent aid to education, religion and sociability. Charles Sumner once said, ” The road and the school- master are the two most important! agents in advancing civilization. l Value of Good Roads to Farmers. Bad roads constitute the greatest drawback to rural life, and for the lack of good roads the farmers suffer more than any other class. Some of the benefits that would accrue to farmers through the constitution of good roads are :â€" The Farmer’s Interest in Good Roads. The beef ring Which was started here this spring comes to a close this week but all have been so well pleas- ed with it and the way Mr. Thomp- son has managed affairs that they are going to try to extend it for a while longer. Rev. Mr. Campbell, of Dromore, was visiting along the line on Monday of this week. Mr. J. Eccles has started to build the stone work for Wm. VVilson’s new house. Mr. and Mrs. \Vm. Hunter were visiting friends in Brnlinck Saturday and Sunday of last week. Mr. John Allan purchased anew cop buggy from Mr. D. Campbell, of Durham. Mr. and Mrs. Robt. Morice. of Normauby, were visiting at Mr. Wm. Brown’s Sunday last. Messrs Geo. A. Lawrence and Jae. HOpkins were around and bought up a number of cattle for winter feeding. The report of the shotgun reminds us that the sportsman is once more at liberty to shoulder his gun. whist- le on his longeared dog and be off in search of game, but only to find it especially partridge uncommonly scarce. Mr. J. Wilson, with his steam thresher, is cleaning out the barns in this neighborhood, and is doing good work. Mr. Joe Lawrence was so unfor- tunate as to cut his foot so badly with an axe that it required a few stitches, but is alright again. Mrs. James Whitmore and son, Herbert, were in Toronto during exhibition time. Mr. Wm. \Vright, who has been on an extended visit with friends here, left on Monday for his home in Phil- adelphia.

Realizing the great good that would be accomplished if a similarly equipped train were operated in Can- ada, an effort was made early in 1901 to arrange for work of this sort in the Ottawa district. Chiefly through the exertions of Mr. H. B. Cowan, of this city. secretary of the Good Roads Association of Eastern Ontario, the Sawyer-Massey Company of Hamil- ton, Ont., manufacturers of road- making machinery, were induced to supply free of charge all the neces- sary machinery for such an enter- prise, and also three or {our experts to take charge of and operate the machinery. The Canadian Portland; ,Oement Company of Deseronto, Ont., aided the enterprise by donating; some 150 to 200 barrels of cement {ori the construction of concrete culverts which are much more satisfactmy!’ than wooden ones for drainage pur-; poses. Further assistance was given; to the movement by the Canadian 1' Pacific, Grand Trunk, Canada Atlan-z tic, and Ottawa New York Railway r companies which all agrees to tran- sport the necessary machinery and; experts over their lines without charge. Good Roads Train. The Depart~ ment of Public Road Inquities and the National Gnnd Roads Association of the United States combined their forces a couple of years ago for the purpose of furnishing object lessons on the construction and value of good roads to farmers in a large number of countries. A Good Roads Train was equipped and run between Chi- cago and New Orleans, building short sample tretches of model road, and holding local conventions in various counties along the route. By this means splendid educational work was done in the direction of impressing upon the people the desirability of better roads, and the facility with which they can be constructed. tracks are removed, the initial cost of construction is cut down one-half or more, and the charges for repair reduced in proportion. Where beds of good gravel are available this is the simplest. cheapest and most eflectlve method of improving coun- try roads. With earth alone, how- ever. a very passable road can be made, provided the principles of lo. cation. drainage and shape of surface, together with that of keeping the surface as smooth and firm as possi- ble by rolling. be strictly adhered to. In fact a good earth road is second to none for summer travel. and superi- or to many of the so-called macadam or stone roads. But the earth roads must be covered with some artifical material, if they are to be made firm and unyielding.r at all seasons and in all kinds of Weather, with a surface smooth and iml ervious to water.
