The annual report of the secretary of agriculture leaves no doubt that the department is giving attention to tne improvement of roads in all parts of the country. The department finds that there are in this ccuntry 2,210,857 miles of wag- on roads, of which only & 1-2 per cent, are impreved; but in 1804 only 7.1 per cent. were improved, the increase in the five-year period, 04-1909, be- ing 234,379 miles . The office of public roads, a bureau of the department, has during the past year built at local expense, object-lesson roads in 52 places, for which the sum of $120,000 “as expended. Expert advice on road work has been given in 183 cases, scattered throughout 20 states. The work related not only to road building but to the ecomomic and financial questions related to such work. The agents of the department who have traveled over the country to investi- gate road bullding have given also 723 Jectores in 35 states. These lectures have been attended by 200,000 persons, mostly farmers. The agricultural department has made man> tests of road materials, road binders and dust preventives, and finds that many worthless road prep- arations are being offered to the pub- lic and in may cases sold. The use of oil-mixed cement concrete for roads Pl is looked upon as en important im- provement. CONGRESSMAN HIGGINS.

Often on a fastidiously decked dress. ing table the only article which is u attractive in appearance is the h: brush with a plain wooden beck. Ma; women find that the usual silver back- | ed brush is too soft bristled and habit- uvally use a plain, inexpensive one be- cause it s stiffer. | A 004 way to bring them into har- | mony with the surroundings is to cover | the backs of such brushes with bro- cade or broche silk. Sandpaper the wood so that it will Ioid gum or paste. Have the silk cut the exact slze and shape of the brush's back and paste it on very smoothly. Finish the edge, after the silk is dry with a narrow border of gimp or gal- 1con Flowered sllk to match the other tollet belongings has the prettiest ef- fect. ‘A brush treated in this way makes an attractive gift. Cretonne and small figured chintz may take the place of silk If they are used elsewhere in the Eedroom furnishines. Linen or plain silk with the mono- | gram of the owner embroidered on it may also be used for these covers. The man who invented the free lunch has passed away.

The Bulletin notices that the en- husiastic friends of Sabin Sayles Rus- =il of Windham county in present- iag his name through the press are representing as a probability that Con- gressman Higgins will decline to run again, to strengthen young Mr. Rus- seils chances. The Bulletin is not aware that Mr. Higgins has ever theught of withdrawing. No man ever served the citizens of the o’d Third district more faithfully than has Edwin W.

Ohlo fields yielded 24.000,000 barrels in 1896, but last year reported o $15,370 berrels. The Texas production—2£,000,000 barrels The influence of the glorious color- ings of the east is discernible In this season’s ribbons. The most hizarre shades are seen in close proximity to each other in the stripes and shot taffetas. The sash ribbons as well as those destined for the adornment of dresses are exceptionally wide. A beautiful ribbon with Roman strives was emploved for a fichu_stole which extended to the hem of the skirt. Nearly all the ribbons are reversible. This is a great advantage, as they may be twisted and draped in most artistic A black satin ribbon with a striped gray and white border has a reverse of Lazel nut brown. black and iwhite also dividing honors in the reverse border.

It should not be placed too mear a fire, as the heat draws the wood. Neither should it be near an open window, as on a wet day the damp Is apt to rust the keys and wires and take the polish off the case. keep the piano closed when it js not in use. The kevs should be dusted frequently with an old silk handkerchief and rubbed occasionally with a cloth moistened with methylat- ed spirits.

If the case zets clouded and dull looking, ive it a good polish with a Hittle furniture cream and polish with a chamois leather. In towns it is apt to get smoky. To remove this wipe over with a cloth wrung out of vinegar and water, then polish. Don’t put your plano cloes to the wall, as It deadens the tone. To keep it in perfect order it should be tuned about every three months. Brobdigagian Muffs. Ask any modiste what will form one of the most conspicuous dress notes of the winter and the answer will be the Brobdignagian muff. So huge are the present models that there is talk of a reaction, and it is certainly true inat smaller models have already been scen in the showrooms, but, whatever the size, a muff of some kind must form part of the well garbed woman's tofl- ette. A truly gigantic muff was seen the other day, composed of opossum to match a stole, and the amusing point | about it was the underpocket, in which a tiny griffon pet was carried. Its Iit- tle head peeped out from its cozy quarters in its mistress’ muff, and as both of her arms were buried to the elbows in the depths of this colossal plece of peltry, it may be imagined hat the muff was truly conspicuous. after the tapping of Spindietop—has €ropped 1o less than 9,000,000 in 1810.
