The law operates by counties,- each county to, use its own prisoners, and not,to work them longer than eight hours per^ day. Preference in the road-making must be given to the roads connecting directly with the county seat, and all road« must con- form in width and grade to the pro. lyisionss of the general road law of the &tate.

Moreover, next to Olive Sehreiner, ohanapion of the Boers, the most interesting -woman in South Africa to-day is Mies Alice Rhodes. , Whenever-* he peculiarities of tire ex- preinler are discussed by those who know the Rhodes family, the 1 conver- sation is' sure to turn sooner or later to the eccentric sister*, who is far famed for evincing the same dislike for men that the empire builder shows toward women. Her appearance, too, Is so decidedly masculine as f to attract all eyes. Her face is as tejhl florid as that of the typical English squire, with, a voice to match. Stye usually sits with feet wide apart, and to general lacks those qualities Which to to make up feminine attractiveness, With an active, healthy and pene- trating mind, she directs her affairs with the same success as her brother, who is the only man for \whom she eeeflag to care. An ample fortune ob- riates_the necessity_of making friends, but her impulsive acts of generosity have done this for her. During \tvyo days she ^ directed the whole of the athletic contests on the Scot in a way that proved her execu- tive ability. Sitting at'the point of vantage on the promeiiade deck, with the captain, several officers and a wo- man companion who is always at hei ( side, Miss Rhodes -regutated-the- handi- caps for the running matches, umpired the chicken figlrfe, and was particular- ty_active in the,, tug of war. Twelve husky Cornishmen had succeeded in pulling everything on the ship\ except- ing the crew's expert team. They had aever been beaten. Fifteen hundred passengers crowded to the starboard side to witness this Herculean struggle, for Miss Rhodta was backing the Cornishmen. and of- fered an additional jprize,of nve pounds to the winners, For one whole hour fche tug lasted. Finally the sailors' sea training began to tell, and gradually Inch by inch, they were hauling the Cornwall miners near the fatal line, when Miss Rhodes, sprang to her feet and called out: \My faith, Cornishmen, take ,off your sHoes.

Advice on Buying Bno«n«s. When, buying bananas never chase the long thinr ones unless want fruit which will puekn* your moiith. No matter how well ripeaofl 1hese thin bananas may appear j,o be, tffey will always be found both, sbuc and acrid. This S because tin? fturich which contained them was picked'feo soon. The banana grows fastesf at first in length. * When it tias-jc&icned its fuir development in ijhat direction it suddenly begins to swell, and. In' h few days \will double its girth.

The shelled pecan is extensively used n the manufacture of confectionery* It finds a ready sale in the North and Bast, and is rapidly working into fftyot in the European countries. While this popular nut is found growing in all of' he Southern States and in northern Mexico, it is at its best only in limited portions of the state of'Texas. The Texas pecan is not as large as the ouisiana nut, but it possesses a more delicate flavor and has 4 toore uni- 'oi'mly perfect kernel/ Tlitf S|eyica» pecan is more'plentiful than the Texas nut, and can be placed on the, market for less money, but because of iH very hard shell and insipid flavor, has demand.
