WHAT IS REING DOME FOR THE IM
PROVEMENT OF HIGHWAYS.
Ten Sinlea Have Road Exhibit* at
the Purls Inhibition-Work of the
Nnllonnl (iovernment-EiporlHieiitK
With the I i ii.l. oin.-t tr.
The good road question is today the
lubjeci of .1 vast agitation, begun first
by wheelmen, taken up by the govern
ment ami now a matter of legislative
consideration the country over As a
result, ten states have exhibits' at the
present universal exposition in Paris
Illustrating how perfect roads ought to
be built This from a country that tfill
ha* to part, the worst roads in'the
world is rather daring, but it Is also an
Indication of what Is being done. The
ten states In question know what they
are talking about. They had the worst
roads, and now they have (oFi at leagt
they are constructing) the best The
first among these is Massachusetts
the second. \Vw Jersey.
It will be a matter of news to many
to learn that the United States goveni
"""' l"is gone into the road qui-stiun
m the most energetic and thor
ough manner Imaginable, and having
through the department of agriculture'
studied what constitutes a good road
and why good roads are needed, has
gone to work to spread the information
and leach the people, it has experi
ment stations in every state in the
Union, where lessons in roadmakinz
are taught Hundreds of pamphlets
showing just how a good road is con
structed and how it may be preserved
have been published by the govern
ment and may be had for the asking.
Object lessons in road building are
given annually in every state in the
Union, when in some worst sections a
quarter or half or even a mile of ex
cellent roadway is constructed, and
the people shown how and why it
ought to be done. These object les
sons, begun in 1894, have done more
than anything else to start the great
movement which is now furthering the
construction of perfect roads the land
over.
The government in these exhibitions
ordinarily constructs three specimen
roads a modern macadam, a sand and
an ordinary dirt road. When these
roads arc completed, a heavy farm
wagon, loaded with produce, is drawn
over each of them, and the amount of
force required to haul it is determined
bj the use of a trackometer. This in
strument is so constructed as to accu
rately register every pound the horses
pull at every stage of the haul in plain
view of those in its vicinity. It is
made clear by these experiments that
a learn harnessed in the ordinary way
is subject, under the best conditions,
to a continuous jerkin,:; motion, which
must, on even the smoothest country
road, greatly Increase its fatigue. On
a dirt road in had condition this jerk-
Ing becomes a succession of heavy
blows transmitted to the team by
means of the collar. They are cruelly
painful, bruising the shoulders, harass-
Ing and torturing the animals, con
stantly lessening their value as well
as directly decreasing the amount of
the load that it is possible to haul.
During one of these experiments a
team of small mules readily drew 12
bales of cotton on a heavy Studebaker
wagon up a 1<» per cent grade of the
macadam road, the trackometer Indi
cating a pull of 1,000 pounds. The
same team was stalled completely in
going down a 0 per cent grade of the
sand road after pulling the indicator to
1,900 pounds. Nine bales of cotton
were removed before the load could be
again put in motion. The driver re
fused to venture at all upon the dirt
road with the 12 bale load.
In addition to this lesson, there are
many others regularly administered.
Thus the government has photographs
taken showing the exact process of
proper mad building, which it exhibits
at lairs, expositions and meetings of
all kinds where good roads can be
properly talked over. Indeed, the agri
cultural department is a great believer
in photographs, and no opportunity is
lost to Hash a convincing picture be
fore the eyes of the unbeliever. The
picture of a road before and after it
has been improved is one of the most
common kind. That of a horse unable
to pull even a light load on a bad road,
yet drawing a heavy one on a good
road, is also common. Thus the great
work is furthered.
Another part of this government
movement, says a writer in Pearson's
Magazine, is that of advocating the
building of steel track wagon roads,
which is an entirely uew scheme, but
which has proved a wonderful high
way idea. Briefly, it is a system of
laying wide steel rails upon ordinary
highways. The road thus laid consists
of two parallel lines of steel plates or
rails, eight inches wide, laid at a suffi
cient distance apart to receive the
wheels of vehicles of standard gauge.
These plates, or tracks, have a slightly
npward projecting flange on the inner
edge, so as to prevent the wheels of
ordinary vehicles from easily leaving
the tra.k. At the same time the tlauges,
being only one-half inch high, are not
of a rise sufficient to prevent vehicles
from leaving the track for the purpose
of passing other vehicles whenever the
driver so desires. These steel tracks
are not supported by wooden cross ties
or longitudinal stringers of any kind,
but are made solid in the road by
liangos projecting both downward and
outward, wntch are imbedded in the
concrete of the roadbed.
One of the experiments made by the
government consisted of having a
heavy load of 11 tons drawn by 20
horses over a common road, which lay
alongside the streel track road, and
then having the same load drawn by
one horse On the steel track road. This
load was 22 times the weight of the
animal and was easily moved with
light harness.

An Ocean Hotel.
Some idea of what a big hotel a
transatlantic liner is may be gained
from the following from Ain.slie's Mag
azine: "Everything about the kitchen
of a great steamship is on a most elab
orate scale. The range weighs many
tons; the various soup caldrons are
constructed to hold 20 gallons; loaves
are baked by the hundred, joints roast
ed by the dozen, each in a separate and
specially constructed compartment. To
serve the meals thousands of plates,
pieces of silver, cups and saucers a*d
napkins are required, and the average
breakage in the galley of a big ship
amounts to a barrel of china every day.
"The amount of stores required for a
single voyage by a great liner is com
parable only to the commissariat of an
army. Here are a few figures furnish
ed by the chief steward of one of the
big German ships from the order sheet
for a recent trip: Sixteen tons of fresh
beef, live tons of lamb and veal, 3,500
head of chickens, ducks, geese and
game, four tons of salted meats, 1,000
dozeus eggs, three tons of sugar, 100
barrels of flour, 700 bushels of pota
toes, 2!L> tons of butter, 2,000 quarts of
milk and 500 gallons of ice cream. Of
course this is not an exhaustive list,
but it will serve to give an idea of the
enormous appetite which the store
rooms of the ocean liner must satisfy."
"Fricasseed A'ightmure."
God has given us a capacity to enjoy
food. That is not the principal object
in eating. One goes to a dinner and
after eating all that he really desires
and more than is beneficial thinks he
will add a little of the compounds they
call dessert—the invention of the dcv
il —and becomes uncomfortable and
wretched. Most of the desserts we
have might bo called "fricasseed night
mare" or "escaloped indigestion." Eat
ing becomes idolatry if it becomes un
fitting for higher service. It is a-crime.
to gorge and be uncomfortable or to
induce a headache. I once attended a
dinner at the invitation of a parish
ioner and was asked to accompany a
lady to the table. I did not need to
eat, but I offered to help her to what
ever she desired, and she asked for
chicken salad, remarking, "It always
gives me a wretched headache, but I
am going to have some," and I replied,
"Then you may help yourself, for I
will not."—Address by Dr. Tierson.
When Poor Writing; Is Best.
A popular author whose handwriting
was none of the best used to maintain
that it was a matter of principle with
Urn not to write too well, lie declared
that for the use of printers, good hand
writing was only a snare and a delu
sion, tending to encourage carelessness
and mistakes on their part. The com
positors, he asserted, were compelled
to devote their very best care and at
tention to bad handwriting, with the
result that, when it was deciphered, it
■was so fixed in their minds that it was
impossible for them to set it up in
correctly, lie therefore declared that
the worst handwriting was the best
for the printers.—Truth.

Boer Prisoners.
London, Aug. 4. —The war office has
received a dispatch from Lord Roberts,
dated Pretoria, August 4, which says:
"Commander Oliver has managed to
escape to the hills in the vicinity of
Bethlehem with 1500 men. He has in
formed (Jen. Broee-Hamilton that he
does not consider himself bound by Geu.

Ger. Kundle is now following him.
"The prisoners captured by Gtn. Lan
Hamilton say that only soft nosed bul
lets are now served out to the Boers,
hence the wounds of our men are very
serious. I am presenting thin matter
and protesting to Gen. Botha."
Lord Roberts also telegraphs the war
office that Gen. Hunter reports 3348

Fiddled Into Otfii' .
If history be true, Governor Taylor
of Tennessee is not the only man who
fiddled himself into office. Lossing re
lates that in 1848 he met at Oswego,
N. V., Major Cochran, then nearly SO
years old, a son-in-law of General Phil
ip Schuyler, who told the story of his
election to congress during the admin
istration of the elder Adams. A vessel
was to be launched on one of the lakes
in Interior New York, and people came
from afar to see it. The young folks
gathered there, determined to have a
dance at night. There was a fiddle,
but no fiddler. Young Cochran was
an amateur performer, and his services
were demanded. lie gratified the joy
ous company, and at the supper table
one of the gentlemen remarked, in
commendation of his talents, that he
was "fit for congress." The matter
was talked up, and he was nominated
and elected a representative in con
gress for the district then comprising
the whole of New York west of
Bchenectady. He always claimed to
have "fiddled himself into congress."
It seems that history repeats itself,
