J t T (iovr mmeiital Aid. 1 1 V, General (lovornniont of tlio Uultinl States nhouM aid in building the great highways, ns was contein- plated by the founderH of tho (lovern incnt. In fact, the power given in the Constitution to establish nostofllres nnd jiost roads rnlht Justly bo con strued so ns to Include nil roads need ed for postal service. Hural mail de livery will necessitate thousands of nuch voadd through the country dis tricts. Why should not the General Government aid in building thorn? How could the Government expend money that would do much Rood to the people of this nation? Good roads would make the country more attrac tive, nnd would tend to relieve the congestion of population in the cities. The greatest drawback to country life Is the inability to move with ease from point to point, owing to the bad condition of the highways. Why can not the Government make appropria tions for the highways on land as well ns. the highways on water? But few go over the latter, while millions go over the former. Congress votes subsidies to railroads, steamships and for mapping tho seas of commerce. This Is a very necessary and Impor tant work, but not more Important than making the highways on land. We all know how anxious Congress- The economic vnluo ef pood rosfla can hardly be oTerMatcd. The eip'tr Hence in Mnnsridium'ttfl. New Jersey and New York fhows that where hard roads have been built tho Incomes from the farms have largely Increased and expenditures have corresponding ly diminished. Ninety-nine per cent, of nil farm pro duce moved by the rnllwny, express nnd steamship companies 9 flrtit hauled In wagons. The secretary of the Farmers' National Congress esti mates the annual waste In haulage to bad roads In this country Is equal to $10 for every man, woman nnd child la It. Every farmer knows that there Is nothing more destructive to tranquil ity of mind, nothing that more effec tively banishes smiles nnd nothing more conducive to gray hairs than to sit on a loaded wagon and see a team struggling through mud and ruts while the wagon tongue swings viciously from side to side. The TarriblaTurk Quit Carpenter. The Sultan, when a prince, learned carpentering and becunic an expert car penter himslf, and has always contin ued to take a great interest in it. One of his first acts when sovereign was to establish a complete joiner' factory at Yildiz. in which he superintends the n.ii ufacture of all sorts of articles of, furniture, mostly of his own design. These are worked by very elaborate secret springs, in the invention of which c..i1)in takes nreat (klijrht. He has iuKt ent to the Russian embassy a speci- tien of hi work as a present to the Czar. It consists of a table richly in laid, with the Sultan's arms in front, where there are four drawers. By touching a spring the top flies open and the center rises, bearing a silver plate on which is to be found everything ne cessary for smoking, in silver and amber The inside of the top has a medallion, in which is a portrait of the Sultan's son, surrounded by a frame of brilliants.

The Old Ways ind the New of ItrlnRlnf It Here and of Handling It. "The difference between old ways of doing things and new," said a man ac quainted with the marble trade, "Is shown In tho manner of handling Im ported marbles at this port. Formerly nil the various kinds of fine Italian marble received here were brought In sailing ships, most being landed at Corlears Hook, on the East Itlver, just below Grand street. There were in that neighborhood and there are some there still, mills for the sawing nnd wnrklncr of marble. And hither came lighters to get the marble for HALL & RUCKEL. N.w Ye Tsaaasaiaassi .- luirii.iiiiil tiil I !- BIHUU Collie. I-OUlHVtn'. Ky..opeu Ill whole "far Mtidei.iaoanenteraiijtlme.t tiilo lr. mills at various other points about the men are to get an appropriation In the city that could be reached easiest by rivers and harbors bills for trie lm- waier. provoment of some Insignificant stream In their State. How much wiser It would be to vote this appropriation for making some highway between two cities or between two States. Hundreds of millions of dollars have been wasted on streams that can never be made navigable, which If expended on our highways, would give us the best system of roads In the world. Suppose the General Government ehould appropriate every ten years an amount equal to that now expended for pensions, say, $150,000,000, for the building and Improvement of the roads of the country. This would tive. In round numbers, $2 per capita for the entire population Of the United States. This, continued for two gener ations, would grade, macadamize and gravel every great public thorough fare In the country, when aided by lo cal appropriations. Who would begrudge the expendi ture after such roads have been built! Who would not say that the expendi ture was a wise one, elevating in its influences and adding Immensely to the tangible wealth and commerce of the country? We paid more than this tmount In the expenditures of the Spanish war. Is there a single person who would not receive a benefit from good roads far greater than he re ceived from the Spanish war? Put It In another way: Is there a single per son now using the highways of the country, or whose business is In any way affected by the traffic on the highways of the country (and this touches the business Interests of every man and woman In the United States), who would not be willing to pay as much for good roads as he has paid for the war with Spain? Now the bulk of the marble brought here comes by steam, to be discharged at the steamers' landing place, largely In Brooklyn, and little marble comes to Corlears Hook. "This fine, and much of It costly, marble, comes a great deal of It In great blocks, weighing tons apiece. In the old days they used to have at the Hook a great sheers with which the ships were unloaded and all the work of hoisting was done by hand, and to get six or eight of these great blocks out of the 6hlp's hold and set on land was considered a fair day's work. Next steam hoisting appliances were Introduced, and they raised the limit to twenty-five or thirty big blocks a day. Now the marble Is brought over cheaper, sometimes as ballast, and more expeditiously, and It Is handled more expeditiously here, and none of It Is put ashore at all ex cept at or near the point where It Is to be worked. "It Is hoisted with powerful machin ery out of the hold of the steamer In" which it is brought and lowered onto the deck of a floating steam derrick alongside. With its load of blocks aboard this floating derrick starts off to make delivery at the landing places of the various consignees. To Corlears Hook, for instance, where all the mar ble ships used to land, now comes a floating derrick with the big zlocks of marble on its deck. With its own der rick It picks up and swings ashore here the blocks for the mills and is off for the next point of delivery. All quicker and cheaper and more in line v.-lth modern business ways, but the Hook misses the marble shipB all the same." New York Sun.

' With good roads the farmer will come more in contact with other men and take larger and higher views of life; he will become more useful to himself nnd more valuable to the com munity.

They nren to his children the higher schools of the towns and cities. His wife and daughter will have an opportunity to mix in town society, to the benefit of themselves and equally to the benefit of their town-bred sisters. Anti-Rut Crasade Items. Up-to-date roads make up-to-date citizens. Good roads will pay even better than good stock. It is absurd to have licru shire pigs and razor-back roads. There is no part of the nation's business or social life which Is not af fected by the question of good roads. The railways are benefited by hard roads, and It is almost as much to their interest to have them built as it is to the farmers. Farm life must be made more at tentive: the people must have more of the advantages that hitherto have obtained only in town or city life. Good roads make this possible. Distance is no longer measured by the yardstick, but by the clock tick; distance is merely a matter of time in this age of rapid transit Good roads make short miles, bad roads long ones. With bad roads as a barrier to free and easy Intercourse between the city and the farm, the young mind is warped by wrong impressions, the soul narrowed by prejudice and sound, symmetrical education thereby much tendered if not rendered impossible. Why He Got Ten Days. At an army fort near New York there is a near-sighted captain, who is very sensitive about his sight. lie wears glasses of the very thickest make. In his company Is a private who, ex cept for his slovenliness, is one of the best soldiers in the fort. lie is an Irishman, and, like all his country men, quick at reply. His many good qualities have saved him from punish ment, but his tongue got him into trouble the other day. The company's arms and clothes were being Inspected. The captain looked at the private's belt and said, angrily; "Your belts are always dirty. What tho deuce do you mean by It?" "I beg your pardon, sir," was the re ply, "but I think it hard that when I clean my things with the naked eye they should be Inspected with a mag nifying glass." The private Is now in the guard house for ten days, and his leave to visit the city has been suspended in definitely. New York Times. Bold by the best Shoe dealers everywhere. Insist Pm havU W.

Mass.. boasts of a lake with the longest and most unpro nounceable name of any In the world, but residents and visitors who pass the summer on its shores and islands are quietly suggesting a substitute for the uuwleldly Indian term which for many years has been applied to this body of water. Some of the busi ness men think a change sorely need ed, because the lake resorts suffer financially and other business Inter ests in Webster are creat inconve nienced by the unpronounceable name. It is suggested that the question be discussed at a town meeting. The full name of the lake is Chargoggagogg manchogagoggagungamaug, but the residents have contracted it to Chau-bunagungamaug. tOO rRKl! SCHOLARSHIPS. BOARD AT C OST. Write Quick to OA. -ALA.
