(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.

IMPORTED MARBLE.
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

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.

Benefits to the Farmer.
' 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. His interest will go beyond
the division fence that separates him
from his neighbor. lie will' read more
and become better informed. 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.

Lake With a Jaw-Breaklnsr Name.
Webster. 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.
