Valens Victrix" was quartercd at Chester where
| all the northwestern roads converged. while
| the Second Augusta" was fixed at Caerleon-
| upon UsK. whore its labors built the splendid
CITY OF tho Legions." the lowered Camelot"
| OF romance.
Besides these regular troops. however largo
| forces OF barbarians were from time to time
sent over to strengthen the garrison of Britain.
After q detailed description OF the Picts'
wall" built by Iadrian. and which stretched
from Tynemou,h 20 tho estuary OF the Solway.
Mr. Elton proceeds to explain tho point OF chief
Importance In the Roman system OF govern
ment viz. the intricate scheme OF roads and
fortresses by which the FREQ aud rapid move
mcnt OF troops was secured. He thinks 1t
doubtful whether tho main Roman roads can
be entirely identified with the four highways so
famous in medieval times under the names OF
Waiting strcot. Fosse way. Rrmin street. and
Ikenild street. Each OF these highways was
probably combination OF such portions OF the
Roman roads rs tho English found it to their
interest to adopt and keep in repair as means
of communication between tho chief towns.
Thus. Waiting street represented the old zszag
route from Kent to Chester and York and north
ward In two branches to Carlisle and tho
neighborhoou of Newcastle. Tho Ermin street
led directly from London to lincoln. with
branch to Doncaster and York, while Ikenild
street curved inland from Norwich to Dun
stable and was carried eventually to the coast
at southampton. The course. however. OF these
English highways had but au incidental con-
nection with the Roman scheme OF defence.
which embraced three great meridional lines.
passing from the upper wall to tho principal
cities in the SOUTH and all connected by trans
verso routes running east and west to the
coasts on either side.
The completion of this system OF intercom-
munication with which nothing in the British
islands could be compared up to tho construc-
ton OF the railway network. cost the British
provinces as much in freedom and importance
ns they seemed to gain in security. After the
establishment Of the Diocletian Constitution in
the latter part Of the third century tho country
became mere department under the court at
Trovcs. one OF several Atlantic regions re-
and a common stock Of resources. 1t was tho
imperial tax gatherer who ruined Britain. as
he ruined Gaui. and there is nothing discredit-
ablo to the RomaniZed Britons in tho fact that
when abandoned by their masters they proved
incapable of self-protccton. The same inca
pacity was observed in every Roman province.
tho power and even tho desire of self-govern-
ment having become extinct. Thus when the
Jutes and Angles invaded britain they found
tho Celtic inhabitants possessed. indeed. OF q
tinc,uro OF civilization. but morally efrote. a
race whose virility was exhausted. NJ. W. II.

Got His Recent,

In the city of Halifax there dwelt a
lawyer, crafty, subtle and cute as a
fox. An Indian of the Miami tribe,
named Simon owed him some money.
The poor reu man brought the money
to his creditor affsr-aitad -ass9eating
the lawyer to write him a receipt.
"What are you waiting for?" said
the lawyer.
Receipt" said the Indian.
"a receipt" exclaimed the lawye2,
what do you know about receip
Tell me the use of one, and will gi e
it to you
The Indian looked at him for a n g.
ment and then said:
"S'pose maybe l die; I'me go sd
heben; me find gate locked! me ST.
Postle Peter. He say, Simon, VIII:
do you want!' Me say, want to ge
in. He say, 'Ye pay Mr.. j. do.
money! What me do; hab no re-
ceipt; hab to hunt all over hell to
find YOU"
He got his receipt.

Bob IngersOlI on Stingy Men.

despise stingy man. 1 don't
see how it is possible for a man to
die worth s5,0OO,OOO or $4,000, 900
in city full of men, when he meets
almost every day the withered hand
of beggary and the white lips of
famine. How man can withstand
all this and hold in the clutch Of his
hands 10000, 900 or 1000, 900 is
past my comprehension. I do not
see how they can do it. l should
think he could not do it any more
than man could keep pile Of lum-
Der when hundreds of thousands were
drowning in the sea. Do you know
that l have known men who would
trust their wives with their hearts
and their homes, but not with their
pocket-books, not with dollar.
When l see man of that kind, al
ways think he knows which is the
most valuable. Think of her asking
you every day or two for a dollar or
two. 'What did you do with that
dollar gave you?" Just think of
having a wife that is afraid of you!
What kind of children do you expect
to have with beggar and q coward
for a mother! Oh! l tell you, if
you have but a dollar in the world,
and have got to spend it, spend it
like a king; spend it as though it
were a dry leaf and you the owner of
an unbounded forest. That's the
way to spend it. l had rather be a
beggar and spend my last dollar like
a king, than king and spend my
money like a beggar.
