COUNTRY ROADS.

Too much cannot be said In favor Of making
good roads. The farmers Of the whole country
are deeply interested. The transportation from
their fields to the market is par, Of the cost Of
production which comes entirely out Of their
pockets, and part, also. Of which they make too
little account. II the difference In money cost
between hauling their produce back aud forth over
poor roads and over good roads could be footed
up and made apparent 60 the understanding Of
country farmers, they would sec TO Il that their
roads were kept In proper order But there are
other interests besides the farming interests that
have decisive stake in the quality Of cross coun-
try transportation. The roads are the feeders Of
tho railroads, and We are pleased to see that the
matter Is beginning to attract the attention Of
railway companies. The Chicago Raiiray Rerie,r.
commenting upon paper recently read before
the Engineers Society Of Western Pennsylvania
upon the subject Of "Improved Highways" APP
proves the argument of the author, showing tho
Importance TO commercial undertakings Of paved
roads leading to railway stations. The RerisE
says "a wel.arranged system Of paved or even
well made dirt or graval roads will some day prove
blessing TO this country. And although We arc
50 spread out that the undertaking seems hopeless
on the score Of expenses, valuable beginning can
and should be made at once, taking railway sta
tions centres to work out from. Such system
would aid the growth of the material interests of
the country. though rendering possible wider
segregation of manufacturing industries, the
manufactures of which, with good teaming.
would not necessarily be upon line Of rail
way. Farmers could all till their soil with
profit at much greater distances from the rails.

their produce 20 shipping points. In this rcspec,
also. would the railway find gain. for they are
severely annoyed during wet periods by the ina
biiiy OF shippers to get through the mud to the

Bread Baked from Whoa, In Field In Four
Minutes and Thirty Seconds.

to sec him beat his own time Of two years ago,
when his wife baked bread in eight and quarter
minutes after the wheat was standing In the field.

reaper stood at the corne. Of the growing wheat.
Men were stationed every few feet along the line
Of grain ready to seize an armfal as Il fell from

The mill was JUS, sixteen rods distant. Al the

Visiting Niagara Falls.

Any visitor to Nisgra Falls who has gone
about with friend or two, or with his wife and
brace Of children. has doubtless greatly enjoyed
tho sensation Of being stopped every few minutes
with request for "Iialf dollar all around ''
The hack drivers have finally been brought TO
some kind Of moderation, but tho exorbitant ad-
mission fees wherever attractive view can be
fenced in still continue. An editor Of the Far
West, who has evidently suffered at Niagara, was
thrown into passion tho other day by the state
meni that certain capitalists were going to make
shoshone Falls in Idaho the Niagara of the West.
lie declares that "of all the eontemptibly low and
tricky resorts On the face Of the carth Niagara Is
the most eontemptble." "No man or woman
who has any respect for themselves, he says with
a natural indignation 50 hot that il melts his
rhetoric, will ever vi.it the 'thieving roost but

The Narrowest Narrow.oause Road.

One Of the most curious railroads 10 the world
10 . tsn-ineh gauge road running from North Bill
leriea, Mass to Bedford. Il was Grst hooted q,
BY thepeOPls, but was completed, making length
Of about eight aud half miles. There are eleven
bridges. The rails weigh twenty Ave lbs. to the
yard. One grade is I55 feet. The cars and en-
gines are constructed 90 a. TO be very near the
ground, giving them greater safety. The cars
have an aisle with one seat on each aide, In the
same manner a. ordinary cars have TIVE seats
The cars weigh but four and . half tons, ordinary
cars weighing on an average eighteen tons. Trains
run at tho rate Of twenty miles an hour with per-
feet safety. The engine is placed behind the
tender, giving Il greater adhesion to the track
They weigh eight tons, and draw two passenger
and two freight ears. The cost Of the road was
about ~ 500 per mile.

The Horse TINT Counts.

N,'c BrHasricE, v. J.,l Home News.
A certain horse in Sayrcvillc for twenty years
has been a cart-hoFse in brick yard, and the
habit OF going through a certain round Of duties.
day after day, for eight months in the year, has
enabled him TO do things which seem to indicate
the possession of mental faculties similar to some
Of those possessed by the human race. II is an
old saying among farmers that crows cannot count
than three, but this horse has the ability to
count six,y-hve. Ills routine OF labor is to cart
sixiy-hve loads Of clay from the pit to the spot
where the clay is mixed or ground, and then to
70 FOR load Of coal dust; and now, without any
thing being said or done to indicate the fact 10
him, when he has deposited his sixty fifth load,
he turns away from the clay-pit aud goes to the
dock for q load of dust. This Is not his only
popularity, for when be goes the Pit, he backs
the cart up himself to the right place aud will take
only wha, he conceives to be his proper load. II
more is put on he backs and kicks and rattle. the
car, about until the load is Ecdused to what he
considers proper quantity. Having such intel
lec;ual capacity it is not surprising to learn that
he will not be driven. As soon as the lines arc
touched hc becomes fractious and unmana agcablc.

The Family Table.

The influence and the effect upon

family table has been remarked upon
40 often that one would think there
couldlbe nothing more to say in regard
to it, but there is one point to which
mothers might proftably give thought,
and that is the culture their children
here receive of generosity or Of stingl-

be done, sit down and call to mind
what you know of the inner life OF
some household, and see if one person
