At one time the greatest Geographic

An organ-vender set up an organ in

for it if it proved satisfactory to him.
The buyer felt dissatisfied, and so mott

the dissatisfaction was without reason

Vermont held (McClure VS.. Briggs
that provided the buyer acted in good
faith he was, under the agreement, the
sole Judge as to his satisfaction with
the organ. The court in giving judg-
ment said: 1t is said that he was
bound to be satisfied. as he had no
ground to be dissatisfied. He was
bound to act honestly and give the in
strument . fair trial, and such as the
seller had a right under the circum-
stances to expect he would give it, and
herein to exercise such judgment and
capacity as he had, for by the contract

GERMAN PROGRESS,

OF the great countries of Europe
none can show as good a financial con-
dition as Germany. She is practic ally
out of debt with rather a sum in$her
favor. The debts that actually exist
were incurred for productive invest
ments, chiefly railroads. canals and the
like. Her railroads furnish an import
ant part of the revenue, so does the
postal service. In no country are the
finances more honestly and wisely
managed. 1t is not generally known
that Germany leads all European states
(including Great Brittany in the extent
of her railroads and electric telegraph
lines. Her telephone system is extern
sive. and was so long before other
countries fairly entered on its use. Her

Many people. Germans among them,
imagine that the French War indenl-

Good Highways, Cheaply Made, . So uro
of Wealth to the Farmers.
There is no country in the world
where the making of roads is SO close
ly related to the improvement of the
soil by drainage as the prairie region
of the United States, neither is there
any section where the proper grading
of roads on every quarter-section line,
clear through townships, over hills and
hollows, adds more to the value of the
farms. This Improvement is rendered
comparatively simple by the use. of
road-making machines, which are now
so simple and effective that any intelli-
gent man can operate them.
A constant mistake in making earth.
roads in all the great prairie regions of
the West. where gravel and stone are
not easily obtained, is from doing the
work piece-meal, little here and
little there. The proper plan to pur-
sue is for each district of sufficient size,
through the road commissioners, to
procure road-machine, which may be
tried before paying fer it. Then. SO
far as the work can be accomplished.
properly grade road. with as careful
ly-graded bitches on each side, uphill
and down and through the hollOws. SO
far as the district extends. the earth to
be placed in the middle of the road,
thoroughly graded and compacted with
bermes three or more feet between the
grade and bitches The reason for

the grade will gradually spread toward
the bitches, and if these bermes are
not left the earth will spread into
the bitches. If the bermes are left il
gives chance to carry additional
earth to the center of the road in re-
pairs. A road once properly made the
grade should be kept intact. high and
well rounded, If of earth, since the per-
feet shedding of water to the bitches is
its measure of economic ,alue.
The reason why roads should be
equally graded over hills Is well "a
Aollows is to keep the water passing
down the roadway in times of heavy
rains. There should be grade enough

the case of side-hills, the ditch on the

being allowed to waste itself along the
