Ancient Roman Plank Roads.

The Prussian minister Of education, Won
Gossler, having learned that Professor F
KnoEe had lately found traces Of old Roman
plank roads on the moor between Mehrholz
and Bragel, not far from Diepholz, in lower
Hanover, invited that gentleman to fully in
vestigate the matter He has just completed
the task. He was able to trace tho lines Of
two parallel plank roads right across the
moor, presenting all those distinctive feat
ures which are found in Roman works of
this kind. One of them shows evident signs
of having been demolished by force, the
boards, which were originally fastened with
pegs to the bearers, having been violently
torn away and buried in the bog to the right
and left of the track.
The other road seems to have fallen into
decay, but there are signs Of repairs executed
even during the Roman period; for In places
boards have been found fastened over the
original planks, the fashion Of both being the
same. Those repairs seem to have been car
ried out hastily, for in one place a mallet,
employed probably to drive home the pegs,
was found on the track, forgotten, no doubt,
by the workmen. The local archeologists
feel assured that they have here the ponies

commander A. Cecina in his retreat from

The London Policeman Wonderfully Civil

The London policeman is by no means
bad sort of fellow On the contrary, he is
wonderfully civil and obIiging, and his
natural desire to please is stimulated by

Implicit obedience to their superiOrs is the
ideal of excellence. 1t is their business to
obey, not to think. Give a London police
man orders and he will obey them to the

has to suggest orders for himself, where he
has to act on his own Judgment and the
weight Of responsibility Overwhelms him.

DEAR DOCTOR:-BefOrC leaving for the east
wish to ?express my appreciation of your
treatment of a complicated case of the eyes.
have tried for several years to get far-seeing
glasses, and had concluded that l could get
none that would be of any benefit to me. But
after l saw the wonderful benefit of your sys-
TEN, take pleasure in saying that the glasses
furnished by you have restored my vision
both for reading and far-seeng to the same
condition as in my boyhoOd. l resolved to
have you furnish me glasses after witnessed
your system to beautiful SOung lady of six.
teen years, from Summit county, afflicted
with a complicated condition of the eyesight.
She told me she had never been able to distin-
guish ones face at distance of six feet. With
DR.. Prentice's glasses she could see as well as
any one. As she looked up and down the
street, and for the first time in her life saw
the distant mountain top, she was greatly de-
lighted, and inquired with childish nj
do other people see this wHy?' 1t seemed
that a new world was Opened,tO her view, as
novel and beautiful as "Edens rosy bowers"
appeared to our first parents. Yours truly,

Dr. Prentice, walking tee streets and reading

ground to work on and he perfects IL cure. n
all diseases of the head, throat and chest he
appears to be equally successful. His brother
physicians are forced to admit that man of
his cures are almost miraculous. His success
lies in the fact that r" AS had great deal of
experience in n european hospitals, uses the
finest surg. cal instruments now used, and
aValls himself of all the latest improvements
recorded in the lcadingmediCal and surgical
Journals of the day. Should he ever visit

success.-Texas Live Stock journal, January

This own inventiOn) has been introduced into
some of the largest hospitals of Europe, and
is endorsed and used by many of the leading
oculsts of America. BY this method eyes are
relieved of ali strain, and fitted so perfectly,
that they regain much of their lost strength.
