conrres. and the Highwa,s.

II has been said that the poems of Sir
Walter Scott did much TO temper the
political feelings between England and
Scotland; but who can doubt that the
great military roads opened by Marshal
Wade through the Highlands of Scot
land and perfected and extended by
Thomas Telford have done more for the
civilization of the Highlanders than the
preceding efforts of all the British mon
archsg
The question of internal improve
meuts is one of vital importance to the
national and state governments.
Whether it is lawful for congress to
appropriate money for the construction
of highways depends entirely upon the
Interpretation of the constitution regard
ing the powers granted by it.
We find that as early as 1906 the ma
tional government, by special appropria-
ton and grants, did make provision for
the Cumberland road, and though Madi-
son, Monroe and Jackson felt compelled
to veto similar bills on constitutional
grounds they never for moment denied
the wisdom of appropriating money for
such purposes. But with regard to the
state there is no question. The same
provision which permits the construction
and maintenance of canals enables her
to construct and maintain roads, and to
this end there is before the New York
state legislature at Albany bill proyld-
ing for the construction by the state of
two macadam highways in each county,
said highways TO be continuous and to
intersect as nearly as may be at the
county seat.
When completed this plan will en-
brace about 5000 miles of roadway, and
to cost $4,000, 900. The advantages of
the plan are that it throws the cost of
construction and repair equally upon the
assessable property of the state, and
serves, at the same time. as an object
lesson to the counties, which, seeing the
value of good roads, will insist upon their
construction.
At first it may seem to some that the
plan imposes an unjust tax upon our
cities; but when we reflect that good
roads are equally beneficial to every citi-
zen, whether in city or country. and that
our thirty-two cities paid in 1883 trifie
less than one-half of the taxes. there viii
appear to be no just cause for complaint.

Tint waterloo BALLROOM.

The approaching seventy-fifth anniver-
sary of the battle of Waterloo will once
more revive the interest awakened two
years ago by Sir William Fraser in the
upper story of the now deserted brewery in
the Rue de la Blanchisserie, Brussels,
which was beyond doubt the scene Of the
Duchess of Richmond's historic ''revelry
by night" The room is very large, but
the rough beams supported by row OF six
wooden pillars in the center can be easily
touched by the hand. The rubbish has
been cleared away, and one can clearly see
the traces of the temporary passage by
which the duchess connected her impro-
vised ballroom with her drawing room in
the house, now occupied by the Smurs
Hospitaieres in the Rue des Cendres Nj.
Vanginderachter, who succeeded Stsmon,
the coach builder at No. 40, is dead, and the
building is to be brought to the hammer,
the upset price being 1872 00Of. His widow,
a comely Flemish matron, such as Jacques
.Jordaens would have loved to paint, is i'm
consolable, for ever since Sir William Fra
ser's discovery she has been honored with
many visitors and has started an auto
graph album. She fondly hopes the ball
room will find a purchaser among the
Duchess of Richmond's compatriots. Lon

SETTER ROADS NEEDED.
Good Advice TO Farmers on the subjecs
OF Pike Making.

Il am heartily in favor of good roads"
said G.. S. Mccain at recent meeting
of the Elmira Farmers club. Il think
all roads ought to be four rods wide, the
grading should be done as early in the
season as possible, the stone should be
taken out often and the holes filed up.
On the hill roads the water should be
turned ont often and not allowed TO run
Ear enough to wash the roads SINE
farmers object to having the water turn
ed ont of the road upon their fields. but
[ would not. think it is a great aiiv'a-
tage to the fields. The hill roads are
often neglected where ten minutes work
turning the water out would save many
days work repairing.
1.-The office Of overseer of highways IS
a very thanllless office. The public find
fault with him if he does not keep the
road in good condition, and the inhabi-
tants of the district are mad if he COM
pels them to work their time out. The
hardest tax to collect is the road tax Of
the one day men who have no real es-
tate. Many of them will not work on
the read, and nothing can be collected
from them. | would like to have law
passed compelling them to work one
day on the road or pay the overseer s.
once in each year before they were al
lowed to vote | think the town should
furnish each road district with scraper
and proper number of road machines
in the town TO do the work
''Three men and two teams with a
I 1. 4 than
dozen teams and twenty men with the
old fashioned scraper and pillow. Think
it is best to put as little time as possible
on the whole district and make it pass
able. and then take the balance of the
time and commence at one end of the
district and grade the road as far as the
balance of the time will permit, the next
year commencing where leaving off the
year before. and continuing i'll this man
ner until the whole district has been
turnpiked: when this is done it is an
easy matter to keep the road in good
condition.
ut requires more work 10 keep road
in good condition on clay soil than it does
on gravelly soil; there is time enough on
most road districts TO keep them in good
condition, if the time was all worked out,
but it is almost impossible to get it
worked when il ought TO be. | am in
/ formed that there are several road dis
tricts in the town OF Elmira upon which
there was not a days work done last
year think the best road is the mac
adamized road, although gravel makes
good road / think the time is coming
when roads will be made more cheaply
than now. / think in time iron will be
used for roads. The grass and weeds
ought TO be cut at least twice in each
year am in favor of walk in the
center of the highway with row of trees
on each side. The farmers ought to take
pride il having good roads, but they do
not: most of them would rather travel
over rough stony road than to work
their time out. | think if each town
would buy one or two stone crushers and
keep them at work all the time we would
soon have good roads. would like
law passed to use the prisoners of this
state in making the roads

A Boston man who has gone into fruit
raising in Florida is in the habit of tele-
graphing to partner in the north when
ever any important fact comes up in the
business.
One winter, at a time when an unusually
severe cold snap had extended as far south
as the Gulf states, where heavy frost was
reported, he sent dispatch to say that his
plantation had not been injured by the
cold.
1t happened that during the cold weather
his partner had taken a long sleigh ride, in
the course Of which he had the misfortune
to freeze his face slightly. The dispatches
which were exchanged read as follows:
81 have fifteen thousand pineapples, and
the frost has not touched one"
The reply was; II have only one nose,
and the frost has nipped that"-Houth's

IMPORTANT ANNOUNCEMENT
SOMETHING NEW
10 Not Pass It By
Coal Briquettes as Fuel

The Northwestern Land and Coal
Company have just projected q new
enterprise for the manufacture of Bri-
quettes or Compressed Ignite Coal,
the patent to which is vested in them
for the whole of North Dakota.
This new form Of fuel has extraor-
binary heating powers, and being small
in bulk it is destined to supersede all
other fuel for railroad, manufacturing
and domestic purposes. The value OF
this compressed coal has not only been
indorsed by leading chemists and as
savers but has been amply tested by
use. so that one or two railroad COM
NAMES in the Northwest are now pre-
nared to contract for its immediate use
mon their lines. The President OF
our company has just wade three
weeks tour through the Northwest IN
company with the fuel agent of the \.
p. r.. II. and as a result of the trip
has secured large market for the
product as soon as it can be furnished
in considerable quantities. The above
Fuel Agent gives it as his opinion
that not less than 100000 tons can be
disposed of yearly for domestic uses a.
lone. in the Jim River Valley and the
Red River Valley of Eastern North
Dakota. This stock is now paying a
ten per cent dividend. and, when the
compressed coal plant goes into opera
ton. extra dividends may be reasona-

In New Jersey, where several miles of
Telford- Macadam roads were constructed
during the past year, marked improve
ment in the value of adjacent farms Is
already noticeable. The same is true of
Bay City, Mich, where there are five
Macadam roads radiating into the coun-
try for several miles.
Roads, as has been truly said, ''are
the veins and arteries Of the national
life, through which flow the agricul-
tural products and commercial supplies,
which are the life blood Of the state. -
