without argument, it is admitted that
nothing is of more real advantage to a
city than good streets, or that the want of
them is regarded as fatal to municipal
prosperity. In like degree, good roads
bespeak prosperity in the country, and
more-they bring business to those cities
to which they lead. Hence town and
country are alike interest ed in road i'm
pro7ement. The haphazard work that
too often chaTacteTizes the labor expend-
ed on dirt roads will never result in per-
manent improvement. Ancient roads
still found in older countries were the
work OF skilled engineers, and remain as
monuments to the wisdom of far-sighted
rulers.
The first requisite in road building is to
have a fund sufficient to paw for good
work. Monarchs would levy on their
people, but republican methods are of
necessity different. A small accession of
tax to each individual would provide
fund sufficient to pay competent men
"
span water courses, and also to hire
labor to carry out their plans. Road
working has been too much q mere mat
ter of patching in the fall and spring,
and not the result of intelligent direction
and supervision The whole system of
country roads, like railroads, should be
under supervision, and whether this
passes through district and county up to
a state supervision Is q question to be
considered. AS it now is, there are de-
partments under state surveillance that
are of less Importance than is that of
wagon roads.
Without good roads trade languishes,
farmers are cut off from bases of supply,
and agricultural products are debarred
from centers of trade. The necessity is
too patent to need argument. The only
possible cause of discussion must be that
of the ways and means best adapted to
attain scientific road building, and open
up durable highways that shall be ar
teries OF trade.

Professor G. T. W. Patrick, in Popular Scieuca
Monthly for March,
You and see everything TO some s1-
tent differently. You see things from
the standpoint of your previously &C.
quired groups Of ideas; I from nine
Strictly, no two persons can sse the
same thing in the same way, tor it can
never happen that two persons have pre-
cisely the same groups of ideas relating
to any subject. These depend on our
past experience, on cur education, on
the beliefs of our times, on our various
sects or parties, on our pet theories our
interests and our desires. Here is a sim
pie illustration. Suppose an artist and
an engineer, standing side by side over
looking a tract OF country. What they
perceive is the same; what they spper-
oeive Is wholly different. To the eugl-
neer the country presents itself as pos
sible line for railroad, With here ad-
vantageous grades and there economic
bridges Before the artist is spread out
a landscape, with light and shade and
harmony of colors. Suppose, again,
plot of level ground in the suburbs Of q
city. A college student riding by sp-
preciates 1t as q possible ball grounds q
young girl as tennis court; a specu'
lator as an addition for town lnts; an
undertaken, perhaps, as q possible site
for cemetery.

lately been placed in the White House
are in red boxes that have a ring dang

nozzles were throwing muddy water
