A Plea for tho Roadslaes.

While there is strong and increasing
demand for a higher education of
women, and growing sentiment for a
better education of farmers in their own
calling, there is a great, yet slumber-
ing demand for the education OF farmers
in still another direction. Any one who
has Travelled through England or on the
Continent and noted the well-kept road
ways. shaded for the comfort of travel
ers and the greater improvement OF the
country itself, and then make tour
through portions of our own country,
where the roads are merely raised beds
of gravel, with the roadside fences piled
high with stone heaps and stumps drawn
from adjoining fields, with an absence
OF shade trees. and no attempt at i'm
Provements, will keenly appreciate this
need OF greater education among farm
era. Where highways depend entirely
upon local effort for their maintenance or
improvements, there is great need for
better appreciation of the Importance
Of improving the highway in appearance.
There is no reason why the roadside
should be made dumping place for the
refuse from the farm; nor why it should
be allowed to grow up with bushes and
weeds OF every description. The farmer
who prides himself upon the cleanliness
OF his farm has great reason to protest
against the course of those who allow
thist.es and other foul weeds to mature
their seeds upon their side of the road
way. The traveller along the highway
has every reason to condemn the neigh
boring farmers who keep their roadway
and the roadsi1es in such manner that
travel is uncomfortable and the appear
an,c of the roadway unpleasant to the
eye.
Farmers should have enough local
pride to inaugurate certain plans Of i'm
provemcnt without waiting for the slim
ulus of legislative enactment. There
should not DC any necessity for au act of
the legislature requiring farmers to cut
seed-bcaring weeds, neither should it re.
quirc law to induce farmers to plant
shade trees, and every path master should
know enough and have enough enter
prise to plant finger post ut each four
corners or ut any other place where
travellers are liable to take the wrong
turn; and farmers themselves should go
even farther thar it is possible for the
law to Lead them. Especial pains should
be taken with the grading of the road
side and to see that it is kept smooth
and slightly, and certainly every road
district should have watering trough
where horses or other animals that pass
along the highway MAJ quench their
thirst. If farmers would devote one or
two days during the years to the i'm
provemcnt of the roadside the appear
ance OF the rura! districts would be very
much changed for the better in the
course OF the next five or ten years, and
the farms themselves increased in money

An Odd Geography.

About 1903 geography was intro.
duced into the New York schools from
England, ga Little Description of the
Great World" by Peter Heylyn. Tho
biographies of those days ire the oldest
OF all our textbook relics. The pre-
vailing ideas of Europe and Asia were
tolerably clear, but the most of Africa
was mysterious land, aud the interior
OF America-dark aud unknown.
The Sahara Desert consisted of tho
Land of Beledu!gerid and the Land oil
Zaata, inhabited by wild beasts and pagan
peoples, said to be hospitable ant
friendly, who eat camel's flesh and milk
In Negro Land, or the center o.
Africa, were people witt out heads, who
had eyes and.mouths in their breast.
The King resided at town called Mousul,
where was a market for human flesh and
where hundred slaves were killed daily
for the kings table.
Wonderful stories came from the
French possessions along the Mississippi,
where the land was so fruitful that two
acres would return 400 bushels of corn.
In the land of Florida were found goodly
fruits and goodly quantity of gold and
silver.
"Emeralds are found there alsoe, and

The Designs on Our Money.

The Director of the Mint, authorized
by act OF Congress, has recently issued a
circular letter to artists inviting them to
submit "new designs of authorized en-
blems or devices to be prepared or
adopted for the coins of the United
States" This ON its face is highly to be
commended, for our coinage at present is
calculated to make the judicious weep,
and the lukewarm patriot sympathize
with the structures of the foreigner on
our degree of civilization. The criti-
cisms on our coinage could indeed be
applied with equal force to all our mon
eyes, for the Treasury notes, with tn cir
wealth of turniDg-lathe tracery and
their sign-painters lettering, are no
better than our coins. The one excuse
for their existence has been the difficulty
which they were supposed 20 oppose to
counterfeiting; but this, it appears from
late developments, is largely Imaginary,
and their ornate ugiiness is therefore
without extenuating circumstances
