A GOOD MODEL.

In the Senate caucus at Sacra-
mento, widow was selected for
Postmistress. Senator Campbell
declined to vote, statiI g for lea
son that after the scenes OF two
years ago he would not consent to
appoint a woman to any position
about the Legislature. He added
that he did not think either House
was proper place for respect
able woman to be seeking posi-
tion.
The effect of Mr.. Campbell's
remarks did much to crystalize
the sentiment already expressed
against female clerks and at
taches.
The Senate caucus appointed a
committee to consolidate the com
mittees and arrange the number
Of clerks
Here is something for the mem
bers of our own State Legislature
to consider before the same con-
venes on the 10th inst.
There is not one OF them but
knows the sentiment Of the voters
and taxpayers of the State to be
decided and GU spoken in favor of
economy and reform. In the face
of this, the usual struggles and
trades for positions will make
more interest and engage more
attention than the great question
OF prompt and effective reform
legislation which the State SO bad
ly needs, but which the people
fear they will not receive at the
hands of the Legislature, and
therefore fear they must depend
on a Constitutional Convention for
the needed reforms.
To follow the plan outlined in
the Senate caucus at Sacrament
to consoli late committees, thereby
reducing the number of clerks to /
what is absolutely necessary for
the business to be done; and the |
clerks chosen With a view toward |
their fitness for the positions.
would without doubt shut out the |
ladies. II this work can
thereby be better and more econ |
omically done, it is evident the
plan should be adopted by our
Legislature.

- Rodney Bates is sportsman OF
more enthusiasm than experience. He
had good luck one day last summer while
fishing up in the Maine woods, and his
joy overfowed in telegram to his wife
like this: "I've got one. Weighs seven
pounds and is a beauty" In reply came
the following, signed by Mrs. Bates: $50
have I. Weighs ten pounds. He isn't a
beauty. Looks like you." It was more
than ten words, but Rodney forgave her.
- Election bets of this year are the
most foolish on record. One man went
to the top of q derrick and remained
there for twelve hours. He has since
died from exposure. A western man
has become the servant of another for q
week and must dc lis bidding. But a
Thanksgiving wager made near Akron,
o., rather eclipses anything else of the
season. Two able bodied citizens specu.
lated to the extent of an oyster supper as
to which could sit on the top rail of a
fence for the greatest stretch of time.
The heavier man tumbled off first, hav-
ing held his base for nearly thirty six
hours, and the lighter one soon followed.
Both are in critical condition.

The Longest Day.

1t is quite important, when speaking
of the longest day of the year, to say
what part of the world we are talking
about, as will be seen by the following
list, which tells the length of the longest
day in several places. How unfortunate
are the children in Tornea, Finland,
where Christmas day is less than three
hours in length.
At Stockholm, Sweden, it is eighteen
and one half hours in length.
spitzbergen the longest day is three
and one.half months.
AT London, England, and Bremen,
Prussia, the longest day has sixteen and
one-half hours.
At Hamburg, in Germany, and Dant.
zig, in PRUSSIA, the longest day has sew
enteen hours.
At Wardbury, Norway, the longest day
lasts from May 21 to June % without
interruption.
At st. Petersburg, Russia, and To.
bolsk, Siberia, the longest day is nine
teen hours and the shortest five hours.
At Bornea, Finland, June 81 brings a
day nearly twenty-five hours long, and
Christmas one less than three hours in
length.
At New York the longest day is about
fifteen hours long, and at Montreal, Can
ada, it is sixteen hours.-KGnsas Farmer.

Ancient Roman Roads:

Consul Knowles, of Bordeaux, France,
opens his report to the department by
saying: "The finest roadways existing to-
day in France, the greater arteries Of in.
land traffic, were built by thssame hands
that constructed the Appian Way" And
these roads which were built by the Ro-
mans when they invaded Northern Eu.
rope centuries ago, over which the great
Roman legions marched, are to day the
roads over which the peasant and farmer
hauls to market his produce.
Of course these roads have been re
built and filled and graded in the centu-
ries that have elapsed since that time,
but they follow still the line that was
surveyed by the Roman Generals, and in
many places where excavations have
been made have been found the huge
bouldersy with their upper surface fiat
tened, that formed the original roadbed.
1T is not only in France that these old
roads were built, for Consul Turner, of
Cadiz, says in his report: "The roads
built by the Romans we're the mcst
renowned and durable ever constructed.
All over Europe, Asia and Africa, wher-
ever their Emperors ruled, they built
roads that have been supposed by the
vulgar of different ages to BE- of super
natural origin. This is attested by the
names that have been applied to them
everywhere. In Spain they have been
known by such appellations as the road
of the devil road of the giants &c"
Mr.. Turner says that, according to the
authority of St. Isidore, the first paved
roads were built in Spain by the: :Catha.
genians, aud the same authority states
that the Phenicians opened and left to
their successors road across the Pyre-
nees and Alps many centuries befots the
Christian era The most ancient r. man
road in Europe outside of Italy WAS in
Spain, and led from .Carthagena t. the
Pyreness. Over this road travelled the
legions of Scipio the Less. Augustus
also built roads in Spain, and, in fact, 30
great road builder was this Emperor
that he laced Rome to ell her provinces
with network of roads extending
through Northern Italy over into the
Northern countries, and many of these
roads are still in use. 1t may be of in.
tsrest to give brief extract from Consul
Turner's report, showing the manner in
which the Romans constructed these
famous highways. He says:
''The roadbed was first excavated, and
in it was placed layer of stones, which
were sometimes united with mortar.
over it was placed stratum of plaster
made Of stone or brick pounded with
mortar. This was followed by another
of sand and lime or sand and earthen.
ware clay, which, like the other, was
pounded and levelled with great force.
The top was made of irregular stones
united with cement. The road formed a
pronounced curve between strongly made
curbs, which were elevated at regular
distances to serve as mounting places for
horsemen."
Not road for speeders and side-bar
buggy, but it served the purpose and has
withstood the CENTURIES Chicago Jour-
nal.

Where They Put The Poultlce,

There is time to keep silence, but it
evidently was not the right time in the
case of boy mentioned, who lives in an
Ontario town. He got silver in his
foot, and, in spite of his protestations,
his mother decided to place poultice
ovor his wound. The boy vigorously re-
sisted.
"I won't have no poultice," he declared
stoutly.
"Yes, you will, Eddie" declared both
mother and grandmother, firmly; and
the majority being two to one, at bedtime
the poultice was ready.
If the poultice was ready, the boy was
not, and he proved so refractory that
switch was called iuto requinition. 1t was
arranged that the grandmother should
apply the poultice, while the mother Was
to stand with the uplifted switch, at the
bedside. The boy was told that if he
"opened his mouth" he would receive
that which would keep hira quiet. As
the hot poultice touched the boys foot
be opened his mouth.
"You-" be began.
Keep STILL" sad the mother, shaking
her stick, while the grandmother busily
applied the poultice.
Once more the little fellow opened his
mouth.
"I-"
But the uplifted switch awed him into
silence. In minute more the poultice
was firmly in place, and the little boy
was tucked in bed.
"There, now" said his mother, 'the
old silver will be drawn out, and Eddie's
foot will be all we'll"
AS the mother and grandmother moved
triumphantly away, q shrill small voice
came from under the bed clothes:
"You've got it on the wrong foot !"
