Better Roads.

Scarcely meeting of farmers is held
in Delaware Of late that the question OF
better roads is not up for discussion. This
is an Indication of the fact that better
roads are demanded and must soon be
provided for. There is no excuse for
the present condition of the highways in
many parts Of the State, for a little labor
spent upon them at the proper season
would improve them vastly. This is par
ticularly true in Kent and Sussex counties,
when, by simply blowing the roads, and
rounding them we'll up in the middle,
and then narrowing, rolling and dragging
them till they are solid and smooth, most
excellent roads will result. Not perfect
roads, to be sure, but far superior to the
average Of them at present. But this
work must be done at the proper season,
and that Is in the spring when the ground
is wet. In some places a good layer of
oyster shells weuld have to be applied,
but the expense of this would not be
great, and would soon be repaid. The
value ofland in any ueighborheod is in
direct proportion to the ease aud facility
and c6eapness Of taking its products to
msrket. For the present a general i'm
of the highways in Delaware
must suffice, but the time will come when
the whole system must be reVolutionized.

Harper's Magazine

An important literary feature Of Harper's

the first time of six papers by Mr. James
Russell Lowell on the Old English Drama
lists III this, his last literary work, Mr.. Low
n returned to the love of his youth, his earl
lest studiec having been in that field and we
shall have in these papers the results Of his
ripest thought on a subj ject which profound dly
interested the three greatest critics Of our
century-Lamb, Hazlitt, and ColeTidge.
These studies are not only examples of the
best criticism, but are, as Professor Charles
Eliot Norton designates them, genuine
pieces of good literature" They abound
also in passages ofintimate personal interest,
reaexes Of MI Cowen's moods aud Of the
impressions occasioned by incidents ofhis

MILTON.

Last Sunday morn was beautiful. The
Frost King was abroad. And as walked
out DER hill and dale, and through the
woods inhaliug the invigorating oxygen
I felt tinge upon my cheek, and stiin-
uius permeating my lungs, that could
not have been produced by the tabled
nectar Of the gods. A skirt OF SHOW lay
on the ground; the trees stood mohonless
aud the sun shining as only winters
sun does shine, made up the panorama
that enchanted my vision. I paused and
gazed upon the scene, and exclaimed, !,
20. how lovely is tile landscape yes; as
beautiful even now while draped IN snow
as it is glorious when garlanded w1th.the
blossoms of spring."
The death Of the Rev. T. r. Creamer
propounds to my mind the following in
quiry: rs Milton an unhealthy place for
Rinisters ~ Some die while here, others
stray away from their first love" shortly
after leaving, while others are expelled
from the associations to which they be-
longed for their rascality while here, or
previous to their coming here. The fol-
lowing reminiscence will explain: Some
years ago the Rev. John Smith, an &C
ceptabie minister, shortly after leaving
this charge bade adeau to the NJ. +, Con-
ference aud became a proselYte to Swe-
denborgianism. Next the Rev. G. S.
CSarsner from Indiana after filing the
M E pulpit here for two years, was sent
bv the conference to another place;
abandoned his charge, aud joined the
I. e Church. Then comes the talented
aud gifted Lightbourne-th genial Al.
than whom no more eloquent man ever
entered the M. e. Church. After de-
lighting the Milton congregation for
NO qears by his eloquence; Two years
abse4uent he resigned his pafchments

PHILADELPHIA, Monday, Jan. IS 1899.
Never did locomotive engi-
neer, with hand on throttle
value and mind vibrating from
steam gauge to track signals,
watch more intently the pro-
gress of his engine than do we
the various stocks that indicate
the movement of this business.
The advance must be rapid
and steady otherwise we drift.
In all this there is no point
so vital as Dress Goods. Each
seasons advent is watched for
notes of progress. There is
Joy when they are positive and
strong.
1t is therefore with no COM
mon pride that we linger over
the new goods-Challis, Java
naise( (surnamed Bayadere) and
Crepe Trianon. The fabrics.
wool or wooI-and-silk, bear the
stamp Of French genius in
textile printing. French gal
lantry has done much to WOO
the Fine Arts back to indus
try. These sorts OF Dress
Goods give witness, each pass
ing season more completely, |
of the power of art to grace all
useful things. Have you seen
the Javanaise?
Tete-a-tete-with the delicate
Latin woods are the Celtic silk
and linen-Pim rothers &
Co.'S Irish Poplins. Like other
eminent emigrants they are
from Dublin. Like other Irish
interests, they boast a great
American constituency, but more
than this, they have world
wide fame.
The following touch on
prices cannot fail to rouse a
arger interest in the hearts Of
admirers. !

Fruit and Produce Packages.


A circular has been sent out by the Frui
and Produce Trade Association ofNew York
which has for its object the equalization oi
sizes of fruit packages. It is addressed tc
growers aud shippers of fruit, and in sub
stance says
The inequality of size in packages has
been annoying aud embarrassing to Com
mission Merchants and a loss to shippers
aud growers. The principal advantages OF
uniform packages are as follows First, the
property could be handled here to decidedly
better advantage. Second, small packages
cost as much for freight as the full size end
sell for much less, proportionately, (because
buyers are so prejudiced against them)
thereby making them very Improbable to
the shipper. Third, different sizes require
different prices to correspond with the pack
age, the quality Of the contentsl being the
same. Fourth, we are threatened with ad-
verse legislation in consequence Of the ir-
regularity Of the packages IN use.
For these reasons we not only recom-
mend but streuuously urge the Immediate
adoption as far as possible Of the round
booped -four barrel as the standard of meas
ure, with the barrel crate equal in capacity to
the standard barrel, rounded measure, and
the halfbarrel crate and third barrel crate to
be proportionate parts of the standard crate
or barrel.
The retail grocers Of the city buy very
large quantities Of fruits and vegetables.
They have strong organization and for three
years have been untiring IN their efforts to
induce the Common Council Of this City to
enact an ordinance to compel the sale Of
fruit and vegetables by weight, The bill by
the utmost exertious Of the commission mef
chants here was barely defeated last winter
and has recently been introduced again in
form as presented below.
We have assured the Common Council
that the introduction Of standard package
would place the business of selling fruit and
vegetables upon a more equitable basis and
that it would chiefly meet the objections to
the present system upon which retailers base
their demands for sales by weight.
Ifthe growets will Immediately take such |
steps as are necessary to abolish allimegplar

Modern Miracles.

A singer for breath was distressed,
And the doctors all said she must rest,
But she took G. M. D.
For her weak lungs you see,
And now she can sing with the best.
An athelete gave ont, on a run,
And he feared his career was quite done
G. N. D., pray observe,
Gave back his lost nerve,
And now he can lift half ton.
