The Literary Ferment in Franco

Philarete Chasles relates in his me-
moirs how one afternoon, as he was al
work in his newspaper office, a Young
man with military air, looking as bold
as II he were going to the wars, knocked
imperiously at the door, walked in. sat
down and said, without further pre-.
amble:
Monsieur, l am Hugo"
Then, after handing to Chasles the
famous yellow covered book with the
password "Hierro" on the title page. he
asked him If he was on his side or not.
and continued:
Monsieur, not only are we going 70
change poetry, which needs a funda.
mental revolution, but grammar also.
What do you think about our prosodv,
French prosody must be completely over
hauled"
So it is in France, where neither centu.
r1es nor years count, but only minutes
and seconds, the shock of contraries and
the violence of reaction. The French
must always be fighting about some
thing-even for Boileau against Ron.
sard, and for Nonotte against Voltaire
Printers ink must smell of powder
otherwise life seems insipid and thought
without any SAVIOR. Victor Hugo's visit

GIVE US GOOD ROADS

e. P. Powell, in The New England
Magazine, has added his plea to the cry
OF those who are demanding good roads
IN all parts of our country. He SAYS
that American farmers have at present
Two great tasks before them-one to
get rid of Asiatic invaders in the shane
OF weeds and insects, the other to get
good roads. He is inclined to agree with
the general verdict Of foreigners that
our railroad management is the best in
the world, while our earth roads are the
worst. Our shame is that we are driy.
ing our horses in the Eighteenth cen.
fury, while our steam engines run in
the Nineteenth.
Inc present system of road manage
ment and of road working or running
was never intended by the fathers to be
anything more than a makeshift. he
says Farmers are losing heavily
through their stubborn and mistaken
stinginess in adhering to the wretched
old system Of road maintenance that
was in vogue when men carried their
grists to mill in a bag on horseback. In
actual dollars and cents improved roads
will add greatly to their productive
capital Their annual actual loss under
the present system amounts to far more
than the taxes for good roads would be.
Upon clay road load for two horses
is 1,4OO pounds; upon a macadamized
road it is $3.50 pounds.
The first step toward a good road of
any kind is drainage, for that produces
solid bottom. To secure this the best
engineers dig three bitches four feet
deep along the highway-one under each
side and another under the center
These are connected by cross sections
all are stoned or tiled, and the water is
carried into sewers or streams. Even
the common dirt road, that bugbear and
eyesore, may be vastly improved by this
simple ditching. Farmers themselves
know how TO construct the bitches.
Without these bitches underneath n
highway the more gravel there is put
INTO mudhole the deeper the mud
will be. The next step in common road
improvement is to make the gravel COW
cred driveway wide enough for at least
two teams abreast. so there will be less
wearing into ruts.
The best road of all, however, and the
one which should be the ultimate aim
everywhere, is either the telford or the |
macadam stone road. The macada,n
well laid will meet our needs.

White Paper Not Wasted,

"There is no such thing as waste
paper" said the junk dealer to a re-
porter. Hardly a scrap of white paper
is wasted. Every bit of it that is thrown
away is carefully gathered up and finds
its way eventually to the mill again to
be made over. The notebook in your
hand may furnish material for the pages
on which you will write a letter six
months hence, and perhaps year later
you will unknowingly find it incorpo-
rated in a summer novel with yellow
covers. Thus the stock of paper that
supplies the world is used over and over
again indefinitely through the medium
OF the scavengers, the dealers in Junk
and the factories, which are continually
engaged in Transforming the discarded
material into fresh and clean sheets.
Brown paper. however, is different.
because 1t is composed of nothing more
valuable than straw it is mostly thrown
away and never used again. | would
not pay you twenty-five cents for a ton
of it. A few years ago old newspaners
were worth four cents a pound, being
made of rags Now they are manu-
featured out of wood pulp and straw,
and their market value is only a quarter
OF cent a pound. Office paper, such
as old bills and such scraps, are worth
