WHAT SHE WANTED.

She didn't want a corner lot way out in Kan
sas City.
She didn't want Turkish rug; she didn't
think them pretty,
She hadn't any use for oil, for chromos or for
waters;
She stuck her nose up at the dresses worn Dy
Joness daughters.
She just detested diamonds, and thought
jewelry vulgar;
She had no love for ornaments, Roumanian or
Bulgar
She wouldn't drive i'll coach and four, al
though she might have had 'em,
But trudged along the street, as did her great
forefather Adam.
She didn't like the drama, and she thought the
ballet horrid;
She didn't like the weather cold, nor yet SO
very torrid;
She didn't care for household work, and had
no love for dishes;
She let her mother darn her hose, for she de
tested stitches.
She didn't care for isms, and she never wrote
letter
To the papers telling how she'd try to make
the whole world BETTER
She lived in Massachusetts,, she was freckled
DER with tan,
And all ON earth she wanted was marriage
able man.

Excellence of Foreign Roads.

In England the country roads are SO
good that single horse can pull a We
hicle with two passengers and driver
more than forty miles day, and DO IL
with perfect ease. The public high
ways are likewise good on the Cont
nent. The European roads are almost
everywhere put down with curbs and
well drained into securely paved gut
tiers. Each householder in France is
required to break or pay for the break
ing of certain quantity of stone, to
be used in keeping the highways Ill re-
pair. There is nearly always perfect
supervision by the authorities, which
keeps the roads in most parts OF Eur
ope in prime condition.
How is it in the United States, ex-
cept in a few localities, mostly near the
great cities and where the settlements
are numerous and populous? The road
work is a mere farce in its results, and
vet burdensome on those who are COM
pelled to leave other employment Oc-
casionally and do it. The system of
neglect during portion of the year is
supplemented by the system OF doing
| things the wrong way when they are
| done at all.
| Roads might be turnpiked, culverts
| built, bridges improved, stones broken
| for the roadbed and laid in place. In
word, everything that is now done
ought to be done, and whether the
French plan of compelling the people
along the highways or those who use
the highways to perform a definite
share of the necessary labor be adopt
ed, or the plans be preferred of relying
ON sufficient tax-rate, it is high time
we were doing something. The fact
that something radical ought to be
done in the matter is apparent to
everybody. Even those who neglect
their duty in the premises admit this
and give as an excuse that they have
not the means to be taxed for it or the
time to devote to doing the work them
selves. In this they are in error. The
great drawback to improvement--one
reason why the country people have
ground to complain of poverty-is the
badness of the roads. Poor roads and
the fact that there are no guideboards
on such as exist, deter would-be pur
chasers from investing their money

These commencement days and the
charming visions which attend them
have inspired one editor to say:
There is both an amusing and a
pathetic side, in the eyes of an old
stager, to breaking up of school.
How the poor girls do cry and kiss !!
how the boys hang about the grounds
and look wistfully for the girls they
surreptitiously got acquainted with
over the fence, or when the young fe-
male rascals were strolling outside, con-
trary to the rules made and provided.

late President Garfield called waste of
good raw material" (girls kissing each
other) than I've beheld in the last three
decades together, all crowded into one

things, he was very fond of riding, and
very soon bought couple of capital polo
ponies and a dog-cart horse, all OF which
he stabbed in a curious little lane. between
Shepherds hotel, where he stayed, and
the bridge which goes across the canal
leading to the Shoobra avenue and the
"Nehattah," or railway station. They
were comfortable stables, which he had
had before, but he had always imagined

only used as storehouses. One evening,
however, he was undeceired He was

bed or dressing gown. and her hair,
