work system is the most wasteful and
extravagant of any that has been de-
vised. 1t has been shown by cita-
ton from official records that, under the
instance, community receives less than
twenty-five cents upon the dollar of the
tax-that is, it is considered that to secure
one dollar true value in roadtax work
requires an expenditure of seventy-tive
cents.
If this is reliable statement, COM
munities in new countries ought to profit
| by 1t and abandon the entire system Of
patchwork and district road building by
local roadmasters who have no knowledge
OF modern approved roads, for a uniform
system of construction and the adoption
OF the most approved plans for sub
structure and surface of roads, draining.
grades, culverts, etc.
Ii 1t is true that round stone upon a
road, compared with the economy Of a
broken or angular stone, is as l is to 10,
then in surfacing our roads with washed
coarse gravel we are paying 80 cents for
10 cents worth of wearing capacity, be-
side the cost of our loss Of time in covering
distance, the loss in horsehesh and the
wear of vehicles, because of the greater
resistance of the round stone or pebble.
The subject is one of great importance;
it is too full Of suggestion and detail to be
treated in a single article; it is too rich in
| economics to be handled other than as
financial question. 1t ought to have the
attention Of rural and town dwellers
alike, and that at once, with the end in
view of procuring such legislation as will
permit systematic road reform to be
entered upon.
Governor Ladd Of Rhode Island has
perhaps more concisely stated the case of
reform than any other when he says that
the poor road is direct daily tax upon
the farmer who is compelled to use it.;
that good road is worth going into debt
for, just as good right of way is worth
bonding railroad for to secure it; that
such debts are rapidly iiquidated by i'm
provement in condition-agricultur in
dustrial and mercantile.

GOOD ROAD AGITATION.

A meeting was held in Chicago on the
Goth of October in which were six hun
dred of the most representative people of
the place, the purpose of which was to
organize for good road agitation. 1t was
successful and the movement for road re-
form is now well under way in Illinois,
as it is in New York, Ohio, Kansas, In
diana, Rhode Island and some other sec
tions.
There would seem to be no reason why
the agitation should not begin in Cali
fornia, and take the form of organizations,
and Sacramento County is an excellent
starting point. This county is well to
do. 1t is urged by good fnanciers that
it can afford to borrow 100000 to be-
gin the good work. If such sum would
give US say four twenty-mile stretches of
improved roadway of the modern type,
the gain would more than equalize the
principal and interest inside of ten
years. However, we do not give the
figure as accurate, but if the roads cost
more they would pay.
Such roads would enhance land values,
add to the farmers ability to raise and
deliver produce by ten per cent. in
time saved, wear and tear avoided, feed
for horses economical; and other matters,
to say nothing of comfort augmented. 1t
is held in New York that every mile of
good road constructed pays for itself in
three years. time, with interest upon the
cost of construction. If in California the
roads would pay in ten years we would
effect an immense saving.
The single item of annual road repairs
under our present system, it is estimated,
costs in ten years as much as it would
to construct mile by mile roads that
would almost eliminate the repair item
Nothing is better established than the
fact that the present road tax and road

lie has the courage and honesty to pro-
nounce the whole thing humbug.
l found the much-talked-of window to be
an oNal-shaped one, about one foot in diam
eter, with spot inged in the glass. II is the
same natural tlnge in the glass as is found in
nearly every foot OF common pane. This

/ had IL boxed up to bring away for exanI-
lnation, to ascertain whether there is any diff
terence between II and ordinary glass.
Of course it is humbug; all rank decep-
ton of the sense of sight under the influ-
ence Of the imagination Of the supersti-
tious. A few years ago someone saw a
strange face in the window pane of two
story unoccupied cottage in San Fran
cisco. No sooner had the rumor gone
forth OF a mysterious face at the window
in deserted old house than great crowds
fiocked to see the show. For days and
days the multitude gathered and gazed.
Seven out of ten saw the face; the three
were the doubters and the non-supersti-
tious. Some saw the face Of man, with
the appearance of a willful murderer; 9TH
ers found it to be the features of the muir
derer's victim, pale, ghost-like and with
suffering depicted upon the countenance.
~ - !. g
some young woman, some of a sour old
maid; some saw behind it another and
bearded face, and still others made out
the features of a child.
An enterprising Snowman bought the
house, ransacked its vacant rooms to find
if there was any cheat, took out the win
dow and set it up in public garden,
where, under certain shadings, he found
the face reappeared. Then he advertised
the show, and for weeks filled his Golfers
with the coin of curious people. After
time the glass was taken down, and then
it developed that a defect in manufacture
made the pane of uneven thickness; that
in one corner there was bulPs-eye, which
with the varying thickness interrupt
ing the passage Of the light made fair
semblance Of a mouth. Two defects
above and one between, not discernible
except viewed at a certain angle and
when the light beyond the pane was of
particular character, made the ''1ace" visi-
BILE in such shape as most nearly accorded
with the fancy and Imagination of the
beholder.
These faces in glass are not infrequent;
in nearly every cheap window are de-
fects which may, under certain shadings
of light appear to some eyes to develop
odd figures. That is all there is in the
miracle of Canton. AS for the cures-the
effect Of Imagination wholly.

4 RELIEF.

National elections, necessary as they
are, and integral parts of republican
form of government, are, in sense, rev.
olutions, since they are revolutionary of
the policy pursued, or attempts in that
direction are made by them, to change
the policy of the Government. They are
always more or less disturbers, and
effect most business injuriously. There is
always felt, therefore, a sense of relief
when they are over, no matter what the
outcome.
In the light of the late campaign, and
in view of the conditions of this time and
the promise of the future, it is probable
that the days of the hurrah campaign,
and the torch and banner method of cleo
tioneering, are over. Except great peril
shall menace cherished American institu-
tions we well not have any more cam
paigns in which the flare of pyrotechnics,
flaunt of gay colors, the cheers of march
ing thousands and the turnout of clubs
in odd uniform and strange costumery,
will prevail. The whole thing is in decay,
and probably in the next Presidential
election these campaign methods will
have but feeble influence and will put
forth their last efforts,
1t viii be well, for if they have proved
to be safety valves for pent up American
spirit their cost has been enormous and
dn more directions than that calling for
the expenditure of money by candidates
and partisans. Better means are not
wanting for relief of any pressure of
superabundant Americanism. The cam
paign of the future is to call to its use the
reading means as the most potential. 1t
is news age, a newspaper age, an era of
reviews, magazines, cheap printing and
much reading; a time of discussion
through the medium of the pen and the
press, and therefore of necessity it is
more conservative of peace, quiet, order
and less disturbing to business. This,
therefore, is a most desirable outlook. 1t
promises us more intelligence among the
people concerning politics; more thought
upon the duties, obligations and privi-
1eges of the citizen, and closer unity
among those who think upon common
lines

THE FACE IN THE GLASS.

Somebody discovered in a window
pane face; somebody else pronounced
that face to be the picture of the Virgin
Mary and the infant Christ. This pane OF
glass was In q window of a Catholic
Church in Canton, MINI.
No sooner had the imaginative made
the discovery Of the transparent faces in
the glass than they jumped to the con-
.clusion that miracle had been made
manifest. Now miracles in these davs
appear to be intended mainly to benefit
men and women sorely afflicted ply
sically, and through this means, it is
charity to hold, the believers think the
faith of the faithful is sustained and the
doubts of the doubling removed.
1t is a matter of noteworthy import
ance, also, that ali these miracles for the
healing of the afflicted have some rela-
tion to the Catholic or the Greek or Mo-
hammedan religions. The believers hold
that this is reasonable, since each claims
his church to be the only recipient of
genuine revelation. The doubters and
scorners hold that these apparently super
natural phenomena are either the work
of cunning priests or the result Of the
vivid 1ancies of ignorant devotees-for it
is a truth that devotion and ignorance are
naturally related to superstitious beliefs.
So the Canton pane of glass was pro-
nounced to possess miraculous powers,
and at once cures and wonders in resto-
ration began TO be reported. Henry Nc
Bride came 100 miles to be cured of a
white swelling. and so soon as he gazed
upon the glass he threw his crutches
away and walked off we'll man. A Mr.
Barrett came from Iowa to Minnesota,
crippled by rheumatism-an old affiic-
ton. Now he signs affidavits testifying
to his complete cure so soon as the
picture in the glass beamed benignantly
upon him. Miss Doran, twenty
three years bed-ridden, was car
ried into the church, and went away
improving and greatly benefited by sim
ply having looked upward at the pane Of
glass. And so the wonders ran, until
