CHASING RATNBOWS.
AN OCCUPATION IN WHICH ALL
SORTS OF PEOPLE ENGAGE.

They Try to Establish Empires in Re-
publics, to Overthrow Existing Dynas-
ties and to Further Imaginary Claims of
Their Own-Scheme of an Irish Marquis.
The phrase rainbow chaser" has gained
a foothold in the language of the day. and
is pretty sure Of place in the next issues
of the big dictionaries. Meanwhile, for
want of an authoritative definition of the
term, one formulated by a well known
politician may be found to answer "A
rainbow chaser" says this astute student
of mankind, sis person who scars after
the infinite, dives after the unfathomable,
believes in the impossible and is against
the government"
If one accepts this characterization as
correct it naturally follows that examples
of the class rush upon the mind with al
most teeming confusion. New York city,
and indeed the country at large, had an in
dulgent laugh some years agoat "a group of
these rainbow chasers. Each of the CO.
terie was a bright but cratic young man
with views" Individually and collec-
lively they denounced repu Jlcanism as a
pernicious sort of rule, and in casting
about for substitute they decided on a
monarchy. They learned that an honest
old Tennessee farmer was the nearest living
relative of the late George Washington,
and they put him in the field as their
choice for first emperor of America. They
ventilated their opinions in a neatly print
ed weekly called The Imperialist. At the
end of a month the paper collapsed for
lack of funds, Mr.. Washington in an in
terview repudiated the scheme as utterly
preposterous." and these particular rain
bow chasers went out of the business for
the remainder of their lives

Literary Notes from the century Co.

The Century will take up the
campaign for good roads. The
April number is to contain a sug-
positive article on "Our Common
Roads" by Isaac B. Potter, editor
of "Good Roads" and a practical
engineer.
The author points out the enor-
nous loss 10 this country through
the present general condition of
American roads, a loss which falls
not only upon the farmer, but up
on city people as we'll, who are
compelled to pay unnecessary
prices for having produce brought
to them. An American consul in
France reports that the road sys-
tenn of that country (the most per-
feet system IN the world) "has
been of greater value to the coun-
try as a means of raising the value
of lands than haye the railways u
In France every msrket-cart,
with its broad tire, is road-msk-
er. MIR. Potter's article is full OF
practical suggestions for the bet
terment of American roads, and II
is fully illustrated.
