Good Roads as a Gospel.

Chicago Herald.
There Is no SUBJECT of local interest
which more vitality concerns the peo.
pie of Illinois than that of good roads.
1t would be difficult to estimate the
value of improved public highways
to the farmers of the state. Ii would
be so great that their actual cost
would be insignificant ty compari-
son.
The present condition of the coun
try roads is amazing when we consi-
der the progress of civilization in
other directions. 1t is only in the
matter of highways that the people
of Illinois have made no advance
from the pioneer period. If improve.
ments in other respects had depend
ed on better thoroughfares we would
be- still struggling helplessly amid
semi bar barrie environments. AS it
is, the time has arrived when the
roads must be improved.
In the agitation of the movement
looking to the establishment of good
country roads there is governorshlp
for the man who will courageously
take control of it and intelligently
direct 1t. There 10 no division of
opinion on the main question. Every
body agrees that better roads are an
absolute necessity. When methods
of securing them are suggested there
are differences in judgment.
The man who will suggest q me-
thod which is practical and is likely
to be successful can make it succeed
by q determined and earnest advo-
cacy of it. In order to accomplish his
purpose IL may be necessary for him
to convass the state and make public
addresses on the subject. 1t may
even be necessary for him to carry
1t into politics, and if he is am bilious
for Office it is In this direction he will
find his reward. What better plat
form could a candidate for governor
desire than one which demanded
better country roads?
Enough has been written and
spoken on the point that good roads
are desirable. What is now needed
is for some one to propose b feasible
plan for obtaining them. The states
men who aspire to state offices should
consider this subject, leaving the
tariff issue and the silver question to
be discussed by the aspirants for
federal positions!

reaching the baby TO Walk.

People sometimes ask, at what age
can we seat q child in . chair; when
put him on his legs, how old must
he be before we teach him to walk?
The answers are easy. He must not
oe made to sit till he has spontaneous.
ly sat up in his bed and has been
able to hold his seat. This some
times happens in the sixth or seventh
mouth, sometimes later. The sitting
position is not without danger, even
when he takes 1t himself; imposed
prematurely upon him, 1T tires the
hack bone and may interfere with the
Growth. SO the child should never
be taught to stand or to walk.
That is his affair, not ours. Place
him Oh Q carpet in a healthy room or
in the open air, and let him play in
freedom, roll, try to go ahead on his
hands and feet, or 60 backward,
which he will do more successfully
at fret; it all gradually strengthens
and hardens him. Some day he will
manage TO get upon his knees, an.
other day to go forward upon them,
aud then to raise himself up again I
the chairs. He thus learns to do all
he can, as fast as he can, and no
more.
But, they say, he will be longer In
to walk II he is lett to 90 on
his knees or his hands and feet in
definitely. What difference does 1t
make 1t, exploring the world in this
way, he becomes acquainted with
things, learns to estimate distances
strengthens his legs and backs; pre-
pares himself, in short, to walk better
when he gets to walking? The i'm
portant thing is not whether he
walks now or then, but that he learn
to guide himself, to help himself aud
TO have confidence in himself ]
hold, without eXageration, that edu
cation of the character is going on at
the same time with training in loco
motion, and that the way one learns
70 walk is not without moral lmpor-
lance.

THE TALE OF A GOLD MUG
GET.

From tho San Francisco Chronicle.
Near Sonora, Tuolumne county,
in 1852, nugget weighing forty
tive pounds and containing gold to
the value OF about S., 900 was found.
The finder had friend who was
far gone with consumption, yet was
trying to work in the mines The
owner of the nugget saw that by
working in the water and lifting
heavy bowlders this man was fast
killing himself. He told his friend
to take the big nugget and 60 back
to the States and exhibit il, at
that time such a mass OF native
gold was u curiosity to see which
many would willingly pay rea-
sonable sum.
AS the alling man was we'll edu-
Gated 1t was arranged that besides
the nugget he should take some fine
dust, 'chispas," gold bearing quartz,
black sand, gravel and dirt from a
placer, and the like, with oil was to
fix up lecture on life in the mines,
mining operations and California
in general When the owner OF
the nugget wanted it or it's value
he was to let the other know Of his
need.
The sick man took the nugget to
the States, got up his lecture and
did well wherever he went. For a
time the miner heard from his
friend pretty regularly, then for
months lost track of HIM. He be-
gan to think his nugget lost; that
perhaps his friend had been muir
dered and robbed in some out OF
the way place.
One day, however, a letter reach
ed the miner from banker in New
Orleans telling him that his friend
had died in that city but had left
the big nugget at the bank subject
to his order. The miner wrote to
have the nugget melted down, and
In due time he received 4 check for
n little over $1,000.

SOME BIG GOLD NUGGETS.

From the Sss Francisco Chronicle
The first nugget of sufficient size
to create more than nero local
sensation Wan found by a young
man who was soldier in Steven
sons regiment. 1t is related that
he found it in tho Mokelumne Riv-
er while in the act of taking a drink
from that stream. The nugget
weighed nearly twenty-five pounds
The finder at once hastened to San
Francisco wish his prize, where he
placed it in the hands OF Colonel
Mason for safe keeping The big
lump was sent to New York and
placed on exhibition. 1t produced
great excitement, and WAS probably
the cause of many a man striking
out for California.
The largest mass OF gold ever
found in California was that dug
out at Carson Hill, Calaveras county
in 1854 |, weighed l95 pounds.
Other Jumps weighing several
poundsl were found at the same
place.

JIM,S ALL RIGHT.

The news that James Corbett,

dressed and seemed not to worry
very much over the report.

from the telegraph slip these
words: Don't worry over the
newspaper reports The latest
caper is to spread sensational
stuff" Its all the woman's
fault" she then resumed. "She
has followed Jim for the past two
yenrs. | suppose she il infatuated
With him, but | know Jim is only
annoyed by her attentions That
is the part be plays for being a
champion and public man. This
woman bothered my husband at
