Conservative men of both parties
have become alarmed at the increased
proportions of the pensions rolls and
are calling for an investigation. The
increase from s75, 900, 900 in. 1870 to
sl65. OOO, 900 in 1892, is matter that
demands serious attention in face OF
the fact that it consumes more than a

constitution.

markable but Is to our common dirt |
roads. the method of building. work |
ing and supervising, etc., is to-day
precisely the same "a 1t
h:,>been Tor generations.
Why has not this important ques-
tant of good roads been agi-
tated long, long ago,
Why have We permitted road build
ing To lag so far behind in the march
of progress?
Blu, suppose we had good roads, then
what.
They would make it possible for the
farmers to take advantage promptly
of the highest market, no matter at
what season of the year.
They would save him days and
weeks of time which he wastes every
year wallowing through the disgusting
mire of dirt roads.
/ They would reduce to minimum
the wear and tear on WAGONS and car
riage>.
They would lessen the expense of
keeping horses in working order, and
fewer horses would be required in the
country to perform the farmers
work.
They would require less to keep
them in repair than do the dirt roads.
They would make it easier for
team to pull several tons over their
smooth surface than to draw Il wagon
through the mud.
They would afford ready communi-
cation with the outside world at all
seasons of the year.
They would save the farmer many
vexations and nervous strains.
They would practically shorten the
distance to the local market.
3 They would increase the demand
for country and suburban property.
A., Well, admitting this to he true,
what Is the best remedy for our pres
, ent trouble? First, our roads shall
be classified under three heads, viz;
: State roads, county roads and town
I ship roads. with reference to their i'm
: pogtance as public highways, and bt
maintained, respectively, by the state
r county and township, each division

:, tematic manner under the State Con
y missioner through his subordinates
Y There is no question but what thou'
Il ands of dollars are annually throw
IN away upon our own roads under on
q present system which would be save
=. if expended under the direction {
II efficient capable officers.
re Another evil which should be rem
NJ edied is the wagon tire. All Wagon
T. used for hauling ON our country roat
of should have tires from three to ii,
inches wide so that instead of cuttiu
up the road way into deep ruts,
would have more the effect of role
m each wagon packing or rolling Il
t;c ground until the roadway would b
of come smoothe and hard.
France leads the wOr
go in the matter OF good roads and mue
n. of her success in this regard is due
in her magnificent system of working Il
Is highways and also the wide tires us'
upon all her vehicles, especially Il
s. heavy wagons.

Standing on His Head.

Wagner, the eminent composer, had
the nerves OF an acrobat. Once he
was climbing u preciptous mountain
in company with young friend.
Wien some distance up and walking
hiong narrow ledge, the compar ion,
who was following called out that he
was growing giddy.
Wagner turned round on the ledge
of rock, caught his friend. and passed
him between the rock and himself to
the front.
His biographer, Ferdinand Praeger,
relates an incident OF visit to Wag-
ner at his Swiss home. The two men
sat one morning on an ottoman in
the drawing-room, talking over the
events OF the years.
Suddenly Wagner, who was 90
wears old, rose and stood on his head
upon the ottoman.
At that moment Wagner's wife ell.
tered. Her surprise and alarm caused
her to run to her husband, exclalmlns:
"Ah! Richardl Richardl' Quickly re-
covering himself, he assured her that ne
was sane and wished to show that he
could stand or his head at go, which
