GOOD ROADS


The French Farmer with His load OF
Hay Suggests . Practical Lesson.
Here IS a picture taken from a photo
graph Of d French road showing Il
French farmer with his load Of hay, On
his way to market, nine miles distant.
Isaac B. Potter, the editor Of Good
Hoads, says III comment of the foregoing;
10 will DO you good to look at this pic-
ture. There are something like four
tons Of hay IN that Frenchman'g lOad,
or about ] y tons for each horse. No
tice the surface Of the road. 1t ~ hard
and smooth, nicely sloped in both di-
rections 30 as to insure quick drainage:
the wheel tires are fully 2l5 times
as wide as those on your wagon, ;.ra
they roll over the surface of the road IN
manner that tends to make it hard
and smooth instead Of cutting and cre-
ating ruts, as is always the case when
narrow tires are used. Notice the height
OF the load; it towers up among the trees,
and its immense bulk gives 1t TIE ap-
pearance Of an American haystack; COM
pare its height with the height of ths
driver who walks along by the roadside
or with the size Of the chaise which yor
see coming along Immediately behind.
See how easily the horses jog along; they
are moving as comfortably AZ you can
wish, and there is no sign Of tugging

had road like that from your farm To
town, you might do all your hauling
with two horses and save yourself an
immense expense.
The. farmers Of this country raised
something like 4J, 600. 600 tons of hay last
year and every pound of that hay was
moved at an expense of twice as much
power as ought to be necessary; and You
must know, also, that this picture Of y
French road is by no means q special on
uncommon one; such roads may be found
anywhere among the better countries Of
Europe France alone has about 100, 900
miles Of roads practically as good as this
one, and yet her territory is only about
four times as large rs that Of tlss state
of New York

roads is appended the following telegram

ago. When he returned he executed
the wooden Indian in rude way, as a
typeNof the sort of animal he had met in
the New World, and the figure was set
up in front of a shop where wine was

rs-TIhat. Never Came.

They tell funny story Of a man who
rented box in the postoffice awhile ago
He appears to have been new to the
business and failed to get the hang of
the thing. After month or so he called
on one of the postoffice officials and be-
gan to kick about the box. "The blamed
thing never had any mail in it, was his
complaint.
81 have looked in that box every day
since rented it and it hasn't had thing
in it the whole time. Ieven addressed a
letter to myself and never heard from it. -
The two took look at the box and
the postofice man inquired if the box
renter had ever opened his box Why,
no; of course not. Couldn't he see that
there wasn't anything in it.
OF course it turned out that he had
forgotten the number of his box though
it was on his receipt, and had been
watching and swearing over an unrented
one. He found a stock of mail in his
box at last and went away feeling small
enough to crowd inside of it:-Buffalo

They got into an argument about the
money made by people who earn their
living ON the stage. OF course they diff
fered: people can't argue satisfactorily
unless they do differ. But here is the
opinion of a woman who was once on
the stage, who was considered popular,
who was clever enough in her work to
get applause and praise, who presum-
ably earned more than the average ac-
tress, and yet whois content with her
present life:
ls'sWhen take out the money paid for
gowns which were useless except on the
stage, when make allowance for tray
cling expenses, hotel bills, weeks in
which few performers earn anything;
when take into account engagements
which could not, for many reasons be
satisfactory to me; when l foot up the
salaries which sometimes in my early
work l never received, and when esti-
mate the thousand and one little ex-
penses which were then necessary, 1 con-
slider that for several years of my life /
earned practically nothing but living,
and worked very hard, you must un-
derstand. When l got married / left
the stage. Now it isn't necessary to tell
you what my salary was or what my
husbands salary now is. but his earn
ings are less than mine We're. But we
two live much better on his smaller
salary than alone could live on my
bigger salary. We have pretty home
and all that we need to be happy. We
save little money too. So | suppose
this, is fair answer as to what one
makes on the stage. There are great
many circumstances to be considered. y

The pass was lined ON both sides with

other death dealing instruments.

the natives. -

Sense in National Proverbs.

= There is deal of sound sense in the
proverbs of n nation. Earl Russell de-
fined proverb as being the wit of one
man and the wisdom of many. and the
aptness of this is we'll shown in the. fol-
lowing from the Spanish, ''Since we
cannot get what we like, let rs likewhat
we get The thought is as old as the
race of mankind, but ages passed before
one man hit upon the happy expression
of it. This saying, from, the Chinese, is
whole homily on pride IN one sentence,
When a tree is blown down, it shows
that the branches are longer than the
roots" SE q IL s4
For Il concise expression of the lofty
aspirations of youth and the sober
achievements of ripper years. take fthis
sentence from Henry D. Thoreau, s"The
youth gets together his. materials to
build a bridge toSthe moon, or perchance
palace or temple on the earth, and at
length the middle aged man concludes
to build woodshed with them "-B. A..

The P1ancbetteJ

- The plaI.iette was the popular craze
IN the year 1887 in Japan. The instru-
ment used there consists of three pieces
of bamboo of a specified length tied in
the middle to form tripod, over which
is inverted a shallow ecircular tray of
Iaeqnered ware about "a foot in Diane
ter The legs are i foot 8 inches, Japan
ese, in length. All present put their
hands gently on the tray, and the cokuri,
being honoriic, is politely asked to an
swer the proposed Questions by raising
one leg for ''yes" and another for mo.
Or for yes by turning around, many
such devices being used. The operation
will be seen to be moro closely allied to
'stable turning" than what we know as
the planchette. Philadelphia Ledger
