TT rs ALWAYS SO.

Across the meadow, with clover sweet,
I wandered one evening with weary feet,
For nv heart was heavy, with untold woe,
For everything seemed to go wrong, you
know.
Twas one of those days whose cares and
strife
Quite overshadow the good in life.
SO, lone and sad, meath the twilight stars,
] wandered down to the pasture bars.
TO the pasture bars, meath the hillside steep,
Where patiently waited a flock of sheep
For the happy boy, with whistle and shout,
Who was even now coming to turn them out
Good evening" said he, with boyish grace,
And smile lit up his handsome face.
He let down the bars; then we both stepped
back,
And | said, "You have more white sheep thar
black
s'Why, yes,'' he replied, land didn't you know
More white than black; why, tits always sou
He soon passed ON with his flock round thu
hill
But down by the pasture fingered still,
Pondering well on the words of the lad,
more white than black" more good thai
bad.
More joy than sorrow, more bliss than woe;
more white than black and "'tis Away
sol"
And since that hour, when troubles rife,
Gather and threaten to shroud my life
Or I see some soul on the downward track
cry, there are more white sheep than black
And thank my God that learned to know
The blessed fact, it is Away so.
Mrs. Mary FELTON, in Good Housekeeping.

Road Making Reform.

The backwardness of municipal gov
ernments in this country in the matter
of parks and other open places for pub
lie rest and recreation compared with
the methods in many foreign cities has
been repeatedly set forth. There is
another matter of public interest
wherein we are far behind the Old
World-publicr roads. Whether paved,
coated with a concrete mixture or
treated on the macadam principle, our
best public highways are inferior to
the best that are found abroad. 1t is
a safe wager that we pay more for our
roads than is put out in any foreign
community in the way of repairs
through a course of years, say ten, II
not at the start.
The waste of money on this account
is somewhat characteristic of the coun-
try, and is due in varying proportions
to our good nature, which causes us to
submit to thousand nuisances rather
than to give ourselves the trouble OF
grumbling, even when that form OF
protest might be effectual; to a per
vading ignorance as to the possibilities
in road-making, and to a lack Of
knowledge on the part of governing
authorities of economic methods o.
producing good roads. If town an(
county officers would pay for the
service, the profession of bodybuilding
might be made a profitable branch o
engineering.
The State of New York has made ;
start toward reforming the crude an(
costly methods which have so Ions
prevailed in this country. A law passed
in 1890, entitled "An act to provide TO
the improvement and maintenance o
the public roads in certain counties a
county roads, authorizes the board
of supervisors of counties ian authorit.

not more than 200 square miles of are;
to assume control of local roads for tn

them. Authority is given to thes

Why should this government retain
in Chill or in Peru or anywhere else an
official who is regarded with sus-
picion? Is there any reason why we
should thrust Egan down the Threats
of the Chilians simply because we have
more war vessels or larger batteries
than they?
Is Mr. Harrison afraid that Egan's
recall may result in a loss of the Irish
vote in the coming elections? Is he
using the influence of his position to
further his personal ambition? Does
he care more for second term than
for the reputation of the United Statesi
Is he on the still hunt for his own ad-
vancement, no matter what it costs
the country?
1t is perfectly clear that if Mr.. Har-
rison wishes to continue the friendly
relations which now exist between
Chill and ourselves he will lose no
more time in recalling Egan.
If he fails to do that, it will be inter
esting to know why.-NeaO York

simply in date, all having substantially the
same end in view, namely, her department
on the wiiness-stand- The answers that
he wished her to give to certain questions
were all written out, and she was told TO
commit them. She was TO recount all his
fTeaky exploits for years past and tell of
the particular times that he had shown
signs Of insanity. and in what way. In
brief, the letters were a guide book for her

THEIR COMMANDING OFFICERS.
Lieutenant Benson, though young man,
has already made a record of which he is
justly proud. He has the ren0wn of being
one of. the best mountain-trailers in the
army. He distinguished himself specially
In this regard in the pursuit of Chief Zero
nimo through the wilds of Arizona. He is
exceedingly popular with his troop and is
also quite an accomplished sportsman. His
hunting rifle and fine Gordon setter were
taken along.

touched at the Preside Wharf, taking on
board at that point deckIoad of grain for
