author was an Egyptian viceroy who at
the age of 10 years determined to leave
behind him, for the benefit of his child
rem, certain wise maXimS and thoughts
revealed to the experience of his pure,
wholesome old soul. They were written
in metre and the following are metrical
translatiOns of that old Pagan's ideas.
He opens up with beautiful invOca-
ton to Osiris asking sanction for re-
vealing divine truths. The following
extracts made will be absolute revela-
tons to many:
If man in passion you meet.
Keep cool, you will win in the end
COntradicted, just govern your tongue"
This comes very apt in these days of
riot and mob law, and shows that the
elements of social unrest fermented in
those far away days:
mo mob the upper hand can gain
If Justice on the judgment seat remain,
And rght-is-might not mght-iS-right hath sway"
Of the sneaking tale bearer he had ex-
perience and says:
He who just to please the ears
OF the man to whom he bears
Message, be he small or great,
From the truth one jOt will bate,
Is a rogue we all must hate.''
Of the beauty of justice he writes:
Perfect, complete
Deeds that when thou art dust,
Still shall be SWEET
"The wages of sin are DEATH says St.
Paul, but he was invOluntarily plagiar-
iZing the ideas of old Phta Hotep who
sings:
His soul is the servant of sin,
His body to death is in thrall."
| And how men must have gone astray
after vain alluring temptations to call
| forth:
| ITO risk all for shadOwy dream,
For moment of pleasure win shame
| Of the duty toward ones children he
says:
| Flesh of thy flesh and of thy bone bone,
Ne'er let thy heart be separate from thy son."
Against i'll temper and pettishness he
says:
| Being veXed you but create
Sorrow that is sure to stay
When the pet has passed away"
To those faithful in duty's details he
has commentator:
Love for the work in hand is passport given
| To wing the souls of human kind to heaven
And lastly of ones wife he speaks
the prOfOundest wisdom Of much eX-
perience:
| "Repel her. 10! gulf between you grows,
| Call her, display thy love. she sees and knows
| Open thine arms, she to thine arms will Gomez

Rer aIrlne country Roaas.

The proper time to begin work or
] begin repairs Is in the early spring
after the frost comes out of the
ground and as soon as the roads
have settled and dried out. When
the road is old, with a good solid bed
the first thing to be done is TO cover
it over with a light dressing Of gray
ely material and when possible finish
it off with "A top coating OF hardpan;
but avoid putting IL on too thickly
lest the going become heavy, as il is
slow TO dry out. Loan is worse than
useless as il never packs properly.
and makes mud. Care must be taken
to raise the road up towards the cen
ter and give il a slight elevation at
the crown, but only just enough TO
shed the water from each side into
the cutters. On a level, straight
road the crown should only be slight
ly convex, for rounding up n narrow
road i'm the center is objectionable,
insomuch as il has the immediate ef-
feet of forcing wheels OF vehicles to
run always in the same line and wear
away the new material into deep ruts
that quickly become water courses
sist the rapid destruction of the road
by preventing the water from reach
ing the cutters. As fast as the new
material can be laid on, it should be
carefully raked over to remove all
the large stones and as many Of the
smaller ones as possible; for where
this precaution is neglected until the
stuff packs down hard. which does in
few days the stones becomeso firm
ly embedded that they are not only
difficult to remove, but soon cause
the road to wearin humps and bumps
and later i'm the season during dry
weather, they work up and become n
source of annoyance and danger.
These stones should never be left in
piles along the roadside 20 be driven
into or scattered about by mischiev-
Gus boys or stray cattle, but carried
away and dumped out OF sight. The
cutters should then be cleaned by re-
moving from them all deposits OF
mud, decayed leaves or branches
which have collected there during the
winter months, never allow this stuff
to be heedlessly thrown along the
edges of the cutters or on the banks
above them, for the first rains will
wash all back to its old place and the
work has to be done over again. 10
is even worse TO spread il outon the
road, according to the common but
mistaken practice of many road dmas-
ters, since decayed material can never
pack properly and always tends to
make mud i'm wet weather and dust

the total up to $200,000,000. This
vast expenditure of over 81, 900, 900

temporary expansion in many lines
of business, and the prediction is
made that the bank deposits in the
city will be from $50, 900, 900 $7O,-
100000 more after the fair is over

Gold Stocks of Leading Nations.

As compared with other greatco
mercial nations this country has no
reason for Encouragement in regard
to the quantity of gold it holds, says
the New York Press. Of the four
countries, the United States, the Unit
ed Kingdom, France and Germany,
France stands at the head of the list,
with gold stock of $S00,000, 900;
the United States comes ncxt, with
1854, 100000, while Germany has
5000, 100000 in gold and the United
Kingdom $550,000,000, the least of
the four. Notwithstanding all the
talk about our loss of gold the fact
remains that the amount of gold in
the country is, on the whole, increas-
ing. The stock of silver in the coun-
try is valued at $575, 100000, which
is $79,O00000 less than the gold
stock. France successfully Y maintains
the gold standard while carrying a
silver stock of $70O,000,O0O.

Miss or Mrs.

So far as the etiquette of the sigma
ture is concerned. there is one unvary-
ing rule for women, married and sim
gle. 1t is never right nor good form
to sign ones name with the addition
of Miss or Mrs. You are Mary Emily
Jones, not Mrs. Patrick Fitzgerald
Jones, to whomsoever you may be
writing. If it be necessary to notify
your correspondent of your married
style and estate you may do so in
one of several ways. Please observe
that a correspondent should not be
left in doubt as to this, much embar-
rassment being frequently caused by
omission, in letters between strang-
ers, of exact information as to wheth-
er the writer is married or single.
You may easily indicate all you wish
to tell. You may place Mrs. p. f.
before the Mary Emily aforesaid, in
brackets. You may write Mrs. Pat
rick Fitzgerald out fully and plainly,
in the left-hand corner of your sheet,
below your proper signature. Oryou
may simply enclose your engraved
visiting card in your letter, this being
on the whole the most elegant and
also the most convenient method of
showing ones relation to society.
The exception must be remarked here
that the visiting card is out of place
in an exclusively business letter, one
which has not even remotely social
bearing.

stories of his quick-witted saying aie

Fifth avenue hotel he was told that

SOUND SENSE.
Gulena Republican.

When an extension of tho Inter- Ur-
ban line to Galena was proposed,
quite an adverse sentiment existed,
based principally on the belief that II
would make of Galena feeder TO Jop-
lin and thus prove detrimental to the
retail business of GaleDa. We confess
that we shared largely in this opinion,
but the sober secoud thought convinces
us of our error. After careful in
yestiga alton we are fully assured that
the extension of the road TO Galena
would be of greater benefit 10 the city
than any other thing that suggests its
self at present. In the first place we
believe il high time that Galena should
throw aside its swaddling clothes and
realize that it can stand alone; that 1t
should no longer hold itself In a6lect
fear of Joplin. Few people go TO Jop-
lin to purchase goods for the simple
fact that there Is 10 longer anyinduce-
ment to do So. Our merchants carry
an assortment of goods equal 10 Jop-
Inns in every respect. As rule their
prices are as low aud where the ex-
ception is found it is in such articles
as are not in use or demanded by the
masses. But even If II were otherwise
we feel safe in saying that where one
