The term spirit Of wine, or ardentspirit.
was not in use in the thirteenth century,
for the word spirit was at that time re-
served for volatile agents like mercury,
sulphur, TIE sulphurets Of arsenic and
sal ammonia, which were capable Of
acting on metals and modifying their
color and properties. The term eau Dc
vie was given IN tine thirteenth and four
teenth centuries to the elixir Of long life.
1t was Armand de Villeneuve who en-
ployea it for the first time to designate
the product Of the distillation Of wine.
But he used it not as specific name,
but in order to mark the assimilation
which he made Of it with the product
drawn from wine. The elixir of long

walks LAes Systematic WORK

time. has bees unusually so this year and
has caused considerable complaint. A
JOURNAL man recently met gentleman who
takes considerable interest in city affairs
and asked him what he thought was the
cause for the defective condition Of the
streets.
The question which you have raised is
many sided ore, anj do nnt kgos that
anyone eoutl be properly blamed. he re-
sponded. The whole system adopted by
this city is II wrong one. There is no se,-
tel systsm of streets and sidewalks and
there is an eternal patching and filing with
out reference 10 grades or future work. 1t
cannot we'll be otherwise for the street COM
missioner is usually some man selected
from the country with the idea of rewarling
some political power and without any re-
gard to the best interests of the city. The
position is. nj best, unpleasant, and with
the large number of miles in our streets and
roads and the comparative small amount of
money which can be used to improve our
streets, 1t is, of course, hard work to make
any showing in one or two years.
Just now there is agitation all over the
country concerning the making of roads.
The roads in America are the worst in the
world, though it is only question of time
when they will be made what it ought TO
be; but such things cannot be expected I'M
I'll the country becomes more thickly set
tied. A perfect system of roads is not the
work of one century.
When Gen, Sheridan was detailed TO
observe the Franco Prussian war, the point
which struck him most often was the com
parative ease with which the foreign armies
were marched over the country roads
which he speaks of as bouleyarls. He
makes an interesting comparison Of the
condition of the roads in France with those
upon which he marched and fought in Va
ginia.
This very thing suggests what should
be the true policy regarding all work upon
our public Improvements. In the first
place the city should go to the expense of
having plans made by competent and sue
cessful civil engineer. One who has male
such things study These plans should
should embrace the sewers, streets and
sidewalks, and all work performed on the
streets should be done according to these
plans, and with the feeling that everything
done was TO be permanent and in connec-
ton with further improvements in the flu
ture. With these plans, after few years,
it would be found that we should have as
good system of streets and sewers as could
be found.
The trouble today is that every repair
on the roads and str, cts is for temporary
purposes and is made by bringing in gravel
and placing it upon the streets. 1t is seldom
or never that street is plowed up and part
of its surface removed. The result of the
present system of repairs is that IN a few
years time the streets are raised above their
proper grade and far above the grade OF
the surrounding property and in no con
nection with grades of connecting or cross
streets.
II have in mind gentlemen living OF
