ing such system of taxation on the
farms to be benefited as will eventual
" pay the bonds. Some suoh system
can be devised that will make the
bonds safe as an investment, that can
be readily sold, and the money there
from can be used to construct roads
that will more than double the value of
the farms on or near which the road
passes
The chief trouble in the way is that
there is always class of adventures
and spectators who will contract to
build the roads and expect to make
fortunes out of the job, but each COM
munity or district must look out for
and protect itself. If anything goes
wrong on their road they are the suf-
ferers, and they should see to 1t that
the roads are honestly and properly
made at as little cost as possible.
It really is not right for the state or
county to be taxed for building roads
that benefit some farms perhaps hun
bred per cent. or more, while hundreds
of other farms are not touched or ben
Gifted in the least Those farms that
receive the benefit should pay therefor,
and only those, hence the Importance
of establishing road districts and hav-
ing special taxation for them to build
their own roads. The advantages of
good roads are so obvious that no time
need be spent in dwelling upon this
part of the subject, but how to secure
them, how to raise the money to build
them, and put proper safeguards
around them so that the work shall be
honestly and properly done, are ques-
lions that should receive the most pro-
found consideration of those interested
in better system of roadmaking. -

OUR NATIONAL HEALTH.
Cleanliness Is Our Safeguard Against Dis
ease


Cleanliness Is Our Safeguard Against Dis
When the epidemic of southern Rus
STA was at its height hundreds of Cir
cassian mountaineers made good wages
in the coal oil city of Baku, on the Cas-
plan, where they would work all the
morning on the wharves, peddle water
or dig graves in the afternoon, and re-
turn to their hills before dark. Then,
and never before, they broke their fast
experience having convinced them
that they could even dispense with
water, if they strictly abstained from
food, till they had shaken the dust of
the contaminated city from the soles of
| their feet. They could not help breath
ing the infected atmosphere, but their
absolute immunity established the fact
that the contagion of cholera cannot be
communicated by means of the respira-
tory organs.
The residents of the sanitary hill sub
urbs of our large cities would, there
fore, run no risk in visiting a stricken
downtown district, or even "a plague
hospital, as long as they would scru-
pulously observe the rule of alb
staining from food and drink
liable to the suspicion of con-
tagion, even by the I'll of
a cholera patient, since there is reason
to believe that the fatal microbes may
Turk in the perspiration of their VIC
Tins, as well as in drinking water con-
taminated by the drainage of cesspools.
Another strong point in our favor is
the cleanliness of our villages and
farmsteads as compared with the ter
rife filth of the Slavonian boor novels.
With their green lawns and groves of
shade trees our American country
towns form so many cities of refuge
from the plaques of crowded metrop-
oils.
In the latitude of Cairo Illinois, the
| colored population becomes sporadic,
and with every mile further north the
danger of flth-infection decreases.
The Alleghenies will oppose a mechan-
ical barrier to the progress of the cpl
demic, and it should be mentioned as a
fortunate circumstance that the Amer
Jean Hurdwar the goal of the centen-
NAL pilgrimage is one of the ARREST
cities of the continent and in midsum-
mer (often between the middle and last
of july enjoys intermezzos of cold-wave
weather, lowering the temperature to

the victims of germ diseases a new
lease of life.-Felix L. Osmond, M. d.

When the rays of old Sol. are boiling
down at ninety degree rate, the air lik c
the breath of a furnace and everything
hot, dry and dusty, the natural desire of
the average human is to drink. But, what
to drink there's the question.
The serious effect of an over indulgence
in ice water is well known. The thou
sand and one cheap gassy beverages are
known to be more or less injurious to the
health, while the mineral waters OF
known purity and healthfulness are a
luxury beyond the reach of but few.
What shall we drink?
A beverage to meet the requirements,
must, first of all, be absolutely pure and
non-alcoholic. 1t should possess medi-
cinal element to counterfeit the effects of
the heat and keep the blood pure and the
stomach healthful. In order to be pala-
table and refreshing, 1t should be spark
ling and effervescent. Last but not least,
it must be economical aud within the
reach of all. A beverage that fully meets
all of the above requirements and one
that is entitled to more than passing men
ton is Hires Root Beer, manufactured
by the Chas. +. Hires Co., of Philadelphia.
This preparation has been analysed by
the highest authorities and pronounced
by them to be free from any deleterious
substance and absolutely non-alcoholic;
while all physicians acknowledge its
health giving qualities. 1t has delicious,
appetizing flavor, is full of snap, sparkle
and efferyescence, and is without peer
as refreshment.
A package. costing 25 cents at the
grocer's or druggists, will make five gal
Ions of this great temperance drink.
Truly 1t answers the question-What
shall we drink? There are many sub
stitutes and limitations of Hires Root
Beer offered for sale which should be
carefully avoided

operative Mud-Malxing.
Our road district and five others got
a new road machine last year, with
reversible shovel and lots of improve
ments. When our turn came, we put
six horses on it, an expert came to teach
us to manage it, and al the men except
one or two got on to ride, no blowing
being necessary. Thus riding back and
forth. working on the road wasn't such
mean job. and we felt rather glorious

chance to let on. All the road to the
village was made in the same way, and

was dry, but the first real soaking de-

hole into another wherever the ground
was level, or anything like it. And
this spring the ruts have bot

are hedging a little. .sWe ought to

the distance that earth can be profit
ably moved sideways is short and the

good pathmaster, with pillow and
scraper, makes only short pieces at
once, which may remain good for TWEEN
ty years before breaking again. The
machine digs up and gives a delusive
smoothness to loose earth mile after

the post-office. Now, you say you
opened it alone and that no one else
touched it. Where is my letter."
q never saw it, sir. If you doubt me
you can search me.
The inspector began to pace the floor
in deep thought. The girl, more beau
tiful than ever in her excitement, sat
down in the chair, crossed her legs and
began to rock herself to and fro.
''Call your mother and she can search
you in my presence.
''My mother is dead"
Again the inspector paced the floor.
AS he walked back aud forth he noticed
the swinging feet of the postmaster's
daughter. One of her stockings had
fallen little and under it was the
shape of an envelope.
"Yoar stocking has dropped, F" he said.
The girl turned scarlet and then
white and stopped rocking. She caught
her breath and almost tainted Then
she recovered, took the letter from its
hiding place, handed it to the inspector
and burst into a flood of passionate
tears. The girl mad admirers, as was
natural; her father was misery, not
giving her the money even that was
needed for bright bit of ribbon, let
alone new dress. She had been
tempted to take money from the mails
for bits of finery. The inspector bit

one to blame.

said.

thrown off. A boy took the pouch over
his shoulder and started up the village
street There was crowd of visitors
inside the office who swarmed towards
the little desk. The inspector waited

to get their mail. He entered the

years old, dressed In an old-fashioned
bodice and light-colored skirt, sat be-

THE ROAD QUESTION.

An Agricultural Paper on the Financial
Aspect of the Movement.
The demand for better roads has
come to stay, but roads can't be built
without money. How to procure the
money is the main question. 1t must
be obtained in some way so that the
burden Of building does not fall at
once upon those whose farms are to be
benefited. The farmers are not able
to bear such a burden in the beginning
If in some proper way the expense OF
making the roads could fall on the
farms to be benefited in the next ten,
twenty, or thirty years, the farms
would be so increased in value that
that very increase would pay the ex-
pense many times over.
We can see no way of building such
roads as ought to be made, such roads
as we have seen in England, France
and Germany, that have stood for
thousand years, and are as good as
whe, FIST made, except by forming IN
some manner road districts and issuing
bonds by those road districts, and lay

FoR THE DEFENSE OF LONDON
Works Which VIII Render Chatham MIL

works Wh1cn Will hcnOer CnatnAm IAh-
itary Depots Invulnerable.
The British war department has
made arrangements for having the
works in connection with the fortifica-
lions at Chatham considerably adj
vanced during the current year. The
chain of forts which for some years
past have been under consideration in
the vicinity of Midway are intended
for the defense of the dockyard and
naval arsenal and the military depots
at Chatham and also of the approaches
to London. The expenditure has al
ready reached total of many thou
sands of pounds. and according to the
st. James Gazette it is estimated that
a further outlay of between 500, 900
and $3.50, 900 will be necessary before
the works are completed. OF this sum
it is expected that $4,000 will be ex-
pended during the coming year-S45,-
600 on the eastern defenses and $25, 900
on Darland fort. In both of these
cases there has been a large increase
in the amount of the original estimates
1t was anticipated that the works In
connection with the eastern defenses
would cost S4sO,0O0, but owing to the
substitution of civil for convict labor
that sum has been raised to $3.50, 200.
The original estimate for the construe-
t. IN of Darland fort-$S0, 000-was
also found insufficient, but up to the
present time the actual expenditure on
this particular fort has been only about
$4,000. When the system of fortifca-
ton is complete Chatham will be we'll
nigh invulnerable both by land and
