such stiff punchers as Joe Choynsl1i, of California, Mick Dooley, of Australia, and Peter Maher, of Ireland, is foe man worthy of any warriors steel.
 The remedy for existing pugilistic abuses is very simple. First, let rep resentative athletic clubs refrain from giving gigantic purses and insist upon each principal putting up a fair-sized wager on the outside. Ten thousand dollars, all told, purse and wager, is plenty to battle for, ,and the chances for corrupt deal between the principals are minimized. Second, let the publi" frown upon all attempts of fighters tc star as actors, either in heroic, comedy or vaudeville roles; then we will have g genuine revival of honest, manly art and breed race of pugilists and not poseurs PAT SPEEDY

FARM AND GARDEN.
FAIR ROAD TAXES.
President Bates Offers Some Sound Argu-
ments on the Subject.

President Bates Offers Some Sound Argu-
ments on the Subject.
/ have observed in various papers
complaints by farmers that bicycle men
all advocate better roads, but bicycle
men propose to make the farmers pay
for the roads. Hence some farmers pro-
pose to tax bicycles and apply the pro-
ceeds to making better roads.
If roads are to be made by taxing
those who ride over them no bicycle
man will object. But such tax must
necessarily be a special tax, like the
toll taken on toll roads. And the only
fair tax of that sort is by taking toll,
SO that the user of the road pays exact
ly for so much as he uses. 1t must be a
toll tax ON all vehicles, and all beasts,
and all pedestrians. If one is taxed
for using the road. all road users must
be taxed alike Beside, the tax ought
to fall heaviest on those who most
damage the road by using it. A BIZ
cycle does not damage the road at all:
laden wagon does. So does a horses
hoof, or that of any hoofed beast.
Further, the law should make a fair
distinction in the object and result of
road use. The farmer uses the road
and damages it to make money for him
self. So does every business teamster.
They get benefit in actual money
gain from every good road The
cyclist uses the road solely for en- joy
ment. He makes no gain from it, and
it would manifestly be unjust to levy a
special tax on him. Now, cyclers do
not desire good roads at the expense of
the farmer Bicycle advocates of good
roads are generally in favor of the
adoption of the county system of road
taxation and management. Under the
county system the whole county is
made one single road district and the
entire property of the county is taxed
equally for the highway fund. This
makes the heaviest cost fall upon cities
and villages and not upon the farmer.
The justification of such a law is that
good roads benefit every body who owns
property, whether they all use the road
or not. The merchant of the village,
the man who owns house or lot in
the city, equally with the farmer-all
have the value of their property and
business increased by good roads. In
the orange district, where several mil
lions of dollars have beep spent in the
last ten years making good roads, the
official records of the county show that
the value of the property of the whole
county has more than qsadrupled with
in the last eight years owing to these

A Few Hints About Charming.

Tin may be cleaned more perfectly

road improvements, while the value of
the property directly along the lines of
the good roads has increased over six
times.
The official records always show the
same extraordinary increase in the val
ues of property, wherever good roads
have been constructed. And this is also
noticed: Farmers always resist and
complain before the good roads are con-
structed; but, after the roads are made,
they are the strongest supporters of
the new system. Nothing could induce
them to go back to the old condition;
and the complainers and resisters are
thereafter confined to city and village
hang backs. In Michigan we have one
county that, in spite of resistance by
farmers, got the privilege, by special
act of the legislature, of spending $780,
600 for stone roads. They spent the
money and the supreme court of
the state pronounced the act unconsti-
tutlonal, and then up rose the farmers,
having been convinced by once trying
the effect of so much good road, and
joined in a strong petition to have the
state constitution AMENDED so that their
county might be permitted to bond it
self for more hundred thousand dollar
good road expenditures! Meanwhile
those farmers who got the benefit of
the first hundred thousand dollars
worth of good roads cut swells' and
chuckled: Don't you wish you could
get it?'' over the farmers not on those
roads.
Well they may, since the official valua-
tions prove that lands along these roads
have enhanced in value more than
double any other farm lands in the
county.-President Bates, in Chicago

NEW SECRET DISCOVERED.
This Time It's an Invention for Making
Butter without Churning.

This Time It's an Invention for Making
Butter without Churning.
1t is reported that the butter secret
has been discovered. DIR. Vaughn is
the man who is credited with having
found it, and it is regarded in scientific
circles as perhaps the greatest of his
discoveries. The thing that he is repre-
scented to have got at is the allaloid
which, being created in milk or cream
by churning, produces butter. DR..
Vaughn. it seems, takes can of
fresh milk, drops in some allaloid, and
presently dips out the fully-developed
butter without further ado. 1t is not
oleomargarine, or any illegal-unless-
labeled substitute, but real butter.
Here, says Harper's Weekly, is an
other step taken toward the millennial
period when man will press the button
and nature will do the rest. DIR.
Vaughn does away with the churns,
the next inventor may be expected to
abolish COWS. Give him pail of rain
water and he juggles something into it
and you get back real milk. Then an
ounce or two of alkaloid, and 10, but
ter. and all the millxmen and dairy
maids are in search of new employment.
There is something disconcerting
about these discoveries, for all their
usefulness. Where are they going to
stop. and what is to become of the
working people when all the work does
itself? Next we may hear that some
meddling investigator has discovered
the secret of literary style, so that by
the adjustment of a simple appliance to
a printing press raw facts may be fed
in at one end, and literature cut off at
the other in lengths and of qualities to
suit the market This is a more terri
flying possibility than even that all the
Harvard undergraduates should become
proficient writer's. 1t remains for man
kind to hope that when it ceases to be
possible for the multitude to make
living on earth, the secret of living
without food may come out, or the per-
lection of flying machines, or some
thing, may provide means of immigra-
ton to other spheres.

WARM WEATHER DANGERS.
Disease and Death Brought on by Impru-
dence in Dress.


dence in Dress.
With the coming of the first warm
days there is decided impatience
manifested. especially or .hc part of
young and inconsiderate people, to
throw off what seems to them the bur-
densome garments of winter. Follow
ing this inclination. the warm clothing
is laid aside. and out into the fresh but
chilling spring air go these thoughtlcss
people. A little unusual exercise, pro-
fuse perspiration, u pause for a mo-
ment at the corner or in hallway to
chat with a friend a ride in street or
steam car with an open window or
few minutes in carriage. and there is
a curious and weary feeling that comes
over the individual that for lack of
consideration most people seem to pre-
fer to call spring fever" The next
morning there is dullness of sensibili-
ties, a Discrimination to meet the duties
of the hour, an indifferent appetite
and often a good deal of irritability.
The man INDUCES in brandy and soda
or some of the so-called tonics of the
day; the woman, maybe, takes a cup
of strong tea or some Of the favorite
prescriptions of Eer pet doctor, and
confidently hopes to be ''all right to-
morrow"
Instead of prudence and little rest
and quiet these reckless creatures are
out again, with more exercise and more
chill. Then there is sure-enough ILL
ness, more than likely death, and the
inscruta BILE and mysterious ways of
providence are enlarged upon by the
sympathizing clergyman. TO the edit
cation of interested friends.
The whole situation resolves itself
into this fact. that people who are con-
sidered to possess good common-sense
seem to very suddenly part company
with it when the first days of spring
come around. BY their own conduct
they invite disease and death. and then
blame the mysterious dispensation of
an overruling power.-N. Y. Ledger.

The Probable Origin Of "HeIlo...

A linguist says that hello is almost
a new word. as it differs in form, sound
and use from the old word "halloo." 1t
is merely mentioned by Webster, and
the searcher for information is referred
to "halloo," which is defined as an in
PERFECTION, loud call or the noise of
the hunt. The forms there given
''halloa' and "halloo''-are not well
adapted to the American tongue,
neither are they susceptible to the
variety of expression that can be given
to hello" Probably the word halloo
grew out Of the call hail, OH which
was almost universally used by way
farers in olden time when hating at
house along the way. Hail. oh. the
house" was another form quite com
mon in this section in early times. This
would quite naturally take the form of
"halloo! the house. IN. Y. Tribune.
