BETTER THAN GOLD.
Ier smile on the llps we kiss,

A tender smile on the lips we kiss,
flush Of JOY on the check;
Tho ciinging grasp in the hand we press,
Loves tone when our dear ones speak,
All, friend these are better q thousand fold
Than all your glittering heaps OF gold.
The swift, warm touch of dear little hands,
The music OF childish words,
Sweet voices that ring from morn till eve
Like songs OF summertime birds.
Oh, these are treasures Of price untold,
Better, far better, than silver or gold,
The pleasant home with its vine. clad door,
The song-birds under the caves;
The bowers where childhoods fairies dance
To whisper of wind and leaves,
Is better than castles grand and old,
Is better than oil carth's gifts Of gold.
So speed away my early dreams
OF treasures costly and rare,
Ill take what my Heavenly Father gives,
With thnnfs for His gracious care,
He knoweth better o thousand fold,
And giveth His children the truest gold.

ing such system of taxation on the
farms to be benefited as will eventual
ly pay the bonds. Some such 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 a class of adventurers
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 it that
the roads are honestly and properly
made at as little cost as possible.
1t really is not right for the state or
county to be taxed for building roads
that benefit some farms perhaps hun
dred per cent. or more, while hundreds
of other farms are not touched or ben
efited 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-
tions that should receive the most pro-
found consideration of those interested
in a better system of road-malling.-

FARM AND GARDEN.
THE ROAD QUESTION.
An Agricultural Paper on the Financial
Aspect of tho Movement.

An Agricultural Paper on the Financial
Aspect of tho 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 n
! thousand years, and are as good as
when first made, except by forming in
some manner road districts aud issuing
bonds by those road districts, and lay

DEVELOPING THE MUSCLES.
Notes on College Athletic Training, Past
and Present.

and Present.
When the collegian first took up
training he had as guide only the
conceited follics of brolSen-down prize
fighters to guide him. The pug was
the only man who trained in those
days, and he was put through u course
of purging to take away the effects of
months of debauch 1t is no wonder,
then. that the early training laws in
our universities were worse than crude.
The governing principle was to feed
man as much nearly raw beef
as he could be induced to take,
and to give him as little liquid in any
form rs possible. The exercise, like
the diet was an exaggerated copy
of the follies of men who knew next to
nothing about the human animal. In
1859 the Yale crew was wont to run
four miles before breakfast; then, in
the forenoon, to pull weights and
wrestle for an hour; and finally, in the
afternoon, to do their rowing, which
always included one pull over the en-
tire course. BY 1864 this had grown to
run before breakfast of from three to
five miles. sometimes with weights in
! the hands, and that before a mouthful
was eaten. Then, in addition to gen.
eral work about the quarters, they
rowed the full course-four miles-at
speed twice day.
AS late as 1876 the football men were
made to practice general work in
the morning, then to play an hour and
half in the afternoon, and at nine
| o'clock at night to run three miles at
speed on dusty gymnasium track.
Baseball men and track athletes es-
capped more easily, for the training had
hardly become very strict until the
days of more rational system. Train
ing for tho varsity teams of to-day
means keeping early hours, q gen

gradual increase from the begin
ming of the season up to within weel
of the actual contests, and then light

This has been quite as unpleasant a
week in administration circles as was
that which followed the terrible con-
demnation Of the democratic party
aud its methods at the polls. Public
opinion has made itself heard by every
member of this administration which
is the first and will doubtless be the
last to attempt to drag partisan poll
tics into the foreign policy of the
United States. Heretofore il has been
the proud boast Of men Of all political
parties that however much Americans
might differ about home affairs poll
tics was always dropped and they all
became simply Americans whenever
anything came up relating to Amcri-
can interests abroad or to our dealings
with foreign nations. But Mr. Clevc-
land and his renegade Secretary Of
State have made startling change
a change involving the use Of the
power of the United States to over
throw the government Of friendly
republic aud replace t BY a despotic
monarchy presided o,er by a notori-
ously dissolute woman, and all for no
higher Or better purpose than that Of
trying 70 convince the people that cX-

in a corrupt scheme for the annexa-
ton Of Hawaii
