Better Roads.

We trust the farmers will not per-
NIT the subject of better roads to
sleep. It is of first Importance to
have good roads, at least to your
nearest railroad station. One does
not realize the expense OF bad roads
when he has been used to them all
his life.
But little investigation of the
subject, a trip through a country
where the roads are good. opens
ones eyes. He sees that the horses
are in better condition; that the vari-
Gus vehicles are cleaner and frmer
and better; that the loads carried are
heavier by far, and the teams move
more rapidly.
Then he begins to count it all up
and discovers that one of the great
leaks on the farm is bad roads; roads
which are bad on the horses, bad on
the wagons, bad on the health, bad
on the temper.
Let US have better roads.-HOme

cussion which was sustained by the
Athenians.. From Athens the fame
of free discussion was carried to
Rome. Tullly was all aglow with it,
and protracted the liberty of the
Roman people. Cicero, inspired by
the same flame, was cherished by the
friends of the Republic, but was obi
GUS to tyrants and traitors.
Deprive the press of its freedom
of discussion, and what will be the
result? The contest between parties
and theories will still continue, and
if discussion cannot find it's way
through the press, it will force pas
sage through other channels. To
effect the destruction of such con-
tests, not the dress, but the human
mind, the source of all discussion,
intangible, and unapproachable as
the sun, must be destroyed.
Since the time when restrictions
OH it's freedom were removed, there
has been an onward and steady
progress of the press as a reflector
of public opinion. Yet the words of
DIR. johnson are as true at the pres
ent day as at any former period :
"The danger of unbounded liberty,
and the danger of bounding it, have
produced a problem in the science
of government, which human under.
standing seems unable to solve."-
Though the press ought to have per-
feet freedom, so far as is compatible
with its aspiration to elevate the peo-
pie, yet unbounded liberty has its
vicious elements. The paper that
brings out with enhanced power the
transcendent doctrines of liberty is 6
public blessing, but the paper thai
INDUCES the prurient taste for The
frivolties and vices which have de-
grading and deleterious effect on so
ciety, and stimulate a morbid desire
for low excitement, that treats Grim,
as jest, labels immortality as s'ricl
developments" and attracts attention
to iniquity by startling headline
and exhaustive detail, to become tn,
daily food of the coming generation
is moral scorge.
"Vice is monster of so frigbtful mein,
As, to be hated, needs but to be seen
Yet, seen too oft, familiar with her face,
We first endure, then pity, then embrace" "

The Press.
can excel.

From the time of Demosthenes to
the present century, the great means
of persuasion was oratory. The glory
of oratorical power has been, but is
no more, With the year 1862, there
was ushered into time a new style of
chronicle. Within the limits of the
Nineteenth century, the periodical
press has become a most peculiar
and influential literary force. It's
forms are manifold, ranging between
quarterly and daily. Its growth es-
pecially in the United States within
the last decade, has been wonderful.
No parallel can be found in any coun-
try, or in any other industry or pur-
suit in this country. A remarkable
advancement in ability of thought
and extent Of power has been realiz-
ed. Quantity, quality, rate Of in
crease are phenomenal facts. The
Americas people are the greatest
readers Of the world They produce
and consume nearly half ol the peri
edieal Merature of the globe
The potency of the free press is
almost inestimable. It has become
the representative, and for the masses
the organ of that speech, and free
discussion which has been found in
dispensable to the development of
truth either in the religious, political,
literary or scientific world. It has
become one Of the principal popular
educators" 1t serves as an appliance
to chronicle facts; to circulate theo-
ries; to expose chronic vice; to report
and enlarge discussion; to constrain
the people to q constant deliberation
on the vital topics of the day. It
abbreyiates and systemizes labor,
eondensing the researches of the few
for the disposal of the many. It is
an exponent Of party principles;
thoroughly imbues the people with
the principles Of self-government;
exposes and eorrects constitutional
abuse. "Four hostile newspapers
are more TO be dreaded than hun.
dred thousand bayonets," is the Ian.
guage OF Napoleon ].
The freedom of the press is sub
ject of vital Importance, and one
which is worthy of a long discussion
Tyrants, and hcentious men in powe,
have always viewed freedom of discus.
sion with contempt. Looking bach
to the time of Demosthenes, we find
that free discussion was contempt.

What College Women Are Doing.

" hEt W OHhth AEe
 What becomes of the college bred woman? Lida Rose McCabe undertakes to answer this question, at least partially, in paper read before ihe worlds edu- cational congress. She remarks incl dentally that public opinion expects the actual results of womens higher educa- ton to be summed up in the dollars and cents they earn after leaving college. Public opinion is right. The dollar stand ard is not such bad one in estimating the really useful results of any enter prise or experiment. The person who is not able to earn his or her own living and more is a very poor stick indeed.
 Miss McCabe tells us that at least a fourth of the girls who go to college go with the object of becoming teachers in the higher branches. In this capacity they are ill great demand, particularly in the hundreds of high schools which are preparatory to the regular college. A number of women have reached the highest rank of pedagogy, being profess ors in colleges and universities on equal terms with men. Among these are men, toned Alice Freeman Palmer, professor of English history in the university of Chicago, and Abby Leach, who is Greek professor in the Leland Stanford, Jr. university.
 As with men, however, teaching Is coming to be with the college woman a stepping stone to other work. This has l., Al. ,~Es. portant special research. The best known scientific special worker among the college bred women is perhaps Mrs. | Ellen Richards of the Boston Institute of Technology. Her labors have been in the field of chemistry, particularly that pertaining to practical and useful branches. Some of her special papers are: The Naphtha Process For Clean ing Wool" A New and Ready Method For the Estimation of Nickel In Pyr rhotites and Mates" "Adulteration oi Groceries"
 Mrs. Richards is distinguished in Flu | rope and America for her admirable re searches on food and food preparation | Mrs. Christine Ladd Franklin of John Hopkins university has made specially of mathematical investigation, as evi denced by her papers on ''The Pasca Hexagram. "A Method For the Experi mental Determination of the Horopter, etc.
 Hundreds of college bred women be come physicians, rather smaller mum Der drift into journalism. still smalle number into business careers. Bu wherever they go they succeed shiningl, and fully demonstrate the reason for be ing of the college bred woman.
