HIGHWAY ENGINEERS.
How They Should BE Educated ana
Trained for Their Work.

How Thew Should Be Educated ana
Trained for Their Work.
The history of the art of road-making
is singulariy replete with important
lessons. 1t is doubtful if the recorded
experience of any other branch of en-
ginecring is more instructive. There
fore the highway engineer needs to
know much of the history of his pro-
fession in other times and coun tries
than his own.
Last, but not least, the student of
this subject needs ample practice in the
construction work of the road engineer.
He must see an extended series of prac-
tical constructions, observe the work in
progress, and note the results attained
by the various methods; above all he
must become familiar with the manual
and mechanical processes which have
been found to give the best results
with the least expenditure. He should,
if possible, before graduation, have a
tour Of duty in the actual work OF his
proposed occupa ton.
There is reason to hope that the edu-
cation Of engineers in the manner here
proposed will bring about gain which
will go much further than it at first
sight appears likely to do. Up to the
present time our country people have
had but little in the way of profit from
the services Of skilled men in engineer
ing work. Although such experts are
needed in a great variety of ways in
every rural community, there has not
been yet enough employment to
tempt them to those fields. If the plan
is adopted of having township or coun-
ty engineers for the care of the
highways we may look forward to a
wider dissemination of this class of
persons, and to their aid in many
branches of work, where they will
prove most helpful. They will be good
land surveyors: they can give valuable
advice in questions Of water supply and
drainage; they may be trusted to better
the methods of construction used in
our buildings. AS soon it becomes
the custom to rely upon this class of
experts the field of their usefulness will
tions will profit much from their aid.
They will bring the resources of a great
field of natural science home to our peo-
pie There can be doubt that
through this addition of specialists to
our country folk are shortly to
make a distinct advance in our societies
outside of the great towns.
To Young men who are seeking a safe
and honora bic occupation the field of
employment which is opened by the de-
velopinr profession of the highway en-
ginecr is likely to prove very tempting.
1t offers an opportunity for a large and
interesting kind of activity. Consid-
cred with the other duties which will
naturally fall to such experts it will
not only give man Il living, but will
MAX him Il person of importance in tho
community wherein he dwells.-Prof.

WILL AND HEREDITY.

Qualities Of Children.

strengthening and Reinforcing the Good
Qualities Of Children.
In the ordinary case, the qualities
transmitted from parents to children
to the mental and moral equipment of
the better one of the parents, unless
there 10 a remarlka BILE after-deve1op-
ment of them. This is true, because
the inheritance from the inferior par
ent lowers that from the superior. Con.
sequently, it is evident that men would
retrograde, instead of advancing, in
civilization unless forces stronger than
heredity were in operation. Such forces
arc environment and will. In an indi.
vidua1 case either one may be rs strong
or stronger than hereditary, but, with
the mental or moral condition of their
parents, the ease is that only the conn
bined influence Of environment and will
is more active than heredity.
Heredity is the first of the three
factors to operate. 1t il. SO to say, in
full blast before the child is response
bic. Except in extraordinary intances,
most of the hereditary qualities of
children may be anticipated, certainly
discovered, by observing parents who
wish to do the best possible in the long
run for their children rather than to
gain immediate pride. Parents should
realize that children merit neither
y
ties, inasmuch both good and bad
qualities come without effort on the
part of the children. They should
particularly realize that only effort, In
it's various forms of obedience, indus
try, regularity. checrfulness, etc, is
the true test of Il child's merit.
A parent, next to maintain
ing child's health. should Guilt
vate his will to cheerful obedi-
ence md industry. These are the
qualities which it is first possible for
child to acquire; and acquired qualities
are those which bring the most train
ing and are the most praisewortlay.
That parent loves well, but not wise
ly, and is doing wrong, who gives UNI
earned rewards TO the idle and selfish
boy or the fretting girl. If the boy
fails to prove half-spoiled on becoming
a man, it is in spite of his early train
ing. The chances are that he will be
willf1l, besides idle and selfish. BUT
an early environment of industry,
obedience, thought and faithful re-
ligious training can train the will in
such a way as to modify natural bad
qualities and reinforce natural good
qualities and lead to the acquiring of
new good ones.-N. Y. Ledger.

TEXAS TO THE FRONT.
Tho Excellent Road Law Passcd by tho
Lone Star Legislature.

The Excellent Road Law Passed by tho
Lone Star Legislature.
The agitation begun SOME time ago
for the construction of country roads
that will be paSsable at all seasons of
the year is not to be allowed to die out
without having produced any practical
results. 1t is now bearing fruit in some
sections of the country where the need
of good roads has been most severely
felt. The legislature of Texas, which
has recently adjourned. passed an act
for the beginning of the work of road
construction in the state which, if it
should prove effectual in its working,
will dou btlcss be given wider scope at
subsequent sessions Of the lawmal>irg
assembly until its provisions arc wide
enough to embrace every portion of the
state and furnish good roads in all dl-
rcctions.
AS yet the law applies only to coun-
ties that contain cities and towns of
considerable Importance, probably be-
cause the imposition Of Il tax sufficient
to meet the expense of the construction
would be moro than the sparse popula-
ton in other counties could stand. By
the act passed the counties are author
lied to issue bonds for road construc-
ton. The amount of these bonds is to
be governed by the assessed valuation
of the property IN the county issuing
the paper. No larger amount may be
issued than a tax OF fifteen mills on the
assessed valuation. The bonds may not
be redecmablc in less than ten or run
more than forty years, and they may
not be sold at less than their par value.
Care is taken in the law to provide
safeguard. for the proper expenditure
of the money. Money thus raised may
not be expended for any other purpose
than the construction Of roads and
bridges. These must be built under
the supervision of a competent engi-
neer and utter a proper survey has been
made for them. They arc to be built
in a substantial and permanent way so
that they will be passable at all sea-
sons of the year and in such a way that
they will be easily kept in proper re-
pair. Should the act be administered
in the spirit in which it has been
passed, it is probable that Texas will
soon be ahead of most of the other
western states in regard to good coun-
try roads.-Chicago Evening Post.

RAMADAN AND BAlRAM.

Tho NIahometan Month OF Day Fasting
and Night FcastinE. ~
Ramadan is the Mahometan Lent. At
this time the sultan always goes from
the Gildiz palace in Pera across the
great bridge of boats into his Turkish
capital, STAN boul, to kiss the mantle of
Mahomet. Ramadan is in the ninth
lunar month of the Mahometan year,
and during it the people are required
both by the law and the prophet to
spend their days in fasting and prayer.
From sunrise to sunset not Inorsel of
food and not drop of liquid must pass
their lips; and the more conscientious
of the people consider it a sin to svval-
low their saliva during this time. They
must not smoke take snuff. or use
any means to stay their appetite. and
even the use of Perfumery is forbidden
The Mahometan who is perpetual

his food during the fastin g, and even

faint from working twelve hours on an
empty stomach, having their dinner
ready for them. watch the sun going
with a cigarette in their hands, and
will consume this before they begin to
eat. The olive is considered to be five
times more blessed than the water to
break the fast with, and the dinner
which follows the fast of Ramadan is
always the best that the purse of the
ia ster can procure.
Ramadan is to all Mahometan coun-
tries a month of day fasting and night
fcasting. The people make up for
their abstinence during the day by a
grand carouse at night. and STEAMBOAT

BLOwED ON THE OFFICE BOY
How the Latter Got Square the Blonde
Typewriter.

How the Latter Got Square the Islon dc
Typewriter.
The office boy and the blonde type
writer had quarreled. 1t was over a
trivial matter, to be sure, but nevcrthc
less they were on the outs.
Both seemed spitefully revengeful.
and when one day the office-boy played
off sick and went to the baseball game
the typewriter made known to the en-
ploycr the youths sporting proclivities.
This. might be expected, caused
trouble. and the wrath of the Office
boy against the young lady with nimble
fingers increased more and more. Days
passed and the lad planned and dreamed
of schemes to ''gct back at his fair
tormentor, who stood well in the
graccs of the employer Now on every
typewriter there is a small gong which
rings when the end of the line is
reached. The Office boy knew this, and
as he watched the prettily-tappercd
fingers throw back the carriage at each
tap of the bell he smiled with ficndish
glce.
1t was late in the afternoon. The
young lady was industriously tapping
the keys to finish the firms correspond
ence. She had reached the last letter,
and remarked to the office boy that her
best young man was going to take her
to the theatcr that evening. Hence her
hurry. This only made the office boy
time had come. His eyes seemed to say:
"Revcnge is sweet The young lady
slipped the sheet of paper in to the ma
chine. and began at lightning speed to
write from her notes.
The youth watched the carriage slid
ing to and fro. He took from his peck
ct a rusty nail, and, as the typewriter
wrote on unconsciously, he tapped the
bell lightly with the nail. The young
lady, never thinking, pushed the paper
up another line and went on. Again
the boy tapped the bell, and again the
young lady turned the machine. This
was kept up until the maiden had writ
ten all there was to write.
A small figure had sneaked easily
out of the door. The blonde withdrew
the sheet from the machine. She looked
at it, and looked again and saw before
her a letter written something after
the fashion of the latter day step-lad-
der poetry. Not single line was prop
erly written. The girl grew thought
full. She seemed to remember that the
bell had wrung a trifle oftener than
usual. She looked about the room and
then she remembered that the office
boy had once upon a tim e gone to y
ba sc ball game and had remarked SUBJ
scquently that he would get ever.-

THE FOx-TERRlER.
1t Ia One of the Most Useful Well
Most Popular of Dogs.

1t Ia One of the Most Useful as Well as
Most Popular of Dogs.
OF all small dogs the fox-terrier is
the most engaging, and for many years
has been the most fashiona BILE compa n
ion for young men. He was originally
kept an addition to every pack of
fox-hOunds, and was used to worry the
fox out of a hole when in the chase
Reynard had gone to ground. OF re-
cent years, however, the fox-hound has
developed SO much speed that the little
terrier can not keep up in the chase.
For awhile a huntSman used to carry a
fox-terrier on horsebacx to be used in
case the fox went to ground, but nova
days, in hunting countries, fox-ter-
riers are so numerous that one can al
ways be had for the huntsman's use in
any neighborhood. The fox-terrier is
the most gentlemanlike of all dogs,
and his clearly habits make him well
come wherever he is known. He is
also as courageous as possible. The
writer once saw at the Central Park
menagerie a small fox-terricr chained
in an elephants cage. The two were
evidently good friends ordinarily, but
something was wrong the day the
writer saw them. The terrier was ly-
ing in his corner evidently in the sulks.
The elephant, with comical twinkle of
his eyes, would pick up straws with
his trunk and drop them on the
dog. The terrier for awhile shook
these off, and merely growled.
Then, his patience worn out,
he jumped out and DASH
ed at the elephant with savage anger.
He went as far as his chain would let
him. The huge elephant backed as far
as he could into a corner, and seemed
to be trying to make himself as small
as possible. But there was q twinkle
in his eyes, and there seemed to be a
smile on his face. The fox-terrier tug
ged at his chain, and acted as though
he would eat that elephant up if he
could get at him. 1t was a most COM
ical sight. There is no better dog to
destroy vermin, and he courses rabbits
with much zast. A good fox-terrier
puppy costs from five to one hundred
dollars. Mr.. August Belmont several
years ago paid in England five hundred
guineas for his dog Lucifer.-Harper's
Young People.
