"It is more blessed to give than to receive
SO we are told, and never do we appreciate it
more than at Christmas time. But the full
meaning of the adage comes home to us about
the evening of Christmas day Then is deliv
cred present from some friend, and, we ad-
mire its beauties, the thought suddenly comes
home to Us that. through some mistake, we
have forgotten to send this same friend any re-
minder of the season. Then are we over
whelmed, and, fguratively speaking, clad in
sackcloth and ashes. Verify, it is more blessed
TO give than to receive.
Luckily, custom has given us loophole by
which we can escape the modification of hav-
ing received without giving. We can purchase
something during the week b5tween Christmas

would something in jewelry strike you? Il

LOCATING ROADS.

In surveying for railroads, canals or
water bitches the most eligible route ia
invariably selected, and in the old world
the same rule is observed in laying out
the public roads; but in this country
our highways are usually located with
out much regard to the surface forma-
tion or topography, and too frequently
without regard to distance. The wishes
of individuals have more to do with
locating roads here than the convent

the only consideration. Personal de-
sires should weigh but little In the mat
ter of laying out lines OF road for public
use when the interests of the public are
on the other side. Farms. would, OF
course, sometimes be cut irregulsrly by
laying out roads with view only to
public convenience, but that should
make ne difference; the public ought
not to be put 10 disadvantage to please
anybody.
In the newer portions of the United
States the practice has sprung up OF
locating roads on rectangular lines only,
usually on section or quarter.sectlon
lines. This habit comes from our
system of public land surveys, the
lines of which are uniformly in accord
with the points of the compass. This
plan OF laying out public roads oper-
stes in many instances very badly, as it
often increases the distance to be trav-
elled between points, immensely. Take,
for illustration, the road between Holly
wood and Los Angeles, Hollywood
lying to the northwest of the city. The
road between the two places is now all
the way on rectangular lines, as if you
were TO travel directly south till you
reach point directly west of the
city, and then turning east, max
ing the two sides of right
angled triangle. The greater distance Of
these two sides combined over the hy-
potheneuse 10 at least q mile. Now let
uH see what the public lose by this arbi-
trary way OF laying out the road in this
instance. At very moderate calcula-
tion a hundred vehicleu pass over this
road each way daily, making extra travel
in the aggregate of 200 miles a day. In
a year this amounts to $4,000 miles, or
about three times around the world; in
ten years to thirty times around the
earth, and in hundred years, how
much
The loss OF time, the wear and tear
upon teams and wagons, to say nothing
about the effect upon men, each
year would far outbalance all
the cost and Inconvenience of open
ing direct road between the
points named. There should be some
such rule as this established by law /:
That when the amount OF the damage to
the public from an indirect road in q
single year equals the cost of opening
direct road, such direct road should be
opened without further showing. The
Inconvenience suffered by the public
from indirect and out.of-the.way high
ways is something appalling, and yet it
is so divided up in the community that
people take little account of it.
