with the mile, half mile and block
marks The mile, 1O2, is 81 miles. and
the house number, los, is So miles from
thu county sea
The settlement of the country or the
growth of towns along the roads does
not interfere with the system. Within
the town, the town streets and town
house numbers govern. When the
town limits and streets are passed,
and the country road reached, the
country house numbers govern. The
first one used depends upon the dis
tance it may be from the courthouse,
the starting point of measurement. and
they continue regularly from that
point When a Dad enters 4 town the
town streets and numbers govern until
its limits are passed again, when the
country road, name and house numbers
are resumed, the numbers always de-
pending upon their distance from the
starting point. In this way a road may
pass through half n dozen towns, and
the numbers on each side of the towns
always indicate the true position of the
house and the distance from the COM
mencement OF the road.
Directories of the country houses can
be easily made, and, by knowing the
exact distance and having carefully
named road signs to guide, country
travel will be accompanied with much
less of the blind cropping methods
which it is o necessary for strangers
10 follow.

SAYINGS OF A SAGE.

ORNAMENTAL characters are full OF
weak spots
If the tongue could kill not many
would live to old age.
THE trouble with people that can
talk is that they are apt to say too
much.
THE world is full of lion fighters, but
it is hard to find people who won't run
from u hornet.
THERE are preachers who would make
several radical changes in the plan Of
salvation if they could.
EVERY new acquaintance we make
has the power to tell Us something we
didn't know about ourselves.
FRIENDSHIP prolongs life. The clock
would have run down long ago II some
friend had not wound it up.
IoU can't always tell how mitch re-
ligion people have by the amount of
rain they will go through TO get to
prayer meeting.
IN somc respects friendship is better
than love. The world is 4 house just
large enough for m lover, but there
is always a vacant room for another
friend.-Ran's Horn.

AN EXCELLENT SCHEME.

A Cs~Iirernian's Plan of Numbering Ccun.
try Houses
A practical method OF numbering
country houses and making country
roads has been established in Contra
Costa county, Cal. This rhethod-kno3n
as the ten:block system-has received d
countrywide attention and sanction.
BESIDES the great convenience which
the system has given the residents OF
Contra Costa county: 1t bids fair to be
one of the greatest aids in the further
ance of free rural delivery that has get
been suggested. The plan was devised
by A. L. Bancroft and was carried out
by private citizens, officials giving their
appreciation as soo as the new scheme
was seen to be successful.
In this Textbook system the roads
are first named, there being as little
change made as possible as they pass
through different towns. The hunters
begin al the county sea- or on branch
roads at the end nearest to it. The roads
are measured and blocked off, there be-
ing ten imaginary blocks of 52s feet
zach to the mile. These have only
frontage, not depth or thickness. The
numbering is in order from the court
house or county seat, the even numbers
on the right and the odd upon the left
side. The same numbering is observed
whether the blocks are occupied or not,
thus providing for the building of
houses on vacant lots. Where nore
than one house occurs in a block, the
alphabet is brought into use as 1o1 a,
l0l b, etc. There are twenty road
numbers to the mile. On the fence or
post marking a division of blocks the
numbers are placed on either side Of a
line showing the division. On the right
the post Is marked 1O21i04; on the left
iO11lOS. At the end of each mile. or
ten blocks, an y is printed inside a
circle. The half-mile is indicated ty a
V in a semi-circle.
BY this exact division it is a very sim
pie matter to calculate the distance.
As there are two numbers in each
block, divide the house numbers by
two, which will give the number Of
blocks from the starting point. There
being 10 blocks Ia the mile. divide this
result by 10 or point off one decimal
and the distance in miles and tenths is
shown. If a house number is odd. add
one to complete the block before divid-
ing by two. The accompanying cut
shows a section of 4 Contra Costa ' bad

The Annexation Treaty safe with the
Senate.

WASHINGTON, Feb. IA careful can
vass of the members of the senate APP
pears to indicate that the Hawaiian
treaty will be ratified with several
votes more than the necessary two
thirds to spare. 1t is understood that
members of the foreign affairs commit
tee have sounded the temper of the SEN
ate and found that this conclusion is
without doubt. The limit Of the oppo-
sition is put at twenty votes, while
other senators, more sanguine, believe
that those opposed TO the treaty cannot
muster vel that number.
There is a feeling on the part of some
senators that a question of this i'm
portance to the American people, an
plifying, as it does, the Monroe doc
trine, should not be discussed behind
closed doors and under the protection
of secrecy of an executive session. Ac-
cordingly an effort will be made to
have the whole subject debated and
acted upon in open session.
Another reason for an open session
is found in the statement of n senator
vino says that it is possible that som,
votes might be cast against annexa-
ton in secret that would not be cast
that way if the proceedings were sub
jected TO the scrutiny Of the people at
large.
