Some of the Results That May Follow the
Machines Use.
Some persons have expressed a fear
lest the wide distribution of an appara-
tus capable of echoing all sorts of
music, in q more perfect fashion than
any music-box, might lead to the
gradual extinction of piano-playing or
violin-playing. except for purposes of
public exhibition, the photographic
echo of some great performers work
being SO much superior to wha\ most
people could hope to accomplish. 1t
seems to me that the contrary would be
the result. Cheap monographs, giving
more or less perfect echoes of music,
might make superfiuous the painful at
tempts-painful to others as well as to
herself-of the unmusical young wom-
an to master impossibilities.
To the person of real musical in
stinct and capacity. the wealth of good
music would certainly prove an incen-
tive. When the graphic music is
cheap, the housewife can listen to
Rubenstein as she darns the stockings
in the evening, and get supurb lessons
at the great fountains of musical art.
if she has any taste that way.
There is no reason to suppose that il
will be any more difficult to record a
performance of ''Die Meistersinger''
than a recitation by Coquelin, or Bee
thoven symphony under Bulow's baton.
There is a good time coming for the
poor man of good taste.-Philip G.
Hubert, Jr., in Century.

FARM AND GARDEN.
FAIR ROAD TAKES.

erssident Bates Oders Some Sound Argu-
ments ON the Subject.
have observed in various papers
complaints by farmers that bicycle men
Ill advocate better roads, but bicycle
men propose to make the farmers pay
tor the roads Hence some farmers pro-
pose to tax bicycles and apply the pro-
seeds to making better roads.
If roads are to be made by taxing
those who ride over them no bicycle
man will object. But such q tax must
necessarily be q special tax, like the
toll taken ON toll roads. And the only
fair tax Of that sort is by taking toll,
20 that the user of the road pays exact
ly for SO much as he uses. 1t must be a
toll tax on all vehicles, and all beasts,
and all pedestrians. If one is taxed
for using the road, all road users must
be taxed alike. Beside, the tax ought
to fall heaviest ON those who most
damage the road by using it. A BIZ
cycle does not damage the road at all:
. laden wagon does. So does horses
hoof, or that Of any hoofed beast.
Further, the law should make q fair
distinction in the object and result OF
road use. The farmer uses the road
and damages it to make money for him
self. So does every business teamster.
They get benefit in actual money
gain from every good road. The
cyclist uses the road solely for enjoy.
ment. He makes no gain from it, and
it would manifestly be unjust to levy a
special tax on him. Now, cyclers do
not desire good roads at the expense OF
the farmer. Bicycle advocates of good
roads are generally in favor of the
adoption of the county system of road
taxation and management. Under the
county system the whole county is
made one single read district and the
entire property of the county is taxed
equally for the highway fund. This
makes the heaviest cost fall upon cities
and villages and not upon the farmer.
The justification of such law is that
good roads benefit everybody who owns
property, whether they all use the road
or not. The merchant of the village,
the man who owns house or lot in
the city, equally with the farmer-all
have tho value of their property and
business increased by good roads In
the orange district, where several mil
lions of dollars have been spent in the
last ten years making good roads, the
official records of the county show that
the value Of the property of the whole
county has more than quadrupled with
in the last eight years owing to these

What Hon. Samuel w. Allerton Thinks of
Them.
The Hon. Samuel W. Allerton, the noted
capitalist OF Chicago, arrived over the Bur-
lington Route few days since and during an
interview with ''Star" reporter said: "You
here in these waters. have had the oppor-
tunity of travelling some over the United
States and have visited q great number Of
its health resorts with springs which are
claimed to have medicinal properties, but, in
my opinion, you have water here that is su-
perior to anything in this whole country, II
not in the world, for the cure Of rheumatic
Affections and diseases of the skin My
attention was first called to these springs
by an intimate friend, Mr. Spencer, VINO
owns a large cattle ranch west Of here. He
had a man on his ranch that was so badly
here in a helpless condition. He was bathed
in the old Indian bath for several weeks.
and he went home entirely cured up, and
resolved that il ever l had rheumatism
in my family, would try Hot Springs, South
Dakota. We brought Mrs. Allerton here
ns soon as she was able to come at all and
have found that all Mr.. Spencer said in
reference to the curative properties Of the
waters has been realized in my wife's case.
She says she feels as though she has just
had been called upon to endure excruciating
torture-every joint and muscle racked
with pain so that life was q burden. No,
think Hot Springs future is grand one.
Its air is pure and wholesome. its scenery
lively and inspiring; sleep comes without
and building up Shattered constitution.
You do not talk enough about the value Of
your waters for skin troubles. I, myself,
received great benefit from them last year
in short visit there. Your climate makes
you infinitely superior to the Arkansas Hot
Springs, and in u country where so many
thousand are afflicted with Rheumatism and
other kindred ailments, if your advantages
are made known, there is no question but
that you will become the foremost health
lighted with our trip here and what your
waters have done for US and will make fire.

The total yearly road tax amounts to more
than hundred and twenty million dollars!
And these are the roads we get for our money
Scene in the suburbs Of Philadelphia in the
spring Of 1891. Drawn from photograph
road improvements, while the value of
the property directly along the lines of
the good roads has increased over six
times.
The official records always show the
same extraordinary increase in the val
ues of property, wherever good roads
have been constructed. And this is also
noticed: Farmers always resist and
complain before the good roads are con-
structed; but, after the roads are made
they are the strongest supporters of
the new system. Nothing could induce
them to go back to the old conditions;
and the complainers and resisters are
thereafter confined to city and village
hang-baclss In Michigan we have one
county that, in spite of resistance by
farmers, got the privilege, by special
act of the legislature, of spending $780,
600 for stone roads. They spent the
money and the supreme court of
the state pronounced tae act unconsti-
tutional, and then up rose the farmers,
having been convinced by once trying
the effect of SO much good road, and
Joined in strong petition to have the
state constitution amend cd SO that their
county might be permitted to bond it.
self for more hundred thousand dollar
good road expenditures! Meanwhile
those farmers who got the benefit of
the first hundred thousand dollars
worth of good roads ''cut swells'' and
chuckled: Don't you wish you could
get it?" over the farmers not on those
roads. D.
Well they may, since the official valua-
tions prove that lands along these roads
haye enhanced in value more than
double any other farm lands in the
county.-President Bates, in Chicago
