AS now constructed the French roads
have the following points in common:
A macadam roadbed from IA to 81 feet
wide, about inches thick, and having
a crown of in 90, a pathway on each
side from 81 to ~ feet wide, and gen.
orally raised five or six inches above the
gutter, in which case the latter is paved
with pitching for width of three feet.
In case the pathways are not raised
above the roadways there are no cutters,
but the water drains across the paths
into the bitches on either side. These
bitches are usually square in section,
about 4 feet deep, and arranged in falls
on steep grades.-Professo N. M. Neff.

Governor Ladd on State Roads.


In an article entitled "a Typical Case"
in Good Roads, Governor Laid, Of Rhode
Island, has some common sense views
on the question of highway improve
ment, with special reference to his own
state 1t is in the country where good
roads are most needed, he says, that
bad ones are found. Occasionally an
enterprising town may attempt to inn
prove its roads, but there is little en-
enlargement for it if adjoining towns
do not take like measures, and in
sparsely settled regions the question of
money is serious one. The governor
offers this suggestion:
State roads, or at least country roads,
would seem to offer a solution of the
difficulty. A glance at the map Of
Rhode Island will show a splendid sys-
tenn of straight thoroughfare turnpikes
that were laid in the stagecoach days.
Most of the older states have such sys-
tenn, neglected, however, since the rail-
roads came in. Put in repair and prop
erly branched, these large arteries would
drain most of the country to which
l have referred and benefit as well
the state as a whole. In their original
objects and in all their engineering fea-
lures these roads are distinctly state
roads. And l think it would be profit
able for the state to redeem them or to
establish similar comprehensive sys-
tenn. The larger communities would
thus bear the greater share of the bur-
den of maintenance, as they would de-
rive proportionate share of the benefit,
the prosperity of all the many smaller
communities directly contributing to the
prosperity of the larger.

whore the Opposition Comes From.

The opposition to the expenditure Of
money to make better roads does not
come from the cities, which would have
to pay nearly all the expense, but from
the farmers. Both country and city
would be greatly benefited by improved
roads, and each should bear its share of
the burden of taxation.

OF no great courage, cunning or force
of character. When speak of bulls
moral qualities, it is no idle word.
Bulls are of three kinds, and whenever
new bull jumps into the ring the
people know by his first movements
just what kind of n bull he is. Bulls
are levantados, parados and aplomados
Just as men are needless, indolent
and we'll balanced.
The levantado, the giddy or thought
less bull, rushes Immediately, with a
high head, across the ring. He makes
in turn for every side, he leaps and
dashes, often comically. Then he
charges on the horses and the men
who ride them. He is an easy bull to
kill. His adversary knows how he will
act-he is bull who jumps directly
at the last thing taking his attention.
The parade, or lazy bull. comes on
in little trot, then stops, wheels
around and returns to the gate whence
he emerged. But it is necessary to
distrust a lazy bull. Sometimes he
becomes irritated in the very midst OF
his laziness, and then he is terrible

Oldest Mason in the United States.

The oldest Freemason in the United
States, Alma Adams Treat, was born
in Hartford, Conn, April 8, 1897. In
1923 he became a member of Apollo
Lodge of Troy, n. Y, and he is still
member of that organization. In
1925 he married Miss Jane RELAY, OF
Troy, who died October %, 1890. For
a number of years Mr.. Treat has lived
in Denver, Col, with his daughter,
the wife of Doctor Burnham, of that
city. He is the oldest churchman in
the West.
In early life this nged Mason was
engaged in the picture frame buiness
in Hartford. He was one of the foun-
ders OF ''the Troy Looking-Glass Man
ufactory." In 1880 he removed to
Syracuse and engaged i'll the grain
trade. Subsequently he resided in
Ohio and Indiana, going westward
with the population OF the period. He
was eighty years OF age when he began
the writing of poems of an anniyer-
sary and descriptive character. His
description of the Rocky Mountains
and the poem written on the ninety
sixth anniversary of his birth have
been published.

who come in after three or four or
seven horses have been killed are ban
derilleros. The coming of each set of
men is like new act in a tragedy.
And their coming and their going are
marked by long hourishes of trumpets.
Each of the banderilleros holds two
beribboned darts, which he must stick
in the bulls neck. 1t is a matter of
great skill and danger. ] saw q ban
derillero ruined for life at Madrid in
the spring Of 1892. The reason why
they prick she bull with these steel
darts is to make him ferocious after he
is tired. 1t is trying thing to watch
the daring and the danger o! the ban
derilleros. The bull comes with arush
upon the nimble fellows, who evade
him by hairs breadth. Each evasion
aud each trick of their bravado has its
name, and is applauded by the thou
sands on the benches.
The trumpets blow again and the
drum rolls. 1t is the entrance of the

the high professional who holds the

fers. After the Paris Exposition Of
1889 when they (the Duke of Veragua
and others) were trying to maintain n
permanent bull ring in the City of
Light, there was an outcry in the
papers, saying that such cruelty was
not in the French character. The
Courier FrancaIs brought out car
toon by Willette, which, being circu-
lated throughout Spain by humane
Spaniards with missionary zeal, pro-
voked the bitter curses Of the popu-

pada," or "swordsman," in bull ring
with dying bull behind him. He
was starting back, in guilty fright,
from fair, shadowy female figure
representing France. She pointed to
his sword, which she had broken at
his feet, and said: "The sword is not
for the butcher I"
The matador must kill crazy ami
NAL. The bull is weakened, but the
banderiileros with their darts, have
gixen him temporary strength, which
comes from his aroused ferocity. For
a few moments he is stronger even
than at first, although it is strength
that cannot last. In these few mo-
ments, full of danger, the espada must
dispatch him. Do not talk of cow

The seaps Strong Sense OF Smell.

"Among the many singular traits Of

'Done are more striking than the de-
votion of the male to its offspring,
contrasted with the apathetic atten-
tion paid by the mother. The latter
will at the least alarm bolt away into
the sea and leave her babies behind

the swarming herds of young and
nothing can exceed their devotion and
courage when called upon as protect
ors. The sense of smell possessed by
the seals is very strong and will in
variably wake them out of sound
sleep, even if you come upon them
ever so quietly to the windward, and
you will alarm them in this way much
more thoroughly, though you be a
half mile distant, than il you came up
carelessly from the leeward and even
walked in among them, they seeming
to feel that you are not different from
one of their own species until they
smell you. The chief attraction in
these animals is their large, handsome
eyes, which indicate great intelli
gence. They are deep blush black

opponent. There is no counting with
him then. His character is changed.
The aplomado, or level-headed bull,
however, is the most dan gerous OF all,
Nothing is more splendid than his en-
trance to the ring. He stands before
the public with his head thrown up,
without excitement. His air is SO ma
jestic that the people shout. He
scarcely notices the enemies, but
seems to look entirely at the audience,
as if to ask their admiration. Then
pounding on the ground with his fore
feet, he rushes surely at the spears

dous neck and shoulders. He israther
small than large. His horns are
straight and sharp, and he is quite
quick and tricky. They haunt their
cloaks before his face, escape by a mere
inch; they jump the fence. But for
the horse there is no escape. The
horses are moor creatures, ready for
the shambles. They would be killed

it is to give the people themselves n

Then he comfortably settles on his

he is dead.
The matador is walking round the
ring and bowing, while cigars, oranges
and hats and flowers rain down on
him by thousands. II is n way the
audience has of showing its delight
and admiration.
The fighting bulls of Andalusia have
their breeding places chosen for them
MS if they were young princes with
taste for natural scenery, or gods mas
querading, rs they one time did, in
bovine shape: No valley is too fresh
and sweet With odorous herbs for them,
no stream of mountain source too vir-
ginal and cool for their hot youthful
hides to wallow in. The young bulls
have even chaperons to keep them
company and keep them ont of harm.
There are the cabestros, very intelli-
gent oxen, who fulfill toward them the
Office of guide, philosopher and friend
from their youth up. As soon rs
young bull goes beyond the limits Of
his natural pasturage these cabestros,
without even an order from the guard
ian, dash after him, ringing their
bells which hang from their fat necks.
They soon surround the young de-
serter, who, without the least resist
ance comes back with lowered head,
as il he were ashamed.
The usefulness of these cabestros is
no less even in the bull ring. From
time to time young bulls are tested in
the ring, with leather balls around
their horns. A crowd of boys climb
down from out the audience and show
off their skill by teasing him and slip
ping from him. There is not much
danger for the boys, excepting broken
ribs, and for the bull there is not even
pain. They tease him with their coats,
but may not strike him. But he gets
excited, rushing furiously, and you
cannot make him leave the ring. Or,
as it sometimes happens, brave and
intelligent bull at real fight is spared
his life at the demand of the audience,
or disables two men or kills one. In
each case he must go free. But it
would be in vain to try to drive him
from the ring. Yet it is sufficient that
these good old oxen should appear
ringing the remembered bells Of his
childhood for the young bull or the
old bull to hasten to join the group
again and run out to the stables, after
short trot roun the ring.
