able and proper construction of ouT wagons. carriages, carts, etc X wagon should have wheels with very wide tires The two front wheels should be Set under the wagon about 30 inches apart, the hind wheels remaining as they arc now. If this is done, the hind wheels will roll down the outside ridges left by the front wheels, and both front and hind wheels will cover the tracks made by the horses hOofs, and instead of cutting the road will render it smooth. The front tires might be even 10 inches wide and the rear la inches in width
 There arc two things with which We have to deal in reference to the condition I of our country highways The one is bad roads, which will never come into q good condition as long as We retain the mar TOW tires. The other is wide tired wagons, which will improve our rua.l, permanently. Which will the pc,ople sc lcct:
 What n blessing would it be not only for our own country, but for the whole | world, if the universal adoption of wide tires would give us better roads, reduce the taxes and diminish the work of keeping the highways ill good condi- tion throughout the entire year. By the use of vehicles as they are now constructed the roads are spoiled even in dry seasons, as the narrow cutting wheels will grind the surface of the road To dust. Wheels with tires 10 and l2 inches wide cannot grind the road. therefore not make so much dust. and hn will with every rain be pressed upon the road like layer of asphalt
 Every rain and every load will help to pack the surface of the highway more firmly. The farmer will be able to draw his loads at any time of the year and not depend half as much on the weather as he now does
 The meaneSt roads We have in win ter, when after a spell of I.iry weather n frost sets in Then our roads are n veritable torture to man and beast, all the natural consequence of our present fashionable vehicles If they only had q reasonable un,lcrcarriagc with wheels wide enough and arranged aS q roller in sections, we would not have tO endure such awful roads.

the Strike Order.
 NEW YORK, July 1.-The report that General Master Workman Sovereign had issued an order calling out all the Knights of Labor in the United States In order to strengthen tho hands of the American Railway union met with anything but an enthusiastic reception in this city and in Brooklyn.
 In this city the element which controls District Assembly 49 will respond, it is said, with alacrity to the call, and several of the trades will go out If necessary, al- though they all fear that 1t will have lit tic Influence on the result
 In Brooklyn, however, tho men gener- ally are not well pleased, and Master workman Reilly of District No. 2aO, which includes all the railroad men in that city, says emphatically: It will not be obeyed- must say that the movement Is III advised They are not fighting em- ployers now. but the government, and in such struggle we have no part But even If that element had not appeared in the strike matters are so bad here that 1t would be the height of folly to take such step.

THE Dominion of Canada was twenty seven years old on July ?. and the union of the provinces was celebrated with be- coming patriotic spirit by the Canadian people. Our own great national holiday follows so close after Dominion day" as to suggest the appropriateness of merging the two holidays into one. It was only by the narrowest chance that Canada missed the opportunity of joining with the thir- teen colonies in 1776. It is not too late to repair the omission or the error that has kept that magnificent country under the dwar6ng pressure of imperial rule. All her interests impel her towards commercial and political union with the great state on the thither side of the St Lawrence and the lakes.

ADVANTAGES OF WIDE TIRES.

 the Expense of Repairing.

The hind wheels cut exactly into the same ruts which the front wheels have made.
