the way, would be his retiring When he is

found impossible to furnish each Member
with copy OF the papers the matter cannot
be discussed in the Council unless by the vote
Of OF the members present and with the
consent Of the Government. This shews
also plainly that the Council decides even if
the matter had not been before the Members

The Chairman said that s s refers to the

Renting Books.
Journal.

The publishers Of this city are begin.
ming to hear of booksellers who buy ex-
pensive works, not to sell, but to rent
out at 4 or 8 cents per day for the most
expensive ones. They do not mean to
initiate the English railway circulating
system, but have stumbled upon this
way Of getting money back upon books
they have bought, but have been unable
to sell. The experiment. is just begin
ming, but it is being tried in several
places at once, and the dealers all seem
to be making profits by it. In Atlanta
for some time past a man on n of the
main shopping streets has been turning
a collection Of secondhand books to good
account by renting them for a cent a
day. His books are Of every description,
but he finds that even paper covered
novels rent readily and return an i'm
mense profit. Authors will not like this
news, nor will they be pleased if the
new custom gains ground, as it has
abroad, for under the circulating library
plan one volume serves a hundred pos
sible buyers, and royalties shrink con-
siderably. New York Sun.

conditions. General Roy Stone, vice
president Of the National League For
Good Roads and United States special
agent and engineer for road inquiry,
department. Of agriculture, whose un-
firing efforts for good roads are we'll
known to all interested in the cause,
says of the work done by the confer
ence:
The conference was very conservative
in it's action and did not go beyond rec
ommending to the legislatures Of the
several states the establishment Of high
way commissions to consider what leg
i~slation and methods it might be wise
to adopt, and q general recommendation
for the organization Of road improve
ment associations and leagues of in
struction in highway engineering, to-
gether with a limited adoption Of the
state aid system. The general feeling,
however, appeared to be that the New
Jersey plan would be very strongly
commended by the delegates to their
respective legislatures during the COM
ing winter, and that as many as posi-
bic of those legislatures would be in
duced to send committees to New Jer-
sey, as was done by the New York state
legislature last winter, to inspect the
state aid roads and consult with the
state authorities and citizens regarding
that system.
The subject of convict labor on roads
was touched upon and aroused some diff
ference of opinion. The chairman of
the Massachusetts, highway commission
expressed the opinion Of that state as
decidedly opposed to the public use Of
convict labor, while the delegates from
North Carolina and some of the other
states spoke of the beneficial work &C.
complished in their states by means of
that labor. A compromise plan wa
suggested of using state %convicts for the
preparation Of road materials in quarry
camps where they could be easily guard
ed. In this case it was suggested that
the state should furnish the road mate
rial free to the counties and townships,
and that county prisoners, tramps and
Migrants be used for the grading and
preparation Of the roadbeds.
The Opelousas courier., 1894-09-08
Width of the Roadway,

The travelled part Of the road should
be of uniform width, and the two sides
should be parallel if possible. Some
times a width Of 10 feet will be enough,
but Is feet is about right where much
travel is to be provided for. In some
parts Of the country where the width Of
the highway between fences has been
fixed at 40 feet or more the roadmaker
is often tempted to make the wagon way
IS or 90 and in some cases even "a feet
wide, but unless special reason exists
in certain localities it is a waste of time
and labor to construct this extra width
and a perpetual expense to keep it in
repair.
In the vicinity Of large towns where
the wagon travel is great and in ap-
preaching railway stations where much
hauling is done it may be necessary to
make the width greater than Is feet,
but in most cases where the traffic is SO
important as to require an increased
width it will be good economy to abol-
ish the dirt road and substitute a SUBJ
stantial paved o. macadamized roadway
even at a round figure Of cost.

Frank and Literal.

An amusing story is given in The La
dies Pictorial of a little girl who had
been very naughty, SO that the aunt
whom she was visiting had to punish
her.
When she came to say her prayers at
night, her little mind was still full of
wrath against her aunt, but yet the
child did not quite like to leave her
name out of her evening devotions, so
she compromised matters by saying,
'Pray, God, bless father and mother;;'
then, after a long pause, she added,
land bless Aunt Julia, too, but not
much"
1t is perhaps natural that little chill
dren should expect their small supplica-
lions to be answered literally. We can
sympathize with the small boy over his
sums who said to his governess in a
puzzled, half indignant voice:
II can't do my sums, I can't, and I
did ask God to help me, and he's made
three mistakes aIready."

And There Was Light.

l was sexton of Grace church when
the Rev. Mr.. - was rector there. It
was a summer night and rather warm,
so when the rector commenced his SER
mon I turned down the gas in the body
Of the church to make it a little cooler.
The text was, if I remember it, "Let
there be light" I was sitting in. the
rear part Of the church, not paying par
ticularly close attention to the sermon,
nor, in fact, to anything else. Suddenly
the rector exclaimed loudly:
"More light! More light!'
jumped for the stopcock i'll the gas
supply pipe and turned on the gas full
head all over the church. Well, sir, you
ought to have seen those people! Some
of them laughed right out, and those
that didn't had hard work not to. I

A Fable.

Once it happened that as a sweet and
beauteous young maiden wa passing
along the highway she noticed a partic-
ularly deep and nasty mud puddle,
which the inhabitants of the place called
tPolitics."
T%hereupon the tender heart Of the
maiden was moved with pity for the
passersby, whose sight and nostrils were
offended by this grieyous thing.
So she spake unto herself and said:
''Behold, am I not fair and pure and
beautiful? Are not my garments clean
and spotless? Therefore I will cast my
self into this puddle and purify itP'
But when she had cast herself into
the mire and rolled in, it the effect on
the puddle was not perceptible, but the
effect on the maiden -!

Sterilizing Milk.

In these days, when the talk about
COWS afflicted with tuberculosis is SC
prevalent, there is one good rule to adj
here to-drink no milk that is not ster-
ilized. A regular sterilizer costs but
1$8. and ever that is not necessary. The
process is simply the applying Of boil
ing heat to milk for 20 minutes and
may be effected by the use Of a double
boiler, a sheet Of absorbent cotton be-
ing placed over the top under the lid to
absorb the steam and prevent its drop
ping back into the milk. It is a simple
process, and it means safety from the
possibility Of harm. Boston journal.

The veracious editor Of the Hawk.

lished the following notice: eve have
a good, gentle, family horse that we are
anxious to exchange for a good postum
dog or @ reasonable amount Of fish bait.
There is positively nothing wrong with
the horse but his voracious appetite.

two weeks, and he has eaten up three
loads of cypress shingles, two lot gates,

Better Than Equal Suffrage.

The men Of the present and the men
Of the near future must be educated to
know how g~rievously they are burdened
and hampered by the sorry roads which
connect village with village and farm
with farm, writes John Gilmer Speed
in a vigorous plea for good roads under
the title mud Imprisoned Women in
The Ladies' Home Journal. If the wom-
en- Of America will take up this work
Of education, the lessons will be surely
and proftably learned, and we will not
much longer be ashamed to have our
country roads compared with those Of
other countries. And there could be no
better time than this foEthe women Of
America to begin their Intervention in
this matter. The home is where the
best lessons are learned. Let the road
lesson be taken up at once.

Heavy Loads and Narrow Tires.

The Church road, running from Mer-
chantville to Colestown and Green Tree
O. Evesboro, being ashort cut for farm
ers throughout the lower end Of Bur-
lington county, N. j., is being badly
cut up, and it is not an uncommon
thing for a load Of five and even six,
tons to be hauled over this road on a AZ
inch tread wagon, load after load fol-
lowing in the same ruts. Tt has been
found that those roads having the heav-
lest travel are rutted worst, while those
on which there is most light driving
are raveled most, the action Of both
