The Matter Of Good Roads.

While this journal, says the Call.
fornla Fruit Grower, has all along
taken ground In favor Of lettering
cur public roads, 1t will be remem.
bercd that IL has held throughout
that good roads must cost u good deal
of money. In fact We have more
than once pointed out that such cost
would be much greater than has gen.
orally been assumed, and we have
cautioned counties proposing to vote
bonds for road improvements not to
expect to accomplish too much with
. limited supply OF money Apropos
Of all this VIC quote the following
from the Chronicle Of San FranciscG
Mr.. Pope, tho gentleman who 10
the interest OF the trade In bicyclex
has been avitatiDg for good roads, will
probably read with some surprise the
report Of the Ohio Road Commission
recently made to Governor Mckinley.
That body after exhaustivciy exam.
lining into the matter has concluded
that 1t would require about 81. 600
mile to construct good rOadways, and
that this would necessitato an ex.
penditure Of ut least $500, 600, 600 Il
provide the State Of Ohio with nc
effective road system. This amount
the Commission regards as pr0hibi.
tive and arguing from this prOhibi,
tive cost and the waste which would
naturally he incurred by depending
on horse power for transportation
purposes, 1t recommends instead the
laying Of steel rails on highways and
the substitution Of steam, electric Of
other inanimate power TOR tho horse
system Of transportation. As the
statistics collated show that the cost
of moving freight by horse Is almost
25 cents per ton.mile, and only about
Q cent per ton mile by steam, the
recommendation seems sound II Il
will not harmonic with those OF the
lOudest advocates of good roads who,
after ali, are thinking more OF the
comfort OF the cycllst and the owners
of carriages than Ut the interests Ol
the farmer.

Smoking Hashcesil.

A favorite sweetheart lie obtained
by making an infusion OF the plant
(Canabis indlca) In hot water, to
which butter or oil Is added. Tho
resin attaches itself to the melted
butter or oil, and, when evap0rated,
ia kneaded with -four and spices into
cakes or pastllles, called ''majun."
Simple infusion of the leaves and
Towering tops are also made and
drunk In many parts OF India by old
and young alike at some Of their fes-
tivais Just as alcoholic drinks are too
frequently used In our own country
on similar occasions.

MEMORIAL SERVICES.
A Large Number Gathered at The Congrega-
tionaI Church Sunday Evening.

The G. A. R. memorial services were
held, Sunday evening, in the Congregational
church, and were attended by very large
number, many being obliged to stand. Seth
williams Post marched from its hall, two
abreast, headed by the Sons of Veterans Of
Henry G. Staples Camp. At the church
the s. of v. formed in line at each side of
the entrance and then the POST passed into
the church, followed by the camp.
The order of exercises was according to
the programme printed in the JOURNAL of
Saturday. The singing was very fine.
The sermon was preached by Rev. c. S.
Cummings, who took as text, Honor to
Whom Honor is Due" He sail we are some
times forgetful of the honor we should pay
to the American soldiers whose resting place
are marked by monuments and tombstones.
Their deeds of honor are truly worthy of
commemoration. The interesting pages Of
history pay tribute to-the honor of them.
The memory of the gallant dead i, here be-
log called TO Inc mluu oI Tue living, Chrlst'
ianity stands to respect and honor the So.
diers who faced hardshps and struggled
for liberty, which we today prize so highly
and may well feel proud of. Everywhere
something lived where something died fol
it. Something dies that something greater
might live. This is the case with the he.
roes of the war. How highly some little
plot of ground is priced and cherished by q
loved mother or fond wife for some one
who died on the field of battle. The men
who entered the field of action. fought and
died, did 90 for righteous cause.
Mr. Cummings sermon was very fine
one and interestly delivered.
