The first step in securing better results is

this article Is, therefore, to bring clearly to
the minds of the friends of road reform
the difficulties which confront them in
reaching practical solution of the problem.
When these are fully and clearly appre-
hended a great step has been gained. and
the attention of all who are interested in
the subject will be turned toward the com

an friends OF the movement. and from
which the DIFFICULTIES which confront them
can be met and mastered
Common Ground of Action.
What is this common ground? How shall
we meet the difficulties which have been
herein suggested? 1t would seem. with
the short experience OF the state of New
Jersey. under her well-considered act NJ
the 18th of April, 1891. as amended on the
10Th of March, 1892. that county control
supplemented by state aid will meet the
difficulties which exist in most of our Older
states. at least such as have been enuner-
ated herein. County control In the LAYING
out OF the roads seems to be essential TO
any well-considered system Of highways
communicating with the principal cities
towns and villages therein, and state aid
would enable the wealthier Communities
to come to the help of those less able to
bear the burdens of well-constructed and
well-maintained roads.
The visit of the Secretary Of Agriculture
and the governors of neighboring states
alluded to In the beginning of this article
was made for the purpose of seeing the
practical results of New JERSEYS lesisla

visit could reach the public in a form en- 81

be gained In the direction of imnarting
information in form which would he

practical than the publication of the laws

that such Information will reach the nub-

carry with it the impression which ought

THE kEARSARGE'S ARMOR.
How 1t Was Afterward Used to Pro-
tect n German Man-of-War.

tect herman 1lan-O1-H ar.
From the New York Herald.
The history of the Kearsarge has been
so many times told that it seems like tax
ing owls to Athens to attempt to say any
thing new about her. There is. however. an
item of interest connected with this famous
vessel which, SO far as l am aware, has
never appeared in print.
A number of years ago while stopping in
a little mountain town in Germany L be-
came acquainted with Chief Engineer A.
Gebhardsbauer Of the imperial German
navy. He recalled to me that when the
kearsarge fought the Alabama OF Cher
bourg anchor chains had been placed on
both sides Of the kearsarge in order TO pro-
tect the boiler and engines from the enemy s
fire.
A long time after the battle when the
Kearsarge was lying off the Azores Islands,
the anchor chains which had done such good
service were removed, and were delivered
ever to the care of the United States consul
at Fayal. They remained in the consular
storehouse until July, 1870.
At this time, just at the outbreak of the
Franco-Gernan war, the German wooden
frigate Arcona arrived at Fayal The Ar
coma was one of the old type of wooden war
vessels. Mr.. Gebhardsbauer, who was chief
engineer of the Arcona, was ordered by her
| commander to rig up something to afford
protection for her engines in case the Arco-
ma should fall in with a French ship, IL be-
ing the intention to proceed to Germany at
once.
In a search for material in the storehouse
of Mr.. Dabney, the United States consul, he
found the old anchor chains of the Kear-
sarge and Immediately secured them. They
we're placed on the Arcona exactly as they
had been OH the Kearsarge, and in a short
time she was ready and sailed for the
Fatherland.
The Arcona met with neither adventure
nor trouble of any kind on her homeward
voyage, but she remained in service, and the
chains were kept on her until the close of
the war, afterward being turned over to the
navy yard at kiel as old iron. They were
still there In 1888. and several indents made
by the shot from the Alabama could still be
seen in theTn.
The log book of the Kearsarge does not
show that the chains were disposed of as
have stated No mention whatever is made
of the disposition made of them. Further,
the records of the State Department contain
nothing on the subject.
The facts remain, nevertheless, and now
that the old ship has gone, it would seem
highly proper that everything in the way of
relics of her should be in the possession of
| this government Portugal courteously re-
| turned the gun Long Tom of the brig
Armstrong. and Germany would undoubted-
ly do the same with the armor of the Kear-
sarge.

the cold comfort of a free library thrown in.
Yet the soberest social reforner catches a
half-sympathy with revolution and anarchy
when he thinks OF her lot. Meanwhile, she
makes her life pleasant and careless as
possible. applying herself cheerily, as it
were. to stitching body and soul together.
Who They Are.
They are not milliners and dressmakers
alone, but makers Of mems goods from
trousers and caps to military uniforms. en-
broiderers and artificial flower workers SIM
pie plain sewers at the machine, or those
who piece and patch. Perhaps not one in
twenty Of these girls ever touches a sew
ing machine or knows how to work it They
are. for the most part, the daughters of
working people. or little shopkeepers, who
cannot afford TO keep them after they are
fifteen years of age; or they are girls too
often who find themselves alone and with
out resources in the capital They begin by
an apprenticeship, happy If they have learn
ed enough at home or at school TO enable
them to earn few cents day from the
Beginning. What determines them to enter
their particular form of employment or to
be workers at all. instead of taking step
higher and going into commerce" as they
say, is force Of circumstances. love OF free
dom, lack of education, or lack Of ambition.
The Legal Working Day.
Until a reformatory law of two years ago.
which has failed in practice, the legal day
of work for these girls was twelve hours.
When work was slack it might run down
to ten hours; but at all times in the busy
season It was sure to be twelve and a half,
with over-work and scant over-pay IN the
night. But in the best shops, even during
the crowded year OF the exposition, there
were not more than $50 to 200 full days of
work. Late December and January are al
ways dead months in winter, and August
and early September in summer, because

Is q mystery of Partisan womanhood from
fifteen on to twenty-five. They live on the
hill of tIontmartre, or at Clichy or Batig-

they come trooping down toward the
