THE WISDOM OF BUDDHA.

Lead others, not by violence, but by law
and equity.
Good people shine from afar, like snowy
mountains; bad people are not SEEM like
arrows shot by night.
Better than living 100 years, not seeing
the highest religion, Is one day in the life
of q man who sees the highest religion.
AS the bee collects nectar and departs
without injuring the flower or its color or
scent, so let a sage dwell in the village
Let a man overcome anger by love, let
him overcome evil by good, let him over
come the greedy by liberality, the liar by
truth!
Long is the night to him who is awake;
long is mile to him who is tired; long is
life to the foolish who do not know the
true religion.
Let wise man blow off tho impurities
of his self, as smith blows off the i'm
purities of silver, one by one, little by lit
tie and from time to time.
AS the lily will grow full Of sweet per-
fume and delight upon heap Of rubbish,
thus the disciple of the truly enlightened
Buddha shines forth by his wisdom among
those who are like rubbish among tho
people that walk in darkness

1t is really surprising how drone like
habits will supercede common sense in
road building and repairing. First the
time that custom or convenince has set
for road repairing is so late in the season
that we have poor roads all the year
round. Again when road machine Is
put on the bitches are cleared out In a
shiftless manner and the shoulder" OF
the road Is left to turn the water back
into the rutted centre Of the road. Then
the turf that is dug out of the bitches is
TERED up along the middle of the road.
Turf has no place in road bed any more
than SO many carloads Of toad stools and
it is put there in such an inconsiderate
manner that it is the worst possible null
sance that turf in a roadway can be. Then
someone arrives at the conclusion that the
water should be turned into the ditch and
not be allowed to roar adown the middle
of the highway like a mill race, which it
would do In case of heavy rainfall, for
in very many places the centre of the road
Is several inches lower than the Should
er." Now why they don't construct a
granite dam across the highway and from
six to eight feet in height and establish a
carry around 1t, we are at loss to say.
They do what probably to them seems the
next best thing; erect dam about three
feet high squarely across the road. To
ride over this at other than snail pace is
to run the risk Of dislocating ones neck.
Frequently the centre of this dam curves
crescent and is capable of holding
enough water for a respectable duck pond
Now why it never occurred to these good
people that with a properly graded road
bed the water could easily be carried off
by means of shallow trenches meeting in
the centre at an apex and resembling an
inverted V with the apex pointing up
hill we do not know. These remarks do
not apply to all who undertake to I'M
prove our roads. Those to whom they do
not apply will not take offence but there
are roads not days ride from Augusta
where we think these criticisms do apply
and are willing for the travelling public
to be the judges both Of the justice of the
criticisms and the wisdom of the sugges-
tionS
