The good roads movement in Con-
necticut materialized in the passage of
an act by the legislature, of which the
towns (townshlp9 are beginning to avan
themselves It provides that any town
with a grand list of s29OOOOO may appro-
pirate $1,000 annually for the Improvement
Of its common highways, and will then
receive an equal amount from the state
and from the county. Proportionately
assistance viii be given to towns Of
smaller grand lists or valuations. In
time, by steady work the roads of the
state viii doubtless be greatly improved,
though the amount Of assistance seems,
to say the least, exceedingly moderate.

half-mlles under state direction as prac-
tical illustrations to the towns of the

Reports recently received froia Central
America seem to point to the existence
of feeling In favor OF federation on
the part of the bulk at least of the in
habitants OF the republics there. The
latest advices from that part of the world
Indicate that the movement toward fed
Grafton among the republics has reached
such stage that draft OF the consti-
tuition has received the approval of the
presidents of three OF the republics, and
that II only awaits ratification by the
legislatures of those countries IN order to
be put in force. No details as to the
name or scope of this constitution have
come to hand, and, indeed, only the most
nleager Information as to what has been
done Is accessible at ell. 1t is understood,
however, that one object proposed by
the framers OF the constitution is the os-
tablishment of free trade relations, not
only with the other Central American
states, but also with the republic OF
NANNlSV, uuu psrnaps with tne OtAer Latln
American countries, As is usual in cases
like that now engaging the attention Of
public men in Central America. the ques-
tion OF finance, including that of arrang-
ing for refundlng the debts of the feder-
ating states, constitutes probably the
most trying question to be disposed Of
Whether this question is covered in the
constitution said to have been in part
adopted does not appear, Ordinarily a
provision Of that kind would form an
obstacle to anything like speedy agree
ment and it Is possible that It may be
left to future negotiation between the re-
publics, or possibly to future legislation.

''Where are you going. my pretty maidT'

For he was a youth, with whisxers new,
Silken as e'er the wind blew through,
But he wore the boomers, just the same,

So the man who had asked the question

Leaned his head against a lamp post
cold,
And he wondered. with his brain avhirl,
How he should know a boy or Sirl
In these forward iin-de-siecle days
OF trousered maids and youths with
stays.
OF a sudden lamp flashed in his eyes
Look out. young fehowr he wildly
cries.
As ne leaps aside TO avoid the wheel,

Ana then the man who again was sold
Leaned his head against the lamp post

Eleven thousand dollars were expended
by the Grand Army of the Republic for a
statue of General Grant which il was
intended to place in Statuary hail at the
capitol. After the statue had been made
1t was brought to the rotunda of the
capitol and here partially unlocked. Sol
dier after soldier who had served with
Grant during the war looked AZ 1t in
amazement and said that 1t bore no
resemblance whatsoever to the hero OF
Appomatox. The joint library committee
OF the house and senate,whose approval of
all statues proposed to be placed in Sta
tuary hail is necessary, viewed the statue
which was intended to represent General
Grant, and then unanimously rejected II.
They held that 1t did not in any way

trouble with 1t being that the sculptor

AN UNDERGROUND CITY.
The Singular Discovery Made by i'rus-
slams at Karkl Central Asia


Information.
In Turkestan, on the right bank of the
Amou Dlara, in a chain of rocky hills
near the Boloharan town OF KarlSi, arc
number OF large caves, which, upon ex-
animation, were found to lead to an
underground city, built apparently long
before the Christian era. According to
efligies, inscriptions and designs upon
the gold and silver money unearthed from
among the ruins the existence of the
town dates back to some two centuries
before the birth of Christ.
The underground Bol1haran city lg
about two versts long and Is composed
of an enormous labyrinth of corridors,
streets and squares, surrounded by
houses and other buildings two or three
stoiles high. The edldces contain all
kinds Of domestic utensils, pots, urns,
vases, and so forth In some of the
streets falls of earth and rock have OBJ
structed the passages, but generally the
visitor can walk about freely without
lowering his head. The high degree of
civilization attained by the inhabitants
of the city is shown by the fact that
they built in several stories, by the sym
-metry of the streets and squares, and by
the beauty OF the clay and metal uten-
sils and of the ornaments and colns,
