somE REAn PRoGREss.

Conspicuous among the good things which the present legislature of this State has done is the passage of the bill providing for a beginning of the much needed improvement of the roads of the State. And fitting supplement to that action is the passage of the ''wide tire" bill, which will do much to decrease the wear and tear on the improved roads. The bill provides that on and after the first day of July, 1896, all vehicles used upon the high ways of this State in the transportation of merchandise. except such vehicles as were already in use within this State prior to said date, shall be equipped with tires of widths as follows: All vehicles having an iron axle two inches square or an axle of equivalent capacity shall be equipped with tires not less than four inches in width. All vehicles having an iron axle of one inch and three-quarters square or an axle of  equivalent capacity shali be equipped with tires not less than three inches in width. All vehicles having an iron axle one inch and a half square or an axle of equivalent capacity shall be equipped with tires not less than two and one- half inches in width.
 This Is very reasonable action. It does not affect wagons now ih use. and it gives time enough for all con cerned to prepare for the new deal With better roads and wider tires the people of Connecticut will make a great step forward. The reform has been slow in getting start, but that 1t is finally in motion is matter for hearty rejoicing.

 MIN KiNYED.

"What constitutes a State?" asked the poet, and then answered, AMen, high-minded men, The poet spoke truly. and it should be always remem- bered that men of good quality are more important than social or legisla- tive schemes to regenerate the world. In his baccalaureate sermon President Angel called the attention of the grad uates of the University of Michigan to the chief need of the times. There is, he truly said, in some quarters too much disposition to coddle men with the idea that for the overwhelming majority of us there is any way to gain an honest living except to work for it, day in and day out, with all our might, And he further said: What I am deprecating is what seems to me an increasing ten dency to substitute for the old-fashion- ed American individuality and enter prise and pluck, which hewed down the forests, builded towns and cities, a weak and whining dependence on Utopian schemes of legislation or social recon struction for our prosperity. What we need is not so much new laws or new social devices as to keep up the race of men, brave, intelligent, industrious, ca- pablo of standing squarely on their own feet and breasting the storms of life. So long as we can rear these we shall have laws and 8 social organism ade- quate for our needs.
 These are words of truth and sober ness. Strong, high-ninded men can make a country something like what it should be. And it may be pointed out that beer, cigarettes end lascivious carriage are not favorable to the mak- ing of such men.

As USUAL.

In spite of the fact that water is water and cannot be walked upon in these days some said that Yale had a "walk-over" on the Thames yesterday. She certainly had "cinch."
 Poor Harvardl Not long ago she was taking very high ground in the matter of athletics and it looked as if she would not disgrace herself by any more vulgar struggles fer cheap victories. But she came off her perch and has again disgraced herself, and Is without even the consolation of cheap victory. She would have done better to stay in the upper ether and be as good as she is fair.
 This "Yale supremacy" is becoming monotonous. It has, however, its ad- vantages. One of them 's that 1t Is hard work to get up much noisy enthu- siasm over that which IS Q matter of course. So the celebrations in New Haven of Yales victories on land and water have lost much Of their former dreadfulness. A few tin horns are new blown and few flrecrackers exploded. But there Is now comparative quiet where once was pandemonlum. This is much appreciated by those whose en- thusiasm doesn't run to Chinese noises. Last night the city was almost as quiet as Cambridge, though the atmosphere wss much lighter than the gloomy air of that sorrowful place.
 Why cannot Harvard row? should be the question before the house at the next great debate between Harvard and Yale. If the Harvard orators could an- swer that question and do it in such way as to make Yale oratory seem small the affair would be both interest ing and compensating.

 OF A WoMAN's INVENTION.
 A new system of writing, by means of which the blind can communicate both with those who can see and those who are sghtless, has been invented by a French woman, Mile, Mulot of An giers. It has been thoroughly tested, and is found to be as perfect a method as could be devised.
 The first to propose a practical meth cd of writing for the blind was Louis Braille, who sixty years ago was a pupil at the institute for the blind in Paris. His idea of writing was also applied to printing, and the Braille type, forming embossed letters, has long been in use. But all systems of writing taught to the blind, up to the present time, have been intended for those unfortunates who read only by touch. Mile. Mulot's very simple invention, however, enables them to communicate with those who read by sight. The mental frame employed has square perferatlons arranged In parallel lines. These squares are in dented on the four sides and corners so that the blunt stylus used in form ing the characters may De guided in making horizontal, vertical and diago- nal lines. The Roman alphabet Is used as these may correctly be made with straight lines, angles and slight curves. By moving the stylus from one angle of the perforation to another, and from the little notches, it is possible to form all the letters, large and small, with ease and accuracy. The blind are taught to write from right to left of the sheet. A pad of plotting paper laid under the writing paper brings out the letters in relief on the side opposite that on which they are written, so that on reversing the leaf the letters are found in their proper position. When the writing is intended to be read by seeing eyes a slip of carbon paper is placed between the plotting paper and the sheet on which the characters are formed. The writing is thus not only brought out in relief, but the letters are colored as on a printed page. Mile Mulot's method solves problem long puzzled over by educators of the blind, and is as simple as it is satisfactory, Like the paper bag, the wire sitting basket and score more of simple and useful inventions; the wonder is that it was not thought of years ago.

Miss Minnie Gertrude Kelly. appoint ed by Commissioner Roosevelt, is filling the positions of secretary and stenogra- pher at the police headquarters in New York city. She does the work of two men employed under the Tammany reg ime, and receives Q salary of $1,700, which will be a saving of S1.200 per an- mum to the city, The most remarkable thing about this is not that a woman is doing the work of two men, but that her salary is somewhat largev than was paid to each one of the two. There is encouragement in this and in some oth- CT hopeful signs of the times to believe that the days are nearly over when ca- pablo and energetic women will be ex- pected to do double duty onl half pay.

Professor Max Muller asks for money to photograph, the inscriptions of the Kutho Daw, near Mandalay in Bur
 nah, before they are destroyed. The Kutho Daw is q collection of over 700 Buddhist temples, each containing a white marble slab on which part of the Tripitaka, the great Buddhist Bi- ble. is engraved; together they give the entire work, which consists of 275,2OO stanzas, or S,808,0OO syllables, nearly fifteen times the bulk of our Old Testa- ment. The language Is the Pali of the fifth century before Christ, believed to have been spoken by Buddha; the char acters are the Burmese letters, and the text was revised by learned com mission. The monument was erected in 1857 by Mindonmin, the predecessor of King Thebaw, but the dampness of the climate is rapidly effacing the in- scriptions.

The Boston Herald calls attention to the fact that California is by a law of the State bound to the gold standard in her money dealings. This law was passed during the war of the rebellion with, the purpose of protecting the State from the infiation that prevailed at the East, under the issue of paper money by the government, and, being support ed by public opinion, it became effec- tive. California's debts at that time, both public and private, were always paid in gold, and this about doubled the income of eastern people who had investments in that State at the time. Yet California is now claimed by the siIverites as favoring a silver basis.
