what It Costs to Repair Poor Roads
in One County-Good Advice.

While public debt is, as rule, to be
avoided it is often merely matter of
arithmetic to show that it sometimes
NAYS to create a public debt. Frederick
conntv. Md, for instance, spends about
so5. GOO q year in repairing roads, At 4
Nor cent the county could borrow 5000,
600 for $50, 600 year With $500 900
il could make $50 miles Of macadam
road, which, with the present turnpike
roads would probably cover all the i'm
portant roads of the county The sum
If s., 600 would then remain, without
increasing present expenditures, for re-
pairs or sinking fund.
Such policy as this is not an expert
ment. 1t has been tested in New Jersey,
and the result in the public esteem is
shown by the extension Of the system
This leaves out of consideration the saw
ing to the farmers and other taxpayers
effected by good roads. By being able to
reach market in the winter season. by
the saving in time, horsefesh and We
hicles, it is estimated that the average
farmer can save far more than enough
each year to pay his whole tax bill. 1t
is only question of time that the New
Jersey system will be introduced into
MARYLAND, at least into those rich coun-
ties where there is plenty Of stone. Bal

The human mind becomes hardened
and Indifferent to suffering, but it is al
ways glad and brightens up when it hears
news concerning poodles or kittens. For
instance, if ! tell you that a woman and
her two children were burned to death
in tenement-house fire yesterday, you
will sigh perfunctorily and pass on. But
if go on to say-as | do-that a poodle
dog, who assisted at the fire, carried seven
little kittens to place of safety, you will
read every word with the keenest in
terest. You will he delighted and amused
to hear hat each of the seven put up its
back, bristIed its tail, and tried to scratch
the altruistic poodle.-Arthur Brisbane, an

BUSY BAR HARBOR.
A Quarter of a Million to be Spent
in improvements.

A Quarter of Million to be Spent
in improvements.
There is plenty of work, and conse-
quently money is much more abundant
than is usually the case in Bar Harbor
this winter. About one-quarter of
million dollars will have been expended
here by spring.
The biggest job of all is the building of
Mr. Pultzer's bath room. About one
hundred men are now employed there,
and there will proba bly, be as many more
as soon as there is chance for them to
work
The scheme is to excavate down to low
water mark a hole nearly as large as
"Chatwold" itself. This will be about
fifty feet deep. Much difficulty has been
experienced in the digging. The banks
have caved in, men have struck, but they
have at last got to the bottom and are
building the wall. The work is progress
ing SO slowly that it is proposed to put in
electric lights SO that men can work
night as well as day.
| In this cavity is to be the plunge bath,
steam heated, also the luxuriously-fitte
dressing rooms, lounging rooms, etc,
that go with luxurious bathing. Over
this is to be erected a magnificent stone
residence for Mr.. Pulitzer's exclusive use.
1t is even said that there is to be one
room made absolutely soundtight, where
the great chief can HE away from the
sordid cares of the "World" and be at
peace with his soul-or at war with it
and no one be the wiser.
Outside this plunge bath is to be the
immense swimming pool open to the sun
and air and connected by pipes with the
mighty deep. All this work is to be done
hustling.
The Emery cottage, which has occupied
the attention of about fifty men for over
year, will also be finished by June, and
will be a magnificent structure. Its
owner, John J. Emery, of New York and
| Cincinnati, plans to spend six months of
the year here. The stable compares
favorably with most of the Bar Harbor
summer residences. 1t will cost when
completed 100000
Another stone cottage is being erected
on the apex of Highbrook hill by Major
Montague Wheeler, Corps of Engineers,
| t. $. A.
Carroll Mclcher, of Washington, d. c.,
is having a cottage built for occupancy
next year; also Alexander Merely, of
Boston.
Large improvements are being mnda on
the cottage recently purchased by Mrs.
Bowler, and great deal of work of less
importance is going on.
About sixty Italians have arrived and
have begun digging up The streets for the
big improvements being made by the Bar
Harbor water company They plan to
expend about so 00C Lefore another sea-

Grade OF Drains.

If possible, give the bottom Of your
drain ditch fall OF at least six inches
for each 100 feet Of length. A fall Of
three inches will carry the water, but
with light grades extreme care must DO
