Lesson to BE Learned from Rome.

A lesson in the wisest political econ
omy may be learned by survey of the
Roman roads. They were so planned
and constructed that even to-day their
remains are eloquent of Roman glory.
OF those who first trod upon them even
the dust has crumbled into nothing

pay tribute to the enduring strength

Important Discoveries Recently Made In
England and America.
Probably in no department Of re-
search is greater amount of investi-
cation going forward and valuable
data and actual discovery being made,
says the Mark Lane Express, than in
dairy science, and while some of the
discoveries have been of little or no
value, wonderful amount of useful
and practical material has been placed
In the hands Of the dairyman. Among
the things announced, since it has
been shown how nearly the ferments
and fiavors in butter are associated, is
that if certain acids are added to sweet
cream it is not necessary to wait for
the development of Tactic bacteria in
the cream, but that it could be churned
at once and churned quite readily and
the true flavor secured. Investigators
have been at work on this problem,
and an announcement of the results has
been made. The most satisfactory re-
suits came from using hydrochloric acid
diluted in twice its bulk of water, and
adding this in small quantities to the
sweet cream. Everything was salts
factory, except that the butter had no
aroma, though it was pronounced fair
and good by the judges. The butter
kept well and had a water content of
1917 per cent; but the low flavor was
against it, though not a trace of the
acid was to be detected or found by
analysis. About the most important
thing brought, out was that butter
seems to be fully dependent upoa
bacteria for true flavor rather than the
food, provided that the latter is whole
some and not of a character to impart
obnoxious flavors to the milk, which,
after all, could not be called butter
favor in any sense of the word.

HIS FIRST LOVE.

years, he was most gallant and do.
voted wooer, while she was the ten
derest and most confiding of damsels.
The course of their true love had run
very smooth, for their mothers, old
schoolmates, had laughingly betrothed
them when little Annie was but three
years old.
Harry was an orphan, but his uncle,
DR.. Benton, had adopted him at his
mothers death, and filled the place of
the father, whom the boy had never
seen. The doctor was an old man, and
regarded his frank, generous nephew
as the apple of his eye. He was not
wealthy, but his practice was good,
and he was able to give Harry a col
lege education, and looked forward to
the time when his nephew could take
his place,
Annie Ashley was the only child OF
the village lawyer at Burnside, who,
his practice being very small, specu-
lated freely, sometimes losing, some
times gaining. Annie was his pet, and
he loved her fully as well as DR.. Ben
ton loved Harry. His schemes for her
e ducation were in the eyes of the viii
layers wonderful, for he proposed
sending her to fashionable seminary
when she was old enough.
Accordingly, Annie, at fifteen, was
sent to : noted institution, wherein
young ladies are taught various useful
and ornamental accomplishments; and
Harry, to his great joy, was sent to
college to begin his medical education.
The young friends met often, and
were frequently invited to the same
parties, and fell in love with each
other anew every day.
While affairs were thus progressing
the holidays called the lovers home fol
q visit. Harry had passed through his
college course and graduated with hon
ors, while Annie was quite show
scholar at her seminary. But they
found trouble in store for them al
home. One of Mr.. Ashley's specula'
tions had succeeded beyond his utmost
expectations, and he found himself
suddenly man of large wealth. Al
soon as his daughter returned home
he announced his intention of making
with her, the tour of Europe, declaring
pompously that no woman's education
could be considered complete until sht

in that humble capacity. He then
shipped before the mast as common
sailor and went all the way to Califor-
MIA in that capacity. 1t was rough
experience for a boy only 16 years old,
but he was hearty, healthy, ambitious
and strong, SO he did not mind the hard
ships. When he reached California he
went to Oroville, where he engaged in
business and rapidly prospered. He
then engaged in banking, mining, mill
ing and steamship business. During
the past 30 years he has been building,
buying and operating steamships in the
Pacific ocean, from Mexico, California.
Oregon, Washington and British Co.
fumbia clear up to Alaska. He was
elected governor of California in 1879,
and was appointed to the senate in 1893
to succeed Senator Stanford, who died
while member Of the senate. His term
of service will expire March 4, 1897, but
he will probably be reelected to succeed
himself for a full term of six years.
Senator Perkins is one of the most un-
pretentious men have ever met with
in public life. He has no GOODNESS or
diffidence in private conversation; but
on the contrary is as entertaining as
any man in private life could be, and il
his presence no one can feel embar-
raised because of his high position. As
matter of fact, the poor boys who have
made their own fortunes and become
prominent never assume the "airs" that
are put on by some who are born rich.
Senator Perkins is an orator of great
ability and when he addresses the senate
receives the respectful attention of
large audience.
Senator David Bennett Hill, of New
York, is man worthy of his great rep
utation. When only 81 years old he
was admitted to the bar, began the
practice of law, and was appointed city
attorney of Elmira. He has been in
public life, almost constantly, and has
acquitted himself creditably on all &C.
casions. When he was first elected to
the senate, his critics said that he would
sink out of sight in that august assem-
blage. He did not sink. He is not a
sinlSer. He quietly attended to his SEN
atorial duties until the silver fight of
1893, when he participated in debate
and gave utterance to strong opinions.
When the tariff debate of 1894 occupied
the attention of the senate, he spoke a
number of times, and then received rec
ognition for his true worth. He had
been called nothing but politician;"
but then he showed himself to be a con-
.stitutional lawyer and statesman equal
to the best men who had ever held posi-
tions upon the senate floor. He refused
to vote for tariff bill which included
the income tax clause, and concluded
his speech by saying: Sink or swim,
survive or perish, cannot and viii not
vote for this bill" He was the only
democrat who voted against the meas
ure. Since that time the supreme court
has sustained Senator Hill, BY declaring

the income tax unconstitutional. He
is great man. but Hike many other
great men is not appreciated for his
real worth by his own generation. We
do not always elect our greatest men TO
the presidential Office. Blaine Thur
man, Clay, Webster and others of like
renown could not reach the white house.
No greater men of their generations
achieved the honor. So it seems viii
be the case with the great senator from
New York, who has aspired to the high
est honor in the gift of the people. His
party, as whole, does not seem to have
appreciated him at his true worth.
Senator Orville II. Plat, of Connec-
ticut, has been senator for IS years,
and viii probably be elected to succeed
himself for a fourth term. The SEN
sible people of the New England states
and of the southern states are
accustomed to retaining their good
men in public life until they become
strong and influential in national af-
fairs. But the people of the middle
states and of the western states have
