NARROW TIRES MAKE BAD ROADS.
How to Change Narrow to Wide Felles at
Small Expense.


Mr.. Thomas B. Parker, in paper
read before the Burlington county n
} board of agriculture, gives the fol-
lowing views on good roads and their
maintenance:
LIN 1888 | was owner of one-half
part of the Salem and Philadelphia line
of the United States Mail stage and
handled the ribbons over good four horse
teams for seven years, travelling 30
miles day, 10, 920 miles year and
7G, $40 miles, or more than three times
the circumference of the globe, in the
seven years. 1t was in this travelling
that studied the cause of bad roads
and the remedy. Narrow tired wagon
wheels are the real cause of bad roads.
They Will sink into the ground and
make deep ruts in wet weather, and III
dry weather the sand or dust falls back
into the rut after the wheels pass and
partly fills up the rut. Therefore wagons
on the level ground are constantly NOV
ing up hill.
The remedy Is to remove the cause.
Petition the legislature to regulate the
width Of wagon tires. With five inch
tires on the sand ton can be hauled
with ease where with the narrow tire an
empty wagon is load. Tires should he
wide enough to keep the wheel on top
of the ground, and without making a
rut will roll the ground hard and smooth
from side to side. The regulation tire
should be five inches for the one horse
wagon, six inches for two or three
horses and seven inches for four or
more. One horse carts should have six
inch tires, and trucks for carting mar BILE
or granite should have six inch for one
horse, seven inch for two or three, as
all the pressure is on two wheels.
IAN two horse stagecoaches should
not have less than six inch tires Light
carriages may have two inches. The
change Of width Of fellies could be &C.
complished without taking the fellies
of the wheels at small cost. To change
q two inch to six inch facing Of two
inches on each side Of the felly car be
securely fastened so that the folly will
be as good il not better than new. A
bessemer steel tire six inches wide and
one-quarter inch thick will cost but lit
tie more than iron, but will outwear
iorn and be much stronger. With such
law, grade all public roads from one to
three rods wide, according to the travel
when sandy mixing in clay and with
clay adding sand. The center should
be from four to six inches higher than
the outside. After grading the road
should be rolled with cast iron roller
6 feet long, feet in diameter at each
end and 3 feet 8 inches i'll the middle
The concave of roller will suit the radius
Of the road. The weight of the roller
should be six or seven tons "

Tradition of Fox Islands.

In the winter of 1872 the Peno bscot
bay was frozen over SO completely that
people drove down from Castine with
sleds to Spruce Island, near Islesboro, cut
their winters wood, and hauled it back.
Tradition has it that during this 1912
freeze, the foxes in which the Fox Islands
abounded, and from which it obtained its
name, left the islands aud crossed to the
mainland on the ice, which was proba
bly, the manner in which they originally
reached the islands.

Mission of Good Roads.

Roads are tho connecting links that
bind communities together in bonds of
love and in unity of spirit. Roads be-
long to all time, They are the ways by
which men have advanced and Will ever
advance, and we who wish to leave
some worthy memorial TO posterity,
something which shall endure when our
lives are but memory, can bequeath
nothing that will be more beneficial
than good roads. Colonel A. a. Pope.

The frenzied mob had seized the muir
deress. Another moment, and the fatal
moose would be about her neck. "Stay!"
she cried. The woman was glaring into
their faces defantly. "Look YOU" she
cried, her voice rising almost to a shrek,
II am a living picture by calling" A
shudder ran through the throng, for it
was composed largely of persons who had
tried to hang pictures before.

N.AaLy a PANIC.
Actors Rehearsing Play Cause Excite-
ment In Chicago Hotel

Actors Rehears1ng EIaS NAuSs 1A4oA~0-
ment In a Chicago Hotel.
There came near being panic in the
reading room of the Great Northern the
other day. Archie Boyd, the actor who
used TO play Den Thompson's part in
''The Old Homestead" and who starred
last season in a new play Of his OWL
called 1.-The Country Squire, - was here
some weeks ago to consult Con 7. Muir
ply, the playwright, as to alterations
In this play He wanted new second
act, and after talking matters over with
Murphy he left the latter hard at work
on his manuscript at his Lake Bluff
home
One day last week BIS wired Murphy
that he would meet him at the Great
Northern at a certain time and read
over the altered play with him. The
author was on hand at the appointed
tine, and so was the star. Together
they repaired to the reading room and
set about their task. Mr. Murphy read
quietly until his enthusiasm overcame
him Then he threw caution to the
winds and exclaimed:
My God, you have stolen my ehildP'
A guest from Oregon, Ills, looked
Up from a letter he was writing to the
folks, and then he edged uneasily to-
ward the end of the table.
"'Tis false, roared Boyd II am no
kidnaper. "
"You 1iel" exclaimed Murphy in
loud tones, throwing the manuscript
aside, and the man from Oregon started
for the door, while commercial man
from Toledo leaned back in his chair to
see it out
The author and star had shifted to a
quiet love scene, when Landlord Eden
came in at the request of the Oregon
man to see what the trouble was. When
he told the latter what was up he apol-
agized profusely and wanted to buy pop
for the party, When Boyd plays in
Oregon, the stranger will be in the au-
dience. Chicago Times.

BOARD OF EDUCATION.

Important Business was Transacted at
the Session Held Last Night.
There was lively and very import
ant session, of the board of education
held last evening, The item of business
which brought on the most heated dis
cussion was resolution offered by
President Wilson to the effect that tie
board certify to the assessor and col
lectOr in the manner provided by law
that the district will need from local
txation for the school year commenc-
ing July l, 1895, 1900 in addition to
the territ Orial and county funds in
order to be able to run the schools four
terms, to make needed improvements,
for the payment of the obligation of
s., 000.00 now owing the Commercial q
Savings bank and for contingent eX-
penses.
The discussion arose mainly over the
manner in which this subject had been
brought refore the board, some
holding that it is the duty of
the finance committee to re-
port upon this matter and let
the board adopt what recommendations
the committee may make, if the recon-
mendatiO1s are satisfactory, The
finance committee held that it could
not report upon this matter until the
report of repairs needed and other OUT
lays recommended had been officially
presented to the committee upon which
report they would base their estimate.
There was some lively discussion also
over the amount, and the resolution was
amended to read $4,000 instead Of
$1,000 before it passed.
Mr.. GIaZier offered a resolution
which passed to the effect that the COM
pensation of the members of the board
be fixed at $500 each per quarter.
Hardy moved to make it $1,000 per
month. Lost.
Next came the report of the commit
tee on sites and buildings above refer
red to which caused the discus
sion upon parliamentary proceed
ure, the contents Of which
report each member well knew. The
committee found that the whole seat
ing capacity Of the city schools is 1853,
while the school population of the dis
trict, according to last enumeration, is
l 900 in addition 10 the children over
Is years or age and under school age
who attend the schools. Allowing for
the private schools it still leaves an ex-
cess of population over seating capacity
Of about 400. 1t was recommended
that the second floor of the Tlmpa-
nogos schoolhouse be completed at "a cost
Of about S1,500.00. 1t was recon-
nended also that the Franklin be re.
at cost of about 81 200 on;
The building of another stairway
hn oil q
in the Parker school |
house was also recommended at |
a cost of $1,000. The report also stated |
hat another school building is needed |
n the south or southeastern part of |
he city, but the committee could not |
lnder existing conditions recommend
hat it be built. The report was &C.
;epted, but not adopted.
Some claims were allowed and other
outline business transacted.
