Practical Advantages of Good Roads
Strikingly Set Forth.

Practical Advantages of Good Roads
Strikingly Set Forth.
The practical advantages Of good
roads are strikingly set forth by a
writer in Lippincott's Magazine, the
vicinity of Moorestown in New Jersey,
being selected as an illustration. This
is in Burlington county, ten miles from
Philadelphia. Radiating from Moores-
town are twenty-four miles of good
nacadamized roads, built by an issue
of town bonds and by means of tho
state aid law of 1891. Before these
roads were constructed real estate in
the neigh borhood of Moorestown was
absolutely dead; since they were built
it is much in request, and near the
town almost city prices have been paid
for land. The contrast in this respect
between Moorestown and other towns
possessing equal natural advantages is
great Furthermore, instead of four
horse wagons built to carry so q
bushel baskets, farmers Whereabouts
now use two-horse wagons carrying
l25 baskets of the same size. Argu-
ments Of this kind cannot fail to make
an impression on the minds of people
in all farming communities Just the
same results as at Moorestown might
not follow everywhere, but something
approximating to them surely would,
if good roads were provided. The long
and short of the matter is that good
roads pay. This is now matter of alb
solute demonstration Y. Tribune.

A CERTAIN FAIRY.

There's dear little fairy with very bright

Who lives In the schoolroom and sleeps on

Where they shut up the books V uich, to make

The children must look at and handle them
selves.
And morning by morning, at nine OF the clock,
The small fairy wakes and springs down to

For the lad and the lassie in jacket or frock
Will need her to aid them ere task time Is

The sternest of masters she'll never disturb,

THE ENGLISH CUCKOO.
A Selfish Bird Wanting Everything All
for Itself.

for Itself.
The English cuckoo "sings as she
flies" and the English people are glad
to hear it's voice, Cuckoo! cuck-oo!'
because it tells them that the spring has
come; but no good children can like its
mean, ugly ways.
The mother does not build nest OF
her own, as all respectable birds should
do, but lays her eggs in the nest of
some other bird much smaller than
Iherself.
When the young cuckoo is Matched,
before it has feathers, or even gets its
eyes open, it feels around to see if
there is anything else in the nest; if it
finds eggs, it manages to push them
over the side of its stolen home. If a
young bird is there, perhaps its own
sister or brother, the naughty cuckoo
works its body under the helpless
creature, and by dint of backing and
pushing, contrives to get the poor
thing out of the nest; down it goes on
the ground and is killed, unless the
nest is low; then it becomes chilled and
dies. Over and over again the murderer
slaughters it's victims until 1t is left
alone in the nest. "Such mean,
selfish, disagreeable bird!'' you say.

who would like to keep everything for

st will give you an impetus to make
off. Pass the first staff on your left
side, the second on your right, the
third on your left, the fourth on your
right, the fifth on your left, the sixth
on your right, the seventh on your left,
the eighth on your right, the ninth on
your left, and, finally, the tenth on
your right. From here make the best
of your time in getting to the winning
post. This finishes the ordinary SER
pentine race.
A variation of the game is known as
the rotary serpentine race, the object
of which is to make a complete circle
around each flagstaff. This, performed
in an ordinary way, would make you
giddy-a thing to be avoided OBJ
serve, therefore, the directions laid
down, and the result will be, instead, a
pleasurable one.
Start as before, passing the first
staff on the left, encircle it by passing
to the front of it, then, retreating back
ward pass it on the left again.
Running diagonally across, pass the
second staff on the right, encircle it by
retreating backward when at the front
again. Run across to the third staff
and pass it on the left, encircling the
staff backward as befOse, and then run
across to the fourth staff. Pass it Oh
the right. Follow out these directions
with the remaining fagstaffs, taking
care to encircle each backward and in
addition to the above directions, pass
ing the fifth staff on the left side, the
sixth on the right, the seventh on the
left, the eighth on the right, the ninth
on the left, the tenth and last on the
right. Then sprint to the winning post.

use No. annealed galvanized wire,
strung the distance apart l wish the
wires to be. l use on the end of each
wire an iron spool. The wires go
through the end post and are wound
on the spool. / use long, broad sta
pies, but do not drive them home, so
that the wire is loose from one end TO
the other end. To keep the wires from
spreading so that animals can crawl
through, fasten them together with
pieces of the same wire cut three
inches longer than wish the wires in
the fence to be apart. One end of
these wires is bent in the shape of a
letter U, by bending it in hole bored
one and one-half inch deep, in one
half inch round iron. Unless one use
something to keep the wires in place

a fat piece of iron screwed to one side
