MASSAGE USETTs ROADS.

The good roads movement is making very encouraging progress in other Statessas we'll as in this. For instance in Massachusetts, where the last legis- lature appropriated $400,oo0 for improv- ing the roads, and the next legislature is to be asked for $1,OO0, 900. As the Republican and Democratic State con- ventions held this month both adopted a good roads resolution, and as the peo- pie of the State appear to be wide awake to the importance of the matter the prospect is good that S1,00o,00O will be appropriated.
 That the people of Massachusetts are eager for better roads is indicated by the fact that petitions for construction by the State commission have been re- .ceived from 230 of the towns of the State, or just about two-thirds of the whole Construction is actually going on in seventy different localities. About seven hundred miles have been petit toned for already, and localities which have been hostile, apparently from fear of the county commissioners that their prestige was to be interfered with, have come around to favor the com mission. 1t is expected that out of the 20,700 miles of road in the State, out side of the cities, about 2000 will ul- timateIy be taken under the care of the State, for it is part of the system that after these State roads have been built, the State is ever afterward re- sponsible for their maintenance. That is, about ten per cent. of all the roads will be parts of the State system. This is the proportion in France, says Pro- lessor N. s. Shaler, member of the commission, where 4S,0O0 of the 4S0, 900 of national and departmental roads are under the care of the national govern ment. The same proportion is observed in Austria. So that little over one- third of all the road that the State will ultimately build is petitioned for already,
 Connecticut mustn't let Massachusetts distance her in this matter. The start toward good roads in this State was very cautious and conservative one but by the time the next legislature meets there will doubtless be public demand for a large increase in the plan.

 Another Illustration of the capacity of New Haven children to see a thing that is right before their eyes might have been seen, and was seen on Crown street the day the Odd Fellows went to Waterbury One of the odd Fellows was prancing along on the sidewalk in the full glory of his gorgeous but Ill., fitting regalia, Three little rats of for eign race but of American perception, saw him coming and they promptly lined up on the curb, and put their hands before their eyes as if to shut out the dazzling vision, whose brightness was too much for them to gaze upon. And as the Odd Fellow passed by them they took a cautious peep at him and trembled in feigned terror as If they had seen the very God of War go by, Perhaps if the odd Fellow had seen them they would have shaken or been shaken in earnest, but he didn't and the satirical little pantomime was played through without interruption. It was good one, and it was evident that the little players had a very clear notion of some things that many of their elders don't seem to compehend.
 There is evidently hope for New Ha- ven when the children thereof know what a mouse ought to do to show his importance when he sees a lion tied up with rope, and when they can discern at a glance the philosophy and the poppycock of clothes.

more and more seems as If "a dress for
 every place and every dress in It's place" would be the rule.
 But the reaction in favor of simplicity Is not strong enough to down ornate novelty in street attire, and the dress that possesses that extremely desirable qualification is entirely successful For that reason the model here shown was chosen for Illustration Its fabric is
 beige cloth, and its skirt is ornamented with three deep tucks at the bottom, two more show at the top, and is lined with dark brown silk. The fitted bod ice fastens invisibly at the side and is entirely covered with brown silk passe- menterie, passementerie points also come on the skirt in front and form epaulettes for the full puffed sleeves. Ostrich feather trimming encircles the plain stock collar and the front of the bodice has a. crossed arrangement of pleated bias bands, the back remain ing plain Above this dress comes a hat that is only moderately large when it is compared with many of the mod els now offered by the best milliners. Of black silk beaver, it is trimmed with black and red striped velvet rib bon, and with two rich plumes SUD- ported by rhinestone buckle.
 Almost all hats are set on an inside band, thus lifting the brlm from the head little and also allowing the mill liner to really fit hat to the head
 Every effort is made by the milliners to keep a hat light weight, no matter how much seems to be on it or how big 1t Is. That is often the only difference, between the homemade and the im- ported hat. FLORETTE.

 Very curious and varied are the em- ployments pursued by women whom from necessity or preference have en- rolled themselves in the army of bread winners It seems to be determined that 8 woman worker may adopt what ever business she pleases, and if she makes herself proficient in it's details and devotes herself to its requirements with faithfulness and energy the world is ready to offer its congratulations upon her measure of success.
 Some of these occupations, one would think, would be the very last to be chosen by a. woman, but this may gener- ally be accounted for by the fact that the business was established by a father or husband or brother, and came, who'll ly or partly, into the hands of a woman who had a special interest in it and unusual opportunities for acquainting herself with its details. Thus we have women naVigators, pilots and engineers as well as grocers, watchmakers, flor ists and host of other business women whose occupations seem much more attractive and suitable.

General Miles said several good words for the bicycle in his recent little talk to the convention of military wheel men. T have heard it said" he told them, "that you cannot manoeuvre large bodies of men on bicycles. I have heard men make that statement, but there are some men who could not manoeuvre large bodies of men on horse, foot, bicycle or any other way. Bicy- cles can be used by men who believe in the bicycle, who have confidence in it, and know that it can be used for war purposes. It can be used in some places where a horse cannot be used The horse is of service in some places where the bicycle cannot be used. You can not swim a river on a bicycle, but you can conceal it there for several days, fish it up and ride away, which you cannot do with a, horse.

While for afternoon. house reception and ball dresses the fashions will re- main largely as they were, there is a reaction in favor of tailormade sim plicity and coat effects for the street. This is we'll, for it tends to emphasize the delicacy and ornate frivolity of the more elaborate gown. Coat-and-sl1irt gowns are being turned out in all sorts of cloth, but it is safe to say that ex- cept for gown that is expected to accommodate itself to several uses, vel vet and brocade will nto be cut in this way.

Certain brands of wine ought to be cheap this year. There seem to be great quantities of Bordeaux in some of the European cellars. as the owner of a large vineyard near Bordeaux has sent out circulars offering to send cases of 300 bottles of two-year-old wine to any town, even in neighboring Switzerland, for 130 francs. A slight calculation will show that this offer means that Bor- deaux can be purchased for about eight cents a bottle.

If the court of claims decides that the government must pay back to druggists the taxes paid on the alcohol which they have used in their business, it will make socae difference with the showing of re- ceipts. According to law such alcohol should be free of tax, but the secretary of the treasury has declined to make regu ations for exemption, on the ground that the government might suffer from fraud. It is estimated that during the fifteen months of the operation of the law, nearly s5,000,O00 has been collected if Secretary Carlisle had provided for the execution of the law.

Soft wood becomes stronger than hard wood under pressure. The case of a block of Oregon pine taken from the middle of an upright which formed 8 part of the timber support in the Comstock mines for twelve years gives an example of the effect of heavy pres sure on wood fibre. It is so hard that it cannot be cut with g knife, and one of its sides is polished from the squeez- ing it has undergone Yellow pine from the lower levels of the Comstock has been so compressed by the enormous weight that it's density exceeds that of lignum vitae.

Drunkards' retreats have now been in existence in England for fifteen years. The principle on which they are con- ducted is to make the patients stop drinking at once and to make them abstain entirely for long period twelve months when possible, keeping them busy during that time The pa- tients always come in an advanced stage of alcoholism. It has been found, as the Lancet reports, that no harm, but good, is done by the sudden and complete disuse of alcohol in such cases; that large number of the cases are permanently cured, and that habitual drunkenness in women is by no means a hopeless disease.

 Ex-Senator Butler of South Carolina thinks that the country owes debt of gratitude to Senator German and his associates in the work of so amend ing MT. Wilson's tariff measure that neither it's author nor President C1eve- land would recognize 1t, and thus, in- cidentally, giving the industries of the United States a chance. MT. Butler is quoted as saying that if the Wilson tariff bill had become law as It passed the house, "the business inter- ests of the country would have been involved in greater disaster than has ever been known" They would, and they have suffered enough as it is.

The Memphis silver convention

The Memphis silver convention
was quite a success in numbers,
enthusiasm and ability of the
speeches. 1t was a non-partisan
gathering, that is the only require
ment of delegates was that they
should be for free silver. Repub-
licans, democrats and populists at
tended and the discussions as well
rs the resolutions related exclu-
sively to the money question. The
principal speakers were Senators
Tilman, of South Carolina, Tur-
pie, of Indiana. Harris, Of Ten
ncssee, Butler, of North Carolina,
and Stewart of Nevada; Bryan, of
Nebraska, and Sibley, of Penn
sylvania. There were many others
of less note. The resolutions are
lengthy and unusually vigorous.
They were read by Senator Jones,
OF Arkansas, and demand free
coinage of silver at 16 to 1, with
out waiting for any other country.
A national committee was appoint
ed to press the work of organiza-
tion and education in every state of
the union, with power to call an
other convention at some time in
the future. The convention CON-
pletoly eclipsed the goldite gather
ing at the same place last month
and its influence throughout the
country, especially in the south,
will doubtless be felt and greatly
stimulate the propaganda for sill
yer.-Nonconformist.

The so-callcd Peoples Demands,
of Colfax, La, is ''agin" the great
New Orleans ballot reform conven-
ton because 1t took free silver
along with ballot reform. Must
be ''agin" free silver, Ed; and if
you are, you could not find more
effectual way of fighting it than
you are following. Just keep the
silver forces divided-part in the
Peoples, part in the Democratic
and part in the Republican party
and the bloatcd, bond-holding gold
bugs will be able to make the toll
ing masses stand and deliver for
another four years.
But, Ed, how much do the
goId-bugs pay you for this work?
If they are not paying you, they
will do it, and handsomely too, and
they will pay you and let you stand
in the middle of the road, too.

Kentucky Democracy has gone
to the gold bugs, but you hear the
childish plea that the gold bugs
can't do it anywhere else in the
South or West, that they won in
that State because it was the home
of Cleveland's tool, Secretary Car
lise.
Wonder why Cleveland placed
nearly all his best offices at the
disposal of Southern Democrats

Louisiana Democrats pop their
fists together and offer to bet whole
cigars that the Democratic party
in this State can't be carried for

Cleveland has more big appoint
ments from Louisiana than from
any other Southern State, and
they'll get in their work ON the
Democratic party, and don't you
doubt it. Get out into the middle

your medicine.

prevent law for free coinage o.
silver within twenty-four month:
and that is a division of free silver
people on party lines. .--Noncon-
formist.
Correct, but the gold bugs have
all the money, and those whom
they can't blind or buldoze, they
will attempt to buy, to stay where
they are-divided.
1t will only be necessary to keep
the free silver Republicans in that
party, and the free silver Demo
crat in his, and the Populists,
though in free silver party
can't win.
The free silver forces will thus
be divided into three parts, and
will fall an easy preyto the clutch
es of Shylock.
The gold bugs paid 100000 to
have silver demonetized, and had
to steal the bill through at that
price. Since that time the wealth
of this country created by the toll
ing masses has been pouring into
the laps of the few as fast as the
rains of Winter roll toward the
ocean, and to-day, that few are
prepared to spend millions of their
i'll gotten gains to continue this
flow, and prevent its being turned
toward the people once more.
The most effectual land by far
the least dangerous) way to fight
the enemy is to keep that enemy
divided and fighting each other.
With their unlimited Doodle then,
these shylocks will begin to
strengthen party ties, already the
cry has gone up, ''Save the good
old party, better let the silver ques-
ton 90 than break up the dear old
party"
So far from supporting any one
party, the gold bugs will be sup
porting all parties-strengthening
their lines and trying to hold the
silver element intact in each res
pective party.
Indeed, this one time, we expect
to see Shylock's gold come to the
aid of our own beloved Peoples
party. In this way,-he will urge
every Populist to stand by his par
ty, to beware of that nonpartisan
silver movement, we'll knowing
that if the nonpartisan silver move
ment can be defeated, that silver
will be defeated for another four
years, when, because of still lower
prices, the masses will be too poor,
too impoverished to make a new
fight.
We will never go into the Demo
cratic or Republican party to fight
for free silver or any other reform,
and we think any Populist would
be a fool to do SO, because there is
no kind of doubt but that the gold
bugs are in possession of the ma
chinery of both these parties, and
we believe a straddle like that of
'92, will be both their platforms,
but we are willing to meet honest
free silver men of all parties half
way to make this one, last death
struggle for free silver, and more
money. Then, if we lose, the old
parties will have joined each other
to do it, and this would put the
contest where we long have wished
it-between two armies-plutocra-
cy against the people but if we
win, the Peoples party will claim,
deserve and get the credit for the
victory, as she now gets the credit
for the agitation.
