few games he has pitched for tho Pirates

Foreman is native of Baltimore, and

of being boy of go Johnny was really an

Young Foreman is n brother of tho 9TH

adds one moro to tho list of brother play

Perhaps the earliest road on record
is that mentioned by Herodotus as
having been constructed by Cheops,
the Egyptian king, in order that stones
might be dragged along it for his pyr-
amid. In the opinion of the Greek
traveller the work of making the road
was as great as that of building the
pyramid, for it took ten years to con-
struct, and it was made of polished
stones with figures carved on them.
But, according TO the London Standard,
this does not compare in magnitude
with the highways constructedyby the
Peruvians, while medieval Europe was
still in a state of semi -barbarous disor-
ganization. The two principal roads
in Peru ran from Quito in the north to
Cuzco, the capital, the one along the
sandy and level strip Of coast, the other
along the plateau of the Andes, n re-
gion of unparalleled engineering diff

been estimated at from 1900 to 1000
miles. 1t crossed sierras buried in
snow, bridged ravines with walls OF
solid masonry, mounted and descended
precipices by staircases heevn in the
solid rock and ran in interminable gal
leries along the sides of intractable
mountains. Where rivers had to be
crossed bridges were made with ropes
Of stout, plant osier twisted to the
thickness Of mans body and stretched
over the stream sometimes for dis
tancc Of 200 feet. These cables swung
side by side, and. fastened with planks

was twenty feet wide, and was built
with flags Of freestone covered with
bituminous cement. IL was measured
out by posts set up at every league;
caravansaries and magazines were sta
toned at convenient distances for the
Peruvian soldiers on their military ex-
petitions; and "a regular postal service
had been organized by which highly
trained runners, relieved every five
miles, could convey messages dis

And yet, the modern road, crossing the
country in ali directions, traversible by
carriages and carts, as well as beasts,
does not go back to the times of good
Queen Bess. Indeed, in her reign
thousands might starve, and did starve,
in one county, while abundance filed
the granaries of the others.
Think of men and women and chill

form of wealth which we call roads in
