BangOr's Relief Method.

A novel and effective plan for the re-
lief of the suffering poor of Bangor,
Me-, has been put in operation by the
relief committee of that city this win
ter. Paper bags were distributed
among the householders, accompanied
by printed slip, saying: please put
in this bag any contribution you may
wish to make, however small, and re-
turn to -" The result was very
satisfactory. Many people in moderate
circumstances had before refrained
from giving because of the smallness of
their contributions. but this method
opened way for the mite of each one
to reach the proper channel for the re-
lief of the poor. The paper bags were
returned, containing groceries, provis-
ions that were not Immediately perish
able, clothing and money. The small
individual gift in the aggregate became
a mighty collection of food and cloth
ing fol the relief of distress.

Generous Japanese.

Among the reasons for the almost
uninterrupted success OF Japan in pros
ecuting the present war with China is
the spirit of sacrifice and generosity
exhibited by her people. Voluntary
contributions amounting to almost
fifteen million dollars have been re-
ceived by the government. The Bank
of the Nobility, which has given one
million dollars outright, has also
placed fifteen million dollars, interest
free, at the disposal of the authorities.
The noblemen and wealthy merchants
have been most patriotic, and num-
Der Of them have contributed more
than one hundred thousand dollars
each. Victory under such conditions is
comparatively easy and certain. Public
spirit in China with reference to the
unfortunate conflict presents melan-
choly contrast. Unhappily for the
Chinese, the same spirit Of Indifference
to use no stronger word-seems to
pervade a great part of the army and
navy Admiral Ting himself had to re-
port that seven Of his ships remained
concealed during the fight on the Yalu;
that several officers had to be court
martialed for cowardice, and that it
was deemed essential to behead Capt.
Fong, who fed before the beginning of
the battle.

VICTORY FOR DAiRYMEN,
States Have the Right TO Regulate the
Sale OF OicoTnargarine.

States Have the Right TO Regulate the
Sale OF Oiconargarine.
The law Of Massachusetts, forbids
the sale of oleomargarine colored to
initiate butter. benjamin Flumey,
Boston dealer and agent for the Chi
cago fraudulent butter makers, under
took to sell oleomargarine colored, con-
trary to law, relying on the unconsti-
nationality of the law for protection.
He was arrested and the case came be-
fore the courts, where he was tried and
found guilty. He appealed to the state
supreme court and then to the United
States supreme court. Justice Harlan
rendered the decision, declaring that
every state had right to protect it's
people from frauds Of all kinds, and
should control the sale of food products
in so far as to protect them from adul-
terations and fraud. The original
package decision does not in any way
prevent one state from forbidding the
sale of fraudulent products from an
Their state.
The decision is distinct victory for
the dairymen of the United States and
covers about the whole ground of their
contention. 1t sets at rest the ques-
ton of the powers of the states to reg
ulate the sale of oleomargarine.-

ROADS OF ANTIQUITY.
Those Built by the Medieval Peruvtaus
We're the Most Magnificent.


Perhaps the earliest road on record
is that mentioned by HerodQtus 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 constructed by the
Peruvians, while medieval Europe was
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, a re-
gion of unparalleled engineering diff
Guilty. The length of the second has
been estimated at from 1900 to 1000
miles, It crossed sierras buried in
snow, bridged ravines with walls of
solid masonry, mounted and descended
precipices by staircases hewn 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 u dis
lance of 200 feet These cables swung
side by side, and, fastened with planlSs
so as to form a footway, were drawn
through holes in enormous buttresses
of stone specially constructed on each
bank, and were secured firmly at each
end to heavy beams of timber, A rail
ing of similar osier material gave the
passenger confidence as he crossed the
oscillating bridge that sank danger
ously in the middle and mounted rap
idly at the sides. The great highway
was twenty feet wide, and was built
with flags of freestone covered with
bituminous cement. 1t 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 regular postal service
had been organized by which highly
trained runners, relieved every five
miles, could convey messages a dis
lance of 200 miles in the twenty-four
hours. The roads were kept in beauti-
full order, the inhabitants of a district
being responsible for that portion OF
the highway which traversed their
land. At the same time it should be
remembered that there was no wheel
traffic to cut up the level surface of the
hard pavement. There is considerable
irony in the fact that it was not till
the Spaniards forcibly introduced their
so-called civilization into Peru that
the famous roads began to fall into dis.

WOMEN IN OFFICE.
The New England Girl and the Widow
Are the Ones Who Remain.

In the offices in Washington the
principal rival of the widow is the New
England young woman, says the New
York Commercial Advertiser. There
are Massachusetts, girls who taught
school twenty and thirty years ago
who got into the departments and are
there yet. In the first place, the New
England girl has been educated to the
idea of making her own living and to
regard marriage as very improbable.
She is, first of all, scholar, and
scholar of natural capacity and breadth
of character. She can do anything any
man can do except, possibly, climb a
tree. But she can climb a civil service
examination, which is infinitely of
more importance to the government
and to herself. She may be a widow,
but she gets there, and she stays to a
ripe old age. In fact, there is no rec
ord of any widow or New England girl
dying or getting married from a gov
eminent Office. Any one of them would
scout the idea of leaving a salary of
81, 900 or 81 200 or 81 900 or 81, 800 year
to do Homework for some man who
can't earn as much himself. So the
New England girl and the widow stick
to salary and leave romance to cal
low fools.
As the civil service record shows that
about one woman out of every sixth
clerk is called for by bureau officials,
nothing but superior adaptability and
staying powers will account for the
steady increase of women in all the de-
partments. Perhaps the permanent
removal of the subordinate places
under the government from the polit
ical influences which once controlled
them has done more for every class o.
employees who can rely upon their OWL
merits than anything else has done.
