Quotation Marks.

Quotation marks arc not infrcquent- ly miSuscd in signs, said stroller, tho marks being placed about names, as. for instance, tho namo of place, or about some descriptive phrase ill a sign, though the word Ur the phrase may really m"t lr' a quotation at all, but l am never surprised at any misuse of quotation marks, for 1 cannot forgot very singular idea concerning them that had myself in my earlier days used to think that single quotation marks ahmt anything meant that the words incluSVd were sort of partly quot cd, moro Cr less. whatever that may mean. Perhaps that isn't very distinct statement, but remember we'll that was quite tiokled when later I learned that quotation marks were not signs to be used at tha fancy of the writer. but might prrstrly be used only to indicate actual quotations.

Fortified Paris.

Today Paris, regarded as a fortified center. is an intrenChcd camp, upon the margin of which arc numerous new per maneut forts. Tho circle formed by the line of these new forts, which arc far outside the forts of 1870, is about S5 miles i'll circumference, and it contains about 5S0 square miles. not more than one seventh of that area being built over It is a region nearly as largo as Monmouthshiire, with q population of 5000, 900 The smallest possible circuit to be formed around it by am investing army is 100 miles, so that at least 500, 900 men actually upon the spot would be required to undertake any serious operations for the reduction by siege of the French capital
 In practice no fewer than l, 900, 900 would be necessary And fortified Paris, although so much more extensive than 1t was in 1870. can nevertheless be de. fensively held at present by $50, 900 men, while if zoo. 900, or eveu more, were called for. they could without det- riment to tho field armies be provided out of the 3.7O0. 900 trained soldiers whom France now has at her disposal National Review

HE CHEAPEST ROAD.
It Is That Which Enables a Load to Bc Drawn With the Least Force Expended.

1t Is That Which Enables Load to Bc
 Drawn With the Least Force Expended.
 Tho subject of good roads is receiving moro and moro attention, and ill an ad dress recently delivered at Union college Colonel Francis VmtOn Greene gave fig ures which should provd of special inter- est to farmers and manufacturers who pay for hauling heavy loads Colonel Greene said: Ut has been proved. not only by mechanical experiment, but by actual test, that the samo furcC which draws ono ton on a muddy earth road will draw four tons on n hard macadam road. On the improved roads of New Jersey, loads of four to five tons are habitually drawn by two horse team. This effects Il saving of fully three fourths of the cost of hauling to the sta tion, and reduces the cost of road tra1is- portation from 80 cents to 7Ls cents per ton per mile. What this saving amounts to may be imagined, when it is known that the New York Central railroad car ries nearly 10000, 900 tons of way freight ill year. If this is hauled only two miles by road, to or from the sta ton, and a saving of 22Ia cents per ton per mile could be effected, it would mean total saving of $9. 1000. .OOO."
 IL seems from this that the question of good roads in agricultural communities is a question of farming at loss or a profit The wheelmen have done much to secure the betterment of our high. ways and the policy of doing permanent work which is in force wherever the views of intelligent road builders pre- vail is approved by tho taxpayers, who know that in the end such construction is the cheapest. tMass.

Napoleon,s Military Roads.

When Napoleon invaded Germany on his famous march to Russia, he con. structed good military roads, in order to transport heavy artillery to his field of operations. At that period there were no other means of transportation overland, and Napoleon was compelled to build these magnificent roads us a matter of necessity, They were of model construc- tion. level, smooth ana solid, and lined on both sides with trees. After Napoleon retreated from Moscow, and left Ger many, these splendid roads were utilized for commerce and carefully preserved. They have stood the wear and tear of trucking for years, and are still in ex- cellent condition, although they are now superseded by railroads for transporta- tion purposes, and are only used for To- cal travel.

WANTS TO BE 4 SLAVE.
A Young Married Woman Who Refuse
 to Be Emancipated-

Young Married Woman Who hefoses
 tO Be Emaneipated-
 Very often when a young married wo- man starts housekeeping she is favored with a circular from the Women's Emancipation league as we'll as with Various more or less tasty literature dealing with ''sexual'' matters from an advanced point Of view. The Emanci- pators address her in this strain:
 Recognizing that the slavery of sex is the root of all slavery, and that in- justice to womanhood. especially in1us- tice within the family, is the perpetual soufce of all other injustice, it (the "league") seeks the legal, political, so- cial and industrial emancipation of wo- mef, aS the vital and indispensable con- dition of all other true lasting reforms, and nffirms these claims as paramount to all personal, sectional or party con- sideratiun whatever.
 Ihave a decp rooted aversion to slay- ery in all shapes. There are women slaves among us, as there are men slaves When I find n woman slave, 1 shall be happy to assist in emancipating her. But this does Tot prevent my sympa- thizing with the writer Of the following letter:
 "SIR-I am a married woman-l think may say girl-of three months standing, just entered with joy and hope fulness upon what l have been taught to believe the highest and nOblest duties of woman. It may be that my belief and my hopes are delusions; that l am no better than a slave. and that if sub init to tho injustice in store for me I shall become party to all the other wrongs in the world. But is it kind to tell ne this just nOwg Mightn't be left to find out my mistake for myselfS When do, won't it be time enough to join tho Emancipation league? l think it would, so am trying to keep my de- fusion and my annual subscription un- til hsTc seen how my lord and mas ter treats his unfortunate slave "-Lon- dan Truth.

 Local Dramatic Talent.
 The play was local dramatization of Guatamozin, whom they represented as meeting his death by poison and moi, as history informs Us, by means of the nuOse. It k n significant fact that this hero met his tragic death in the wilds Of Petcn while his Cunqunr,'r was jnurnrying to this very island. Thrrc was no admission fee, and thuse who desired sent their servants with chairs, which were placed in the open air about the stage to await the occupancy of their respective owners.
 After the performance of "GuatAmOzIn" c moonlight walk was in order. The mar imhas led the procession. followed by the governor and his immediate friends, and, when the marimberus were tired of whack- ing out their wild music, guitars and ac- cOrdions took up the strain.
