centuries. They make possible the
transfer of the abundance of one region
to supplement the want of another.
And yet, the modern road, crossing the
country in all 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
dren starving from mere lack of that
form of wealth which we call roads in
the days when Drake and the great cap
tains were securing the seas in search
of the Spanish galleons and Spanish
gold, and when the military might OF
England hurled back the Spanish
Armada and all the power of the great
est nation on the face of the globe. In
the very heart of London, in the street
named after the king himself, the only
way one of the Edwards could get to
his parliament was to fill with great
punches of fagots the holes in the
street"

A GREAT C1VILIZER.
That Is What Ex-Speaker Reed Calls a
Good Country Road.

Hon. Thomas B. Reed, ex-speaker OF
the house of representatives, in an ad,
dress to the graduating class of the
PIERCE College of Business, in the
Academy of Music, Philadelphia, speak
ing of the various forms of wealth and
the comforts and benefits arising from
and made possible thereby, made the
following significant allusion to the
country road as an asset of the nations,
and as factor in contributing to the
wants and necessities of the human
race:
Zone of the greatest civilizers of the
world is something we hardly think of,
either as civilizer or as wealth-the
common country road. Few people
ever think how much roads cost US.
They represent the surplus labor OF

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

Were the Most Magnificent.
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 constructed by 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, re-
gion of unparalleled engineering diff
Guilty. The length of the second has
been estimated at from 1,5OO to 1000
miles. 1t crossed sierras buried in
snow, bridged ravines with walls of
solid masonry, mounted and descended
precipiees 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 q mans body and stretched
over the stream sometimes for dis
lance of 200 feet. These cables swung
side by side, and, fastened with planks
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
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
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
repair.

COyerted Up IL Tree.

The Rev. DR.. Eddy was at that time
theogical student at the Northwest
ern University. Accompanied by some
of his classmates, he went to the camp
meeting, where he was down on the
programme to preach his first sermon.
Here they found young man named
Fred Hough ton, who was much under
conviction because of his sius. Soon
all the theological students bad sur
rounded the penitent and were exhort-
ing him to accept Christ as his Savior.
Every influence known to the future
divines was brought to bear on Hough-
ton, until it became evident that it was
becoming somewhat Wearisome TO him
and he went to the woods. Along to-
ward evening, like Zaccheus of old, who
climbed up into a scycamore tree,
be assembled into bass wood tree.
whose limbs nearly touched the ground,
and there pursued his meditations.
DR.. Eddy was to preach that night,
and felt nervous and apprehensive.
AS the shades of night were approach.
ing he a lso hied himself to the woods
and rchearsed his sermon beneath the
tree in which Houghton was en-
conced. Thinking himself alone
and none but the eye of God was upon
him, he warmed up and in eloquent
tones exhorted his imaginary hearers
to accept the faith. When he had
finished great was his surprise when
Hough ton decended from the tree and
said he was willing to come to christ,
and declared that DR.. Eddy's sermon
had saved him. In after years DR..
Eddy declared that had Houghton
shouted while he was in the midst of
of his funeral sermon over Houghton' s
remains he would not have been more
surprised than he was when Houghton
came down the tree.-Chicago Tribune.

Home and Abroad.

It is the duty OF every one,
whether at home Or travelling fol
for pleasure or business, equip
himself with the remedy which
will keep up strength and prevent
illness, and cures such Ills as are
liable to come upon all in every
day life. For instance, Hoods
Sarsaparilla as a general tonic, and
to keep the blood aud less liable
to obsorb the germs of disease,
will be we'll nigh invaluable.
Change of drinking water often
causes serious trouble. especially
if one has been used to spring
water in the country. From few
drops teaspoonful OF Hoods Sar-
saparilla in a tumbler Of water will
prevent the water having any in
furious effect.
Hoods Vegetable Pills, as a Ca
thartic, cause no discomfort, no
loss of sleep, but assist the di-
gestive organs. so that satisfactory
results are effected in natural
and regular manner.

Went up With His Kite.

WINoNA, Mimi, Aug 16.-A peculiar
accident. which came near ending the
earthly career of Charles Barber of this
city, occurred here last evening during
a XII te flying contest. These contests
have been growing in interest for some
time. In consequence the kites have
kept growing in size. Mr.. Barber ap-
peared with one measuring nearly eight
feet from, top to bottom, and, with the
assistance of couple of his friends he
proceeded to fly it. After the kite was
well in the air Barber fastened the
rope by which it was held around his
body No sooner had he done this
than the friends who were aiding him
let loose the cord Mr.. Barber was
dragged along the ground for some rods
and then bodily lifted into the air.
His friends tried to rescue him, but
they could not. The kite pulled him
into the air over fifteen feet and then
the wind seemed to die away. Barber
and the kite began to sink, and in a
few minutes he was dropped into the
river. Tied as he was to the kite, he did
not sink, and in short time was res
cued by man with boat, who brought
him to shore after cutting the rope
which held the kite. The kite fell
on the Wisconsin side of the river,
where it was picked up by small boy

wander away from Cony Island in the
summer time and leave the place often
IN charge of one who takes care of his
own. One more thoughtful than all
the rest left burial service in a pho
nograph, in case of need, and that is
how Augusta Burr, the fat baby. was
buried by a phonograph.
Deputy Coroner Stillwell has a pho
nograph with trumpet as big as the
head of drum and deep, sonorious
voice. It was reverent m machine, too,
and never in its life had 1t ground out
dance tune or music hall ditty.
It's placed in the Deputy Coro-
ners' parlor right close to the family
bible, and flanked by the big plush
photograph album.
Baby Burr was the biggest baby on
the Island. She was 10 months old
and weighed 92 pounds. She was ex-
hibited in little tent near the sea
Palace Pavilion, and many went to her
canvas abode to see her. She did not
thrive WE'LL She took pneumonia last
week and died.
He1 mother thin. nervous little
woman, was heart broken. She felt
still worse at the funeral--no clergyman
could be found to give her daughter
burial according to the rites of the
church.
She told Mr.. Stillwell, who, in his
exotficio capacity, is an undertaken.
that she would not be satisfied unless
her daughter was buried rs she wish
ed. 'All the ministers are away" ex-
planned the undertaken, "but I've got
a religious phonograph which can go
through the service without a hitch,
for l've tried it, No humming and
having and turning of leaves either.
It just begins right off and goes through
without break"
A dozen or SO of the friends of little
Miss Burr gathered in the undertaker's
house at Gravesend. The coffin was
placed in the back parlor, and over it
projected the great trumpet of the re-
ligious phonograph.
Mrs. Stillwell conducted the service.
She changed the cylinders five times,
and from the opening to the close it
N
needle" was used, and the voice from
the machine, as clear as bell, pene-
trated to all parts of the room. Those
who attended the funeral sat with
bowed deads and never looked up as
cylinder changed.
Had stranger been listening at the
door he would have thought that a
minister stood beside the coffin and
spoke the words which rang through
the double parlor:
First was the Lords prayer, recited
in slow, impressive manner. At the
sound of the familiar words spirit OF
calm seemed to come into the room.
Then shrill voice unlike the other,
that the Amphion Quartet
would sing "Nearer My God, to Thee"
and four we'll blended voices sang the
Then passage of scripture announc-
ing that all flesh is grass was heard
There was buzz of the cylinder and
then deep voice pronounced the
words committing the body to the
grave.
BLESSED are the dead who die in the
Lssd," were the words which rang out
with greater distinction than all the
rest, and then followed the benediction.
The mother silently wept and the
friends bore the body away to it last
resting place.
