The Improvement OF Roads Is by No
Means q Local Issue.
There is not man, woman or child
in the land that has not personal
interest in the question of better roads.
There is no article produced, imported
or exported, the cost of which is not
in some degree affected by the char
acter of the common roads over which
it is transported from the field, the
mine, the mill or the shop to the user or
consumer, and the worse the roads over
which it is transported the less it
yields the producer, and the more it
costs the user or consumer; and the
loss thus borne year after year by the
entire people of the nation is so enOr-
nous that it cannot be reasonably ap-
proximated. 1t costs less to transport
commodities across the continent by
rail, or from continent to continent by
water, than it does over a single mile
of our common roads during nearly half
the year.
Bad roads do not pay. When the
people realize this, the question be-
comes a national one.-Wm. II. Rhawn,

Soil Required by Roses.

Roses require a deep, rich humus, but
moderately compact soil. Pot troses like
o soil rather lumpy-that is, a soil not
sifted. Two parts of rich black loan
and one part of rotted cow manure,
with the addition of little sharp sand,
serves them admirably. The monthly
or Chinese rose and its hybrids, gem
orally known as monthly roses, are
still more tender than the perpctuals.
They may be perfectly well wintered in
o pit three or four feet deep, covered
with glass and protected from severe
frost, if little air is given them in
winter. So, also, they may be wintered
in q well-lighted cellar.

Placing Berries ON tho Market.

The cost of placing berries on the
market depends somewhat on locations
and the manner in which it is done.
For good berries, carefully picked, in
clean, new boxes, well packed and hon
estly measured, it may be estimated by
the quart as follows: Cost of growing
ready for picking, two cents; picking,
IA cents; boxes, one cent; cases, pack
ing and delivery, one cent; freight or
express charges, 11s cents; commits
sion for selling, one cent; actual cost
on market, eight cents per quart.

Trestle-WOrk and Timber Destruction.

According to q late bulletin Of the
Forestry Division, "there are in the
United States 1000 miles of trestle
structure, representing an expenditure
Of $G0,OOO,0O0. This trestle-w has to
be replaced every nine years, on an
average, causing an annual expenditure
Of 100000. This, capitalized at 4 per
cent, involves capital of sl75,0OO,OO0
necessary to maintain these structures.
For the purpose 26O,OOO,OOO feet, board

A good ayerage-trained horse weigh

miles per hour, can exert tractiVe

From the above table we see one

tons on plank road, 2h tons on cubical
blocks, one ton ON packed gravel or
packed earth, one-half to one-fifth ton
on unpacked earth dry and one-third to
one-fourth ton on packed earth after
rains.
The exceedingly low tractive force on
steel rails explains the assertion often
made that it is often cheaper to haul
freight by rail from points in the Mis-

opinion of BIackburne. the English Cham
Men Isuined by the Game.
Mr.. Blackburne, the English chess
champion, regards the game as a dam
gerous intellectual vice, which is
spreading to rather al alarming extent.
Discussing the matter he said: Il Know
a lot of people who hold the view that
chess is an excellent ean of training
the mind in logic and shrewd c~alcula-
ton, provision and caution. But /
don't find these qualities reflected in the
lives of chess players. They are just as
fal1ible and foolish as other folk who
don't now a rock from a pawn. But
even if it were a form Of mental dis.
cipline, which L doubt, l should still
object to it on the ground of it's fatal
fascination. Chess is a kind of mental
alcohol. It inebriates the man who
plays it constantly. He lives in a chess
atmosphere, and his dreams are OF
ga1nbits and the end of games l have
known many ar able man ruined by
chess. The game has charmed him.
and. as a consequence, he has given up
everything to the charmer. No, unless
q man has supreme ~self-control, it is
better that he should not learn to play

NAMING JAPANESE CHILDREN.
There Are Three Two of Them
Religious.

AAOA AAo ~ "CtAOtS, wv VI
Religious.
The Shinto belief is the oldest of tho
japanese religions, antedating per-
haps the Christian religion. and having
been obscured by buddhism for quite a
number of centuries, has been revived.
The method of naming children. it
seems, is quite a curious one, there be-
ing three ways in use by the followers
of Shinto, the Way of the Gods.
J One. the most obvious and the least
devout, is for the father to name the
child himself. The next in an ascend
ing scale of piety is for the father to
select several suitable names, and then
submit the choice among them to the
god. The way the god shows his choice
is as follows: The. father brings the
child to the tempe, ana with him slips
of paper inscribed with possible names.
Three or five is the usual number. The
priest rolls them up separately, puts
them into a bowl, and after due incar-
nation angles for them with a Pohel
upon a wand. CThe gohel is the long
sigzag of paper which is so important
in ceremonies of a religious nature.)
/ Whichever the gohei fishes out first
is the god-given name the child is to
bear; a convenient custom when tho
father is in doubt between the far east
| ern equivalents of Tom, Dick or Harry.
This is a ceremony which takes place
when the infant is a week old 1t is
not to be COMPOUNDED with the miya
mari, which takes place a mont after
birth, and is not our christening at all,
but akin to the Hebraic presentation
at the temple. For at the miya mairi
the child, named some weeks before, is
presented to its guardian god and for
mally put under his protection.
This third method of getting a name
for the child is through one of the pos
sessions or frances which are so COM
mon in the religious ceremonies of
these people. The priest goes into his
trance, and his assistant asks him, or
rather the god through him, and the
god makes reply.
This method of christening ones
child is reputed the most holy of the
| three, and is duly practiced by h ul-
ira devout. OF the population of Ja-
pan, about twenty per cent, it is esti-
mated. are thus named by the gohei or
the god-about ten per cent by each.

BOYS Composition on Sailors.

The following is declared to be the
work of a pupil in an English elemen-
tary school: "Seamen are what we call
sailors, and captains, and training ship
boya. The sailors you see in the streets
are nice little fat men, with red and
brown faces. They ware boys coats
and hats, and their trousers are too tite
for them up above and too wide for
them do vn below. 1t makes them feel
very riled. Sailors don't ware collars.
because their necks are SO thick; and
they always have their boots blacked
for fear the captain might see them
around a corner. They don't carry
their best close in boxes, but they ty
them up in big red and blue handker-
chiefs, just like Christmas puddens
Sailors are very fond Of their mothers
and sisters, and you nearly always sec
them taking them out to walk. The
reason why sailors like to get drung is
becose it makes them roll about like ~
