FOR BETTER ROADS.

The movement in favor of better
roads. which has been prosecuted with
such vigor in this country during the
past two or three years, has already
borne good fruit in several States.
Under the law passed by the last leg
islature in Connecticut for promoting
good roads about 80 have been COM
pleted in the State, Of which Is have
already been accepted by the State
road commissioners. Some rs towns
out of the 1853 in the state will proba-
bly, avail themselves soon of the act,
which provides that the State shall
pay one-third the cost of new road,
the county one third, and the town
-third-no town to expend more
than 5000 in QUE year under the act,
and the State not more than $4,000
altogether. The law requires "a mac
adamized road Or a telford or some
other stone road that will at all seas
ons of the year be firm, smooth, and
convenient for travel" the town to
keep it in repair when built. Many
valuable and interesting facts and
figures connected with the improve
ment of roads were brought out at
the recent National Road Parliament
at Atlanta. The reports showed that
Massachusetts leads in good road
making, with an annual appropria-
ton Of $500, 900 in State road building,
distributed under the direction of
her commission. New Jersey, which
has been considered the banner
State for good roads, reported pro-
gressive Improvement under her State
Aid law, the appropriation for which
is now $15O,O00. In some of the States
of the West, and in many States of
the South, country road building has
progressed, especially South, by the
use of convict labor. California has
done no road building, because Of the
problem of local centers of popula-
ton being separated by long distances
of unsettled country. = Christian

has been completed and forwarded to

test of the locomotive will be made
to learn the capability of it's drawing

By the measurement of skulls Prof.
Sergi thinks that he has established
the existence of an early race of men
whom he calls the Mediterraneans
They arose in the mountains of
Abyssinia, spread over Egypt and the
north coast of Africa, reaching to the
Canary Islands, Spain, Italy, Switzer-
land, Great Britain, and Ireland, the
greater part Of France, Greece, Asia
Minor, Syria, and the country about
the Black Sea. In later times branch
es of this race came to Europe from
Asia Minor, and became known as
Pelasgi and Etruscans. The Hittites
belonged to the same stock. Their
skin was brownish, their hair and
eyes black, and their skulls of pecu-
liar shapes, which Prof. Sergi sub
divides into ellipsoid, ovoid, penta-
gonal, rhomboid, cupoid, sphenoid
and the like. The race in Northern
Italy, France, and Britain was driven
west by the coming of tie Kelts.

According to advices from Wash
ington the new design of the Ameri
can flag rendered necessary by the
existence of forty five States will go
into effect on July next. The de-
sign agreed upon arranges the stars
in six rows, the first, third and fifth
of eight stars each, and the second,
fourth and sixth of seven stars each.
This will render a new arrangement
of the stars unnecessary for some
time to come.

If it is decided to abandon the Abvs-

If it is decided to abandon the Abys-
sinian enterprise, the prestige of Italy
as military power will be hopelessly
broken. If it is decided to go on with
it, the resources of the already almost
bankrupt kingdom will be strained to
the breaking point. Either course is
full of peril. Still more serious, if
possible, may be the effect upon Eu-
rope at large. Italy has been kept in
the Triple Alliance by Crispi alone.
With him out of Office that alliance
may be dissolved or reduced to dual
form.
