Few women have had a more miserable

STEEL RAILS ON ROADS.
Valuable Suggestion Made by the Cow
ernor of New Jersey.

ernor of New Jersey.
The latest scheme for good roads
that of laying tracks of broad steel
rails along country roads and city
streets for the wheels of vehicles TO run
on, thus greatly increasing the trac-
ton power of horses and the general
comfort and convenience of driving ard
trucking-was suggested by Gov.
Werts, of New Jersey, in his last mes
sage. 1t apparently is an elaboration
and improvement of system of paw
ing used in some foreign cit
les which has proved very sat
isfactory. Gov. Werts' sugges-
ton, which is really the propo-
roads, is to lay double tracks Of steel
along the country roads, filling in the
space between the rails with ordinary
paving of macadam. He says horse
viii draw on such a steel track 20 times
as much as on macadam. The unanimi-
ty with which drivers of 81 manner Of
vehicles in city streets take 20 the car
track clearly illustrates the idea.
Many of the streets along the line of
docks in Liverpool, over which heavy
loads of all kinds are drawn to and
from the ships. have long slabs of gran
lite, such as are used at crossings, laid
end to end in four parallel rows all
along the street, practically nRe car
tracks. The rest of the street is paved
with Belgian granite set "a the ordinary
manner. These wheel tracks of granite
slabs afford a perfectly regular and
smooth surface for the trucks to run
on, while the granite sets give good
purchase for the horses. This style OF
paving has proved of great utility and
convenience. 1t is much easier for the
horses than where the wheels have to
jolt over the small sets, and they can
do much better work. 1t adds much to
public comfort, too, because the truck
ing is almost noiseless. The slabs wear
better than the small sets, because
there is no irregular wear by joltipg
and scraping.
This system of paving is in use in
some of the streets about the docks
of London, in Antwerp and many other
cities in Great Britain and on the con
tinent. OF course, steel rails would be
a great improvement on the granite
slabs in many respects. Perhaps the
granite has an advantage over steel for
use in crowded city streets in that It
ii not more slippery in wet weather
than is the rest of the paving, while
broad rails of steel might prove treaeh-
erous for horses where there is much
crossing of teams. Gov. Werts, how
ever, only suggested the use of steel on
country roads.
Many of the streets of Sheffield ard
other towns in the north of England
are paved with blocks of stone IL to IS
inches long by 0 to IL inches broad.
These streets are practically as smooth
as the sidewalks. The stone is rougher
and softer than the granite. But while
this pavement is excellent for cabs and
other light vehicles, because of its
smoothness and comfort, it is not so
good for heavy trucking, especially in
wet weather, as the horses are not able
to get good purchase on the broad
blocks.-N. Y. Sun.

After the death of the elder Lin
coin, the stepmother, who was much
loved by Lincoln, lived in the cabin
with a near relative, John Hall, who
remained with her till her death in
1869. The cabin then passed through
several hands, but was at last bought
by an association in Chicago. and
from this 1t was obtained by its pres
ent owners. Among the relics of the
family which will be placed in the hut
will be the bed on which Lincoln first
slept, the wheel on which the yarn
for his clothing was spun and the axe
which he used in cutting fence rails.
The Mclean house is vet at Appo-
mattox, but is not standing, as some
years ago 1t was carefully taken down
with the view of moving 1t to Wash
ington. But just at that time the
financial panic came on and the pro-
ject was postponed, but 1t is certain
that 1t will now be successfully carried
out. Prior to the dismantling of the
place, Colonel Dunlap had series of
photographs taken as well as a great
many blue prints showing the exact
appearance of the rooms, and each bit
OF boarding is numbered so that the
house will be just as it was before it
was torn down. Even the plastering
has been preserved and stored in bar
rels, so that it can be again mixed
and used in mortaring the bricks.
THESE bricks now lie in a heap, but
are closely guarded. so as to prevent
the depredations of relic hunters.
When brought to Washington. the
house will be rebuilt exactly as it was
on the day on which the articles of
surrender were signed. Much of the
old furniture has been secured, and
as far as possible the rooms will look

HmPaled on Wires as q Preliminary to
Their FeatS
There is no one side of the side
shows and minor features of museums
and fairs which seems on its face more
attractive than the exhibition of So
called educated fleas, says Happy
Thoughts. There is something in the
idea OF educating any of the lower
animals that appeals to all of us, and
the lower the animal the more there
is in 1t of interest to the people. The
suggestion, even, that it is possible to
get insects to perform tricks which
seem as IL the result of intelligence
excltes at once the sympathiesr of
spectators, and the educated flea calls
together companies who are delighted
with the apparent results, although
really ignorant of the causes or OF the
TACT that each trick means the death
OF that particular flea. If one will re-
Meet but moment, the absurdity of
educating SO ephemeral an animal as
the nea becomes apparent. After
couple OF weeks as legless little worm
the young flea spins for itself cocoon
winch is its habitation for a couple
OF weeks longer, when it awakes in its
familiar form for brief existence of
few weeks at the most. To instill
into SO short-lived creature anything
like appreciation of the tricks that he
Is to perform is out of the question. and
the results which are attained are by
purely mechanical and cruel process.
Inc work which the flea is expected to
perform is something in which its in
stlnct to escape becomes of service.
1t Is "harnessed" to little wagon or
shoots on miniature cannon or does
some other simple thing requiring only
Feeble pull in straight line. The

which is stuck into the body of the
unfortunate insect, and in its struggles
10 escape the poor flea performs its
trlck, and the amused spectators are
not aware OF the cruelty to which it 10
subjected. If passengers in the shaps
OF other heas are desired to make the
wagon trick more remarkable, or a
coachman or a footman, they may be
readily had by impaling others of the
insects upon properly placed wires. re-
