HoS. Gro. w. WAGESsELLER,
Mddleburgh, Pa.
DEAR SIR:-I have been re-
ouested by our mutual friend. John
ID. Bogar to send you copy OF my
proposed road law.
This | do with great pleasure and
| trust it will meet your approba-
tion.
NV idea is simply this There are
some few exceptions, but as "a gen -
eral rule the roads of Pennsylvania
are very bad, ia fact, think, after
close obsci walton for the last ten
wears aud II knowledge of them for
90 wears, | say the roads of Penn.
svlvauia are the worst in the world.
In 1895 | spent , months travelling
through Europe studying the roads
and road laws of France, Germany,
Sweden, Holland, Denmark, SWltz-
crlaud. ENGLAND, Scotland, Ne. Nc,
and after all that travel | can say l
did not see a. bad rOOds pS III Penn
sylvnniH.
Aud the worst thing about Penn
sylyauia roads is the farmers. VINO
use the roads most, have become so
accustomed 10 them that they DO
not know how bad they are. Be
cau7c they have never seen the
roads of above named countries,
and many of them look mt me with
crcdulous faces as to wcther l am
telling the truth when l tel
.hcm | saw single horses hauling
two tons of farm produce to market.
But trust YOU will excuse this
DEPRESSION from what intended to
write, which was to briefly call your
attention to the leading reasons Tor
urging the enacting of this law
lst. The country people have be-
come so attached to Working. OUt
their Rodd 7dreS. that they have
for many years resisted any change
of road law.
Ind. Very many roads have been
50 badly located and fences have
been made, houses, &c. built TO con
form to the badly located roads, thai
now it will be cheaper and far. more
satisfactory to make an entirely new
road than to change locations OF ole
roads.
I therefore say let us make an en-
tire new system of roads called
Military Highways across thu
state 40 miles apart andasthe topog
raphy will permit and cross thos'
roads by Military Highways ever!
40 miles apart as near paralei n
topography will permit.
suggest 40 miles apart so tua
every county may receive bench
from first series which | am SUR
will prove 50 satisfactory that tn
first series will not be finished unit
there will be call for them every =
miles apart and then every I'D miles
&c.
HOW TO GET MONEY.
The constitution of Pennsylyani
saws there shall be no State Deb
created except for Military purpos
cs for defending the State in war o
SupprcsSing instruction.
1t has been Government powe
to make Military Highways eve
since the time of julius Caesar, an
the L. =. made Military Highwa
when it made the Old NatiCna
Turnpike and the best LAWYERS sa
it will be legal to sell time Bonds +
get money to make Military High
ways with the Proceeds.
Hoping to hear from you on thi
very important subject, am
Yours Respy,
ARTHUR KIRK.

one and we will give II space III

"Vox PoDuii," Not "Vox Del"

We all know favorite and much
quoted proverb is "Vox popui, vox
Del" Is it not, perhaps, of all proverbs,
the most fallncious? Was it not Carlyle
who asked, "How many fools does it
take to nalea public?' Does not anoth-
er popular proyerb say, TOO many
cooks spoil the broth:' 1t is Il vulgar er-
ror to believe that many persons togeth-
er can decide better upon Il subject than
one person alone An optimist might
argue that this belief has taken birth
from the moGe.:y Of mankind, pessi-
mist that it has arisen from the desire
to escape responsibility.
The popular notion is that number
Of intellects can be summed up into one
hole, but the fact is they limit each
other and act as ii clog. Men," said
Galilai, ''are not like Il number of
horses attached to carriage, all pull
ing together, hut rather like "a number
of loose horstH running Il race, of which

A Remarkable Woman.

The dowager Lady Stanley of Alder
ley, whose death took place not long
since, was a remarkable woman. Her
great age of 81 was no hindrance to her
extraordinary intellectual and physical
activity. She was born before the jubi-
lee of George III, was presented at court
to George ", was familiar with the
widow of the young pretender, and was
present both at the coronation and at the
jubilee of her majesty Queen Victoria
More than half a century ago Lady STAN
ley was one of the original promoters of
the Queens college and one of the
members Of its first council. She assist
ed Miss Emily Davies, to whom the
foundation of Girton college was main
ly owing.
During her whole life she has been
working for the education of women,
never endcavoring to monopoliZe the
credit, and all this good work was ac-
complshed while taking due interest
i'll her children, even to the second and
third generation. Lady Stanley had 10
children, OF whom are now living.
Recently she regretted she was not ten
years younger, to explore some of the
newly investigated regions of central
Asia, and it is related that on one of her
last visits to the premier, Mr.. Glad
stone, when he endeavored to turn the
conversation from politics by alluding
to a recent novel, she said "Do not let
us talk of novels. Leave them for your
old age as do A singular remark for

It is well known that the thickness of
the layer Of fine sand i'll tiltering beds
cannot be reduced beyond IL certain point
without endaugering the quality Of the
water that filters through. DIR. kurth of
Bremen has found in examining water
filtered through layer not sufficiently
thick that the number of bacteria was
greatly increased, owing to the presence
of special microbe that could not be
found iii the water before it entered the
filter. These microbes must therefore
have existed i'll the tiltering material
and have been developed by the passage
of water through it.-Exchange.
