AMERICAS COMMON ROADS.

The total length Of the common roads
in this country, good, bad and indiffer-
emit, is estimated by Gen. Stone of the
road bureau of the department OF agri-
culture at something over 100000
miles. The majority of these roads have
been opened by common laborers hired
by local supervisors and no engineer
ing principles have been observed IN
their construction. AS result 1T costs
more to keep them in repair than il
they were as many finely macadamized
roads.
Keeping these poor roads in repair
and opening new thoroughfares cost
Massachusetts in 1893, outside of cities,

York, $2,50O,O00, or $50 per mile, and
New Jersey, SITS, 4O7.S2, or $43.25 per
mile. The total expenditure for roads
in that year amounted to about $50, 0O0,-
600 AS greater part of the enormous
sum was spent in repairing poorly con-
structed roads that would need exactly
the same attention next year, it is not
an exaggeration to say that most OF the
money was wasted.
Fine roads can be constructed all the
way from $500 to $500 per mile, accord
ing to the nature Of the country through
which they pass, the cost of crushed
stone and other engineering problems.
The cost of keep.ng these roads in re-
pair is infinitely smaller than that re-
quired to repair the ordinary dirt roads
each winter and spring, when great
gulleys and ruts are washed into them
by the rains and floods. The secret of
the success of the fine roads in France
is attributed to the prompt and systema-
tic repairs made at all seasons of the
year. -Manufacturer.

JACK TARs OF OTHER DAYS.
When Ships We're Full Rugged and Sailors
Were Athletes.

When Ships We're Full Rugged and Sailors
Were Athletes.
A proportion Of the blue jackets OF
any full-rigged ship were necessarily
athletes, says writer in the North
American Review. The upper yard
men in a line-of-battle ship or fri
gate were exceptional men in this way,
and much more so, perhaps, just about
the time that sail power was receiving
its death warrant than ever before.
These young men had to race aloft to
nearly the highest points, at top speed,
eight or ten times week, when the
ship was in harbor, to keep their heads
and maintain their breath while hold
ing on by their eyelids," as the phrase
went, and manipulating with careful
Gus and intricate arrangements for
crossing or sending down" the royal
and topgallant yards 1t was all done
at full speed, for it was universally
held that the upper yardmen gave a
character to the whole ship, and that
one which was foremost in the exercise
was ever considered "the smartest ship
in the fleet" The upper yardmen were
always the coming men. They had the
most opportunities for distinguishing
themselves, were the best known and
were most under the eye of the authori-
ties. They developed great muscular
power In chest, shoulders and arms.
Their lower extremities suffered and
one always knew the men who had
been upper-yardmen by their tadpole-
like appearance when they were bath
ing.
But in the modern steam line-of-bat-
tie ship and frigate these extremely
athletic specimens formed very small
minority of the ship company" and
none of them could lose his turn at be-
ing upper-yardmen so long as the ships
reputation depended upon the speed
with which the upper yards were
crossed and sent down. In harbor the
rest of the blue jackets had the hand
ling of the yards and sails for exercise
once or twice week, but at sea the
use of sails for propulsion grew less
and less important, and most OF the
work aloft was more of an exercise and
less of necessity.

The big, hearty, healthy man is a contin.

The other % have some digestive trouble,

these could trace their trouble to that most
prevalent evil--constipation. It's simple
thing of itself, but like many simple things,
it may grow and become complicated.
Constipation is the root of nine tenths of
the sickness of men, and of a large proper
ton of the sickness of women. 1t can be
cured. 1t can be cured easily, naturally

A NOVEL EXPERIMENT.
Californian to Try 1t In the San
Joaquin Valley.

Californian to Try 1t In the San
joaquin Valley.
Col. Charles F. Croker is going to
start coffee plantation down in the
San Joaquin valley, and it his expert
ment proves successful the fertile
ranches whereabouts will have boom,
says the San Francisco Chronicle. The
Pacific Mail company's steamer San
Juan, which arrived last Sunday,
brought from Central America 1000
yearling plants, with which Col. Crock
er will commence his interesting ven
tsre The plants were carefully select
ed by Samuel Howe, Col. Crockers
agent, who died Oh board the steamer
Dec. 1, but the object for which he
made the trip has been accomplished,
and the collection of plants, which per-
haps cost him his life, was landed here
safely and will be taken in charge by
Col. Crocker's gardener.
The coffee plants which Col. Croker
has secured for his experimental ranch
are of the hardy Arabian variety,
which produce the bulk of the coffee
of commerce. They are mere slips now
and are completely boxed in such a
manner that they do not take up much
space and might be overlooked by the
casual observer. But every precaution
has been taken to protect their roots
from the chill atmosphere, and they
are as good and fresh apparently as
when taken from their native soil. The
plants will be set out this fall most
likely, but six years must elapse before
they will be old enough to bear berries.
Scientists who have studied the soil
and climate of the San Joaquin valley
are somewhat doubtful as to whether
coffee plants will thrive there. The
coffee plant not only requires fertile
soil and plenty Of sunlight, but a GER
tain amount of moisture, and that is
where the rub comes in California.
