The dessert was served at 10 O. clock,

The Maine Farmer, one of the first to
advocate good roads, insists that the first
step i'll legislation, after making the high
WAY tax a montY tax is to regulate the
width of the tires in proportion to the
possible service OF the cart In France
the width of tires on wagons ranges from
three to ten inches, usually from four to
six. Every market wagon and tonnage
wagon is a roller; the forward axle is
about fourteen inches shorter than the
rear axle, so that the hind wheels run in
a line about an inch outside the level roll :
ed by the fore wheels In Germany wag-
ons used for drawing earth, brick, stone
and similarly heavy loads must nave a
width of tire of at least four inches. In
Austria all wagons built to carry a load OF
more than two and one quarter tons must
have tires at least four and one third
inches in width In lower Austria a rim
Of four and one half inches is required TO,
wagons drawn by two horses.

The Normal School question will no
doubt 60 over to the next legislature. If
a new Norma School is to be established
in the future we think there will be little
opposition to its location in Aroostook:
but is it wise to multiply institutions
which call for State aid? The present
tendf ncy is to have home or a hospital
oi a public institution of some kind in
every town or city, and as these call for
more OF less private aid in addition to
state appropriate MS the tax upon the
public is fast becoming d burden too
heavy to be bone. The State is now com
1nitted TO the building of a new insane
hospital at Bangor which will call for an
expenditure of $500, 600 within the next
TWO yeal :; and in view of the condition of
the treasury it would be unwise, to use
the mildest language possible, to rush
into heavy expenditures in other direc-
tons. We believe that the true policy
would be to decrease the number of State
institutions now existing and to increase
the efficiency of those remaining.
