Good Roads Paw.

Why does the nimble- witted French
man spend $1S.O00,000 per year to main
tain good roads? His quick answer is.
1T pays" He knows that a horse can
take to market twice as much on a ma
cadam road as on a dry dirt road, and
four times as much on the average dirt
road in average condition, and eight to
ten times as much as when the dirt
road is turned to mud by the fall and
spring rains He also realizes fully it's
effect in shortening the distance to
market; it's effect on land values; it's
saving to wagons, horsess ETC.; he knows
that it quickens social communications
and adds wealth to the individual and
the State. The American farmer will
doubt this, but the Frenchman knows
this, for he has tried both ways.
This country stands to-day in greater
need of road missionaries than road en-
gineers. We need both, but we want
one hundred missionaries TO one engi-
neer. At present the ratio is about re-
versed. When a majority of the land
owners know that good roads pay, we
shall have good roads, and that soon,
too How this educational work can
best be carried on is a question upon
which some differ. Massachusetts,

There could not be much comfort in

the point we wish to make is upon the
higher ground that Jesus did not tell
us all the truth but leaves it to a joy

the outline ourselves. The simple fact
that certain relations of the sexes nee
essary only for the continued existence
of the race will not be continued in
