Young Man Brought from Bath Made Sim

E,ighty-five cigarettes a day is the
average reached by Reuben Richards
of Bath. according to his own state
inant. He was brought to the Insane
asylum for treatment, Friday, by Po-
lice officer William n. Merrill of that
city.
Richards is only about Is years OF
age, but he has acquired great prof.
cheney in the cigarette line, as his rec
ord shows. The unfortunate fellow,
for unfortunate he surely is, has been
made simple by the practice. While at
home he is said to have played dolls
all the while talking to himself in a
silly fashion.
He is pale and shows the results OF
his disastrous smoking.

RURAL EXISTENCE.
Building of Good Roads VIII Make
II Delightful Indeed.


Wherever eXperimentsinrur maild de-
livery have been made it has been found
towork most successfully-during clear
weather when the roads were all right.
Which indicates how indissolubly
linked together are the problems of
good roads and the uplift of the social
life of the farm.
The time has come when the Ameri-
can farmer must sit down to think out
this question of good roads and how to
get them. 1t is not an eXaggeration to
say that to the future of American agri-
culture few things bear so important
relationship as does the question of
good roads. Indeed, if the generation
now growing up on the farm is to be
kept on the farm, better social advan-
tages will be found absolutely neces-
sary, and what single thing could con-
tribute so much as good roads to the
elevation of life upon the farm?
But the whole question is being dis
russed in desultory and indeterminate
way, which promises nothing for the
future. Organized effort, in which the
wheelmen of the town and the farmer
of the country should stand shoulder to
shoulder, must be put forth if substan-
tial advance is to be made With the
harvests out of the way, there should be
set on foot a movement looking to this
end.
With good roads farm life will have
all the delights of rural existence, to
which will be added the advantages of
the town, of daily mail, of social in
tercourse with neighbors, of musicales
and lectures brought near. Good roads
will transform the farm, which so many
now desert for the city, into the most
attractive of homes, and give once more
to agriculture first place among the
professions and occupations of life

THE COST DIVIDED.
New Jerseys Road Improvement Luz"
Il Just and Fair.

Is just hhN
The farmers of the country are grau,
ually going over to the belief that goou
roads are for their personal benefit ana
there is n decided change of sentiment
along the line in many OF the states'
One of the chief obstacles to the reform
has been the fear of the farmers that
the cost of highway Improvements
would fall chiefly on them and as they
feel that they are already burdened
heavily enough they resist the passage
of pood-roads laws with their local IN
fiuence and their votes often to the de-
feat of these worthy projects. New
Jersey has law now in force however
that illustrates how properly this BUR
den can be divided between the indlvld-
ual and the community so that 1t falls
lightly upon the farmer. This law APP
portions the cost of all road improve
meuts as follows: One-third is paid by
the state, one-tenth by the individual
beneficiary of the improvement, the
owner of the abutting property, ana the
remainder by the county in which the
improvement occurs. Reduced to
scale of thirtieths the state pays ten
parts, the individual three parts and
the county seventeen parts. Stated IN
still another way the various burdens
are more easily appreciated. The aver
age cost of repairing road with "a
macadam finish is about $4,000 mile.
OF this sum the county would pay ST.
700, the state 1000 and the individual
$500. 1t is to be remembered that the
$500 in this case is usually divided
among several persons. as few proper
ties in this section of the country ex-
tend for much more than a quarter or
half a mile along highway, and the
tax is assessed on the owners on each
side of the road. Thus it will frequent
ly occur that the individual will pay d.
rectly for frst-class road in front of
his property and for mile adjacent
such a small sum as $40 or $50. To be
sure he pays as well his share of the
county tax and in less proportion his
part of the state tax, but these burdens
are comparatively light and easily
borne. These Improvements in New
Jersey are undertaken on the petition
of the owners of the abutting property.
Such laws as this, if copied in other
states. would probably result in an i'm
mediate betterment of the country
roads in every section, an improvement
