A IN ENGLAND.
They Receive Constant Supervision
and Excellent Care.

English roads are good because they
are well built and well cared for is the
conclusion arrived at by a writer who
has been investigating the subject.
lie says they are the finest anywhere in
the world. Some of the highways Lead
irg out of Bath were made by the Ro-
mans. and all the other highways are
OF scientific construction. with deep
foundations and ample provisions for
draining. Besides they receive con-
slant supervision and care. Every
county council has n standing commit
tee on roads. which takes charge of the
highways and keeps them in repair.
The committee is divided into sub
committees, to zach OF which is as
signed a district. There is an inspector
for each division who employs a force
OF road members and holds each re-
xponsible for a portion Of a road as
signed him. The road member lives in
a cottage on the line Of the highway
which he is required to keep in order.
He goes over the road every day and
removes in O barrow everything that
IL unsightly. After each heavy rain he
looks out for breaks. and mends them
by dumping loads Of flint where need
cd. Supplies Of flint are kept along
the road at intervals. ready for the use
CT the road member. He watches the
road the year around. and IL there 10
any neglect. he receives a sharp warn
ing from the inspector. This Is the
English system OF maintaining good
roads. and il will be necessary to have
a similar system in this country before
the roads here will compare with those
Of the older country.

Down on Broadway one bright morn
ing recently Two men were walking
brishiy. They we're dressed with great
care and good taste. Shiny silk hats,
fresh gloves and glossy shoes indicated
not only attention 10 l.t;le things but
also a comfortable income.
Both men had alert Intelligent faces,
and each looked as IL he might lie

to be unknown TO the majority Of those
OH the street. but in his companion pc
destrians recognized one whose reputa-
tion is national. and whose picture has
appeared ut ore time and another in
newspapers al over the country.
At the corner Of Cedar street stood a
short. chunky" lad. perhaps Is years
old. dressed in ovcralls and Jumper"
In one hand he carried a piece Of lead
pipe. in the other a soiled scrap of
paper. His smutty face had in anxious
look.
As the two wcli-drcsscd men reached
the boy he stopped them with: SAY.

The older man took the paper with a

that the place was probably on the
other side of the street. He excused
himself to his friend. wadcd through
the mud on the crossing. and. with the
plumbers apprentice at his side,
searched tho signs without success.
Then he took the boy TO the drug
store on the corner and helped him run
over the IN in the directory until he
found that the boys employer had
made a mistake in the number.
The correct address was substituted
and the lad in ovcralls put upon the
with such marked courtesy that the boy
paused. as he turned away. TO say in a
somewhat subdued tone: much

The man in the silk hat bowed cour-
teously in acknowledgment. and re-
crossed the street TO his waiting friend.

SAVING A CRUSHED ARM.

Bones with Piano Wire.

NEW YORK, June 2S.--Valentine Sauer,
young, powerful, full of health and vitality,
stepped off south-bound First-avenue car
at Sixty-frst street Saturday night and was
knocked down by a car bound north on the
same line. The car was running at fair
rate and his agility saved him from being
cut in two, but he was not quick enough
10 save his right arm. The steel-shod
wheel went over it, cutting through the
bones and tendons, breaking the bones in
several places and leaving the arm ter
ribe mass Of mangled tissue, almost sew
cred completely. While the man lay faint
ing some one stanched the flow of blood till
ambulance from the Flower Hospital
dashed up. In most hospitals it would have
been a case for immediate amputation.

first to be thoroughly cleaned, for the
heavy wheel had fairly ground the dirt and
powdered stone and other refuse matter

bone were taken Up and neatly joined to-

teries and nerves were seWed up and the
broken bones set in the usual way. DIR.
