France Leads in Good Roads.

There are, 1t is estimated, 800 900
miles Of highway roads in the United
States, about 20 per cent OF the roads
OF all the world. Great Britain has
10000 miles OF highways and these
are some OF the best in the world.
Germany has 275, 900 miles OF roads, and
some Of them are as poor as the road
ways OF a great country can be.
France, which has taken an enlight-
ened view of the good roads question
for many years. and has spent by gov
ernmental or local authority over
S1,000,000.000 on highways, has a road
mileage OF $3.50, coo, more than any other
country. Russia, with an enormous
area, has only 10000 miles OF roadways,
while Italy, a smaller country, has
$4,000. On fine stone roads one horse
can haul as much as three horses can
haul over an average dirt road OF this
country. 1t is estimated that II would
be necessary to build about 100000
miles OF macadamized roads in the
United States in order to have as good
a system of public highways as Is found
in several European states. At $4,000
a mile this would involve an outlay of
$4,000, 900 900.

LOVES VICTORY
BY BERTHA M. CLAY.

VI can hardly describe it. She is never
rude or insolent; If she were, appeal to Sir
Oswald would be very easy. She has q grand,
lofty way with her-an imperious carriage
and bearing that | really think he admires.
She ignores me, overlooks me, and there is a
scornful CLEAN in her eyes at times, when
she does look at me, which says more plain
ly than words. you married for money!"
And you did a very sensible thing, too,
my dear. | wish, l only wish l had the
management of Miss Darrell; | would break
her spirit, if 1t is to be broken"
II do not think it is" said Lady Darrell,
rising as though she were weary of the dis
c%ussion. There is nothing in her conduct
that any II could find fault with, yet l feel
she Is my enemy"
walt a while" returned Lady Hampton;
'her turn will Gomez
And from that day the worthy lady tried
her best to prejudice Sir Oswald against his
proud, beautiful, hayward niece.

to laugh, but one look at the beautiful proud
face, with It's dark, proud eyes and firm lips,
would bring the coward fear back again.
She tried her best to conciliate her. She
was always putting little pleasures, little
amusements, in her way, OF which Pauline
never availed herself. She was always urg-
ing Sir Oswald to make her some presents or
to grant her some indulgence. She never
interfered with her; even when suggestions
from her would have been useful, she never
made them. She was mistress of the house,
but she allowed the utmost freedom and lib
erty TO this girl, who never thanked her, and
who never asked her for n single favor.
Sir Oswald admired this grace and sweet.
ness I'm his wife more than he had ever adj
mired anything else. Certainly, contrasted
with Pauline's blunt, abrupt ~franknesS, these
pretty, bland, Sllave ways shone TO advan-
tage. He saw that his wife did her best to
conciliate the girl, that she was always kind
and gracious TO her. He saw, also, that Pau
line never responded; that nothing ever
moved her from her proud, defiant attitude
she had from the first assumed.
He said 10 himself that he could only hope;
In time things must alter; his wife's caress-
ing ways must win Pauline over. and then
they would be good friends.
so he comforted himself. and the edge of the
dark precipice was for q time covered with
flowers.
h autumn and winter passed away,
s~pring-tide opened fair and beautiful, and
Miss Hastings watched her pupil with daily
increasing anxiety. Pauline never spoke Of
her disappointment; she bore herself as
though 1t had never happened, her pride
never once giving way; but, for all that, the
governess saw that her whole character and
disposition was becoming warped. She
watched Pauline in fear. II circumstances
had been propitiouS to her, if Sir Oswald
would have but trusted her, would but nave
had more patience with her, would but have
waited the sure result of a little more knowl-
edge and experience, she would have dcycl-
oped into a noble and magnificent woman,
she would have been one of TIE grandeSt
Darrells that ever reigned III the old Court.
But Sir Oswald had not trusted her: he had
not been willing to wait the result of patient
training; he had been imprtuOus and hasty,
and, though Pauline was too proud to own
It, the disappointment preyed upon her until
1t completely changed her. 1t was all the
deeper and more concentrated because she
made no sign.
h girl, noble of soul, grand OF nature,
sensitive, proud, and impulsivc, gave her
whole life TO one idea-her disappointment
and the vengeance due it; the very grandeur
of her virtues helped to intensity her faults;
the very strength of her character seemed to
deepen and darken the idea over which she
hrooded necessarily by night and by day.
She was bent OF vengeance.

Glass skates.

The newest feature of interest i'm the
New York ice Kinks is the use Of glass
skates. 1t is found that skates with
glass runners are far better, both for
speed and ease i'm gliding for pleasure,
than are the skates with metal run
ners, and several pairs are now being
used in one of the metropolitan Kinks.
The inventor has succeeded in reduc-
ing the glass TO n hardness that in
sures an edge which practically never
becomes blunt. The tempcring pro-
cess remains a ~cecret, but il is II fact
that severe contact with hard ice does
not fracture the glass. TO look at
these skates one would not suppose
they were made of anything else than
metal, for the runners are always col
ored, in order TO disguise the sub
stance of which they are made. The
coloring process is arbitrary, and tints
in the case of ladies' skates are always
made to correspond with the colors of
the wearer's costume. The runners of
these glass skates are attached direct
ly TO III especially made shoe which
laces from the heel up the back. The
combination not only gives Il skate
which is perfectly easy in motion. bat
the high shoe stiffens the ankle to an
extent which greatly aids in the en-
joyment and adds TO the safety of the
exercise.

The I,omarsic south Is Passing.

Americus, Ga, Times : Recorders:
While many northern dollars have
been invested in southern enterprises,
it is admitted that by far the greater
part of the increased wealth is due to
southern intelligence and energy. Yet
this is only the beginning. The iron
area of the south, 100 miles in length
aud 200 miles in width, paralleled by
belts of coal and limestone, is only
worked in.its yestibule, as it were. In
a few years hundreds Of shops, whose
fires will be fed from the coal at the
doors, will surround every present one.
We are assured that Alabama is now
laying down iron in England at prices
with which the English producers say
they cannot compete at any profit.
Onellalf of all the standing timber of
the country is in the south. 1t is not
so many years since the south bought
all its meat and its corr in the north.
and the carrying of these for which
vast sums were paid by the impover-
lshed people, was the main support of
ines of steamers. The romantic south
south is passing. So is the impoyer-
ished south.

Turley was constant in his attentions

markable strength.

Mystery of Shoe SiZ =.

New York Sun: Although everyone
has his feet measured for shoes, there
are very few persons who know what
the sizes marked upon the shoe stick
mean. There are two shoe sticks in
use in America and Europe. The stick
used in the United States was original
~ English, and is still used in Eng
land. The rest of Europe uses the
French stick.
The sizes on the English shoe stick
were derived from the length of a bar
ley corn, and they run three to the
inch. The first mark on the stick, or
size /, is made arbitrarily, just four
and one-half inches from the upright.
Why this distance was fixed upon does
not appear to be known. For some
other reason which only can be
guessed at the graduated part of the
stick is again divided into two sets of
numbers. These numbers begin at /
and run up to 13, and then they begin
again at ! and run up to 10. The first
numbers from 1 To 3 are known as in
fant's sizes, theses from 6 to 10 as chill
dren's, from II TO 2 as misses sizes,
from 2b to 6h as womeu's, and from
I to 10 as mems sizes.
The French shoe stick is divided into
a great many more sizes than the En-
glish, and the French shoemaker sub
divides these again, as is done with the
English sticks, into half sizes. There
Is no exact relationship between the
markings on the two sticks, but the
French size 16 corresponds to the En-
glish infants 1, and their size A is the
same as the English size 10 for men.
A woman who wears a 2h shoe by En-
glish measure would get a "a on 35 by
the French measure, and n man with a
Z foot by English measure would wear
II 40 shoe in France. Over here the
width Of the shoe is designated by a
letter, while the French use figures.
The width A A a is the French o o O..
b is the French l and T. + is the
French 8 width.
