A Practical Idea. Frny,, tha Noru-,ob R1,IIatiu I

We expect practical ideas from practical men, hence when Highway Commissioner Macdonald proposes at intervals to hold good road meetings in the different counties, we are not surprised. Being a practical man he knows how to address practical, men, and that is just what the Connecticut selectmen and farmers be. It is all we'll enough to read in print about the merits of gravel roads, of macadam roads and of Telford roads; but it takes man of experience to make plain their comparative merits, and the practical advantages of permanent structures
 MT. Macdonald is man of knowl- edge in this field. and yet he does not claim to know it all. In any field of knowledge the man who knows the most has the best conception of what there is to be known. The man who thinks he knows it all has just reach ed the verge of becoming fossilized. That Is thing to be evaded. Meet, exchange thoughts and experiences, get a Title progressive illumination, at- tain the keen perception of enterprise, and forge ahead because necessity and wisdom demand it.
 Such meetings would be to this work like the prologue of a good poem-an introduction, preparation of what is to follow:-the paving of the paying. These meetings would be an eminently proper thing; and what profitable thing they would be If they should prompt men to find as much pleasure in contributing to the public good as for their private qualification, and that there is private qualification in much that is done for the public good.
 Highway Commissioner Macdonalds mind is fully illumined for the work and his educational ideas are worth promulgating.

THOSE QUEER RAILROAD MAPS.

Those who have studied railroad maps have been impressed with the di- rect way in which the railroad whose map is being studied goes from enc important point to another. A ride over the road or a look at the map of another railroad will often raise a sus- picion as to the correctness of the di- rectness. The Railroad Gazette con firms such suspicious by printing a railroad map made by tracing on a correct map the various trunk fines as they are represented in their respec- tive maps. Each railroad tries to make it's own line straighter than all the rest and in order to do so does not scruple to move large cities out of their proper places. Washington and Baltimore, for example, are uniformly represented in railroad maps as many miles north of their actual position. The real Phila. delphia, as shown in the Gazetta's H. lustration, has no railroads, and the fictitious Philadelphia is far to the northwest. Cleveland is placed i'll the center of Lake Erie. Every considcra ble town has three or four different pc. sitions, according to the interest oi this or that railroad. But why, it is asked, should the railroads not agree on uniform map? There is no ad. vantage in distorting the geography ot the country by shifting cities around It is the cost of the ticket, not the lcol of the map, that decides the averagt traveller.

It is altogether probable that. those who are expecting trouble between this country and Spain are expecting that which will not happen. We have been so friendly with Spain for so long a time and through such a stormy time that it is hardly possible that the an- cient and we'll established friendship will be disturbed now If our govern ment wants Spain to apologize for De Lome she will doubtless do so. She ought to do 1t, for he got caught, and she will. The De Lome incident will soon be closed just as, the other incl dents have been, and everything will be as friendly as the warship Maine in the harbor of Havana.

to-day? Who is the greatest English novelist of the century? say George Eliot. She was a greater mind than Dickens or Thackeray or any of the others. As for my favorite novelist, that's Jane Austen. I don't say [ haven't read greater fiction, but for all the year round pleasure I'll choose her books.
 No. haven't any patience with this talk about woman's literary limita- tions. Lack of opportunity and strength are the only ones can see. and the men have to wrestle with those. Any one who has great intcr- est in human nature and the patience to work can write we'll. don't believe in genius. You do? Oh, well, one must have brain; but there's more in hard work than most people realize. So few writers have the patience to do the best they can with the truth they find. Work will make anything worth while. A newspaper interview should be as perfect in its way as 8 poem.
 There might have been another note of warning sounded therean intima- tion that a busy man couldn't afford t0 waste time and that 1t would be well to get to work upon that interview as soon as possible. However, MT. How ellis eyes and voice still smiled, and probably he didn't mean more than he said.--New York Sum-.

APRETTY FAIR PLACE.

The councilmen apparently didn't think it necessary to give New Haven "a character We think their action was wise. The extravaganza of the at tack that has been made on New Ha- ven and Yale, and the folly of the boy colt that has been declared, are appar- ent to most sober-minded and reason able people everywhere. There is roth- ing like unjust abuse to make friends for the unjustly abused one, and if the sensible people of New Haven will go right along as they have been doing, and will refrain from making the same blunder that those who are attacking New Haven and Yale are making the truth will soon stick out. It will not be wise to sputter or call names, and it will not be wise to assert that this re- zion is a devilless Eden. It isn't, but it is a reasonably honest and decent place, and no freshman has ever been turned into a salt man for looking re- gretfully back on it when on his sad and weary way to Milford.

better terms with them. Already the slaves are beginning to submit com plaints to the vice-consul, and to ''go on strike" Their ideas of liberty, how ever, are exceedingly vague. In one case a slave girl was beaten by her mistress until her back was in ribbons. The woman was arrested and com pelled to release her victim, after pay ing her forty rupees. When the newly emancipated girl was asked what she meant to do with so much money she replied that she intended to buy slave for herself.

here, the empire models are entirely safe to build upon. This dress was cream cashmere, it's deep yoke showing corded tucks in groups of two each, This was bordered with a filmy lace ruff1e and band of embroidered ba- tiste insertion. At the point of the yoke in front was put a large bow of cream satin ribbon with long ends, and the collar was of the same ribbon. A number of corded tucks finished the skirt at the hem.
 Judicious search through the wares now offered as bargains may bring to light some fine values in flannel shirt waists. These in scarlet, gray or white the latter are very rare-are an ex- cellent investment now at half price. You are sure to get lot of wear out of them this summer, and the scarlet flannel will be almost as swagger next summer as it has been this fall and winter. Poplin shirt waists in plaids are also worth consideration. Plaid vests are a little gone by, but a big bar gain will serve you this spring. in cool summer weather and next fall. Mus lin and French underwear is really sold very low at this time of year, and now is the time to lay in stock. The counters are being cleared of left over regular stock to make way for "at- tractive novelties" Now, attractive novelties are very nice and pretty, but most of us dress out of regular stock. So invest in undergarments, night dresses and dressing sacques at the sales, and you may buy a dainty qual- ity that at another time of year, per- haps, your purse could not afford.

THE SUFFERING GOLD-BUG,

A recent sale of Missouri State bonds shows the extent to which the price of money has fallen in this country within the past few years. The bonds bore per cent. interest, amounted to SS50,O00 and were sold at premium
 They were issued to refund bonds bear ing per cent. interest, which had previously been issued to take up bonds bearing 10 per cent. interest, this last mentioned issue being sold for 75 cents on the dollar The date of this sale was 1869, when greenbacks were worth only 75 cents on the dollar. Af- ter showing that the rate for private loans in Missouri has fallen to nearly the same extent in the same time, the Globe Democrat makes the following pertinent point This is a little differ ent sort of story from that which the silver orators tell. They pretend that interest and fixed charges for farmers and others remain the same as durlng the war period, while prices of farm products and the wages of labor have gone down. The figures here given, however, show that interest in Missou- ri is much less than half as high as it was twenty-five or thirty years ago. Allowing for the premium now on pub lie bonds and the discount then, the present rate of interest is only about a third what it was at that time. Ex- Governor Stone, like his friend Bryan, have often shed metaphorical tears over the crime of 1873. by which half of the country's money was struck down and the value of the other half enormously increased" Governor Stone, and every other person in this State, and in almost every other State, no matter how poor or obscure, who has acceptable security to offer, can

borrow money for half what he would have had to pay for 1t in 1872.
 The farmers and the wage-workers are of course not getting all they want, but they can we'll afford to consider the sorrows of the gold-bug. He too is suffering. The great fall in the rate of interest has hurt his feelings and his pile" But he knows enough to know that Appreciated currency wouldn't help him. and the farmers and the wage-workers ought to know that It wouldn't help them. Many of them do.

According to the official report, just published, of the British vice-consul, O'Sullivan, on the island of Pemba, it appears that the decree abolishing slavery in the proctorate of Zanzibar, although by no means dead letter, is nevertheless very slow in taking ef- feet. Only few slaves have obtained their freedom yet, with compensation for their services, but the condition of affairs is due largely to the stupidity of the negroes, who cannot comprehend the opportunities offered to them. New ertheless the existence of the law has ameliorated the condition of the slaves to marked degree, as their Arab mas ters, knowing that the day of freedom is at hand, see the wisdom of treating them with more humanity and making

Experiments made recently by scien- tific men in France, says the London Standard, have developed somewhat curious and unexpected fact, namely, that certain persons possess magnetic polarity-that are found to act after the manner of magnets, having, in fact, north and south poles. In such case the individual, on being completely un- dressed and placed near a sensitive gall vanometer, will, when turned on ver- tical axis, cause a Reflection, first in one direction and then in the opposite, just as a magnet will do. It is not as- sumed that all persons possess this polarity, but in the case of Professor Murani, an Italian, upon whom the ex- pertinent was tried, the phenomenon was unmistakably exhibited, it being found that his breast corresponded to north pole and his back to a south pole.

Twelve hundred clergymen of the English church have united in recom- mending book called "A Book for the Children of Cody The spirit of the book may be inferred from the follow ing passage in it: ''The Catholic Church is the home of the Holy Ghost. It is His only earthly home. He does not make His home in any Dissenting sect. Sometimes people quarrel with the Church and break away from her, and make little sham churches of their own. We call these people Dissenters and their sham churches sects. The Holy Ghost does not abide-does not dwell with them."
