Tha Attitude OF Trust.

Writing about the attitude Of s'be.
LEVERS toward the future life, OF
whose details their knowledge is limit
ed, correspondent of the London Spec
tator insists that it should be one OF
trust, similar to that reposed by Carl
baldi's volunteers in their leader. Quot
ing from popular life of Garibaldi, in
Italian, the correspondent says:
"In 1859 Garibaldi' IS volunteers, some
rich, some poor, were near Alessandria.
On May %, the camp of the Alpine
Hrntsmen was in complete confusion.
The improyised soldiers rushed to arms
to the sound Of the trumpet.
:" Quick, quick!' said the officers.
we are to start.
Where are we going
".That is a mystery. Garibaldi
knows where, and that's enough.
.'Garibaldi went through the ranks
with words Of encouragement to the
weary and sympathy for the enthusias-
tic and in person saw to every need. "
This motley host drove the Austrians
in 90 hours battle 30 miles up the
Stelvio pass, over the glaciers Of the
Ortler and back into Tyrol.
ssThe most unkind thing, not only
the most imprudent thing comments
the correspondent, "would have been
for these volunteers to have been sup.
piled with a full and accurate plan OF
what lay before them. The silence OF
God as to the future life is at least
kind. knowledge without correspond
ing power to act tends to become a
burden. It would be no kindness to
humanity to bewilder it by descriptions
of an unrealizable state and to distract
it from that daily path of duty which
leads thither.

worriment q Stranger to Edison.

Two things are unknown to Thomas
A. Edison-discouragement and worry.
His associates claim that his freedom
from these affections comes from the
fact that he possesses absolutely no
nerves. Recently one Of his associates
had to report to him the failure in i'm
mediate succession of three experiments
involving enormous expenditure of
money and labor. But the inventor
simply smiled at the recital. The asso-
ciate, worn out with the nervous strain
of his long watch and disheartened by
his disappointment, said impatiently,
"Why don't you worry little about
it, Mr. Edison?'
"Why should I:'' was the inventors q
reply. you're worrying enough for
two. Ladies Home Journal.

Ancestors and Ancestry.

Now it must be admitted on common
sense principles that the formation OF
hereditary societies has reached nat
ural limit, and it is time to cry halt.
The reasonable conclusion is that these
societies should unite in work, If not IN
organization, and justify their existence
BY practical deeds. Ths end, however,
is apparently not yet. The ancestor
quest drives its followers to absurd
lengths. Forefathers conjured up rise
from the genealogical caldron in sort
Of harlequin procession-the ancestor in
buff and blue, the ancestor in scarlet
tunic, the bewigged ancestor, the jack
booted ancestor, until from the dim
twilight Of heraldic tradition the crown
ed ancestor looms up in the shadow. Is
there not something decidedly incon-
gruous in the spectacle Of descendants of
those who bade defiance to the third
George of the name seeking to establish
kinship with royalty through Saxon
chief or Norman freebooter? Does not
this latest departure tend to prove that
ancestor hunting has no limit, thas it
is simply a question of enterprise, re-
search and credulity? II we may estab-
lish the Order of the Crown, why may
we not in due course welcome new
hereditary society, lineal descendants of
the mariners of the ark, the Ararat
chapter, with proper insignia-suspend-
ed from a navy blue ribbon, dove

STATE AID FOR ROADS.
A Recognition That This Is the Solution
of tho Good Roads Problem.

A Recognition That This Is the Solution
Of tho Good Roads Problem.
The strongest impetus which the good
roads movement has received in many
years past was the passage by the New
York legislature of the Higbie-Arm-
strong good roads bill, says the Chicago
Times-Herald.
It is significant of the rapid growth
Of public sentiment in favor of state aid
to highway construction that the oppo-
sition to the measure could muster only
80 votes. Under this bill, which has
become a law, the state appropriation
for this year to expend for highway i'm
proyement will be $50, 600, which, it is
estimated, will amount to ! cent per
1000 Of assessed valuation, or 2H
cents on the average So, 500 farm.
The size Of each years appropriation
is fixed by the legislature, and as the
good results of the law become more
discernible and more generally recog-
nized it is not improbable that public
sentiment will demand in few years a
much larger appropriation. Under the
provisions by which county is author
lied to apply for portion of the good
roads appropriation the law becomes a
home rule measure. If the appropriation
should be increased to 81, 900, 600 in any
year, the average tax on each So, 500
farm would be only so cents, which
seems trifing expenditure considering
the immeasurable benefits that accrue
to agriculturists through good highways
to the markets.
With such notable example Of what
the state can do IN the way Of encour-
aging the construction of good highways
afforded by her neighbor, New Jersey,
the wonder is that New York did not
inaugurate the state aid system long
ago. Under the New Jersey law the
state bears one-third the expense, the
size Of the appropriation being deter
mined by the legislature. Under the
stimulus Of state aid nearly every coun-
ty in the state is now building macadam
roads, while there are already SO many
miles of stone roads in the state that it
can be traversed in every direction
without leaving them. Nineteen Of the
81 counties of the state have this yeaf
made application for their shares of the
appropriation.
The action of the New York legisla-
ture is gratifying recognition of the fact
that state aid is the ul-; aate solution
of the good roads probleL

Under her present road law 23S miles

Hard roads make access to the farms
