Road Matter. In Vermont.

1t is felt in Vermont that the good
roads cause has received setback, but
efforts are being made to revive it and
secure favorable action from the next
legislature. The state highway commits
sion which existed for several years
possessed little authority, but served a
good purpose as q bureau of informa-
tion. In 1894 their powers were en-
larged, public meetings were held in
each county, road officials and citizens
were interested in the work, improved
methods of maintenance were adopted,
and the roads were kept in better condi-
ton without increase of expense. The
legislature of 1896, however, abolished
the commission, thus leaving the move
ment without head and causing de-
moralization. This fall sample road
under government supervision is to be
constructed at Vergennes, and it is
hoped that it will be followed by re-

FIRST FLOOR PLAN.

TALLY SO, that the occupant may have
greater privacy. The parlor should be the
choicest room, command the best view and
be planned to have direct communication
with the reception hall. The kitchen
should be placed in the rear, have good
ventilation, be easily accessible to the din
ing room and contain kitchen or but
ler's pantry between. This makes the two
rooms private and at the same time ne
duces the odor of cooking which more or
less permeates the rest of the house. By
having two doors between these rooms this
disagreeable feature Is entirely avoided.
In the arrangement of rooms on the sec
ond floor each chamber should contain an
ample closet and all rooms have easy ac-
cess to the bathroom. 1t is desirable to
finish as many rooms on the first floor in
hard wood as the limit of cost will allow
The finish and decoration Of other parts
of the house will of necessity be controlled

The plan shown here is one which in
cludes all Of these comfd&ts and modern
improvements and which would suit the
most fastidious of tastes. The first floor
consists of parlor, dining room, reception
hall, den and kitchen. This floor has been

kENrUcKY'S BAD ROADS.

Responsible For tho Ignorance and Crime
Common Among the Mountaineers.
Recently a reporter interviewed many
Of the prominent citizens Of the noun
famous counties Of Kentucky as to the
reason for the prevalence of feuds and
the resultant murders and other crimes
so common in that section. Among
others Hayden Brock, young noun
taineer, who lives in Laurel county, and
has been o student at the State college
in Lexington for three years, was ask
ed what, in his opinion, caused noun.
tain feuds. He hesitated before answer
ing, but he finally said:
Z "Bad roads. You see, our roads are
so bad that four horse team can haul
only 1880 pounds Of goods from Lon
don to Manchester. This can be done
only during the summer and fall months.
In the winter and spring it is impossi-
BILE to haul empty wagons over this
road, and the mail has to be carried on
pack mules. We are therefore shut off
from the world during at least five
months in the year, and when we do

costly that many of our people have
never seen q railroad train and know
nothing about cities. These bad roads
prevent our children from going to
school during the winter months, and
the result is that we have great deal
of illiteracy. The mails are few and
necessarily slow, so that we are entirely
out of touch with the world and all
that is going on In It, Freights are also
very high. IT, costs 35 cents per 100
pounds to haul freight from London to
Manchester, and to Hyden, the county
seat of Letcher county. it costs 70 cents
per 100.
lowing to the poor roads very little
work can be done in the winter, and
the enforced idleness breeds ignorance
and crime. Many Of our people spend
their dreary winter days and nights
in making and drinking moonshine
whisky, and this often results in shoot
ings and killings, and often starts feuds.
If we had better roads, we would have
more and better schools, there would
be fewer illiterates, and our people
would have something else to think
about besides shooting and killing. We
have many bright young people here in
the mountains, but they have no oppor-
tunities, and the bad roads keep them
at home, SO they usually drift into feuds
and often become outlaws. Bad roads
are the bane of the mountains, and they
cause all the feuds."

ments of It's proposed occupants. The stu
alton of all doors should be carefully stud
led out SO that free and easy communioa-
ton may be had between the different
rooms and other parts of the house. Great
care should also be taken to prevent odors
from one part of the house prevailing in
another, and with proper forethought this
can always be done. ALI rooms should be
as square as possible, or partly SO. as any
room that is cramped or distorted makes
difficult the placing of furniture. By OBJ
serving this rule all space possible may be
utilized
The relative positions of the different
rooms would depend greatly upon the con-
ditions of the site and adjoining build
ings, SO that windows, etc., may be placed
where they insure the greatest privacy.
The points of the compass should also be
carefully observed, especially In the plac-
ing Of radiators or registers for the warm
ing Of the building They should always
be placed well to the north of building.
Having the north end of the building
warmed, the south will take care of itself
1t is desirable to place the dining room SO
that 1t will have southern exposure. The
library or den should, if possible, be SO
designed as to be isolated wholly, or par

ROAD CONSTRUCTION.

Contractors Should Be Compelled to
Closely Follow Specifi cations.
Specifications and contract for road
may be all right, but the work of con-
struction needs to be constantly watched
in order to insure the literal carrying
out of their provisions Contractors, as
q rule, do not appreciate the necessity
for being precise in following out all
details. They are neither engineers nor
scientific road builders and little
variation in the size of the stone, the
effect of light rollers and insufficient
rolling or the use of clay for binding
purposes, does not seem to them to be
of much moment. They know that they
can finish up job with horse roller
and plenty of clay for binding and make
the surface appear as fine as can be de-
sired. There their concern ends. The
mud that works out with every rain
and the rapidity with which large
stones show through the surface do not
trouble them.
Macadam is not perhaps an ideal
road. but there is vast difference be-
tween different sorts of road built un-
der that name. If rightly constructed
and judiciously maintained, thoroughly
satisfactory results are assured, but if
more or less crudely built and then in
differently maintained or neglected, as
is apt to be the case, it is an expensive
luxury likely to cause disappointment.
1t is folly to suppose that any one can
build road. 1t requires special knowl-
edge and experience to construct one
properly and a rigid adherence to the
terms Of properly drawn specifications

A Library Notion.

In library whose wall tapestries were
rows of bookshelves broken by rare old
prints q delightful sense of use of the
volumes was conveyed by tho low, narrow
divans that stood against the shelves at
intervals. They invited sinking down
into comfortable pose close to the treas
ures at hand. Although many of the books
were rare and all Of them valuable, none
was behind glass, leather strip of two
inches being fastened at the end of each
shelf with leather covered nails This
offered a good protection against dust.
Unquestionably such a way of caring for
books is the most attractive, conveying as
1t does the idea Of easy access and much
use. The furnishing quality Of books Is
largely lost when they are packed In reg
ular rows behind glass doors, even though
the frames of the doors may be costly and

Road Building q Science.

Roadmaking is now and has been for
three-quarters Of century science in
Europe, and no one insists more strong
ly ON the primary necessity of proper
location than does the European road
builder. 1t is rigid rule with him that
the topography Of the country is to be
taken into constant consideration. 1t is
his fixed formula that he must not as
cend foot unless it is impossible to
avoid it and that when he has assembled
that foot he must not descend it.
The formula is SO simple, meaning
merely level and we'll drained roads,
that it seems absurd that any one should
quarrel with its proposition or insist
upon building roads otherwise.

readily be seen, embodies comfort and con-
venience and utilities all space possible. A
spacious veranda covers the entire front Of
the building, and it matters not which
way the sun shines you will have shade on

contains four large chambers, with bath
room containing water closet, bathtub and
washbowl Every room is semidetached
except the servants chamber. A sewing
room, with balcony covered, over the front
veranda is very fine feature. 1t is also
intended for use as a children's playroom

servants use. On the third floor are five
chambers, two for servants and three for
family use, spare rooms or guest chambers.

Electricity and Medicine.

These two great curative agents, when scien-
tifically used, will cure many OIL the so-called
incurable diseases. Physicians who have
never studied the use ofeectricity frequently
pronounce their cases hopeless, after telling
the poor sufferers that nothing more can be
done for them, not always, possibly, fom lack
pensive instruments. The small batteries so
frequently carried from one patient to the
other, are of little use to say the best, and be-
cause they fail TO cure the sufferers is no good
reason to condemn electricity in general. We
have the largest and best Office batteries in
this part of the state, and are curing many
sufferers who had been given up in despair.
Our Office is supplied with the best X-Ray
machine made, and has proven of incalcul-
able value in diagnosing obscure diseases.

without proper care it often fails to give
satisfaction. One Of the commoncst mis-.
