Roads

The engineer IN charge Of all TN,
highways Of England, says in repor
made, at the request of the State o.
California, that it requires more skill
in engineering by far TO build good
McAdam road, 80 that such road be
well drained and keep in good order
than to build railroad. He is not
alone in this, every work on good road
| iterates and reiterates the same state
ment that though the construction
looks simplicity itself, that such is not
the case. Is it not well known that
McAdam dug the rock that had been
used to repair the roads of Bristol out
Of the road, and with that rock con-
structed "a good and permanent road
His predecessors had the same material
and used it in the same roads, but by
lack Of proper drainage and family
construction, they had an impossible
road where McAdam afterwards had a
smooth highway.
Now we hope soon to have such
road as one Of McAdam's best, and it
is necessary that man skilled in road
construction should oversee every foot
of the road that we shall build We
want the best Of roads, for we wish to
teach our people what good roads are
aud how much cheaper a good road is
than bad one We want such good
road that strangers will say the super
visors Of that county know their duty
and do it. We want such "A road that
those who come here to buy lands will
say: "I'll buy where / can get to
market the easiest, and this Is the
place" We want road so good that
each man in the county who travels it
will say; 81 want such a road by my
place, finally" A good rock road does
not need repairing so soon nor so
as poor one, and we do |
not want to have to repair our roads |
any more frequently than necessary.
Surely this being 50, it cannot be
true that our supervisors do not intend |
10 have skilled inspection Of the build
ng Of the road that they have con-
racted for. Such lack Of inspection
would be unfair to the supervisors, to
he contractor and to tax payers, and
such lack Of fairness is not concurable
If our board Of supervisors. They will
beyond a doubt do all that is necessary
md have our roads properly construct
ID, and to treat their tax payers, con-
ractors and themselves with justice.

The New Man-as "A Youthful is
possible, 10y teaching, 10 make "a youth
leave both tobacco and liquor alone;
for, at worst or best. these are only ac-
quired tastes Of the human race; but 1t
is impossible by teaching to make the

site sex; for such teaching would run
counter to "A deep-seated impulse Of his
nature and nature will win. The story
is familiar to all Of us of the father who

The new man as a youth will not be
ignorant TO the existence Of girlhood
nor will he be Indifferent to the charm
and the polish Of female society. But
he will not look on woman with bold
and inquirng eyes, for he VIII already
know all that is necessary to know re-
garding the difference of sex that
makes sex attractive. And whence
this knowledge? Learned by his
mothers knee, OT at his fathers side,
little by little, as questions arose; the
whole strange provision Of nature I'M
folded before him a. a sacred page of
divine revelation, and its personal
bearings gradually brought home to
him by the analogies that exist be-
tween the plants Of the field, the beasts,
and himself-the intelligent and self
h0n0ring apex Of creation. Thus shall
his knowledge have been gained, and !
not from the whisperings and hints
and filthy inscriptions of low-minded |
who learn and who teach
4 divine truth, as though it sprang
rom the darkness Of debasement.
