Bad Roads to Blame.

The Leavenworth Times, in an edi-
torial on the good roads movement,
says, after speaking Of the Importance
of good roads to the farmer and rural
list: "In the cities would not the people
be healthier, happier, more hopeful,
would not life be sweeter and more re.
fined, If there was a more frequent
habit of seeking the fields and woods
and country villages? Nothing has
weaned people from their love Of the
country so much as bad roads-deep
mire during and after rain, thick dust
the rest Of the time"

Don't wait for your fervor to cool
before you act. The workmen at a
foundry might as we'll wait for the
moulten iron to cool before poring 1t
into the mould.
Let US remember that there is no
greater stumbling block in the way of
the reception of true religion than
the uncandid, untruthful, unjust, un-
generous deeds, words and tempers
sometimes seen among men who pro-
fess to be, and who, in certain sense,
are, "not of the world" .

So long az I may be star in Gods
heaven, I wish not for an existence
distinct from any other star. I desire
to be simply one in the galaxy, the
Milky way of heaven, adding little
10 the splendor, but not discernible as
separate individual.
What you learn from bad habits and
in bad society you will never forget,
and it will be lasting pang to you.
I will tell you in all sincerity, not In
the excitement of speech, that I would
give my right hand If I could forget
that which T learned in bad society.

Temperance and labor are the two
best physicians of men labor sharpens
the appetite, and temperance prevents
him from indulging in excess.
Think of what you area child OF
God, an heir of Heaven. Realize the
grandeur of saintliness. and you will
shrink from degrading your soul and
debasing your spirit. .
flittle value to society Is that man
or woman who never thinks thought
or forms an opinion until some one
else has given bis permission.

Medieval Lynch Laws In. Bavaria.

It is curious to note that In some parts
Of Bavaria a method Of procedure which Is
called Haberfeld treiben still prevails and
is practiced by the people in case OF
offenses which do not come within tho
pale Of the ordinary law. Neither person
nor property is injured. People assemble
with black or masked faces in front OF the
offenders house and howl, fire rifles and
beat pots and kettles. A mock sermon
setting forth the offense Of the person con:
csrned Is then recited in the hearing OF
the misdemeanant.-N and Queries.
