When man is making 4
change from one part of the
country to another,s there are
two things to which he gives es-
pecial consideration-the school
and the roads. These are con.
ditions which in many cases de.
termine his location. 1t is a
self evident fact, which is not
however always considered,
that if the wear and tear of We.
hicles and the term of a horses
useful life are considered, a
city makes an. immense saving
by bayinga smooth pavement.
The expenses for street repairs
may be greater, but the indi.
yidual expenses for vehicle
and horse are greatly iessened.
The same may be said oil coun-
try roads. They are costly,
but in these days they are a ne

q dozen noted doctors, friends
of mine. have told me of cases
attended by them where they
felt little moral doubt that the
patient was being murdered,
and yet they had to keep 81
lence. Put yourself in the po-
sition of a young and clever
doctor practicing amongst a
local community who is called
to a patient of some position.
He actually suspects that the
latter is being poisoned, and
then ensues an awful dilemma.
Ip whom, is. he to contide? If he

most serious results; besides a

at once alter his will to the det-

victims often deceive them
selves in this way. A blindly
credulous patient-under the
thumb Of 4 young woman, say
might cause a scene at once,
and order the doctor to be kick

is stated at less than $500. O00
@. What is the largest rev

much as $4,000, 900.
g. What would be the cost
of the army and navy necessary
to conquer the rebellions of saw
ages of the archipelago? A.

A. Nobody knows.

A Everybody who buys tea,

u. Will these taxes be suf.
