GOOD ROADS NOTES, (
Important Charge to a Jury.

Judge Monks, of the Supreme
Court of Indiana, Judge Wright, Su-
preme Court of New York, and Judge
Woodward. of Luzerne County, Penn
sylvania, are said to have concurred
in the opinion that grand juries are
legally able to indict Road Commits
sioners who fail to keep the roads of
their districts in good and proper
order.
Judge Wright said, in charging a
grand jury at Rome, N. Y, every
Commissioner of Highways is answer
able if he fails to perform his duties
properly, and all who are guilty of
criminal neglect should be punished.
1t is your-the grand iury's-duty to
inquire into the conduct of public
officers and bring bills against any
guilty of criminal neglect. 1t will be
your duty, gentlemen, wherever the
old labor system prevails, to see that
the Commissioners do their duty faith
fully"
Continuing, he said that the people
of Oswego County are helping to pay
lol thCil Soou lOdio III otICi
of the State which have taken advan.
tage of the Higbie- ie-Armstrong law.
Fifty per cent. of the cost of the con-
struction of road is paid by State
taxation, thirty-fve by the county in
which the road is located, and fifteen
per cent. by the petitioners for the
improvement. He then explained the
Fuller law, which provides that cer-
tain per centage of the cost of high
way improvements in towns adopting
the money system is paid by the
State. In this country the residents
of the several road districts work out
their tax
Oswego County was paying its share
for the improvements to roads in
other counties of the State that have
adopted the system named, and 6
careful inquiry should be made to as
certain if the Highway Commissioner:
and Pathmasters of Oswego County
were honestly discharging their duties
here. -Oswego Daily Palladium.

Use clean road material.
Undertake road improvement sys.
tematically.
Appoint supervisor who will have
charge of all the road work.
Make road improvements in such a
way that they will be permanent
Classify roads according to the ma.
ture and extent of the traffic over
them.
Do not scatter money in making
trihing repairs on temporary struc-
lures.
Make road beats five miles in
length; choose the best men as path
masters, and keep them in office.
Roads, culverts and bridges will al
ways be required; their construction
in the most durable manner is most
economical.

Leschetizky, the famous teacher of
the piano in Vienna, often brightens
his talk with reminiscence. Il al
ways practiced piece with six dried
peas" he said to one pupil. when
l began l would lay the six peas on
the piano rack side by side. Then
when / had played the piece through
perfectly, or part of 1t, I would put
one of the peas in my pocket. And so
l would go on until l had played il
through perfectly six times in sue
cession and all the peas were in my
pockets. But if l made a single mis-
take, say in the third playing or the
fourth playing, | would put the six
peas on the rack and begin all over
again. Whoever practices with six
dried peas is sure to play as well as
he can."-Ladies' Home Journal.

There are several species of fish
reptiles and insects which never sleep
during their stay in this world
Among fish it is now positively known
that pike, salmon and goldfish never
sleep at all. Also that there are sew
eral others of the fish family that
never sleep more than a few minutes
during a month. There are dozens of
species of flies which never indulge in
slumber, and from three to five spe-
cies OF serpents which the naturalists
have never yet been able to catch nap

Improving New Jersey Highways.

The annual report of the Commits.
sioner of Public Roads in New Jersey
shows gratifying continuance of the
good work of improving the high
ways. Since the passage of the State
aid law there have been built 325
miles of road at cost of $565,S26.
The economy to the farmer in hauling
products to railway or market is clear
ly demonstrated, and the profit to the
community at large of this investment
OF public money may be studied to adj
vantage by the Legislatures of other
States. The report directs especial
attention to the experiment that is to
be made of laying steel roads for heavy
traffic, as suggested by Secretary Will
son, of the Department of Agriculture.
The progress of New Jersey in road
building has earned in particular the
approval and appreciation of bicyclists,
who can now wheel with comfort from
New York to Philadelphia.
