roads in fourteen counties have already been
made. on which II is expected that work VIII
begin as soon as the State makes the necessary
appropriation.
No doubt the coming Legislature Will be urged
10 make some sort Of provision for this purpose,
and presumably there will be an appropriation
the size Of which will depend to some extent
upon the weight Of evidence and opinion col
lected from the localities where the law has
been put into practical operation. We hope that
this influence will be strong enough to secure
liberal response. 1t Is hardly worth while TO say
that the State OF New-York can afford TO spend
a handsome sum of money on its highways. The
simple truth is that It cannot afford not to do so.

GIVE THEM TIME.
Don't Treat Possible Customers as a
Parrot Might.

Some days ago the writer went in
to a Vinita store-or started in-but
was met at the threshold by IA clerk
with the over-anxious inquiry, ANY
thing today?n Now the said writer
has down town ''hang-outr (under
the maple trees at the Hotel Cobb
from now until next October is able
to ask for what he wants, but prefers
to enter the store before making his
wishes known. 1t is possible that the
well-meaning clerk is doing just as
his father told him to when he started
"to town" in search OF job, in case
he was successful, but there was al
most--in his acts more than his words
the suggestion of the alternative:
"If not keep outS" Don't be
overly anxious; give the customer
time to catch his breath, at least. In
an instant it may become apparent
the person did not come IN to pur-
chase, and in that event you may save
him the embarrassment Of having to
tell you so.
An item in chapter addressed to
clerks, taken from Success, is as fol-
lows: Don't chase customers! Wait
till they stop and show that they are
interested in goods or some depart
ment, then approach them in a busi-
ness like manner"

Too Polite for Him.

A brave, active. intelligent terrier
one day discovered monkey belong
ing to an intinerant organ-grinder
seated upon bank within the grounds
and at once made dash toward him.
The monkey. who was attired In a
jacket and hat, awaited the onset with
such undisturbed tranquility t1at the
dog halted within few feet of him to
reconnoitre.
Both animals took n long. steady
stare at each other. but the dog evil
IDENTIFY was recovering from h.s sur
prise, and about to make a spring for
the intruder. At this critical jancture
the monkey. who had remained per-
fectly quiet hitherto. raised his paw.
and gracefully saluted by. raising his
hat.
The effect was magical; the dogs
head and tail dropped, and he sneaked
on and entered the house, refusing to
leave it till he was satisfied that hts
polite but mysterious guest had de-
parted. His whole demeanor showed
plainly that he felt the monkey was
"uncanny:" and not to be meddled
with.

Singular Plan. Of tho East.

The Rose of Jericho is one of the
most singular forms of plant life. 1t
is an annual and Is found in Syria
Africa and Arabia. During the grow
ing season It presents no strange char
acteristics. but as the pods begin to
ripen on the approach of dry weather
the branches drop their leaves and curl
inward. presenting the appearance OF
dead twjgs. When completely ripe, the
whole plant looks like ball OF curl
ously-constructed wicker-w work at the
top of a short stem. The roots die.
and the plant is carried to great dis
tances by the wind. When the ap-
parently dead and worthless ball
reaches the sea or any other water, or
becomes wedged in some place where
rain falls on 1t, it unbends and the
branches resume their former position.
The pods then open and discharge
their seeds hundreds Of miles from the
place of original growth. The monks
in Palestine call it "Mary's Flower"
from their belief that 1t expands each
year on the day and hour OF the birth
OF the Savior. 1t is also known as the
resurrection plant.
