A Methodist missionary in Ceylon
one day received a call from an aged
Buddhist. He was SO years old and
very decrepit and almost blind. Like
all others of his religion he looked for
a reincarnation in another body, after
he died, according to his merits, and
this is his list of merits as he told 1t
to the missionary: 81 have climbed
Adams Peak t%wenty-six times; l have
visited the Temple of the Tooth seven
times; I have caused several Buddhist
books to be copied and given. to the
priests, and 1 have never killed an
animal, except a few fish that l
caught. So you see I have plenty OF
merit, and 1 shall be born we'll in my
next life" This old man had not done
good to any human being, and his
faith appeared to be mostly faith in
himself. Ceremonial religion furnish
es few examples more characteristic
or more hopeless.

Nothing will give your life so high

that a town councillor could effect

what he could accomplish as a member
of parliament. The first citizen Of a

and improvements, is more to be en-
We'd and more sure to be remembered

gresham. The neglect to use lesser
opportunities to serve the community
through an ambition to shine in high
places is in most cases a civic mis-
take. and the fairest exemplification of
good citizenship may be strikingly ex-
hibited within narrow municipal linn

STEEL ROADWAY IN SPAIN.
Advantages over the Old One a
Stone,


Horace Lee Washington, United States
consul at Valencia, Spain, in a recent re-
port to the State Department on steel
roadway in Spain says:
THE road between Valencia and Grao is
two miles in length and an average OF 3,2vo
vehicles pass over it daily. Until 1892 it
was constructed of flint stone. The annual
cost of keeping IT in repair was about 35,ov
pesetas. AT the rate OF exchange at that
date this amounted to 81, 40. The construc-
ton of a steel roadway was determined
on and the annua! cost OF keeping in re-
pair the central zone of road thus relieved
from heavy traffic, which proceeds over
the steel rails, is now only 900 pesetas, or
about $3.50 at the present rate of exchange.
"A Belgian firm received the contract to
furnish the steel work, having bid less
than Spanish firms at Barcelona and BIZ
bao. The length of road SO built is 81
kilometers u. .9SS miles,. The cost per kilo-
meter N.62l37 mile) was A, 100 pesetas
(Si 500. The total cost OF the road aid was
6O950 pesetas $500. The expense In de-
tail was: Steel construction $3.50; trans
portatlon and laying steel construction, $685.;
binding stone construction between rails
and lateral zones, s2l03; total, S9,5O3.
The rails during the seven years they
have been in position exhibit a wear of one
decimal of a mllllmeter yearly, and have
not required repairing.
Ample room is allowed between the rails
for two horses to walk abreast. Horses do
not appear to slip on rails of this con-
struction.
AT each side of the rail are layers OF
binding stones, the paved road being higher
than the face of the rails.
The municipality of Valencia is of opin-
ion that the saving in cost of repairs,
through road of this description, pays for
it's construction in short time and othcr
and similar roadways are in contemplation.
From various parts Of Spain inquiries
have been made concerning this road. I
learn that q similar construction was de-
cided on at Alicante In 1895, but was tenn
porarily abandoned when events caused ex-
change to increase. A toll OF (abouO eight
tenths of a cent is charged each vehicle
passing over this roadway"

COL. DALLAS C. IRISH DEAD.
Death Due to Apoplcxy Foul Play
Suspected at First.

The body of Col. Dallas C. Irish. one Of
Pittsburg's wealthiest men, was found on
an unfrequented part OF Coleman's lane
not far from his residence in the east end
Tuesday night. Foul play was at first sus-
pected, but the physicians believe death
was due to spoplexy.
Colonel Irish was a descendant of Capt.
Nathaniel Irish of revolutionary fame. and
was the exclusive owner OF one of the most
valuable estates In Pennsylvania. 1t has
been in the family for more than a century,
and, like the Vanderbilt wealth, Il has been
handed down from generation to genera
ton, multiplying at an enormous rate until
Its value Is placed away up in the millions
According 10 the family custom Il Is be-
lieved that the entire estate will be left TO
