His Book on Dogs Didn't Help This
Agent out OF Trouble.
"Ive gone back to my first love, the
great Celebrated Compendium of Uni
versal knowledge, bound in calf and
sold at a price within the reach OF
all, said the book agent with a sigh.
The other day the head member OF
the firm that am proud to represent

showed me book on dogs, telling
how to take care of them, what to
feed, what to do for the mango, how
to tell a mastiff from a pug, how to
handle a mad dog-in fact it was a
regular dog encyclopedia bound in
cloth and sold at a popular price The

GOOD Roads R6tss

Ec6nomio value OF Good Roads.
IS food for thought ]

"YHERE is food for thought in
the report of the Maryland
Geological Survey. In the
first place we are told that
the people of Maryland have expend-
cd during the last ten years, upon
the so-called construction and repair
of their own roads, the sum Of no
less than $6,000,00O. II seems that the
greater part of this money has been
frittered away in the attempt to re-
pair roads which have been poorly
laid out in the first place, and for the
lack of certain necessary engineering
qualifications can, in the nature Of
things, never be made into good roads.
As an instance of this it may be men
tiored that many of the common
roads have no natural drainage. We
are told that the most of them are
in a poor condition for part Of the
year, and some Of them for the whole
twelve months.
AS the result of careful estimate
made by the survey, it is shown that
the farmers of the State of Maryland
expend $3,OO0,OOO more on their haul
ing over the present poorly built high
ways than would be necessary if the
hauling were done on first-cass roads.
These figures are to be compared with
the information collected by the De.
partment Of Agriculture in 1895, when,
as the result of data received from
over twelve hundred counties in vari.
GUS parts of the United State, 1t was
ascertained that the average cost of
hauling one ton for one mile over
country roads was twenty-five cents
which was just three times as much
as the average cost of hauling over
the improved macadam roads of six
European countries. If this large sum
of money represents the loss to the
State of Maryland from poor roads,
1t is easy to say that the total loss
throughout the United States repre-.
sents figure so great that it must
have an important bearing upon the
prosperity of the country at large,
and particularly upon the farming in
terests as such.
At first sight it seems incredible that
in a country so progressive as ours
the condition of the common roads
should be over half a century behind
that of the old world. 1t is true that
the vast extent of the United States,
and the great mileage of our roads in
some States relative to the density Of
the population may be offered as an
excuse for backwardness; but while
this plea may hold good as regards
the thinly populated Western ana
Southern States, it cannot be applied
to the older, more populous and
wealthy sections of the country-Sci-
entidc American.

A Queer Strike.

Labor day seems to be time FOR
general resort to the strike as a means.
There are strikes and strikes-strlKes
for cause. strikes without cause and
strikes because. But the most unique
strike on record occurred in Brooklyn
last week. Joseph Brecht had worked
in the Havemeyer sugar refinery for
sixteen years at $3.50 week. He was
promoted to be superintendent at an
advanced salary, and he struck. He
positively declined promotion. He was
given a week to consider the matter,
but still held out. Another week was
given him, but as he remained obdur-
ate he was informed that the firm
needed him as superintendent and un-
less he accepted the position he would
be discharged, Thereupon Brecht
committed suicide. He preferred
death to promotion. Perhaps this is
not the only instance OF strike being
suicidal, but the case OF Brecht points
a moral. 1t is said that Brecht was
the only man among me thousands
employed in the establishment who
was competent to fill the vacancy
caused by the death of the former su-
porntendent. He did no. want the
position, The position sought him be-
cause he had made himself necessary
to the firm. lie was the one man in
a thousand whose attention to duty
had qualified him for the superintend-
ency. The offer was a simple matter
OF business. There was no sentiment
in It. The firm needed Brecht in that
particular position; it was to their
interest to have him there. It was
also to his interest to be there. but he
objected. The moral OF this is that
many men seek places or advancement
who are incompetent. and they think
the times are out OF Joint when they
do not get either. When the place
seeks the man It is because he has de-
voted his time to something beside
Just earning his wages.-PenDsYlTS

Many charges have been preferred
against the English sparrOws. The
latest from Maryland is that they are
seriously injuring the brick churches
in the rural districts. The walls OF
these churches are covered with ivy.
and the birds have their nests in the
thick growth Of the vine. The injury
they DO is in pecking the mortar from
between the bricks. Where there are
Oyster-shell roads, or other surface
supply of lime and gravel, the birds
will not molest the mortar joints, but
in default of more easily obtained ma.
terial, they get lime for egg-shell con.
struction and gravel for digestive pur.
poses from tho mortar. They peck the
material from a third to twothirds of
the thickness of the outer course of
bricks. weakening the structure, and

The Money system.

Reference has been made hitherto
to the sentiment in Oneida County,
New York, in favor of improved high
ways and the good work accomplished
there. 1t Is encouraging to workers
along this line that the Oneida SEN
timent is growing and that it is ex-
tending TO ncighboring counties. OF
the 1000 miles of highways in Oneida
County, 400 miles are now cared for
under what is known as "the money"
system, to distinguish it from the old
plan Of requiring a certain number
of days labor yearly from the citi-
zens on the highways. 1t was grudg-
ingly given labor at the best, and
naturally not efficient. The eXpendi-
ture of taxes under intelligent direc-
tion gives much better results, and it
is expected that many additional
towns in the county will adopt the
money system next fall Another for
ward step contemplated is the appoint
ment of an engineer to have supervis-
ion Of all the highways in the county.
For the advanced position of Oneida
County in this particular much credit
is due the County League for good
roads. A similar League was orga-
nized recently in Herkimer, and at the
first meeting some $50 Mohawk Val
ley farmers were present. That SO
many should leave their spring pIow-
ing for even one day was an earnest
OF the feeling on the subject.

The pernand Is GenernI.

Martin Dodge, director Of the Office
Of Road Inquiry, Department Of Agri-
culture, stated to the Industrial Com
mission that road building has become
matter Of great public interest, and
there was a great demand for good
roads. His suggestion was that good
roads should be built and the expense
divided equally between the Govern
ment, the state and the towns bene-
fitted by such Improvement. Mr.. Dodge
gave the results of experiments which
were tried in Maryland, estimating the
cost of hauling loads in short hauls
by animal power at twenty-siX cents
per ton per mile. He claimed that II
system of good roads in the country
would do away with many of the in
equalities under which farmers now
labor. He learned by investigation that
where governments had a large num-
ber of men to take care Of, whether
convicts or standing armies, their
services had been utilized for the con
structlon Of good roads. He lnstanced
the roads of Rome, which were built
by slaves, and the Siberian roads,
which had been constructed by Rus
sian soldiers. Mr.. Dodge gave it as
his opinion that there are two meas
ures which would assist to bring about
improvements in good roads to an ex-
tent where the public is sufficiently
benefted-the reduction Of the cost
Of material and the utilization of Ia
Dor that could not be otherwise en-
ployed.

firmly believe that 10000 men will quit

LABOR TROUBLE STOPS
WINDOW GLASS MAKING

There is strife at present between
the glass blowers and the fatteners
which has caused the window glass
factories throughout the country from
operations until such a strife
is settled.
The blowers union is trying to make
the fatteners join their union or be
crushed. The fiatteners refuse to do
either, and as all the glass workers
here are union men the local COM
pany cannot start. The fatteners argue
that if they were to sign the scale pre-
sented them by the blowers they and
the cutters would not make as much
money. The scale they are willing to
sign gives a slight increase in wages.
The blowers are al members Of Labor
Assembly No. 300 of the Knights Of
Labor, and it agreed upon a scale with
