youth that his body Is the ready serT-
ant OF his will, and does with ease and
pleasure all the work that, as a mech
anism, It Is capable OF; whose intellect
is clear, cold logic engine, with all
its parts OF equal strength and IN

OF work. and spin the gossamers -
well as forge the anchors Of the mind;
whose mind Is stored with knowledge
OF the great and fundamental truths Of
nature and OF the laws OF her opera
tons; one who. no stunted ascetio. Il
full Of life and fire, but whose passions
are trained to come to halt by q vigor-
GUS will. the servant OF a tender con-
science: who has learned to love all
beauty, whether OF nature or OF art, TO
hate all vileness, and to respect Others
as himself. Such a one. and no other,

Smooth Surface for Roads.

Maintaining a smooth surface for the
escape OF water Is all that is necessary
TO prevent sottening Of the road sur
face, even with earth roads; keeping
the road carefully crowned, smooth
and free from ruts is more effective IN
disposing Of "the greatest enemy Of
good roads" than the most elaborate
system Of foundations and under
drainage. but the necessary smooth
ness can be attained only by continual
watchfulness. Excessive dustiness
could be allayed by an occasional
sprinkling, but the distribution Of
traffic, made possible by the smooth
surface, would decrease the wear and
also the necessity Of sprinkllng.
