RURAL FREE DEL8ERY.
System Has Proved q Fail In M..,
Loe.,l'le. ON Aee1 Int of

The farmers OF Washington county
Pa, have at last attaiIGd their hearts,
desire-free rural mait delivery, And
at the same time they discover that
the system will probably be a fa;lnre
owing to the bad coAdition of the
roads in that country. Strange, isn't
it, that this discovery was not made
before the government acceded to the
demands for the mail service? Verify,
What fools these mortals bel" Aft
er having listened in stony silence for
rs years to good roads sermons and
in the meantime deciding that rural
mail service was of more value than
good roads, these farmers discover
that the road must come first and
that rural mail delivery will follow
naturally. AS it is, they have put the
cart before the horse. and as a result
the horse backs away.
Here was the proposition which
these farmers considered: Good roads.
which would enable the farmer to
haul his products to market at less
cost and with greater ease than with
the present roads; and, secondly. rural
delivery, whose only advantage is the
delivery of letters once a day. Sup
pose that the letter which the rural
carrier delivers contains an offer for
the farmers wheat at one dollar per
bushel on immediate delivery. and
suppose that the roads are in their
usual impossible condition: then
yyhofC Tho forr,ar oo-- L.:
and other hirsute adornment and
cusses the government that allows
such roads to be built. He forgets
that the building of roads lies within
his own power; that if he asserts HIM
self he can procure the finest roads in
the world. Instead. he is obliged to
lose this chance to sell his wheat at
n dollar per bushel, merely because
he has accepted rural mail delivery
in lieu of good roads. That letter does
him no good; it is the immediate de-
livery of the wheat that counts. and
rural mail carriers are not addicted to
carrying wheat to the railroad sta
ton some miles away. Rural delivery
will surely follow good roads. and
good roads may possibly follow free
rural mail delivery, but let us have
the roads first. You cannot send sew
eral hundred bushels of wheat by
mail, but with good roads you car
have the pleasure, the real pleasure
of driving into town" any day with
your wheat and other products and
get your W mail. and then you will
not feel the need of free rural mail
delivery. When you get the good
roads. then the boys will want BIZ
cycles, and every morning they will
be only too glad to ride in for the
mail, and the rural mail carriers will
only have to draw their breath and
their salary, and they will wax fat,
and the farmer likewise. and then
prosperity will ride through the land
in a motor vehicle on good roads.
AS at present contemplated, it will
require from 20 to so carriers to de-
liver the mail through Washington
county M a day. That is. provid-
ing the roads are in good enough con-
dition; otherwise the farmers will be
lucky to get their mail one a month.

How Woman Wa. Made.

A small boy in the Mission Sunday school
of Bishop Fallows' church propounded an
entirely new theory of creation last Sunday.
"Who made MANI" asked the teacher, be.
ginning, as in the good old days when ortho-
doxy used catechisms.
God" was the prompt reply.
"And how did be make him?"
"0ut of dust, ma'am; nothing but dust"
"God made her, too, ma'am."
"How?"
The small boy hesitated, and then replied
cheerfully: He caused a deep sleep to fall
upon man and then took out his backbone
and made the Chicago Inter
Ocean.

Valuable Archaeological Objects

The work that has been carried on in
the Gale de las Escalerillas for the Law
ing of the sewer mains has led to i'm
portant archaeological discoveries, for,
as is we'll known, that street, as well
as the present cathedral, formed part
of the site of the great temple of HUT

The latest discoveries seem to be
the most important of all. Foremost
among them are two figures of the god
Ehecatl (god Of air, the companion of
Quetzacoatl One Of these figures is
painted red, yellow and black, and, in
spite of the dampness of the ground
where it has lain for centuries, the col
ors have remained fresh and vivid.
These idols are adorned with disks
of gold, which are polished and en-
graved in remarkable manner, says
the. Mexican Herald. The disks. are
about 20 centimeters in diameter and
the gold plate is of fair thickness.
/ Other objects found at the same
time were tour ear ornaments Of gold.
