LOCATION AND SPACE.
Paris has been in the exposition bus
mess for some time. Over 80 years
ago was the first, and since then have
been two others before this. Two
things the wise Frenchmen have
learned-accessibility to the people and
cheapness of entry. Thus, right in the
very heart Of Paris, hard by the
Champs Elysee, the greatest boulevard
of the world, and along the banks of
the River Selue-tue 10Y UIOOh Ol
French Kings-is collected the Univer-
sal Exposition of 1900. The Champ
de Mars is down stream and is COW
cred with buildings that in architec-
tural decoration far surpass our Chi
cago Worlds Fair. Just opposite is
the plot of ground called the ''Troca-
dero,' which contains dozens of build
ings representing on one side the
French colonies, and on the other side
the colonies of other Nations. This is
connected with Champ de Mars by
bridge, and the magnificent Eiffel
Tower looks down from a distance
twice as high as the Washington Mon
ument Up stream a half mile away
is the plot of ground called the Es-
planade des Invalides. Here is the
group of buildings containing varied
Industries, and opposite are the two
great palaces of beautiful paintings
and sculpture. Across the river is the
Alexander III. Bridge, which cost
three million dollars. Connecting the

high, simple i'll construction and ad-
mirably lighted The second story
contains halls for congresses upon
| every subject common to thoughtful
| minds except religion, which the
French, aware of their own agitation
upon the subject, have left out. The
ground floor contains exhibits in social
economy from France, Germany, Rus
sia, Austria, Italy, Switzerland, Swe-
den, Bulgaria, Great Britain, Holland
Belgium and the United States. The
exhibits of these Governments show
the various forces at work for the bet
terment of men and women, and es-
pecially the various organizations
which these people themselves are car
rying on for their own betterment.
UNITED STATES EXHIBIT.
The United States Exhibit is consid-
cred the fullest of all. With a space
only equal to the smallest countries,
like Holland and Bulgaria, it has
crowded into the space a varied col
lection that furnished great food for
thought. The American Library AS
sociation occupies one corner and fur
nishes an interesting study of the Ii
braries of the country. Next the
League for Social Service has present
ed the work of the Young Mems Chris
tian Association, factory employees
condition, and a miscellaneous study of
great interest The New York Charity
Society has on exhibition some beauti-
full models of New York tenementS,
one of which is a reproduction of 4
complete block on the east side of New
York. The total catalogue entries of
exhibitors in this room, which is about
20 by 80 feet, is upward of 400. The
collection and installation of this eX-
hibit reflects great credit upon DR.. Ed
ward D. Jones, University of WiScOn-
sin. Nothing could be more appropriate
than that the United States should in
clude among these other forces a show
ing of the progress of its eX-slaves and
their descendants. Marvellous as has
been the progress in other lines, have
any equaled the facts of Negro prog

Improving Country Roads.

In order to have better roads than
now exist, it is by no means necessary
to expend thousands OF dollars in
making substantial stone surfaces.
Such, of course are the most satisiac-
tory and useful when circumstances
permit OF their construction; but there
are hosts OF places and localities and
sparsely settled districts in which they
ale not practicable, on account OF the
expense, now actually necessity. on
account OF the relatively limited
amount OF travel. In such places, and
under such circumstances, it is quite
possible to get along without them,
and actually to do very well by inn
proving the common earth roads and
instituting q scientific system Of main
tenance for them.
In order to- get good results from
common country roads, they, as a
rule, require to be thoroughly graded
and drained; for if they are not kept
free OF water at all times, it is absolute
ly impossible to make them decent.
The first and fundamental requisite
OF good roads is through drainage, and
this means both surface drainage and
subdrainage. There must he suitable
cutters on both sides OF the road
water must be carried away from
the road and absolutely prevented
from penetrating under it, and the
surface must be kept smooth and even
SO that rain will Immediately run off
into the cutters. After this is pro-
vided for, system Of main tenance
must be established whereby some one
man, or a few men, will be constantly
employed in going over the roads, fill
ing up holes and depressions, remov-
ing stones. clearing cutters, and doing
the thousand and one things whic h
are daily necessary if roads are to be
kept good. This, OF course, means
that working out" road taxes must
be done away with forever, and bus
iness-like money system adopted in
its stead.

Truthful Jeems,
IT'S THE TRUTH.

II you loot your little whistle
And then lay aside your horn,
There's not a soul will ever know
That such man was born.
The man who owns his acres
Is the man who plows all day,
And the man who keeps a-humping
Is the man who makes 1t pay.
The man who advertises
With short and sudden jerk,
Is the man who blames the printer
Because 1t didn't work.
The man who gets the business
Uses brainy printers ink,
Not a cutter and splutter,
But an I'D that makes you think;
And who plans his advertisements
As he plans his well bought stock,
Has the future OF his business
Just as solid as a rock. CO
