STATE AID IN NEW YORK.
Lack of Appropriations Nulliaes the
Good Roads Law


Good Roads Law.
THE tritiing attention paid to the
good construction OF roads by New
York state is probably known to few.
Massachusetts, Connecticut and New
Jersey are far ahead of us, and it Is u
fact that the lack of good roads is driv-
ing people into other states. where they
Will have better advantages for driv-
ing, wheeling or automobiling. II that
latter word is allowable" said A. r.
of the Automobile club.
1.-TWO years ago the HigbIe-Arm-
strong bill went into effect and the
legislature has made two approprla
tions of $4,000 each. or this amount
up to October last. $SS,0OO had been
spent, and "a miles of road were fin
ished, while II miles are now in proc.
ess of construction.
1T has been estimated that nearly
S3,0OO,OOO Il year is spent In the repair
of New York roads, but the usual
method is to plow up ditch on each
side of the road and throw the grass
and roots into the middle OF the high.
way. 1t is easy enough to see that
this does not insure a permanent good
road. Under the Higbie- Armstrong
law one-half Of the cost is paid by the
counties in which the improved roads
are constructed. The state engineer
reports that he has received l2l peti-
tionS for the improvement Of highways,
aggregating about G1G miles of road.
"ln other words. the citizens them
selves are anxious to pay one half of
the cost for G16 miles of road just as
soon as the state appropriates the Other
half. Against this seven miles Of good
road completed, partially at the states
expense. we have in Massachusetts
270l2 miles completed under almost
similar laws. 200 miles in Connecticut
and 439l2 miles in New Jersey. Massa.
chusetts appropriates S5O00OO a year
for good roads. while the best that
New York has done thus far is $50 200

NJ. de Manaceine. the Russian psychoi.
ogist, mentions the case of a person
born without arms or feet who always
dreamed that he had been mutilated.
Now, 1t should be borne in mind, he
says, that the majority Of persons born
without arms or feet always dream
that they possess these extremties. Ii
is evident, he maintains. that this diff
ference results. In the first instance,
from weak impressions hereditarily
transmitted, and in the second instance
from the strength and precision of
these Impressions. Persons whose
limbs have been amputated are subject
to curious delusions while asleep. They
never dream that they are walking OH
crutches; quite the contrary, they in
variably dream that they are walking
with their feet, with this difference
only--that as time passes their extrem-
tiles appear to become shorter and
shorter
NJ. de Manacelne mentions as curl.
GUS fact that this hallucination is very
pronounced when the wound has healed
without complications; while on the
other hand there ia no hallucination
when the process Of cicatrization has
been painful. Moreover. we find the
reason Of this difference in the greater
or lesser intensity Of the sensations ex
perienced. Still, II the dreams Of alb
normally formed persons are charac-
terized by certain pecullarities. they
are none the less subjected, as are other
dreams, to the mysterious conditions of
the human organism, and, like other
dreams. their repercussion on the
wakeful state Is Identical

There is no question of domestic
economy Of wider practical interest to
an agricultural. commercial or a
manufacturing people than that Of
good roads and how to procure them.
1t enters, directly or indirectly, into the
value of every commodity taken to
market, either through the cost of
transportation or its influence upon the
time chosen for that purpose. and SO
affects the interests Of the producer on
the one hand and of the dealer or con.
sumer on the other.

Hon. John Dienhart, Assistant Prose cutor, City Hall, Chicago, Ill.,, is an en- thusiastic believer in Peruna. The fol lowing letter was recently received by The Peruna Medicine Co.,:

 JOHN DIENHART. In systemic catarrh the lungs, heart, bowels, stomach, kidneys, and all other parts of the mucous membranes are in a flabby, unhealthy condition. This is due to a want of nerve supply on ac- count of nerve weakness.
 The constant drain of nervous vitality depletes the whole nervous system and the mucous surfaces suffer accordingly. This is the condition called systemic catarrh. It very nearly resembles, and
