The horses were unhurt. though un.

was some time before Tom could re.
pair the wagon so that we could go
on. 1t had been blown up against

good old fashion of those days. of car
rying plenty of stout string in his pock-
cts, and so was able to mend up the
broken places where It was necessary.
Me he actually carried up the ravine
where he could place me in the wagon;
my ankle had swollen frightfully, and
panied mt exceedingly, besides.
"Now." he said, getting into the
wagon himself, 1--WE must hurry. I've
got TO meet Teene, though the heavens
fall and he gave me Il comical glance.
He hadn't explained who "Teenle"
was. nor did care to ask After the
experiences of the last twenty min

In new. York.
TTH HE road Improvement law.
passed by the New York Leg
islature in 1898. has proved
so efficncous that the good
road division of the United States De-
partment of Agriculture considers it
the best State law in existence 1t
possesses most of the desirable feat.
ures of state aid laws in other States.
and but few of the Objectionable ones.
The law Is known as the Higbic-
Armstrong law, and provides that any
Board of Supervisors may adopt reso-
lutions asking state aid for road inn
provement. These are sent to the
State Engineer, who investigates and
determines whether the road lndi-
Gated is of sufficient public impor-
tance to receive State aid. If it is. he
prepares an estimate of the cost and
transmits this TO the Board of Super
vlsors. The board may then declare
that the highway indicated is to he
improved, or may refuse to go any
further. This gives absolute home
rule TO the different counties of the
State, so that no section can he com
PEELED to improve its highway and no
county should he permitted to do so
until all the facts and figures are
placed before it.
If the Board of Supervisors decides
to improve the road n second set of
resolutions are adopted and sent to
the state Engineer. who then advcr-
tises for bids. When responsible
bid within the engineers estimate is
made the contract Is closed. If the
town or county desires to do the work
itself it has the preference over all
other bidders. The work is superin-
tended by the State Engineer, and
wnen it Is completed he draws Il war
rant upon the State Treasurer for
fifty per cent. of the cost of the work.
The Supervisors must levy thlrty-fvc
per cent of the cost on the whole
county, and the remaining fifteen per
cent. Is payable in one of two ways.
viz: If the Supervisors had decided
to improve this highway without pc
titOn from the farmers owning land
which fronted on the improved road,
the fifteen per cent. must be paid by
the township in which the highway
lies. If, however. the decision was
made after the petition by the land
holders, this fifteen per cent is paid
by the property owners. For example.
If road Improvement in certain town
costs $1,000, $500 must he paid by the
State, $3.50 by the county and $50
either by the town or the citizens hay-
ing land fronting upon the improved
road. The money available for the
State road work Is obtained by tax
of lie. on every $1,000 worth of as
sessable property in the State, which
amounts to about $4,000 year.
This law is strictly for the benefit
OF rural highways, for although the
cities and villages of the State pay
ninety per cent. of the taxes, not a
foot of the highway within their lin
its can be improved This may at
first seem an injustice to the village,
but when it is remembered that the
prosperity of villages and cities is de-
pendent entirely upon the prosperity
OF the country surrounding them, the
fairness of the plan Is evident

If a man falls so as to strike his
head violently on the pavement, or If
he gets IA blow over his eye, he is said
to ''see stars" The cause of this cur
ious phenomenon Is found in a pecul-
iarity of the optic nerve. The func-
ton of that nerve Is to convey TO the
brain the impression of light. II rec
ognizes nothing in the world but light.
1t is susceptible to no other impression;
or, if acted upon by any other agent,
1t communicates to the brain the in
telligence of the presence of that agent
by sending along its fibres flashes OF
light only. Irrltate this nerve with
probe or other instrument, and it con
veys no sensation of pain, but sim.
ply that of luminous sparks The pain
of the blow or the fall on the head
is realized through the nerves OF gen
eral sensation; but, unsusceptible to
pain or any other feeling. the optic
nerve sends to the brain its report OF
the shock by flashes, sparks and
stars. st. James Gazette.

Tho UtiIIty of sheen.

Sheep are necessary on some farms
in order to save much of the waste
materials. Sheep will eat many plants
that other animals will not touch. 1t
may not be profitable for some farm
ers to keep large focks of sheep, but
n dozen sheep will cost almost nothing.
The same may be said of one or two
pigs. which give profit because they
consume materials that would other
wise go to the manure heap but too
many sheep or pigs may make the
item Of labor too costly to allow of
Il profit.

b COMPANY TO BUILD
A DEPOT.

Mr.. Frank w. Mccullough. executor,
and others. has sold to the Anheuser-
Busch Brewing Association 100 feet on
the extension of the west side Of Boush
street, near the Chesapeake and Ohio
property; $4,000.
This is the legal contamination of a
deal that has been in progress for
months.
The brewing company's business
here has grown to such an extent,
especially within the last three years,
that house of more than double the
capacity of the present depot is need
ed for the business. This new depot is
to be equipped with all the facilities
required for receiving, storing and bot
Ting beer.
The building will be of brick. two
stories high, 100 by 100 feet in size.
and capable of storing many carloads
OF beer in q modern refrigerator.
This will be the distributing point
for a larger territory than heretofore.
because there will be greater capaci-
ty for storage. The growth of the bus
mess of this firm is another indica-
ton of the growth of Norfolk. This
plant will probably represent an out

LAST OF GRASS PAVEMENT.

The last of grass pavement was taken
up yesterday. That was square of
30x30 feet on Plume street, at the inter-
section Of CRANKY. This was put down
as q trial specimen by the contractor
about three years ago. Afterward the
City Councils were persuaded to put
down two blocks with the same pave
ment. These We're on either side of the
Courthouse, in Cove street, north, and
Williams street. south.
These blocks were laid with the pro-

should be taken up and relaid in brick

tory. They did prove not only unsat-

OF tarred grass were removed at the
expense of the contractor.

compressed into blocks. 1t has proved
worthless in some streets and unsat-

CITY BOND BUYERS.
THEY PRAISE NORFOLK FOR
FINANCIAL STABILITY AND
MATERIAL PROGRESS.

MA 1GlN1ttd IINOGINIHOOs
Representatives of the broker firm of
Kleybolte, Rudolph & Co., of New York
and Cincinnati, were here yesterday.
1t was their firm which made the sue
cessfuI bid last month for the $4,000
refunding bonds of Norfolk. They
came here to arrange for the delivery
of the bonds.
The bonds bear per cent. interest
only. but they were sold for a premium
and there were eighteen bidders. That
shows the confidence of the financiers
in the credit of the city.
One of the gentlemen, speaking to a
reporter of the Virginian-P Pilot. said
this is not my first visit to Norfolk. 1t
is not my last visit, I think for it is
thrifty. progressive city. 1t is a
pretty place. too.
But if somebody had told me ten
years ago that 4 per cent. bonds. of the
city of Norfolk. would be sold at a
premium, or be sold at all, 1 should
have said in plain words. You are a
fool"
Now that very thing has happened
I am astonlshed more, however, at the
growth and progress of Norfolk than
at the price her bonds command in the
market. Norfolk is n fine city and her
bonds are precisely the sort of invest
ment that many persons. who have an
accumulation of inactive capital, are
seeking.
