good road. OF course, do not intend
TO argue that wagon loads can be
hauled upon high class road as
cheaply as upon steel railroad track.
but | have shown you enough to con-
vince you that the ordinary dirt road
is in no way fitted for your business,
and that a wonderful contrast exists
between such road and the WE'LL

1t may be interesting for you to know
that the exact difference in power re-
CURED to move a given load over diff
ferent kinds of road surface, has been
determined many times, and so often
verified as to be well settled. From
these experiments you may know that
ON the smooth surface of a macadam
road one horse will haul twice the
load that the same horse could haul
on the best dirt road, and from five to
ten times as much as can be hauled by
a single horse when the dirt road is
covered with soft mud and ruts.
From this you will understand that
the value, even of dirt road, depends
very largely upon its condition and the
care with which it is kept in good
repair"

The late Sir John L. Millais, one of
the most popular of modern painters,
had a fund of almost boisterous hui
NOR, which delighted his friends, but
with which the public at large was lit
tie familiar. Mrs. Jopling, a London
lady of fashion, gives the following
amusing "reminiscences of this side OF
the artists disposition:
The first time l ever saw John Ey-
erett Millais was at one of the private
views of old masters at Burlington
house. | was walking with friend.
Here comes Millais." he said.
You can imagine my excitement. I
stared with all my eyes. My friend
turned to the artist:
Good show of old masters!"
"Old masters be bothered! prefer
looking at the young mistresses!" said
Millais, with a humorous glance as he
walked off. My companion roared with
laughter. There is only Johnny Mil
lais who would dare to make a remark
like that"
| remember Millais, telling me of an
incident that happened to himself at a
dinner. He was sitting next the host
ess, and on his right was a charming
society woman who evidently had not
caught his name when he was intro
duced to her; for presently, during a
pause, she started the usual subject
of conversation in May-the academy.
Isn't Millais too dreadful this year?"
she remarked, and then, seeing the ag-
onized contortions on her hostess
countenance, she added, ooh, do tell me
what I've done! Look at Mrs. Ms
face. l must have said something ter
rible'
well, you really have, you know
laughed Millais.
ooh, please tell mei'
We'll, you had better nerve yourself
up"
Yes, yes, what is it?"
For answer Millais said nothing, but
looking at her pointed solemnly to
himself. When it dawned ON her who
her neighbor was she was spared any
confusion by Millais' hearty laughter.
