A Century Behind the Times.

Aroused by his discovery Of the
quality Of Chicago streets, Mr.. Patul.
10 addressed the recent good roads
convention In Chicago as follows:
"What surprises me is that, while
the United States is undergoing a
wonderful development and is taking
the steel and iron business away from
England and Germany, where it has
been specialized for years, you are only
just now thinking If you will be able
to emerge from the semi-barbarism of
poor roads. In your country and in
mine they are no better than they
were a century ago. / am satisfied
that IL one-balf or one-third of the sub
ventions given to railroads had been
spent on rural highways the farmer
and the business man would be better
off than they are to-day.
81 believe that it is to the rural hign-
ways Of the country that you must
look to get away from the extortions
Of railroads. Improved vehicles, steam
and electric, which before long will
traverse all our highways, will enable
you to compete with the railroads and
where the rates are too high bring
them to terms by carrying your own
produce to market"

Emigration from Russia to Siberia

An interesting papyrus Is now being
examined at the Strasbugg Library. 1t
was purchased in a fragmentary con-
| dition from Cairo merchants early IN
1899 and has already proved of the
| first Importance. According to Ger"
man Psychologists and theological
savants the fragments are pages Of a
missing Gospel which was rejected as
uncanonical in the third century but
was widely accepted In the second.
The papyrus dates from the fifth
| century, but the character of the Greek
words which are text lily reproduced
proves that the original manuscript
| belongs to the second century. A
| feature is the very close connection ap~
parently existing between it and the
| Logia Of Christ, the recovery Of which
| three years ago caused a sensation. 1t
Is suggested that both are practically
pages Of the same manuscript, namely,
'"The Version Of the Gospel According

AS to the result Of five years work,

and is q collection Of folk legends cur

passages suggest that it Is an adap-
ton Of the story Of Christ as told by
His disciples. and II SO, 1t is certainly
the earliest record known, being less
than twenty years after the introduce
ton Of Christianity into Egypt by st.
Mark in 81 A. D.
SiosiriS was q miraculous child. His
mothers name var revealed to his
father in a dream in which these
words were spoken to him: His name
shall be Siosiris, for he shall do many
marvels in Egypt" He is described as
being great, big and strong. He went
to school. rivalled the scribe who
taught and began to talk to the scribes
In the House Of Life.

account of a contest between Siosiris

South Africa Uses . Great Deal OF Co.
ment in Building.
South Africa is without a peer as
a customer for cement, says United
States Consul-General Stowe at Cape
Town in a recent communication to
the department of state. according to
the Washington Star. All the build
ings there. he says. all the ware.
houses, stores and residences, are built
of brick. cemented IN the outside,
and no wood or frame" houses are
to be seen.
The bricks used in South Africa
are larger than American bricks, and
are "laid up" principally with mud"
the inferior clay found in that region,
instead of lime mortar Or cement.
The cement comes into play in the
outside finish Of the buildings. 1t
is laid over the whole surface, and the
expert Malay masons in South Africa
produce very pleasing and unique eff
rects in finishing up caps, columns and
mouldings, closely initiating the
natural stone in this decorative work.
A striking effect is produced by "spat.
uering" some of the larger buildings
with cement, which presents a rough
exterior very striking and pleasing to
the eye, and also durable.
The greater part of the cement i'm
ported into South Africa last year,
states the consul-general, came from
Great Britain, and I'VE LIE, 1000, 900
pounds came into the country, all
told. when I left the United States"
says Mr.. Stowe. "our manufacturers
of cement were producing an article
which was proved by test to be as
good as the English, and that cement
ought to find a large market here.
While the United States at the present
time would be hampered on account
of the excessive steamship rates to
this country, which would prevent
competition with Germany and Bel
gian cements yet I am convinced,
with equal rates, the United States
cement could find a market here in
large quantities. Cement Of the de-

An American woman has had the
courage to assert that her sisters have
unpleasant voices. She Is undoubtedly
right In this, though mere men have
seldom dared to say it, relates the
Providence Journal. The climate can
not be wholly responsible. Many
voices originally rough or shrill have
been trained into harmony. The
trouble is that voice culture is shock
ingly neglected in modern schemes of
education. Besides. the assertiveness
OF the modern woman leads her to
speak too loudly. The 'shrieking sis.
terhood'' is a literal as well as a dgur-
alive expression.

Freak Luncheon Orders.

One of the amusing things to be
noticed at the lunch counter is the
habit of imitation. If the man on the
end studies the bill Of fare and then
orders a ham sandwich, pumpkin pie
and a glass of milk, all his neigh
bors are likely to duplicate his order
and soon there will be a whole row
eating exactly the same things. Some.
times this similarity of appetite
causes serious embarrassment. This
is invariably the case If the occupants
Of the high chairs shift about the
same time and the men on the end
have numerous chances to set exam
pies for 20 or so patrons. Then the
pumpkin pie OF sandwiches are sure
to give out before the noon hour is
past.
TITS funny how lazy people are,'
said one of the walters at a down
town lunch place. There are lots
OF men who won't look at a bill of
fare and they just stare over the
counter and ask for anything that
comes into their hands, If they don't
happen to e another fellow eating
just what they want. If we have
something sort of out of the ordin-
airy, like fried oysters, something that
can be written on the board in ink
so it will make a good impression on
the public, it's a losing investment
If the fellow on the end near the door
happens to pick 1t out. Then every
n that passes him sees the oysters
and soon there is a regular chorus of
yellS for oysters. There amt a pat
ron that wants corn beet. hash, or
