HIGHWAYS In FRANCE.
System which u Worthy OF
Praise and Emulation.

Nations which possess vast terri
tories and which are in the habit OF
undertaking vast enterprises are apt
TO overlook details. And yet. when
we stop to think, the perfection Of
anything and everything lies in the
scrupulous attention that is to be
given to details. instruments of pre-
cision only differ with ordinary in
struments in care given to details, to
small projections. An invention
which is a success is the one in con.
irving which the inventor has given
the most time to smallest particu-
lars. The French have applied that
principle To the administration of
the maintenance of roads. The great
est attention has been paid to the
smallest thing that contributes to
the simple mending Of rut. The
cantonnier who does the work is one
OF an administration that includes
and employs the most skillful scien-
lists and engineers in the world. The
simple stope that he lays to help
mend the rut has perhaps occupied
100 minds before il is put in its place.
Useless trouble" you may say Not
at all
The object in the maintenance Of
roads is 10 have them all kept in
such n state that carriages will roll
upon them in the best conditions. II
is. then. of the greatest Importance
10 obviate all obstacles. all sources
of resistance to the circulation. and
70 prevent or stop from the begin
ming all defects TO which roads are
liable.
This can only be done by constant
overseeing and with perfect or
ganization of resources at hand, con
sisting of materials and manual Ia.

Work on pneumatic tires for bicycles
is largely done by girls. Only where
strength is required, as in putting the
tire OH the wooden rim. is man called
into service. 1t is necessary when con-
structing tires to put the hands in to the
sticky mixture. which is applied to them
to make them moderately impervious to
injury. At first the hands are apt to
crack. but they harden after awhile.
Most OF the girls employed in bicycle
factories are very young. a few older
ones are required TO fasten the ends OF
the rubber tubes together and to put
the valves in place. Such work requires
Judgment and deftncss.-N. Y. Sun.

~ one traveller in a hundred who re-
members that ia going from east to

OF those who come into contact with
this truth know all about II when they
were at school. but never think Of IL
on the high seas In Illustration q
the point he tells this story:
my first trip around the world was
from England to Australia. out in
the middle OF the Pacific a sign was
put announcing that the date was
Thursday. July II. This was all right.
but the next day the same sign was
put up again. This was an oppor.
tunlty for those OF US who thought we
were real wise TO show the ships
officers that they were not infalliblc.
After we had expended our choicest
sarcasm and had been rebuffed by va
rious officers the captain set Us
straight.
"On my way back one day the card
went up announcing that II was Satur-
day. Aug. 10. The next day the sign
said Monday. Aug. 10. Two ministers
on board thought the captain a some
what profane old salt. who had skip
ped n day to avoid the religious serv-
Ices which they had prepared. lie
convinced them that Il was n mere
coincidence that on that particular
date the lost day was Sunday. Since
