Argument for Good Roads.

fortland ofeSOnian.
After careful inquiry It has been
found that the average haul of the
American farmer in getting his
produce TO marke; or to the neares,
shipping station is twelve miles, and
the average cost of hauling over the
common country roads is IS cents
per ton per mile, or So per ton for
a twelve mile haul. An estimate
places the total tons hauled at $780,
900. 900 per year. On the estimate
of So per ton for twelve miles this
would make the total cost Of getting
the surplus products of the farm to
the local market or to the railroad
no less than 5000, 900, ooo--a figure
greater than the operating expenses
of all the railroads of the United
States If anything could make an
argument for good wagon roads
tnIs statement surely will.

Out OF Line with Hanna.

ssIn those States where Re-
publican conventions have been
held this year the platforms which
have been adopted have not followed
the lines LAID down in advance by
Senator Hanna and some other
prominent Republicans" the Bos-
toni Advertiser (Rep.) observes.
''Hanna announces that in no
case will Congress discuss any tariff
questions. The platforms call for
an extension Of the reciprocity
policy. Hanna says that the
trusts are to be left alone. The
platforms say the opposite. Pos
sibly Hanna may have the power to
check legislation at Washington, for
a time; but he cannot defeat the
public sentiment which demands
such legislation from either the
the Republican or the Democratic
party"

Turnpike Roads.
To the Lafayette Gazette:

In order to make good turnpike road,
first pillow the road throwing the dirt into the
center out to the bitches both sides,
then scrape the dirt towards the center in
perfect oval shapes making the center from
six to eight inches the highest owing to the
width of the road bed. The road bed
should he from IS to rs feet wide owing to
circumstances or the width of the road. If
there are any low places in the road where
the dirt can't be spared from the sides it
should be hauled from the high places or
bitches where it can be spared without
leaving holes for the water to stand in and
the low places filed up above high water
mark. The foundation being laid
the overseer should be furnished Il think by
the Parish) with good strong pair of
double harrows and road smoother.
The overseer should go the road
three or four times each way with the harrow to
break up all the clods and Jumps. Then go
over it two or three times with the smoother
to scrape down the high praces and fill up
the low places that the water will run off
fast it falls into the bitches.
The public can then drive in the middle
of the road with pleasure instead OF being
compelled to drive on the sides to get
around the Jumps and clods with one side of
their vehicle two three inches higher than
the other.
No turnpike road should be considered
finished or ever left until it has been
thoroughly gone over with the harrows and
smoother. Cost of harrows, nine to ten
dollars. Cost of smoother, lumber, nails
and work, $3.50.

Ian Maclaren on Mothers.

Ian Maclaren, in the {: ristian
Endeavor World, pays the following
beautiful tribute to mothers:
"The person to whom you owe
more than you can ever pay. or ever
imagine, is your mother. She en-
dured more tor you. served. you
more patiently, loved you more
fondly, thought of you more con-
stantly, and hoped for you more
bravely, than any other person you
have known on earth, or ever will
know, save your wife or your
husband, if, indeed, they can al
ways be exceptions. 1fyour mother
be spared to YEA, then are you
bound to make her a first charge on
your life, as You desire a peaceful,
conscience, and as you shall answer
before tine judgment seat of God.
She must be encompassed with
every observance Of comfort and
honor and gentleness and love, with
sacrifices, also, if so be it will please
her, Of tastes and occupations and
time, and even friendships and after
you have done all that yea can
think Of and anyone can suggest,
you will still remain hopeless
bankrupt for the love wherewith
loved you.
.sIf she has passed from this life,
and is now with God, then keep
the commandments which she laid
upon you in your youth, though
now you be gray-headed man, and
follow in her steps, even as she
followed Christ. Honor all wo-
men, and serve them in purity and
chivlary for her sake; and may your
| tongue cleave to the roof of your
mouth and your right hand lose it's
cunning, may your name be blotted
from the lambs book of life, and
your portion be taken from among
the inheritance of the saints, if
while she is living you sin against
your mother, or, if she be dead, il
you forget Ter love-"
