The ship subsidy bill is bad in prin-
clple and it is dangerous even in the
methods by which it proposes to put
that principle into effect. Unless the
Senate has more respect for Hanna's
political authority than it has for the
American people it will keep the sub
sidy bill where it is.

Some Startling Figures.

Charles Il. Harrison, United States
special agent on road work, said re-
Gently:
AS a result of 10000 inquiries sent
out by our office in 1895, figures have
been compiled that are startling in
their conclusions. The most conserva-
tive estimates based upon these figures
show that the total Of the farm and for
est products hauled over the country
roads amounts to over 300,00O.00 tons
and that the average cost Of transport
ing it is So ton, or q total annual cost
for transportation OF nearly $950,OO0,-
900. This enormous charge is paid
principally by the farmers Of the coun-
try annually, and of this amount the
figures obtained from other coun-
tries where good roads are the rule in,
stead of the exception show that fully
two-thirds of this amount, or about
$500, 100000. is due to the poor roads.
In other words, the farmers are paying
about $6OOOOO.0O0 mud tax each year.
enough to cover this country with good
roads and maintain them.

GOOD ROADS ARGUMENT.
Free Mail Delivery to Cease Where
Highways Are Neglected.

Highways are NeBlecteu.
The postotfice department is trying
to use the rural free delivery expert
ment as an argument in favor of good
roads, and where the experiment has
failed to improve the bad roads along
the routes the service will have to be
abandoned.
The department has gone over the
records to see how many routes were
interrupted by the condition of the
roads last spring and has sent out
notices that unless the roads are I'M
proved to prevent similar interruption
this spring those routes will have to
be abandoned. The records show that
a great many routes were interrupted
from one to seven days last spring.
There were 40 of these routes in
Iowa, II in Illinois, 10 in Wisconsin
and a less number in other western and
southern states. The record against
Iowa is not SO bad as it seems because
that state has great many more rural
free delivery routes than any other
state, and like Illinois, the state suf-
fers ut times from bad roads which
cannot be improved.
The department admits that it Will
have to give some consideration to the
difficulty in building roads in Iowa and
Illinois, where the depth of the soil
makes it almost impossible to con-
struct roads that will be passable mt all
seasons of the year. 1t is admitted
,,,,I
Iowa where everything possible has
been done to make good roads, and
they have excellent roads for the great
er part of the year, but during the
spring freshets these may be impass-
able for a few days.
The order is meant to apply to those
routes where the people are Indifferent
to the condition of the roads and have
allowed them to become impossible
through neglect. The inspectors will
report on the routes that are interrupt
ed this spring, and where the inter-
ruption is due to neglect Of the roads
they will be abandoned. Where the
interruption Is due to conditions which
cannot be overcome the department
will make allowances and continue the
service.
But the department regards rural
free delivery as an argument and an
inducement to build good roads, and
wherever the people are Indifferent to
the advantages of the service the de-
partment holds that the experiment Is
n failure. The demand for rural free
delivery is greater than the department
can meet with the appropriation by
congress, and it will favor those COM
munities which show most apprecia-
ton by building roads over which the
government can send mails with the
least possible interruption.

HOW BIG SEA TURTLES FEED
Take big Balls of Grass Ont to Sea
and Eat While Swimming.

With my gaStrOnOmiC taste | natural
ly was very curious to know just what
Kind of terrapin are caught in these
waters, for the dish is one much
sought after by epicures and forms
part of the menu for every first class
hotel on the coast. | was told that
none is caught about here, but was
invited TO sea turtle hunt. Let the
reader imagine turtle weighing all
the way from l,2OO to l,JOQ pounds,
and not long ago one was turned over
on the beach near Miami that weighed
more than l,60o pounds OF course !
am giving the largest weight, for the
average weight of those caught along
the coast is about 800 pounds. After
they are caught the turtles are kept for
long time, their captors feeding them
on cabbage, lettuce, turnips, carrots
md sen grasses.
The study of this monster shcllfish is
n most interesting one. In order to get
rid of the parasites that cling to their
shells they often enter fresh streams to
enjoy a bath, but they are extremely
timid and take fright at the least
noise. The hunter knows, however,
that the turtle feeds in brackish
streams where the tide falls rather low
and where the turtle grass grows IN
greatest prOfusipn. The turtles cut
great quantities of this grass and then
roll it into a ball, cementing 1t as they
roll it with the clay in which the grass
grows, and in this way, when they
have managed to amass a goodly sup
ply of provisions, they wait for high
tide ana font away seward, feeding
as they float.
The professional hunters are quick to
detect these balls, and just the mo,
mcnt they do so they set their sclncs
and send their peggcrs, as the men are
called. in search of the feeding shoals.
Men are not the only enemies the tur-
ties have, however, for bears, raccOOns
and other animals native to Florida
destroy great numbers of them.-Jack-

RAILWAYS AND HIGHWAYS.
How the Former Are Benefited by
Improved Roads.

Aho" tht are ny
Improved Roads.
The Illinois Central railroad has
started very practical movement in
this section in the interest of good
roads, says the New Orleans Times
Democrat. 1t is one that will have.
we feel confident, the support of all
and will be followed by the other COM
panies as well. 1t is needless to point
out that railroad is benefited by good
roads in the country it runs through.
Whatever brings prosperity to the
tributary region of course brings bust
ness and prosperity to it.
Good roads allow produce for ship
ment by the railroad to be brought a
much longer distance and in better
condition than otherwise possible. If
the roads are bad. it will scarcely pay
to haul goods more than IL or 10 miles
they will not bear longer transporta-
tion-but if the highways are well
maintained these same goods can be
hauled % and 30 miles at no greater
cost. But while it is undoubtedly to
the interest of the companies to look
after the highways and make sure that
they are maintained in good order. the
railroads have generally so much other
work to attend to that they can scarce
ly give time and attention to this mat
ter, which cannot be regarded as a
part Of their legitimate duties.
The good roads movement shows
great strength in the north. where a
practical test has proved that road
way will pay for itself in two years
that is. the profit of the farmers from
the cheaper hauling will in two years
exceed the original cost of the high
way. The south, however. has done
little in this matter as yet. for which
reason the work of the Illinois Central
will be all the more appreciated.
