One OF the many things that help to
fayorably impress a stranger with the
beauties of English country life is the
excellent condition in which the roads
are generally kept" said a gentleman
who has just returned from a cycle
trip through rural England to a writ
er for the Washington Star. After
making an extended wheeling tour
through the principal counties / can
not recall seeing a highway of any i'm
portance that was not level. hard.
clean. and in perfect order. and this
is due / learned, to their constant and
good supervision.
Every County Council has a stand
ing committee on roads. which takes
charge Of the highways aud keeps
them in repair. The committee is hi.
Yided into subcommittee. each of
which is assigned TO district There
IS an inspector TO each district. who
employs force of road members and
holds each responsible for the portion
Of a road assigned to- him. The road
member lives i'm a cottage ON the line
OF the highway which ne is required
to Keep in order. He goes over the
road every day ana removes i'm "a bar

A City of Dogs.

Munich is the great dog city Of the
world. The Bavarians are not an ex-
travagant race, and the dog license is
500, but no family is so poor that it
can't afford it's dog. In public consid-
Grafton the dog ranks little lower
than children and a little higher than
women. Dogs are everywhere at all
hours. Every street car that one sees
pass has long tail OF dogs after it
dogs whose owners are passengers. At
the entrance of every shop youm find
group of sedate and patient dogs:
and i'm front of public buildings like
the courts and the town hall the
scene resembles n dog pound. But 1t
is in the cafes that the dogs hold rev
el. Everybody takes his dog with
him and after he (the dog has drunk
his saucer Of collector the dog fares
like his master-there is such a scam
pering beneath chairs and tables that
nervous person is liable to cold
chills. Fortunately, the typical Munich
dog is a dachshund, and the confor.
nation Of what he has Of legs makes
his CREATIONS among chairs and human
legs rs little annoying ms possible. But
II is only from the banks that dogs
are absolutely excluded, ana a porter
is found at the door Of each bank for
the purpose of checking your pet like
an umbrella. The Munich dog is in
telligent well-bred and kindly. He
plays with cats without barking or
biting, carries umbrellas and walking
sticks as big as himself-New York

The farmer is the man directly inter.
ested in good roads. 81 until he de.
mands them and is willing to stand his
proportion of the expense, it is hardly
likely that tney will ever be achieved.
The great State OF Ohio is the exam
plar with respect to good roads. That
Commonwealth has them galore. They
were built by direct taxation upon the
lands through which they pass. At
their completion, when the bills had to
be paid, there was some kicking, but
to-day no farmer would take his
money back and surrender his road.
Iissouri has the worst roads of any
State in the Union. 1t y ould pay for
every railroad in the State to send out
good roads trains, but success cannot
be hoped for until the farmers them
selves shall make up heir minds that
they will have them.

EdOuard Beaupre, the young Cana

This remarkable man was born at
Willow Bunch, Assinibola. n w. r.
His father. farmer OF that district.
was only five feet eight inches in

five feet four inches. While there was
nothing remarkable about the parents.
Beaupre has a brother who, while only
eight years of age, me sures already
five feet, and il is believed in time he
will exceed his brothers height. Beau

been employed as n cowboy in the
Northwest and We-tern States. and is
proncient in the use of tie lasso and
a splendid shot Medical men who
have examined him are OF the opinion
that he will grow still taller His
great height is not ut III very appar-

but when he throws his shoulders
back and draws himself up 10 his full
height his appearance is remarkable
When he arrived n the hotel i'm Mon

" ton. There are no worse
roads in the country than
are found in the Southern States. The
proof is furnished by the Department
OF Agriculture. which has Investigated
the cost of transportation on roads in
different parts of the country, and
makes this estimate: In the Northern
and Eastern States, where the average
wagon haul for farm produce ranges
from 80 to SO miles, to haul a certain
fixed weight to railroad or boat costs
$3.50; in the prairie States and the
Southern States generally, whore the
average haul is S.S miles. ii costs 80. ~,
and in the cotton States separately
where the haul is 1926 miles. the cost
is 500" In the spring of the year
a Southern highway connecting back
towns with the railroad is little bet
ter than quagmire. What does this
mean TO the planter farmer and truck
gardener? The load" says a report
of the Department of Agriculture,
that one horse can move on iron rails
on level road requires Il horse and
n half on level asphalt pavement;
three and a half horses on the best
DNASAtAi hlONh SCNtl nOIStS
on cobblestones; twenty horses on or
binary dirt roads and forty horses on
sand" These figures are not as sig
nifcant, of course, for the New York
farmer as for his brethren South and
West but they are pregnant enough
TO make him ponder. They should be
displayed on every signpost in the ru-
raj parts.
General Stone, of the United States
Road Bureau. has compiled some fig
ures bearing on the good roads prob
lem which are Illuminating, and even
startling. He estimates that il costs
the farmers of the country every year
the enormous sum of $4,000. 900 TO
haul their products 10 rail and water,
sum which exceeds the operating eX-
penses of all the railroad companies.
Two-thirds of this sum might be
saved, he believes, by constructing
good roads. This is conclusion that
must be proved to the satisfaction of
the farmers of each district. which is
not an easy undertaking, since many
of them are so poor that present out
lay seems to them of greater moment
than prospective advantage. A man
VIM - thShNtu III Il struggle 10 keep
the wolf from the door can hardly be
expected To burden himself with an
increased road tax. Life is too short
and uncertain, he thinks 1t has been
pointed out with much force that the
farmer complains loudly about an in
crease of fraction of a cent q mile
by railroad company. which he de-
nounces as plundering monopoly. but
he Keeps on in his old imbecile way
of wearing out his horses and wagons
on eXecrable roads. General Stone
tells him that if he would have the
courage to face the cost of reasonably
good roads the farm property of the
country would appreciate probably
$1,000, 100000. Here in the North we
have seen the light. but we are not so
far advanced in the reform that we
can afford TO disparage the cotton
States. May the New Orleans conven-
ton teach them the kindergarten prin
ciples of good road-making. The more
of such conventions the better.-New
