Good Roads.

How important good roads are com
paratively few persons realize. The
effects of good roads upon any coun-
try district is almost to be compared
with the effect of a good circulation
of the blood upon the vigor and heart
mess of the human body. 1t is all
pervading; it is felt every day and
every hour. Roads poorly built, or
kept in a slovenly state; roads that
are everlastingly being repaired, but
are never in repair; roads that are no
sooner free from mud than they be-
come intolerable with dust; roads that
are full of ruts and stones and holes
all this is not only injurious
directly through the wear and tear of
wagons and the personal inconven-
fence of travel. Indeed, great as are
these evils, they are by far the least
part of the injury; for the habit of
seeing and using such roads constant
ly, and of becoming contented with
them or impotently grumbling about
them, insidiously effects the whole
tone of life, the habits of thought and
action of the people of any country
district. People ought to be made tc

Theatre goers differ largely in taste.
Some enjoy drama, some orchestral
music, some bandmusic, some are ap-
pealed to more strongly by special
ties, songs, dances, etc. Others are
reached through the eye, beautiful
scenery, elaborate stage settings, ele-
CANT costumes, correct colorings and
artistic groupings please them above
all else. The attraction gathering to-
gether and presenting all these things
in tirst-class manner is the one that
will please everybody. The Frank
Davidson Company has done this
very thing, and is reaping harvest.
They will be at the Opera House for
three nights beginning Thursday

The progress that has been made in
this country during the nineteenth
century is emphasized by the taunts
that were made at this country's ex-
pense in earlier days when the United
States had not made the impress on
civilization that is now universally
recognized.
Sydney Smith wrote in the Edin-
burg Review, in 1920:
In the four quarters of the globe,
who reads an American book? Or
goes to an American play? Or looks
at an American picture or statue?
What does the world yet owe to Amer
lean physicians or surgeons? What
new substances have their chemists
discovered or what old ones have they
analysed? What new consultations
have been discovered by the telescopes
of America? What have they done in
mathematics? Who drinks out of
American glass? Or eats from Amer
lean plates? Orwears American coats
or gowns? Or sleeps in American
blankets?'
How different all is now. American
authors are foremost in literature,
American inventors have made more
abundant contributions to the con-
veniencies of mankind than those of
all other nationalities, and America
leads the world in manufacturing su-
premacy.

IL. & o. ORDERS 100 MORE ENGINES.
Total of 265 in Year-May Spend 81 ,OOO,-

Total of 265 in Year-May Spend 81 ,OOO,-
900 at Locust Point.
A dispatch from Philadelphia says:
The Baltimore and Ohio Railroad
Company is in the market for 100
new locomotives. This order will be
in addition to the 100 locomotives now
being delivered to that company"
The ordering of more locomotives
by the B. & o. r. r. is not surprise to
those familiar with the heavy and
continuous increase in the business
of the road. The new order will mean
the expenditure of something like ST.
500, 900.
About a year ago the company Or
dered 65 new locomotives and before
these were delivered a new order for
100 more was given. Deliveries of
the last order are now being made.
With the second hundred which the
dispatch from Philadelphia states has
been decided upon the company will
have ordered 26j new locomotives
within about a year. This is proba-
bly, a record breaker in ordering
equipment, as it means an aggregate
expenditure of approximately $780,
coo for locomotives alone. Some of
these new engines are for the passen-
ger service, which, like the freight
business of the company, has been
steadily increasing.
The company has under contract
on which deliveries are now being
made-9,000 new cars, 500 flat cars
and 5000 steel coal cars. There are
also under contract 25 new passenger
coaches of the vestibuled modern
type.
In all these contracts for cars repre-
sent an expenditure of nearly $S,0OO,-
600. This huge sum, added to the
aggregate for locomotives, will make
total outlay on orders for equip
ment placed within a year in the
neighborhood of 81, 800, 900.
This large sum is only part of
what has been expended for equip
ment alone since the receivership.
Including the locomotives now being
delivered and the new order Just de-
termined upon, about 500 engines will
have been added to the property since
that time. The number of new cars,
not including those now under CON
tract, which have been secured is over
10000. Notwithstanding these addi-
lions the business of the road pro-
vides employment for all the new
equipment and there is demand for
more.
Another heavy expenditure which
is contemplated provides for further
| improvements of the Locust Point
terminals. 1t is proposed to build five
or six new piers for the use of ocean
steamers. The new piers will be
planned according to the latest ideas
and will necessitate an expenditure
of over 81 100000.

Most Important Highway Between Rc.
 gota and European Ports.
 4 dispatch from Caracas says Vene- aueIa has declared all the mouths of the Orinoco delta open to internationa, navigation. About 50 arms of the river flow directly seaward. but onfv seven of them are accessible to large vessels. The delta branch which is
 most 1reQuented by steamers is the -aaeareo, which flows to the coast op- posite the island of Trinidad, and of ters direct inland navigation from 5iudad Bolivar, far up the Orinoco. to Fort 9I Spain, the hourishing port Of Trinidad The most important branch 1T ie upper 0rinoco is the Meta river. which rises on =tke eastern slope of the ielty plateau on which Bogota stands Snd is naFigable for =paost of it's course by vessels drawing several feet of water It presents. with the Orinoco, the shortest route between the great central plateau of Colombia and the Atlantic seaboard. In other words. if helps to make q aavigable waterway rom the Andes to Europe and is re- sarded as the great coming highway between Bogota and European ports. Among the Orinoco delta streams are the rich Ian $ conceded by the Vene- zuelan government to the Orinocc company, limited an American con, cern, whose concession, according to reports from Caracas has hnen revolr ed on account of it's alleged failure to fulfill it's contract Some towns in the delta appear to have a flourishing future. Among them is Santa Cata- lina, where the Orinoco company has it's headquarters, and whence It ship ped a good deal of balata, now used as substitute for rubber Maj Stanley Paterson of England, who in 1898. made an extensive journey up the OrInoco valley. says this valley will some day develop into one of the richest commereialregions of the west ern world. Countless herds of cattle and horses may be raised there. The forests yield large quantities of nat ural products, such as rubber. quinine. and other igngs, and some traces of gold and other metals have been dis covered. It remains to be seen how far the act of the Venezuelan govern ment in mal-ing the Orinoco more ac. cessible to Il Eo ships of all nations will facilitate the development of this great valley.

 But though there is no beauty, there is granite, as one might say, in the face on those old coins. One of them that slipped from hand to hand two thousand years ago, that was dropped into beggar,s palm, or offered to the priests in the temple. or filched from the precious pouch of murdered slave, or tossed to dancing girl. or given to the embalmers for their grim and Y2gia work, that was paid out for honest bread or filthy lust, or gorgeous art-lies now on it's velvet shelf in the British Museum. for us folk of this age Of bicycles and trolley ears and women lectures and law and order to come, look at and wonder about and ask ourselves why Art, In view of these lines worn down and down into the copper. insists upon representing Geo patra as beautiful woman? It would seem that it must be because of a eer. tain quality which We know she pos sessed, g quality which either gives Us the iiea of beauty or, what is more wonderful, makes us unconscious of its absence.

 Little Donna is four and a half vears old. She is the apple of the eve of Dr. Couch of Nyack, N. Y., who is blessed with family Of bright ehjldren-a boy and quartet of younger sisters. The boy is, as a matter of course very popular with the little ones, and is an especial favorite of self-reliant Donna. This marked deficiency of brothers iii the family displeased her. She had sent frequent letters to the all-poWer- ful Santa Claus to remedy the defect. and even shouted mp the dining room chimney to him to send HIS some brothers, but tongue and pen proved alike Ineffective, and Donna had be- come disgusted. She had seen chick ems emerge from egg shells in New York city department stores The gro eeE brought a dozen eggs and rIace8 thsN on the kitchen table. Donna spied them, and acted instantly.
