WHERE BEAUTY PAYS.
Appearance of Paris Worth Millions
to Her People.

A large number of peOpe-the ma
jOrty, in fact-have no consciousness
of the desirablity of beauty in a city
or town, says Charles Coffin in Worlds
Work. With them the highest consid-
Grafton is the convenience or discom-
fort of the city life, and in this re-
spect such enormous improvements
have been made within recent years
that the city seems to represent every
thing that could be desired. "What is
this beauty anyway they eXclaim.
Perhaps they were in Paris during
the exposition, when the omnibus sys-
TEN proved itself entirely inadequate
TO accommodate the crowds who wish
ed to be carried. They came home and
rallied against the miseries of it and
eXtolled the superiority of their own
system and rapid transit, though the
latter is not without its drawbacks.
Then they did not have a decent steak
all the time they We're in Paris, and
the oysters-but the foreigners don't
know what oysters are. Every time
it is the conveniences and comforts or
the lack of them upon which they
harp.
The dignity or beauty of Paris, while
it cannot have escaped their notice at
the time, has not been brought home III
their hearts as a thing that it would be
desirable to emulate in New York. Yet
if they had learned from the foreign
ers any wrinkle that would improve
their own business they would be quick
to adopt it.
Yet may not this same beauty be
just such wrinkle? l think it is
worth to the Parisians about $200,OO0-
600 year. Paris caters for the world,
and its main store in trade is its beau
ty, which 1t keeps on increasing, and
the treasures of its works of art. Poor,
impoverished Italy! Where would she
be today if it were not for the beauty
of her cities, much of it created 400 or
500 years ago, on which she is now
gathering dividend of $90,000,000 an
nually?

State Commissioner Needed.

What is needed by our people in the
matter of public roads are education
and agitation, with a view to securing
the appointment by the next legislature
of a commissioner of public roads, says
the Goldsboro IN. c. Argus. Such a
man must be competent man. He
must not only know good road when
he sees it, but he must be able to build
a good road. He must also be man
who can talk to the people. who can
tell county commissioners how to place
bonds-an educator, in fact. He must
visit every county in the state at least
twice a year. In order to secure a
competent man he must be paid liv-
ing salary-say $500 a year. or about
S2S county. And such a man will be
well worth to any county many times
that sum each and every year.

SILVER SPRINGS, N w. April The Gigantic Salt Train lie
Salt Freight Traffic Mgr Donovan B. & M. r. R,

AS accustomed as are the people here
to witnessing the departure of immense
shipments of salt a great cOncourse of
citizens gathered to cheer the latest and
NATURALIZATION saline load which left
Silver Springs at seven o'clock this
morning according to schedule. on its
journey eastward over the Erie, Delaware
q Hudson and Boston & Maine Railroads.
When it is considered that this train
consists of seventy-twO cars, making a
total length of nearly mile. and that
salt is an extremely heavy commodity,
it will be quite apparent to even the lay
man that it was impossible to haul the
big train intact; so it went in two Sec
lions, each section being drawn by two
of the Erie Railroad company's man.
moth locomotives.
The second section left at :05 and will
be run five minutes behind section one
on Its trip eastward.
1t was a splendid sight. The cars were
gaily decorated with flags, banners, etc.,
each car being labelled with the name Of
the consignee and its destination. Each
car was nearly double the capacity of the
ordinary freight car, and all the cars
were fresh from the shops, being of the
latest design-and all Of the same size
and color, making train such as it not
ordinarily seen.
The crowd cheered and whistles blew.
1t was indeed spectacle not soon to be
forgotten in Silver Springs, the home of
Worcester Salt.
From railroad officials it is learned that
this train is the best equipped freight
train ever moved in this country. 1t is
fitted with air brakes and Will be run
with the precision of a tirst-class pas
senger train.
To the person with a passion for sta
tistics. there are some startling figures in
connection with this shipment.
For example: II contains nearly 3,000,-
600 pounds of Worcester Salt for dairy
and household use; enough salt to sea-
son $4,000, COO pounds of butter.
Mr.. N. Il. Donovan, freight traffic
manager of the Boston q Maine Railroad
system, states that this shipment is the
largest single shipment of one commod-
ity ever made over his road, to whose
rails it will be delivered by the Delaware
& Hudson Co.
A significant question which will nat
urally suggest itself TO an ordinary
reader, is: " How is it possible to ship so
much of one commodity at one time?"
The answer is found in the peerless
quality of Worces ter Salr which has
made it the favo!ite in dairy sections
where high-grade salt is demanded,
and which has made possible the colossal
business requiring mammoth trains to
handle the sales of this brand of salt.
II may also be Of interest to the reader
to know that this is the seventh special
train shipment made by the Worcester
Salt Co., and it is the largest shipment
yet made, when the territory in which
the goods are to be distributed is con
sidered.
The contents of the big train have been
entirely sold to merchants in New Hamp'
shire, Vermont and Northwestern Massa.
