The advantages of bituminous ma

Men Cheered Florence Nightingale.

The late Sir John Steele. sculptor to
Queen Victoria. was modelling Il bust
of Florence Nightingale. when an of
ficer of one of the Highland regiments
which had suffered so cruelty i'll the
Crimcan, heard that the bust had just
been completed. and was III Sir john
studio. Many of the men i'll his com
pany had passed through the hospital
at Scutari, and he obtained permission
from the sculptor TO bring some of
them to see il. Accordingly squad
of men one day marched into the big
studio and stood in line.
They had no idea why they had been
mustered in SO strange Il place. With
out II word of warning the bust was
uncovered. and then. as by one i'm
pulse the men broke rank. and with
cries of Miss Nightingale! Miss
Nightingale"' surrounded the model
and with hats off cheered the figure OF
their devoted nurse until the root
rang.
SO spontaneous and hearty and Sc
inspiring was the whole scene that il
after days Sir John Steele declared
il to be the greatest compliment OF hi:

Are worth Paying For.

L
The Good Roads organization OIL 1he
State of New York has at last
reached the conclusion that good ROADS
cannot be achieved except by PAYING
for them. and has therefore decided 10
press for an appropriation rom 'ne
Leg stature of 81 100000 for the cur
tent year, the full amount TO :'e eA-
pradeG upon the highways OIL the
State.
AS starter. and in the absence OIL
securing anything better, 1t Is 10 pe
hoped the efforts of the organization
may prove successful. Ii the appro
priution of a million dollars per annum
| could be made continuous for Il sum-
| Glen; number of years. undoubtedly III
| due time the State would find ltseiI
| in nossesssion of first class highways.
| Co,,tir uous appropriations. however
cannot be counted upon, and III 1ne
meantime the sporadic millions APP
| mcpriated will be so spread out over
the State as to really accomplish no
tactical or permanent results.
The great State of Ohio years ago
solved the good roads problem, when
Its Legislature passed Il law dlFlo
ing the State into districts and max
ing it compulsory upon each dlstrlc'
to build it's own roads and keep then
in repair. the lands themselves being
taxed for the cost in proportion u
the benefits received. The owners OF
the lands put up an energetic Nich
against the scheme. but shc law stooe
the test with the result that ohlt
to-day has the most perfect system
| of public roads of not only any Stat'
in the Union, but of any equal are;
IN the world.
The roads cost the farmers goot
: | round sum. and for several years TN
burden upon the land seemed almos
too heavy to bear, but the end JUST
fed the means. and now NO farme
would be willing to surrender IN
, roads and take back his proportion
: of the cost.
Il The good roads have more than re
imbursed the lands for their cost, an
thew are there for all time to come, tn
e Keeping of them in repair being TO
e very large extent a labor of love-

the DAYS WORK

Do the work of the day as well
As you have the wit to do;
Try for the best-for the best will tell
What was the end in view.
Always your best-it is cheap to shlrk;
The best makes the worker glad;
And people remember the better work.
Forgetting the weak and bad.
They remember the careful tool
AS well as the perfect song.
Scant is the memory for a fool,
Or him who is idle long.
People remember the honest few
Who gave of the best they had
They will remember the good you DO
And always forget the bad.
Do the work of the day as well
As though it would close your tolls
He who a sermon in stone would teR
Must chisel and carve and MOL
Weak and lifeless, or firm and true,
The work of the day is set.
People remember the good we do
The bad they will soon forget
Yesterday is a record made,
Changeiess. for good or i'll;
Hands to-day must be unafraid
Ready to work your will:
Useless, tomorrow. to sadly rue
Plans that were far from sure.
People remember the good you do
And they forget the poor.

A correspondent sends us curious
and interesting account of Il test for
smallpox which was tried in Ports
mouth during an outbreak which took
place there many years ago. In
certain place in the town there was
d death in almost every house, while
in an adjoining street there We're no
cases at all. The theory was pro-
pounded that the air of the former
street was infected, and the authori-
ties resorted to this test: They erected
Il tall pole at the end of each street,
and at the top of each pole was
fastened piece of fresh meat. At the
end Of two houSs the meat in the in
fected street was rotten. while in the
other street it remained sweet and
good for twenty-four hours. 1t would
be interesting to learn if there are
other cases of the successful applIca-
cation of this test.-London Globe.
