Early Asphalt Roads.

History and tradition have furnished
us with the basic information which
has guided us in building the civiliZa-
ton of today. 1t Is said that In prehis-
toric times the meas of Peru built
roads that extended from the tropical
ly heated valleys up the mountains to
the regions of perpetual frost, using
the natural asphalt rock, and these
roads are in good condition today. The
discovery of n large section in Ken
lucky covered with asphalt rock, which
scientists have pronounced perfect
and natural combination of asphalt
and quartz sand, most valuable for
paving purposes and far superior to
any artificial combination that could
be made, is of vital Importance. says
the American Asphalt Journal. The
day may not be far distant when ev-
cry city and village will have all streets
paved with asphalt rock. a material
which is not only the most durable.
but cleanly and nOiseless.

ReIny RemOnstrancc.

Johnny and Harry had been left at
home with their big sister, mother hav-
ing gone out.
At bedtime they wanted to "stay up
for mother" but their sister relentless
ly put them to bed. Harry maintained
a stolid Indifference. but Johnny cried
Justify.
Their sister listened at the foot of the
stairs, hoping they would soon be good.
At last Johnny stopped, and the lis
tener heard him say: you cry bit,
IIarrX. I'm tired."-London Mail.

What Good Roads Do.

Good roads, like good streets, make
habitation along them most desirable.
They cconomize time and force In
transportation Of products, reduce
wear and tear on horses, harness and
vehicles and enhance the market value
Of real estate. They raise the value of
farm lands and farm products and
tend to beautify the country through
which they pass, They facilitate ru-
raj mail delivery and are potent aid
to education, religion and sociability.
Charles Sumner once said. 1.-The road
and the schoOlmaster are the two most
important agents in advancing civili-
zation."

Taught to De Good Citizens.

There can be no question as to the
necessity of emphatic instruction in
the public school in certain elements
of good citizenship which will go far
toward making and keeping a town
beautiful. The method by which such
instruction can best be given is mat
ter for pedagogical experts to decide.
but it is tit and needful that the public
schools should train the individual In
his relation to public utilities. The
pupil should be thoroughly educated to
feel that streets, parks, public build
ings. etc, belong to the people and that
whoever maltreats them is an enemy
of the people. Even the primitive vir-
tues are not without their aesthetic
value. besides being essential to
morals. Those who are trained in hab-
its of cleanliness and neatness will not
tolerate foul streets, and respect for
public property will be check on van
dalism, even though the beauty of art
be not appreciated. 1t is quite as i'm
portant for the schools to make good
citizens as to develop individual abil-
ties. and the need for instruction of
this sort is steadily growing.

why They Don't Grow.

"Thc most | remember about the
town." said traveller when asked
about a certain Iowa village sis that
there We're hogs wallOwing in the
mudholes in the streets, every house
wanted repainting. and the hitching
posts in front of the stores all leaned
over ns if tired out" There are u
good many towns like that in the cOun-
try. aud yet their inhabitants wonder
why they don't grow faster.

OLDFIELD,
Miss Banks Novel Praised by the Spec
tatOr


The London Spectator devoted col
unn and half to a most iattering re-
view of ''olofield.' by Nancy Huston
Tanlis, who has written a veritable Ken
lucky idyl, which has taken pre-emi-
nence among the publications of this
year.
Possibly one reason why Miss Banks
book has been received so favorably is
that she has confined it strictly to the
period with which it deals. The peace
full atmosphere OF its pages is not trou-
hlad by war or rumors of war; politics
arG k~otty public questions are entirely
outside of Its makeup.
The tranquil current of rura! village life
at its best. With a community of tastes,
interests and opinions binding all to-
setfer, is the basis on which rests Miss
Banks literary superstructure. The great
charm of the writer lies in her fresh and
lulspoiled descriptions Of nature and her
ability 20 reproduce with delicacy and
fidelity the mon and women typical of
the day and the section in which the
scenes of her novel are laid. The tone
OF her work is SO pure and elevating;
she excels SO thoroughly in making all
the truth beauty and sentiment which
she has in her mind felt by those to
whom she transmits what she wishes to
say, that it is no wonder that her fame
has crossed the sea and has made her
name a household word in England, as
we'll as America.

Iris title book is one Of the first fruits

sickness. It is an exceedingly interesting
book to read, and its optimism would he

r,foved worthlcssness of so many vaunt-
ed sure cures or preventives OF seasick-
s.ss The author of this book, however,
nuts forward the claims OF no specific
says, indeed, that there is no specific
vel asserts, with all the positiveness of
conviction founded upon ample expert
erce that seasickness is true disease,
ard that it is preventable and durable.
The directions for tiose who would Toy-
aee with pleasure and freedom from i'll
,iess are most explicit. beginning with
r,.rraratory course of treatment before
ICING on board, and continuing through
the preliminary stages of apprehension
aud slight discomfort to those Of nau-
sea. dizziness. emesis. despair. and in
difference to fate. II is fair to presume,
however. that those who follow the early
instructions will have no need of the
therapeutic counsels for the declared dis
ease.
