The Tramp Ready For Any job.

The gay cat applies for a job where
he hears men are wanted, he knows
not for what. "Can you drive four?"
asks the boss. 1t may be the hobo
doesn't know whether it is four nails
or four tent stakes he is to drive, but
he confidently answers: "Sure thing!
Had a job driving four last month
at -" (any Of the 10000 places he has
been to, so he can answer questions IL
the boss is inclined to put them), and
the next morning, finding the four
he is to drive are horses, he confden-
tally approaches a fellow employee
with. Say, Bud, show me how to put
the harness on the plugs, will you?"
Asked if he knew how to make watches
or dynamite cartridges, he would doubt
less say he did. He might fail at Ell
ther, but he would not weakly deny
himself an opportunity to try. This is
not true Of all, but it is a distinctive
trait born of necessity in men that seek
employment in many and various fields.

TOad Stones.

Most readers have no doubt heard of
the precious jewels which the toad car
ries in his brain box, and so called
toadstones, which were in reality the
teeth of fossil fish, were formerly worn
in finger rings as protection against
poison.
1t was thought that the best stones
were those voluntarily elected by the
living toads; but, as the latter were not
addicted to freely giving up their treas
ures in that way, 1t was necessary to
procure the coveted articles by other
means, and the recognized method was
to decapitate the hapless batrachian
at the instant he swallows his breath
The feat naturally demanded consider
able celerity, such as could only be ac-
quired by constant practice, and it is
not reasonable, therefore, to assume
that although the endeavors to gain
possession of the jewels were perhaps
numerous they must have invariably
been unsatisfactory. especially to the

puts all county ana all state conylcIs
sentenced for a less term than ten
years at work in roadbuilding. South
Carolina employs all convicts on a SEN
tence of less than five years. In Ten
nessee, Alabama and Georgia, county
and many state convicts are thus work
ed. A movement is being made to ex-
tend the system in these three states
and to adopt it in Virginia.
The arguments in favor Of this en-
ployment of convicts are that 1t does
away with the great expense of large
penitentiaries, is healthier and better
for convicts and more humane, too,
takes them away from competition
with free labor to the greatest possible
degree, enables the county or state to
build greatly needed highways at low
cost and thus makes their labor of ben
eft to the public, which has been put
to expense by their crimes. The cost
Of convict labor on the public roads in
the south varies from % to 80 cents
day, says the Boston Herald. This in
cludes their food and clothing and care.
In the states where it Is used a sys-
tenn of convict camps, with movable
prison houses, is provided. There are al
ways an Overseer and sufficient armed
guards to look after the gang. Now and
then convict escapes. AS a rule they
are cOntented. The men are of course
in the south mostly colored. One in q
dozen is white.
They are given considerable freedom
in their movements and at times are
made underforemen over their fellows
or put to work at special labor where
they must be trusted. In most locaH-
ties they are dressed in prison uniform
and given ball and chain, these latter
often being removed when they estab-
lsh reputation. In some localities
they are left free from ball and chain
and not made to wear prison garb un-
less state COnviCts.
A visit to some convict camps at
night reveals the characteristic spirit
of the southern negro. At Augusta,
Ga, they were found with musical in
struments of various kinds, giving q
concert for their own entertainment.
The guards say many of these men
are habitual members Of the chain
gang. One man was pointed out who

1t is told of the late ?. D. Armour
that on one occasion he made a present
of a suit of clothes to each of his en-
ployees in a certain department. Each
man was told that he might order his
own suit and send the bill to Mr.. Ar
mour, no restrictions being made as to
price. In order to avail himself fully
of this liberality one young man or
dered evening clothes costing $50.
When the bill was sent in, Mr.. Armour
sent for the clerk to vouch for its ac-
curacy and, finding it right, assured
the man it would be paid. AS the clerk
was leaving, however, Mr.. Armour said
to him:

ItaIy's Highway System.

In Italy the principal highways are
maintained by the state, and every bit
Of main road is examined daily by
road laborers who have been appointed
with some regard to efficiency The
government road laborers (cantonniers)
are selected for good character and
honesty. The limit Of age is thirty five
years, and they must be of robust con-
stitution. their hours of work are
from sunrise to sunset, In which time
each cantOnnier must go over the en-
tire track of road apportioned to him.
He is not permitted to absent or shell
ter himself more than he can possibly
avoid, whatsoever the weather may
be. His chief duties are the leveling
and repair of the highway and the re-
moval of snow, mud, dust, etc. He
must also gratuitously assist wayfar-
ers in distress and vehicles in trouble
on account Of accidents or of bad
weather, and no recompense may be
asked for his labor.

GOVERNMENTS EXPERIMENTS
Cost of Road Construction to Be
Greatly Reduced.

Greatly Reduced.
As result of laboratory experiments
conducted by officers of the United
States government the department Of
agriculture expects soon to be in q po-
sition TO vastly improve the methods
and greatly reduce the cost of road
construction throughout the country.
The work that is now being done by
the department is for the purpose of
developing the physical and chemical
properties Of the materials employed
in rOadmaking.
The engineering features have al
ready been well established, and the
depth at which the base rocks should
be placed has been determined as well
as the exact angle of the road in order
to insure drainage and protection. The
department experts will now endeavor
to pick out the rocks that are best
adapted for surface covering.
From the investigations thus far pur-
sued with certain rocks used for mac
adam roads, says Good Roads Maya
zine, it has been found that by judi
cious selection of materials roads can
be put down to last from five to ten
times as long as those built under
the old systems without any addi-
tional expense in construction. A pro
gramme of work has been outlined to
cover the next two years, and in that
time the department expects to fur
nish information to prospective road
builders in every part of the country.
The laboratory that has been estab-
lished in connection with this work is
very complete.

AristOcratic Ants.

The slavehOlding ants are Of several
kinds and differ greatly in the manner
in which they treat their vassals. Some
make them do all the work under the
direction of Overseers; others share
their labors, while still others have
fallen into such habits of luxury as to
be unable or unwilling to wait upon or
even to feed themselves and are car
ried about and provided with food by
their body servants. In many cases
this sybaritism is the mere ostentatious
love of being served. The incapacity Is
not physical, but moral, and arises
from an aristocratic aversion to any
kind of menial labor

Return of "Princess Chic"

Seldom has a more happy combination
of pretty music, pretty women and pref
ty costumes been offered the ST. Paul
theater-goerS than that which character
lied the presentation of 1.-THE Princess
Chic" last season. 1t is therefore gen
u1ne pleasure to announce the re-appear-
ance of Kirke La Shelle Opera company
in this charming opera comique. The
term opera comique must not be trans
lated into comic opera, for the two are
very different A comic opera. in the
general acceptance of the term, is kind
of an Illogical lot of funny incidents, in
terSperSed with musical and terpsichor-
can SpecialueS, while an opera comiQue
is literally a coherent dramatic story set
to music. Of the latter type is 1.-THE
Princess Chic and while it has suffi-
cient fun to recommend it to the average
theater- goer, it will nevertheless bear
the analysis of the more critical con-
nOiSSeur of music and drama
The opera proved one of the season s
biggest successes last year and st. Paul
patrons Of music are rejoicing over the
fact that a few new topical songs have
been added to the score. The cast is
practically the one which has already
appeared here, except for the substitu-
ton, in the prima donna role. of Maude
Lillian Berri for Marguerite Sylvia. 1.-THE
Princess Chic is just returning from a
Pacific coast tour, which has proven an
unequaled triumph, and the papers in
that section of the country seem unani-
nous in the opinion that Miss Berri is
indeed an acquisition to the cast The
St Paul engagement opens on Sunday
evening, March 8, and continues all the
