Good Roads.

From the New York Sun.
Striking proof of the benefits to be derived
by the farmers through the betterment of
rural highways was offered the other day at
a good roads meeting composed Of the resi-
dents of several townships in Bucks county.
In Pennsylvania. The townships records
were produced to show that at the present
time the amount Of money raised by taxa
ton and available for local improvements
is more than one-third larger than 1t was q
few years ago. although the tax ratio re-
mains tho same. This Is due, OF course, to
an increase in the value Of property, an in
crease which we are assured has been
brought about solely by the construction of
modern highways. Townships in Bucks
county which have borrowed money to
carry on the work of road making find
themselves enabled to reduce materially
their debt annually by reason of this en-
hancement OF real estate values.
The experience of these Pennsylvania
farmers comedies substantially with that of
our rural friends in other parts Of the United
States. That good roads bring wealth there
can be no question. and. as has been shown,
the advantages which accrue from them are
enjoyed as much by the farmers as by other
members of the community.

THE VICES OF CULTURE.

Vice will never cease" says Prof Will

its own peculiar brand of vice as one soil

What are the bosom vices of the level of

give the still more disagreeable answer that
they are swindling and adroitness, and

vice, and even when exposed disposes to
conformation. Public opinion visits Its Sc
verest censure on the mere burglar and

culture what the tinancier does at his, and
laments the ignorance, the lack of educa-
ton in which such viciousness spawns Pub
lie opinion denounces the man charged with
public trust who betrays It: the legisla-

islation, and. when 1t catches him, sends
him to wear stripes. But how rarely is 1t
that the men of education. college men.
who were the bribers of the convict are
caught and punished. The ignorant level
has its vices in plenty. but they are vulgar
ones, gratifying physical desires for the
most part. One has to get up to the higher
level of culture to reach the plane where
swindling is a fine art. with college trained

The Photograph is newly devised instru-
