EASTER.

The observance of Easter is becom-
ing more pronounced every year by the
churches. Its celebration typifies the
resurrection of Christ, and all Chris
tians believe in that. essential truth,
for if Christ be not risen then we are
diveste of hope and are of all men
most miserable. This festival season
may have disputed origin, but the in
tention being a pure one makes it a
pleasing custom that should disrobe
prejudice of her objections and make it
a glad observance in songs. music and
springs choicest flowers Easter should
be an awakening of dead feelings to
those of JOY and hope, reminding faith
in the risen Savior's promises. II am
the resurrection and the life; he that
believeth on me though he were dead
shall live again"

THE COST OF BAD ROADS.

A civil engineer in Indiana has made
a careful calculation of the saving value
of good roads that is orthy of consid-
Grafton by the hauling public, which is
not prepared to figure out economy for
itself and generally ahides under the
to drag load over one road than to
trot it over another.
The fact is, we believe, that On the
nearly perfect good road" afforded by
their smooth, rigid and level steel rails,
a ton of freight is hauled by the rail-
roads of this country 100 miles at the
same cost, in money, 25 cents. that is
reckoned as the average cost of hauling
ton of produce one mile over the
average country road, which shows that
the goodness" of road really counts
for good deal, when the count is
made on an exact basis. The engineers
calculations, however, relate to the
comparative economy of different kinds
of country roads. He estimates that
the cost OF moving one ton, by horse
power, over one mile of dry sandy road
is 81 cents; over wet sand, 80 cents
over mud and ruts, 80 cents, over
broken stone ruts, 20 cents; over an
earth road dry and hard, Is cents; over
broken stone road in good, condition
8 cents; over compact gravel road,
S.S cents; over stone paving, 5.33 cents;
over asphalt, 81 cents. He argues that
II wagon transportation at cost of 5
cents ton mile could be made gen.
eral many millions of dollars would be
saved, and millions of tons of merchan-
disc, which cannot now be handled at
profit, would be available.
The argument is rather more forci-
bly, presented by another writer. The
best authorities, he says, place the
average haul" of the American far
mer in getting his produce to the near
est market or railroad at twelve miles.
and the average cost per ton for haul
| ing over country roads So for the
twelve miles, or IS cents per ton per
mile. He adds: THE total number
of tons hauled per year by the farmers
OF this county is estimated at 300, 0OO,-
600, which makes the cost of getting
the surplus farm products of this coun-
~ to the railroad station or local mar
kets no less than $90O,OO0,OOO every
year, or more than the national debt.
This amount also exceeds the total
operating expenses of all the railroads
in the United States"
