From OR Regtiar Correspondent.
AS one travels from Tall Pine 10
st. lingo post Office by the nearer
route, he cannot avoid observing the
gradual and sudden inciinations Of
hills, which amid the wrinkles aud
intirmities Of falling time, still have
to show an unfaded memorial Of
their glorious youth. Could they
speak no doubt they would tell us Of
men whom they knew in far off ages
men who believed in Jehovah, in
holy angels and in an evil one, whose
subtle depravity had inoculated all
natural humanity That the iudg
ment of observation is founded on
observed similarity is a fact we
readily admit In passing along
by AS BIS and C's farms weobserye
that fields OF the respective farms
have been ploughed, rolled and
narrowed. Now as it is the last
month Of autumn, we Judge by OBJ
serving the similar condition OF
fields that A, b and G have saved
their wheat, or at least, they have
put their fields in proper condition
to receive the precious grain

hammerers (aiekers) were plentiful,
but they like other birds are seldom

Tears Up the Street.

A track-breaking machine is used
for tearing up old street railway
tracks, says tho Engineering News.
The machine resembles a box car,
with two heavy iron arms projecting
In front and extending toward the
ground. A heavy chain along each
arm passes over a sheave at the end,
and has strong hooks by which the
chain Is attached to the rail. When
the chains are hauled in by the wind
ing engine on the car the track Is torn
up bodily, ties and paving being SO
loosened that they are easily removed.
The machine has greatly facilitated
the work of tearing up old cable rail-
way tracks, embedded in concrete, as
without it the breaking up OF concrete
by picks and sledges would have been
very tedious. Where these tracks
have been torn up cross trenches are
roughly made for wooden ties, leaIfny
the large mass Of old undisturbsd con.
crete between. Heavy girdeF rails are
spiked to the ties, lined up by means
of a transit, and concrete is then ram
med in around the ties and old con-
crete to form ap/even and solid bed
for new paving.

Found Dead and Fined.

From an American traveller lately
returned from Mexico comes the fol-
lowing wonderful and veracious story
of Mexican justice:
II went to the land Of the Monte
zumas few years ago for my health"
said the returned traveller, "and was
staying in little town not very far
from the Texas border. One morning
the corpse of a cowboy was found in
the bushes in the outskirts Of the vii
lage. 1t seems he had come over from
the other side of the Rio Grande to
attend fandango. He INDUCED lit
tie too freely in julque while at the
dance, and doubtless excited the jeal-
ousy Of some hot headed Mexican be-
cause OF too much attention paid to a
dark eyed senorita At least, that
was the theory Of the killing, because
a bag of money amounting to $500,
all in gold, was found On the body,
proving that the murder had not been
done for robbery. Besides the coin
a costly, very costly, sixshooter, sill
yer mounted and ivory handled, was
strapped around the deceased. The
finding Of the gun was the occasion
of a trial before the local alcalde. or
justice of the peace. 1t was against
the law to carry weapons, aad the
dead man was fined $500, just the
sum they found on him, for violating
the Mexican statute.-New York Tri'

GOOD roads. Good roads would do good
to all men. The United States, instead
Of having the worst roads within the
limits of civilization, should have the
best. 1t is curious contradiction that
Americans insist On fastrailroad trains.
fast ships, fast mails, fast horses and
fast autos, but also apparently insist
On slow roads. AS city should have
good streets, so should the country
have good roads. Roads heavy with
mud or dust or rough with ruts and
hills are not only an evidence of un-
thrift, but a bar to progress. Ruts and
hills are almost as much Of check On
intercourse as tollgates.
But the good roads movement has
struck deep in mems minds, and will
grow till bad roads shall have been
made good Good roads are a paying
investment. They promote neighbour
hood intercourse, bring the school,
church and farm house nearer to each
other, reduce the distance between the
market and the farm, increase the Ion
gevity of wagons and economiZc horse

Good Roads in Politics.

The good roads movement has made
such progress in New York State aud
has won the approval of the people so
thoroughly that there is a constant
rivalry between the Republican and
Democratic parties in that State as to
which shall present the most salts
factory good roads plank in its plat
form. This zeal for good roads does
not die with the election. New York
State has a very good roads law,
though doubtless, as the Democrats
claim, it is open to improvement, so as
to give more good roads.
The criticism Is made that the I'm
proved roads in New York State are
too much In unconnnected sections.
They are not continuous, so that III
travelling considerable distances the
enjoyment of the hard bottomed I'M
proved roads is marred by the neces-
sity Of traversing occasional sections
OF the cid stye road Of dust or mud.
It is q happy condition when there is
no longer the need Of demand for the
construction of good roads generally.
but merely the complaint that there
are gaps remaining Of the old discred-
tied dirt roads.
Good roads halt In PennsylvaDjas-ssha~
demand being met by law full Of
promises, which,, being unsupported
by appropriations, have never been
realized in performance. New York
Kew Jersey and Massachusetts, are
each making progress in road recon-
struction, while Pennsylvania stands
still. Perhaps when good roads are
made party issue, as in New York,
something will be done. We have had
road commissions and legislation on
the subject. The opposition to road
Improvement on account Of its sup
posed cost has about died out. But the
actual building Of improved roads in
Pennsylvania on large scale has not
yet commenced.
Philadelphia In its suburbs and two
Of its adjoining townships have some
improved roads Of the first quality.
They show what good roads are and
what they can do for ncighborhood.
1t is possible, however, that for this
State good roads must wait until the
politicians see that there ore votes
to be had here for good roads as well
as in New York State.-Philade!phia

to good use the interval OK

poses to put public road building i'll the

y and the State. This would ncceSsl-
tate yearly expenditure of S3.GO,coo

other suitable provisions for adjusting
The old system Of road supervision TO

The object of this bill is altogether

however, by welding out Of it the Or
portunity for political engineering. 1t
would be an Improvement. for exam
pie, if the three State Highway Com
missioners should all be competent
engineers, and if tie counties Of the
State should be so divided rs to give
them all field Of jurisdiction and
employment. This would make 1t TN
necessary to appoint another man to do
the work while the three Commissioners
should lock on, and would secure cumu-
lative official service.
Three million dollars could hardly be
spent to better advantage in PennsEl-
vania than in building good roads.
Money so used would bring instant ad-
vantage to the ta1-payinG contributor
1t would 50 cheaper transportation as

so contribute to the comfort OF move

the money contributed shall go straight

In the year 1910 the Danes made 4
descent on Hamburg. then. as now,

Hamburg had had warning Of the con-
templated attack. They were ready,

and dying behind them as a result OF
the conflict.

these coins has lately been sold among
A collection which belonged to de-
ceased collector in Berlin. On one
side are these words: ''The King OF
Denmark has been TO Hamburg. If
:hon wouldst know what lie achieved,
.ook on the other side" You tu:.. the
coin over, and the other side is-a
blank.
There are more than one Of these
historic jokes to be seen in various
rarts of the world. y notable one is
4 monument in the market place ut
CobleEtZ.
When Napoleon's corQucTing army
marched through this city on its way
to crush Russia. French general
erected this monument to celebrate
his victorious progress, and on it
carved m inscription. setting forth
the fact that Coblcntz had been added
to the French Empire, anl signed
with his own name.
\ few months later. and Russian
general entered the town, but in Dur-
suit of broken regiments Of starving
Frenchmen. He saw the monument
and read the grand inscription. Tie
did not blot it out, but with grim
irony he carved beneath them. ''Seen
and approved by me-" and he added
his name. So the words remain to
this day.
There is q curious old almshousc in
the Herefordshire town Of Leomins-
ter. On the outside wall is rude
carving Of q msn armed with heavy
hatchet Underneath are these words:
"He who gives away all before lie is
dead, let him take up this hatchet and
chop off his head" A former inhabi-
taat of the town was the builder OF
these almshouses, and so charitable
was he that at the age of about sixty
ended his days in the very alnlshousc
he himself had built, and before he
died he requested that this amusing
warning might be inscribed for tho
benefit Of posterity.-Answers.

WORDS OF WISDOM.

Worry is forethought gone to seed.
1t is not how long, but how we'll we
live.
To know temptation does not dis
honor
A clear conscience can bear any
trouble.
Never sacrifice comfort for the sake
Of appearances.
Industry is fortunes right hand, and
frugality her left.
1t isn't conscience that makes cow
ards of US all, perhaps, but cowardlce
that gives us conscience.
Nothing undermines the health Of the
soul SO much as selfishness, which, in
fact, is the root Of all evil.
To normal heart pleasures which
in some way cannot be shared are like
gritty bread-necessary, perhaps, but
distasteful.
More likely is 1t that small love will
bring great love down to its own level
than that the large love will make the
small increase. <
The greatest wisdom-as acknowledge
Of our Ignorance. .~|Yhe more we learn,
HE the fHasoosree We realize how much knowl-
edge Is beyond Us.
If the men who do nothing but think
would work q little more, and the men
who Go nothing but work would think
little moro, there would be much
more happiness for both.
Failure does not necessarily imply
personal weakness. The strongest men
Of to-day, in business and financial re-
sources, We're many of them weaklinss
who failed a few years ago and have
since recouped by the exhibition of per.
sonal strength. If you fail once keep
up your courage and try again.

Telegraphing From Trains.

Recently wireless telcgraphic signals
were received on a special railroad
train running at the rate of sixty miles
IN hour between Toronto and Mon
treal. The messages We're sent from
a station at st. Dominique, and the
train remained in communication with
the station over q distance of eight OF
ten miles. The electric waves were
transmitted by means Of two vibrators
ten by twelve feet, connected with al
induction coil giving an eisht-lnch
spark, and were received on the train
by an ordinary coherer. The connect
inc wires were run through the signal
cord guides inside the train, extending
about one car length on each side OF
the coherer. The signals We're rend
cred audible by relay ringing bells IN
three cars.-Youth's Companion.
