reason TO believe that the efforts that

be crowned with success.
Schenectady County, n. Y. has sue
cessfully tried the experiment of plac-
ing the prisoners confined in the county
jail upon the roads in working out a
contract for road improvement which
was awarded to the county. One re-
suit of this is the avoidance of Schen-
ectady County by tramps.
Stone. brick and steel tracks have
not yet received the attention that they
deserve on recount of their compare
tive cheapness and durability. In this
connection it is worthy to note that
between Albany and Schenectady is
a stone track road which is said 80 be
fully as perfect as when It was built
some fifty years ago.
That Florida will soon be among the
States that lead in the mileage of good
roads is indicated by the fact that
there is now over $500, 900 available in
the internal Improvement fund and
that there is a reserve of 5000, 600
acres of swamp and overflowed lands.
worth from 81 to IS an acre. BY a re-
cent act of the Legislature this was
made available for the building of hard
roads.
Arkansas does not intend to allow
ment to flag. The Executive Commit
tee Of the State G. A. r. has requested
the county judges to call county con
ventions for this summer and fall
and appoint delegates for the State
convention to be held next January.
If other States would work in this
systematic way much more would be
accomplished than is the case where
spasmodic efforts are made to interest
people in the good roads movement.
In Scott County, Iowa, the farmers
along q certain road, finding that the
ordinary road tax was only sufficient
to keep the road in it's normally bad
condition, voluntarily entered into an
agreement to tax themselves an
amount that would make it possible
to permanently improve the road.
Land owners were to pay twenty-five
cents per acre for all the land within
one mile of the road, fifteen cents for
land within one or two miles away,
and ten cents for land between two
and three miles away. This is a
straightforward. self -helpful American
way Of dealing with the problem

THREADNEEDLE TALES.

The Bank of England-that ramb- ling, ramshackie loose-jOinted struc- ture of gray stone, blackened by years of London smoke, London grime and London soot. and forming an almost complete square from Threadneedle street on the south to Colman street on the north-does not at first sight seem a likely place for romance, and yet its history teens with stories or love, hatred, ambition, rascality and adventure.
 William Paterson, who at one time of his life had controlled every priVa- teer that ran the Spanish main-a grim, black muzzled Scotchman-was the founder of the bank. He laid the founda ton of his fortune in the buy ing and selling of slaves and the clear ing of a hundred thousand pounds as his share of the gold found on a sunk en Spanish galleon. It was with this one hundred thousand pounds that the profit derived from his buccaneering expedition that Paterson. banished to Holland by James II, and the implac- able enemy of all the Stuarts. found part of the money for the Prince of Oranges expedition across the Boyne.

VIGOROUS. LoNG-L1vED RACE.

It is hard to reconcile the familiar
 lamentations over the rush" and "e;1- citement' of American life with the fact that the last fifteen years have
 witnessed an astonishing reduction in
 the death rate of American cities.
 Either this rush and excitement have been very much exaggerated, or else We have learned how to withstand it. Take New York. for instance, the sup posed head-center Of hurry. Its death
 rate has fallen from .G.z1 pcr thou sand in 1887 to 1906 in 19C2. In Phila- delphia the decrease has been from 22.04 to 1761-which may be described
 as not at all surprising in d city ac- counted 50 slow"
 But rapid Chicago shows a falling off in the death rate from 20.21 to 1888, while Boston comes down from it's
 ominOusly high figure of 24.97 to 19.70. St Louis, Washington, New Orleans, Pittsburg, Louisville, Savannah, Gin cinnati. all show the same improve ment There has been an increase in t!,e death rate only in Baltimore and San Francisco, and there the change is very slight.
 O: course. this steady improvement this lengthening life-is due largely to what may be described ;.s modern sanitation-to d better knowledge of
 the importance Of pure water supply, q thorough sewerage system, cleanli-
 ness of streets and cleanliness of homes. Some of the gain is doubtless due also to the increased and widely ! diffused prosperity.
 But not even better water and better sewers could save a people whose nerr-
 GUS energy was dying out under an eX- cess of pressure. The American race is hard-WOrking race; that is undeni-
 able. But this sharply lessened death
 rate of the cities, where the tension is
 seVerest, shows that the race is sue
 cessfully adapting itself to its environ
 ment. It is learning to work hard and yet to live long.
 There is altogether too much talk
 about the nervous and "eXcitable' ] American temperament. The truth is that the dominant characteristic of ! those Americans who do the hard work of the world is an unfailing coolness,
 an iron imperturbability. And these mental and moral traits are matched by superb physique. It was discov- cred in 1898 that the volunteers of the i Spanish war were a great deal taller and larger and, presumably. stronger
 men than their fathers of the civil wal
 of 1S61-1S65. And it was significant
 that when the armies of all the great
 nations came together in the far east
 in the Pekin relief campaign, the criti-
 cal judgment in which all observers ! agreed was the sheer physical superi- 1 crity of the exceedingly business-likC

THE ENTERTAINMENT OF AN IDEA

The idea Of the national governmen: taking an active part in the construc- ticH of highways, so popular three. quarters of a century ago. has for sev eral decades been considered obsolete
 But the interest manifested in the Brownlow bill, which provides for na- tional aid to road building. shows tha- this idea is very much alive. Indced the popular interest in the subject is a source of surprise to those who have not been giving the matter attention. This interest is by no means q sudden development either. It has been grow ing steadily for a number of years.
 It is now ten years since the popular demand that Uncle Sam do something to help out of the mud led to the es- tablishment of an office of public road inquiries in the United States depart ment of agriculture. The work of this office was intended to be purely edUca- tiCnal in character. It was to collect and disseminate practical information concerning the roads of the country and means and methods for their im- prcvement.

THE COWBOYS HOME
And Other Douglas Buildings Destroyed
 By Fire.

Douglas has had another fire and among the buildings burned was the Cowboys Home saloon, in which Ranger W. W. Webb a few days ago shot and killed Lon Bass. The Inter- national of Friday says:
 The Copper Belt theater. Cowboy 5 Home saloon and a restaurant, form erly known as the Fashion saloon, ad- Joining the theater, were completely destroyed by fire this morning.
 As far as can be ascertained the fire was the outcome of a quarrel between a Mexican prostitute and her lover, who lived in a back room of the Cow boys Home. During the quarrel the woman threw a lighted lamp at the man. It struck the wall, broke and set the place on fire. The house being a light frame structure. lined with cloth and papered, the fire spread with great rapidity to a small shack adjoin- ing and the Copper Belt theater and q building adjoining, occupied as a res taurant were soon in flames.
 The Cowboys Home was owned by a man named Coats. It and all the con- tents were a total loss.
