GOOD ROADS.

Appropos to the recent good roads
agitation is a recent article written
by Franklin Matthews and publish
ed in this months "Outing." In a
terse manner, this article calls atten-
ton to the fact that the most diff
cult work connected with the move
ment was to convince those who
would be benefited by good roads
that it was to their advantage to
have them. In the start, the average
farmer was reluctant to pay for the
work of burying a lot of stone in a
public road and then dress it so that
thousands besides himself could drive
over the same. Now that the burden
has been equitably distributed, every

The people of this country are very
nearly tired Of listening to the at
tacks that William Jennings Bryan
has lately been making upon every
one whose name is mentioned in con-
ncction with the Presidential nomi-
nation with the exception of himself
Twice defeated, it is time that he
step aside and let some one else as
sumo the charge OF leadership. The
democrats Of this country or at least
majority of them, both in 1896 and
in 1900, bestowed upon Mr.. Bryan
the greatest honor that they could
confer on any human being. Now
that it is apparent to him that some
one else is to step into his place, he
heaps on the head of every leader the
vilest vituperation that his flow of
language can convey.
His latest explosion is against
Judge Alton B. Parker, who is now
recognized as being one the promi-
nent candidates for the democratic
nomination. When Mr.. Bryan was
a candidate Judge Parker supported
him openly and sincerely, one of the
times being on the ticket when the
former was defeated. AS a reward
for this fidelity, Mr.. Bryan in a
recent letter scores the New York
Judges candidacy in the most I'M
sparing manner. In speaking of the
convention of protest, which is to be
held i'll New York on June 20, Mr..
Bryan says that he understands that
this is not to question the regularity
OF the Albany convention, "But mere
ly to enter a protest on behalf of a
large number of New York voters,
who believe in honesty in policy, and
are opposed to the burglarous
methods which are now being em-
ployed to force upon the party a
speeches. candidate and a meaning
less platform. The argument made
i'll favor of Judge Parker is not that
he is IN any way fitted for the posi-
ton because his fitness cannot
be possibly ascertaincd without
Il knowledge of his view OH public
questions. The argument made by
his friends is that he can win, and
they base their belief on the fact that
ne never said anything in connection
with psnding questionable has no
record that can be used against him.
Ills virtues are purely negative; and
his friends think it sufficient that the
democrats send him forth as a candi-
date with the endorsement we know
nothing against him. @** When it
is shown, rs believe it can be shown,
that Il non-committed candidate
would not be popular with the
voters even i'll New York, the Parker
candidacy will lose its only prop. |
mistake the loyalty and earnestness
of the democrats who were true to
the ticket of 1896, when loyalty
meant abuse and ostracism, if they
are really in favor of a silent candi-
date whose most conspicuous sup
porters have in recent years been
more familiar with republican head
quarters than with democratic head
quarters"

THE SECRET OF GENEROSITY.

.
"Would there be so many marriage
wrecks if the secret of generosity were
learned" asks Lille Hamilton French
aptly in the July Delineator. This author,
who, of course, writes her thoughtful ar
ticles on "The Joy of Living" from the
woman's standpoint, goes on to tell of
two women who found their husbands
exacting, and of the happy results
brought about by the generous yielding
of the wife i'll one of these cases. The
writer concludes: ''But the generous
are always imposed upon. They end by
being robbed the little soul exclaims
People drain us when we give too much,
and then when they have all they want
they throw us over The little soul can
never understand that the generous
soul is never robbed. 1t is like the sun
itSelf-it radiates. Its business is to add
to life the ioy of its cheer"

SALT FOR NEWBORN BABES.
Many Mothers Believe IT. Well tc
Sprinkle the Infants.

The remarkable custom of sailing
newborn babies is SIN prcciiccd in
certain parts of Europe and Asia.
The method varies With the diGHcrina
nationalities of the people using it,
The Armenians Of Russia cover the
entire skin of the infant with very
fine salt. This is left on the baby for
three hours or moro, and then washed
)fi with warm water. A mountain
-ribe in Asia Minor Is even more
mercless than the Armenians. They
keep their newborn babies covered
With salt for twenty -four bOurs. TIE
modern Greeks sprinkle their babies
with salt; and even in some parts Of
Germany salt Is still used on a Child

this will give children health and
.trcngth and keep evil spirits away
from them.
