THE BROWNLOW BILL.
1t Advocates the Kind of "Paternal.
ism Which Will Make Our
Country Prosperous.

Some very worthy people with ire
proachable intentions profess alarm at
the purposes and provisions of the
Brownlow good roads bill because it
savors of paternalism. To hear them
expatiate on that dread evil with which
the country is threatened by this bill
one with humorous susceptibilities and
a logical sense cannot fail to be amused.
What is this awful boyle man thus in
voked to brighten people into an un-
reasoning apprehension just as children
are made tractable after dark by weird
and supernatural suggestion?
Paternalism is the exercise in gov

But it was not to be. The tide was now
setting seward at great pace.
Struggle as l would, I soon realized
that it was impossible to reach the
pier-head: SO ceased swimming and
turning on my back, let the current
drift me, feet foremost, towards the
yacht which I had just left, padding
meanwhile with my hands, that |
might keep my body on an even keel.
AS neared the yacht raised my head
little and squinted across my chest
to my toes, to make sure that should
not be carried past her. In doing so
l caught glimpse of another small
vessel that lay some quarter of mile
out to sea and in direct line of the
current. 1t was no doubt the very boat
on which the crime was to be commit
ted. With the tide in my favor il
would not be difficult to reach her, so
l turned on my chest again, and pass
ing under the yachts counter, l struck
out boldly for the farther craft.

quite exhausted, and when some one

Hidden Water Supply.

DEMONSTRATION of a neglected spring
or rivulet may bring to light valuable
supply of water for gardening or domes-
tic purposes. A surprising quantity is
often obtainable by installing ram at
some seemingly Insignificant source. A
ram is cheap, because the first expense
is the last, there being no cost of main
tenance, and it is satisfactory, because
the ram requires no attention. Once
started it takes entire care CT itself

BIBLE AS BOOKMAKER.
The Good Book Has Been the Source
OF Inspiration for Many Vol
umes of Literature,


there is no end. Almost as soon as any,
where there has appeared literature on
any subject, the commentators have
arisen to connote or amend the work of
their predecessors. A Plato has his crit
lcal Aristotle, who builds upon yet revises
his philosophy; Shakespeare is fol-
lowed by an innumerable train of Bacon
Ian or non-Baconian critics; Emmanuel
Rants great thoughts have proved
germinal Of endless post-Kantian phil
osophles. So it goes, says the New York
observer. Books make books, libraries
add to Libraries, literatures develop lit
eratures. Even when books are burned
they are not wholly lost. Ar Alexan-
drlan library may go up in flames, but
to-day there are thousands of libraries
greater in size and value than the
scorched or scattered tones of the IA
nous Egyptian bookhouse.
The greatest bookmaker is the Bible.
NO book has made for one thing land it
is, after all, the least thing) so many
other books as has that great volume of
inspired revelation. The Bible is most
prolific producer Of Gteratures. 1t has
made them by the wholesale and is doing
so still. But what is far more significant
for thought and lite, there is no book
that makes such good books as the
Bible. There is no such reading any,
where as in the Bible itself, and the best
literatures of the world to-day are those
which have directly or indirectly been
inspired by, or which quote in large, ap-
preciative measure from, the Bible.
But while there is no volume in the
world which can begin to compare with
the Scriptures, both as regards the guam
tlty and the quality of the literatures
which the book of books has inspired
in lesser degree few notable produc-
tions of the centuries have also proved
to be bookmakers on a large scale. Au-
CUISINES writings have made much of
modern thought and expression Angus
tinlan; Calvin has Calvinized much of
the teachings of all the time since CAL
win; Shakespeare has set many brain
to thinking on the problems of life and
probably also many tongue wagging;
Milton has inspired the muse of many a
lesser poet since. Every language has
its creative classics, which have given
tone and temper to long series of writ
ings succeeding them. A great book is
like banyan tree, sending out on every
side its lesser shoots, it's reduplicating
stems. The larger part of the books cur
rent in any one period are second-class,
third-class or fourth-rate books, which
are the progeny of the few really great
works of the ages. 1t Is we'll that it is
so, for the average reader, with only a
limited amount of brain development,
is capable Of understanding only the
dilution or simple restatement of the
profounder. basic works of the master
minds in philosophy, science or liter
allure. The pabulum furnished by the
real classics of literature is too con-
densed for the digestive apparatus of
the common reader The capsule does
not suit the ordinary man, who must
have literary provender in the form of
thin bouillon.

FOREST RESERVES IN MAINE.
Private Ownership of Tracts IL Wig
Orously Opposed by Local
Hunters.

Maine and New Hampshire GO not yet
suffer from the tendency of the times
among millionaires to purchase the
great forest tracts and set them apart
for their private uses. However much
this may be so in the Adirondacks, and
however much it may be becoming SO in
western Massachusetts, and Vermont,
the two eastern states have thus far es-
capped, says the Boston Advertiser And
the huntsmen and woodmen, who feel
that they have an inalienable right in a
primitive forest which holds good above
legal title, have reasons to be elated.
This experiment of Marshall Jewell,
Gen. Grants postmaster general, in
leasing 100000 acre forest lot in The
Maine woods has never been repeated.
For time he and his associates made
their reserve close against all poachers,
and they were the only ones who we're
allowed a free hunt in the wilds. No
matter how big the game might be or
how tempting the chase might prove,
even the Maine guides who had roamed
without restriction through the great
woods were forbidden to enter. This
stirred up hostile feelings throughout
the state, and eventually when the pro-
moter died the vast tract again became
the hunting ground for Maine people
themselves.
Since then both state and individuals
have Zealously guarded their interests
against any syndicate which would try
to repeat this experiment. Hunting and
fishing clubs may control exclusively
some of the ponds and smaller lakes in
the pine region, but they have found it
inexpedisnt to deny others the hunting
privileges which they have themselves
enjoyed. The same situation has been
true in the main in New Hampshire, the
exception being in the case of the Corbin
park, which embraces parts of two or
three townships where there were, once
villages and farms. But this is really
an animal reserve, in which every cit
izen feels pride and interest, because
hunting is entirely secondary, the aim
of the park being to keep from EXTERN
ination some animal species which
would not survive without protection.
