An Imnortant Victory.

The friends Of the road Office in the
Department of Agriculture have scored
an important victory in securing in the
Senate an increase Of $4,000 in the
appropriations for road investigations
and experiments, including the build
ing of object lesson roads.
This is National aid on small scale.
But it is Of great Importance from
an educational point Of view. Here
tofore the object lesson work has been
conducted in the following manner:
An application is sent in by some eI-
pertinent station or agricultural college,
or by road officials or public spirited
citizens Of some progressive commun-
ity asking the Government to cooper
ate in the building Of a short stretch
of road. The Government usually fur
nishes nothing more than IN engineer
or an expert to make plans and super
wise the work. Roadmaking machinery
is usually furnished free Of charge by
the manufacturers for the sake of the
advertisement it gives them. The rail
roads also take hand and tranSpOr.
the machinery free. The institution Or
community making the application has
to foot the bills for labor and mate
rialS.
Among the benefits flowing from
such work are Q) that it gives an eN-
cellcnt opportunity to investigate and
test The various local materials; (2) that
it gives the people Of that locality a
lesson in the methods of road building
and in the use of road materials and
machinery, and (3) that the building OF
4 short piece Of road usually leads to
the building of large mileage of i'm
proved road in the vicinity. To have
Uncle Sam come into community and
help build 4 good road, be it ever so
short. seems to arouse great popular
interest and stimulate local effort. Ii
is claimed by those who know most
about the results of the work already
done that in no other direction does
the Government accomplish so much
with so little outlay.

WORDS OF WISDOM.
By Z. J. FREDEEICKs.


The forward look stimulates the for
ward step.
Charm strikes the sight, but merit
wins the heart.
What women sigh for is long life
without old age.
A sunny temper gilds the edges Of
life's blacklist cloud.
II men received everything they pray
for they would soon become too lazy
to get out Of each others way.
If a young man rings true" he Will
not object to the young lady OF his
choice making every inquiry about
him.
If a young girl imagines she can de-
eide for herself as to the kind OF man
she wants to marry, and really KNOWS,
she is one in a million. Just imagine
being a girl apart from one million
other girls, because she knows so
much more.
No man is justified in being mis!ed
by fiattery. 1t matters not how ful-
some the praise that is bestowed upon
a young man. as soon rs he reaches
the privacy Of his room and weighs
himself up honestly, he discovers that
some one has lied about him. And he
also knows that he was not the liar.
AS a rule the unsuccessful men in
the world owe their misfortune to
their unwillingness to subordinate
themselves to existing circumstances.
A man who shrinks from making sac
rilices. wheh sacrifices are necessary.
cannot expect me TO make sacrifices
for him. And however lightly he may
lean oil me, he is asking me to make a
sacrifice

A Forgotten Craft.

1t was probably known to near
ly every Roman citizen how the NOR
tar which cemcnted the stones Of their
buildings was made--just as it Is
known 20 the majority Of people that
the principal ingredient of English
mortar is street scrapings. but the
knowledge being general nobody wrote
il down. and in time, as the Romans
shifted their building upon slaves and
foreigners, the recipe OF their mortar
was lost. So far it has not been dis
covered. though the secret of it would
be immensely valuable, for the cement
cutlasts the very stoncs which il
joins.

MUCH TATTOOED.
4 Filipino's Cuticle Got Him Into
Trouble.

4 Filipino's Cuticle Got Him Into
Trouble.
4 man was taken to constabulary
headquarters yesterday whose body
was an art gallery. His breast, back
and arms had been rendered completely
antinganting by tattoOers, working un-
der the skilful guidance of antingant-
ing priests. He was visiting his Quer-
ida in Manila when arrested.
He was not an unprcposSeSSing ma
tive. but he had too many incriminat-
ing documents worked into his cuticle
to be allowed tp roam about in Il wild
state. so he WAS arrested rs Sus-
piciouS character. He gave his name
as Sylvester Gomez His antingant-
inGs were ahorc suspicion. rs we'll as
above price, and had they been worked
on Il garment. rs is customary. he
would have been dcSr0iled OF it for
curio.
over his heart he ilad worked a con-
vcutional figure ot an altar, with
cross s,lperimposcd. This. lie said, was
an antinganting. On his right breast
was q human heart. inverted. sur
mounted by cross with three letters
above il. When asked what particu-
lar brand Of antinganting this was,
he ~ Sr;nncd the wider. 1t is be-
lievcd that all this fantastic design is
the reminder OF some VOW that he took
during the insurrection. Three more
letters and n cross were tattooed III
the hollow of his back. He said that
these were never known to fail to keep
off diseases, and, indeed, 1t must be
confessed that he seemed to be an ex-
traordinarily healthy animal.
Then there were long disarrange-
ments Of the alphabet across his
breast and all down his arms. They
looked as if somebody had attempted
to write a lot of seditious newspaper
headlines in Tagalog and had run
short of copy paper, and so had used
Gomez for writing tablet. He eX-
planned that these would keep off bull
lets. and they looked as if they would.

The Strongest Soldiers.

From recent medical inquiry into
The physical status of the various
classes OF military it was found that
the low sized, broad chested artillery
mon were the strongest and healthiest
in the service. On the other hand the
tall men of the Guards had the disease
tendencies Of the overgrown, and con-
sumption and other pulmonary trou-
blcs were noticeably common. When
narrow chested, the men Of the Guards
and heavy cavalry very soon broke
down. Indeed, the bulk Of the medical
evidence seemed TO show that the
small well set men-the typical At
kinses-were the ideal soldiers though
not so imposing or martial looking as
the gigantic Guards.

But the opponents Of National aid are
afraid that object lesson roads are
only stepping stone to National aid
Of vastly greater dimensions. and In
this they are probably right. However
that may be. it appears certain that
object lesson road building will be car
ried on next year to larger extent
than ever before. Many applications
are now on file in the Department of
Agriculture, and many more are ex-
pccteQ.
