THERE is now pending in Congress
bill introduced by the Hon. Walter p
Brownlow, Of Tennessee, and the Hon.
Jacob II. Gallinger. Senator from New
Hampshire, appropriating S24, 200, 900
as national aid for the building of
wagon roads. This sum is to be dis
tributed to each state according TO its
population, except that no state is
to receive less than $25O,O0O The
states or counties receiving this money
mus add like amount, so that 49,
100000 will be expended in the build
ing of wagon roads.
Colonel Brownlow says that we have
over 100000 miles of the finest rail
way in the world, more miles of rail
way than all of the rest of the
globe put together, yet we have the
poorest wagon roads of any civilized
country. He believes that no one thing
viii do this country so much good as
the building of wagon roads, as pro-
vided for in this bill As these are to
be built in every state of the Union,
they will be especially valuable as an
object lesson. Experience has shown
that wherever good roads exist every
one wants more of them

Pocket FURNACES.

Curious hand furnaces are used il
China during the winter months, chief
~ in the north, when the fire, in place
of being in the house. as we have it, is
carried about the person beneath the
thjckly padded cotton garments or in
the hand. AT times it is placed be-
meath the chair on which one is seated.
This continuance. resembling the, cher
coal pans formerly used before the
days of the pit coal by the Hartford
shire straw plaiters. was first intro
duced to our notice when resting 1T a
village in the Fukien province. when,
before we had investigated the cause,
we noted as place remarkable for the
deformity of its inhabitants, old men
and women with strange swellings pro-
jecting in the most unaccountable
places. Our speculati0ns were, how
ever, speedily set at rest and the mat
ter satisfactorily explained by an old
gentleman, who removed his greatcoat
and disclosed small copper furnace
secured round his waist with a band
and neatly covered with basket work.
This artificial mode of heating the body
is only resorted to in time of extreme
cold. as on ordinary occasions the peo-
pie deem their thick clothing a suffi-
cient protection during winter.-Golden

did you ever notice. said the man
who prides himself on his powers of
observation, that every one uses the
same foot almost every time in step
ping up or down the curb at a street
crossing? Maybe you haven't, but it
is fact just the same. 1t may be the
right foot that is used or it may be the
left, but it is the same one pretty much
all the time
"The movement is made so often that
it becomes a habit of the most tena-
cious kind. BY one of those involun-
tary actions Of the nervous system the
nerves of the eye and the leg and foot
work in dnison. The eye of a person
approaching a crossing gauges tt2e dis
lance to be traversed before the final
step is taken. and the stride is regulat-
ed to bring the favorite foot forward
in time to take it. The same thing hap
pens when the curb on the other side
of the street is reached.
Sometimes especially when one is
walking rapidly or when the street is
crowded, it takes deal of jockeying
TO get the chosen foot into position, but
the rule is seldom broken You needn't
try to find the truth of this principle by
keeping tab on your own steps, for in
so doing your will power will come in
to play and you will use whichever
foot you please Just watch some other
fellow, and you will find out that what
am telling you is a fact. "-Philadel-

Is ''brain fag'' to be regarded as the
distinguishing feature of life in the
twentieth century? Following on this
alarming question comes a list of symp-
toms-pain round the sockets of other
wise healthy eyes," exhaustion follow
ing upon reading, thinking or any busi-

most profound effects. Yet some wom-

carter would use a horse; many men
do so. When the brain is tired, it does
not say so in words. but in symptoms.
Then we grumble and call these symp-

name. This disease is as old as the
hills, and it is on the increase. There
is only one doctor in existence who can
cure it. A brain tagged man l know

ENGLISH AS SPOKEN.


IL Is Heard at Its Best.
The curry where is the prettiest
English spokenY' is answered by a
writer in the London News, and,
strange to say, it is not III England, if
the writer be accepted as an authorita-
tive critic.
1t was the opinion of Sir Morell Mac
kenZie that those who should speak
English most musically We're the in
habitants of Badenoch, Inverness shire,
Scotland. They had the reputation for
centuries of being perfect speakers Of
English: but, the writer says. he must
now go to the glens branching north
ward from the Caledonian canal to find
the language spoken in its purity.
I'm the beautiful glen of Moriston in
particular one has noted the most ex-
quisite speech it seems possible TO i'm
agine There is an almost total abb
sence of dialect and vocal disfigure-
ments. though a quaint. delicately
marked rise and fall of the voice are
very family noticeable. The language
used is extraordinarily pure and free
from alien words, which is attributable
to the fact that the people acquire their
English direct from books and that so
far dialect contaminations have not
penetrated the glen.'
The writer has good word to say
of Celtic pronunciation of English gen.
orally: ''The charm of Irish English is
undeniable 1t has a softness that APP
peals irresistibly to the ear, but I'M
fortunately it is linked with certain
element of dialect which just places it
below perfection"

A Qnnint PennIe,

The heart of Brittany never changes,
but its face is rapidly losing many of
its prominent characteristics with the
leveling influence of the French repub-
lie. 1t is only far out of the beaten
track, now, or on special occasions. like
fetes, that you see universally the cos
tunes and customs of the old Armori-
can peninsula. Only an hours journey
from Quimper, the modernized chief
town of Finistere, and you are among
the Bigoudines, a people whose dress
suggests the Eskimos and Chinese,
whose faces are strongly Mongolian in
type and who in language, customs and
beliefs seem to have no relation with
the rest of France. More and more the
picturesque problem they present is
coming to attract attention. Artists,
students and tourists alike are fasci-
mated by it.-Andre Saglio in Century.

Bfg Noses In Favor.

In Japan the nose is the only feature
which attracts attention. The nose de-
termines the beauty or ugliness OF the
face, according as it is big or small.
This Is probably due to the fact that
difference in noses constitutes about
the only distinction betwee one Japa-
nese face and another. The eyes are
invariably black. the cheek bones high
and the chin receding. In Japan a
lady who has huge proboscis is al
ways a great beauty and reigning
belle. There are a few large noses
among the natives, and lucky is he or
she upon whom nature lavishes one.
In all Japanese pictures representing
the supposedly beautiful woman the
artist invariably improves on nature
by depicting this feature as abnormally
developed.

Every one is familiar with various
spite fences or houses. but it is safe to
say that quite the most costly and

world is the famous Wainhouse tower.

John Edward Wainhouse. was the
owner OF a dyeworks in that valley.
Next to his estate lay that of an Eng

Wainhouse built the tower so that ne
could always overlook his neighbours
grounds. although they lay much high
er than his own. The tower is nearly
800 feet high and cost $4,000 TO build.

Railroad Weeks.

We are glad TO see that the press is
beginning to take up the subject OF rail
road accidents. The Milwaukee Sem
tinel comments editorially upon an ar
ticle in the literary digest, summarizing
facts in regard to recent railroad
wrecks. The total number of accidents
for the past year was 5,2l9, and the
total casualties of passengers and en-
ployees was 3,554 killed and 46, coo in
iured This probably exceeds the total
killed and wounded in our two last
wars,-the Spanish war and the Philip
pine war. The Sentinel says: so
common have these railway horrors be-
come that the announcement in the
daily papers of a fresh one has come to
be regarded as regular stock feature
of current news. In one week, recent
ly, one hundred lives were lost in three
wrecks, ali of which were caused by
negligence on the part of the railroad
companies or employees or by defective
arrangements.
1t is most appalling thing to be CON
sidered by those who are compelled to
use the railways. 1t certainly should
very seriously affect that portion of the
passenger traffic which depends upon
the people who travel for pleasure
There can be little pleasure in under
taking so dangerous thing as jour
ney by rail is in these days.
We hope to see this subject fully
aired, and in such way as to bring
about better condition. If the COM
panies will not reform their service to
make it safer, laws should be passed,
imposing necessary regulations, and
enforced by heavy penalties, and re-
strictions, prohibiting traffic that does
not comply with the law.
