The work of repairing the roads is
in order. All culverts and cutters
should be cleaned out, and all shoul-
ders on the roads should be pared
down so that they shall be below the
travelled portion of the highway. This
will permit of the water running OIL
into the gutter. Gravel roads should
have a little gravel placed on the toe
marks in the centre of the road and
in the ruts. If this is not done at this
season no good will result. All loose
stones should be removed from ma
cadam roads with back of rake, not
the teeth. Loose stones injure the road
as much as any one thing, because they
are driven into the surface and break
the bond. Where the stone is begin
ming to show through. little splnters or
chips Of stone should be applied to
form a cushion. This cushion should
not be more than three-fourths Of an
inch thick. No sprinkling or rolling is
necessary. A ton of splinters will suf-
fee for from 250 to 800 square feet.
An ordinary farm roller weighted
down and run over the road after loose
stones are removed will improve It, 1t

ii will not have the chance to get in
bad condition. He cOngratulates the
selectmen on the fact that the roads
have been so well looked after by them
in accordance with the means at their
disposal. and this fact will greatly aid
in securing to the towns the State aid
they at present enjoy.

NJ. Albert Hans. who has written
history of the French expedition to
Mexico and who is a Frenchman in
spite Of his name. complains that the
United States was to blame for the
defeat of France by Germany and is
responsible for the capitulations of
Metz and Sedan. He argues it out
in this way: If the United States had
sent troops into Mexico Immediately
upon the close of the Civil War she
undoubtedly would have whipped the
French troops there. Had the French
troops been whipped then France
would have realized her military de-
fects and have reformed her system,
so that when war came with Ger
many she would have been able to
hold her own, or she would have been
so chagrined that she would not have
sought war with that power. The
United States neglected to whip
France in Mexico, therefore she is re-
sponsible for her defeats in Europe
No reasoning could be more simple
logical and direct.

DR.. Louis Haupt, Commissioner of
the New York Board of Education, is
quoted in the New York Tribune as
follows: If we caculate on the basis
that there is baby born every fifteen
minutes within the territory of Greater
New York, in this year of our Lord
1908, we are at the root Of the number
of new school buildings that will be
wanted in the year 1909. when these
babies reach school age. That rate
represents ninety-six new babies every
tweny-four hours, or 672 uabies a
week. After allowing for immigration
and emigration. which, it is claimed,
will balance each other, at least twen-
ty-fve per cent. of the babies will
not reach the age of six. The ninety
six would then mean about two full
classes of children daily. fourteen a
week or more than 200 for the year.
Allowing fifty classes to a school, we
shall need fourteen new school build
ings in 1909 for the babies of 1908;
that is something under 10000 children
OF six years, who will need 700 new
teachers for that year. The birth rate
is increasing. Children grow up like
weeds while we sleep, and this goes
on night and day.

An old political Issue Revived.

In the early days Of our national his
tory whether the General Government
should take hand in making internal
improvements became one of the great
nolitical issues. The matter was fought
ont in Congress and in political cam
paigns. and finally settled in the affir-
native. Among the improvements as
cussed the building Of roads was prob
ably the most important Plans were
made for connecting the different parts
of the country by national highways
The National Pike was built from
Cumberland, Md. to the Ohio River,
and then on westward. The plan was
To build to st. Louis, but before that
point was reached the building OF
steam railroads had begun, and the
people lost interest in the road ques-
ton.
In these days when river and harbor
bills are looked upon as a matter OF
course. and national aid to road I'M
movement is considered novel propo-
sition. it is interesting to recall that
the question of road building by the
nation was a great and burning issue
long before river and harbor bills were
ever heard Of 1t is also worth noting
that Presidents were vetolng river ard
harbor bills as unconstitutional long
after national aid to road improvement
had become settled policy.
1t does not seem probable that the
question of constitutionality will ever
be seriously raised against such legis-
lation as that proposed in the Brown
low bill for national aid in the building
of roads. 1t can be defended as strong
Iy as river and harbor legislation under
those clauses of the Constitution which
authorize the Federal Government "to
promote the general welfare and tc
regulate commerce between the
States" But in addition to these i
finds its strongest warrant in the au
thority conferred upon Congress "tC

Hnndl,nr Hot Rlrnts oracefullr.

Untried grace in motion is thing
which seldom fails of applause and ap-
probation. If you doubt this just
watch the crowds which daily line
the subway cuts at those places where
men are setting up the steel work. The
deftness with which the man at the
forge passes red-hot rivets to riveters
on the framework far above him is
what holds the crowds. Seeing the
thing done once creates a desire to see
it done again and again, and you
watch in vain for slip or mishap.
Taking the glowing rivet from the
fire with a pair of long-handled tongs,
the forgeman walks over toward the
riveter's helper. With preliminary
swing, which is in the nature Of tax
ing aim, the forgeman tosses it up to
the helper, who catch it dexterously
in an old nail keg. Sometimes the
man at the forge will throw the rivet
forty feet, but he never misses his aim,
nor did any one Of the crowds who
watch the performance ever see the
helper muir one.-New York Press.

The crinoline, which is threatening
the world from Paris again, had its
origin in woven fabric composed of
hair and linen flax warp, hence the
name. This fabric was first used for
shoes. then for bonnets, the word be-
ing coined in 1880. As this article
was costly, and did not extend the
dress to the desired bulk. light steel
hoops were fitted with tape, upon the
bIrdcage principle. So popular was
the crinoline in 1862 that the rolling
III the steel developed great trade in
Sheffield. and one firm alone averaged
an output of from ten to fifteen tons
a week. Several deaths occurring by
fire through the use of erinoline killed
the fashion, but DR.. Richardson, in his
"Field of Diseases" gives an instance
of a lady escaping from the effects of
being struck by lightning by the hoops
acting as conductors.

AS civilization advances human teeth
are deterioratlng. There appears to
be no doubt about that. The statement
is amply confirmed by dentists and
physicians. Dentistry has reached the
dignity of a scientific trade, and yet it
does not seem to have induced the
preservation or the formation Of bet
ter teeth. One would think that the
dentists would be the last ones to
worry about the deterioration of hu-
man teeth. If there were no decad-
ent or defective teeth the dental chairs
would be vacant. But whether the
apprehension which the dentists pro-
fess to feel over the decline of the
American molar is merely manifesta-
tion of professional zeal or not, the
fact that they agree upon the point is
interesting and significant
