The air is full of talk about good
roads, writes T. f. Richey. in The
Epitomist. 1t is good roads, good
roads, everywhere you go. But isn't
it about time something practical was
coming to pass? All talk with 10 re-
suits amount TO nothing, so let us get
down to the root OF the matter How
are we to really have good roads? !?
Well, / have seen many plans tested,
but this is the best OF all; Make good
deep bitches Oh each side OF the road
to carry off all water. In digging the
bitches throw all dirt into the road
and add enough from other sources to
elevate the roadbed to good height
above the bitches. The roadbed should
be eighteen feet wide, and should be
highest N the centre and sloping
slightly each way so as to drain all
water into the bitches. Cut down the
hill and fill up the hollows AS a rail-
road company had rather pull train
four miles up a steep grade so it is a
vast deal better to observe this rule
for wagon roads. And now to make
the roads permanently good gravel
them good. Better macadamize them
if at all practical But at least gravel,
and that with thoroughly good gravel.
If parts need tiling be sure to tile them
and do this properly. Let every hours
work be well done. There is vastly
more truth than poetry IN the old
adage that what is worth doing at all
is worth being well done" Fill in all
small ruts when they first appear. 1t
is much easier done then than when a
foot deep. Besides, 1t might save a
wagon or buggy wheel from being
broken or horse from being crippled
1t might even save a human beings
limb or even his life

| was reading the other day an article
by a well-known New York physical
culturist who undertook to show how
he had lived fifteen days on eighty
four cents. He put down crushed oats
at three cents pound. Eight cents is
the correct figure if you want oats that
have any nourishment in them. He
mentioned watercress at five cents a
bunch. Well, one bunch lasts my hus-
band two meals. 1t would look pretty
thin strung out over fifteen days. He
charges for three pounds of rice fif-
teen cents. 1t costs eleven cents a
pound if you want good rice. For ten
apples he allows ten cents. Must be
queer apples. For six Swede turnips
he puts down six cents. The grocers
have been charging six cents for one

men with figures like these. They

Building Roads Right.

Albert Lewis, of Bear Greek, Pa,
who makes his winter home in st.
Augustine, Fla, has set an example
in road Improvement which may be
followed adyantageously in one degree
and another in many parts of the
country. Mr.. Lewis likes to drive.
When he came to ST. Augustine. ac-
cording to a dispatch from that city,
he found such poor facilities for his
favorite sport that he bought about
1000 acres Of land at Moultrie Point,
built a fine drive to his property, and
is now building public roads in the
neighborhood of his own drive. At
his own expense and using his own
improved road machinery, he is re-
building the Moultrie road. and has
planted along a drive of about live
miles cabbage palm trees. He has

Among the men whose names will
live as long as civilization exists is
that of John L. Macadam, the road
builder. Not only has his name be-
come part of the English language,
but the kind of road which he built
has been adopted by all civilized ma
tons. The ancient Romans built
stone roads, but they were different
from and vastly more expensive than
the macadam roads of modern times.
They built a substantial foundation of
rock, sometimes several feet in depth,
and then covered it with a pavement
of large, fiat stones. This kind of road
will Ontlast any other. Indeed, some
parts of the Appian Way, the building
Of which was begun three centuries
before Christ, are still in use and in
good repair. 1t remained for John L.
Macadam. modern Englishman, to
prove that the great expenditure of
time and money required in tie build
ing of the old Roman roads was large
ly wasted. He demonstrated that a
smooth. hard, enduring road could be
built of crushed stone a few inches in
depth. properly spread and compacted
on a foundation of earth.

Importance 70 Rural districts.

Martin Dodge, Director of Public
Road Inquiries in the Federal Depart
ment of Agriculture, recently made an
address, in which he dwelt upon the
Importance of roads TO the rural dis
tricts. He spoke Of the concentration
of population and wealth in cities, in
virtue of an economic law which can
not be resisted. This is hard on the
country communities, but something
may be done to Offset it. Cheap trans
portation is profitable alike to city and
country. But in the country the We
hicle propelled by animal power over
an ordinary road is about as expensive
as it was 100 years ago, costing ten
cents a mile for passengers and twen-
ty-hye cents ton for freight. But
by the concentration of wealth in the
towns the country is deprived of the
means of making the roads as good as
they should be. New boards of trade
and chambers of commerce in the cit
les are Deginning to declare that they
are willing to contribute to a general
fund for the purpose Of improving the
highways of the country, no part of
it to be used in the cities, Mr.. Dodge
also spoke with approval of national
aid to road building.

The Michigan physician who puts
the annual money loss to the United
States from typhoid fever at $5O,0OO,-
600 is far from setting the full truth.
He reaches his estimate by assuming
$1,000 as the average value of the lives
sacrificed and he omits all account of
the money spent in the care of non
fatal cases. The real value of the
lives lost-s0 far as such value can be
expressed in money-might more
properly be rated at $4,000; and at
least $11 on the average might be
spent on victims who recover. On this
caluclation, assuming that the Michi-
gan physician is correct in his number
of cases. the annual loss to the country
from typhoid is nearly 100000, 600.

Frank Clawson. is the name of a
singular fiddler, of Atlanta, who is
without hands. Many years ago he
was caught in a blizzard and his arms
frozen so badly that both hands were
amputated at the wrists. For a long
time the violin was silent and he sup
posed that his fiddling days were over.
He decided, however. to experiment,
and being a mechanical genius, he
made contrivance of heavy wire
which would enable him to WELD the
bow. The lingering was more difficult,
but by long practice he trained the
stump Of his left hand to make the
necessary shifts from one string to
another and the varying positions.
With the violin held in place BY his
chin and knees and with the help OF
his fingerless arms, Clawson manages
to play his old-time selections with
nearly as much skill as he formerly
did.

Says the Philadelphia Ledger: Eng
lishmen, at least the more progressive
among them, are finally awakening to
the absufdity Of the old law which es.
tablishes what are known as "an-
cient lights" Under this law win.
dows which have been in existence for
nineteen years or more cannot be de-
prived of light by the construction of
neighboring buildings without due
compensation having been made to the
owner. In other words, an owner of
land cannot erect a building which
will shut in any of the windows of
neighboring buildings, providing the
latter have been in existence for nine
teen or more years. without making
himself liable to extensive damages.
Moreover, the damaged owner can
prevent the erection Of any such
building which will take away his
light if he wishes to do so. The light,
by virtue Of the time he has enjoyed
it, has become a part of his property.
Efforts have been made to have this
relic of past ages repealed. 1t is this
more than anything else that has pre-
vented the erection Of high buildings
