Pennsylvania has agitated the sub
ject of good roads for a long time.
1t has seen New Jersey, New York
and Massachusetts begin to build
good roads while this state still
struggles over the question of proper
legislation. The legislatuer of two
years ago gave the largest appropri-
alton for food and the most liberal
provision for state aid known in the
history of this reform. The law WAS
too cumbrous for easy working, and
the present legislatureihas simplified
it somewhat and increased the ration
of state aid to local expenditure. By
the amended bill now in the Cover
nor'S hands the state increases its
share of the cost of good roads con
struction from 66 2-3 to SO 1-3 per
centum. The country will pay its
share of the improved roads in its
limits s l-3 per cent. The property
holder fronting on the improved road
is not charged a cent in addition to
his proportion of the township and
county tax. This ought TO stimulate
good road building in this state enor-
mously and Immediately. 1t rests
with the counties and townships to
get this SO l-3 per cent of state aid
and they probably will do 50. The
more advanced sections OF she state
will be the first to take advantage Of
the states liberality, and the con
dition of the public roads Will soon
be test of the relative intelligence
and enterprise of the people living
along them.

A Long Journey On Fool.

w. II. Wilcox, of near Harrisburg
has completed his final preparations
for tramp across the continent on
which he will start on April II, his
fifty-ninth birthday, from City Hall
New York.
Mr.. Wilcox is not taking the .jaunt
on wager, but simply to prove that
simple living and outdoor life are all
that are necessary to obtain splendid
health. He gained some notiriety a
year ago by submitting himself to
the longest fast on record, when he
did without food for sixty days.
His idea was to cure himself of a Sc
we're case of indigestion, which had
reduced him to ii skeleton. lie was
entirely successful, for to-day he is
the picture OF health aud weighs, at
normal, $50 pounds.
Mr., Wilcox firmly believes that
gluttony Kills ten persons to alcohol's
one, and he says that the crying curse
of the day, and especially Of this
country, is over-eating. He has also
given up medicine Of all sorts. and
considers two light meals day,
emitting break fast, sufficient for any
man, no matter what his labor.
Mr.. Wilcox expects to reach san
Francisco before the end Of the wear
and says that it fortune favorS him
he will complete the distance of 3, 300
miles even before that time.
