valley, where they had to pay at every
gate, and go along the old free road
above the hills.
And, thirdly, the pilgrimage to the
tomb of st. Thomas at Canterbury,
which sprang up about 700 years ago,
powerfully helped the survival of the
road. Winchester was beginning to
fall into decay when this pilgrimage
arose, and Canterbury was no longer
a very important town, but when thou
sands Of men had occasion to go from
the west Of England to Canterbury on
a pilgrimage Winchester became the
natural meeting place, and the road
from Winchester to Canterbury once
again grew in Importance. Churches
and villages sprang up along it, tradl-
tons and legends began to cling to it,

places where the road vas almost or
entirely lost. The main cause of this
was cultivation. AS the population
grew denser it became necessary to
pillow up the poorer land high up on
the hillside, and as these old roads
were not nietaled in any way the
moment their surface was plowed up
no trace of the road could possibly re-
main. Another cause was the forma-
ton of the great parks which rich men
began to inclose and to wall around
about $50 years ago and later. If Il
rich man took Il fancy to a bit of
ground which used to be common and
through which the old road went he
would put a wall round it and turn it
into a park and divert the right of
way by a special act of parliament
round his new property. There are
examples of this all along the old road
as, for instance, at Lord Stanhope's
park at Chevening, ut the Leveson-
Covers place at Titsey, at Lord Ger
ards park at Eastwell and many other
places.
The old road would also be lost over
marshy ground, and now and then,
but very rarely, modern buildings
would appear or it, and then, Of
course, it was impossible to track It
out unless n could get a record Of
what the ground was like before the
buildings were erected.-London Black

A Great Earthquake.

Probably few people are aware that
the greatest earthquake our country
has experienced since its settlement
was the now almost forgotten earth
quake Of New Madrid, the first ire
mors Of which took place on Dec. 10,
1911. Strange is that trait of human
nature by which even the most appall-
ing of natures manifestations slip
rapidly from the memory, so that only
a hundred years later little but tradi-
ton remains of the earthquake which
changed the confguratlon of extern
slve areas of the Mississippi valley,
raising some portions, depressing 9th
ers, shifting the course of streams and
draining old swamps at n point and
forming new lakes at others. All this
and more, however, took place during
the successive vibrations which shook
the New Madrid region almost con-
t%lnuously for a period of many months
in 1911 and 1S12.-M. L. Fuller In Pop
ular Science Monthly.

Classical and Romantic Music,

Classical composers are those Of the
first rank who have developed music
to the highest pitch of perfection on its
formal side, and, in obedience to gen.
orally accepted laws, preferring aesthet-
ic beauty, pure and simple, over emo
tional content, refusing to sacrifice
form to characteristic expression. Ro-
mantle composers are those who have
sought their ideals in other regions and
striven to give expression to them, ir-
respective of the restrictions and limi-
tations of form and the conventions Of
law-composers with whom, in brief,
content outweighs manner.-"How to
Listen to Music" Krehbiel.

mands Tact and Ability.
Business men often fail because they
do not know how to handle men. They
can do their W work all right, but
they are failures when 1t comes to III
recting others. They lack tact, diplo-
macy.
Many men antagonlze others; they
lack patience, lose temper, fly to pieces
we little things. And no man Is a
good leader who cannot control him
self.
A great man. business men seem to
think that 1t takes a deal Of driving,
scolding, fault finding, to get the best
out of others. 1t Is, however, just the
opposite. Employees never give up
their best in response to forcing meth
DDS.
| know a young man who promises
TO be Il leader in his line who Is as
quiet and gentlemanly in his methods
as a modest woman. He never raises
his voice, never gets angry. When an
employee needs correcting, instead of
scolding or nagging he sits right down
and shows him or her just how to do
the thing. He tries to help them out of
their difficulty, not to confuse them.
He does not need to scold, because ey-
erybody respects him, admlres him
and knows that he is always trying to
do the fair thing, to give a square deal,
that he wants only what Is just right
and there is nothing arbitrary in his
methods.
The result is he does not need to
storm around his establishment and
use abusive, profane language. He
knows there Is a stronger force, a bet
ter way than that. The result Is that
he has perfect discipline.
Not one would think of taking advan-
tage of him or trying to deceive him,
because he is so kind, square, true.
/ know another man in business
neal by him who adopts just the oppo-
site method. He storms and sweafs,
scolds, nags, goes through his estab-
lishment like a bull through a china
shop, making everybody feel mean and
disagreeable. Nobody respects him. He
rules by brute force, keeping every
body cowed and afraid of him. They
obey him and let him impose upon
them in order to avoid a scene or for
fear they will lose their positions. If
an office boy or stenographer makes a
little mistake he will go all to pieces,
fly into a rage and make it very un-
comfortable for everybody about him.
People waiting in the outer office
often hear loud talking and most abu-
sive language in his private office. But
he is not nearly as successful as his
quiet, unobtrusive neighbor.
He neve thinks of recognizing one
Of his employees on the street.
The other man always lifts his hat
to the humblest girl in his employ and
has a pleasant smile for everybody, be-
cause he feels an interest in every
body and they all love him.-Success.

THADDEUS
His Sense of Humor and His Unosten-
tstious Charity.

HIS Sense of HumOr and HIS Un0sten-
~rstious Charity.
Many a joke is credited to Thaddeus
Stevens, who led the Republicans in
congress during the civil war and the
troublous times after.
One of the very keenest of his jests,
which is undoubtedly authentic, is so
commonplace in sound that one might
easily be forgiven for failing to take
In its meaning. In his last days David
Reese and John Chauncey, two EN-
ployees of the house of representatives,
used to carry him in a large armchair
from his lodgings across the public
grounds, up the broad stairs Of the
capitol.
"Who," he said to them one day, will
be so good to me and bear me in their
strong arms when you two mighty men
are gomez"
Such a question implied nothing short
Of a sense of intellectual Immortality.
When he had taken to his bed for the
last time a visitor told him he was look
ing well.
"Oh, John" was the quick reply, at
is not my appearance, but my disap-
pearance, that troubles me-"
One day a member of the house Of
representatives, who was noted for his
uncertain course on all questions and
who confessed that he never investigat-
ed a point under discussion without
finding himself a neutral. asked for
leave of absence.
"Mr. Speaker" said Stevens, II do
not rise to object, but to suggest that
the honorable member need not ask
this favor, for he can easily pair off
with himselfv'
One anecdote always remembered in
connection with Stevens illustrates his
transformations charity. A beggar wo-
man met him n morning as he was
limping to the house.
"Oh. sir" she said. 81 have just lost
all the meney l had in the world!'
"And how much was thatT"
ooh, sir, 1t vas 10 cents"
you don't say so" he replied, put
ting a FIVE dollar bill in her hand. And
how wonderful it Is that 1 should have
found what you lost" Philadelphia

Preserving Leather.

Leather goods, If their appearance is
to be preserved, should not be kept in
places that aSe too dry, as the heat will
cause the leather to crack. Nor in
damp places that will make it moldy.
To freshen leather chair seats, travel
ing bags, book covers, ETC., that have
become shabby or spotted, rub them
with the well beaten white of an egg.
Sole leather bags are best cleaned by
using ordinary russell shoe polish,
cleaning them in the same way that
shoes are cleaned.

A PREHISTORIC ROAD
THE OLDEST MEMORIAL OF HUMAN
ACTION IN ENGLAND.
Older by Far Than the Romans Is
the Ancient NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS.
Highway, which Counts Its Age by
Thousands of Years.

Whtch Counts lus age ny
Thousands of Years.
There runs from Winchester to Can
terbury a prehistoric track which is
probably the Oldest memorial of mems
action in England. 1t is certainly old
er than the Romans-that is, 1t Is GER
tainly 1000 years old, and how much
older it may be than that we have no
way of telling, but we do know that
Winchester and Canterbury must have
been the two great centers of the ma
tional life in the old barbarian times
before the Romans came, and we may
therefore suppose without too much
temerity that this road Is almost CO.
eval with the existence of organized
human life in Great Britain.
Two years ago l explored this road
thoroughly. The whole distance is
about 100 miles, and of that one may
say that antiquarians had discovered,
before my friends and l understood its
thorough exploration, about three-quar-
tiers. OF the remaining quarter some
part was doubtful and the rest I'M
known, but this unknown part did not
make one continuous stretch. 1t was
pieced In, as 1t were, along the length
of the way, a bit here and a bit there.
Thus one would have ten or fifteen
miles along which the old British road
corresponded with the modern high
way; then would come perhaps two
miles of doubtful lane, the history of
which had to be read and the direction
noted before one could be certain that
it was really part of the old road; then
after that would come, say, half a mile
of pure waste heath or marsh or for
est, in which nothing but a most care
full examination, the records of old
laps, the evidence of place names, and
20 forth, helped M to identify the
1rack of the British way; then the
highway would appear again, coincid-
ing with the old trail, and so forth,
long known or obvious bits coming in
between short doubtful or unknown
bits, until after infinite pains we built
up the whole of the original track with
Iue uOuDllul tNCtptlOH VI IL lt" nun
dred yards.
1t may interest my readers to know
what causes chiefly preserved this
road and what have tended to its oblit-
Grafton.
The causes which preserved it We're
three. In the first place, it ran for the
main part along the chalk hills which
are known as the North downs, just
above the level Of cultivation, and
chalk is an excellent preventative for
a road of this kind. 1t takes the i'm
preston of passing traffic, the weight
of which makes a sort of platform
along the hillside. 1t Is not easy to
cultivate, and people do not build upon
its heights. Moreover. chalk does not
wash away, so that such a road, once
formed, would remain for centuries.
The second which preserved
the road was the system of turnpike
which was introduced, l think, about
200 years ago and lasted until our W
time. Men naturally tried to avoid the
turnpike il they were on horseback or
If they were drovers, and they would
