Road Improvement In Canada.

The twelfth annual report on high
way improvement in the province of
Ontario. Canada, which has recently
been submitted to the Legislature,
shows substantial and encouraging re-
suits accomplished during the past
year. The total expenditure on the
country road system, which has been
adopted by fourteen counties. amounts
to date to $1.137. 1854. Of which the pro-
vincial government has paid 1896. 219.
The systems established in these coun-
ties comprise about 1850 miles of high
way. or about II per cent Of the total
mileage. If the remaining counties
should avail themselves Of the provi-
sions Of theact granting governmental
aid and establish systems In the same
proportion to their total mileage II
would give the province eventually
about 5000 miles Of improved high
ways.

IMPROVED ROAD MOVEMENT
Iinportanes said to BE Recognised BY
Taxpayers.


Taxpayers.
One OF the drawbacks to the prog
fess OF rural Development is bad
roads. This fact II becoming generally
recognized, and in nearly every state in
the Union there is manifested a tend
ency to remedy this evil by state appro
priations for the establishment Of good
public highways. says the Architects
and Builders Journal. Among no class
OF people is the need Of good roads
realized better than by the farmers and
others engaged In agricultural pursuits
Until within recent years these same
people opposed the idea of the state
issuing bonds to raise money for this
purpose, for by q false conception Of
economy they reasoned that the cost OF
modern improved highways would
mean an increase Of taxes.
Since, however, they have had prac.
teal demonstrations of the advantages
Of good roads by the saving they afford
ia time and the wear and tear of horses
and vehicles. no class of people Is more
enthusiastic in their advocacy. 1t is
not the farmer alone who Is. benefited
by the building Of good roads. Others
who for business or pleasure find II
necessary to travel by public highways
from city to city or from town to town
appreciate the advantage of smooth,
solid roadbed. Like the railroad, these
viaducts are an incentive to develop
ment, and it is demonstrable that wher-
ever good roads have been established
that section has developed in material
prosperity and the value of property has
enhanced. This is particularly true Of
the suburbs OF large cities.
Improved roads have proved them
selves to be an attractive incentive to
urbanites to purchase lots and erect
dwellings. Modern demands in this re-
spect. have enlisted the attention of
road engineers who have devoted their
thought and skill In the construction of
these highways, and they are built
from scientific plans instead Of by the
haphazard system which formerly pre-
vailed and which was invariably at
tended by unsatisfactory results. The
introduction of improved macadam and
bitulithic paving has done much to
popularize modern roads. Properly laid.
they are durable and satisfactory. Eco
nomically considered. their cost is mon
eyswell invested. as the relative relief
from wear and tear, the facilitation of
travel and the benefit resulting to prox.
innate property more than compensate
for the original outlay.

Japanese New Year Cakes.

An annual event in Japan is the
making of the New Years cake, which
every family must have if good luck
is to follow it during the ensuing year.
This cake is made of a peculiar variety
of rice, boiled and pounded in a great
wooden mortar until it is of the con-
sistency Of dough. Although the pure
white dough is often colored yellow
or pink, the shape of the cake is al
ways the same-that of the sacred mir
ror, one of the three sacred symbols of
the Shinto faith. A piece of this cake
is offered to the Shinto deities because

which wooed the sun goddess to come

herself in wrath and thus saved the

Queer Fish.

At first thought the electric chair,
which sends the criminal to his doom,
would seem to be a refinement of in
vention possible only to mans genius.
But the electric eel can benumb a
horse so that it will drown before re-
covering from the shock, and the
fiercest fish is rendered helpless by the
gentlest touch of this creature. Small
wonder these cells flourish in their ma
tive waters and seldom fail to find
food enough and to spare!
At any rate, the gentleman angler
casting his fly upon the ripple is
unique. Surely no animal can match
the rod and line! Yet there is a fish
with long, slender filament dropping
forward from its head, tipped with a
fleshy, wormlike appendage. The fish
lies quietly on the bottom and awaits
a nibble, Soon a minnow makes a
dash for the waving luscious morsel.

When the Nose BIeeds,

When the nose Is bleeding never hold

In any way. This only causes further
rush of blood to the broken tissues In
the nose. The head should be held up
and back, the flow being caught in
handkerchiefs or cloths. One of the
most effective and simple means of
checking nosebleed Is to press on
the upper lip. Near the undersurface
Of the lip runs the artery that supplies
the interior nasal passages where the
ruptures occur. If this is pressed, the
flow of blood is mechanically checked,
thus allowing the blood around the
broken tissues to CONCEAL and seal up
the opening. II merely pressing with
the finger does not succeed, place a

the lip over 1t, holding 1t down tight.

a wish to be present at the postmor-

Several doctors have taken their
leave with a blessing to those around
them. Ashley Coopers last recorded
words are, God bless you, and goodby
to you all!' He had previously said to
his physicians, Bright and Chambers.
Gods will be done; God bless you
both!' adding, You must excuse me,
but l shall take no more medicine"
Benjamin Brodie was heard to mutter,
AFTER all, God is very good" The
saddest of all recorded last words are
probably those of Oliver Goldsmith,
who, when asked by his physician if
his mind was at ease, said, mo, 1t is
not! On the other hand, William
Hunters mind seems to have been full
of bright thoughts at the moment of
death, for he said, "If | could hold a

passed away with one hand in his

Lastly are mentioned the last words of
M1rabeau, which are said to have been
addressed to doctor. He wrote on p

physician, the philosopher Cabanis, the

count, which may be an expanded YER
