carriages and other vehicles. In former
times gravel was laid over the layer of small
er pebbles, and the whole settled down
now the roads must be handled in that way
every 3 years whether there are hollows or
uneveness in them Or not. These and 9TH
er similar remarks were only intended as
guides in future.
3rd Member for Christiansted's Country
District (SoitSer) said he could agree with
the last honorable Speaker, in FACT he had
make similar remarks some years ago in con-
nection will the prevailing habit every year
to cover the roads far and off with rocks,
all being more or less large rocks Or larger
than necessary or customary very often
tho planter is called back Uver and over to a
particular spot by orders ofthe Road Com
mission. AS regards the drainage, the
trenches on the sides are Being made sleeper
and sleeper, 80 that mlny places where the
road is originally narrow, it becomes still
more narrowed, and carts and Wagons, es-
p%ecially if we bad those from 0lden times,
could scarcely get to pass abreast of each
other for instance at Glynn or Slob. But
it is very desirable that something be done
to rid at least that part Of the community
making and mending roads from tax on
carriages and horses
End Member for Frederiksted Country
District Iupney) said he felt it his duty
to defend the Road Commission; it is o
hard task and heavy labor resting on the
Commission or the Members thereof, and
very little assistance can be obtained; the
discharge of the Road work falls heavily
on planters they have not only to at
fnnd f6 fhn 6ufioo Gf rood nE10or0.
but also to do their own part in the road
work; then again we experience great
difficulty in getting the public and our
own road work done in the course of the year;
when you think that you are done, many
times you have to commence from fresh.
But with oil this, those parties in the conlmu-
nifty who neither take part in that work, nor
have any part of the heavy expenses for
roads repairs, they are those who use and
destroy the roads most. If it is necessary to
gravel off the roads entirely is u thing that
must be decided under the different circum-
stances, but the Road Commission has, in it's
very arduous task, not imposed any thing
beyond what was necessary.

The Way Chinese Court Historians D.
Their Work.

Iheir work.
There are court historians in China,
as there are in other countries, but
there is n striking difference, and it
lies in the fact that the work of the
Chinese court historians does not see
the light until the rcigning dynasty
ONE to an end.
In this way these Celestial historians
have an opportunity to describe most
truthfully the virtues and vices of the
valorous rulers and the real signiti-
canoe of the vents which take place
during their regime. They can write
what they please without fear Of cen
sure, for they know that their WORT.
will not be published as long as the
reigning dynasty lasts.
This has been the rule for more than
1000 years. the first court historian
having been appointed by the impe-
rial house of Han. which reigned from
2OG Il. c. until % a. d.
The duty of these historians is to
write plain accounts of all the events
that occur during their tenure Of Of
flee. At regular intervals their com.
| pleted work is taken from them and is
locked up in an iron safe or vault.
There it remains until the first mem
Der of a new dynasty ascends the
throne.
1t is then given with all the other
histories in the vault to the court
historian. who is then living, and from
the mass Of documents he is expected
to prepare Il truthful history of the
dynasty which has just expired.
