The Good Road. Joke.

II the New York-to-Paris automo-
least shown this country and the world
that the American good road Is largely
a thing of Imagination, or at least a
great rarity. The cars all made poor
progress across the country, and posi-
bly, the American car managed TO keep
In the lead because its driver was more
accustomed to the blind trails that pass
as roads in some sections of the coun-
try. 1t may be contended by some that
the slow progress was due to the bad
weather encountered, but that merely
adds prominence to the poor condition
Of the American highways. The beauty
of good road Is that 1t does not
change It's condition as often as the
weather every shower of rain or furry
Of snow does not render it impossible.
America may as we'll acknowledge It's
deficiency In the matter Of roads, us 1t
Is pretty we'll understood, anyway the
thing to do is to try to remedy the diff
ficulty. There is certainly no other
country on the map which makes claims
to anywhere near our progress and re-
Sources which is willing to worry along
with any old trail as public thorough
fare True, the United States is
a new country and time is needed to
perfect an excellent system Of roads,
but certainly American progress in this
direction does not compare favOrably
with our advancement in other ways.
Some very good roads are being con-
structed in different parts Of the coun-
try, but not nearly all Is being done
that could be without oppression or
great inconvenience. Many matters of
considerably less Importance secure
larger appropriations from the govern
ment, both State and National, with
the result that American roads are a
joke in other countries, and source
Of much inconvenience and real loss at
home The farmers are the ones most
directly interested in the good roads
movement, and 1t must be said with
regret that even they do not do their
best to improve the standard. Good
dirt roads may be had at small expense
and for little labor, but we have them
only in places; permanent roads of ma
cadam or gravel are a good investment
to any f1ourishing community, but only
a few of them are being constructed.
If the automobile can advance the
cause Of good roads in the country, as
it doubtless will, it will have proved a
great friend to the farmers, even If 1t
does scare their horses. -Atchison

In the City of pills.

There is one city in the world to-day
which bears an absolutely unique dis
tinction, and that is Detroit-the "City
Of Pills. SO writes J. Olivier Cur
wood in the Technical World Magazine.
This year it is estimated that Detroit
manufacturers will make three-quarters
Of the worlds supply Of pills, or over
5000, 100000 pellets, Of all sizes, shapes
and colors, and intended for almost
every ailment Of human kind. In this
city are made over 1000 different varie-
ties of pills, and If a single seasons
crop was made of some deadly poison
there would be enough to depopulate
the entire globe twice over. To look
at it in anothSk way, if this annual
harvest was strung, like popcorn, the
rope Of pills would. reach three times
around the earth at the equator
To-day America is the greatest pill
consuming nation on earth, for, while
Detroit pills find their way to every
conceivable CORNER of the globe, from
the frozen regions Of the Arctic to the
deepest Businesses of tropical jungles,
not more than cne-third of the total
product leaves this country, the aver
age consumption being something like
sixty pills per capita per year.

THE KoNGo FOREST.
Unfamiliar Animals That Haunt
This Region of Mystery.

Unfamiliar Animals That HaunE
This Region of Mystery.
The mightiest forest of which the
human race has any knowledge to-day
is that Of the Kongo. 1t is a region
of impenetrable mystery concerning
which accounts have been so strange
that until the past few years they
have been deemed incredible. But re-
cent discovery has transformed Scion
tif1c incredulity into a measure Of De-
lief. Thus on the basis of Sir Harry
Johnston's explorations of Uganda
giant ape larger than the gorilla is a
denizen Of this tremendous forest re-
gion. There, too, are animals Of a
quite unfamiliar kind, notably the
okapi. The forest seems to be the re-
sort of the five horned giraffe, tue
talleSt mammal in the world. The
hugest elephants, bearing tremendous
tusks, are there. The largest fish
meandering through the recesses Of
this forest. Lions seem not to pene-
trate into the thick growth of the jun
gle thereabouts. The forest Ieopards
are arboreal, catching monkeys for
their food.
The curiosity Of the mighty forest is
unquestionably the okapi, a large aud
seemingly new mammal, discovered by
Sir Harry Johnston. In his books Of
travel Stanley told of an animal of ass
like appearance existing In the dense
forest which was caught in pits. The
occurrence of anything like a quad
ruped of the equine sort in the thick
ness Of an impenetrable forest seemed
so anomalous that no scientist of stand
ing would credit the possibility; hence
the determination Of Sir Harry John
ston to tigate.-Current Litera-

A MoNoToNOUS LAND.
SameneSs Charactertzes the Great
Island Continent of Australia.

Sameness Characterizes the Great
Island Continent of Australia.
Australia is in itself a monStrous
continent. 1t is as large as the United
States; its 100000 Of people are scat
tered in a narrow fringe along the
streams and shores of the southern and
eastern seaboard. The vast interior
"the dead heart of AuStralia"-a re-
gion as large as the Mississippi Valley,
+ is a trackless, rainless waste of sand
and alkall, while the intervening hills,
the bush and scrub, are scantily Occur
pied by sheep stations and by mining
camps. The vast north of Australia is
in part tropical jungle-in part a
blistering Sahara. The fates denied to
Australia the gift of high mountains,
to catch the snow and hold the water,
hence her rivers are few and precari-
Gus. Hence at too frequent intervals
the great drouth comes and the desert
spreads it's smothering arms, crowding
man and his dependents backward to-
ward the sea. 1t is monotonous couu-
try in It's physical aspects: the forests
on hill, valley, rock and swamp are
all of one pattern, eucalyptus, eucalyp-
tus-the gray trunks of the gum trees
Of many species-as far as the eye can
see. Without mountains and streams
there is little room for variety. It is
mOnotonOuS in its industries-cattle
sheep, horses; its one fine art the
breeding Of the perfect merino sheep.
1t is monotonous in it's towns. One
story, light brown, with implanted roof
of corrugated iron, is the description Of
nine-tenths of the Australian homes.
Corrugated iron means clean rain wa
ter. and Australia can afford to waste
none Of it. 1t Is monotOnous as to pop
ulation. The Englishmen came first to
Australia and they are still holding it
against all Corners. The way is made
rough for immigrants who do not speak
English. The history Of Australia is
monotonous. 1t contains the story of
hard struggles, of bitter sufferings. de-
served and undeserved, of lawless cour.
age and reckless bravery, but the caus-
es served were individual Australians
never had common enemy, and their.
records show no glorious war and no
uprising of common feeling. The
achievements of Australia belong to the
category of Individual deeds Of peace.
With all this the color of Australia
is gray; the land, the towns, the spirit
of her people. Her literature has a
sober touch and this difference In tone
shows itself in its way in the life of
the universities. In America, as in
Browning's verse, 1.-The flower of life Is
red The American student knows
that "the world is his oyster" He
knows that she can get what is com
ing to him." that in proportion to his
talents, his training, his sobriety and
persistency Of purpose, will be his sue
cess in any affair he undertakes.
But though Australia may be gray

to accept presents of money from cas-
ual visitors or strangers. The visitor to
his home who was attracted by the
boys bright face and who wished to
show his approval by offering Bobby
his stray pennies was politely but
firmly told any other kind of present
would be welcomed, but that the boy
was not allowed to take gifts of money.
The parents explained that they wisSed
to keep the innocent boy untainted by
the lust Of money, which he would
only squander on harmful sweetmeats
However, in cases where Bobby rem
dered an actual service he was per-
mitted to accept remuneration when
offered, as his parents reasoned that
the laborer is worthy of his hire
A nice old lady who was a friend of
the family noticed Bobby passing one
day, and, calling him in, asked him to
run down to a nearby store for her.
Bobby executed his commission and re
turned promptly. The old lady was
pleased.
THAT was very nicely done. Bobby,

Story of an Odd Incident In a Dental
Hospital.

Story of an Odd Incident In q Dental
Hospital.
A remarkable incident happened &C.
Gently at a dental hospital A young
woman went here to have five teeth
extracted. The anaesthetic decided upon
by the dental surgeon was ethyl chic
ride, and this was administered by
the usual form of apparatus. An In
dia rubber cap is placed over the pa
tents mouth and nostrils, and con-
nected with it is bag into which a
sealed capsule Of ethyl chloride is In
troduced. By the turning of a screw
from the outside the capsule is broken
and the anaesthetic liberated. The
screw was turned, the patient went off
gradually into the usual condition of
insensibility, five teeth were extracted.
and the patient awakened without feel
ing any part of the operation.
The whole case appeared perfectly
normal. Only when the young woman
had left the room and the apparatus
was being made ready for another pa
tient was it discovered that the cap
sule had by some mischance not been
broken at all. The whole condition of
insensibility had been brought about by
the self hypnotism of the patient. The
idea that an anaesthetic was being adj
ministered was so strong In her mind
that she had passed into insensibility
entirely by hypnotic suggestion.-Bos
ton Traveller.

He times the heart-beats of eternity.
He cradles with his grain the lives Of men;
The sInews and the muscles and the thought
Which guide the court, the camp, the mart the pen.
By him wrought
Upon his plow he leans to turn the sod,
He feels the rushing seasons by him pass
BE rears a nation with that earthly clod
Upholds cycle with that spear of grass
The morning stars sing out to him alone,
The gold OF monday aureoes his head,
Beneath his touch the barrenness OF stone
Becometh bread
Thus vestured by the twilight and the dawn,
The heart Of nature opens to his eyes,
The winds Of heaven In his path have strown
The hidden seeds Of holy mysteries
The spade his scepter and bis throne the plow
He standeth there, too free for posturing,
The royal drops Of sweat upon his brow
Proclaim him king.
