either unless he wants a button sew

Fifty years ago there was some eX-
cuse for bad roads, for our country
was poor. Now it is rich there is no
excuse. A good road is always to be
desired, and is a source of comfort
and convenience to every traveller.
Good roads attract population as we'll
as good schools and churches. Good
roads improve the value of property
so that it is said a farm lying five
miles from market connected by
bad road, is of less value than an
equally good farm connected by a
good road A larger load can be
drawn by one horse over good road
than by two over a bad one. Good
roads encourage the greater exchange
Of products and commodities between
one section and another. Good roads
are of great value to railroads as feec
ers

GIRLS WHO DIE YOUNG.
Many Tobacco Workers Die Before They
Are Twenty-Five.

Il wish you to follow me into my
Office said DR.. Abraham jacob, the
great New York physician, where,
amongst Others, see goodly number
of young girls who work at tobacco
mostly in shops, many at home. The
latter are worse off than the former, for
to them there are no regular hours at all.
To them their cramped living and sleep
ing quarters are also their shops. filed
day and night with tobacco dust and
odor.
'All of these patients are anaemic, sal
low, thin, underweight. They are poorly
paid, poorly nourished, early risers, for
they begin their work al seven, without
appetite. Their breakfast consists gen
orally of what they call cup of coffee,
a roll. or a piece of bread. They take
their luncheon in the half hour or hour
of recess--a sandwich, perhaps in cheap
seasons an egg. Almost every one suf-
fers from catarTh of the throat and ca
tarTh of the bronchial tubes. and the
inhalation Of Tobacco dust, which results
often. in solicitation and pigmentation
of the lungs.
Their sedentary occupation causes Do
struetion of the abdominal and pelv1c
organs. frequently causing irritation OF
the kidneys. Bright's disease Is becom-
ing more common, partly from that
cause. The stomach and digestion suffer
invariably. partly from the same causes,
partly from the insufficient muscular ac-

Where Roosevelt win Hunt.

The March number Of McClure's Mag.
azine has an interesting article on that
part OF South Africa which Mr.. Roose.
Welt viii visit. In describing a railroad
over which Mr.. Roosevelt win travel the
article says;
For distance Of one mile on either
side the tracks along the line Of the rail-
way all game is protected. Winston
Churchill, who was in British East Az
RIGA last spring, rode on the pilot OF the
engine to observe the game The rail-
way leads through a geological paradise
Churchill saw six lions from the train.
Mr.. Prynne, from whom the facts used
in this article were obtained, saw four
on the same journey. A male and fe.
male, pacing side by side, were not three
hundred yards from the passengers The
pair merely turned their heads to look
at the train. At another point in the
panorama he saw female lion stretch
ing like a cat on the red veldt near the
train, and again male on its launches

WILL NOT WE'D PRINCE.
Strange Stories About the Suitor for the
Hand Of Miss Herald.


New ork, March ls.--Aiiss winifred
Herald, the daughter Of the Rev Charles
Herald Of Brooklyn, is not going to
marry the so.called Indian prince who
publicly declared his love for her.
There never was any engagement,
and Winifred has told us that she does
not intend TO marry the man." said Mrs.
Herald. 1--WE are very sorry that any
thing has appeared in the papers about
the matter"
T'Ishi Bhuta Kyawgh Hia, or more
frequently T'Ishi for short, was the cog
nomen under which the prince passed
in Brooklyn, and his usual method of
making friends, so those who have been
looking up his record say, was to join
some church mission suddenly become
a convert TO Christianity, and be taken
into the fold. How he lived was some
what Of a mystery, although he claimed
to have tea plantations in India.
Recently DIR. Herald received replies
to letters he had sent to the United
States consul general at Calcutta ask
ing for the record Of the man. These let
tefs intimated that his name might be
Dewa Tendoop, and that he came of a
family in very moderate circumstances
in the Dargeeling district. They pointed
out that T'Ishi, etc, was the name of
a mountain and not OF man.
Friends of the Heralds assert that
when the letters giving the history of
Dewa were received by DR.. Herald they
were shown to Miss Winifred and that
she told T'Ishi about them. The same
night, SO the story runs, a burglar got
into the Herald home and stole some of
the letters, but didn't get the important
ones.

The eyes we brought with us at birth
do not see 1.-THE of the beauties of
Nature. But with microscope not
much better than this, Leuwenhock, in
1873, frightened the world by saying
that more animals lived in the human
mouth than there were people in Hol-
land With object glasses of higher
power we are said 10 see things magni-
fled 200, 500, 1000 or 1000 diameters,
which only means that different objec-
tives, as they are called, bring our eyes
within one fourth. or one eighth, or one
twelfth, or one fifteenth, or one twenty
fifth of an inch of the object.
And what have these mechanical de-
vices of ours for helping our eyes to
see, not done for the human world So
important TO all life is that living world
about which our native eyes would
never have given us the least informa-
ton, that it is evident no physical in
strument can suffice for man. because he
is so much greater than anything physi-
cal. All eyes made of protoplasm, in
GLIDING the eyes of the anthropoid apes,
belong only to low origins and levels;
but this human fashioned mineral mi
croscope belongs to the Andean heights
of minds
However, we have still other reasons
for dissatisfaction with our eyes. They
see the star Capella as no larger than
bright jewel in lady's necklace,
though we know that because that star
has no proper motion, as astronomers
say. and yet shines so splendidly, in
reality it must be at least a hundred
thousand times larger and hundred
thousand times brighter than our own
sun. But our poor eye can now answer,
You know that do not report the whole
truth to YOU about anything. You
should not truste me so, because, ow-
ing to radical defects in my makeup, /
tell you that man is six feet high is
only six inches when he is d mile off.
And as to the stars, you have had to
make telescope to help me out; but
even with it the fixed stars remain be-
yond me, for j then see them merely as
shining points. 1t is not by me, but by
that greater power than mine in you,
