Eoote and the Lawyers.

Being on an excursion into his ma
tive county, Samuel FoOte happened to
meet with a simple minded farmer,
who, having just buried rich rela-
ton. who was an attorney, was full o.
complaints about the great expense OF
country funeral, instancing the
amount he had spent on scarfs, hat
bands, carriages. etc.
"Why," asked Foote. do you mean
to say that you bury your attorneys In
this part of the country?"
ITO be sure" said the puzzled farm
er. "What else should we dor
ooh, we never do that In London"
Really! What, then. do you do with
them?"
"Why, when one happens to die we
lay him out in room by himself over
night, lock the door, open the window,
and in the morning he is gone"
"Exrraordinaryw cried the other in
amazement. "What becomes Of him.
"Ch, that we can't exactly tell" re-
piled Foote solemnly. "All we know
is there's a strong smell Of birthstone
in the rooms the next morning.

Some Curious Weathercocks.

The weui herrork had its origin at
very early date. Marcus Virtruvius
Pollia, a noted Roman architect and
engineer, who was born about 30 b. o.,
In his works calls vane a triton,
probably because In his time 1t had
the form Of triton. The usual form
on towers, castles and secular build
ings was that Of banner, but on &C.
clesiastical buildings it was repre-
sentation Of the male Of the barnyard
fowl. There have been other forms
of vane. The one over st. Peters,
Cornhill. London. is in the shape OF
key; that over st. Mlldreth's church Is
q gilt ship under full sail. The grass
hopper of the Royal Exchange, Lon
don, is the vane that formerly sur
mounted the former exchange The
dragon on the spire If Bow church,
Cheapside, is another celebrated vane.
One Of Mother Shitton's prophecies
was that when the dragon of Bow
church and the grasshopper OF the
Royal Exchange should meet the
streets of London would be deluged
with blood. In what way they should
meet the old dame did not explain, but
1t is known that at one time these two
vanes were side by side in the yarC
of a stonemason in Old Street road,
vet there was no shedding Of blood

Lord Ferrers' Tragic Journey to the

an old document as movable-at one
time stood at its east corner. Ii was
there the ferocious Lord Ferrers was
hanged in 176O for numbering his sery-
ant.
Horace Walpole's words paint the
picture we'll: "He shamed heroes. He
bore the solemnity Of a pompous and
tedious procession of above two hours
from the Tower to Tyburn with as
much tranquility as II he were only
going to his own burial, not to his own
execution" And when one of the ORA
goons of the procession was thrown
from his horse Lord Ferrers expressed
much concern and said, 81 hope there
will be no death today but mine
On went the procession. with mob
about It sufficient to make its progress
slow and laborious Small wonder that
the age of Thackeray. with Thack-
eray's help, set up it's scaffolds within
four high walls. Asking for drink,
Lord Ferrers was refused. for. said
the sheriff, late regulations enjoined
him not to let prisoners drink while
passing from the place Of imprison-
ment to that of execution, great indie
cencies having been committed by the
drunkenness of the criminals In the
hour Of execution.
"And, though" said he, my lord, l

your lordship's rank. yet there Is an

CONGRESS ON GOOD ROADS
Clifton Forge Review.

Clifton Forge Review.
A bill is before Congress for a
law to loan the different States the
money for the improvement of post
roads, the loan to run 25 years,
without interest, payable one TWEEN
ty-fifth part annually.
The Constitution confers upon
Congress the power to establish
post roads and since the establish
ment of rural free delivery, good
roads wherever the mail is carried
are necessity The proposed law
if enacted, would result in extern
sive road Improvements with a low
rate of local taxation, since but
one twenty-ffth of the cost would
be required each year, without in
terest, which would be a great i'm
provement over the present meth.
DDS. The work would be done at q
much earlier date and our highways
become things OF beauty and pleas
ure as well as utility at all times
and seasons.
Where the Constitution confers
upon Congress any power, as in the
matter of establishing post roads
it presupposes the duty and respon-
sibility of the people exercising that
power, whenever the necessity for
it arrives. If the lawmakers choose
to perform this work. indirectly by
leaning the money to the States to
be used for the construction of post
roads, to be used as well, for gen.
eral purposes, they have the author
ity to do so, and since the people
would be greatly benefited at les;
expense than under the present
system, the bill ought to meet with
approval,
