In the history of the rise and fall Of
nations we read that in the days of
prosperity, peace and plenty the peo-
pie enjoyed the advantages of good and
well kept highways, enabling the in
habitants to pass from place to place
in comfort and with speed, while in the
days when disaster swept over the land
the roads were allowed to fall into
neglect and become part Of the general
picture Of ruin and decay. Such is the
natural result of the two conditions
outlined-good and well cared for
roadways denote the general prosper
ity and progressive spirit Of a COM
munity Of comfort-leving human beings
while the rude, Ill kept and dangerous
highways-relics Of a barbarous age
Of a community whose natural instinct
is to wallow through life anyhow.
There Is in the movement towards
e betterment of the highways of the
country, both in the United States
and Canada, that is just now being
gress an awakening to the necessity Of
a long-needed change for the public
good that is p~ratsewerthy in the high
est sense. THE greatest good to the
greatest number" Is a timely maxim,
and the National Good Roads congress
is doing that which will certainly bene-
fit everybody.
New York state alone has made an
appropriation Of $780, ee,O for the
construction Of good roads and the
third meeting Of the national congress
will be held at Niagara Falls in that
state as a mark of approval, and it
is a pleasure to note that there is likely
to be a ready response to the invita-
tons to be present that have been sent

Lawyers have a peculiar system of
abbreviation, such words as trustees,
executors being cut down to trees,
exors, and admors. This practise led
to an amusing slip on the part of a
solicitor who, somewhat late in life,
abandoned his profession and entered
the church. A few Sundays after his
ordination he startled his congrega-
