Personal
and
Otherwise
Tho Preparation of Parchment.

Parchment is the skin OF sheep or
other animals prepared in sheets to
render them fit for being written upon:
The heavier parchment, used for drum
heads, is made from the skins of ass
es, older calves, wolves and goats. All
these are similarly prepared. The
skin, being freed from the hair, is
placed in lime pit to cleanse it from
fat. The pelt is then stretched upon
a frame. care being taken that the sur
face is free from wrinkles. The flesh is
pared or with circular knife, after
which It is moistened, and whiting
spread over it. Then. the workman,
with large pumice Stone, rubs the
skin. He next goes over it with an
iron instrument and rups it carefully
with pumice stone without chalk: FL
nally the skin is gradually dried, tight
ening being occasionally required.

plato's Theology,

1t is difficult to say what idea Plato
had of the Deity. The best scholars
In the world have been trying to settle
the question for centuries without
having reached anything like an agree
melt. But it is clear that he believed
In q supreme power and intelligence,
which he seems to make Synonymous
with wisdom" and goodness"
Whether he considered the Deity to
be personal" or "impersonal' it is
impossible to say. Plato taught the
doctrine of future retributon and .ex-
onerates God from oil responsibility
for physical and moral evil - New

Uniformity in Road sundinq.

1t is one of the encouraging signs OF
the times in connection with the import.
ant matter OF the improvement of Yer
mont's highways, that the leading and
influential newspapers OF the state recog-
nize the vital necessity of a change that
will give the state more authority over
the construction and maintenance OF
highways, ana embrace every opportunity
to urge the enactment OF such progressive
legislation as will bring about the desired
results.
One Of the discouraging features OF the
present situation is to see sections OF
highway on which, through the activity
OF some efficient road commissioner, q
permanent piece of road has been built,
the later Iaxity and ineficiency OF sue
ceeding commissioners has permitted this
piece of road to go to pieces, where only
a little attention and foresight was need
ed to keep it in good condition. This is
q condition that obtains in many towns
and is due to that state OF affairs which
fails to give authority to the state high
way commissions and county supervisors
over roads constructed solely from town
funds.
The time has come when, IL any
htEa1AAG VI RA0kAEHa - " " AlA1G ~ IDN1
building in the various towns, the state
must be invested with full authority
over, Il not the actual appointment Of,
local road commissioners, in order that
systematic road construction and main
tenanoe may be carried on with uniformi-
ty and in accordance With expert aud in
telligent methods.
Under the present method, By which
road building is carried on in the towns
BY 246 local commissioners, many OF
them with q total lack OF knowledge Of
modern highway work and each carrying
out his individual ideas, thousands OF
dollars Of highway funds are wasted an
nually.
Tie state highway department, under
the superintendency Of c. W. Gates, has
demonstrated its efficiency under the sys-
tenn that o prevails. The time has
now come to extend its authority to a
point that viii insure that uniformity in
system Nj methods, which is now lack
ing.-En4s1urg Standard.

The unusual number of protracted
town representative fights this year, some
Of them lasting until Thursday or Friday,
is pretty certain to revive the perennial
subject Of substituting plurality for ma
jority elections Of these officers. The

encourage l~onR-drawn contests. A plu-

Der Of votes on the first ballot were to be
the winner, be might, in q badly divided
field, very easily be a person not wanted
by anything like a majority Of his towns
men. On the other hand, these long
fights generally bring an unsatisfactory
outcome, the final winner frequently hav-
ing less votes than some other candidate
had on a preceding ballot when more
voters participated. The loss Of time and
energy are not WORTH while. We have
long believed that q good solution could
be found in a system whereby, il no cam
didate receives a majority after say two
ballots, q plurality should elect on the
third. This would give the majority
time TO act and to prevent, if it saw at,
the selection Of some Objectionable minor
ity candidate by combining on someone
else. 1t would stop the protracted Free
mans meetings, giving Us the best prom
Use Of q satisfactory outcome. But it has
been found impossible thus far to dis
lodge the majority requirement, and it
will not go down o short Of a battle
