BEST ROADS IN THE
WORLD.

In France, where they have
the best roads of any country in
the world, the highways are d.
yided into several classes, but all
of them are supervised by the
national government, W h &c h
maintains a burea of roads and
bridges, and support a school for
the education of the engineers
and inspectors who are employed
in The burea. This. method of
building and maintaing roads in
France was started by the first
Napoleon, who appears to have
been the earliest European states
man who clearly saw the econo-
mic advantage of proper high
ways, and who at the same time
had the power to carry out what
he wished. The effect of these
good roads in France has been
wonderful. They have brought
all of the various parts Cf che
country nearer together, they
have made country life less lone
some, and they reduced the cost
of-transportationof country pro-
dhce to a minimum. (; France is,
the only country in Europe
where the Agricultural classes,
are, not dissatisfied, and where
they do not feel that they a har...
der time-than those who labor i'll
other fields.
Civilized nation rave good
|'roads--sage AID unenlightened
countries do not. The highways
of travel are a guage of the prog
ress people have made from
barbarism to civilization.
How are your roads?
The price at which a farm will
sell for is regulated by its near
ness to market, and the qualify
of its noighborhood roads. To
increase the selling price of your
farm, work for good roads.
Good roads will benefit, the
farmer more than he ever dreams
,of. .s..;s
On an average, the farm pro-
ducts of this country must BIZ
hauled by wagon, miles to mar
ket. There is more roof for saw
ing in this wagon haul them in
railroad haul Of one thousand
miles. The railroads Of the
country charge only eight-tenths
of cent for hauling q ton a
mile.

Perpetual Motion.

As the term is generally under
stood, perpetual motion is the motion
of an engine which, without any sup
port or power from without, cannot
only maintain its own motion forever
but can also be applied to drive ma,
chinery, and therefore do external
work. In other words 1t means de-
vice for creating power or energy
without corresponding expenditure
This is absolutely impossible. no mat

The quantity of force in existence be
ing fixed, no new stock can be created,
and therefore, a self-moving machine

physical axiom, the conservation oi
energy, founded on experimental bases
as certain as those which convince
us Of the truth of the laws Of motion,
may be expressed in the negative

Nr and Mrs. P. C. Harvey Of Ten
any. n. J.. had been staying a month
at Yoke Pone. Ne. and started for
home. The husband went on the trail
toward the depot. the wife to follow
an hour OF two later. On the summit
Of Boardman mountain he met an an
CRY she-bear. which went for him.
Dropping his pack he climbed spruce
tree. just getting out OF reach OF the
bears claws. In his haste he dropped
his mittens, and as the temperature
was near zero his hands were badly
frozen. and he had to strap himself
to the tree to keep from falling out.
Two hours later the wife came on the
trail to the scene, and the bear left
the tree and started growing for her.
She was carrying the gun and fired
one shot. That did not stop the brute.
but the second one did. and left the
bear dead 10 feet away.-The Chris.

MAKE wIas o. SPUN GLASS
Natural Hair Becoming Scarce. Deal
srs IN Artificial Product Are
Driven to Extrsmltles.

No one outside the artificial hair
business knows the difaculty that
merchants In hair-goods have expert
encsd in getting material Of suficisnt
quality-especially in braids-at any
thing like the prices which most peo-
pie are willing 10 pay. Many coun-
tries. indeed. place such restrictions
on wig-makers. owing to hygienic rea-
sons, that natural hair is becoming
more and more rare.
In certain parts OF France the ex-
psdient was resorted to of making
wigs from certain nbrinous plants;
especially was this done with those
which have served to furnish mate
rial for rugs and blankets. BY split
ting the fibers very fine and treating
them chemically, II was possible to
make artificial hair, but the labor In
volved the asking Of prices that
were almost prohibitive. Moreover,
complaints were made that the substi-
tute was not satisfactory. Horsehair
was treated TO like process of d.
vision and Frightening, but the imita-
tion. except for the very poor class Of
trade. signally failed. Now, thanks to
9 series Of experiments, 1t has been
fotnd possible to utilize spun crystal
for the purpose. reducing it to any
shade which may be desired and to
any degree OF f1nenes. Indeed, the
resemblance to human hair is said to
be all but absolute. The new product
has the advantage. moreover, OF
weighing very little, and "hair' made
OF glass presents an appearance Of
luster and is. above all. thoroughly
hygienic.-Harper's Weekly.

Norah admitted that she had not,

Theory and Experiment.

Theory and experiment must go
hand in hand, and much depends on
one as much as ON the other, not
merely on its accuracy but also upon
its nature. Hundreds of experiments
may be made, which. however, not
withstanding their refinement and
accuracy, contribute little to the
march Of human progress in the right
direction; they may Of course in
ages count for much, but the chief
thing is that the experiment should
be of the right kind. and 1t is often
desirable that as much time, If not
even more time, should be spent in
deciding upon the right thing to be
done than In doing that thing itself.
One bad theory is often worse than
ten bad experiments because even
If these are properly carried out, they
may yet, If based upon false notions,
add little or nothing. If not to the
store at least to the advancement of
knowledge; and count almost for as
little as the one bad experiment
whether based upon theory or not

SQUIRREL SHOWS DEEP GRIEF
Mourns over Severed Head Of Mate
With Intensity That Seems Al
most Human.

Almost every public park in the
United States has its lively and half
domesticated colony of squirrels, and
there is no other creature OF the woods
and fields with which city children
may-and do-become so familiar An
interesting story which shows the
depth of feeling which these little ami
mails are capable, comes to the Com
panion from Waterloo, Ia:
A physician who lives near one of
the parks in that city had long had
an especial interest In pair of squir-
rels which made their home in a tree
within sight of his house. One day he
noticed that one of this pair was rum
ming up and down certain tree in
the park, meanwhile chattering in the
greatest excitement. Finally the lit
tie fellow appeared on a branch. hold.
ing between his paws the severed head
of his mate, over which he was moan
ing and whining pitifully. On investi-
cation, 1t appeared that the dead squir-
rel had been caught and actually de
capitated by a limb split of from the
tree by storm of the night before.
The grief-stricken mate would not
abandon the body all that day, and
mourned over the severed head with
an intensity and absorption which
seemed Almost human, with depth
of emotion indeed, OF which some hu.
man beings are hardly capable

Artificial Flowers.

The Japanese carry the art of arti
fetal flower making to perfection,
copying with marvellous fidelity not
only the blossoms. but whole branches
and even plants In bloom. They are
particularly clever In initiating wis
taria, cherry and rose trees, and the
flowers are SO naturally made in either
cotton and silk that they deceive the
keenest critic. Great branches OF
these various blossoms are used fol-
decorative purposes. There is great
vogue at present for the wearing OF
artificial flowers both with day and
evening dress. silk and velvet now-
ers command a high price.
