STATE ROAD WIDER.

State Road Commission, Acting
Upon Request of the Board of
Trade, Agrees to Make Cam
bridge to Jacktown Road l6 In
stead of II Feet Wide.
The daily banner. (Cambridge, Md.) 1897-2008, 1912-11-07

Acting favorably upon the re-
quest of the Cambridge Board Of
Trade, the State Roads Commission
recognizing the reasonableness of
the request made that the road
from Cambridge to Jacktown, on
account of the immense amount of
traffic upon it, should be wider
than twelve feet, has written to
the members of the committee that
the road will be made sixteen, in
stead of twelve, feet wide,as origi-
nally planned.
That this favorable action will
be heartily approved of by every
citizen of Cambridge, as we'll as
the thousands of persons who travel
up and down the road daily, goes
without saying. The Improvement
to this stretch of road will be the
greatest benefit yet derived by the
people of the county from the Good
Roads Fund, for it is the most tray
eled, and at the time the work
was started, was in the worst con-
dition of any road in the county.
We have advocated in season and
out of season ever since the inaug-
uration of the Good Roads Move
ment, the improvement of this
road, and are pleased to see the
actual accomplishment of the work.

The Curious Limpets.

The limpets are curious kind OF
shellfish. They resemble the abalones
In their habits. The interior Is made
Of the most brilliant colors, bronze and
iridescent hues predominating. They
are found on the west coast Of Mexico
and are so large that the people use
them for wash basins. They are fero-
cious animals and prey with great vo-
racity on clans. The process seems
slow, but the limpet always gets there
He gets his cover over the unsuspect-
ing clam and puts his big foot on his
shell, generally on a weak spot. Then
he whips out long. wiry tongue and
proceeds to bore hole in his captive
When this is done the shell flies open,
and the limpet is free to feast on the
poor clans carcass. He eats but
part and leaves the rest for the fishes
of the sea.

Not so long ago a Lancashire road
breaker sold his wife to another man
and thought the transaction was per
fectly legal because he bad placed a
halter round her neck. the end Of
which he put In the hand Of the pur.
chaser after the money had been paid
This belief rises from the custom of
olden days, when wives were actually
led into the market place with halters
round their necks and sold to the best
purchaser. 1t was this custom which
led to the humorous ditty which runs:
"a jolly shoemaker, John Hobbs, he
married Jane Carter; no damsel was
smarter, but she was tartar, Jane
Hobbs. SO he tied rope to her, Jane
Hobbs. and like lamb to the slaugh
ter to Smithfield he brought her; but
nobody bought her, Jane Hobbs. oh,
who wants a wifeT cried Hobbs; but
somehow they tell us those wife trad
ing fellows were all of them sellers.

Largely as a matter of experiment
gentleman determined to ascertain how
thoroughly he could familiarize him
self with a country by means of maps
and books of description. To make
the case as difficult as possible he
chose Madagascar. of which to that
moment he had no knowledge except
of most general character. He pur-
sued this inquiry diligently and with
increasing relish. At the end of four
or five years a man who had just re-
turned from Madagascar came into his
office. The conversation naturally
turned upon the island whence this
man had come. The traveller finally
asked, when were you last in NADIA
gascarY' 81 have never been there"
was the response. Why" exclaimed
the other, "you know more about 1t
than 1 do" A similar story is told OF
Won Humboldt, who never saw Jeru-
salem, but produced a thoroughly re-
liable account Of the Holy City. The
traveller has often discovered that the
persons who apparently know least
about place are those Who have liv-
ed in it all their days.-Christian Ad-

Prophetic Bells.

At 2 a. m. on Sept 81, 1869, the
world famous clock in the great cathe-
dral at Strassburg commenced to chime
without rhyme or reason. 1t sounded
1870 peals. then stopped, and after an
interval slowly began to toll as If for
a great one dead The political atmos-
phere of Europe at that time was in
dicative Of profound peace. Nothing
Of danger or disgrace could by any pos
sibility be conceived of as threatening
Strassburg or its inhabitants. Yet less
than a year afterward the German ar
mics had encircled the city with ring
Of steel and fire. The German shells
were falling thickly in her streets and
squares and exploding even within the
precincts of the stately cathedral it.

Women Sweep the Streets.

There are many systems of street
cleaning, but probably that Of the
French government of Porto Novo, Da-
honey, West Africa. is the most econo.
mical. The native police examine the
streets, and at any part which requires
cleaning they stop the women and girls
who happen to be passing at the time
and order them to sweep the rubbish
into heaps. A woman may be seen
hurrying along, water jar on head.
child strapped on back and perhaps on
urgent business, when the native po-
liceman hands her a brush, made from
q palm tree leaf. and orders her to do
her share of sweeping. This she does
reluctantly, knowing how useless 1t is
to refuse. Occasionally the native re-
fuses to do this enforced labor, but in
the end the sweeping Is done, for the
police possess unique powers. The men
are exempt from this unpaid work, as.
naturally, it would interfere and re-
tard the trade Of the colony.

A SYMBOL OF Freedom.
Tho Liberty Cap Dates Away Back to
Early Greek Times.

carry 1T6ek ! iT1SSs
From very early times one Of the dis
tinguishing marks Of a slave, both in
Greece and oriental countries general
ly, was the lack Of any covering for
the head. Accordingly the cap came &c
be considered the insignia Of liberty,
and when slaves were given their free
dom they were presented with a cap
as an emblem of 1t.
In Sparta the helots wore a cap of
dogskin, and this was reckoned a
badge Of servitude, but upon gaining
their freedom this was replaced by a
cap of different material, Of another
shape and ornamented with flowers.
A similar custom was observed In
Rome, where the presentation Of the
pileus. or cap, was always part OF
the ceremony Of manumitting a slave;
hence arose the proverb, "Servos ad
pileum vocare"
Also on medals the cap is the symbol
Of liberty and Is unusually represented
as being held in the right hand by the
point. When cap was exposed to the
peoples view on the top Of spear, as
in the case of the conspiracy against
Caesar, it was intended as public in
vitation to them to embrace the liberty
that was offered them.
The Goddess of Liberty on Mount
Aventine was represented as holding
a cap in her hand as a symbol Of free
dom. The Jacobins wore red cap
during the French revolution, and in
England a blue cap with a white Dor
der is used as a symbol of liberty.
The custom which prevails among
university students Of wearing cap
is said to have had it's origin in wish
to signify that the wearers had acquir-
ed full liberty and were no longer sub
ject to the rod of their superiors.

According to an eminent authority,
when the Portuguese under Gaspar
Cortereal in 1890 first assembled the St
Lawrence they believed it to be the
strait of which they were in quest,
through which passage might be dis
covered into the Indian sea. When.
however. they arrived at the point
when they could clearly ascertain that
this was no strait, but river, they ex-
claimed repeatedly in their disappoint
ment. "Ca NADIA" C"Here nothing'o-
These words, remembered by the ma
tives, were repeated to the next Euro

The Bird If Death.

In New Guinea there Is said to be a
venomous bird called the bird Of death
1t is about the size of pigeon, with a
tail of extraordinary length ending in
a tip of brilliant scarlet. 1t has a
sharp, hooked beak and frequents
marshes and stagnant pools. The ven
ON with which 1t inoculates Is dis
titled in q set Of organs which lie in
the upper mandible. just below the
openings of the nostrils. Under them,
in the roof of the mouth, is small
feshy knob. When the bird sets It's
beak in the flesh of victim this knob
receives a pressure which liberates the
venom and inoculates the wound.
