The committee on the procuring of
right-of-way for the brick road north of

Walter A. Alsdorf of the State Roads
Department, with view to securing
his presence here with other persons
interested, says the Utica Herald. Un-
Til this conference can be held and
certain information derived, action
will be deferred.
In the account of last weeks meet
ing one item omitted was an offer of
Mr.. w. Il. Bell to donate $1,000 toward
the road IL it should be built over the
present route in front Of his home.
There seems to be a growing senti-
ment in favor of making the route as
short as possible, and it is believed
the State highway department will in
sist upon this. To make the road as
Mr.. Campbell asks, would shorten it
about one-half mile, which would save
$4,000 in cost. This saving would
pay all the estimated damage to the
EARNS, besides saving a half mile In
distance for everyone passing the

The present road would be maintained
by the county, the new road by the

not be torn up much by traffic and
could be maintained at low cost. There
are things to be said in favor of either

Raising Prices in Japan.

A bag of rice, which only few
years ago cost SIPS, now sells at $3.50,
an increase of 100 per cent. But this
staple is only typical of nearly all
other articles of household use. No
legitimate reason exists for this in
crease. Rice is raised in Japan. Wages
are slightly higher, no doubt, but not
sufficiently so to add 100 per cent
to the cost of an article Of necessity.
Such rise in price of necessities is
an avoidable hardship, observes East
and West. The government can check
it, if wisely directed. The rice mar
ket, like wheat in America, should
be the last to suffer from violent ma
nipulation. It is the food of the
people and government should fix a
limit for its price.

Poets and Coffee.

Poets have neglected coffee; partly
because poets are greatly under the in
fluence of tradition, partly because
coffee is hard word to find a rhyme
for; one had hoped that vers libres
would give scope to coffee lovers. But
the vers-librettisti and vers-librettistae
(those gentlemen and ladies who write
poetry for the eye and the ear rather
than for the intelligence) have been
equally negligent. Philosophers do
not care for breakfast. Kant took a
pipe and a stroll for his morning meal,
and if we were to inquire into the
habits Of the extremely modern poets
we should be likely to find that they
are equally reckless of breakfast. 1
suspect them of cruel or mutton
broth.
To return, as T have said, no poet
has celebrated coffee. Shakespeare
came too soon. Pope has mere ref
erence:
Coffee, which makes the politician wise.
And see through all things with MS nall
shut eyes.
But in Pope's day coffee was an
affair Of afternoon and company did
not appeal to romantic sentiments as
breakfast coffee does.-Henry Dwight
iSedgwick in the Yale Review.

LIST SPOILED BY ADULAT!0N
Great Piano Vlrtuoso Never Employed
to Best Advantage the Great Gift
That He Possessed.

It Is only when we remember Liszt's
profession that we can read the riddle
he presents. From childhood up, he
was the idolized piano virtuoso. He
was petted and adored all his life. He
was smothered all his life under the
adulation showered upon him in every
capital of Europe, showered upon him
in every tangible form by women Of
the highest society. His was not q
character profound or fine enough to
right itself. He never managed to de-
velop out of that stage, to contact
with truly nourishing things. On the
contrary, he became completely up
rooted, came to exist entirely in this
modern Capua, came to love it and to
crave the rose leaves and the clouds
of perfume. His music is largely an
inspiration toward it, an attempt to
lperpetuate about him the admiration
and adulation, the glowing eyes and
half parted lips, the heaving bosoms,
It is q mechanism for procuring for
himself the Pascha power he desired.
Indeed, beside List, Chopin seems
veritable anchorite. True, List in
terested himself in music for another
reason. If it served to procure him
the particular "place in the sun" that
he craved, it furnished him also with
IA most engaging pastime. He inter-
ested himself in music as one might
interest oneself in q sport as one be-
icomes more proficient in it. He stud
led it's rules, its teachings, its tricks.
with what keenness he mastered them
his compositions show. But that inter-
est was only minor. The other was
the major.-Paul Rosenfeld, in Seven

SNAKES NESTS CLEANED OUT
PennsyIvaniars Probably Set Record
for "Bag" of Rattlers Constitut-
ing One Days Work.

John L. Klingaman, who never be-
fore knew any fear, so it is said, was
badly scared while picking buckle
berries on Broad mountain, near Glen
Onoko, when he stepped on huge rat
tlesnake which struck at his ankle,
Slightly lacerating it, though not poi
soning him, a Mauch Chunk (Pa.)
correspondent of the New York Sun
writes.
The big snake coiled to strike sec.
ond time, when Klingaman heard rat
ties all around him. Selling q club,
he killed the one on which he had
stepped, and then went after the
Others, which had drawn up in battle
array. After a fierce fight he killed
them all without receiving q scratch,
and on counting them he found that
he had killed nine big rattlers, the
smallest of them measured three feet
in length. He took the largest, 43
inches long, with 12 rattles and but
ton, home with him. 1t was the big
gest snake of the kind seen in this To-
scality in many years.
While Klingaman was busy slaugh-
tering one nest Of rattlesnakes, one Of
his companions, some distance away
from him, had an encounter with an
other nest Of eight rattlers, killing
every one Of them.
Rattlesnakes are more plentiful in
this section than in any previous sea-
son. Members Of Company F, Thir-
teenth regiment, National Guard, en-
gagged in this vicinity, have killed
many Of them this season. In one in
stance one of the troopers was bit
ten, but recovered.

We should not, supposing each of

and effect is that drinking makes a

than with Zola, who wrote book
called 'sL'Assommoir." Actually "Ton

since it is a product of the authors
experience Of life, whereas Zola's DOCK
is a product, not Of experience, but
of tabulations- -"Tom Jones" will prob
ably have more persistent vitality.
1T is a rendering of life as it is, such
as it is, picture of manners. 1t in
