How Good Roads Benefit a Community. The splendid road conditions exist ing on the continent cf Euro po can be duplicated here. The question is one for tho people themselves to solve, and it is actually being solved in the United States to day by the voluntary action of communities in various sec tions of the country. For example, ? beard that there wcro soma especially good stone road? boin/: constructed in thc State of Keir York, so I went there myself, and to make sure that I should make s thorough test I went in the midst of a January thaw. \ I gota pair of horses and i light buggy t?test other roads around the country, and I found that with a great- deal of diffi culty I could cjrtve over them. But in the seotion where the farmers had been building the stone road I found that two tons of hay were being hauled with two horses on a common narrow tired wagon. I said to tho farmers: "How did you get started in this business of building roads?" They said: "We .started it ourselves, we thought we could do something, as our fields aro full of Btone, with stone fences along thc road, so wc scraped together enough money to bay a rook crusher, hired an engine to run it and arranged to bring in the stones and haul baek tbe crushed stones." They have ac tually gone so far as to petition the Legislature for the pri^Isgso? increas ing their taxation boyend what the law allowed, and the result is that all tbe farmers in that Township are anx iously waiting for the ro-ds to be ex tended in their particular neighbor hoods. I said to them: "Doeai't this pile up your taxes?" ''Why," one farmer said, "in this ono week, by the advan tage of having the?e stono roads and getting to market with my hay, when it sells at a good price, n?y teams have camed $5 every day, while my neigh bors' teams on the other roads are eating their heads off. We could not afford to have their roads; we do not care anything about the taxation." A bright statistician, taking the railroad returns of freight and the amount of it that is hauled over the publio roads, makes the needless oost of removing the farm products of the United States to be $600,000,000 a year. Prof. Latta, of Pardue Univer sity, investigated it from the point of view of the farmers of Indiana. In that State they have some good roads, not the highest class of roads, but about 10,000 miles of very good gravel roads. He found from tho ?reports of tbe farmers themselves that the differ ence between good and bad roads was 78 cents an acre annually on their farms. I took a broader view of it and sent out letters to the 10,000 farmers in the United States who had been selected aa the best representative men to gath er statistics for the department of ag riculture. Taking the proper cost to be tbe present cost to the farmers in the good roads district of New Jersey, where there are actually as good roads as are found in any part of Europe, I found the cost of hauling over the ordinary roads of the country ?B just about three times as muoh as tbs oost of hauling over stone roads. Where a load is three tons on good roads it is one ton ou thc average farm roads. The aver age cost of hauling a ton a mile throughout the 'United State is 25 .cents. In the New England States it . is 32 cents, they .being more hilly and having generally worse roads. The cost in New Jersey was from seven to ten cents. The actual cost of " moving products .is not the only loss from bad roads by any means. Farmers lose by not be ing able to get to market when the market is good, by the waste of pro ducts that eannot bo marketed at all on account of bad roads, by not being encouraged tooultivate things that re quire a speedy .market, and itv a great many other ways. The fiotual money loss to tho farmers of tho United States by the bad roads of the country is not less than one quarter of the total home value of all their products. The total home value of the annual products of'the farms of the United States is about $2,500,000,000 and tho loss by bad toads is about $600,000, <100, so that thc.'farmers loso, or they would lose if they could stand all that loss themselves-one-quarter of the ^alue of all their produots by tho Wira cost of getting them to market. One reason why tho boards of t ade and the commercial bodies in the United States are getting interested m good roads is the fact that the whole business of the country is suf fering for the want of them.

"Speaking of the doctrine of the tvAMcaa^1 ' Qoi/i . r~i!rciid ssas of this city, "I don't doubt that the' risk of every vocation oan be Slured oat with almost mathematical accuracy. In do ing so, however, a mah :a liable to lose bis peaoe of mind. You remember, perhaps, that poor Gen. Lawton was a St m believer io the theory, and had calculated to a nicety exaotly what ohance a soldier ran of being killed in aotion. Eaoh time he came oat of battle unscathed h? held that the odds against him increased; and shortly be fore he was killed the general told s friend that he was then taking risks equivalent to nearly three to one. 1 used to know an old railroad conduc tor who got the same thing on hu \ brain. He bad been in service evei since '68, and strange to say, had nev er been in an accident of any kind I Of course, he had innumerable nar Lrow escapes, some of them so romarka j ble that they were well calculated t< j render a mau superstitions, and everj one heaped up the loads of odds ! "When ? first mci him, six cr seve: I years ago, he had figured out the,pro I oise number of runa a railroad mai would average without being hurt, an had also made a caleula? ion of th average duration of life in the service As he had lona since passed the maxi mum, eaoh trip that he made in safe ty increased the ohances, according t his theory, that ho would be eithe killed or maimed the next time h went out. 'The. odds in favor of m being injured between now and ne? Tuesday,' he would say, for exampli 'are 17 to 5, and the odds that I wi be fixed for a wooden overcoat at 8 I 3.' As the years went by andie him alive and unhurt the peroentag multiplied so enormously that he r< garded eaoh safe ran as something c less than a miracle. 'I oan't unde: stand it,' he would say, figuring at h table with the stub of a pencil; 'he: I was duo to be killed last Mond? with odds of 30 to 1. Next trip it wi stand 57 to 2.' At last ho mashed c one of hi? fingers in coupling, and wi the best pleased man in the Stat He had wipe'd ou-, the averages ai could take a fresh start. However, ' was still away ic arrears on the dea percentage, and having saved up a li tie money, he quit the business & went to farming. I saw him at a st tion not long ago, and he told i ho never expected to leave his pis unless he went on horsebaok or in wagon. He said he wouldn't take railroad ride for $10,000. 'As the oe stands now,' he added, 'it would courting almost certain death.' " m? a - Cured Him of Cursing.

A Journal reader scads tho f illow * *g trifles clipped from the Journal of October 15, 1891, with the request that it be republished: ''Wc need not consult the calendar to discover that the fulness of October is upon us. There is better proof of the faot in the crisp morning air, the deepened azure of the unflecked sky, j the splendid but soft sunshine, the j chili evening shadows and the crystal line sparkle of tho stars which seem now to marshal a host of recruits in their inaccessible fields.* "These evidences we have even in the city, and they give to busy life a new and sharper zest. "The thrill of October penetrates everywhere, quiokeos the fancies of every mind that is not dogged too thick with sordid care, and gladens every heart that is not-hopelessly hard. "But we never see Oetober in her full glory until wo find in her own royal realm away ftum the haunts of men. There shs works her miracle* of beauty and enriches tho common sir with the full fragrance of her sweet breath. Human hands have wrought no tapestries so lovely as those with whioh she carpets the sward and deck s the landscape. She transforms every tree into a marvel of rich, warm color and clothes the humblest bush in a glory of raidiant raiment. The im press of her pure, cool touch is seen on the swaying sweetgnm, whioh has tens to hang out its crimson banners of &!!cgianoe on the darkened green, and the russet of tue valiant oak, on the brighter tints of emerald and gold that flash through the forests from the crests of a thousand other loyal subjeots. "Amid auch scenes we ean but feel that we are in the presence and under the spell of one of the queenliest of all the months and that it is a privi lege to join in the tribute whioh Na ture lays lovingly at her feet. "And there may ooue tho better thought that, rightly viewed, this sea son is one of joy-not of Badness. That mind has hut a poor, dull vision whioh can see nothing but an emblem Cf death in the sere leaf and draw nothing but sorrowful suggestions from the autumn air. These aro but phases of the eternal spirit of life whioh changes its outward and acci dental forms with the varying fea tures of the yeer. "The falling leaves of autumn and the bursting lilies of spring have har monious voices, and the one as clearly as the other whispers to the listening ear of faith the sweet assurance of the resurrection .and the life."-Atlanta Journal. The Errors of Society. The dark blots that divoroe makes in society are too vasily seen and too sad to write much ab, ut, so I will give only a few incidents of the absurd sud ? humiliating positions in whict people may be placed: I once occu pied o seat on the grand stand at thc Newport Casino during a tonnie match. After ? had been in my seal for a shqrt time, a man I knew, once divorced, bat remarried, came in witl his wife and oconpied the two seati on my left, and a few moments late: thc woman from whom he had beet divoroed, and who had also remarried came in with her ne ff husband and sal direotly on my right. Whether thc ticket agent arranged iL'.3 for a joke ] am net prepared to say, but all weni well until I grew .ired of the game and got up, leaving the four in t straight row, whioh made an interest iog picture for a few moments. Tb? four soon realized, however, what pec; plo ffcrc staring and smiling at, and looking daggers at ono another, imme diately rose and disappeared in thc crowd. Tho incident amused thc lad: and misses very much. "A lady, I know very well in New York, who was giving a dinner party told me she always dreaded the ar ranging of her guests at ber tables lest she put people together whom th( "law had set apart," ns she pot it "It would be perfectly dreadful t( seat & gentleman beside a lady tc whom he is paying alimony."-Rev Brathlin Hamilton in November Smari Set.
