What the Fault Was. Dr. Frank W. Aliport, one of the leading oculists of Chicago, was re cently appointed examining physician by the b Td of education. A pupil from one f the schools where "fads" are more, oroughly in vogue than in almost any other public school, came to Dr. Aliport in the regular course of events to have his eyes examined. The physician went through the usual for inula for discovering the defects of vi:; 'ton. He placed a chart before the boy. The first wcrd* was "hat." "Now read this word," said the doctor. "Hhhuh ah-tuhh-h," sputtered the boy. "Then try this," said the doctor, pointing to "big." "Bih-ih-guhhh," stammered the bcy. "Madam," said the doctor to the boy's mother, "there is some more serious defect here than a.visual one. The vocal organs seem to be affected." "Oh, no," answered the mother, "he could spell and read quite well until be went to school and took up this new phonetic method."-New York Times. Smallest Bank Notes Issued.

ERMAN~ K4LI WORKS, Better Country Highways. lA G considerable ex perience In road building as Commissioner of Highways, , wan*tto say a word on how roads can be much improved before the great tidal wave of permanent improve ment reaches up, for, although it is bound to come, we need not stand back, knee deep in the mud, waiting; and what is done in the way of drain ing - the first of Importance - and grading, and otherwise clearing up the sides, will all be so much gained toward the final finish. I will give a little experience of how I make a good earth turnpike on a level piece. First, I. provided ample drainage, then, early in the spring; -before, the ground was thoroughly settled, I back furrowed to the centre, then harrowed lengthwise and rolled, which process I repeated for the third time, the last time doing a very thorough job of finishing with harrow and roller. Now, those that never tried it will be astonished to see how high these workings will make a road, and, con trary to the "expectations of some," this road settled down hard and smooth, and made a durable turnpike, and without a single pain or backache, as caused by the old scraper method then in use. Now, the modern wheel road machine would materially assist. My purpose in writing this is particu larly to deal with another phase of road improvement, suggested by "nti cles often published, that is, in relationi to convict labor in competition with outside labor. The person that is for{ tunate enough to keep out of sail has no just reason to complain. In the first place the jail labor would be em ployed to a considerable extent, if o side, or not in jail, which, of course. would come in competition with indus tries in all branches, and when men have forfeited their liberty there is no good reason why they should be fed and clothed at the expense of the State, for the express purpose of giving the other part of the community markets for labor as well as produce. There is nothing.fair about it. As the State is responsible for their keeping, it should be at liberty to use them to the best possible advantage, to compel them to help, at least, to earn their own living -a new experience to many, I thiik. Then the effect on the convicts them selves is worth any sacrifice to outside labor, and it shows a selfish motive to even mention or bring up the question. Again, there is no person outside of jail in this country who wants a day's As a matter of fact, many commi petty offences for the express purpost of getting into jail, in order to get theb: winter's -board. If they were com. pelled to break stone, saw wood oi shovel snow in a chain gang I am surn many would prefer to board them. selves. As I have said, it is a weak selfish argument to be harping aboui the employment of convIct labor as lr damaging comt~petition with outside em. ployment-for the tax paid to support this Idle class will more than offset thl difference of being employ'ed in jail o: out. Criminals, even, have some self-re spect, and I think many a young man, if loaded into a wagon and carried tc some distance and put to work ditch ing, or on other r.oad work, where he would not be shielded from public gaze behind the bars', would resolve "If] live to get out of this, I will work out my own road tax as long as I live." A. B. C., in the New York Tribune. Helping State Road Work. The annual report of Director Dodge, of the office of Public Road Inquiries, Agricultural Department, says that representatives of the office visited nearly all the States during the year and made scientific investigations re garding local condition, road materials, etc. Several State legislatures asked for and obtained assistance in framing new road laws. Farmers' organ izas tions, farmers' institutes, business or ganizations. schools, colleges, etc., peti tioned for co-operation and advice, and all of them were accommodated as far as the resources of the office permitted. Never before, says the report, has there been so nmuch interest manifest ed in the sub.ject of road building, and more actual work in* that line was done last year than ever before. The object-lesson methods of teachini; practical road building, carried on for several years, became -so valuable and were so highly appreciated that there were many calls for their extension. To meet the constantly increasing de mands for practical assistance and ad vice the director suggests the organ iza tion of two or three outfits of road building machinery, including rock crshers, screens, rollers, road graders, etc., to be usedl in illustrating aetual road construction. The r-oad materiah would be cheer-fully furnished by the local authorities, who would also con tribute the common labjor teams an. fuel. This p)lan would make the ex pense of building: experimecntal and sample roads very easy to be borne. and would enable he Government. with a small expe ,iture, to accom plish much practicaI benefit.
