HIGHWAY CONSTRUCTION. The Employment of Free Labor Gives tlic Iicttt Itexults. Commenting on the employment of convicts 011 the public highways, the New Orleans Times-Democrat points oot that the best results have been obtained in road building when the best free labor only has been employed. It says: Road construction is a science re quiring a more careful study of the subject. than is generally imagined. The prevalent idea that any one can build a good road will not hold good. The matter requires study, care and a thorough knowledge of the soil and country through which the road is to be built. The department of agriculture has lately been doing good work by laying before the peoplo exactly what is necessary in road construction. The employment of convicts in road construction is very popular just now. as olfering simultaneously a solution of the two troublesome problems of what to do with our prison population and how to improve our highways. In view of the fact that the convicts in New York, Indiana and other states are kept idle, as the law makes no provision for their support, it is well that Louisiana should take some steps to utilizo hers when it has them 011 its hands, and road construction seems an ideal employment for them. On the other hand, the experience of those states which have been most successful with ttieir roads is that only the best labor (and convict labor is noli the best) should bo employed in their construction and maintenance. No state which has made any material improvement with its highways has employed convict labor, and no state which has employed that kind of labor has secured much improvement in its roads. The best results have been accomplished by road taxes and tho giving out of contracts. GOOD COUNTRY ROADS. The Burden of Their Cost Shouldl Be Alike on All the l'eople. lb has been estimated that 500,000, 000 tons of farm produce are hauled to -i -i. n_ ti,? Cfnfaa nmr&Cb mutually 1U uic uuireu uuuwa and that the cost of marketing it is 82 per ton, or just about $1,000,000,000. This is not money paid out, but is the valuo of the time spent by farmers with their teams in marketing crops or what theso men and teams would have earned if they had been hired for cash to do this amount of hauling. The secretary of the farmers' national congress and tho United States department of agriculture agree in estimating that about 60 per cent of this vast amount, or $600,000,000, would bo saved each year ? " li iarmers avuiu uuio iu uu una uuuiuj^ over good roads. This, then, is tho amount of the annual mud tax to which we liavo been submitting, say3 the Cedar Rapids (la.) dazette. Railroads, telegraphs and steamboat lines have been assisted by tho states and subsidized by tho government, but nothing lias been dono for tho common country road. The fanners alone have had to build country roads, without assistance from tho cities, from wealthy corporations or from the state. Every citizen will be benefited by tho construction of good roads, directly and indirectly, and every taxpayer should contribute his sharo to their cost. No wonder tho farmer opposes the good roads movement, if he alono is to stand tho expense. Ho has rightly suggested that he should be assisted through tho medium of a state road tax, under a system of state aid, as now employed in Now Jersey, Connecticut and Massachusetts. Good Roads Object Lesson. Four or fivo years ago the tov,'u of Hempstead, Queens county, N. Y., voted to speud $400,000 iu road improvements. Farms at tho time were worth from $30 to $50 au aero. They are uow worth several hundred dollars an aero and roturn good interest for thoso who purchased them at that price. This has been such an object lesson to their neighbors that I understand something like $1,000,000 will be spent this year in other parts of Queens county and neighborhood in building good roads. This may seem a large amount of money to be spent for the purpose, but owing to the character of the soil and the fnp.k that pood road material must bo brought the cost of construction is higher tliau it would be in most parts of the state. Fifty Miles to Market. It is not an uncommon thing in Franco to see a farmer 40 or 50 miles from homo in wet weather with a heavy load. If he sees a prospect of a three days' rain, he puts his tarpauli:t over his load, a cover over his horses and a waterproof coat on and starts off to market. Ho may go 50 miles before ho finds a market that suits him, or he may know in advance just where ho is going. You do not often see anybody driving 50 miles through a rainstorm in the United States to find a market for a load of hay, but it is not at all uncommon to see farmers' wagons 40 or 50 miles from home in France. They choose the wet weather for that purpose. Their roads aro just as good then as at any time.? General Roy Stone. Convict Labor on Roads. Convict labor in road building is being employed* in Duval county, Fla., and in North Carolina. In tho latter case 21y? cents per day per head is said to cover tho cost of food, clothes, medical attendance and guards, as compared with 2ft cents per day for maintaining the same prisoners in jail. The Duval Good Roads association of Florida advocates the use of short term couvicts on such work and makes the claim tiiut they would in this manner pay back some of the money expended upon them, and they would also stand a better chance of bring called back to an honest lifo than if they were mado to associ ate with more hardened criminals in a prison.

USES OF THE TELEPHONE. j How it IIhm Koch Clilizt'd in I.rk'al |irocp<*iiiii(;s?Ki>iiii?r liable Session Of a Sunday School. Chicago Inter?Occnu. Of late the telephone has been utilized lo a considerable extent in legal proceedings'. Affidavit* have b*en sworn to, acknowledgments have been taken, and in one case at least testimony has been rectived uy telephone. Tnis last inovation must btcredited to Fort Scot, Ivas., where two witnesses described as prominent business men, were permitted to give evidence in this manner, the attorneys stipulating that no objection should i>e taken to this unusual proceeding. Another case that bus attracted unbsual attention is reported from New York, where an affidavit which had been telephoned from Cincinatti and acknowledged over the wire was accepted in the supreme court as suflicient ground for the issuance of an attachment involves a considerable sum of money. The proceedings were unusual and interesting. The facts were tolpnhoned from Ciucinati over a long ""I distance telephone line, an affidavit was prepared at New York end of tha liue and read to the complainant, whc was standing at the telephone in Cineinaii, where in the presence of witnesses made the required acknowledgment. It was still necessary to have some one in New York talk with the complainant and positively identify his voice. This was done, the papers were filed and the attachment issued. The interested parties announced that sev eral days' delay had been avoided b>' utilizing the telephone, and by thi.< prompt action it was possible fo have a judgement satisfied which it mighl have been difficult otherwise toaccom plish. Many important transactions have hinged upon telephone messages, anc the courts have long since recognizee their admissibility as evidence undei . roper restrictions. Probably the fir>i instance of this kind, and, at any rah the most notable early example of tin telephone in law, was the part playec in securing the conviction of Ferdi nand Ward, Gen. Grant's partner ir 1885. On October, 20 of that year James D. Fish, who had been con vicfed of wrecking the Main nationa hank of New York and was at tha time serving a term of ten years a1 Sing Sing, testified that he bad r?ceived instruction from Ward by tele j phone regarding the disposition of cer ifoin cpr>nrifi(>s. amounting to $1-50,000 Ward's attorneys, Gen. Tracy an< Bourke Cockran, objected strenuously to the admission of this testimony, bti Justice Rarrat decided against th- m Tf may be interesting to recall the fac that Benjamin Fish, a brother of tlx onvicted president of the Marim >atik, in support of the testimony al ready mentioned, declared under oail .hat he had stood within eighteei inches of the telephone while his bro ther was talking to ward, and that Liieard the latter's voice dislictly aw ecognizod it. When the attorney fo Ward declared that this statement wa ridiculous the prosecution produced i etter that Ward had written to Fish complaining thmt every one in tin room where the telephone was placet ould hear the conversation. Tin prosecution relied upon the telephon* nessage to convict Ward, and when ai appeal was taken after Ward's sen nee to ten year' imprisonment Ju> I decision admitting tlv elephone message was sustained. Another striking example of th lovel uses to which the telephone ma >e put, but in an entirely different lin from tho<e mentioned, wasafiorded b; i remarkable session of a Sunda school at wichita, Ka?., where th superintendent, who was confined t lis bed, conducted the services with >tit the slightest hitch by means of ai inusually sensitive telephone. Th huivh ami residenro were connecter by telephone, and three megaphone were employed, one at the head of lb -uperintemlent's bed, one suspendei from the center of the church and on in front of the pulpit. The superin endeut's voice was distinctly heari by the congrigation as he said "Gooi morning" and announced the routin of (he school. He called for his favor itesougs, aud they were borne lo hi ar with all their melody and volume Me joined in them heartily, and at th lose of the service he told the scholar i that if they had enjoyed the hour a , much as he had it was the grandes Sunday school session they ever had. Many other incidents might be rt ated in a similar vein, all going t how that this wonderful inventor i not restricted in its usefulness to 01 lering groceries or breaking engag? (uents, but that its influence extend i mto every part of tiie domestic, pre i essional and social organization. -V ?PRK veil t:il S' SA I. A III r.N. How Tliey Aro Starve?l by Their Con a remit ion*. Washington Post. V Methodist newspaper lias ascer ained that theaverage salary of preacli of that denomination in the souti is only $473.35 a year.

Tire $473.3 t year gives about $1.30 a day. Tli averuge preacher's family consists a tive persons. Allowing the munilicen sum of SI a day for rent, clothing, fuel loctor's bill and the numberless inci dentals, we find 30 cents remaiuinj 'or the table. This allows 10 cents meal for breakfast, dinner and supper or in other words two cents a head fo father, mother and children. It wil be seen that no part of the preacher' income goes for a servant's hire. Th wife of the clergyman, who isexpectei o take a leading part in religious am ocial work and to entertain man; callers, must do the housework, in hiding washing and ironing. Tin Methodist paper that figured out th average salary of $473..'to has some pa thetic comments on the thread-bar coat of a clergyman thus situated am the "actual misery" It represents The wonder is that so many men cat keep up even a semi-respectable ap pearance on such an allowance. If i lie urged that thousands of working men support their families on less thai that, we submit that the fact "ha: nothing to do with thecase." Preach ers cannot adopt the habits of tin j workiugman. They must incur man^ expenses that are not in the account o wage earner* engaged in manual labor Those for whom preachers work arc liiVMiint'd to believe that such work i: of vital importance.

STUDENTS' DUELS. t, How the Gcrtnan University Men Are ; (| Padded For tho Fight. I { My friond had vanished into the dress- b I ing room, and at first glanco I entirely n failed to recognize him in the padded jj monster that now staggered clumsily into jj the room, supported 011 each side by his fj seoond and sword hearer. The thick armor w of leather and wadding with which ho was tI bolstered entirely protected his body and j a limbs. His neck was rigidly incased in a j, high, thick collar of silk and whipcord, , (j and his eyes were protected by iron gog- ^ gles as large as small teacups, from which i {] 1 a strap passed round the ears to be buckled at the back of the head.

Enthroned on an armchair u little in front of tho other spectators, ho a divided his timo pretty eqnaivp between a ^ hugo mug of Mnnchoner and a long pipo ( of.which the painted china bowl rested on f the ground. Ho now proolalmed "Silen- ? * tium!" and proceeded to announco the 1 ! duel. It was to last for 20 minutes, ex- ' ? eluding all pauses, and as usual to consist ^ of short bouts or "gangs," with brief in- e ' tervals of rest between each. The swords J i ?long, nasty looking blades, sharp as ra- f ; zors and flexible as riding switches?were t carefully wiped with disinfecting lotion . and banded to the combatants.

One of tlie most dangerous demons int walks to and fro in the earth to- ny is the one whose name is written i a caption to this short article. The carer of tlie above name is one of the \ iobt hideous monsters that live in je impure human heart, he is connuously going up and down, to and o, in the world, seeking hearts into hieh he may enter. And oh ! sad ! eo iany have heard his knockings and dmitted the dangerous visitor ; now e's supping bitter, burning food with inse wno nave taiten mm iu, auu e'll be pleased to take such food with aem through eternity. Solomon says, "Hatred stirreth up trife." Let's see: It stirs up si rife etween individuals. Hatred is causug the.ttrife between those two neighors who are spending their livings ghting each other in the courts. That lan will not speak pleasantly to Iris ext door neighbor, and the calumnius tilings they say about each other reborn of hate. There are multipli(1 thousands of human beings in the forld who hate somebody. Sometimes he strife boils in the quiet thoughts efore it bursts forth, but it is always trife, for "hatred stirreth up strife," It stirs up strife in families. Many , precious family circle has bee broken ip and its members turned against ach other by hate. There are huuIreds of men who are wearing the lothes of Cain, skirts stained with heir brother's blood. While we write k'eare thinking of a son who had been ighting his father for years. A large state has been "gobbled up" by lawera because of the strife between theee nembersof the same family. There s a daughter who has been the recipent of a thousand favors from her ather put it was "love's labor lost" or to-day she is loud in her hatred- of lim ; and he, following the evils of his / iwn nature, returning railing of rail- t ^ft stirs up strife in churches. Oh! ^ iow true! There are churches in Jeorgiawhich areall wranglingamong hemselvcs. Look into the case closey and you will find at the bottom some hing which dosen't resemble love. The humble writer went into a large sity church gome years ago and leard the learned, pious pastor preach i powerful sermon on "If by forgive lot men their tresspasses neither will 'our Father forgive you your tressjasses." He told the people of their nalife toward each other ; and upon inquiring we learned that its members vere fighting each other in almost ?very conceivable way. Now,, that ;hurch is dead haired stirred up strife tud strife killed. Its best members luited with another church of the tame faith an order, aud ere long the niilding was sold. We konw a church vhich was the pride of its pastor of ,'ears, but hatred workedits cruel way nto that humble country church and luch awful strife way stirred up that (s influence was paralyzed and it is tlraost dead now, When st dies, for lie in will, demons will clap their iery hands and shout over hatred's /ictory. It stirs up strife in communities. [n some of our best neighborhoods luch strife is rising that good people remble or their safety. In a certain jountry in the north-west part of this itate there was a lovely valley. Six rears ago we passed through that beauiful vale and a lovelier spot we never iaw. Broad fields of tasseling corn, md fruiting cotton, greeted the eyes, rhe people lived in beautiful houses. riie yards were fragrant with sweet 3owers, but best of all in that happy, jeautiful valley there blossomed the Rose of Sharon which sent forth a fragance that carried the blessed power if healing wounded, bleeding hearts. A.las ! alas! the homes are neglected. J md the fields are poorly cultivated, 1 Lhe flowers no longer bloom, the sweet Rose of sharon no longer blesses the lhe spot. Why it is such an uninviting place to-day ? The demon, hatred walk in to that commnity and spread its black wings over it and from them there dropped poison which dealt Jead. But. enough with this. Rerder, ion'tallow hate to blight your life and damn your soul. o HOW LEAD PENCILS ARE MADE. - Vo Lend Thonnh the Name Still C'lintCH to Them. Once pieces o' lead were used for marking, and we coutinue to use the word, though lead in no longer a part )f our pencils. History has failed to record the name of the great genius who gave to the world that most use ful little instrument. We have heard ill about the discovery of burnt snuff ind the sewing-machine and the typewriter and all that, but the inventor of the lead pencil has, evidently, gone Jown into the shadow of oblivion "unwept, undouored and unsuug." "I have to laugh at the queer Ideas ?ome people have about pencils," said i manufacturer. "You will scarcely elieveif, but the opinious of people who know nothing about it seem to be divided between the melting of the lead and pouring it into the hole in the wood ami cutting out the lead to fit the whole. The part that goes into our pencils other than the lead is cedar md comes from theswamps of Florida. li is ODiainen iroin lue iaueu iiccsumi lie there. There are men there who make a business of supplying to pencil manufacturers this cedar in blocks which are sawed to tlie length of the ^ peucil, some thick, to receive the lead, md others thin, for the piece that is ?lucd over the other containing the lead. The blocks are sawed for four pencils each. The groove is made by x saw, and in this the lead lies. 'T know," continued the manufacturer, "thatjnot one out of ten thousand persons has the least idea of what this lead is. Kee, here is a tine black powder; that is graphite and costs somewhere about 2-5 cents a pound. I'll is white substancs is German clay, r t nomps nr>ro?H the ocean as ballast in vessel* and all it costs us is for freight. We mix clay and powder together and ,'riucl them inn mill, moistening the mass carefully during the process, uutil the two are thoroughly assimilated md reduced to a paste that is about tlie jonsistence of putty. Here' all the ilies for the leads are kept in hot glue md are placed in the grooves as the blocks are made ready. When the lead is put in there suugly and forever the thin block is glued to the thick one und left to dry thoroughly." The Maldivian islanders cat alone. Before a meal they retire to the most deluded spot they can fiud, and eat w ith drawn blinds, or surrounded by a >creen. The explanation of (his precaution is tnoie likely to be fear than modest v. I n days gone by, the savage no doubt concealed himself lest some K nan stronger than he should snatch ^4 lie hard-earned food away.
