Aa a matter or fart, there most b? some

?e that the board of trustees need re-organltatlon,
but It Is perfectly certn'n that tba
members of no college faculty wblcb suceeds
in running IU students away are property lo

In earlier times the ordinary man was
simply William or John?that is to say. be
bad only a Christian name without any
kind of "handle" before It or aurnams
after It, aaya tbe Philadelphia Reoord.
Some means of dlatlngulabing one John
or William from another John or William
became necessary. Nicknames derived
from a man's trade or his dwelling plaos
or from some personsl peculiarity wars
tacked on to his Christian name, and plain
John became John Smith. As yet there
were no "misters" in tbe land.
Some Jobc Smith accumulated mors
wealth than tbe bulk of his fellows?beoame
perhaps a landed proprietor or an
employer of hired labor. Tben he began
to be called in tbe Norman-French of the
day the "malstre" of this place or that,
of these workmen or of tboee.
In time tbe "malstre," or "malater,"
as It soon beoame, got tacked on before
his name, and be beoame Malster Smith
and bis wlfs was Malstress Smith.

HIGHWAY CONSTRUCTION.
Bm Employment of Fi*? Labor GItm tbi
PfUf R#anltA.
Commenting on the employment ol
jonvicta on the poblic highways, the
New Orleans Times-Democrat point*
out that the best results have been obin
mm) bnildinir when the best
free labor only bai been employed. I!
ays:
Road construction is a science requiring
a more careful study of the rah
jiect than is generally imagined. The
prevalent idea that any one can bnild 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.

lj been doing good work by laying before
the people exactly what ia necessary
in road construction.
The employment of convicts in road
construction ia very popular just now.
as offering 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 utilize hers
when it has them on its hands, and

On the other band, the experience of
those states which have been most successful
with their roads is that only
the best labor (and convict labor ia not
the best) ahould be employed in their
construction and maintenance. No state
which has made any material improvement
with its highways has employed
oonvict labor, and no state which baa
employed that kind nf labor has secured
much improvement in its roada. Tbo
best results bave been accomplished by
road taxes and the giving out of contracts.
GOOD COUNTRY ROADS. The
Burden of Their Cost Should Be
, Alike oa All tbo People.
It baa been estimated that 600,000,
000 tons of farm produce are hauled to
market annually in the CJnited States
and that the cost of marketing it is 93
per ton, or just about $1,000,000,000.
m-'? ' ?? mill nnl hnt ia thfl
AUin ii uvt iuvmv^ yw*'* wv ? .. alue
of tbe time spent by farmers with
their teams in marketing crops or what
these men and teams would have earned
if they bad been hired for cash to da
this amonnt of hauling. The secretary
of the farmers' national congress and
the United States department of agriculture
agree in estimating that abont
60 per cent of this vast amonnt, or
$600,000,000, would be saved each year
if farmers were able to do this hanling
orer good roads.
This, then, is tbe amonnt of the annual
mud tax to which we have been
submitting, says the Cedar Rapids (la.)
Gazette. Railroads, telegraphs and
steamboat lines have been assisted by
the states and subsidized bj the govern
stent, but nothing hat been done foi
tbe common country road. The farmer*
alone have had to build country roads,
without assistance from the cities, from
wealthy corporations or from tbe itate.
Every citizen will be benefited by tbe
construction of good roads, directly and
indirectly, and every taxpayer ahonld
contribute bia ibare to their coat No
wonder the farmer opposes tbe good
roada movement, if be alone is to stand
the expense. He has rightly suggested
that he should be assisted through the
medium of a state road tax, under a system
of state aid, as now employed in
T?utul Mamu>hn.

Oood Rood* Object I mw.
Four or five years ago tbe town o 1
Hempstead, (Queens county, N. Y., voted
to spend $400,000 in road improvements.
Farms at tbe time were worth from $30
to $60 an acre. They are now worth
several hundred dollars an acre and re*
turn good interest for those who purchased
them at that price. This bai
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 Qneens county and
neighborhood in building good roads.
This may seem a large amount of money
to be spent for the purpose, but owing
to tbe character of the soil and th?
fact that good road material must be
brought the oostof construction is higher
than it would be in most parts of the
state.
Fifty Kiln to Market.
It i* not an uncommon thins in
France to see a farmer 40 or 50 miles
from borne in wet weather with a heavy
load. It be aoea a prospect of a three
days' rain, be pnta bis tarpaulin over
bis load, a coyer over bis horses and s
waterproof coat on and starts off to market
He may go 60 miles before be findi
a market that suits him, or he may
know in advanoe just where be is going.
Ton do not often see anybody driving 60
miles through a rainstorm in the United
States to find a market for a load of
bay, but it is not at all uncommon to
see farmers' wagons 40 or 60 miles from
home in France. Tbey choose tbe wet
weather for that purpose. Their roads
are just as good then as at any timeGeneral
Boy Stone.

Convict labor in rood building if be*
ing employed in Duval county, Fla.,
and in North Carolina. In tbe latter

Good Roads association of Florida advocates
tbe use of short term convicts
on such work and makes tbe claim that
they would in this manner pay back
some of tbe money expended upon them,
and they would also stand a better

life than if they were made to associate
with more hardened criminals in s
prison.

HANDMADE FILES.
AN INTERESTING DESCRIPTION OF A
DELICATE PROCESS.
Workmen Bmoom So AociraU That Tk*j
Could Go M if Thoy Blind?Xocha&Jca
Held It to Bo an Art la Which
XKDinerj i oqiq noi t oraprw.
Rasps nnd fllos in the hands of a first
oloss mechanic rise to the dignity of tools
| of the first order io a machlnc shop. To
"flit squan" Is a test of skill which has
caused many a braggart to lower his crest,
and an A 1 vise hand is a treasure in a
I shop where finishing is done on the bench.
To Ole square means to file truo; to finish
the face of the work without marring it
with scratches and rounding surfaces, and
to do this as a regular everyday thing, is
an art to be won only through practice
and long experience. File* ruin thousands
of dollars' worth of wurk, and flies add
: thouMindtf of dollars to tbe value of utaou
' tortured product.
| In some of the machine aho}* of Chica
go are gray haired mechanics who have
worn overalls for 40 yean and more. They
remember well the tlmo when machine
made flies were held up to ridicule and
corn and when all flmt class, well known
makes of flies were cut by hand. Somo of
these old fellows still Insist that machine
made flies are not and never can be at
good ob the flies which are cut by band,
and they carry this prejudice to such an
extent that they declare they cannot do
good work with tbs machine cut flies.
It wonld lis difficult for them to tell the
| difference between the two makes of flies,
for within comparatively few years ma
chines have bean making flies that cannot
be approached by the most expert file outtan
of Sbafflald. Files, and many of them,
are still cut ky hand, and o file cutter Is
probably the most expert uwr of a hammer
and ooldshliel In tbo industrial world.
| Files and rasps are made of steel which
aries from the ' blistered" stool for the
poorer quality of flies to the best crucible,
or "cast cast" steel, for the higher grades.
The blanks are prepared for tbe 11 k< cutter
by forging tbe "tang," or tapered point
for the habdle, and shaping tbe steel to
tb? proper form under a die or press. Tbe
blanks are thoroughly annealed or softened,
and are perfectly clean and free from
; scale when laid on the bench of the workI
man who cuts the teeth.
j A fllo cutter generally worss on um
' tame kind of a "cat" year In and year
I out. This gives him a mechanical perfection
which cannot be secured In any other
jWoy, and It Is sold that a workman's
! band become* ao accustomed to the spacing
that were be to become blind he could
' cat Just as well.
1 Files are mod* of many forms to soil
i the great variety of work which they are
i called npon to do, bat tbe "cats" which
give ooarseness and fineness to files are
comparatively few. Tbey are known as
' rough,""bastard," "smooth" and "dead
; smooth." Tbeae are tbe common "cuts."
"Floats" are single cat files, and doable
oat files are made by crossing tbe first
cot with a sosond out, thus changing tbe
! parallel, unbroken catting edges of the
I floats Into numerous points.
I When a faoe, or one or more edges on a
file, Is left unoot, It Is said to be ''safe."
i No matter what the form of the file Is,
whether fiat, square, round, half round,
! rat tall, three square or knife edged, tbe
catting is done the same way. A short,
llaht. steel cold chlael, with a broad,
straight catting edge, la usod. Tbe hami
mer la u carloua looking affair, for it la
curved somewhat, and the handle la ini
anted well toward tbe smaller end. Tbe
hammer welgba from one to alx pounds.
, In striking tbe workman gives a peculiar
pulling blow which ralaea tbe ''bur" and
gives tbe particular cut characteristic of
files, and It waa this eat that for nearly
1 800 years prevented Inventors from design*
I lng machinery which would cut a file
I equal to tbe band cut article.
I Tbe workman alta on a low beneb wblcb
i oomea oat from a long wide bench. Before
blm la bis anvil, oaoolly a atone block or
II a slab of Iron. Tbe blanka are held in
; Dlace by straps which pass over the tang
and point, and then form loop or stirrup
undur the anvil. The workman put* bis
foot in the loop, and thm boliii the blank
, secure while be U cutting It. He bold* the
shlsel between tbe linger and thumb of
1 tbe left hand, and after each cut mow the
blank slightly for the next out. He does
i this by lifting tbe chisel oyer tbe bar and
then pressing the point of tbe tool against
tbe raised edge just out, at tbe same time
loosening tbe strap so that tbe blank can
bn moved.
; In cutting small flies or smooth or dead
smooth flies the hammer blows, movement
' of tbe chisel, loosening tho straps, moving
' the blank, tightening tbe strap and strik!
lng tbe next blow ar* done so rapidly thai
they are nearly simultaneous. The float
, cat Is made first, and then the second out
is mada, In making the second cut tbe
workman strikes the chisel with less force,
1 (bus making a shallower out. If the file is
1 to be cut on tbe other side, the cut side Is
laid upon a plate of Jead or pewter to pro1
teot the cutting edges. If the file Is other
than a flat shape, the lead or pewter Is
grooved or hollowed out to fit the shape.
After cutting, tbe flies are hardened, for
i the anncallngmakos the steel so sort that
tbe first uao of tbe file would bend tbe cut
, ting edge*. Soma flies are curved before
being tempered. This is done by beating
| tbe out files to a dull red and bending
tbem to tbe required curve over a wooden
1 block with a wooden mallet. Tbe file* to
be hardened are first covered with a mixi
ture of salt and some sort of carbonaceous
substance. Tbla covering serves a twofold
purpose?It prevents tbe teeth from oxidai
tlon and from losing the carbon In the
. stool, and by fusing indicates tbe proper
1 butt for tampering. It also serves to prevent
crocking when the file is suddenly
plunged into tbe oooling liquid which
gives tbe file the temper.

i will warp man or lacs according to lta
form. This la prevented by giving the file
''aet" In tba other direction before It Is
| tempered, so thit the tendency to warp
actually straightens the file. When the
gteel baa reached the proper beat, the file
U lifted from the fire by the Ung and suddenly
immersed In cold water, and before
It has grown cold it Is withdrawn and pat
in a screw clamp, which keeps It from
carving or bending. The tang is then softened
by sticking it In nioltod lead.aLd then
the file is cleaned, dried and oiled.?Chicago
