Iu meny coun.rles hedges and trees are planted along ihe algh ways, even fruit trees, that tbey weary ind worn traveler may not only find cooling >haJe from the summer's sun, but delicious irultstoeat. Our country at large would do well to profit by such a sensible and praise worthy example. Road commissioners when urofking the roads should not only cut down iecayed timber, but should trim up shade trees to be lett. Let us bear from the people >n this subject?shade or do shade.

And tlie spiasning or tue swimmer in me ubji gone by. Oh, tho clays gone by! Oh, tho days gone by I The music of the laughing lip, the luster of the eye, The childish faith in fairies and Aladdin's magic ring, The simple, soul reposing, glad belief In everything, When life was like a story, holding neither sob nor sigh In the golden, olden glory of the days gone by. ?James Whitcomb Riley. A HEALTHY MAN. Here Are the Points That Go to Mak? a Centenarian. Here are the points of a healthy man. If you have them all you may, barring accidents, count on being a centenarian. If you have most of them, you'll reach a ripe old age, but even if you have only a few don't be alarmed, for many apparent-' lrr fTrtw Vinmnn m/i/-hinps 1n.esf, a fiiirnrifi- I ingly long time. First, your body and limbs should be plump, but tke plumpness should be of the firm and muscular, not the fleshy type. Your figure ought to bo erect, and, whether you aro tall or short, well proportioned.. Length without breadth is a very bad thing in a man, for there is no room for vital organs large enough to thoroughly perform their duties. Your step should be springy and elastic, your gait firm and easy. These things indicate muscles of good quality and nerve of good tone. Your eye should be bright and neither prominent nor hollow. Bright eyes show that tho circulation of blood in tho brain is good. Your complexion should be clear and fresh. It is usually not well with you when your face is pale, sallow, florid or subject to sudden flushings. But In this matter vour occunntion has srreat influ ence, and you might have the worst possible complexion and bo in perfect health. But that, of course, is the exception, not the rule. Your head should not be very large, or at least if it is large your neck, shoulders and chest ought to correspond in size. If you feel your pulse, it should be regular; if it drops a beat now and again or beats very fast and excitcdly after the least exertion or emotion then the heart is weak. Your breathing should be tranquil and inaudible. Any sounds mean that the passages are more or less clogged. You should not know you have a stomach?that is to say, as a rule. Of course there are times when that organ gets out of order in tho healthiest individual, and then it is always 6ure to mako its owner aware of its existence. You should always, except when tho weather is bitterly cold, feel comfortably warm through your whole body, even to the tips of the fingers and toes. Otherwise something is wrong with the circulation or the heat producing apparatus. You should have sound sleep, without dreams or nightmares, and it should not last too long or too 6hort?say, eight to eight and a half hours every night. Your voice should not be hoarse, and you should be a stranger to sore throats. Your appetite 6hould not be too great or too small, while you should not be a sufferer from headaches, giddiness or neuralgia, and, of course, you should not have palpitations or faintingsor varicose veins. If you answer to the above description, you have neither disease of the brain, 6pinal cord, heart, lungs, liver, stomach, muscles or nerves, and you are in as perfect health as it is possible for human beings to be. But at tho same time many a round cVmiilrlornd. narrow chested, thin and sal low man is as tough as steel, works hard and lives till ho is almost tired of tho world, and, of course, even the healthiest of us must go through a course of colds, coughs, headaches, dyspepsia attacks and tho like. Still, if your chest is small In proportion to the rest of your body you are likely to have less 6tamina, and you should not overdo such things as football, cycling or even brain work.?New York World.

V"' ;-'vv r^. VAt.UE" OF* GOOD" ROADS: " Effect of Highway Improvement In New Jersey. The importance of good roads and their value to each district having tliem have long been advocated, but not until recent years has the public been awakened to their full significance. After all, it was not by argument that the public was convinced, but from necessity in the beginning and then by example. The state of New Jersey is wedged in between New York and Pennsylvania, with one of the great cities of the country on its eastern borders and the second largest city on its western borders. Its farmers are mainly engaged in raising truck for the millions of people living in those two cities. To do this thousands of them drive to each city daily with a load of truck, starting in the morning anywhere from 12 to 4 o'clock to get to the markets early enough for the hucksters. "Jersey mud," a clay loam, is proverbial for its stickiness and disagreeable nature to travel through when wet, says the Putnam (Conn.) Patriot The Jersey farmer knows the value of u uuiiui uuu jo uyjyuaeu iu iuakb, udi ue could reckon the difference between what he lost dally by reason of bad roads and the tax he would have to pay for building a smooth rock road. That having been worked out, one good road was built and those near ft got to market regularly and easily, rain or shine, saving enough each trip to pay the road tax. "Seeing is believing," and farmers in other parts became convinced of their economy, and the example was followed, slowly at first but gradually going on more rapidly. Last year 100 miles of new roads were built in that state at a cost of about $500,000. Thisvyear the demand for them is so great that the state will, the coming year, venture to put $1,000,000 into 200 miles of macadam! The state commissioner of public roads declares that this movement has inAMnn MA/1 lw\ 4ornKlA nHonnTif T? nf ti'CUDCU LUC laAUUlC IJ Ui. tuv state by $27,000,000. Just think of that! BAY STATE ROADS. Some Facta About the Highways of , Masiachnsetts. It costs on an average $9,000 per mile to build a state road In Massachusetts, says the Boston Globe, but the actual cost depends on locality and conditions, hardly two cases being alike. One-fourth of the cost of a state road is borne by the county In which it is situated, the balance being contributed by the state. The work of the highway commission has developed a number of high class professional roadbuilders. Many of the younger and more ambitious have entered the employ of the national government in Cuba, Porto Rico and the Philippines in the same line of work. Most of the state roads are of broken Ktir o fatrr nro rtf cm vol. Th<* OIVUU, L/Ut U XV Tl ?** v v? , _ type of road built is determined by the engineer, who makes careful examination of soils, drainage, gravel, stone, grades and traffic. The thickness of stone on state roads varies from four to sixteen inches, the letser being placed over good gravel or sand, the greater over heavy clay. The broken stone used on state roads passes through half Inch, Inch and a half and two and a half inch screens. The largest size is placed on the bottom, the second size on top of this and the crown is made with half inch material. All are rolled separately and thoroughly. The cost of trap rock for roadbuilding varies from $1.10 per ton to $1.60 per ton. The state owns seventeen steam rollers, which are employed in state roadbullding. The standard width of stone roadways in Massachusetts bui\t by the commission Is fifteen feet There are some only ten and twelve feet wide, but they are not deemed economical to maintain. When a state road Is constructed, it remains under the control of the state highway commission. The local authorities are taxed an amount not to 3 ~ ?

Men of wealth are evincing a practical interest in road improvement for the benefit of their fellow men. George Gould has offered to bear one-third of the entire cost of the Improvement of the public highways in the vicinity of Lakewood, N. J., and Colonel J. J. Astor has spent large sums on the roads near Poughkeepsie, N. Y. Recently Harley T. Proctor, a summer resident of Williamstown, Mass., offered to give the town $10,000 for the improvement of the roads, providing the latter raises $50,000 for the same purpose. Mr. Proctor makes the gift because he believes that better roads would ioprease the popularity of Williamstown as a summer resort He recently had the stone hill road put in excellent condition at a cost of $500. The town furnished the drainage pipes and permitted Mr. Proctor to use the road scraper. The Secret or a uooa noau. A bard surface, well rounded so that the water will run off quickly, is the secret of a good road. Attention after a road is once permanently built is imperative so that the washed out places and depressions where water stands may be repaired. A little timely work will keep a road iu good shape. Civilization and Good Road*. There is perhaps no better test of the life of a civilization than that to be found in the extent and character of its public highways. The degree of perfection of Country roads corresponds closely to the degree of civilization where the roads are situated. A. B. WARl)LAW, Dentist. Ollice over Kendall'*) ytorr.

Can Boast of Some of the"Be?t Road* In the World?The Employment ol Convict* on tie Highways of North Carolina. Among the many interesting and valuable articles published in a recent number of Harper'9 Weekly was the following on highway improvement in the south: One of the most important, but least conspicuous, movements in the new south is-that being made in behalf of good country roads. About lifteen years ago there was a general revival of interest in the building df country roacfe< and now many communities in the south have systems of roads of which they justly feel proud. Even North Carolina, long known aa the Rip Van Winkle of the southern states, has at last awakened and Is giving lessons to the outside world in the construction of good roads. It is "* Macadamized eoad in north cabolina. no exaggeration to say that the roads of Mecklenburg county, N. C? are the best to be found in the entire south. The county of Mecklenburg Is near the South Carolina line, and is pierced by that division of the Southern railroad which extends from Washingtop to Atlanta. The county seat is Charlotte, a progressive city of thirty thousand inhabitants. Within a radius of one hundred miles of this city there are three hundred cotton factories, comprising more than half of the spindles and looms operated in the south. In 1S90 the authorities of the county conceived the Idea of utilizing the convicts for the Improvement of the public roads. Instead of locking up offenders in the county jail or sending them to the penitentiary it was decided to employ them at home In Improving the highways. A law was passed authorizing the use of convicts foe this purpose. The'convicts were organized into a equad or camp, placed under the control of a competent supervisor and engineer, and the work of grading, straightening and macadamizing the roads was begun. A short experience demonstrated that the convict laborers cost the county only 25 cents per day per head, including food, lodging, clothing and overseeing. The outfit for the road work, consisting of a steam roller, crusher, bins, portable engine, road machine ^nd a screen 'for assorting the rocks, cost about $5,000. At present the county has in operation two road outfits and employs about sixty convicts with each outfit The total expenditure In constructing each mile of macadamized road ii from $1,600 to $2,500, not including bridges. In summer the convicts live In tents along the road, and in winter they live In barracks. The rock usea ror tne roaas is oougm from the farmers, who haul and deposit Jt at the convict camp. These roads have been In process of construction for twelve years at the rate of about ten miles per year. At present there are more than 100 miles of macadamized roads In the county. The roads radiate In all directions from the center of 'Charlotte and extend ten or fifteen miles to the county limits. The roads of this county have become so famous that delegations from many other states have come here to Inspect them. Many good roads organizations exist In the south. Professor J. A. Holmes of the University of North Carolina has traveled In many states, giving Illustrated lectures on road construction and organizing good roads clubs.

In the Improvement of earth roads one very Important essential often overlooked Is the necessity for drainage to carry off the surplus water before it can soak into the surface, says Good Roads Magazine. Good roads can be constructed even in a prairie country, and by the adoption of Improved methods Immediate recovery from the effects of beavy rains may be insured. Tile draining is very effective, and with even a shallow dressing of crushed stone or gravel on the surface of an earth road wonderful Improvement can be secured. Should Laat For Age*.

If this is not done, the money spent 1b more than wasted. It la more economical, as a rule, to bring good materials a long distance by rail or water than to employ inferior ones procured close atr hand. Serviceable For Country Road*. Burned gumbo is a very serviceable material for use on country roads. It is not as durable as crushed stone, but is superior to dirt.
