DAYS GONE BY. Oh, the dayi gone by t Ob, the days gone by J The applea in the orchard and the pathway through the rye, The chirrup of the robin, and the whistle of the quail Aa he piped across the meadow3 ewect as any nightingale; When the bloom was on the clover and the blue was in the sky, And my happy heart brimmed over is the days gone by. In the days gone by, when my naked feet were tripped By the honeysuckle tangles where the water lilies dipped, And the ripple of the river lipped the moss along the brink Where the placid eyed and lazy footed cattle came to drink, And the tilting snipe stood fearless of the truant's wayward cry, And the splashing of the swimmer in the days gone by. Oh, the days gone by! Oh, the days gone by! The music of the laughing lip, the luster of the eye, The childish faith in fairies and Aladdin's magic ring, The Bimple, soul reposing, glad belief in everything, When life was like a story, holding neither sob nor sigh Ln the golden, olden glory of the days gone by. ?James Whitcomb Eiley. A HEALTHY MAN. Here Are the Point* That Go to DUke 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 apparently crazy human machines last a surprisingly long time. First, your body and limbs should be plump, but the plumpness should be of the firm and muscular, not the fleshy type. Your figure ought to bo erect, and, whether you are tall or short, well proportioned. Length without breadth is a very bad thing in a man, for there is no room for vital organs largo enough to thoroughlj perform their duties. Your step should be springy and elastic, your ?ait ten and easy. These things in dicate muscles of good quality and nerve of good tone. Your eye should be bright and neither prominent nor hollow. Bright eyes show that the circulation of blood in the brain is good. Your complexion should be clear and fresh. It is usually not well with you when your face is pale, sallow, florid 01 subject to sudden flushings. But In this matter your occupation has great influence, and you might have the worst possible complexion and be in perfect health. But that, of course, is the exception, not the rule. Your head should not be very large, 01 at least if it is large your nek, shoulders and chcst ought to correspond in size. II you feel your pulse, it ehrtuld bo regular; if it drops a beat now and again or beats very fast and exeitedly after the least-exertion or emotion then the heart is weak. Your breathing should bo tranquil and inaudible. Any sounds meia that the passages are more or less clogged. You should not; know you have a stomach?that is to Bay, as a rule. Of course there are times when that organ gets out of order in the healthiest individual, and then it is always suro to make its owner aware of its existence. You should always, except when tho weather is bitterly cold, feel comfortably warm through youi whole body, even to the tips of the fingers and toes. Otherwise something is wrong with the circulation ortho heat producing apparatus.. You should have sound sleep, without dreams orw nightmares, and it should not last too long or too short?say, eight to eight and a half hours every night. Your voice should not be hoarse, and you should be a stranger to 6ore throats. Your appetite should not be too great 01 too small, while you should not be a sufferer from headaches, giddiness or neuralgia, and, of course, you should not have palpitations or faintings or varicose veins. If you answer to the above description, you have neither disease of the brain, spinal 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 the same time many a round shouldered, narrow chested, thin and sallow man is as tough as steel, works hard and lives till he is almost tired of the world, and, of course, even the healthiest of us must go through a course of colds, coughs, headaches, dyspepsia attacks and the like. Still, li your cnest is wiuhji 1x1 pi-upux uiuu to the rest of your body you are likely tc have less stamina, and you should not overdo such thing9 as football, cycling 01 even brain work.?New York World. He Did His Best. In an Aberdeen bookshop an old lad; was inquiring for a copy of the Bible, and the shopkeeper brought forward one at half a crown. But the old lady wanted something cheaper. A copy at 18 pence was produced containing illustrations. But the illustrations, the old lady averred, entailed superfluous expenditure. "Then, here," 6aid the shopkeeper, "ii a copy for a shilling which contains a' that's necessary for salvation." He descended from the ladder and laid it before his customer. "But hae ye no something a wee bit cheaper?" asked the old lady. "\Vumman, wuminan," said the shopman, "ca' upon the Almichty to come down and sell ye his ain publications, foi I can 'dae nao mairl"?London Chronicle. A Financial Shake. "Good morning Mr. Toney.

"Oh, nothing in particular, 'only I thought if you shook bad I'd like to stand by and see if you couldn't shake the 15 shillings out of your pockct which you have owed me 60 long!"?London Standard.

The importance of good roads and their value to each district having them have long been advocated, but not until recent years has the public been awakened to their full slgnlfl cance. 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 fanners 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 huck sters. "Jersey mud," a clay loam, is proverbial for Its stickiness and disagree able nature to travel through when wet, says the Putnam (Conn.) Patriot The Jersey farmer knows the value of a dollar and is opposed to taxes, but he could reckon the difference between what he lost daily 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 godd road was built and those near it 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. This year 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 de-. 1 clares that this movement has Incronsfld the tnrnhlo nrnnprhr fit thA state by $27,000,000. Just think of that! BAY STATE ROADS.' . ; | Some Fact* About the Highways of Maiaachaietti. It costs on an average $9,000 per , mile to build a state road in Massai chusetts, says the Boston Globe, but 1 the actual cost depends on locality and conditions, hardly two cases being i alike. One-fourth of the cost of a state road is borne by the county In which it is situated, the balance being , contributed by the state. The work of the highway commission has developed a number of high class professional roadbuildera. Many of . the younger and more ambitious have entered the employ of the national government in Cuba, Porto Rico and the fhllippines in trie same line or wont. yi , Most of the state roads are of broken , stone, but a few are of graveL The . type of road built is determined by the ' engineer, who makes careful examinatlon of soils, drainage, gravel, stone, i grades and traffic. 1 The thickness of stone on state roads varies from four to sixteen inches, the lesser being placed over good gravel or sand, the greater over heavy cl$y. The broken Atone 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 bottdm, the second size on top of this and the crown is made with half inch material. All are rolled1 separately and thop, oughly. The cost of trap rock for roadbuilding varies from $1.10 per ton to $1.00 , per ton. The state owns seventeen steam rollers, which are employed in state roadbuildlng.' The standard | width of stone roadwfeys in Massachusetts built by the commission is fifteen feet There are gome only ten ana twelve feet wide, bnt they are not deemed economical to maintain. i When a state road Is constructed. It 1 remains tinder the control of the state highway commission. . The local authorities are taxed an amount not to exceed $50 per mile for maintenance. FOR BETTER ROADS. Men of Wealth Interested In HighI wfy Improvement. 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 i the public highways In the vicinity of Lakewood, N. J., and Colonel J. J. As1 tor has spent large sums on the roads near Poughkeepsie, N. Y. Recently Harley T. Proctor, a sum! mer resident of Willlamstown, Mass., offered to give the town $10,000 for the improvement of the roads, providing the latter raises $50,000 for the i same purpose. Mr. Proctor makes the gift because he believes that better . '- * roads would increase 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 .J. road scraper. v *8 The Secret of a Good Road. A hard surface, well rounded bo that the water will run off quickly, is the secret of a good road. Attention after a road is once permanently built is im! perative so that the washed out places and depressions where water stands may be repaired. A little timely work will keep a road in good shape. Civilization and Good Roada. There1 Is perhaps no better test of the life of a civilization than that to be found in the extent and character of its public big&ways. xne aegree 01 perfection of country roads corresponds closely to the degree of civilization where the roads are situated. j?. afl/ I C'j On the steep Hill of Difficulty, in "! the Valley of the shadow, amid the * -S LI crash of a universe smitten into in5; distinguishable ruin, "Thoushalt keep 'Ihini in perfect peace whose mind is J stayed on thee!"?Canon Farrar. j Let us only be patient; and let God r our Father teach his own lesson his own way.
