On the ? other hand a good road is both a fj money and time saver, a constant gource of economy and a township's | most valuable asset. The ancient Roman roads are for the most part as good to-day as when they were first constructed. The Appian Way, that stretches across the Campagna southward from the Eternal City was laid nut 212 vearn hpfnre the Christian era began. The suburbs and villages have long vanished, but the Via-Appia, bordered by crumbling tombs, runs just as straight and as level as { it did when St. Paul traversed it to preach the new faith, &nd wien the dead Emperor Augustus was borne lifeless back to Rome. It has been well said that the legions conquered not so much by force of arms as by i the magnificent roads they con! structed. While their language, cusI toms and pagan form of worship left | little or no impression on the counj tries they enslaved, yet the races they overpowered absorbed their methods ! of road-making, and thus we now j find all over Europe and the British ( j Isles highways that bid fair to last j j till doomsday. "We have been voted ! plagarists and eopyists in all else that I we have taken from the world that's I old, but we have still to adopt a plan | of construction for paths to tread on. France, England, and in fact, the smallest European hamlet can give us cards and spades and a beating when it comes to building a highway, a b'y; way or a paved street. It is safe to say that more horses are ruined In a year in this country on account of the awful condition of j pavements and dirt roads than are ! worn out in two decades on the other i side of the Atlantic. Aside from overloading?which is I carried to criminal lengths in all the ' large cities of the United States?the j footing provided, or rather not pre! vided, for horses here is simply abomj irtable. As for asphalt, its inventoi , should have a monument erected tc ! his memory that will hold him up to j public ridicule for ages. Satan him self must have devl9ed it to confound : i both man and beast. Every square j ' foot of the stuff spells graft of the , most pronounced brand, and there J was never a surer meaus employed for the rapid eradication of the horse i as a motive power. However any | body of men or municipal committee with any claim to humanity in theix makeup could have approved asphalt as a street covering is incomprehensible to the disinterested observer. Fu ture historians will surely put us down as a race gone mad in the buddins. The material is certainly no1 cheap, nor has it anything like the ! lasting quanities of roughened concrete blocks, granitelike wood pavement, or properly laid and cared foi macadam. It costs millions to lay, and hundreds of thousands of dollars are expended every year in cur cities to keep it full of holes, so that those who have the contracts for relaying make as much out of it as the original constructors. Asphalt a Delusion. If the cost of all the horses that have been injured on asphalt could be collected from city authorities, there is hardly a municipal treasury that would have a dollar left to sup- I ply other improvements. Asphall under certain conditions is as greas> as oiled glass. Flushing it. with cold water is a delusion and a snare. IJ hot water or acids are applied asphall rots or collapses the moment any ab- , normal weight passes over it and the j substance crushes like sawdust, to the i I annoyance of people who ride ovei I I it in vehicles provided with solid I I rubber or pneumatic tires, invented i I after asphalt came into vogue. Nc ! ] sooner is asphalt laid than a troop ' j of navvies are employed to use blaz- i j ing firepans and noisy engines and ! j steam rollers to make repairs. Often i the mess is laid over uneven and j poorly laid stones, in the belief that ! it will hide a multitude of sins. Like the lazy man's wire nail to substitute a screw, asphalt is only an apology for something better that might be depended upon to last a century. A? for the rotten macadamizing and other imitation surfaces put on roads | and Highways in many parts of this country, the whole business is a 1 standing disgrace. Under-drainage is seldom adopted, subsurfaces are hardly ever properly laid down; consequently wheels and axles break, harness carries away, horses strain their legs and tendons, and are urged + ^11 f-Krtir. rto anH r-irinn. ! while this great nation looks calmly on and pays the bill.

Some i times it shows itself in excessive irri- j tability, a sure indication that nerve . force has been exhausted. The double draught, in order to digest the food and carry on the business, has been more than nature could stand without being thrown cut of balance. Nature does not do two things at a time, anil do both well, as a rule. All know that when a force is divided it is weakened. If the meal were eaten slowly, without preoccupation of the mind, and the stomach allowed at least half an hour's chance to get its work well undertaken before the nervous force is turned in another direction patients suffering from dyspepsia would be comparatively few.?Family Doctor.

The railway station of Bragulia (Servia) is so infested with snakes that special precautions are takeu when trains stop there to prevent the reptiles from entering the compartments.

Driven Far by Storm. Driven by the wind over an ocean and half a continent, a West Indian heron fell into the yard of James E. Davis, 1433 Clay street. The heron, it is thought, was carried from an island in the West Indies by the hurricane that swept the South recently, and the edge of which hit Cincinnati. The bird was e<chasted when it fell into Davis' yard, and lay on its back for some time before it was discovered. Davis carried the bird into his home, warmed it and fed it, and as soon as it was revived it struggled desperately to be gone again. Davis says he will keep the bird. The Natural Hi6tory Society pronounced it to be a fine specimen oX the West Indian heron. Its colors are green and brown, it has a beak three inches long, and when it takes the kinks out of its neck that part of its body is about two feet long. The visitor from a far off land has found a home on Clay street, where a large cage is being constructed for, if Plnflinnoti Pnct AGONIZING ITCHING. Eczema For a Year?Got No Relief Even at Skin Hospital?In Despair Until Cuticura Cured Him. "I was troubled by a severe itching and dry, scurfy skin on my ankles, feet, anu and Bcalp. Scratching made it worse. Thousands of small red pimples formed and these caused intense itching. I was advised to go to the hospital for diseases of the skin. I did so, the chief surgeon saying: 'I never saw such a bad case of eczema.' But I got little or no relief. Then I tried many so-called remedies, but I became 60 bad that I almost gave up in despair. After suffering agonies for twelve months, I was relieved of the almost unbearable itching after two or three applica tions of Cuticura Ointment. I continued its use, combined with Cuticura Soap and Pills, and I was completely cured. Henry Searle, Cross St., Little Rock, Ark., Oct. 3 and 19, 3907." Potter Drug & Chem.
