Since mankind constructol society and
became distributed over the world roads
hare been necessary to the existence and
E ogress of the race. From the time of
oses there hare been royal roads.
First the Egyptians, utterarar-ls tho
Israelites snd then the Greeks espied their
lines of travel that were not tisod for
anaaial ndemtaua llrAval rnn lo'' g\r tho

king's highways. In Greece the royal
roads wore inspected nnd caro l for by
the senate at Athens. In Lacedo.nonia,
Thebes and othor States they were under
the supervisian of tho most eminent men.
Their roads, however, wore not tho best
of tho ancients'. It was reserved for a
commeicial city, Carthage, to build tho
Gret paved roads.
Tho Romans followed the example oi
the Carth&giuians. and these great highways,
which connected Rome with its
provinces, were the most renowned and
durable over constructed. All over
Europe, Asia and Aftica, wherever tueir
Emperors ruled, they built roads that
have been supposed by tho ignorant of
different ages to bo of supernatural
jPKfe continued existence of some of
tihe.se wonderful roads thousands of years
after their completion has proved the
skill aud greatness of the master minds
which planned aud built them. Tho
Kornau via Appia, tho via Aurclia, tile
via Fiatninia, the roads to tho Rhine and
the Danube, and the 4000 mile* of road
from the Wall of Antoninus in Great
Britain through Koine to Jerusalem still
reveal lessons of construction worthy of
tho study of the road builder* of the
nineteenth century. They were accurately
divided by milestones,and ran in a
direct line from one city to auother, with
very little respect for the obstacle* of
nature or private property. The middle
part was raised iiito a toraeo and conaisled
of several strata of sand, gravel
and oeuiont, and was paved with largo
stones, wilich, near the capital, were of
granite.
Adam Smith's assertion that 4,tho
construction of rovls is the groatest of
nil improvements," and the saying of tho
Abby Keynal that "wherever we shall
tiud no facility of travel from a city to a
town or from a village to a htunlct wc
may prououuee tho people to be barbarians"
have long,especially in Europe,
been accepted by ininkin I. Iliads are
the acknowledged civilizer* of tho
world.
American* who tlnd themselves in
[Europe are struck with a-touishmeut at
the enormous loads dtawu by horses and
dog*. Ouo glance of the eye from the
loads to the roads and half the wonder
would be uncounted for, because the
roads have almost everything to do with
it. Tho ancients knew and appreciated
tho importance of good public roads.
'.Many of tho roads built by the aucient
'Koiuans and traveled by the proud
Jlioiuau conqueror* remain to this day.
This is particularly tho case 111 Turkey,

era, been in use, with little or no repair.
Roads in Europe lire quite usually
flunked on either side l?y two nud sometimes
four rows of slunk* trees, which add
much beauty to thecountry through'which
they run and from a distance are particularly
picturesque where several roads intersect.
One can mark the roads in tin ir
windings sometimes as far as the eye can
reach by these fresh green shade trees,
which, with the various teams ol horses
and dogs laden with the products <>(
farms, mines and shop, conspire to make
a very pretty scene. The public roads
of llulgiuut enter into successful coiupetiou
with the railroads, so much so that
a man who has his team does not by any
inuans consider himself forced to send
his products by rail.
One can mouut his wagon at the English
Channel and drive through tile
breadth of Europe (except in time of
mow), or its length, without sinking as.

mud, in any weather at any time of the

factory an i the farm are cut o'l from t!ie

injuries to horses by bid roads in the
United Stales would amount to an immcn-c
sum of money if statistics could be
path red and formulated. Railroads,
iiUo, are directly interested in good
country run Is. Whatever opens up the
remote farm lot for easy hauling to the
railroad station, or brings an additional
aero of arable land nearer to the city,
cheapens the market for the poorest and
increases the volume* of trade and corn
merco for all.
The French roads have compelled the
helper and admiration of foroignors for
a century, and of all the roads in the
country those considered the most cxecl
lent and at the same time most dillicult
of maintenance happen to lie in the most
rugged ot the Alps, with their peaks for
ever snowclad and rising to a height of
li,ubO leet. These Alpine roads aro
numerous of easy grade, solidly built,
always open and al vays good save when
temporarily blocked with sno v. Thoj

it is only in to vns that piviug
stones are use I. A serious objection to
the use of the la'tor in cities lies in the
ready weapons which they a'lord in the
hauds of mobs during periods of riot.
No part of t tic road system is neg
lectod; the routes arc divided intc
sections of half a mile to three miles in
length, according to the importance ol
the roil, < r i of which ;s entitle I to a

he was asked how ho liko I the r oa W in

In no country in the world is the construction
of roadwav* carried nut with
more scientific lit and tunrougnucss
than in Switzcrlnud. The mountainous
naturo of the country, the consequent
difficulty of providing means of easy
communication between points an 1 110
severe tests to which roads arc subjected
by tlio violunceof stor ms and the sudden
swelling of water courses, have from tho
earliest period rendered the ?u'i? of
road building one of primary importance
to tho dwellers in tho Alps.
One of tho greatest charms of English
scenery to the American visitor is the
beauty of its bolgcliued, sto r.-b : He 1
roads. Much of England's scenery
would be nothing without them. Tins
country roads in Ireland su f r materially
from comparisons with the roads in Eng
land ami Wales, but as co:nparcd with
the average country road in the United
Htutes they scum to approximate closely
to perfection. The c ourse describe I by
the country roads in Ireland is most irregular
and even tortuous, tho apparent
purpose being to avoid the points of tho
compass, but they are none the less
beautiful on that account.
In South America there are hardly any
roads worthy of the name. (,'ominunication

FLORIDA'S TRAGEDY.
A Whole Family Was Exterminated.
Deli?eiI? Women and Children
Brutally Murdered by Ruthleee
Hand*. Looking
for the Fiend*.
Jacksonville, Fla., [Special. 1?The
latest developments in the horrible tragedy
at Nee Smyrna, in which Mrs. L.
D. Hatch (formerly of Maino), her young
on, Miss Adelaide H. Bruce, of New
York, and Frank Packwood, Jr., aged
four, only make the case more mysterious
than ever.
The scene of the murder is a beautiful
and romautic spot, seven iniles below
Smyrna, or half way between Smyrna and
Oak Hill. A ^rewsome fatality seems to
have clung to it, for it was here that the
Shives faiuily?father, 6on, wife and
baby?were murdered by the Indians in
the war of 1856. The house where this
later day murder was perpetrated is on
the site of those ruins. It stands on n
shell mound thirty feet above the Hills
uv/i yj i i * vi | uuvi vvuiiiiauvi* a uin^uiuv/vuv
view of the two graceful sweeps of that
stream.
WHERE THE DEED WAS DOME.
On this mound are two houses; one
house of two rooms was used for n dining
room and kitchen. A house of the
same size twenty steps away is where the
deed was committen. These houses are
shaded and surrounded by ancient cedars,
fir trees, oaks, palmettos and palms,
back or west of the house is a dense hammock
with a fiat pine and beyond.
Saturday at 10 o'clock iu the morn
ing, the murder was discovered and i
horrible picture it was. On her back by
the window in a pool of blood, Mrs.
Hatch lay with a pistol ball wound oc
the inside corner of her left eye.
Her face was blackened with powder
Th-i other bodies lay near her. Whet
the crash camo she had evidently beer
naar the window. When the murderei
entered, her little son, frenzied witl
fright, had probably fled as a child woulc
and had sought refuge iu tho bed clothei
of a lounge at the end of the room. H<
was torn from these, shot over the lofi
eye and his throat cut from ear to ear.
thkir awpuii work comi*letb.
On the bed lay the body of Miss Bruce
shot through the face and her head terri
bly bruised by blows from a gun stock
the shattered remains of which showei
the force of the murderous blows. Sin
had been beaten all over the body
Nearby lay pretty Frank Packwood witl
his throat cut.
Mr. Packwood had gone to Orltudo
in South Florida, the day before Th
murderers probably watched his de
parture.
A posse of one hundred armed mei
have been out since Saturday morning
but no trace of the murderers has ye
been secured. It was tirst thought tha
the crime was the work of tramps, bu
this delusion was subsequently dispellei
by finding a trail leading arouud th
yard to the north and theu through th
hammock, south to the load, a path tha
none could travel unless ho was fainilia
with the country. Mr. Packwood ha
suspicions, and will give them to th
coroner's jury only, when it is expectei
that several arrests will be made.

There is more catarrh in this section of the M
country than all other diseases put together,
and until the last few years was supposed to
be Incurable. For u ureal many years doctors
}>ronounced it a local disease, and prescribed I
ocal remedies, aud by constantly failing to wi
cure with local treatment, pronounced it 'ncurable.
Science ban proven catarrh to be a A.
constitutional disease, anil therefore requires '
constitutional treatment. Hall's Catarrh Cure, U1
manufactureil by F. .1 Cbeney A Co., Toledo, I

is August Flower for ?" As easily i
answered as asked : It is for Dys\
pepsia. It is a special remedy for
a the Stomach and Liver. Nothing
v more than this; but this brimful.

* have reasons for knowing it. Twenty ?
years ago it started in a small country 1
