''There is no rcaaon for doubting the literal acouracy of the Hilde's reckoning. The- conditions of antedc luvian humanity wero such as to per mit tho length of individual lifo alleged in tho Bible. There were, we kuow, giants in those days. Thc aui mals, too, were of stupendous and colossal propirtions, as tho bones dis covered in the earth's strata fully attest. We must apply different measures and different criteria to thc beings of that era. "If the men were giants their or-I ganisuis wero naturally stronger and their health infinitely better. It could not well be otherwise. The climate of Mesopotamia (the oradle of j the human race) is even now mild, warm, beneficent and favorable to | longevity. Thon it was much moro so.

I?J?C?: Track l?oailv Mr. Martin Dodge, of the United j States Agricultural Department, de scribes in thc New irork Herald a novel, economical and serviceable I roadway. The importance of thc road problem is dst plainly shown by the statement that wc are "continually paying au avoidable road tax of moro than $050,000,000 annually for thc privilege of driving over muddy or dusty roads," thia sum representing a tax of "moro thau $7 each for every man, woman and child in thc coun try." And Mr. Dodge then remarks that, while good Btone for road build ing is scarce, good clays are found in every locality. It follows that if j these abundaut clays ^ .v bc used eco- j noniically lo build good roads they j will assisi greatly to solve thc prob* ? lcm of providing a general system of good roads. It is believed that they j eau beso employed in the coustrue-? 1 tion of brick tracks for the wagon I .>. ii leis alone to rua e.:. AU loads, ' j says Mr. Dodge, arc hauled over very ' j narrow parts of roads, through wheel j contact, as shown by railroad ears ' j for example, lt follows than if such narrow strips only of our reads arc j chi i!y constructed to properly resist ; thc woichi a sid grind of the wagon wheels, tho desired ?v?ui.lit will bc at tained. Mxperimcutal sections ol' I brick track road built in the early part of 1?O0 have given encouraging I results. Tiic, important features >t such roads arc that they can be built i '"for afractiou of thecost of a stone ? road or street, and they can probably he maintained for a tenth of the re- . pair expenses." At. the same time ; they obviate thc i'ormatijti of ruts, ! dust aod mud due to thc grinding of j thc wagon wheels on stone streets, j and the mud-holes and dust of our j eurtb roa^s. A remarkable statement is that far i heavier loads eau be hauled by thc same force ou these roads than on good stone roads; but'it is twice re peated. In one place it is stated that "four to five times thc load can bc hauled on them" that can be hauled on a stone road or street, and in anoth er it is said: "Near Buffalo on upward of a mile of brick track road built uext to stone roads built by thc State, nearly four times tho load can bc hauled with the same team force." A special feature ot' the road is that tho bricks which form the "Hacks" are j so placed as to bring tho upper edge CHRISTMAS And we would be pleased to sel We have everything kept by a F prices that will make you think we stol?
