While the autoist speeds along swimingly, and the folks adjacent to these splendid highways enjoy riding over same, their brothers over in other parts of the county, whose taxes are just as heavy, and as willingly paid, have to trundle along over roads so badly washed in places as to be almost im passable, anl where the roads are nothing like what they should be.

A certain Somerset vicar made him self notorious by (lie vigor with which in the seventeenth century, he inveighed against the use of the new ly invented optic glasses, since they perverted vision and made all things appear in an unnatural and therefore a false light. Microscopes and tele scopes, with their array of lenses he declared to be impostors, since a man could not see so well with two pair of spectacles as with one. Some assert ed it to be sinful to assist the eyes, which were adapted by Providence to the capacity of the individual, whether ?.>od, bad or indifferent. "It was argued that society at large would become demoralized by the use of spectacles; the would give one man an unfair advantage over his fellow, and every' man an unfair advantage over every woman, who could not be expected on aesthetic and Intellectual grounds to adoat the nractice."
