GOOD HOAD MACHINES THEY ACCOMPLISH WONDERS AND SOON PAY FOR THEMSELVES. Imsiiif II. Fuller &;i\» Kvery ( onn i f > UiNtrirt Slionld Have One.

Tlio season is at hand when the prac- : tieal side of roadmakinK will receive : * Its due attention, and the knowledge and energy acquired by the winter’s agitation will be called Into play. If is not necessary, much less is it possi ble, to buiid macadam and telford roads through all of the farming dis tricts, and if the country pathmasters could be made to understand the great difference In results which follow dif ferent methods of "working the road” and that good drainage and good ma chinery will together accomplish won ders without an extravagant expendi ture of funds the solution of the coun try road question would be vastly pro gressed, says Isaac B. Potter in Good Boads. Every country road district should have at least one good road machine BOAD MACHINE FUEPAB1NO EAIITH ROAD or grader. It will do the work of thir ty or more men when the conditions are such as to give the machine half a chance. It costs but a few hundred dollars, will save thousands, makes a better road than is commonly made by manual labor. is but few repairs | and rarelv gels out of order. More- ! # over, it cuts out the roots from the weedy patches a!' :;g the roadside and forms a gutter which receives and car ries off th' 1 surface water and If faith fuily employed will more Ui;.n pay for itself in a single season. Then, too. in the matter of gravel and stone a few hours’ exploration in most neighborhoods will bring to light plenty of material that is vastly superior for roadmaking purposes to that found in the lints of the adjacent roadways. Most of this material has rested in its original bed for ages and is substantial ly worthless for any purpose aside from the work of the roadmaker. If gravel, it should be clean, sharp ami gritty, and if not naturally of this quality it should be cleaned as fully as possible by passing it through a cheap screen with moderately coarse meshes. Before being put in the road, unless the original soil is of a dry. sandy or porous nature, a line of three inch draintile should be laid beneath the roadway and about four feet deep if possible, for, although this is not com monly regarded as necessary according to the established American practice, it adds vastly to the permanence of the roadway and insures its dryness at times when the gravel would otherwise disappear in the soft mud beneath. Where stone of fair quality can be easily obtained, a macadam road is neither very costly nor very difficult of construction. It is a common notion among farmers that the construction of a road on the macadam plan is a com plicated, difficult and expensive under taking. Nothing could be further from the truth. A few intelligent farmers, equipped with a few hundred dollars’ worth of machinery, can make a mac adam road as permanent and efficient as could be desired. The same engine that drives a steam thrasher will operate a stone crusher, and stone crushers are becoming not only popular, but indispensable to the roadmnking outfit of every Intelligent rural community. Great quantities of field stoue can be selected from amoug the harder bowlders which lie so abun dantly upon the surface in many of our counties, and if each farmer who npw works out his road tax in the old fashioned way would contribute a few dollars to the purchase of a crusher and give a little of bis time to the haul- log of stone to the town stone heap he would be both amazed and gratified at the speed with which the stone breaker would convert those bowlders Into great heaps of road metal, ripe and ready for a place in the Improved road way. - * — A practical attempt at this kind of improvement in towns where the wealth of the community Is not suffi cient to warrant expensive work under the direction of an engineer will lead to the most salutary results and by an object lesson prove to the users of pub lic highways that the biggest tax ever Imposed upon the rural population of the icuntry has been the tax of tho mud road. Good Roods Are tho Cheapest. One main fact of the whole good roads question deserves to he empha sized — the permanence of the high ways after they have once been well built, says the Baltimore News.

An Unconcerned Mother. A curious incident occurred a day or two ago on an elevated train. Two women and a boy entered and found every seat occupied. A kind hearted young woman, who was seated, took the boy, a sturdy little fellow of five years or so. on her lap. knowing that it is even harder for a child to stand than for a grown person. She held him for some time, and then the mother and friend were enabled to get seats oppo site. Naturally the volunteer nurse prepared to resign her charge, expect ing that his mother would call him to her lap. Not a bit of it!

It measured 4 feet 3 inches long and 3 feet 2 Inches broad. Tbe ca pacity of these fish for devouring large quantities of food is something marvelous, but the peculiar thing is that they change the usual order of things, for instead of tbe bird catching tbe fish, in this instance tbe fish catches the bird and makes a meal of him.

THE AGITATION FOR GOOD HIGH WAYS IN THE SOUTH. AKsnelntionn OrKnnizod nnd Conventions Held—The Jefferson Memorial Hiuliivn) — lliir.nn nnd Governor Montague on Good Roads. If the people of the southern states do not have good roads in the near fu ture and plenty of them, it won’t be their fault. They are doing everything in the'r power to secure better high ways, and the matter has been taken 1 up by some of their most promiueut men. including General Fitz-Hugb Lee. During the past winter county good roads associations have been formed, i conventions held and thousands inter ested in the work of the trains touring the south giving lessons iu good road building. The recent convention held at Char lottesville, Va., was significant as evi dencing the rapidly growing recogni tion of the good roads movement throughout the country. The conven- ! tion marked the end of the tour of the Southern railway “good roads train,” which left Washington last October carrying roadbuilding machinery and road experts and made official stops at many points. The train carried many carloads of ponderous roudmakiug ma chinery. A single one of these ma chines. just by way of illustration, is able to move 2,400 cubic feet of earth in a day. The train covered some 5,000 miles, congregated over 50,000 people and constructed about tbirty-four miles of sample road. Men of national reputation spoke at the convention, addressing an audience of 2,000 or 3,000 people throughout the greater part of three days, and a road to be known when it is completed as the Jefferson Memorial road, running from Charlottesville about three miles to Monticeiio. the home and tomb of Thomas Jefferson, was begun. This highway will extend directly eastward from Charlottesville, a dis tance of three miles, to Monticeiio.

In the Hebrew it was “perdes,” in the Persian “ferdus,” and from one or other of these the Greeks appear to have derived the word “paradeisos.” from which we get" our own word. We also know that the ancient monarchs of Chaldea and As syria and also of Egypt constructed vast inclosures of forest land for the preser vation of wild animals kept for hunt ing purposes, and these were also call ed paradises. Thus, the historical meaning of the word comes to this: A space protected from all incursion from the outer worlih in which those who were privileged to enter were able to indulge in such pleasures us pleased their fancy. it is easy to see the translation from the material to the spiritual meaning, paradise in the latter sense meaning the place of the elect or chosen. This is strikingly borne out by tbe fact that the favorite battlecry of the Moslems, whose firm belief it is that those who die fighting go straight to heaven, was always “Fight! Fight! Paradise! Para dise!” And the strong probability is that they got the word from the Per sian campaigns of the eighth century. The use of the word in its present form in the New Testament is of Greek origin, and its description as applied to the garden of Eden is probably of Hebrew origin, dating from the period of the captivity.

In the gorges it will be re-enforced by a retaining wall; elsewhere there will be a “shoul der” and ditch on either side. General Fitz Hugh Lee is president of the as sociation which has this enterprise iu hand, and the University of Virginia is backing it earnestly. The money on hand is not sufficient as yet, and sub scriptions are solicited from admirers of Thomas Jefferson wherever they may be found. in his speech at the Charlottesville convention Senator Hanna said: “The question of good roads is a very practical one. The general subject of transportation is one of the most im portant that have ever engaged the at tention of mankind and has been es pecially important in this country. The farmers and manufacturers and all other producers are compelled to find a market for their surplus products, and when the market is found they must have some way of transporting their products to it. It is not surprising, therefore, that the focus of our all ab sorbing attention has been transporta tion and how to cheapen it. In this ab sorption we have overlooked the ques tion of home transportation. It is a good sign to see the American people going hack over the ground of their ad vancement to pick up tbe missing links. This question of good roads means much to tbe people of Virginia and the south generally, and tbe time you are giving to its study is time most ex cellently well spent. “Though tbe matter of good roads may seem small, it demonstrates that the people of the south are awakening to their own interests, and the thing to do is to begin where you can do some thing, and then do it If it is a ques tion of roads, build them, and buiid them tbe best you can.” Governor Mojjjague in bis speech be fore tbe convention said: “No matter how rapidly our civiliza tion may grow and develop, it can nev er take on any form that will relieve itself of the necessity of public high ways. Tbe first remedy is to have in telligent design and superintendence. We should have a road commission and an engineer. Then get tbe material. There are different ways to do this. Money can be raised by tbe counties. Tbe state aid plan, such as is followed by New Jersey, is another way. By this plan tbe legislature authorizes tbe state to duplicate any amount for good roads which any county may raise. But the state insists upon tbe superintend ence of tbe disbursement. That is very proper under such conditions.” What he k -nhl as <•!!':- i' justice of li.p Unite.I States t<» tin* •_!; vl jery at Sa vannah in IT. <J was the aim of liis life, “So let us rear an empire saen-d to tin* rights of iii‘*n and commend a govern ment of reason to the nations of the earth.” A Witty Reply of Pope. As narrated by Edward Walford in his “Greater London,” Frederick, prince of W ales, sometimes visited Al exander Pope at his villa. On one occa sion when the prince .was on a visit Pope, after expressing the most dutiful professions of attachment, gave his royal highness an opportunity of ob serving very shrewdly that ids (th< poet's* iove for princes was inconsist ent with his dislike for kings, since princes may in time become kings. Said his royal highness: “Mr. Pope, 1 hear you don’t like princes.” “Sir. I beg your pardon.” “Well, then, you don’t like kings.” “Sir. I must own that 1 like the lion best before his claws are grown.” No reply could well have been hap pier. faltlvate Tact.
