There is not i single imember of the Supreme court of President Hliarrison's day now serving on the bench. Twenty six years is not a long time for con tinuity of service in the lower courts. There are hiundreds of judges appoint ed at tile age of thirty-five who are still in full muental vigor at seventy, and not a few cases of this kind are to le found lin the lower federal and state courts. Even Chief Justice White, however, Is able to point to a judicial record of only twenty-six years. iHe was appointed by Cleveland in February, 1894, and til he members with whom hie was associated ait thati tile have passed away.

SUGGESTION FOR GOOD ROAD Casy Way to Put Roof on Dirt Road Is to Keep It Draggcd After Drain ing and Dragging. A corresinandont of anl veasternar ulnitural papier suggests 11111t, IlsIiuch as it Is water which makes had roads, the easy way to hiive good roads is to 1'lat i roof over thei. There Is this to ie si(i fot' his suggestion, that i' a ltoif werie put over our country roads, it would not only keep water off of it, but would give us a nice, -shady drive dtrin g the six months of the year when wo would appreciate it. The trouble is tIhat the cost of putting i) such at roof as he has In mind, and nnintalin Ing It, would far exceed the cost of 1111king a retilly first-class hard-sur flced road, which would need no roof. The easy way to put a roof over the dirt roni Is to keep it properly dragged after it hils beenl drined and graded, Saiys Wallace's Farmer. Water is the luost accomtiodating thing In the world. It will run11 off If you will give it tillf i einance. 1).
