[ City Ownership of Pigeon?. Venire has asserted the right of ownership over th*> famous pigeons of St. Mark. Some enterprising street boys, who had made a business of killing the birds, when brought up in court, pleaded that the pigeons had no legal owners, as they were fed by tLi? public on the Piazza San Marco. The city authorities maintained that the pigeons were th? wards of the old republic. and. therefore, of the present municipality, a view that was adopted by the Court.

A tribute to the superior cheapness or good roads, even when made of dirt, was paid by Captain Browne, one of the delegates to the Virginia Good Roads convention in 1894. In the course of some remarks Captain Browne said: 'The question of good roads come? home to me with great force, for I have in Northampton County good dirt roads to haul over, and in another county bad dirt roads. I put four carts, each one with a mule to it, on the scales, and the loads which were hauled over the Northampton roads averaged 2466 pounds; iu the other county, 800 pounds is the universal load in delivering produce. In Northampton the tax for load purposes is ten cents on the S100, and in the other couuty, where the roads are bad, it is twenty cents on 8100 worth of property. This difference is owing to the adoption of improved methods, which reduce cost and give much advantage." Captain Browne's description of the road equipment in Northampton may be of interest to Kentucky farmers who are struggling with dirt roads. The coihitv, he said, owned one road grader, plows, carts, hand implements, six mules, one superintendent for the whole county, who employed five laborers and had a tent in which all could shelter. The superintendent was directed to begin the worst roads first and to work in all parts of the county. Me began April lb aud by September 30 bad made seventeen aud one-balf miles of good road, though the force had been idle twenty per cent, of the time owiug to the lack of teams. The highway made cost only $o5.17 a mile, but this could be reduced half by the purchase of four more mules. The monthly expense was SI 75.75; the extra mules would add $40 a month, but then thirty-five miles could be made in a year. The whole cutfit had cost ?1,011.24. The farmers had been very much pleased with the results and would not now adopt a different plan. In time Captain Browne hoped they would get to macadamized roads. It seems nardiy wortn wnne to Degin a campaign for better dirt roads when macadamized ones could be secured with a little more effort. Still every upward step counts. Communities which can not undertake extensive improvements might combine this plan of working dirt roads with the one adopted by Augusta County, Virginia. This* county was not in debt, and the people there, as in a great many counties in Kentucky, were opposed to any issue of bonds. The Board of Supervisors hit upon a contractor who agreed to build the road and take a certain sum every year. It took nearly a year to build the road, aud he received his lirst payment the next year from the proceeds of a tax levy. The third year he was paid an 1 il- t 11. || oilier pan auu iuc iuuhu jcui an. The county in the meantime had got sixteen miles of badly needed macadam, and the farmers had then been convinced of the benefits of macadamizing and were anxious to continue the work. Many men who had at first refused to contribute to the building of the road then offered to come in and contribute to an extension. Louisville Courier-Journal. Touching State Alii. When public highways first began to receive attention their care was delegated to those who lived along them, presumably on the principle that they were chiefly interested iu having passable roads. At a later period, as o on/1 sn + iaa rrrou- nn arirl f.VftVPl increased over the highways with the development of commerce and the interchange of commodities, the wear aud tear became so great that the burden of keeping the main roads in repair was too much to be borne by the inhabitants of the rural districts. Macaulav alluded to this fifty years ago when he wrote his picturesque account of the condition of England a hundred and fifty years before. Even then the inadequacy and injustice of the plan had become apparent, and it was gradually realized that a change must be made. Macaulay says of this: "One chief canse of the badness of the roads seems to have been the defective state of the law. Every parish was;bound to repair the highways which passed through it. The peasantry was forced to give gratuitous labor six days in the year. If this was not sufficient, hired labor was employed, and the expense was met by a parochial rate [local taxi. "That a route connecting two great towns, which have a large and .thriving trade with each o.her should be maintained at the cost of the rural population scattered between them, is obviously unjust; and this injustice was peculiarly glaring in the case of the great North Road, which traversed very poor and thinly inhabited districts, au l joined very rich and populous districts. Indeed it was not in the power of the parishes of Huntingdonshire to mend a highway worn by the constant traffic between the West Ridinc of Yorkshire and London. is?This might be mistaken for a reference to American roads and methods of to-day. Every year the tendency to use the public highways for travel and pleasure becomes greater, while their use for business purposes is also steadily increasing. The roads are becoming more and more used for through travel, and the proportion of those who pass over them to those who live along them is becoming greater. To build and maintain suitable highways is an undertaking that involves expenses, and requires resources, such as can only be furnished by the States, and on them devolves responsibility for promoting the work. L. A. W. Bulletin. The Highways of New Jersey. Thirty years ago about the firs maeadain roads iu the State were buil in Essex County, N. J. The worl was gradually extended, and wa: taken up by Union County, and thest two counties laid many miles of stont i roads before the system of State ait | was inaugurated. At the preseni time, uearly every county in the Statt is building macadam roads. The Statt ) bears one-third of the expense, but sc many applications are now made for s ; share of the annual appropriatior 1 that the $100,000 appropriated will j need to be raised to three times that I amount if the contemplated roads art ! to be built. In 1801 the appropriation was 820,000. In 1898 it was increased to 875,> 000, but only 8-0,000 were spent. In 1804 four counties were building roads, ; and the whole appropriation was used in 1895 six countie were at work; in i 189G there were ?ht counties; in ! 1897 eleven counties, and now ninet teen out of the twenty-one counties in J the State have made application for I their shares. There are now so many miles ol stone roads in the State that it can be traversed in nearly all directions with| out leaving them. During the pas) ; year the expense of building macadam roads was considerably reduced. In order to preserve good roads and improve bad ones, it is proposed to give a rebate of a dollar-and-a-half in taxei ! for each wheel in habitual use on heavj j wagons whose tire is four inches oi i more in breadth. Under the law passed fast year commissioners have determined the value ! of some of the toll roads, and if the policy is pursued the State will soor I uossess nothing but free miblic high : ways. Economy of Broad Tires. The Missouri Experiment Statior (Columbia) recently published an illustrated bulletin describing a serie? of interesting experiments on tli< | draught of broad and narrow tired wagon wheels. The tests were made with each kind on macadam, gra\ el and dirt roads and on farm fields in all conditions. The experiments are summarized as follows: Tho broad tires pulled materially lighter on the macadam streets and the gravel roads; also on dirt roads in all conditions, excejit when soft or sloppy i on the surface, underlaid by hard J roadbed, and when the mud was very } deep aud sticky. In both these conI .1 if inns tbe narrow tires nulled COll I ~ '* r siderably lighter. It should be borne in mind, however, that the roads are ! in these conditions for a comparatively I short period of time, and this at seasons when their use has naturally beeu reduced to the minimum. The I tests on meadows, pastures, stubble j land, corn land aucl ploughed ground in every condition, from dry. hard and : firm to very wet and soft, show, without a single exception, a large saving in draft by the use of the broad tires. The bulk of (he hauling done by the I farmer is on the farm, in hauling feed from the fields and hauling manure from tho barns, etc. The actual tonnage kanlnl to market is insignificant | in comparison with that hauled about ' on the farm, inasmuch as a large pro portion of the products of the average i farm is sent to market in the form ol 1 live stock or its products. Farm anc | Fireside. System in Kouri Maintenance. Xo one lias ever supposed that rail road corporations spend money for tin mere sake of spending it, or adopt ex pensive methods when cheaper one; : are better. It must be, then, tha1 ' there is some pretty substantia! son for dividing their roadbeds int< I sections, and keeping men constantly ! employed on each in caring for them I Precisely the same pnueiple appliei ! to ordinary highways; the only waj that they can be efficiently maintained ! is by establishing a similar system,anc the more expensive they are to con struct, the greater the saving that wil thereby be made, and increased effi ciency secured. Goo<l ltoads Build Town*. Three years ago a little farming settlement in New Jersey was inter sected by good roads. The locatior was charming and invited the erectior of summer homes. With the adveni of good highways, the residents came and a prosperous village grew upmade possible solely by the construction of hard and durable highways. The Pilgrims' Church Doomed.335 Consul Listoe, of Rotterdam, re ported to the State Department ir Washington that the church fron vhicli the Pilgrim Fathers departei in J 620 is in danger of being sold am' torn down. It is the Herformdt Kirke (Reformed Church) at Delfl Haven. The pulpit, altar and sornt of the Bibles used by the Pilgrims art still in the church. The church rec ] ord gives an account of the depart v. j of the Pilgrims. The cougregatimi . 1 poor, Consul Listoe says, and witliou help may not be able to retain the building.

There was a signal absence of that partisan rancor which has always . . heretofore characterizsd debates on , revenue measures. Both sides, speaking through their respective leadersMessrs.

The reading of the bill p ! occupied one hour and ten minutes. April 28th. The general debate on the war revenue bill closed tonight, after eight and a half hours of speech- 1 ! making.

The Democrats I >/-,?, tinim/l fbnir (luqnllltq nn the bond , feature and their advocacy of the ' income tax. The latter was ridiculed as a substitute proposition by the Republicans. The authori i ty to borrow money was defended by them as absolutely necessary. There is a difference of opinion i on the Democratic side as to whether 1 the bill should be voted for upon its final passage after the minority amend| ments are voted down. A number of j P i the Democrats, led by McClellan. of 1 New York, have aunounced their pnr' : pose of so votine, but the majority of tbo JJemocrats ocueve mey comu not justify a vote for a bond issue.

There are no restrictions of any sort that I know of in Holland. You may ride anywhere you want, on the towpath, the dikes, or the brick streets. You can see more of the country from a cycle than in any other way, as the 1 roads are invariably higher than the i canals or the railways, and you can ride from one end to the other of the intoro?tinp ivirt in the dav. In ' I riding on tow-paths, however, it is ! 3 wen to look out for tow and other ! ' ropes, if you do not want to be sud- I 1j denly swept into a canal.
