Boy ?tone,who during* the wsf rornnwnifed the famous Pe nosy Irania hrx?a^kosw^^the Buck .fail rifles, has, notwithstanding his absorbing oe cupa?ocs, give^ much thought to the su?$octorthe rovement of country yoada. Being recently consulted in*?ef erefice to the preparation of a measure to be introduced in a state legislature, he hes formr lated a much broader scheme, the scope of which is national. The other evening I met him at the Union League club, and took advantage of the oppor? tunity to get bis views and suggestions . upon this important subject more in de? tail. Ho said, rather in explanation of the largeness of Iris scheme: "No good roads hare ever been built by local effort, except in the richest communities, ia England, so long as the local system pre? vailed, the roads were so bad that Ma? caulay was moved to say, 'The fruits of the earth were sometimes suffered to rot ; in one place, while a few miles distant tho supply fell far short of the demand.' And be said further: 'One chief cause of the badness of the roads was the defect? ive state of the law. Every parish was bound to repair the roads which passed through iV and thus a sparse and im? poverished rural population was com? pelled to maintain highways between rich ?nd populous towns.** ""In this respect," continued Gen. Stone,v"we are Just where England was 200 yearaFago. England met the diffi? culty byithe establishment of turnpikes with. toDs, and 30,000 miles of these roads ha$:been built in Macaulay's day. Tlie turnpike system does not seem, however, to meet the approval of our people, and something -else must be de? vised. Such being the case. I have sug? gested a national plan, which, though new in the form I suggest it, is not real? ly a new question in our national poli? tics. It was a most vexed question in the days of our grandfathers, and its constitutionality was defended upon the ground that congress Bad' a right to pro? vide for the common detense and also to establish post roads. In France, where arofountT perhaps the best roads in the . world, the minister of public works has charge of all roads. These roads are "national or vicinal. Of the first there are 23,000 miles, and these are entirely maintained from the national treasury. The vicinal or cross roads are maintain-. ed chiefly by the"VOTous?<?mmunes.'T" -.What do you think of Governor Hill's suggestions to the New York legisla? ture?* I asked. "They are admirable, and so far as-New. York state is concerned thevrif embod ied in laws, might answer the purpose very well. But for New York, in a measure, an dr for most other states to a greater extent his plan would be a much more costly one to tho taxpayers- than* my broader method. The national gov? ernment has had for some time and is likely to have under our laws a large surplus. This surplus could be lent to? tho states at a very much lower rate of interest than any of these states could borrowmoney from the public. My plan as at first outlined was this: ~L National financing, to secure tac lowest rate of interest, uniform in all thc states, and longest term of repayment. "2. State control of disbcrsement nuder some form of national supervision; a permanent or? ganization of trained experts,, etc. **3. Local option for each local-application of the scheme. **4. Equitable distribution of tho interest charge between thc nation, state and district, and a local adjustment ia tho latter according to benefits directly conferred. "This plan amplified," said Gen Stone, -"would be to this effect: *1. Declare all mail routes post roads. Establish aburcauof post roads in the de? partment of the i uteri or. **3. Whenever any state- shall have adopted the necessary legislation, and provided the machinery for availing itself of national aid, let it apply to tho bureau of post roads for a joint survey of any post road within its limits .vrhich lt dcsircf? improved, and a plan for the improvement of tho same, thc state providing for any relocation of tho road that may be ad? vantageous. Thc state to execute such under super? vision of thc United States bureau. **?. Tho United peates- to pay tho cost 9? im? provement. Tho state to pay 2 per cent, per annum on such cwt and two-thirds of tho amount ata finally. The United States bureau to prepare plans ftnmwttJ school of roads and bridges. **?. Loci'I labor, if available, to be given the preference in pil such improvements. *"SL The United States to have thc option of making ail payments for sac h improvements ia silver coia. "Qr if this plan be looked upon at pres? ent as impracticable or too great au in? novation.** said, he, "let there bc a na? tional commission appointed to look into the subject and report its conclusions from time to time.*' "What are pott roads?" I asked. -"All public roads are 'post rouies/ and all roads leading to county towns are .post roads.' AU 'post routes' (by wagon Toad) could 1x5 made 'post roads,' and thus any road i:i the country could be made a national road. If, however, only IS? actual mail routes, by wagon, were declared post roads there wc-?d be 200, 000 miles subject to improve: uent under the provision of the constitution to establish post roads.4** "What amount could be profitably ex? pended ia this manner?** "There is hardly any limit to this. But a mile of ?oed macadam can be built for $7,500. If we should have 100, 000 ntil-s of such roads thc cost would "x SS5t- -OiMJOO. If this should be dec : years it would only cost ?>0, x^.jv. er year.*' ' "Ant how would you raise this mon eyT "If the surplus ia the treasury were not adequate why could not the $300, 000,000 of silver be earning interest in some such way. But this U a question for the financiers, not for the engineers. 1 am convinced, however, if the silver plan were feasible tho road building would absorb large quantities of silver coin and retain it, and the money would be applied as financial relief where it is most needed-that is, among the farmers. It sonld go right to tho spot of want and dissatisfaction and work its way np. Now, r?ny and all relief goes to the money centers, and must werie its wan? down with great difficulty and cost to those who need it meet.** Criticising a Masterpiece. A strange criticism of Rembrandt's fa? mous portrait of "The Gilder" was over? heard by two young artists at the Metro? politan museum recently. The young men were examining the portrait for perhaps the hundredth time. As on the previous ninety-nine occasions they had grown enthusiastic over the wonderful art displayed in its execution. As is well known, the picture is that of Jan Denier, a Dutch artist, who is habited in the costume of his country and age. One of the most marvelous pieces of work of the entire portrait is the reproduction of a huge starched linen ruff that the man wears about his neck. The ruff almost stands out from thecan vaa?soskflruily was it reproduced by the marvelous hand of the master. The two young men were almost ready to ?ill. down before the portrait to wor? ship ft when* they heard the sharp, nasal tones of a countryman speaking behind j them. The words they heard were, "Oh, Maria, come here and see this man with i his lw?d sticking through a cheese." The two men instinctively moved [ away. "What a profanation P said one to the other. "Yes, indeed," was the reply. "I won? der if it is possible for these people ever to appreciate art ? believe there are at least five hundred artists who would be willing to lay down their lives if they could but produce that ruff, to say noth? ing of the portrait itself."-New York Herald. Where Woman Ideada? Which living novelist has produced the greatest number of books? A lady f in the person of Mrs. Oliphant, claims thfo honor. This popular writer has, up to the present date, produced seventy three novels and six biographies, besides contributing largely to periodical litera? ture. Miss Braddon has given us fifty five novels; Miss Yonge, fifty-three; Onida, or Louise de la Harnee, thirty three; Mr. William Black, twenty-eight; Mr. Besant, twenty-six and Mr. Hag? gard, fourteen. An American author, . who died not long ago, wrote between two and three hundred sensation novels. Very few of these attained any great cel? ebrity, but his copyrights brought him over ?8,{XX) a year for several of the last years of his life. The most prolific novelist the world has ever seen was Lope de Vega (1563 1G35). It is calculated that 21,300,000 of his lines were actually printed, and no less than 1,800 plays of his composition were acted upon the stage. Montalvan records the fact of his having written fif? teen acts in fifteen days, making five plays in a fortnight. If not remembered for quality of work, Vega holds a high place in literary annals for quantity. London Tit-Bits. Gen. Field, who has been given charge of the codification of the Confederate archives, is*- an old Confederate soldier. He is now about sixty years of age, and is tall, erect and broad shouldered. For a number of years he was in the service of the Khedive of Egypt. It does not seem to be generally known? that spiders are provided with a poison of a very active nature, the effects of which are similar to those produced by snake poisons. He Has Xever Rea<l a Book. Devoted to and absorbed in business, Mr. C. H. Pratt,-the late Emma Abbott's manager, has never sought in ordinary recreations and avocations that refresh? ment, repose, inspiration and encourage? ment invariably found so delightful and so beneficial by most men. The curious character of the man may be judged by the circumstance that he makes his boast that he has never read a book!-Chicago News. DK. A CK t?K'S Ki\G4.1>H Are active. ?-ffe?-ti e and pure.
