We are living ia what is called an age of invention. Human labor has lieen abridged and human comfort n!arged by American ingenuity as applied to mechanical principles, and that to a greater and more profitable ext ent than iu any other country or period of time, And yet tho trend of free edu eat ;ui has been such as to give very little promi nence to industrial training, to the ed ueV.ion that prop ires '.h; rising gt ner ati oti to earn a living by the joint ueof head and hand. A large percentage of the patrons of our public schools go from the school house into the business of earning a livelihood. The provinca of the free tschool is and should be to assist them in prejiaring for whatever lawful em ployment inclination or necess- may bring to them. There is a large de mand for education of this kind, and our present school system can readily be exjianded to still greater usefulness in this direction. I hopj the time is not distant when our great State, from the abundance of her wealth, will pro vide through her school system the op portunity to every Uy and girl within her Uirders to obtain a thorough prepa ration for any calling or profession s s free from cost in foe higher branches as the rudimenU ofaa education may now be obtained in our towtuhip 11 schools.

The people of the State have mani fested much interest in the subject of improvement of our puhiie roads, and it is hoped that the growing sentiment In this regard will soon eventuate in intelligent investigation and appro priate legislation. The general condi tion of our public roads throughout the State indicates that public sentiment has not favored a tax levy for road pur Ioses sutlicieiitly large to construct ami maintain the Ijost roadways, even iftiie money. wer.j most intelligently and economically expended. It is a ques tion largely of local sentiment. After a somewhat painstaking study of the subject, I am inclined to suggest that, recognizing the right of local govern ment, where tht: j,eople of township or county, U-sire lietler roads, the State should iiinler well guarded legislative res! riot ions come to tiieir assistance by paying a sirire of the proper cost, pro viding the quality ami character of the roads satisfy established and just re quirements. Our growing; population and increas ing diversity of pursuits and employ ment appear to require expansion in tiio methods of transacting the greater business of the State through its various executive departments. The several executive branches which existed at the beginning have lieen enlarged ami ampliiht! from time to time by consti tutional and legal provisions until they have reached their present growth. The- departments of insuram-e and of banking are of recent legislative otals lishnie.it. Tiieir necessity is each year more apparent. Tin? conditions which induce prudent ioople to insure their lives ami their property make it incum-U-nt upon tic State to sc-e to it that tho ni'mi y thus expended is placed win -re the consideration which is purchased is sure to lo returned, whether the in surance company i.s a creature of our own laws or of atioth-r Suite or coun try socking business within oar b or ders. So, also, the banking institutions, ;m-t companies, and building and loan associations, which invito tho dop-isit anil safe keeping of iimli'v It-longing to the citizens, should Ik- required to satisfy the State that such dojiosits are iu safe hands. Ilt'lLIUNO ASSot LVTIoNS.

"How tli.l I doit? Well, it was when I was a drummer and selling goods around through euuntry towns in these parts.

This new state of things began with the opening f the present se.ssioa He is said to j have tiped the scales live pounds more i on Saturday night than he did on the j M uday leforc. And, fiiipiing to a I Incrrv tale which went the rounds t.f toe clul-s aird hotels yo-ter.lay, Ka no wonder. It Mi-m that heretofore a coterie of four ein.ii-- spirits Heed, Hurrows, Payne and I i. liver were wont to lunch together tl.ily during the wear and tear of Cong ress. The meal was simple, and was taken more for the purjiv-s- .f allaying than stopping the apietlte. Twenty-five cents a head would have lieen a fair average in those days. A o0-tvnt luncheon would have la-en duhlaed extravagant. Hut with the reassembling of Congress tilings changed. In the first place, IMlivcr dropj-cd out of the coterie, and lfcdzell joined it. Possibly it strict regard for truth would have it that Dalzell joined it and Ia.lliver dropped out. That was one of the thimrs cham-eed. Tho other was the character t.f the luncheon. Ialcil did theorder ing fr the first day. With exquisite taste and a splendid purse to gratify it, ho filled one of Tom Murrey's order slips with blue jsiin's, terrapin, and things to match, and with abundance of champagne, naturally, to wash it all down. Heed didn't see the order, and, till the waiter appeared, had his mouth made up for something like a bowl of simple broad and milk. Hut when his eyes fell upon the repast, he quickly fixed his mouth pie the ex-s-aker is nothing if not adaptable and enjoyed it all right heartily. Tiie next day Harrows played host, and, though he did, surpassed Ia! zell's spread. This went with the former luncheon, and so too, did the midday banquet, which, on the next day was served by Payne. Following the custom of many years, tiio day after would have N.vii Heed's treat. Hut he stop ped to parley with the House paymaster l-t-f ire descending to Mur rcyville, and when he arrived he found that llalzoll had already ordered a feat which surpassed them all. The same tiling happened tin Friday, when Hur rows play oil the host. iK'termiiied to do his share of I -living, though the prav was coiisiilcralily ul-ove Ins usual limit, the maii from Maine tok time by the forelock on Saturday and reach ed the table with the rest. "Now, gentlemen," he said, "what will you have. I am host to-day." ami he la-gait to write terrapin, cham pagne, etc., on the slip. "I want pork and beans to-day," Dalzell rt-pli.il. I Iced looked surprised. ' Just thethiitg," Hun-ows exclaimed. "The same for me." Heed looked mere surprised. "I was just alout to order pork and Ik-uiis for myself," quoth Payne. No one cracked a smile, and Heed's surprise burst into a smile of wondrous t-cauty. The orders were not only a compliment to his New Fngland nativity, but they meant a saving of at least $Si ; for the ex-speaker, though rieii iu brains, is not in jua-ket, and well, fiT) isS.fi. So js.rk and K-ans, with just water on the side, it was. Had the menu of the previous five tlays I -ecu rojH-ated, Heed's increase in weight might haw grown by night six jKitmds. Those who told the story yesterday have agreed to be present to day to see if the program of last week is to be continued, if so, their sus picion will I; confirmed. Hut Heed, the whoh-souled, U!l.susp"cting, but growing H'ted, had no suspicions. The program might be rep"ated week after week. He would simply keep on growing and loving his three Ixroti hosts tiie more. H-e would ven think that the recent political cyclone, called by court.sy- an election, had aught to do with this change in things. It would never occur to him that each of the three gentlemen, sanguine iu the le lief that he, I iced, will la- the next speaker, wants to lie made chairman of the ways and means committee. If his su-picions are not aroused, however, he will have to get measured for new clothes ; for, as was said at thebegining, he is growing fat. ll'f.'iiiijfutt ABOUT STORING ICE.

The advice is often given to pour water on after filling, but the Farm Journnl says this is unwise advice, so don't do it. Forty cubic feet of ice will make alaut a ton.
