THE chief question concerning good roads ut the present time is the financial one. How much money can be raised for them? There is no longer a question as to the desirability of building them. The farmer, who uses them in the laborious task of making B living from the soil the year round, IB as eager for tin-in as is the rieh man from the city, who uses them only for pleasure for a few weeks or months in the summer. There is no difficulty, either, in get ting enough money locally. Towns and counties are ready with their appropriations. The only drawback is that the State is not ready to do its full share in duplicating the local appropriations and so the progress of the work seems to depend upon the rate at which the State can follow the lead of the counties. In connection with this phase of the case a suggestion made by Mr. Bond, the State Engi neer, is of practical interest. He would have the State acquire a trap rock quarry iu Rockland County and set the convicts of Sing Sing Prison to working it. This would provide road making material at a considerably lower price to the State than that which is now paid for it, and the State could thus do its share toward road build ing at a decided advantage; for there seems to be no good reason why the State's contribution to the fund should not be in material at market rates as well as in cash. The scheme has, of course, these obvious elements in its favor that tra rock is one of the very best road metals in the world, that the convicts would thus be pro vided with one of the best kinds of labor for their wellbeing, that the quarry would le close to the prison, and that being on a bluff directly above the river the product of the quarry could be transported to many other parts of the State at a minimum of cost. Every such plan which aims at the reduction of cost of good roads is worthy of careful consid eration, as calculated to expedite the perform ance of one of the mast important public works. We have hitherto suggested that there are mil lions of tons of superb road metal in the talus of the Palisades which mitrht be removed and util ized with actual advantage to the appearance of that colossal wall. Of course, where the talus is already overgrown with arboreal vegetation, as much of it is, it should not be disturbed, save to such degree as is necessary for the construction of a roadway along tfce river edge. But where the talus is of recent oriein and is a naked mass of broken stone, thrown down by the blasting operations of late years, it is an eyesore which dwarfs the height of the wall against which it is banked, and the removal of it would not disfigure the Palisades, but rather restore them to their former majesty of aspect. The suggestion is to 1m? commended to the State authorities and to those public spirited gentlemen who now have the Palisades within their guardianship. New York Tribune. HOW THE FILIPIXA GIRLS LIVE. THE life lived by the Filipinos is not an intricate life, nor is Philippine etiquette the highly involved system that is found in the old and artificial society of western lands. I do not know that I can better describe it than by following a society young lady of Manila through the ordinary events of one dab's exis tence. It may interest American women to know how their sisters beyond the seas pass their lives. The day of the fair Filipina is a long one. With her there is no lazy rising to a nine o'clock coffee and toast. She is usually up with the sun, not later than six, and, if very religious as early as four, that she may attend early mass. Break fast is set early, about six o'clock. Then come the morning duties of the household : sewing, washing, cooking, or whatever there may be, for our young lady is not expected to spend her days in, idleness. The mid-day meal is taken at twelve o'clock in order that the warmest hours of the day may be the hours of "-est About two hours are thus spent in the enjoyment of the siesta, when our lady fair arises, refreshed and ready for the later pleasures of the day. At four o'clock the "afternoon tea" is served. This is a light repast, usually consisting of chocolate, with rice and cakes, or other simple viands. Then, at the hour of five-thirty or six o'clock, the carriage is brought out and the daily ride taken to the Luneta, the beautiful park on the bay south of the city. Here the military ban1 discourses sweet music every evening, and the beauty and fashion of Manila meet and enjoy the evening air and melodious strains. Return ing from the drive about seven o'clock, the even ing meal or supper comes next in order, after which our belle of Manila is free for any mode of spending the evening hours that may appeal to her; perhaps a friendly visit, a trip to the theater or opera, or an "at home" to receive callers. Early as she arose bed-time often comes late, and no hours more than nature demands are spent in the enjoyment of slumber. Going to rest, however, is different there and here. Ladies, even of the highest social rank, do nut sleep in a bedstead, but prefer the floor, lying on a petate, or mat, which is provided with a long bolster or pillow, and covered with the conven tional mosquito netting. Ramon Reyt Lala in June ledger Monthly. One of the significant signs of the times is the presence in this country of many European man ufacturing experts, who are here to study our methods, with a view to making improvements iu their own, in order to letter meet our trade rivalry. They will doubtless carry back valu able pointers, but they cannot carry back the greatest single factor in the success of American manufacturers the intelligent American work man, who knows how to use his brain as well as his hands. There is more or less silly talk on the tariff question now being presented. To take for granted because President McKinley favors the extension of our foreign trade by reciprocity treaties, wherever possiple, that he is any less a believer in a protective tariff than he ever was is to ignore facts. Reciprocity is the child of pro tection. It is because we have a protective tariff that we have something to offer nations for com mercial reciprocity. President McKinley's prompt rejection of the fake acceptadce of the Piatt amendment by the Cuban Constitutional Convention is com mended by the people and press of the entire country, and if the Cubans are wise they will lose no time in properly accepting the Piatt amendment with-out any "ifs" or "ands." Both Tillman and McLaurin claim to be democrats, which raises the question, what is a democrat ?
