' GOOD ROADS ARGUMENT.
Free Mail Delivery to Cease Wliert
Itighwa}N Are Neglected.
The postotflce department is trying
to use the rural free delivery experi
ment as au argument in favor of good
roads, and where the experiment lias
failed to improve tbe bad roads along
the routes the service will have to be
abandoned.
The department has gone over the
reeo - ds to see bow many routes were
Interrupted by the condition of the
roads last spring and has sent out
notices that unless the roads are im
proved to prevent similar interruption
this spring those routes will have to
be abandoned. The records show that
a great many routes were interrupted
from one to seven days last spring.
There were 10 of these routes in
lowa, ll! in Illinois, 10 in Wisconsin
and a less number in other western and
southern states. The record against
lowa is not so bad as it seems because
that state lias a great many more rural
free delivery routes than any othei
state, and, like Illinois, the state suf
fers at times from bad roads which
cannot be improved.
The department admits that It will
have to give some consideration to the
difficulty in building roads in lowa and
Illinois, where the depth of the soil
makes it almost impossible to con
struct roads that will be passable at all
seasons of the year. It is admitted
that there are routes In Illinois and
lowa where everything possible has
been done to make good roads, and
they have excellent roads for the great
er part of the year, but during the
spring freshets these may be impass
able for a few days.
The order is meant to apply to those
routes where the people are indifferent
to the condlttou of the roads and have .
allowed them to become impassable
through neglect. The inspectors will
report on the routes that are interrupt
ed this spring, and where the inter
ruption is due to neglect of the roads
they will be abandoned. Where the
interruption is due to conditions which
cannot be overcome the department i
will make allowances and continue the
service.
But the department regards rural
free delivery as an argument and an
inducement to build good roads, and
wherever the people are indifferent to
the advantages of the service the de
partment holds that the experiment is
a failure. The demand for rural free!
delivery is greater than the department
can meet w'th the appropriation by
congress, and it will favor those com- ;
munities which show most apprecia- j
tion by building roads over which the j
government can send mails with the j
least possible interruption.
RAILWAYS AND HIGHWAYS.
Hon the Former Are Benefited l>y '
I mpro v<*«l Iloadtt.
The Illinois Central railroad has
started a very practical movement in
this section in the interest of good
roads, says the New Orleans Times-
Democrat. It is one that will have,
we feel confident, the support of all j
and will be followed by the other com
-j panics as well. It is needless to point
out that a railroad is benefited by good
- roads In the country it runs through.
Whatever brings prosperity to the
tributary region of course brings busi
ness and prosperity to it.
Good roads allow produce for ship
ment by the railroad to be brought a
much longer distance and in better
condition than otherwise possible. If
the roads are bad, it will scarcely pay
to haul goods more than 12 or 15 miles
—they will not bear longer transporta
tion—but if the highways are well
maintained these same goods can bo
hauled 25 and 30 miles at no greater
cost. But while It is undoubtedly to
the interest of the companies to look
after the highways and make sure that
they are maintained in good order, the
railroads have generally so much other
work to attend to that they can scarce
ly give time and attention to tills mat
ter, which cannot be regarded as a
part of their legitimate duties.
The good roads movement shows
great strength in the north, where a
practical test has proved that a road
way will pay for Itself in two years—
that is, the profit of the farmers from
the cheaper hauling will in two years
exceed the original cost of the high
way. The south, however, has done
little iu tills matter as yet, for which
reason the work of the Illinois Central
v ill be all the more appreciated.
Some Startlinit Figure*.
Charles T. Harrison, United States
special agent on road work, said re
cently:
As a result of 10,000 inquiries sent
out by our office in IS'JS, figures have
been compiled that are startling in
their conclusions. The most conserva
tive estimates based upon these figures
show that 'lie total of the farm and for
est products hauled over tlie country
roads Amounts to over 300,000,000 tons
Olid that the average cost of transport
ing it is $3 a ton, or a total annual cost
for transportation of nearly $950,000,- j
(KHI. This enormous charge is paid
principally by the farmers of the coun
try annually, and of this amount the
figures obtained from other coun
tries where g»>od roads are the rule in :
Mead of the except i u show that fully I
two thirds of this amount, or about
$600,000,0<)O. is du; to the poor roads. |
In other words, the farmers are paying j
ft bout $G0O,o»jO,00O mud tax each year,
enough to cover this country with good
roads and maintain them.
Need of Good Roads.
There is no more Important im
provement needed in our country than
good roads. Good roads mean better
people. Good roads mean more busi
ness for the merchants. Good roads
mean improvement in value of our real
estate.—New Orleans Times-Democrat.

A professor of languages some years i

upon the paucity of objectionable 1
phrases among the British working!
classes when compared with the abun- j
dance supplied by the orientals of sim- '
liar rank. To prove this he gives a
ease which came under his own notice. |
He had dismissed a manservant for ;
dishonesty, and the next morning at C j
o'clock he sought an interview with his
former master. lie flourished a carv- I
ing knife, with which he plainly in- j
tended to emphasize his remarks. |
When he found it impossible to gain !
admission, lie sat under the window, j
and tbe "swearing" process began. lie
cursed the professor along the gene
alogical tree back to the tirst ancestor j
of his race. Then be dwelt upon every I
detail of his anatomy, from the top of
his head to the eud of his toes. "For
three consecutive hours he sat there
and swore," says the professor, "with
out once repeating a phrase."
While traveling on the underground
railway in London a party of working
men entered the same compartment
and interspersed their remaiks with j
the commonest forms of "swearing." j
The professor politely asked them to j
desist, whereupon he was told to mind 1
his own business. Heat lice com- j

FEAST OF HORSES.
Terr Old FeNtlrnl Still Celebrated T»
llindiiNtnii.
Dosera, or the "feast of horses," is a
very old festival in India. The Hindoos
say thut on a time long ago the god
Rama went to war with the king of
Ceylon and was victorious because his
army had better horses and bullocks than
the king's army. So yearly, at the time
of a new moon, the Hindoos worship the
horses and bullocks.
I had never heard of this festival, and
on the morning of Dosera I was stir
prised to find my Arab pony Itaja all
trimmed with bright yellow flowers. He
had a wreath around his neck, long
pendants of tlowers bung about his ears,
anklets of the same bright (lowers were
tied around his legs just above the hoof
and again above the knees, and tiny bou
quets were tied to the harness in many
places ami on the reins too. It was pret
ty, and 1 am sure Itaja felt "dressed up,"
for he was dignified and quiet all that
day and carried his head a little higher
than usual. Sometimes he does frisky
things, but we are not at all afraid of
him, for he is intelligent, and if we say,
•'ltaja! Itaja!" in a decided tone he seems
to know tliat we wish him to be digni
fied. Itaja means king, and we gave
him that name because we think him the
king of Arab ponies.
At Dosera the bullocks, which are as
much used here as horses, had their
horns stained with bright colored paints,
generally a different color for each horn,
and strings of little tassels of many dif
ferent colors were tied from tho tip of
one horn to the tip of the other, or bright
pieces of ribbon would be used instead of
Ihe tassels.
The white horses, of which there are
very many hero, and the white bullocks,
too, were painted, some in stars or in
round dots. Others had the rising sun
painted on both sides of their bodies in
red and gold colors. Some horses had
only their tails and manes colored, while
a few drivers painted the sides of the
cart and the wheels also.
After all this decorating was finished
the people made pujnh to the animals,
which means that they worshiped the
horses and tho bullocks. I could not find
any one who would tell me if they wor
shiped the carts, too, but I think they did.
After this is done the people give each
other presents, which should be of gold,
but as the people are most of them too
poor to give gold they give the leaf of
tho "gold" plant, and that answers very
well.
When evening came, and the coach
man who had trimmed Itaja with the
fresh flowers had not received "back
sheesh," he felt very much neglected and
sent word to me that it was the custom
of the country to give the coachman a
donation. I sent him a rupee and made
him ouito hannv. —St. Nicholas.

Production of A«l>eafn».
In Canada are a number of mines
where asbestus is produced, and one of
the largest of these is near Sherbrooks,
in Ontario. The separation rock is
mined in open quarries, and after it has
I carried to the surface that bearing
the asbestus is separated from the bar
ren material by band picking. At a
cobbing house the long fibered asbestus
is knocked off from the serpentine by
hand if the veins are more than three
quarters of an inch thick, but in the
smaller pieces this separation is made
by machinery. In this process the rock
is crushed and the useless pieces are
picked out by hand. Then the asbestus
bearing fragments are pulverized, and
the fibrous material is separated from
the powdered rock by means of a blast
of air.
