Another plece of French folly was this: Every half-mile we would encoun. ter a small twowheeled sprinkling eart about the size of a barrel, drawn by a lad.

All along the road there are many barrels. But we (o better In our country. When the roads tear a small town need sprinkling, the super visors try to ralse the money-—-and fail.

Then the cit] sens try to raise the money by sub seviption—-and fail, papers take it up and try to raise the money-~-and fall. Then ail hands be moan the lack of pubite spirit, and go to work to get the sprinkling eart—-and fail. Here the suinll towns get sprink. ling carts and do it by hand.

However, a two-horse sprinkling cart Is a more imposing sight: perhaps the American way is the better way ~The Argonaut, Good Roads Movements, The movement for good roads has gained strength slowly, bot steadily. It holds what it gains, and goes for ward, In the New England States good roads are strong adjubets of nat) ural scenery, attracting people from a distance to drive among the hills and valleys, leaving money for entertain: ment asd carrying away pleasant rec. ollections, New Jersey has made a good start in road construction. Penn eyivania has taken up the work, and at the session of the Legislature jus? closed 86.500,000 was appropriated for roadmaking. There the State pars two-thirds of the total cost, so that more than $8,000,000 is In sight for use on the highways of the State this year. In tils State a lttle has been done in a good many places. The towus in sey. eral counties have stretches of im proved highways, aggregating many miles, but lacking connection for a thoroughfare across the State in any direction. This Is the aim of the league for good roads, and is strongly favored throughout the State. It received ree nguition in the last Republican State platform, being thére linked insepara- bly with canal improvement. The two are parted by the Canal Referendum bill, but, whatever the fate of the lat- ter, good roads will pot be lost slgot of. Appropriations aggregating 81,000, (4) to pay the State's share of pro- jected improvements are carried in the supply blll of this year.
