Our I's are just as strong as they were fifty years ago, when we have cause to use Litem, But we have less and less cause to praise ourselves, since others do the praising, and we are more than willing for you to see us through other eyes. This is how we look to S. K. lioyce, whole sale and retail druggist, Duluth, Mian., who after a quarter of a century of observation writes: " I have sold Ayer's Sarsaparilla for more than s years, both at wholesale and retail, and have never heard any thing but words of praise from my customers ; not a single complaint has ever reached me. I believe Ayer's Sar saparilla to be the best blood purifier that has been intro duced to the general public." This, from a man who has sold thousands of dozens of Ayer's Sarsaparilla, is strong testimony. But it only echor popular sentiment the world o 8 () over, which has " Nothing Ayr' Struparilla."

Iwiglit Lawrence, librarian of the senate, was down from Alhtiny recent ly, say the New York Sim, and this Is lils latest anecdote: Joseph II. Choate and Kdward I.nu terhach, the noted Jewish barrister, vvcre associated In a suit a short time igo and won. As the Jury left their seats Mr. I.auterhach turned to Mr CtioRte nnd said: "Choatf, we won this verdict becar.se we happened to know more law on this subject than our adversaries." "Ves?" queried Clmale. "Our clients are rich, you know, a' corporation, and all that," rejoined I.auterbat'li. j '"Yes'" again queried Choate. "What do you think we ought to charge, I.au terbai h '!" " h. $T."i't apiece." "Tut. tul." broke out Choate, Impa tiently, and he repented: "Tut, tut! You let me handle this bill, Lauterbach. I'll collect for us both." A short time afterward Mr. Ijtutcr haeh was In Mr. Choate's office In Wall street, and Mr. Choate handed him a check for $l,.r.oi) as Mr. I.uulerbuch's fee lu the case, nnd said: "I.aut i bach, what do you think of that':" Mr. Lauterbach looked at the check, stroked his beard for an instniit, and, looking Intensely at Choate, replied: "Almost thou iwrsuadesl uie to be a Christian." v ilow Many?

It la found that the machine will put lu the best of condition TsiO feet of road way in a day at a cost of S!i..".'t. In :io other way can dirt or macadamized streets of a city or village be kepi hi good condition so cheaply. Every smali city and village ought to have a nwi 1 roller. No investment can be made that will pay larger dividends tha'i giiod road. Jtetter Roads. Whether public Kent'.iiient ever be come powerful enough to compel the adoption of sensible methods In the construction of permanent -ouii;ry roads, the Improvements In the ma chinery for road making have certainly tirade the construction of gisid roads possible tit a loss cost than at any former period. In thu old time tlr: broken stone spread upon a macad:i rn l.ed road was usually avoided by those driving over It during dry weather, ih" clay or gravel slih of the roadway be ing preferred. The hroken stone would Is' worn down to a smooth track only when the wet weather of the fall and winter mad" the sides of the roadbed impassable. The Invention of the steam slide crusher a ml the ponderous steam roller has changed all this. The stone Is now crushed at the quarry at a much cheap er rate than it could he done by tluvol 1 fashioned method of breaking It w,t!i hand hammers. When It Is spread noon the roadway the heavy steam rollers do in a single day the work of many days and thousands of heavily loaded wag ons under the old system. The crushed stone is rolled and compacted Into a solid mass at once, and, with a lop layer of finer stone, the surface Is roiled as smooth as that of a gravel roao ri dry weather, l iider the modern sys tem, the iniieiida mixed road become- a model driveway, so far as the surl'ii' Is concerned, as soon as it Is complete I, and for stability has no equal. The Illustrations of the ease and com partitive cheapness with which good roads can now be constructed, wiii. n tire f itruisheil In the suburbs of every large city, should be sitllieieiit to sen " as object lessons for all the country. A good stone quarry can be opened in any township In any county in this commonwealth, a steam stone crusher at the quarry will furnish an nnliiniie 1 amount of the best material for a so,;d roadbed, and ;t heavy steam roller will complete the wink, if properly ha lulled, lu plain terms, good, substantial roa.'s lire MkHsible In a II, sections of the com Hioiiwrtilt.h, and If once construct".!, would be found to be cheaper In Un ions run than the existing country high ways which are a succession of qnr.:; mtivs a part of the year, inches deep in dust the rest of the time and good roads never. To secure good roads eotistniete.l up on sound principles It is necessary firt that the present patchwork system ot keeping roads in repair by scraping clay from Die gutters into the center of the roadway to be relumed to the gu. lets again by the combined action of rain, frost and heavy travel shall he abandoned as on utter waste of work and money. The next essential Is thai the most Important highways be seleia ed first for permanent Improvement, ami that each highway so selected shall be completely tnacadaml.ed wiiicn township or county lines before n nolher Is attempted. One highway In a town ship Improved after this manner would work ft revolution In our entire syst of road making, nnd lead to the utter abandonment of the cheap and nasty pmds that now disgrace our Slate and nearly every other State In the Union. rhlladelphla Times. - - Street Cars in Naples. "I was In Naples last summer when the first electric street car was put In operation, nnd was stoned by the popu teo," said Dr. V. O. Terry, of Sacra mento, Cal., at the Arlington. Jir. Terry lias been in Europe for two years, mostly In Germany, pursuing n surgical course, nnd Is now going home to practice his profession. "The new style of street enrs," he' continued, "give great offense to Hie Neapolitans, simply because they were an Innovation. The people over there resent everyflilngthnt Is new, regardless of merit. Naples Is one of the toughest places In Christendom, anyway. It Is u rare thing lu that town to meet with tiny one who seems to recognize the bath as an institution of civilization. Men, women nnd children revel In dirt, particularly the Intter.

Redomefctfcation or the Klephant. j The Kurojiean "elephant herd" Is, generally speaking, the property of the I large circus owners, nnd these prefer the Indian elephant, which they allege to be more docile and more reliable for their purposes than the African spe cies. The trainers say that the latter have bad memories, and that this makes them uncertain performers in a ring. They will learn a few tricks without difficulty, but when called upon to perform In public they some times seem to forget their accomplish ments, and either stand still or bolt 1o their stables. It has been recently pointed out that this lack of memory, or perhaps of brain power. In the African w hen com pared with the Indian species may pos sibly be accounted for by the descent of the former from the mastodon, an earlier extinct type than the mammoth. The teeth of the African elephant cor rwpond with those of the mastodon, while In the Indian elephant they are analagous to those of the more recent mammoth. When kept in Knglatid the African seems to have less respect for "humans" than the Asiatic, ind Is less trusted by Its keepers, who seem to look upon It as unsafe. But is this only l comparative estimate of a creature Judged by the side of one w hich has long held the first place among domes ticated beasts of burden?
