Our Ts and Other Eyes.
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

lils latest anecdote:
Joseph II. Choate and Kdward I.nu

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

" h. $T."i't apiece."
"Tut. tul." broke out Choate, Impa
tiently, and he repented: "Tut, tut!
You let me handle this bill, Lauterbach.

A short time afterward Mr. Ijtutcr

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

Mr. Lauterbach looked at the check,

looking Intensely at Choate, replied:

liatavla (N. Y.) taxpayers are greatly
pleased with the experiments made in
roadmaklng with a steam road roller.
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

city and village ought to have a nwi 1
roller. No investment can be made
that will pay larger dividends tha'i

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

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.

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
