Good Roads in Prussia
There is in Prussia and in the other
States a corps of educated highly
trained State employes who have
tanade roads their profession and ihey
iinoiv their business Constant repair
f2s one main reason for the condition of
the German roads Comprehensive
and minute regulations are strictly en
forced In some provinces the village
mayor is held strictly responsible for
the good condition of all the roads in
ids district except the state roads The
work of repair is constant and the la
bor is constantly supervised
Another main reason why the bulla
Ing of roads is carried out honestly is
the virtual absence of temptation to do
otherwise The laws are very slrict
and violations are severely punished by
fine and imprisonment
There are three kinds of highways
the provincial the Kries and the Ge
memde Wege The former two are
those whose building and maintenance
rests on the shoulders of the provincial
or district representative bodies All
the rest are communal or private roads
and the same strict regulations apply
to them as to the provincial roads
In Prussia alone 11000000 per an
num is paid out of the public funds
for the maintenance of roads and this
fioes not include the moneys expended
Ly individual communes and by pri
vate companies and individuals
On the highest grade of public roads
it is forbidden to use them for vehicles
with protruding wheel nails screws
spokes or otherwise objectionable gear
The horseshoes must be of a particular
kind Heavy loads may not pass over
the roads without special permission
Thv1 tolls exacted on the German
joads though at one time generally
Imposed are now small and infrequent
As the- maintenance of the roads is fix
ed by specific laws and regulations so
too are the conditions of constructing
sew roads
Ivosul Grnn mentation
More attention is being paid recently
ib the question of road ornamentation
The fact is that our streets should
present the aspects of public parks ex
tending everywhere about the country
Instead of throwing our brush and rub
lilsh there we should plant our best
shrubs and flowers In many cases na
ture provides for this aspect of affairs
with brooks and wild flowers These
hould be preserved in their natural
ibeaury We know a few towns where
the custom is well established of ex
tending lawns down to the driveway
This custom adds not only to the pleas
are of the traveler but to the culture
5tnd civilization of the common team
sters Some of the European countries
Lave carried this custom much farther
than Americans If a man wishes to
make his place attractive for any pur
pose even for sale he should make the
front of it charming to the eye Farm
and Fireside
a
Had Uoa Js Retard Progress
There is simple common sense for the
ood roads question Get good men
and make the money reach the roads
As things are at present organized
or disorganized In Maryland not one
dollar in four or five appropriated for
roads reaches the work on the roads
This fact is known It is admitted
It is one of the chief scandals of the
State Now the time has come for the
mone3 to be honestly used There
should be new laws new regulations
new men and new methods The lack
of good roads is keeping down the price
of every farm in the State costing
every farmer more to get his products
to market keeping back that progress
which would come if we had better
highways Baltimore American
Reasons for Koad Improvement
The three most important reasons for
road improvement are first the desir
ability of reducing the cost of hauling
second the importance of making most
of our roads fit for pleasure driving
thereby attracting to the rural districts
in summer thousands of people who
reate a local market for various farm
products third the economic principle
of preventing the great waste of labor
which now is fruitlessly expended in
making bad roads Professor F J H

Pen Names
For various reasons an author may
sot wish to sign his name to his first
literary attempts He may feel a little
shy about coming before the public in
propria persona he may prefer to re
main unknown he may think that it is
easier to win notoriety for an allitera
tive or catchy sobriquet or he may feel
that in assuming a new name it is
easier for him to assume the character
m which he wishes to appear before the
public Thackeray used several names
because he wrote for different publica
tions in different styles He signed
Limself sometimes John Corks some
times The Proser or a Traveler in
IiOndon For a certain set of papers
he chose the name of James Yellow
plush for another that of Michael
Angelo Titmarsh The last was sug
gested by the nickname given him by
a friend in allusion to the fact that he
Eke the great artist had a broken nose
Mark Twain was originally the pen

to write river news over it When he
died Mr Clemens appropriated it to
his own use with what success we

How long does it take a man to thlslc
Prof Richet at the recent meeting ol1
the British association gave the results
of his investigations into this subject
He found that by mentally running up
the notes of the musical scale for one
or more es and then u v iding the
total time by the number of notes
thought of the time taken for cell note
was one eleventh of a second There
are various ways of arriving at conclu
slons as to the amount of time neces
sary for realizing any physical sensa
tion or mental impression if the skin
be touched repeatedly wit light blows
from a small hammer one inay acord
ing to Prof Richet distinguish the fact
that the blows are separate and not
continuous pressure when they follow
one another as frequently as 1000 a
second The smallest intervals of sound
can be much better distinguished vith
one ear than with both Thus the sep-
arateness of the clicks of a revoLviug
toothed wheel was noted by one ob
server when they did not exceed sfcxty
to the second but using both ears he
could not distinguish them when they
occurred oftener than fifteen times a
second The sharp sound of an elec
tric spark of an induction coil was dis
tinguished with one ear when the rate
was as high as 500 to the second Sight
is much less keen than hearing in dis
tinguishing differences If a disc half
white and half black be revolved it
will appear gray when its revolutions
exceed twenty four per second It has
been found that we can hear far more
rapidly than we can count so that if a
clock clicking movement runs faster
than ten to the second we can count
four clicks while with twenty to the
second we can count two of them

A Hunters Tries
John Hook a veteran huntsman ot
Hampshire County West Virginia has a
novel case that is puzzling a justice of
the peace While hunting Hook could
not resist the temptation to kill a deer
that crossed his path He then went to
the nearest magistrate and Informed on
himself who imposed a fine of 20 for
violating the game law which implicit
ly implies that no deer shall be killed
in that State until Oct 15 1901 Hooks
object in informing on himself was to
save half the fine which the justice re
fused to allow He is now suing the
squire The deer weighed 204 pounds
and Hook thought it would be cheap
meat If he could get half the fine as
the law states that half the fine shall
go to the informer New York Journal

This effective weapon is known to the

missile slowly ascends in the air whirl

a considerable height when it begins
to retrograde and finally if thrown

is produced by the bulged side of the

should be added that tbe path of the

no two boomerangs exactly agrees The

Pass It On
Once when I was a schoolboy going
home for the holidays I had a long
way to go to reach the far away little
town in which I dwelt I arrived at
Bristol and got on board the steamer
with just enough money to pay my
fare and that being settled I thought
in my innocence I had paid for every
thing in the way of meals I had what
I wanted as long as we were In smooth
water Then came the rough Atlantic
and the need of nothing more I had
been lying in my berth for hours
wretchedly ill and past caring for any
thing when there came the steward
and stood beside me
Your bill sir said he holding out
a piece of paper
I have no money said I in my
wretchedness
Then I shall keep your luggage
What is jour name and address I
told him Instantly he took off the cap
he wore with the gilt band about it
and held out his hand I should like
to shake hands with you he said
I gave him my hand and shook his
as well as I could Then came the ex
planationhow that some years before
some little kindness had been shown

I never thought the chance wosltf
come for me to repay it said he pleas-

So am I said I
As soon as I got ashore I told my
father what had happened Ah said
he see how a bit of kindness lives
Now he has passed it on to you Re
member if you meet anybody that
needs a friendly hand 3011 must pass
it on to them
Years had gone by I had grown up
quite- forgotten it all until one day
T had gone to the station of one of our
main lines I was just going to take
my ticket when I saw a little lad cry
ing a thorough gentlemen he was try
ing to keep back the troublesome tears
as- he pleaded with the booking clerk
What is- the matter my lad I
askccL
If you please sirr I havent money
enough to pay my fare I have all but
a few pence and I teil the clerk if he
will trust me- I will be sure to pay
him
Instantly it flashed upon me tlie for
gotten s tory of long ago Here then
was my chance to- pass it on I gave
him the sum needed and then got into
the carriage with him Then I told the
litble fellow the story of long ago and
of the stewards kindness to me Now
to day B saad I pass- it on to you
and- remember if you meet with any
one who needs m kindly hand you
must pass it on to- them
I will sin I will cried the lad as
he took my hand and his- eyes flashed
with earnestness
I am sure you will I answered
I reached my destination and left my
little friend The last sign I had of him
was the handkerchief fluttering from
the window- of the carriage as if to

to the creek a hard pull with decoys
gun and ammunition I wsis about
half wsiy across and had sat down to
rest when I noticed that one of at large
herdl of cattle was coming my way I
looked again It was a big bull and
evidently meant business
I knew he would overtake- me if I
ran so I turned over my boat and
erawied under it The bull seemed sur
prised thsit I had disappears and sif
ter sniffing around a whiie went off
I waited until he was nearly up with
the- cattle ami then started again But
the old fellow was no fcl he had hiss
eye on me and I had hartSIy started be
fore he came back on tfie run
To do ray best I couldnt make the
creek so under the boat I went again
This time the bull was mad He bel
lowed and pawed and tore up the sod
around the boat with his horns but I
held the boat down
Finally when I was getting tirca be
got tired himself and went so far
away that this time I made the creek
and launched my boat
