Again aro we convinced of the
fact that our system of working
roads is decidedly faulty. For some
oanso or other there has been hut
littlo work dono in this section for

off from timo to time to suit this or
that man. Last spring thore was
nothing done; now our supervisor
comes up with a list, incomplete
leaving out some permanent resi
dents and having names of men
who never did live in this district.
Aeain tho list shows somo men to
be owing three yours' road work,
while others aro not marked delin
quent at all. We got very little bene
lit from tho proporty tax and by put
ting off work till now wo will lose
several polls owing to people mov
ing away. In the five years that
we havo lived here there has not
boon a timo that raoro than three
teams could bo hod at onco, conse
quently shovolors are idle a good
portion of tho time. Last week we
saw four men shoveling and only
ono team hauling. Sometimes three
or four mon como without a tool to
work with and unless suppliod by
a near neighbor, have to pick rocks
by hand to put in tho timo. Such
business will never improve our

WORLDS OLDESTENGINE,

I'htll Itt-ernllr.
The oldest engine in the worid is in
tho poaaeaxion of the llirminghiim
cnnnl navigations, this eiiKine linving
been constructed by Boulton & Watt
In tho year 1777, Bay London Kniri
necrinfr. The order is entered in the
firm's booki in that yenr as a single
acting lien in engine, with chains at
cuch end of a wood beam, and having
the steam cylinder 3'1 inches in diam
eter, with a stroke of eight feet, and
rrccted at the canal company'i pump
ing station at liolfe street, Smeth
wick. During the present year (1S9K)
this remarkable old engine, which hns
been regularly nt work from the time
of its erection to the current year, a
period of, say, ISO years, was removed
to tho canal company's station at
Dckcr Hill, Tipton, there to be re
erected and preserved as a relic of
what can be done by good manage
ment when dealing with mnohinery of
undoubted quality. H is worthy of
note that the IMrtntnghnm canal navi
gations favored Itoulton fc Walt in 1777
with the order for this engine, and in
1898, or 120 years afterward, the com
pnny hai intrusted the sumo Arm,
Jamea Watt & Co., Soho, Smethwick,
with tho manufacture of two of their
modern tripla-cxpanaion vertical en
gines, to bo erected at the Walsall
pumping station, having 240 horse
power and a pumping capacity of 12,
713,600 gallons per day. .

The largo proportion of blind people

Cnnaul-Oeneral Patterson, at Cal
cutta, in a report to the department of
state, notci a curious fact about flax
growing, reports the St. fOiils (ilobe
Democrat. He writes! "In answer to
an Inquiry from n Chicago firm relative
to tho quantity of flax produced nni
exported from India, I would say that
flax is grown In India exclusively for
the seed. In no part of the country is
tho lllier produced. ICxperlinents have
been mada for many years with the
an mo result, viz., thai it Is no proof
that a plant can be made to yield a
fiber because it can be grown In s
country. Flax, hemp and china grata
arc admirable aumples of this fact.
The possible area of fiber production
of any of these in India Is extremely
narrow, lie nip yields fiber In linssiu
uud other countries and cannot b-.-made
to produce the narcotic. In In
dla tho very reverse ia the ease, except
in a small portion of the Himalayas
where It yields admirable fiber and no
narcotic to tpeak of. While large arear
of flax arc cultivated in almost every
part of India and Iturmuh, it la grown
only for the seed, of which large quan
tities are exported, and not for fiber,
and there is no flax exported from In
dia." FIRST ELEPHANT IN AMERICA.
How sloava Sinlth'a Eceenfrln Notion
Nail n Fortune for An
other Man,
It Is not generally known that a
former citizen of Owensboro brought
across the ocean tho first elephant
that was ever in America, says the
Owensboro (Ky.) Inquirer. The name
of tho gentk-mun was Moses Smith,
who at one time owned a vast body of
land from the mouth of Panther creek
up tho river, embracing nearly all the
present farms in the neighborhood of
Sorgho.
Mr. Smith was at Paris with his
brother and bad "more money than he
knew what to -lo with." He told his
brother that he intended taking some
thing to American that the people bad
never seen. "You had better buy an
clephant,"said the jocular brother and
that, was whnt Moses did. He picked
out tho biggest nnimul he could find
nnd paid an enormous price for it. He
brought it to New York, where it was
0 nine days' wonder, but the owner
soon found that he hnd somethinp
worse than the proverbial white ele
phant on his hnnils. He tried to sell
it, but could find no buyer nnd nt last
undertook to give it away, in which h?
wns equally unsuccessful. . Finally ht
found a man who agreed to pay him
$100 for it nnd this Individual put it or
exhibition. He was so successful that
he went into the show businc. and
made a fortune out of Mr. Smith's fol
ly. Col. Frunk MeKernnn.of Adrian
ville, is a grandson of Mr. Smith, who
lived to a great pgc at his homo in this

BOOTBLACK SUPPLIES.
A CosnpnrntlTtlr Neir Bnalneaa That
Hna ot Lnte Grown Ip to Pill
Modern Waati.
A business that has sprung up in
New Yorlt in recent years is that of
bootblack supplies. It owes its origin
to the growth of the city, the multipli
cation of bootblack stands, and the in
troduction and extensive use of colored
sihoes. There are now a unmber of con
cerns, small but complete establish
ments, devoted to this business, that
supply everything a bootblack requires,
and his requirements are greater than
they formerly were, says the Xew York
Sun.
At one place thera are kept on hand
05 varieties of shoe blacking or polish
for shoes of all kinds and colors, includ
ing blackings and polishes in boxes nnd
bottles, nnd1 imported blackings as well
as domestic, and waterproof .blacking
nnd oil. There nre sold here cans for
oil and for water; blacking pans, the
small round pans made to hold a larger
quantity of blacking than would be
contained in a blacking box; brushes
of nil kinds, including daubers, dust
brushes, and blacking brushes, whisk
brooms and shoestrings of various
kinds and colors.
Some of these establishments send
out supply wagons, which regularly
make the rounds of their customers at
bootblacking stands all over the city
and supply their wants, whatever they
may be, on the spot.

The compliment to Aberdeen wns, no
doubt, relished in the granite City. Dr.

course of which it was mentioned that
Mr. Qladstone's number in hats was

at by taking tho mean of the length

No. 7 hut, which is the average English
size. Lord Bcnconsfteld's hat wus this
size, John Bright's 7, Lord John Rus

It has been decided by the authori
ties of London that historic Newgate
prison and the Old Hailey sessions
house shall be pulled dov.-n to mnko
room for" a spacious new sessions
house. Newgate has been a prison for
over 500 years, the original buildintrs,
after being1 several times repaired,
giving way to another structure in
1770. Before it was entirely completed
it was pillaged and burned on June 6
and 7, 1730, by the no-popery rioters,
and after that a sum of $150,000 was
devoted to repairing and completing'
the fabric, which is considered by ex
perls to be admirable in design and
character. The outer walls are nearly
four feet thick. On the opening of
Whitecross street prison in 1815 Neiv
gate ceased to be used for debtors,
and since 1SS2 it has only been util
ized for those awaiting trial during
sessions and for prisoners condemned
