Why a Limpet Sticks.
The limpet has gained notoriety by
the strength with which it adheres to
the rock on which It decides .to rest.
The force required to detach the limpet
from the rock has lately been tested by
a well known naturalist, who found
thnt more thnn sixty pounds must bo
exerted for the purpose. So this little
thing, weighing nbout half nn ounce,
sticks so tightly that n force equal to
two thousnnd times Its own weight la
necessnry to drag it nwny.
It wns nt one time supposed that at
mospheric pressure hnd something to
do with the ndhesive power of the lim
pet, but it is now generally ngreed thnt
the creature exudes n kind of glue for
this purpose. If you plnce your finger
on the rock Immedlntely after a limpet
lias been detached, you will feel thnt
the surfnee is sticky, nnd if you nllow
your finger to remnln there for n short
time you will notice that it Is begin
ning to stick quite tightly. Penrsou's.
TJnappreclative.
A certain politician, eminent but not
refined, made Samuel J. Tllden a busi
ness call at his Gramercy Park man
sion. Wishing to be pnrtlculnrly nice
to him, the old gentlemnn got out a
bottle of6 Johannlsberger Schloss, tho
rarest of Rhine wines, nnd begnn to
decant the contents into a minute
glnss, sniffing the savor of the juice
and taking grent pains to Indicate that
a treat was coming. A tray with some
large glasses was at hand. The poll
ticinn reached for one and, grasping
the precious bottle by the neck, dump
ed half the contents Into it and drank
It all at one gulp. Mr. Tllden eyed him
malevolently and did not try to pro
long the visit. When the door closed
behind the guest, he said with a snap:
"Blast him! The next time he comes
I'll give him beer." New York World.
Fly Fishing-.
There is no doubt that certain flies
are best adapted to different seasons,
times of day and conditions of weath
er, but a dozen flies of different names
will fully answer "all of these require
ments. An angler's files resemble noth
ing when cast upon the water. They
are simply a something which attracts
the trout. Color has more allurement
than form, nnd as there are not so
many colors there Is no use for many
files. The general rule is for light flies
on dark days and dark or darkish files
on light days. Sizes are more to be
considered tbnn form and mixture In
makeup. A large trout wants some
thing worth bis making an effort to se
cure. It is uoumiess true that an ar
bitrary cast of files cannot be made
up which will be adapted to all waters.
Catarrh.
People who nre subject to catarrhal
ailments have special need to be partlc
ulnr in regard to their feet covering.
They should see to It that their feet
arc comfortably clad, their shoes
should have substantial soles and
should como well up the nnkles and
not be laced or buttoned tight. Light
merino stockings or Imlf hose may be
snlllcleiit for wnrintb, but whenever by
reason of much exercise the feet have
become damp, nnd especially If the
leather has absorbed wet, It Is wise for
change to bo made In both stockings
and shoes.
The Hardworking Farmer.
I used to think that all farmers
were overworked until I went to the

"And what did you see there?"
"They had chairs covered wltb old

woman had a quilt with 15,000 pieces in

000,000 Spent by Latter Country on
Iter Highways in Five Year.
It will interest you to know nbout' the
tondn of France. In thnt country there
Is no such diversity between the mate
rial progress of the farmer and that of
the merchant, between the country and
tho town, ns Is found In this country,
BnyB Isaac B. Potter in Tho Gospel of
Good Roads. The farmers prosper and
have nlwnys prospered. Every dollar
spent by tho French government to
bring itself more closbly in touch with
Its rural populntlon hns been well In
vested. Of course these roads of Franco nre
not bnllt by fnrmers who "work out"
their highway taxes after the mnnncr
followed in this country, nor nre they
repnlred by tbe use of plows, hoes or
scrapers, like those which nre brought
Into use ut the nnnunl fnrmers' picnic
which takes plnce when you go out to
"work the road" In your township. On
tho contrary, they nre built nnd kept
up under n system which Is perhnps
the most perfect In the world. There
Is nn official in chief who takes charge
of all the main roads of the republic
nnd requires from his subordlnntcs
complete reports nt frequent intervnls.
In this manner Information Is always
at hand showing the condition of the
ronds In all parts of the country. Of
course the work Is divided into differ
ent sections, which in turn are In
charge of subordinate engineers or su
perintendents. Broken stone Is fur-

nlslied by contract, and, considering
the amount of labor accomplished each
year on the French roads, the cost is
surprisingly small. Tho ronds of our
own states, nt lenst the important
state ronds, should be maintained in
the same way.
In Belgium also the principal roads
are built and maintained by the gen
era! government, and in 1880 in the
nine provinces of Belgium over 70 per
cent of the highroads were of this
class, the entire length of high class
ronds being 4,173 English miles out of
n total of 5,280 of ronds of nil clnsses.
The best ronds of Belgium nre in the
provinces of Nnmur, Liege- nnd Lux
embourg, nnd permanent employees
are kept on the roads under the direc
tion of the chief engineer of the prov
ince for the purpose of Insuring the
observance of the regulations and look
lng after the constant repair of the
highways.
In Baden tbe main roads are under
the supervision of the state author!
ties and are cared for with a studious
regard for the requirements of the
farmer and inland travel, tinder the
law relating to roads In Baden the
duty of maintaining the road falls as
follows: One-quarter each upon the
townnnd county in which the road Is
situated, the remaining one-half upon
the state treasury.
In Italy tbe minister of public works
Is at tbe head of the department of
public works. The construction - of
these roads Is in most cases under
taken by contracts, the work being
carried on under direction of govern
ment engineers. The government road
laborers are called 'fcantounlers" and
arc selected with great care, special
reference being bad to character and
honesty. They must be of robust con
stitution and must be able to read and
write. Each one of these contonnlers
is provided with a full set of tools and
Implements specified by law. His hours
of worlfc are from sunrise to sunset,
and each day be Is obliged to go over
tbe entire track of road placed In bis
charge. He must be constantly upon
the line of bis work In all kinds of
weather and In case of necessity Is
bound to work on nubile holidays. His
chief duties are the leveling and repair
of the highways, the removal of snow,
mud, dust, etc. He must assist travel
ers In distress and vehicles disabled by
accident or by weather, and for any
neglect of duty be may be fined, sus
pended or dismissed, according to the
degree of the offense.
Tbe fines accumulated during the
year are divided among the deserving
contonnlers or given to ono of the mu
tual benefit association vt which tboy
are members. Oantooniers who serve
with, credit and (distinction ifor three or
more years are prompted and. given an
increase of monthly wages. In the five
years from 1873 to 1878 Itnly spent
nbout $10,000,000 on her ronds, al
though before thnt appropriation was
made mnny excellent highways existed
In nil parts of the kingdom. In 1881
Italy constructed about 120 miles of
new road nnd hnd then nbout 11,040
miles In couree of construction.

ROADS OF AMERICA.
Progress in the Bnlldlnnr of HIkb
ways In the Country.
The influence of the mechnnlcnl steed
on our civilization Is best exemplified
In the growth and improvement of the
country highways, which, in a country
thnt stretches between two ocenns nnd
includes within its boundary nenrly all
the climates and physical characteris
tics of.n mighty continent, have been
slowly evolved from the nlmost India
tlngulshnblc trail of the pioneer set
tlors Into ronds of high engineering
skill nnd achievement, says Gunton's
Magazine. The Americnn country
ronds hnve lagged in the develop
ment of the nation's material growth
and expansion until within tho past
few yenrs. With the exception of
tho few old postronds, established In
colonial days, when tho stagecoach
wns tbe only vehicle for comfortable
travel, there were not more than two
or three country highways of pnssnble
physlcnl condition, summer nnd winter,
a score of years ngo In the United
Stntcs.
Military ronds were the cnrllest in ex
istence in nil countries, nnd the protec
tive necessity of having dlffererit parts
of the empire Joined together by high
ways over which an army could be
quickly moved inspired most of the
grent engineering-tents in rondbuild
ing of the past. This factor had little
or no influence in American industrial
life. Our boundaries did not abut
those of powerful nntions with whom
we might at any time wage wnr; con
scquently no thought of establishing
lines of fortifications, connected by
military hlghwnyB, ever entered the
hends of our most warlike legislators or
presidents. Military roads were not
features of our national development
and, though potent factors in the
growth of mnny Enropenn states, they
were nlmost nil In Americnn history.
The modern rondbuilding movement
is nttributed to the bicycle nnd nutomo
bile, but It must be said that it was
rather the conditions of the times
which were ripe for the change, that
mailc the popularity of these mechanic
nl steeds. Railroad construction had
almost reached its limit. Important
trunk lines were already paralleling
each other so that they cut disastrously
Into each other's profits, nnd the most
Important pnrts of the country were
Joined together by the ribbons of steel
Rnllroad stocks were declining in val
ue, profits were becoming reduced, and
capital was chary of investing In new
enterprises of this character.
What the country needed was more
feeders country roads leading from
farms, mines and producing lands. For
months in the year the grent ngrlcul
tnrnl sections were shut off from the
railroads by almost Impassable country
roads. Mills fnd manufacturing plants
located on streams or water thnt fur
nlsh excellent motive power could not
mnrkct their products in winter. The
logging camps and the mining compa
nles were likewise helpless in winter.
Thus for a good portion of the year the
country commerce was paralyzed and
the producing. centers were cut off from
the world.
SENATOR EARLE'S SCHEME.
now lie Would Seeare Good Roads
In This Country.
The unique fjgure in the "good roads
world" Is State Senator Earle of De
troit. He was at one time connected
with the department of good roads in
qulrles at Washington as nn expert,
which ofllce he wns obliged to relin
quish upon his election to ,the sennte.
ue iins a scheme which If put into
practice would soon bring tho mlllen
nlal dawn of good roads, says the Phil
adelphln Isorth American. In explain
ing ills scheme he suld:
"Firpt, 1 would have the government
make good rond tnups of each countv
In the United States, showing all the
public highways. I would have bad
roads printed in red, fairly cood ones
in blue and tbe improved roads in black.
U'nese would be published in pocket
rorm ana sold for 5 cents each at all
postoracee. This would in effect com
pel every farmer to see to it that his
road was improved, for he would Boon
see the advantage of having his farm
locaiea on one of the Improved roadB.
vuecona, J would levy a tax of 00
cents a year on every vehicle in the
land. This alone would yield an an
nual revenue of several millions. It
would furnish all the funds necessary
for tbe purpose. Tho tax would be a
trifle and would be, cheerfully paid by
moat people so long as it was to be de
voted to the betterment of highways."
