WAYNE COUNTY, MICHIGAN, WHERE nearly one hundred miles of Concrete Roads have been built in the past six years, `.during which time nearly every method of . road construction has been tested, now comes out flat-footed and adopts concrete as the road standard. The story is best told in the following para- graph which has been taken from the latest report of the Board of County Road Com- missioners of Wayne County, Michigan. "With the completion of Plymouth Road,. we have abandoned every other form of con- struction and have adopted concrete as our standard. We feel that our experience of the. past six years warrants us in arriving at this determination, based on its general satisfactor- iness and its annual cost as compared with other forms of construction. • In addition to the economy in hauling, the pleasure in driving and touring, and the increase in land valuation, the concrete roads of Wayne County have been the means of bringing tens of thousands of dollars to this locality". Concrete roads will benefit any locality proportionately as they have benefited Wayne County, Michigan.

Stauffer- V.—Men With Axes to Grind It is just a hundred years ago since Charles Minez; planted the apt phrase, 1 "An axe to grind," into our vocabu- lary, but meanwhile it has grown to the sturdiness of a Shakespear e•tn metaphor. A stranger by much fiat ,tory induced the youthful Charles to take him to the grindstone, brin;r Water for the grinding, and turn the crank while the man put an edge on ;his axe, His constant smiles awl praises ceased with the worlc, and hearing the school bell ringing, he un graciqusly exclaimed: "Now you little rascal, you've played the truant; scud off to school, or you'll rue it," the author said he felt very much wound ed, and never- forgot the incident. Ever afterwards, when he saw one person bestowing fulsome flattery on another, he said to himself, "That ma - has an axe to grind," Not that every man who says more than he literally means by way cf compliment is guilty of this misde- meanor. Some men are flatterers by constitution. They always call things Perfectly beautiful when they redly think them tolerably fair. Phillf5,: Brooks found, early in his ministry, that his indiscriminate praise of ba- bies was getting him into no end of 'trouble, so he adopted one remark for 'every infant presented, always say- ing, "Well, well; now that Is a baby!" But Aesop furnishes a sample of the axe -grinding kind of flattery in the fable of the fox who wheedled the Meat from the crow's bill by express- hng his regret that the bird's mag- nificent anniflcent plumage should be coupled ;with such a poor voice. The lusty caw, intended to refute the reflection, of course released the prize. "Your voice is right enough," chuckled Rey - hard, "but your wit is wanting." Moral: When a man's compliment manifestly stretches the truth, he is looking for your sweet morsel. Solo- mon puts it 'thus: "A. matt that flat- tereth his neighbor spreeletn a net for his feet." Some substitute a small favor for, flattery. The stranger who offers you a cigar at the outset of the interview srobably thinks the expected commis- sions will recoup the outlay. Mer- chants say that the treating drummer is going out of style. The buyer knows that if he accepts the invita- tion to go around the corner with the salesman, he himself is doing the set- ting up. Axe -grinding is a case of swapping favors, but the other fellow claims the privilege of deciding the nature of both articles exchanged. At the psychological moment of a church reception, a little girl stepped up to the new pastor's wife with an enormous bouquet of roses. Tucked into the centre was found a card read- ing, "Compliments of Smith and Jones, ',Grocers." They might have added, "and axe -grinders." When a man hands out a Masonic grip upon his introduction, I always suspect, if a business matter is im- pending, that he is anxious to get a grip on the new brother's pocketbook. It is in better taste to give the secret token in the farewell clasp. Young man, let me counsel you not to join a lodge for the favors you can secure from its membership. Some do it; some advise others to do it. If a man suggests that you ought to become a Mason or a Mac- cabee, an Owl or an Elk, because it Would help you in your business, tell him that if you really want to exploit your brother man, you will join the Ancent Order of Hounds. It is entirely legitimate to join a lodge for good fellowship, discipline public in P in deportment or training speech,butdo not, I raYyou, become a lodge man for the pull it will give you. The best pull' is that of your own right arm. If it is weak, all the lodges in the world won't help you; if it is strong, you will not need a lodge grip at the end of it. Some fools still think that secret society 'affiliations will keep a rogue out of jail, A judge who observed the culprit be- fore him for sentence give some se. •cret sign of distress, said: "Sir you "should have given that signal 'while You were being tempted to commit this crime, and answered it yourself." The real friendship, that of David 'and Jonathan, that Of Damon and Pythias, will always be found in all grades of society. It is uncommercial, 'because it expects no returns. And yet, it turns out to be most profitable, for its benefielent dividends continue, ;even unto the tomb. , SERMONS OUT OF oirtrECH • t By the l2eV.

Tho Master presents this steeple duality to our gaze in the parable of the Good Sa- maritan. The heterodox outsider ministered to the unfortunate man whops the church leaders had passed_ .by, They were too busy wtili eccle- siastical matters to serve God; he, unencumbered with the program of tivu day's temple services, had time to love ' his neighbor. Loving our neighbor, by the way, is the only way wehave ofshowing our love to Gcd, Concern for others is . the one iquality in the Man of Galilee which hasprompted the world to take Him 'as its model forever, It is the stuff that saints are made of. Concern for ;gapers is the .one thing about Father, ;Damien entitling him to a place among ;the world's herons. Concern for wounded soldiers is what prompted Florence Nightingale and Clara Bar - On to deeds which men will always call Christlike, Concern for the deep - 'sea fishermen' of Labrador is making Dr, 'Grenfell one of the apostles of the twentieth century. And concern for others is the connecting link whereby we in our smaller spheres may become members' of the fratoi- nity of earth's real saviours. The humblest, the most imperfect of us may acquire and develop an unselfish interest in our neighbor, which hal- anced with a legitimate self preser- vation will give our lives a correct poise Interest in the moral and mental welfare of other people, especially of • the young will supply us with a suf- ficient code of ethics. We will shape our conduct by the question: What will harm my fellow man? Harming myself will eventually do him harm.'i So whatever hurts me or him is wrong. Can you have a better regu- lator for (your; conscience than this. Concern for others makes us forget our own troubles. A nurse in a hos- pital gave a splendid illustration of this mighty doctrine in a device she employed to quiet a little flve-year-old Sufferer who just had her limb am- putated. For hours the young woman With a white coronet struggled with her charge in a vain attempt to get Tier to sleep. But the little girl's pleas for her mamma were alternated with a cry, "It surts! It surts!" The nurse kept humming away with her cheek down close to the little face, and her hand patting the curly head. Angels never saw a sight more holy. But the patient couldn't be lulled to sleep. A series of sobs, punctuated by short quavering sighs, were followed IV a scream, "It surts; it surts." Suddenly a clever idea reinforced that. nurse's resources. She got a big doll and held it towards the little girl keying, "Dolly's -hurt; put her to sleep. Dolly's foot hurts too; put Dolly to 31eep." The child reached for the doll. Nurse started a lullaby: "Go :o sleep, my dolly dear." The little girl became interested in the effort. and joined in singing, "Go to sleep, my doily dear." Then there were Some broken -off sighs and some long, long breaths, and nurse's voice, now singing a solo, became lower and lower until she came softly away, for deary was asleep beside her dolly. Oh that nurse was a brick! She represented the most Christlike spirit of this age and she. -unconsciously it, lustrated the great fact that in sooth- ing others we ourselves sink into peace. SERMONS OUT OF CHURCH By the Rev. Byron H. Stauffer V11.—Too Much Baggage to Win The most unique race I ever saw was between two passenger trains. The race -track lay between Niagara Falls and Tonawanda, NI. Y. One train was on the Lehigh tracks; the other on the New York Central. Both trains were belated, so . schedules were ignored, and throttles were opened wide. They had a fair start, and for a piffle or two the two great steeds ran heck -and -neck. The firemen threw on more coal and the engineers ineers leaned forward on their seats as riders in the saddle, The passengers enjoyed the sen- sation; it seemed as if we had left the earth, so smoothly did we fly. Then to look across and see that the people in the New York Central train were becoming excited as folks get over a baseball game made us all rank Lehigh partisans at once. Handker- chiefs were Waved and fists were shaken. But by and by I noticed that the Central train was gaining ever so slightly upon us. I needed to hold my head in a certain position and use the side of the window as a guage in order to notice it at all. Just then the conductor said, "They'll win, I'm afraid, for they have a lighter load." "Flow so?" 1 asked, for I had notice!, that each train carried ilve cars, "Well, one of our ears is chock full of Canadian trunks and satchels," III replied, "and that fact will beat ud in the nein two railed."

Don't carry too much baggage, SERMONS OUT OF CHURCH By the Rev. Byron H. Stauffer VIII.—Somebody's Sister In our old school reader was a poem entitled "Somebody's Mother." It told of an old woman helped across the busy, slippery street by a bright lad. die who returned to the merry group of his fellows to say: is somebody's mother, boys, you know, nor all she is aged and poor and plow." ". wish a rhyme could be given us "Somebody's Sister," to stir the ioblest imaginations of our youths, and elevate their demeanor towards every young woman they meet. , Somebody's sister waits on you in the restaurant,' my boy. She comes from a home with parents and•broth- ers and sisters clustered in its mem- ories. Hers may be a humbler circle than your sister knows, but to her brother she le just as precious as the maiden who will greet you at dinner to -night is to you. So be gallant to the waiter girl. Somebody's sister is the chamber- maid at the hotel that sheltered you last night. She has the meanest task in the house, and usually does it well. Too often she is forgotten, except !when rude jibes or suggestive jokes :are passed. Women travelers can ac- quire no more Christlike habit than 'that of encouraging the girl who makes the .beds, Somebody's sister clicks the type• iwriter in your office, young man. The ;angel of your home does not need to call forth the heroism that the stenographer exercises every morning .as she prepares for her daily bread - ;winning feat. I knew a young woman ,whose father's sudden death compel. led her to leave her piano and paint- toqualify lessons in order as a .stenogr a her. Her swift Rogers soon supported her frail mother and two Ilittle sisters. By and by, the young :fellow in the next office cultivated her acquatntance. One day, when he ,thought matters were ripe, he motored 'her out to see a lot his rich father ,had given Vint. After some effort, he succeeded in explaining that, if she'd have him, he would put up a nice ,bungalow in the autumn. She took 'the proposition home with her, bal- anced it with her duty to her three ;charges, and then, after a half day's crying. declined it and cheerily went back to her work, You can afford to tip your hat to the stenographer, my son. Treat her with respect, and keep a clenched fist ready for any scoundrel who doesn't. Somebody's sister is behind the counter where you buy your box of candy.

And the candy girl Is, likely lust as sen, °hive and of as fine a fibre .as your sister is.. Bestow the same courtesy upon her which you would want to be shown the girl you guard so teal. ously. Such bordering bests as you Might thoughtlessly give her would soon wear the enamel off her purity. Somebody's sister is walking by the street corner where you and your ohume are congregating to -night, You are feeling, merry, with a bit of loose change in your pocket and the day's work over, -A group of Young fellows will recklessly make remarks about a passing woman in the evening, which one young man, alone, wouldn't think 'of expressing next morning, Set the bound of decency against your buoyancy. The next young woman to happen along may be your sister or your sweetheart, If your chum, not knowing, should offer her an insult, there would be trouble, wouldn't there? My son, if you drag down some young woman, you shall not escape a harvest of remorse. Retribution is not a present theme of our pulpits. That subject is left to our novelist.. who, I sometimes think, are our real preachers. Hall Caine in "The Deem ster" and "The Prodigal Son" de- livers sermons that clergymen too often fear to preach, His warning is, "Be sure your sin will find you out." Crimes against virtue rebound to push the sinner into an earthly hell. I say to you, young man, if any act or word or gesture of yours con- tributes to the influences that lure a young maiden from innocence to guilt„ from decency to degradation, whether your part in the matter 'is the flt'st seductive beckon or the last abrupt push, or any et the intermediate steps, know that eternal Vengeance will find you, out and require her blood at your hands. Over every girl baby's cradle Christ bends to -night to say, "Whosoever shall offend one of these little ones, it were better that a millstone were hanged about his neck and that he were droWned in the depths of the sea." Love for our own mothers ought to awaken respect for everybody's sister. If only mothers knew their power, and could throw off the mock modesty that prevents plain speech, they could turn the affection of their sons to practical account by awakening with- in the young men's breasts the chiv airy that protects womankind the world over. John Ruskin said that ho promised his mother to treat all women with respect, and he kept his word. • Mothers, get your boy to solemnly swear by the love he bears you to be a son to the matron, a brothel. to the maiden, and, by and • by, a father to the little children. HE FOUGHT THE BEARS. Story of Old Hotel and Its Soldier, Patrons. The destruction of an old building will often cause an old resident to turn back the pages cf memory and relate tales of the days of old. Thus it was that three or four gentlemen listened with a great deal of interest do a few lunch hour stories about the days when the old Bank of Upper Canada, King and Frederick streets, that is now demolished, was a thriv- in,; institution in a good section of the city. • "I used to live right close to the bank," said the eldest of the group, a man of possibly sixty-five years, "and two or three doors from, the bank, down the street, a man kept a hotel. In Toronto of those days the Sunday ligtr laws were not enforced as they should have been, and this tavern - keeper, in order to induce custom to his place on Sundays without too much publicity, tried a rather novel idea.- "From dea."From a circus which went defunct in Toronto he bought four bears, big black fellows, and chained. themin his back yard, and ordered that any one coming to see the bears would have to pass through the bar -room. As a consequence, a large number came to see the bears on Sunday and many of them stayed for a consider- able length of time. "At length the news got to the sol- diers in the fort, and a few of them came down one Sunday morning to. see what was in the air. One of h o t es chaps was big six-footer, p aand g after he had the bar and ex- amined the bears at some length he commenced to feel in a fighting mood. The hotel man didn't want a fight in his house on Sunday, so he sent him out to fight the bears. The soldier went out and found the bears all asleep, so he swatted the largest of them three or four goods ones on the nose, and with this rude awaken- ing Bruin got up to see what it was all about. The soldier struck out once or twice more, and the bear got him within his grip and hugged him so tight he broke his arm. It took several men to get the soldier from the bear's grasp and take him to a nearby surgeon." Another Canadian Woman Doctor.

This enabled her tss remove smaller refuse. The residuum she put into the next smaller platter, and she repeated the process until there was a quantity of sand and gravel ready for treatment. This she sprinkled freely with water and by a deft circular movement of tbe platter brought the small gravel to the outside, where It could be thrust over the edge.

THE OBLATE ORDER. SVidespread Body Ras Many Members Throughout Canada. Three hundred English-speaking Ottawa University students went on strike recently, paraded through, the city, and raised a general hulabaloo because Father James Fallon, prefect of studies, was banished by the Ob- late Order, which controls the Uni- vsrsity, on account of having sided with the Irish against the Frenp4.-ins. the recent Separate School Board elections, The students recognizing that it was impossible to secure the return of Father Falcon, were deter- mined to have an English-speaking successor, preferably Father Murphy, appointed to the vacant chair. Threats of expulsion of the ringlead- ers brought the strike to an untimely end the following day and an -.pology was made to the authorities by the students, The Order of the Oblates, to which Father Fallon belonged, was founded in the year 1578 in the diocese of Milan, and was one of the many re- forms introduced by the archbishop, St. Charles Borromeo. Activity was shown in Aix, Provence, France, in 1782, Mgr. Mazenod then being in charge, When first instituted the members were under the direct rule of the bishop, and could do nothing except under his ruling. The ord'er was recognized and ap- proved of in the year 1826 by Pope Leo XII. Since then its advance has been rapid. Its aims, as laid down by Pope Leo, were ma'nly for mis- sionary work among the heathen and savages, teaching, and parochial care. At present the mother house is situ- ated in Rome—the Via da Feltre— and is under the charge of Superior - General A. Donteneuil, formerly of Vancouver, Canada. An Oblate priest is one of the Roman Catholic faith belonging to the Oblate Order, But the difference between the Oblate and secular order is In that the Oblate priest is not bound by the vows or the religious profession. The Order of Oblates of Mary Immaculate was founded at Marseilles in 1815. Since then its growth has been rapid, Canada per- haps possessing the greatest number of the order. It was introduced into England in 1857 by Cardinal Man- ning, and now has nine branches. Ire- land has two, and British India and the States also have many. It was first introduced into Canada in 1841, when a mission was com- menced at St. Hiliare, Quebec, from w'ience it spread rapidly through Quebec and the western provinces. In 1848 the Oblates founded Ottawa College, and not until 1889 was it sanctioned by the Pope, In 1866 it received its status as a university. It is still run purely by the Oblate priests, and all of its graduates be- come Oblates. The priests, both Eng- lish and French-speaking, are Ob- lates. Ottawa College is the only Ob- late institution in Ontario. In all, there are some six -hundred Oblates in Canada at the present time, which number includes six bishops and two archbishops; in fact, the Oblate Order far exceeds the se- cular order in numbers in Canada, and is rapidly continuing to gain. The secular order is not losing ground, but it is not gaining, whereas the Ob- late Order is year by year getting a hold which cannot be easily unloosed. The Oblate bishops and archbishops in Canada are as follows: Archbishop Langevin, St. Boni"ace; Archbishop Legal, Edmonton; Bishop Pascal, Prince Albert; 13ishop Breyant, Mc- Kenzie; Bishops Grouard and Jou- sourd of Athabasca; Bishop Charle- bois, Keewatin, and Bishop Falcon of London. The Oblate Ceder above all is not secular. Introduced first as a reform, it gained Iittle headway until placed in England, and particularly Canada, where its success has been very re- markable. It is designed as a reform on secularism, and the rriests invar- iably, when asked to choose, take to tho Oblates.--Torcnto Star W ekiy.
