The difference between a gond road and a bad road is the differ- ence: between comfortable clothing and Me, between a full meal and a scant *e""" Iali L s A good road is a.. thing of beauty e and a Soy forever, while .a bad roa.'1 is an abomination, A good road needs no friends, a bad road never had any. Bad. roads are expensive from any point of view. Each year they cost thiseouutry more.. money than would build a Arse crass highway half across the continent, to say nothing of the annoyance aud dis. comfort which must be experienced by the millions who; are obliged to use them, Good roads are a paying invest- ment. They increase the value of every acre of farm property, save time, wear and tear on wagons, harness and horse- flesh and make it possible for country people to enjoy privileges that would Otherwise be beyond their reach.-Mu- xlicipel World. What's the matter with each Munici- pal Council in Huron County calling the Pathtnesters of their respective munici- palities together, at some convenient time before roadwork is commeuoed,and discussing tate various phases bf work to be done and the best way of doing it? One weak spot in the past has been the , want of uniformity, so much so that in driving over the roads you could almost tell where the different beats began and ended. A program could be mapped ex/at at such a meeting as to the use of the grader, the building of new culverts or repairs necessary to old ones, the price- of gravel, the using of a stone. prusher, &e., and we have no doubt the discussion would do good. Old fashion- ed customs could be dropped, if in vogue, for better ones and every Path - master would feel a greater interest in his overseeing since some atteutiou was beiug paid from a municipal standpoint. Copies of the report of A. W. Campbell, Commissioner of highways, could be ob- tained by applicatiou to the Provincial Parliament buildings, Toronto, which would. prove suggestive aud helpful, A little enthusiasm shown on the part of the township Councils in the road ques- tion.wonl'd have a good effect aud pro- ducefiue results. At the present time the keeping up of roads aud bridges con- stitute a large share of municipal ex- penditure hence the desirability of per- manency in all these undertakings. - Brussels Post SIGNS OF SPRING. - It Is a Season When Most People Feel Miserable, Easily Tired and Fagged Out.

The gambling mania invades almost every city and town iu Canada, and many promising young men are beiug ruined fivaucially and morally. The homes of rich and poor alike, says an exchange, have been, entered by the gambling fascination, and many a defal- cation has been settled quietly by the weal, hy parents of ti youug man who has played "poker" or dabbled in stocks and cause out second best, This age is so fast, and people are, going at such a pace that"plodding" is•no louger cousid- ered commendable. Every where the desire to get rich quick is all-absorbiug. The pace cannot be maintained and a re• vulsion is bound to come .soouer or later. It is routmach wonder railway com- panies and other large corporations put detectives on the trail of young tneu who apply for positions. A young mau who keeps clear of ell forms of ,gambling is not easy to find these days, aud when one is discovered the gates of advance- ment are open wide to him, Many a bright young man of attractive appear- ance is turned away from a good posi- tionbecause after his application the Company or firm by a systent of espiou. age, discovers that he frequents queetiou able places or indulges in some form of humoredity. Meanwhile the young men who are sneered at as "goody -good" are claiming the best positions, while the "fast young mail is getting in the back- ground and losing the good -will, of re- spectable people. Thera is something in this for our young men • to think about. -Mitchell Advocate. Just a Sample Case. [Hanover Post. ) No oue can seriously object to n citizen sendiug to Toronto or elsewhere for goods when it is not possible to obtain what is wanted iu his own town. Bat The annual meeting of the officers of tied 83rd regiment washeld ie Goderich last week. The business done was of a retinue character. There was a dearth of officers in the regiment at present, ow- ing to the removal of se many front the limits, aud a number of new appoint - meets may be expected. The Minister of li'inance has written in i reply to the grocer's request for the issue of a new esi Dominion of Canada bank note to replace the one used, the grocers claiming that the figures on the present bill is frequently mistaken for a one. • Mr, Fielding premised that the Se bill now in oirealation will be withdrawn, and that the new issue %vitt render mis- takes of the kind stated impossible. - - - rather inquisitive person who decided to examine it and locate the manufacturer, On turning the couch over, the shipping tag of a Hanover firm was found tacked to a slat. The managers of the depart. mental stores should consider the feel- ings of their customers by removing the manufacturers mark when the buyer and the maker are located in the same towel. Hanover, however, has not a monopoly of the "dis appointe l ones." The follow- ing is told of a Chesley man who had de• sided to refurnish his home; lie had fully made up his mind not to buy a thing made in Chesley, "as it was not goad enough," he confided to a friend. A Toronto firm got the order. When the furniture arrived a local man assist. ed in putting it together and found a fair percentage of one of the Ohesley factor- ies. Had the departmental lnan been up to his business he would have substitu- ted the maker's tag for "made in New York," And his enstomer would have been happy for life. A Sluggish Inactive Liver loyalty to local interests suggests that the local merchants be given a chance to show what they can do, before there is a rash to departmental stores or other hooses in Toronto. It is astouishiug how much money is sent out of town this way. Hanover is a town of indus- trial reputation; it has first-class stores; its business places are as up-to-date as Could be expected by the most exacting individuals. Especially is Hanover fam- ous and couspiouons as a furniture man- ufacturing town and it seems absurd 1 that local emporiums which sell that class of goods should be slighted or over- looked above all others, but suck is the case as the following will show: The I other day a couch from a Toronto de- partmental store was put off at the sta. tion here for a man in town. The articl was attractive and caught the eye of a When the liver is clogged by the inac. tivityrofthe kidneys and bowels,it becomes • torpid attd fails to filter the bile from the blood, thus producing b,liousness and a general impalement of the digestive system.

Irl this age of cowinereial afire esive. pees the than who advertises stands out iu bold head lines, and iu the tuujority of cases is the loan who wins. Tit s branch of Ina business requires us care. fol watchiug and direotiug as. the iii aures; fu fact, there is it better tipper utility to exercise goad judgmeut iu the auvertieeiueut departauegt then tit the tiututcital, because the poseibilititss of the former aro unlimited, while the latter is limited to it simple record of actual transactions. Your adverticiug will not tante care of itself, and the Mea who vett tuxes iuto the field without nuy regurd to the foot will sq Bauder bath valuable time fwd motley, But it ntnst be re- Membered that advertising means more than "space" buying. Ie is not suffich:Me to acquire .space in a newspaper and anuouuca that Brown & Co., grocers, are prepared to supply their many customers with staple aud faucy groceries, coal oil, etc, The fact that they are grocers would convey that. Their space should be filled -with new, crisp facts, and full of life; facts that ore sure to "bit" someone. It is well to take one individual line at a time, and so thoroughly idealize it that the reader is attracted in a manner which tenches his or her palate aud in. ,duces them to try the article advertised. Results may be a little slow iu coming to the surface, butit 'canna but have its effect, aud the merchant soon feels the new impulse of life, while his nonlpetitor, who follows out old lines and does not do nuy shoatiug,'grin-lustily lags behind and takes up a position in the rearguard of the commercial column. Printer's ink is undoubtedly the great modern force; that fact is generally con• ceded, but it must be banked up by good borne influences. For iustauce, by tasty and foreetnl wiuclow and shop dressing. "Brown & Co, have taffy to sell, if they dress their windows with 1,000 sticks of the delioaa'y one is more iucliued to go in and buy than if they incidentally place one stick in their window aloug with au assertmeut of canned goods,etc. The 1,000 sticks give the inipressiou that this place is the headquarters for .taffy candy, and tothe palate of the buyer tastes all the sweeter. The argn'nent lies with the 1,000 sticks, and is applica- ble to any line. Such is human nature, and as Josh Billings said: 'People is qneer." By meeting this contingency one is hardly open to criticism. You bave the goods to sell, and your study should be how to sttraot the buyer. Toe issuing from time to time of•'cnt" price lists is like boring holes in the bot- tom of your boat; you will sink sooner or later. There is uo room for argument along this liue. History has demonstrat- ed this theory and settled it for all the time. Be original, forceful and crisp. Striven to win the respect aud confidence of the public. Keep your prices up to a profit- able basis, laud advertise. Do this aud your name is not likely ever to appear in the list of commercial,derilicts. Do You Get a Fair Start Each Day? • A man's ability and his capacity for work depends practically on the kind of start he gets each day at ltis breakfast. In professional, office, warehouse or factory work, breakfast with its dis. comfort, makes the character of the day aud determines the quality of the work accomplished. A breakfast based on Malt Breakfast Food is eaten with a zest aud relish that guarantee a store of energy for the day's work: Physicians say Malt Breakfast Food is the ideal cereal to commence the day with. It pleases the most critical: the flavor is most delicious, and the food value is ex. traordivary. One package of Malt Breakfast Food will make a meal for twenty-five people. Grocers every- where. There se •ms to be general agreement that Mr. Andrew Miscatnpbell has been an able and useful member of the Legis. latnre, and therefore it is to be regretted that corrupt practices were resorted to in his election in Sault Ste Marie on such a scale as to have resulted itt his being miseated and probably retired from public, life. The "Soo" election fortis another disgraceful chapter in the history of the struggle for office in On- tario, The most regrettable thing about the whole matter is that a party so loud - Iv professing itb purity aud so insistently calling for a toning -up of political ethics, should be diseuvered in the act of avail- ing itself of the corrupting influence of money, booze, and all the nefarious ma- , chinery by which the true will of the electors eau be strangled and suppress- ed. Perhaps equally regrettable is the fact that such revelations as those in the "Soo" case not only weaken popular confidence in the probity of politicians generally, but also suppler the opposite party with a "tuquoque" argument Which can be used to break the force of any conviction aI' equal wrong -doing iu its behalf. I do not suggest that Mr. 14lisealnpbell knew of the methods adopt- ed to secure his election, but I clo 'say that he ought to have known of them . and that it would have paid hint better to have suffered au limiest defeat last May than to will a victory which could not sustain jurlicai scrutiny, and the re- sult of which has been to place lits party and his leader in a painful and ridiculous posture. -Toronto Saturday Night.

Advertising Does Pay. The TIM is has on many occasions had direct evidence to show that advertising pays. •This week we Have more prove on the hatter. List week we inserted a small reader asking for copies of the 'J.'Iger of December 18th hist. A few hours after the paper liejd been issued we were in receipt of two cbpites of the TIMES of that date and since our last issue have received the required number of papers of December 18th. The following extract from a letter received by the Trues from an outside advertiser will also bear out the point that "advertising dons pay." Here it is: -"It is quite evident to me that my advt. has done the good service, and as long as I can scrape lap the $5.00, Pit just cling right to it." Advertising in the TIMES always pays.

Clever Voce of Athletic Teeters tut Which sit. ililetee Find the Westlte ii'lisyed lh•ominent Pests, ..- n A correspondent et''t s: a c. 1 �re- viewing ler: Collins' book Ott the "ehistory of the Broekleaby Hounds, " "Spedex" refers to IMMO matches of the late Sir ,l ohn Astley tri . the siuk le . and. with the gun. Keen as Sir John was on those two branches of sport, he never lost bin love for athletics, and he was in bin day no mean performer on the gin der• -Huth: indeed, he wits a sprint runner of more than avorage class, for at his best he could do the 100 yards in sonu'thing liko 10; seconds. In his prime and :us. a captain in the "[titles," Sir John (then Cap- tain .Astley) was quartered with his battalion at the Omagh, There he treacle a number of hatches with his brother officers at distances varying from 100 yards to a quarter of a mile. Sir John won theta all, and, having so firmly es- tablished his supremacy that none ,of those of equal tank would tackle hien, he i.suc.l a challenge to ran any man in the regiment a level "100" for any stake within reason. and was also prepared to back hire - self for as much money as the other side could find. Now, tho other officers were smart:-\ ing somewhat under their several de- feats To-feats and consequent heavy mone- tary losses -for a lot of money changed hands in those days -and they determined, if possible, to get their own back. Accordingly, a well-known profes- sional runner -a pian who had al- ready Won a Sheffield hauficap---was approached, and induced -for a con- sideration -to enlist in the Rifles, with, of course, a proviso that they would obtain his discharge as soon as possible after the race. Tho match was made, but Sir John, keen follower of pedestrianism' as he was, saw the Mall and quickly tumbled to his identity. Keeping his own counsel, he determined to get even with the world -be spoilers, and appeared more anxious than ever for the match to go on, and in the 'aneantitne accepted every het offered. The race was run on a bit terly cold day in January, and at the appoint- ed time up came "Mr. Pro," in per- fect costume and a brand new pair of running shoes on. He cantered' to the mark. carefully made as hole from which to "set," and 'waited for Sir John. '$'hat officer appeared in about a quarter of an hour enveloped in at tide's ulster reaching to his toes, but instead of proceeding to the mark he leisurely strolled round the ropes booking all the bets he could shake. People thought hint mad, that they were getting stoney for nothing, and greedily accepted his offers. Waving exhausted the market, a process which occupied something like half an hour. Sir John removed the ulster and toed the mark where the pro was 'waiting stiff and numb- ed with the cold. The pistol cracked and Sir John almost Ieft his opponent, stanching still, and ultimately beat him by 15 yards, whereas he should have lost by at least fpve,. When it was known that Sir .john's tactics instead of his speed had won hien the race he was ap- proached with a view to another match. - "No, thanks," was the "Mater's" answer. "You plight buy him an ul- ster next time." Observance of Sanduy in England. The' 4., are many English Iaws ex- tant itt lutive to the due observance of Sunday. Most of the old sump- tuary acts ha.t a a clause laying; clown regulations about the special clothes to be worn on Sunclaty and holidays. Ily an net of the year 1608 it fine is authorised to be lev- ied on the goods of all persons ab- senting themselves from church on Sunday, The last successful case under this act was heard in the year 1864, Isaac 'Walton, not the "cone - pleat angler," but a less famous namesake, was fined for refusing to attend church at the request of his mistress, and there is an instance on record of a boy causing his mother to be lined for the eatnte offence. Ac- cording to law, no one is allowed to take a drive in his carriage on a Sunday without getting a certificate stating that he has urgent business to perform. Prosecutions for Sun- day trading have been brought at the instance of the Sunday Closing Society; so perhaps it is worthy of note that a private gentleman may sell a horse on Sunday, but a horse dealer may not. -Chambers' Journal.
