AULT Seaforth. 1 Bradit reet's Journal recently sent in- quiries 11 over that part of the United States 1 ing east of the Rocky Mountains relative to the condition of country nads, the effe t of the same on the price of agricul ural products. etc. Replies were 'receive from over 1000 persons at 313 cities at d towns in 28 States. Acc rding to thes it was found that Ntith direct county or State appropriationS for , coun- try roa improvement, such as prevails in som' portions of the east' the best class c.il roads are a result withl littl fric- tion or:disagreement. At th6 sou h and southwest,. here are found the far ing- out of road improvement to t llgate companies, the system . of wOrking countyiprisoners on county roadq, a di- rect road tax, and the requiring o ,men 21 to 50 years of 'age or thereabo4its to a work tv ' o to six days on the roadeach year, , o the payment of what is regard- ed as n equi4leat sum of m ney— where! 11 these; systems of improving roads are emplOved, results shown ate - far fr ' m satisfactory. The sonthern half of New England appears to have fairly ood interier highways, astern _ Massa husetts leading, but sec nd in all probability, ;to New Jersey, ,which lying between the great centers a popu- lation in Southern' New York and eastern Pennsylvania—appears possess- ed of relatively the best, most widely extended and most rapidlyextending sys- tem of icountry roads of any similararea, Thei e have been excellent road built through southern and easten Nev'rk State, and on Long Island and Staten 1:7 r Island,' in portions of Connecticut, and in parte of the coal regions of Pennsyl- vania, in the rich farming districp near Lancaster, and in sections of the north- eastern and northern portions . Of the Keystone State. One may add to these some of the Maryland highways, i roads adjacent to Baltimore, Lewes and over, Del., District of Columbia roads leading to and from a few points, and,, with qualifications, roads near Nerfolk, Charlestown, Chattanooga, Nashville, Anniston, Birmingham and Mobile. Among 'roads reported in Ohio and Ken- tucky, there appear comparatively few which are really good ntt the region covered by this investigation, when the best type of eastern New Jersey or Mas- sachusetts country roadway is taken as a standardi of "good." Many correspon- dents have declared roads.good, butihave , admittedin another paragraph they were in some respocts distinctly not good. From Maifie to Texas and from Georgia to Minnesota prices of farm products have beeii advanced unduly because of delays to iliterior wagon traffic by heavy 'roads. Ili comparatively few instances no adva ce is reported' 'because good roads have been in existence for a num- ber of yeare, thus leaving correspondents ! to report "no effect" on prices of agricul- tural stapl e due to .bad roads. Quota- tions for p etatoes,hay, butter and eggs, and almost all farm products, are includ- ed among those lbecified, In many in- stances prices o these products have been high lin cities! and towns, owing to scarcity, and the Farmer, if roads would have perroilged him to get to town and sell his surplus. ;would have been able to pay his 1-6ad tax from the extra profit. The effect e ' bad country roadways on mercantile co11ections, interest and dis- count rates, can no longer be questioned, so many of the ( correspondents having pointed out an rtremely unfavorable influence onliner antile collections, not only during the past:spring, but in the spring and fall of preceding years. - Many bankere and others having fi- nancial dealii gs with country merchants' explain that rates of discount on country papers are largely influenced to the de- triment of makers by bad roads, and the tendency ansOng banks is to get remu- neration for the annoyance of past -due obligations, witili a disposition to curtail accommodaticifie where prompt attention is not given. ..,Wts to the influence of good roads on values of farm lands, where there has been opportunity for intelligent reply,' it is shown that values of agri- cultural lands ave been greatly increas- ed by the impr venient of roads connect- ing the same with towns and l cities. It is only fair to add that ther is a wide divergence in opinion as to ow much the improvement in value from this cause . amount to, although three- fourths of the replies state the gain is not less than 25 1per cent. Quite a nunass her of these anknlYers give a gain as low as 10 to 20 per cent., and not a tew state that replacing bad roads with good ones has adva 'ced ihe value of adjacent property from 50, to 100 per cent. The made in attaining good roads progressh as b e e n Very uneYen. In some of the eastern and middle and a few of the western s ates,legislation has been secur- ed, rendering possible systematic work in the direction of permanently im- proving doantry Iroadways. The south is also binning to wake up to this mat- ter. Perhaps the most ambitious ques- tion am 'ng those sent out was that which asked for the "total direct and in- direct excess cost annually to farmers and country merchants in your -vicinity of bad roads, because of delayed or ir- regular Wagon traffio, in its effects on firm values, discounts, collections,etc.," and it is ignificant to note that while the number of replies is comparatively few those which have been received are from exceptionally well-informed peo lit in all instances, and lead to the conclu- sion that most of the estimates hereto- fore iiiade in public prints and elsewhere as to the aggregate loss of this character have bnen understated rather than exag- gerated. In one instance four independent replies to, the question (from a sing e coun- ty) ranged within $10,000 of an alleged grand total direct and indirect loss there amounting to $100,000 per annum from causes as quoted abOve. Replies to the questioils have been made from almost all pointe of yiew, and calculated with care by farmers, bankers, merchants, county and other officials, and while they are ;not sufficiently numerous to render Possible the compilation of a grand total of annual direct and in- direct loss to agriculturists and others because of bad roads, etc., still they do render it plain that one or two years' losses in this direction would come near gridironhig the country districts east of the Missouri River with roads which would compare favorably with the best macadamized or Telford a -venues at larger cities anywhere in the United States. The heretofore prevailing esti- mate of the total annual road tax of $120,000,000 is therefore .probably less, than one-half the total annual loss due *0 bad highways throughout country disir10111 United State* Railway Mileage. The' total railway mileage of the coun- try on June 30, 1892, was 171,563.52 miles, being an increase during the year of 3160.78 miles. This is the smallest in- orease in railway mileage reported for a number of years. The only groups of railways which, show an increase in railway mileage in 1892 gteater than the inure*, in vest are waning I. AIM j. v., that is' to say, the railways lying in the New Englaud States and in the territory east of the Missouri River and west. of MiChigan and Indiana; but this is due to the fact that the increase in 1891 was abnormally small. The State of North Carolina leads in railway construction, showing an increase'of 212.92 miles. The only other States which show an in- orease.in excess of 150 miles are Louisi- ana, Michigan, Ohio, Pennsylvania and Wisoonsin.—Interstate .Cornmeroe Re- Port - AN EGG BOX.

If small lots of eggs are marketed. at fre- quent intervals, small boxes will be best; but if they are to be shipped, larger ones with end cleats are usually better. PUTTING THE TIDES TO WORK. The Water Wheel Coining. Back Into Use as an Adjunct of Electricity. • Next to the movement of the air, the force of falling water is the oldest of motive powers.. It would be curious, bui hardly surprising, if it should prove the latest. The utilizing of the power developing by a rise and fall of the tides is ro longer merely a dream, and the next ten years can hardly fail to wit - the development into lucrative busi- ness ventures of enterprises for turn- ing to account the millions of horse power developed in our great cataracts. The nineteenth century has been the century of steam ; the twentieth is likely to be known as the century of electricity. Men still living have seen the water wheel' make way for the steam engine, and inny still live to see the water wheel coin°. back again, only harnessed this time to an electric generator and placed scores of miles away from the mill. A hundred years hence steam may thus be regarded inerelY as an intrusive incident in the evolution, of power conversion, when the natural order has been re-es- tablislied and the transformation of water power into electricity has possibly given place to the transformation of sun- light.—New York World. • &heat, Busking Pin, - To make a _home-made pin for corn husking, take a piece of common thin leather and cut into a strip 4 in. long," one-half inch wide and -in each end cut a hole.

C 'Ids appears in the current number of the L dies' Home Journal. It is entitled, " Gir s I Have Educated." iris, as a rule, tespond more quickly to th fascinations of study than do boys, and I have always felt that they deserved Y chances."8=171MT.'",)1111111111111MIND as ma " S far as my personal experiences are come ned, gratiende has been the rule in al- most very case where I have sought, by the m ens within my power, to make it possi le for girls to acquire practical train- ing. I have up to this time educated, or rathe been the means of educating, between three and four hundred girls, and in every case I have been rewardea by their grati- tude, heir aptitude, their general excellence in be avior, and their more general success in their chosen careers. The girls in whom I have been especially interested, and who I always feel have firet *claims upon me, are the daughters of journalists—the men and women of my own proffesion are always nearest my heart. After them come tee daughters of clergymen. As a rule, Ihe children of newepap, r men are quick s ready to grasp opportunities, and it, ha. therefore been with panicultr pleasure that I have offered them opportunities to help themselves," "These girle have come from almost every state in the Union, They have been brought to my notice through their friends, and through etrangers. One young _girl came ail the way from a small town in Nor- way to nay offiee in Philadelphia." "01 these girls, strange to say, not one has entered the newspaper profession. There have been several lawyers and doc- tors, many teachers, artists, bookkeepers, accountants, cashiers and aeoretaries, trained nurses and elocutionists, and several aspir- ants for the lyric and dramatic stage." "The teachers have, without exception, been successful ; so have the graduates of law and medicine,and of the Nurses' Train- ing School. `.-Tire--girle who had ambitions for pablio careers have met with only -or- dinary succese. Probably those trained for elocutionists have made the most money." "The girls of inimical and artistic capa- bilities have been given every advantage possible in the way of home and foreign training. Several of them have been edu- cated in Paris several in Berlin, others in Vienna. In the selection of schools and teaehers there has been no general rule ; sometimes I have selected both, at other times the girls or their friends have made the choice. In all oases only the best of either have been employed. For one young girl who seemed especially endowed -with a voice Mlle. Christine Nilsson was requested to iea the teacher. The salaries received by these girls have averaged from five hun- dred to several thousand dollars a year ; one received as high as dye thousand." "All the girls have become selfemapport- ing, most of them have married, and all (I think I am safe in saying this) have made good wives. All of them have deferred to my request that the men of their choice should be honest and well able to take care of them, and, so far as I know, not one of them has found a husband who has presumed upon hie wife's ability to earn money to ex- pect her to contribute to his support'? "It is not generosity that has made me helpful in this .respect to girls ; it le in part selfishness. I want to know that it is oil.- oulating—that is doing good. I sometimes feel that the only money I have is that which I have given away. The rest is just waiting. The money that I have spent upon other people has been that which I most en- joyed. Many rich men have done as much, many have done more. I think Mr. 'Drexel hes done the noblest work of all, by fount ing his School of Industrial Art." Coffee as a Disinfectant. The use of coffee as a disinfectant is gen- erally known, but it is doubtful if the ma- jority of people are aware of its true value In this direction. They probably know that it is handy and harmless ; but besides these qualities it is really one of the most power- fal and effective agents known, as has been shown by repeated experiments. In one case a que,nity of meat was placed in a close room and allowed to decompose. A 'chafing dish was.then introduced and 500 grammes of coarse coffee were thrown on the fire, In a few Minutes the room had been entirely disinfected. In another room, the fume e of snlphurated hydrogen and am- monia were developed, and the smell— which no words oan express—was destroyed in half a minute by the use of ninety grammes of coffee. As a proof that the noxious smells are really decomposed and not merely overpowered by the fumes of coffee'it is stated that the firet vapors of the ooffee are not smelled at all, and STO therefore chemically absorbed, while the other smells gradually ,diminish as the fumi- gation continues. The merest si pinch " of coffee ie usually sufficient to cleanse a siok room, even in aggravated cases. The beet way to employ it is to freshly pound the coffee in a mortar, if no mill is at hand, and sprinkle iton a red hot iron surface.—From Good Housekeeping, —Mr. John Muir, of Avonbank, gave a musical party to a number of invited guests on a recent evening. Nearly all present were good singers, including some gentle- men from St. Marys, all joined in singing sacred choruses, which, with some songs, duette and readings caused the time to pass very pleasantly.

The fire caught in the middle building, which was full of sheaf oats, peas and hay, and spread quickly both ways. There was quite a delay in getting the engine to the fire, and when it did arrive some minutes elapsed before it was ready to throw water on the burning buildings. Dur- ing the delay a large barn took fire, and in a short time was enveloped in flames, and was soon destroyed together with its con- tents. There was some insurance on the property destroyed, IMM AFTER SICKNESS to tone up the• system, and bring back a healthy appetite, physicians recommend the use of CAMPBELL'S QUININE WINE.
