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

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

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.

e Hae Educated 300:Girls.

" 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. A bountiful repast of
delicacies and fruits in season tended to still
further increase the enjoyment, Mrs. A.
Thompson acting as hostess.
—Mr. John McLennan, of the 7th conces-
sion of Wallace, near Listowel, was bedly
injured in a runaway accident on Thursday,
28th ult. He was struck in the breast and
fell with his head between the bolster stake
and the wheel, where the spokes ground the
flesh from the back of his head. Hie right
leg got tangled up, it is supposed, with the
wheel, and it was broken in three or four
places. His injuries are very severe, but
his recovery is hoped for.

to Mr. Thomas Alexander, of Britton, for
the sum of $5,000. The owner takes pos-
session on March let. Mr. Gray will prob-
ably remove to Stratford to live, where
several of his children are comfortably lo-
cated. Next January it will be 39 years
since Mr. Gray first came to Elms, then a
trackless forest, and by pluck, push and
perseverance succeeded in hewing out of the
rough forest a comfortable home for himself
and family.
—Captain F. Freeman, who has been in
charge of the Salvation Army in Listowel,
for some months, and who farewelled some
two weeks ago, has not been able to leave
that town yet, on aceount of the very severe
illness of his wife and baby. Mrs, Freeman
is in a very weak condition at present, and
it will be some weeks before she will be able
to leave for her home in Clinton., On Sat-
urday, last week, Captain Freeman was
summoned to the bedside of his mother at
Clinton, but before he arrived she had died,
and was buried on Monday. She was only
sick two days.
=Monday evening, last week, a fire broke
out in the sheds in connection with Roth's
brewery, in Listowel. 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,
