System In Eoail Building.
THE Governor in his message
•wisely emphasizes the desir
ability of system in road
w building. He would have the
old Stale roads reopened and others
constructed, so that the improved
highways would form continuous
lines, traversing county after county
throughout the whole extent of the
State. Such roads would, of course,
connect the principal cities and large
towns of the various counties and cor
respond somewhat to trunk lines of
railroad, giving good traveling from
town to town and from county to
county, and each would greatly con
duce to the development of the com
munities along its route and to the
founding of new ones. The Governor
seems to think it appropriate that the
State itself should take the initiative
in tlm building of such roads, because
they will serve general and not merely
local interests, and it is probably de
sirable that they should be constructed
first of till
Such roads, however, will not, as the
Governor makes plain, answer the
whole need. There must be a multi
plicity of cross roads and side roads
connecting different parts of the same
towns and villages, and these are no
less important that the others. All
the people do not live on the main
roads by any means. Many a man
will drive over a side road to the vil
lage, or from one part of the town to
another, ahundred times for every sin
glo time when he will drive to the next
town or the next county on the main
highway. It would be most illogical
.?nd unjust to say that while inter
-oounty and intertown traffic shall have
good roads Intracounty and intra
town traffic shall continue to wallow
in dust and mud. This latter system
of local roads is therefore as essential
as the former. But, unlike the for
mer, it may properly, and indeed
should, be left to local initiative and di
rection.
We should have, then, two distinct
yet connected and harmonious sys
tems of roads. One would comprise
such great highways as the old Al
bany Post Road, along the eastern
bank of the Hudson River, and the
Boston Post Road, skirting the Sound.
The other would consist of intersect
ing roads, gridironing each county
ind town. The State roads might well
be made of extra width and be con
structed of trap rock, which is proba
bly the best road metal in the world,
after the most approved plan of Tel
ford and Macadam. There Is enough
trap in the talus of the Palisades and
in the quarries of Rockland County
to build such roads from Montauk
Point to Niagara Falls, and the dis
tribution of it to nearly all points
would be cheap and easy. Granite,
however, might also be used, espe
ially in combination with limestone.
The local roads might largely be
constructed of local material at much
less cost and yet be practically as ser
viceable as the others. Limestone,
which is so Avidcly distributed through
out the Slate, makes an admirable
road if properly used, some preferring
it to trap or granite because it is soft
er and therefore easier for the horses’
hoofs. Some villages in AYestchester
County have provided themselves with
capital roads by using the refuse chips
and dust from the marble and lime
stone quames of that region. Again,
deposits of bowlders and gravel are to
lie found in almost every county, and
a road built of broken bowlders with
a top-dressing of selected gravel comes
7>retty close to the best standard.
But, whatever the material, all the
roads of both systems should be built
according to well devised and consist
ent plans, so that we shall be spared
the sight, now too often visible, of a
line bit of road a mile or two long run
ning “from nowhei'e to nowhere’’ or
from a slough to a slough.—New York
Tribune.
An Important Matter.
“Good roads’’ is an important mat
ter to be dealt with at the present
session of the Legislature, but like
'.nost important matters it is in danger
of being complicated by too many con
flicting plans. That heretofore pur
sued of inducing counties and local
authorities to do their share, with co
operation from the State, is a good one
to adhere to, and it will be better to
be a little slow in the good work than
to run up debts and mortgage the fu
mre. A bill just introduced proposes
10 issue State bonds not exceeding
500,000.000, subject to approval by a
vote of the people, for the construction
and improvement of highways. That
'vould start anew and prodigal policy,
■’Vhieh it is desirable to avoid. The
value of improved roads is one that ac
mes as fast as they are constructed,
and the people should be induced to
bay for them as they go along, or in
• ar only local and short time debts, at
most, for sections that must be com
pleted to be of use. The State help
• hould be rendered liberally, but judi
• iously and without imposing heavy
obligations to be met in the future.
The work will have to be gradual, and
Trill take a long time at best, but it
will grow in appreciation as it ad
vances.—New York Mail and Express.
Good Roads.
It may be well to add tat the good
roads movement existev. long before
there was a bicycle or League of
American Wheelmen, but the farmers
if America owe much to the riders of
-be narrow track machine for having
•-liven the movement an added impe
us.—Denver Republican. .

THE DUTY OF MOTHERS.
AVhat suffering frequently results
from a mother’s ignorance; or more
frequently from a mother’s neglect tc
properly instruct her daughter !
Tradition says “woman must suf
fer, and young women are so taught.
There is a little truth and a great deal |
of exaggeration in this. If a young j
woman suffers severely she needs
treatment, and her mother should see
that she gets it.
Many mothers hesitate to take their
daughters to a physician for examina
tion ; but no mother need hesitate to
write freely about her daughter or
herself to Mrs. Pinkliam and secure
the most efficient advice without
charge. Mrs. Pinkham’s address is
Lynn, Mass.
Mrs. August Pfalzgraf, of South
Byron, Wis., mother of the young lady
whose portrait we here publish, wrote
Mrs. Pinkliam in January, 1899, saying
her daughter had suffered for two
years with irregular menstruation
had headache all the time, and pain in
her side, feet swell, and was generally
miserable. Mrs. Pinkham promptly
replied with advice, and under date of
March, 1899, the mother writes again
that Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vegetable
Compound cured her daughter of all
pains and irregularity.
Nothing in the world equals Mrs.
Pinkham’s great medicine for regu
lating woman's peculiar monthly
troubles.
TOO BUSY.
The man who thinks he knows it all
perhaps is wondrous wi3e,
But never benefits mankind, no matter
how he tries.
He leaves his fellow men to stray, an
unenlightened elf.
His time’s all taken up with admira
tion of himself.

The peculiarities of flowers in color, 1
form or smell have given birtu to poet- ,
fancies about them which are more j
remarkable for monotony of invention
than for beauty of feeling. Asa gen- |
eral rule, flowers spring from tears if
they are white, from blushes or from
blood if they are red. Lilies of the
va'leyarein France the Virgin’3 tears;
anemones in Bion’s idyl are the tears
of Venus for Adonis; and the belen
iuro. which, according to Pliuv, was
supposed to have sprung from the
tears of Helen, was probably a white
flower, If we may believe Catullus
the rose is red from blushing for the
wound it inflicted on the foot of Venus
as she hastened to help Adorns. But
if Stephen Herrick is right, who of all
our old poets deals more fancifully
with flowers, roses were originally
white, till, after being worsted in a
dispute as to whether their whiteness
excelled that of Sappho’s breast, they
blushed and ‘‘first became red.”
This is very like Ovid’s account of the
mulberry fruit having been originally
white, till it blushed forever after wit
nessing the tragedy enacted beneath
it of the sad suicides of l’yramus and
Thisbe. In German folk-lore the
heath owes its color to the blood of
the slain heathen, apparently in recol
lection of Charlemagne's method of
converting the Saxons, the two words
being connected in the same way as
are pagusand paganus;for, as in Latin
the inhabitants of the country villages
far from the Christian culture of the
towns came to be called pagans, so in
German the inhabitants of the uncul
tivated fields where the heath (or
heide) grew came to be known as
heathen (or heide). —Leslie’s Weekly.
