1 | y § 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 girl with high ideals seldom marries an aeronaut. 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.

HE KNEW BETTER. “Oh, John,” she cried, “baby’s cut a tooth.” “Aw, go ’way!” broke in little Willie, who was playing on the floor. “You can’t cut a tooth! You may break it, but you can’t cut it.” —Chicago Post.

WOOLSO SPICE CO., TOLEDO, OHIO. THE WEEKLY NEWS, CARTER9VILLE, GA. Nama* of Power*. 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.
