Recommendations of the Congresi.
-p EWIS M. HAUPT of the
r* Isthmian Canal Commission;
V Captain 11. M. Chittenden, of
-* the United States Engineers
at the Yellowstone National Tark,
and William Pierson Judson, Deputy
State Engineer and Surveyor, pre
sented some interesting stereoptlcon
pictures before the International
Good Roads Congress at Buffalo. Mr.
Haupt showed some examples of
neglected highways in various parts
of the United States, and in contrast
some of the modern paths of business
and pleasure travel here and abroad,
and poiuted out where the inability
to get produce to market at a critical
time bad resulted iu the loss of much
more money to farmers that would
have been required to keep tlie road
in decent condition for travel.
Captain Chittenden’s illustrations
were of road construction and main
tenance in the vast National Park.
One remarkable contrast between
cost in different parts of the country
was brought out by Captain Chitten
den, who stated that the sprinkling
of the Yellowstone Park roads in dry
weather costs about $125 a mile, while
at the session of Wednesday Professor
Holmes, State Geologist of North
Carolina, cited instances where dur
able roads had been built from clay
and sand in South Carolina for $125
a mile and did not require watering.
Mr. Judson showed how the Higbie-
Armstrong law was working out the
salvation of country highways in New
York State.
Senator 11. S. Earle, of Detroit,
President of the League of American
Wheelmen, made a vigorous address,
in which he spoke of the work accom
plished by wheelmen for road improve
ment, and advocated placing a tax on
every seat in every wheeled vehicle
used on a road in the United States
to form a fund for the repairing and
rebuilding of roads.
The Committee on Resolutions made
a long report, some of the principal
recommendations being:
That the work of the Government
Ofßce of Public Road Inquiries In the
Department of Agriculture should be
enlarged into a bureau, and that an
appropriation of $150,000 should be
made by Congress for this purpose.
That it is necessary for the purpose
of carrying on the work of good roads
construction to complete and protect
a chain of organization in each State,
Territory and county for thorough,
concerted action, and that the Vice-
President of each State for the Na
tional Good Roads Association be au
thorized to organize a State Good
Roads Association in his respective
State or Territory.
That we recommend the plan of
State supervision and co-operation to
the several States.
That this congress indorses the use
of the wide tire on all public roads
;nd the payment of the usual road
taxes in cash instead of in labor.
A committee of five was appointed
to see that the matter of a
appropriation is placed before
Representative and Senator in Con*
gress.
A Fin© Argument.
One of the best arguments yet of
fered for road improvement is con
tained in a report of the Industrial
Commission on the distribution of
farm products. The important fact is
there brought out that the cost of
hauling farm products to markets
over country roads is in excess of the
cost of operating all the railroads in
the United States. It has been shown
by careful inquiry that the average
haul of the American farmer in get
ting his produce to market or to the
nearest shipping station is twelve
miles. The average cost per ton for
hauling over the ordinary country,
roads is twenty-five cents per mile,
or $2 per ton for a twelve-mile haul.
Careful estimates place the total num
ber of tons hauled at 300,000,000 per
annum, and this, at the average
twelve-mile haul, would make ■ the
total cost $900,000,000, as compared
with the $818,000,000 expense of rail
road management. These figures
ought to appeal to farmers. On them
the burden falls largely, as few of
them probably add the expense of
hauling to the cost of the product.
Yet, with few exceptions, this class
of producers has stood In the way of
road improvement.
An Example to Imitate.
They have a very commendable way
of displaying patriotism in China. The
wealthy Chinaman who would seek
popularity at the hands of his country
does not endow a hospital or get some
one to raise a statue in his honor—no,
he just goes out, finds a bad bit of
road and has it carefully made up
Into first-class form. Mrs. Bishop, the
well-known traveler, says she passed
some remarkable “highways of com
merce,” cut through the rocks in moun
tain passes, scaffolded over rivers and
carried through galleries in which
were tablets in honor of the givers of
the road. Cycling is not yet a popular
institution in China, but at some fu
ture date when the Flowery Kingdom
has contracted the “infection” of west
ern countries the names of these pio
neers of the good roads movement will
be honored, not as the benefactors of
their particular locality, but of tho
whole country.
An Automobile Highway.
“Some enterprising man has sugges
ted to Mr. Carnegie that instead of
building any more libraries he con
struct a model road suitable for auto
mobiles clear across the United States.
That would surely be a high way of
spending his surplus millions.”—San
Francisco Call.
Value of Object Lessons.
The United States has one service
able road where France has n hun
dred. A person who lias bounced over
our country thoroughfares in the mud
of an early spring is willing to state
the case more forcibly.
MODES FOR LITTLE FOLKS.
A Return of Some Style* of n Quartet
Century Ago.
One hardly thinks of children’s
fashions as having any well defined
relation to those of their elders, yet
it is noticeable that the long waist
effects have returned, much as they
appear in pictures of little ones that
were taken twenty-five years ago.
This is illustrated by the extremely
popular Russian blouse and smock
suits worn by boys from two to eight
years of age, and the wee frocks that
are nothing but a long waist with a
ruffle worn by little girls from two
to six years old. Still another revival
is the neat little “ankle tie” slipper
that now is de rigueur for the wee
folk.
Some exquisite little frocks—for, be
it observed, the old fashioned Eng
lish word is again in favor among
fashionable folk—are to be found in
the high class shops, daintily made
entirely by hand. A fine lawn, low
neck and short sleeves, has a waist
reaching far below the waist line. It
is made wholly of insertion at inter
vals of an inch, with groups of tiny
tucks between. The skirt is an em
broidered ruffle reaching almost to the
knee. At the termination of the waist
straps of insertion are placed, two in
front and two behind, through which
a ribbon sash is drawn and tied in
a bow at the back.
Another fascinating instance is of
cobwebby nainsook, with waist gath
ered above and below in true “bebe”
fashion, and made quite as long as
that previously described. A ruffle
of the finest embroidery is around the
low neck and forms the short sleeves.
The absurd little skirt of tucked nain
sook gathered into the inch wide belt
of Insertion is edged with the em
broidery, and its total length is about
six inches.
All of the small frocks, however,
are not made low and sleeveless, al
though all have the extreme of long
waists, if they boast, In any degree, of
fashion. Some have yokes, some are
gathered high around the baby throat
and some have fancy collars added.
For all infants two years old or less
the yoke with skirt attached is still
the accepted mode, but boy babies are
sometimes put into, Russian blouses
even before they reach that advanced
age. Sailor styles and kilts are used
somewhat, but only to an extremely
limited extent. A pretty Russian
smock, made of navy serge, has full
gathered front and standing collar,
and a strap at each side for the belt,
which is trimmed with black silk
soutache braid. The back has French
pleats and the rather full sleeves are
gathered into a straight cuff. This
style is suitable for two, three or four
years.
A cossack suit for boys of the
same ages is made of dark red serge,
has long waist and a short pleated
skirt, a standing collar, three pleats
In the back and is worn with a belt.
It fastens diagonally on the right
side and is trimmed with black silk
braid.
A Russian blouse suit that is natty
for little fellows up to four years is
made with bloomer trousers. The
material used is dark blue cloth, and
the trimming is of white soutache
and small pearl buttons.
More elaborate is one of dark red
velvet, with shield and revers trimmed
with strips of white corded velvet. A
kid belt Is worn with it.
For house wear these little suits
are made of striped Galatea or heavy
pique. The Russian blouse suit is
worn up to eight years of age, when
Norfolk and other jackets and trous
ers suits assert their fascination for
the small boy.
Overcoats are extremely jaunty In
varied styles. The Russian, the Uni
ted States Service, the military cape
overcoat, the automobile and the reef
er are equally In favor. For girls,
the coats are preferable long, although
there are charming little jackets,
double breasted and fly front, shown
by fashionable houses. Black satin
and navy blue velvet are used for
dressy long coats.—New York Tri

JSemCS NEWEST J
A Parisian Yeweler has Introduced
a cuff buttonrin the old fashioned
form with a watch forming the
top.
Pretty afternoon and evening gowns
are made of the embroidered Swiss
batiste, organdy, etc., over white or
other colors.
Belts of brocade in tiny tints, stud
ded with tiny steel squares and fast
ened with a gilt harness buckle are
new and effective.
In the French models one finds here
a skirt which fits like a glove across
the back, and the next is shirred and
falls full to the ground.
The open seams filled in with a
lace stitch, the seams of both waist
and skirt finished in this way, are to
be seen on many handsome frocks.
Ermine is put to many uses this
year. There is nothing more charm
ing when properly used, and nothing
more aggressive and garish when im
properly worn. Ermine is a fv
which is conspicuous, and, to use
slang phrase, “a little of it goes

Odd Thing* to Lose.
When people gather greatly together
there are sure to be things lost, says the
Paris Messenger. The Betheny review,
on the occasion of the visit of the Czar,
was no exception to the rule. No sooner
was the review ended than a huge quan
tity of articles of all kinds was picked up
by the authorities and placed in the
keeping of the officers at Reims. The
collection is of the oddest. Something
of everything is included; many things,
evidently, will never be claimed; old um
brellas, empty bags and empty purses;
there was also a corset Then there
were again two handsome stem-winding
watches.
There is another side to the question.
People have sent in a description of
things lost. One is of a splendid sword
scabbard, belonging to an Algerian Caid,
which was in chiseled silver. What
complicates things is that the scabbard
was found and claimed. The chagrin of
the dusky African may be imagined. In
any case he has offered a handsome re
ward to him who returns his scabbard.
FIRST FEARS ALLAYED.
Suddenly a pale, agitated woman ap
peared before the genial landlord.
“Sir,” she exclaimed, “there are
strange noises in my room. I am
afraid a burglar lies hidden in the
closet.”
“Fie upon you, madam!” quoth the
landlord, merrily.
“’Tis no burglar. ’Tis merely the
spirit of a drummer who cut his throat
in your room thirty years ago.”
Whereupon the woman, abashed at
giving way to idle fears, thanked the
landlord, and returned calmly to her
bed. —Indianapolis Sun.
