I know it is quite the thing for a lot of ignorant oily asses to laugh at the farm- ers working the roads under the. shade trees and talkie¢ politics, but the farm - ere have made the roads we have by this method, and I am confident that south- ern Minnesota has as good roads as any other state of a like age. Even paying the whole tax in money and contracting jobs has proved a failure, tor townships that adopted this method had gone back to the old system of road overseers and road districts before this law passed. One of the biggest follies o' this new road law may be seen in the fact that, though the legislature abolished the office of road overseer, they did not revise any of the old road laws, many of which come to conflict with the present law. I will mention a few cases In which the•new conflicts with the old. The old law says that the board of supervisors shall have charge of alt the affairs of the town not committed to other officers by law. These powers give them the right to build bridges, let road contracts, make ditches to drain roads, and above alt other things the purse strings are committed to their charge, for no bills can be paid by the treasurer without the 0. K. of the board of supervisors. Now, this new law gives to the county superintendent power over all roads and bridges in -the county, and all township road inspectors are to work under him. Moreover, the law orders im- possible things of the superintendent, for in each township there are seventy-two miles of roads, and in this county abotft eighteeo hundred, besides hundreds of miles of ditches. To xpeet one man to look atter all these matters is utterly .absurd, for with- out assistants one man could not look after one townebt(i unless he gave his whole time to it, and then be would have to call out road workers stall times to the open working season, and thelaw requires three-fourths of the road work to be done before the first of August of each year. Now. as our dirt roads are not in- a flt state to be worked betide the flrstof June, and as baying oommenoes right after the Fount of July, and harvest follows hay- ing, would not a road inspector meet with a nice reception warning out farmers to work on the roads at. those 1tlmesl . Coo - sequently the bulk of our road work is done in June, and e:peelence proves that it Deeds from six to twelve overseers to look after this work to get It done in that time. The overseer's office may be abol- ished, but his duties remain. Besides. the new officer Is an added expense to every township, coating from 840 to near- ly$100, and, as several supervisors have told me without a corresponding benelt'. It was with much reluctance the super- visors of the different townships appoint- ed these road Inspectors. as the towns bad held their regular elections and elected these officers. some malotaintng that the legislature had no right to make the law effective at once, any more than they would to legislate the county. board or other county offloers out of ealstence, for it was legislating back sad-iilolatiog contracts made with the state:: for all these overseen had taken their oMete and commenced their duties by filling out their poll tax lista for the town clerks according to a law not repealed.

The origin of the Maxim pm was somewhat carious. Mr. Maxim (Mt Hiram) after the clots of the gnat civil war is America was vtalang ass of the southern battlefields. lea picked up a Springfield rifle and began firing at a target. He soon discovered, to hid amazement, that his shoulder was all black and blue with the recoil. Thh set him thinking, and ho soon con telved the idea of utilizing this ford in a gun which would fire automatic ally. He went to London full of his idea, but no one would listen to him. In Birmingham the chief man in a fee tory refused to make a bolt gun. in despair Mr. Maxim packed up his trunks and went to Paris. In twa weeks the wort was done. Thla gni Mr. Maxim exhibited in London to 1885. He spoke of it then as the gun of the future. It L now the gun of tbs present. It is a wonderful gun and s deadly one. By adjusting the indica- tor it will lire ballets at any rate from one per minute to 000. This terrible weapon le started by the firing of the first shot Atter that it works itself and will keep going as long as cartridges can be fed into the machine. When one belt os 838 is ex hausted, all that is necessary is t.t hook on another. When the British government gav4 an order for the gen they stipulated that it should not weigh more than s hundred pounds and should be capable of firing a thousand rounds in tout minutes. Mr. Maxim produced a gut which weighed thirty-five pounds and fired 2,000 rounds in three minutes.— St. Louis Post -Dispatch. An Aggravating soy. Lord Curzon exhibited brilliant qual- ities both at Eton and Oxford. At the same time be was by no means a quiet, studious boy when he attended the famous public school. One of the mathematical masters there told bow Curzon gave him more trouble than any boy he ever taught "He was in- cessantly playing the tool and 'rag- ging' and apparently paid no attention to what I was teaching. But what made him more especially aggravating was that, whenever I came down on him suddenly and asked him to go through some dtmcult problem that I had been explaining, be never failed to give me a perfectly lucid and sat- isfactory proof.

Patrick" dates only from 1788, says a London writer, when it was founded by Georg, III., and is not to be com- pared in age with "the most ancient and most noble Order of the Thistle," which, dating from a remote antiquity, was revived by James II. In 11:7. The curious thing about the bands, or rib- bons, of. these two orders le that 8t. Patrick's is blue of the hue that may be seen in the "hackles," or plumes, is the bearskins of the Irish guards, though it suggests the blue bells of Scotland, while the sash of the thistle is a dark green, suggestive of Erin's verdant Tele.
