voluntary, bat compulsory. His orders
ere still retained, wbioh is not tbe case
if au Ordoiued priest deliberately qniti
tbe cbaroh of bis own accord.
Mr. Loigb, accordiug to biaowu state
ment, was driven out of tbo church by
the straggle to make a decant appear
anoo and keep np a position in tbe
parish, on an absardly iusaffioient sti
pcud. ;
"Aboat 14 years oro," said Mr.
Lelgb, "I was ordained to the curacy of
Horneld, Bristol, whore I was assistant
chaplain to tbo barracks, and remained
there two years. Etsforo I definitely de
oided on a clerical career, however,
bad successively tried tbe callings of
auctioneer's clerk, tea merchant and
schoolmaster. I was also private tntor
for a short time before finally entering
the Gloucester Theological college to
read for orders. Being ordained, I threw
my whole heart into my work and en
deavored to forget tbe old love for tbe
ctago which bail bean with me since
childhood."
"Did yoa ever, previous to taking or
ders, endeavor to got upon ihe stage?"
"Once only.'! was the reply, "and then
I was actually offered an engagement,
and, marvelous to relate, my heart fall
ed me, and I refused it. I was 1? at tbe
time, and lbad the .ooufidenoe to apply
to Henry Irving (ad bo was tbeny for an
engagement. He sent me to Mr. Block
more, tbe Agent, who procured mo the
offer of a part, in Clarence Holt a 'Now
Babylon company. However, as I say,
my coorago failed me, and I let tbe
chance go by.
"After staying at Horfleld for two
years I became successively senior ou
rate of Hammersmith parish cborob,
curate in charge at 'Barley, Herts; sen
ior curate of Cboshant, Herts, tbe vicar
being chaplain to Lord Salisbury ; sen
ior curate of Hitchin, Herts; senior cu
rate of Brondeebory,. N. W., and final
ly ktcain tenens at Hatfield, which po
sition I held for niuo months. I have
married, baptizod and buried hundreds
of people and preached -to many thou
sands, it was not from choice, but from
sheer necessity, that 1 gave up my cler
ical work. . I was saddouly and unex
pected ly deprived of tbe private income
I bod hitherto enjoyed, being at tbe
time in receipt of a net salary of 140
year.
This ia tbo overage salary of ca
rats la tbo charcb of England, and thus
gives a man 3 13s. lOd. a week to
maintain as a goutleman ouu of tbe
most prominent and important positions
in a parish. I bad a wife and foar chil
dren, and I say that oat of this nto a
man cannot keep birr. self and family. I
pay rent and taxes, to say nothing of
tbe expenses of children's education,
tbe little parochial subscription (bat
are always cropping np and tbe occa
sional doles while visiting tbe poor of
tbe parish. It cannot be done. Tbe lifo

cat six farms cr boowcrics alcog tbe

leased them to tenants.
- fn 1048 Director Kleft, In spite of
the protestor Do Vrles and other In
flucutlal men, ordered tbo innesucre of
40 Indians at Corlears Ilcok, and that
of a still larger number of men, women
and children at Pavonio, In retaliation
for these brotal.morders, for they wcro
nothing elsn, the oatlyiug furms at
Harlem, Ktateu Inland, tbo Bcwery and
ctbor places were-laid waste. When
peace was restored, it was found im
possible to rent tbe' farms, so they were
eventually sold. ;
.Prior to tbo sale of these farms, bow.
ever, a frontier colony of manumitted
negro slaves was established west of
the Bowery. With reference to this
colony Ibo minates of tbo Dnich coun
cil, 1044, recite tbe fact that Manuel
do Groot, tbo giant, and ten cibor nn
groes and their wives wcro rclvased
from slavery on condition that ' eaun
man, daring bis life, pay tbe govern
ment an annual rental of S3 bushel of
grain and a fat bog, their children be
ing still held as slaves. Tbeir planta
tions extended from tbe Bowery to old

It bas required much demonstration to
convince tbs farmers" that good roods
are a profitable investment. The work
ot tbe agricultural experiment stations
In this regard bas been invaluable, says
the Washington Star. Experiments witb
broad and narrow tires conducted un
der tbe eyes of tha farmers have definite
ly shown the folly of maintaining the
present system of small tired wheels as
long as the roads are indifferent or posi
tively bad In quality. ,
There are two points from whlob to
view the relationship between tbe tires
and tbe quality of tbe road. Tbe experi
ments bave shown first that as long as
tbe roods are in poor oondition, subject
to much moisture and thereby liable to
beoomo heavy and muddy at short no
tice, tbe use of the narrow tiro is a pos
itive hindrance. It require more power
to haul a wagonscueqniped, for tbo
tire sinks doep Into the material of tbe
toad, and thus forms for itself a con
stant obstruction that most boovoroomo.
But tbe broad tire has n nse other
and indeed better tban that of minimiz
ing tbe labor and therefore tbo cost ot
hauling. It "cures tbe bad conditions
tbat bave been largely caused by tbe
narrow tiro, serving as a oom pressor
and gradually compacting tbe material
and greatly improving Its condition.
Thus tbe use of the broad tire means a
double gain. It saves in tbe cost of
baoliug by permitting heavier loads to
bo hauled by tbe same agencies and in
less time, aud it-eaves, too, in tbo cost
of roadmakiug and In repairing.
It is believed that ft all road users
could be persuaded to change tbo tires
of their draft vehicles, especially in tbe
districts where bad roads are tbe rulo
rather than the exception, tbo ulti
mate cost of bringing the country thor
ougbfurcs up to a modern standard
would within a very short time be so
low tbat tbe most comprehensive road
improvement laws could be passed with
out difficulty.
In some states muob bas been done
by granting exemptions from road taxes
to tboso rood users wbo novo adopted
the broad tires and likewise to those
wbo have adjusted tboir vehicles to
tbat tbe front and rear wheels will not
"track," thus minimizing the chances
of wearing tbe surface of tbo rood. It
has been found tbat witb broad tires in
nse tbe amount ot surfacing material
needed is comparatively small.

STATE AID FOR ROADS.
A Beeognltlon That This Is the -Solution
of the Good floods Problem.
The strongest impetus wbioh tbo good
roads movement has received in many
years past was tho passage by tbe Now
York legislature of the Higbio-Arm
strong good roads bill, says tbe Chioago
Times-Herald.
. It Is significant, of tbe rapid growth
of publio Bcittimcut in favor of stuto aid
to highway construction tbat tbe oppo
sition to the measure could muster only
80 votes. Under tbi bill, which bos
beoomo a law, the state appropriation
for this year to expend for highway im
provement Will be ISO, 000, wbicb, it la
estimated, will amount to 1 cout per
11,000 af assessed valuation, or U
oents on tbe averago $3,000 farm.
Tbo size of each year s appropriation
is fixed by tbo legislature, and as tbe
good results of tbe law bcoome more
discernible and more genorally recog
nised it i not Improbable tbat publio
sentiment will demand in o few years a
much larger appropriation, Under the
provisions by wbicb a county is author
ized to apply for a portion of tbs good
roads appropriation the law become a
borne rale measure. If tbo appropriation
should be increased to f 1,000,000 in any
year, tbe average tor on ouch $3,600
farm would be only CO oonts, wbicb
seems a trifling expenditure considering
tbs Immeasurable benefits tbat accrue
to agriculturist through good high

cent, ansHerordontlichor professor, or
dentlloher professor, gebeimrat and ox- 1
collonz, his conception of his own im-
portnnce is not likely to decrease, espe
cially in a couutry where groat defer-I
euoe is paid to rank. Ho is likely to ro-
sent anything, ' therefore, tbot sbows I
opporont iudlfferenoe or contempt for
bis social importance. An illustration
of tbis was an oxperionco of an Ameri
can lady of my ocqnuintanoo. She went
to call on a professor in ordor to get bis
signature to ber university book. Either
from thoughtlessness or ignoranos she
made no special toilet fur tbe occa
sion, and, worst of all, appeared with
not only ber gloves, but also a small
package in ber band. Tbe learned man
was not only exceedingly cool, but posi
tively rode in his manner, yet the next
day, on meeting ber under other oir
oumstanoes, be was almost overpower
ingly gracious and polite.
A call upon a professor, whatever
may be tbe occasion, Is a very formal
matter, and an examination is sachp
solemn ooromony tbat the prescribed
rules for dross and conduct are almost
as numerous and strict ss those for a
presentation at tbe court of St. James.
No student would dare 'endanger his
success by not driving around to tbe
professor's house In a carriuge of a cer
tain class, snd arrayed In full evening
dress, with high bat and white gloves.
As an illustration of tbe type of pro
fessor wbo fully appreciates his own
learning and importance take this in
stance: A certain learned man whoso
nomo Is familiar on both continents was
recently lecturing on tbe history of
philosophy. Wben bo caiuo to oonsidur
tbo state of philosophy at the present
day, be onnoladud bis luctaro witb tbo
remark, "At present there are really
only two philosophers of any note iu
Germany tbe other ono live in Ber
lin. " .
Now this same distinguished Scholar
ba received tlie titly of exoelluns,
wbicb Is very rarely Conferred ou a pro
fessor. Ho laffinnocfavl witb nna nf tha
smaller ublvorsltle, and ouoe rooeived 1
tiering invitation to go to Berlin,
bat bl own university snd townspeople
made acb strenuous effort to retain
tbeir celebrity tbst, in bl own mind
at least, tbe question of bis going or
staying bad become ono of national Im
portaaoe. One day some workmen were
repairing tbs street near bl homo, and
bo was naturally much disturbed by tbs
uoisa. nanny turowing open toe win
dow, be called out angrily to tbe work
.men, "If yon don't go away aud stop
that noise, I sball go to Berlin af tor all.
Ths fact tbat tbe German professor i
