ORIGIN OF HIGHWAYS.

As it was the custom of the Romans to build their roads above the level of the surrounding country, these roads' came to be known as highways. Breause their reads were always as straight as possible, any road which gives the shortest dis tance between two important points and is, therefore, a main artery of travel is now known as a highway.

The two words out of French, avenue, and boulevard, have slightly mors de.. finite meanings than those from Latin. An avenue the word is, from the French avenis meaning "to arrive "is merely

means of approach to something else. Boulevard comes through Franch from theị German boll-werk, a bulwark, and re- ferred, originally to, a road following the outlines of city wall. No such road would be laid until the wall had lost its use, so that the word is not old.

ENGLAND'S OWN ROAD,

Passing to the words of northern origin, one feels already in rond, although it menns by derivation only that over I which one rides, a larger imaginasivo value. English-speaking men have in ported their avenues and boulengards, and| have had their ways and streets thrust upon them, but they have made their own roads. Very poorly they must have made them -until

The turupis road was originally a toll road provided with a turstile on which were mounted sharp pikes to prevent the passage of horsemen or pedestrians until they had paid their fees. When the ori- ginal signifentice of the terin was lost, the road was often spoken of simply as [the turnpike," and this word hus been still further shortened in America to "pike." from which has been developed verb, "pike," meaning to move rapidly as along a turnpike,
