COmDOSitiOsa Roof.

These roofs coming into quite general use
in the Queen city. In speaking Of them the ed :
itor of Cist's Advertiser, makes The following
remarks on the manner Of preparing them and
their advantages.
1.-The composition is a preparation Of tar aud
sand upon paper. which is fastened to the sheet
ing usually prepared as basis for shingles
Thick and strong paper is first secured to the
board, and two Or three coats of prepared tar is
then spread on the surface. Sand or fine gravel
forms the final coat or covering.
t'Such roof does not leak even when Just
made. and a few months serves to render il per-
fect!v dry. and ind-structible by fire.
''The advantages Of this roof are,
81. Its durability. To this period can be
assigned save that il will last as long the house
il covers.
80. The beauty it confers upon a roof. The
least possible declvity serves for such roof
the water cannot penetrate il in the slightest de-
gree. This IS a feature which every can
perceive and must appreciate.
"3. Its efficacy. Such a roof becomes sub
stantial that rain cannot in the slightest degree
penetrate It.
- Its inde.tructihiIity by fire. which has often
been tested, and always with success.
IS. Not least in the advantages, is the perfect
feet hold in the surface well in tho slope.
These roofs can be walked over in absolute safe-
ty except when covered with sle-t.
"Mann & Co, whose office is in the same bull
ding with mine, put these roofs in work
man-like manner, which has given every salts
faction to their employers l will only add that
their composition roofs superceding all
other kinds upon the business bu dngs Of Gin
cinnati."

preparation Of Wool intended for sale
Although an improvement in this particu-
lar is manifest from year to year, there Is
yet great complaint on the part Of manu-
facturers, Of the careless manner in which
much Of it is put up. Unless properly
cleansed and assorted, it is difficult to sat
isfactorily ascertain its value, and the sell
Ter is usually the sufferer. in order TO in
sure the highest price, particular regard
should be paid to the following directions
By doing 50. the grower will be amply re-
paid for his trouble:
When the term for shearing arrives. the
Sheep should be well washed in a clear
stream of running water, and then be al
lowed to run in clean pasture three or
four days; the wool being then dry, clip
off all the '.burs'' and ''tag locks" After
shearing. spread the fleece shorn side
down, then fold each side equally SO as
not to expose the surface which grows

There is some sort Of relief for directors
in that; and If it affords them any comfort
they may quit whimpering.
But Miss Blackwell must not be ma lie
responsible for my feelings about and
manner Of treating this matter. Her own
are in many respects very different. She
was generously invited by the medical
class Of Geneva to come among them
In one Of the resolutions which they for
warded to her. they pledged themselves
to do everything in their power to make
her attendance agreeable to her. For
two winters she tried them, and acknowl-
edges that. in letter and spirit, they kept
their promise nobly. 1t was next 10 inn
possible that they should do otherwise.
but they did do all that was possible to
relieve her from the disagreeabes Of the
course; and ono Of the Professors has de-
clared that the College could better afford
to pay such a woman as Miss B. for at
tending, than do without the wholesome
room!
Thus far the whole afai. justlies itself
and the future can also take care Of itself
The conclusion Of the whole matter.

a question Of. but a fact Miss Il. is a
worker. Just so far as people are work
ers. they are omnipo'ent. every one Of
them; they need very little help. and can
not be much hindered by anybody. She
is one Of those who cannot be hedged up,
or turned aside, or defeated. She will
not stop to complain or wrangle about
prophecies with people that never do any
thing. either right or wrong. and she WON'T
fret. She is woman. not Of words, but
Of deeds; and those who only want to
talk about it, may as well give it up
Withal. her purpose is higher pitched, her
aim is broader, her idea deeper, than APP
