especially the pants, which the Boston tai
Tors say do not set very well. They insist up

can't be blamed for that denial But to be se-
rious, II not critical, think 1t was great
blunderto dress the Gseat Expoundars statue

Of such fashion, only cut with more taste
perhaps. But what If he did? Statues ara

Waterproof Walks.

A method Of making hard dry walks is
coming into use in some parts OF England
which in certain circumstances must he eX-
cellent. A hard dry bottom being prepared
IL 10 OvatUu WIN about IuU INCHES 81 nv
draulic mortar, made by mixing together
about six measures of clean gravel. three
measures OF sharp sand, and one measures
of good hydraulic lime, usually called water
lime. The best hydraulic lime England t.
called Portland Cement Probably larger
proportion OF our common water lime
would be required. Those who have not
access 10 sea-shOye gravel can usually yet
that which will answer by sitting over any
soil which contains pebbles and gravel
This will be improved by washing il. which
can be readily done by putting a buShel or
SO in a barrel, and fill with water stir il
well and pour oil the water rapidly. The
washing may be repeated two or three
times il necessary. As the mixture sets
quickly, only a few bushels should be Wet
AT a time, and this be applied al once and
sm0Othed down. The surface should be
raised in the middle, and slope evenly and
gently 10 the sides The mortar can Dee
applied and smOOthod with the common
shovel. IL will thus form a hard surface
from which water will nOw OIL. Unless the
walk bed be hard OK thoroughly under
drained, so as 10 be dry to the depth of
twelve or fifteen inches il will heave and
crack by reason of freezing in winter. A
walk like the above VIII not bt. ~-Do1Sire
and If well made will last a century. and
not be troubled with weeds or worms. The
same bedding answers admirably for the
floors Of cellars, greenhouses. poultry
houses, etc.
