have been SO much improved by this operation
upon the successive layers that they now require
rolling only once a year. In repairing a road,
the expensive and troublesome process of picking
up the surface, in order to prepare it for the fresh
layer of metalling, is effected by the steam roller
with great expeuItion and economy, by simply
fixing a number of short steel spikes in the work.
ing faces of the two side rollers these are pre-
pared for the purpose of having countersunk holes
cast all round their circumference, into which
the spikes are readily fixed by nuts screwed on
inside. A layer of metalling from 2 in. to 6 in.
thick having been laid upon a length of the road
SO broken up. the roller is passed two or three
times over every portion of this length, working
its way gradually across from one side of the
road to the other, until the fiat surfaces of all
the stones are brought uppermost. A covering
of sharp clean sand is then spread over the entire
surface and well watered, after which the rolling
is continued until the stones are thoroughly
bedded into their places the surplus sand is
then swept off, and the road is left in a finished
durable state, the whole operation occupying
usually about two hours for a length of about 35
yards of road.-Mechdnics' Magazine.

No Goods at Retail.

One of the most common objects of observation
in those portions of the city occupied by the
wholesale trade, the lower portion OF Lake street
as well as Michigan and Wabash avenues, IN the
CITY of Chicago, is the placard at the door or
window, or prominently placed within the store
Sc No Goods at retail" Some 90 SO lar as 70 ada
these words Do not ask for 1T" we suppose
that MANY persons not in trade think this is very
strange. Why should jobbers refuse 10 retain IL
they have opportunity? Why should they NOT
share in a retailers increased profit? why should
they not take larger stores, remove 10 retain s'ree''
and do other great things In a small way ,
That which is so mysterious to the general
public is we'll understood by the intelligent ira
ders of the country. The legitimate business OF
the jobber Is to supply retailers with stock, at the
smallest margin OF profit over producIi0h. 50 IlaS
the latter can sell at a profit to cover all risks ana
expenses incident to the business, and have a
reasonable surplus. The legimate business OF
the jobber is to build up and protect retailers 10
their trade with the community at large, not only
by the iobber retaining from retailing hlmseii'
but by withholding from the general puoiic In
some degree the prices at which retailers are aole
to supply themselves.
Intelligent readers know very well that III JOB
bers combine wholesale and retail business, the
effort to push the latter branch OF the business
creates and strengthens a constant temptation 10
lower the prices and profits on retail goods, and
that lust SO far as a jobber does this he exerts
himself to damage and destroy every retailer in
the country within reach of his influence. Ordi-
nary retailers cannot compete with Jobbers In
prices, if the latter choose to go into the retail
business against them.
These are some of the reasons for the prevalent
placard-'s No Goods at Retail" A great many
jobbers who do not hang up the placard. cannot
be induced to retail goods, and have SO long ad-
hered to the principle, that they know there is no
danger of their being solicited to do it. A great
many retailers are fully convinced that their true
policy is to deal exclusively with jobbers who do
not retail, and who thus avoid all temptations to
undersell and destroy the regular retail trade

Be Kind to Everything.

Read this, little boys, and you, parents, who
encourage your children to be cruel. 1t is from
the Turf, Field and Farm:
Il man who gives unrestrained license to
his violent passions must inevitably make a mis-
cradle end. He that ill-treats his horses is in
sensibly led to ill-treat his wife and children.
There is much truth in this. If the people would
learn TO point to every man who abuses an animal
of any kind as a brute, harsh and cruel TO
women, might he not be shamed into better
action? One may be possessed of cruel instincts,
but violence OF temper and exhibitions of brutality
are pretty much matters of education. If a man
is early made to understand that his cruel pro-
pensities excite feelings of disgust in the hearts
of those whts Sc friend ship le holds dear, he will
try very hard to control himself. And if he
seriously makes the effort he will discover in the
end that he is both able to speak and act with
gentleness. But educate the child to acts of
cruelty, and you make of that child a bad, I'M
feeling man, a man without charity or a spark of
pity. MIR. Berg points a moral with an anecdote ::
A royal child, afterwards Louis Kill, once
crushed beneath the heel of his boot a little SPAR
row which had taken refuge in his bosom, seeing
which the good King, his father, Henry w., ex-
claimed to his Queen, Wife, said he, L pray
l may outlive that son, else he will be sure to
maltreat his mother And the prediction was
verified, for that mother, Catharine de AIedicis,
died in poverty and exile, inflicted by that same
son. Peter the Cruel, King of Spain Peter the
Cruel, King of Portugal; Peter the Great, as
well as cruel, Emperor of Russia, prepared them
selves for the crimes which soiled their reigns by
the little ~cruelties inflicted on inferior animals.
Fathers and mothers, teach your children to be
kind rather than oppressive to the brute creation,
and you will make nobler men and women of
them. Cruelty to the animal world is a species
of sayageness that should be blotted out of en-
lightened humanity."

Steam Road Rollers,

The ordinary size of these steam road rollers
weighs Is tons, and several of the rollers of this
weight are now at work in this country and
also in India, in the United States, and on the
Continent the total width over the rollers is
6 feet, which gives a COMPRISING load of q tons
per foot width upon the road the load Is distri-
buted nearly uniformly over the whole width,
and the rollers are all 5 feet diameter The
steering refer allows of turning the machine in
little more than its own length. The average
cost of working these rollers in this country, in
Guiding an allowance of Is per cent. fer wear
and tear and interest," is about 21s. per day and
the average work done per day is 1876 square
yards rolled. This gives 81 square yards rolled
for one penny when only wages and fuel are in
Guided ; and the latter result agrees with that
obtained also in the working of the some rollers
n India.
The economy attending the practice of rolling,
even when horse rollers only are employed, is
found from an average of extended experience in
different countries to amount to as much as "a
per cent. saving in cost of metalling alone and
the force of draught required upon freshly laid
unrolled metalling Is as much as five times the
draught for the same load upon a fairly good
road surface. The drawbacks attending horse
rolling are, however, very great the rolling in
t~erferes with the traffic on account of the long
string of horses required to drag the roller, and
the consequent trouble and delay of turning at
the ends of the course and the horses feet dis
turb the metalling in a way that cannot be cor
rected by the succeeding passage of the roller.
To roll a road completely with only a 6-ton or
even a lotion roller, which is the heaviest posi-
bic horse roller, it requires to be gone over a
great number of times and this weight of roller
is much below that of the traffic in large towns,
when calculated by the same measure of tons
weight per foot width of the wagon wheels.
With the steam roller all these objections are
overcome, and the same work is done at less than
half the cost of horse rolling, while in cost of
metalling a still further saving is effected beyond
that realised with horse rollers. In Paris the
steam-rolled roads are found to last twice as long
as those rolled by horses and roads which for
merly had to be rolled by steam power once every
six months, and previously much oftener by horses,

To MEND OLD PAiLs.--pails. are for
ever losing their handles those used in
stables and barns are especially addicted
to this infirmity: Just at the wrong mo-
,ncnt, out comes the handle, though the tub
is good, handle is not easily improyised
by farmer or hostlcr. An old bootleg or
a strip of harness leather can be cut to a
proper size, holes punched through the
upper part bfit, which will hold the bail
firmly, and then tack on tho leather to
each side of the pail. If the bail is lost,
an old piece of rope will do good service
Firkins can be made by this simple contri-
vance into most useful pals. 1t will give
another years wear to many broken pail,
and prove the truth of the old adage, that

CuRlosIrIEs or EARTH.--At the city
of Medina, in Italy, and for miles around
it, wherever the earth is dug, when the
workmen arrive at a distance of sixty
three feet, they come into bed of chalk
which they bore with an augur five feet
deep. They then Withdraw from the pit
before the augur is removed, and upon its
extraction the water bursts through the
aperture with great violence and quickly
fills the newly made well, which continues
full and is affected by neither rains nor
droughts. But what is the most remarka-
BILE in this operation is, the layers of the
earth as we descend At the depth Of
fourteen feet arc found the ruins of an
cient city, paved streets, houses, floors, and
different pieces ofmason work. Under this
is found a soft, oozing earth, made up of
vegetables, and at twcnty-six feet, large
trees entire, such as walnut, stick to the
stem, and the leaves and branches in n
perfect state ef preservation. At the
depth of twenty-cight feet, soft chalk is
found, mixed with vast quantity of shells,
and the bed is eleven feet thick. Under
this vegetables arc found again.
