LONDON PAVEMENTS.

Beneath every square foot of wood paving
10 London there is a layer of concrete foun.
1ation five or six feet thick. 1t is yery
much like the macadamized road, only that
Il is very deep and very solid. 1t is made OF
fragments of stone rolled down in cemen,
and clay, and it makes magnificent bed
rock for the blocks of woods to rest upon.
The way they roll their macadam streets
mere is instructive. Over the various LAYERS
of broken stone and cement they run steam
roller which is quite as heavy as the biggest
railway engine in America. This goes back

SPiRITuAi.ISM.

The rather remarkable statement is made
By the Metropolitan scribe Of the Minnea
polls Tribune that Spiritualism is gaining
ground in New York in qniet way. Hun.
ireds of people spend Sunday evenings at
seanoes or in halls listening to the addresses
OF inspi'ational female preachers. A very
large proportion OF these people are firm
believers in the manifestations and com.
mnnicat'ons of spirits. aud many of them
oelono to the most refined and best educa.
ted. That a man Of intelligence shonil be-
some converted is easily exnlained His in.
qnirino DISPOSITION loads him to make an
investigation of the phenomena of which he
hears So much. He becomes interested, al
thouoh at first he is incre1ulous, and even
cynical. Then he is Mt loss to explain
what he SECS. At last he can only account
for the phenomena which he has witnessed
under varying circumstances by attributing
them to supernatural agencies. II = only a
short step to Sniritualism. and he usually
takes il and becomes nm enthusiastic Shirt
ualist, wandering how he was so ineredunns
before, and why other people do not believe.

RINGoEs. NJ, Jan. %, 1888.
The sleigbing has been excellent here

of our citizens have made proper use of il.
According TO pos' ponement the meeting
of the Ringoes Total Abstinence Society,
will be held Friday evening of this week,

If a man does not make better time get

did falling, it is on account Of darkness
or other cause which prevents people
from seeing him.
The first impulse that man receives
when he falls on the ice, is that some one
saw him. This explains the reason of
person slancing quickly in every conceiv-
able direction, when be falls. If man
is ever provoked at another's laugh it is
at this time.
The walks and streets are very slip
perry at present aud To keep from 'sitling
down" too often, person has to be ex-
tremely watchful and careful. Ii our CHI
zeus would hack the ice that cover their
walks or spread something on il, great
many falls could be- prevented.
We learn that Mr.. T. Y. Vau Marter of
this village, now employed at Wilson's
Match Factory, in Trenton, met with quite
an accident in the above named factory
one day last week. While engaged al
work in the upper story Of the factory,
during the evening. he made Il step back

door, landing on pair of steps. He sus-
tanned IA number OF bruises, but fortunate
~ broke no bones. He luckily escaped

DIR. c, w. Larison, prineip1T 81 the
Academy of Science aud Art at Riugces,
believes in practical reaching. He thinks
that more botany can be learned in an
hour in the fields than In a week over
books, and that tho best way to teach
geology, physical geography. aud kindred
studies, is to come IN contact with Nature
herself. So the pupils of his school are
taken out on frequent trips and excur-
sions, and the eye is trained as well as the
memory. A few days ago, in lieu of an ont
door study, which would be unpleasant at
this season of the year, the Doctor took
his pupils on trip to Princeton College,
where several hours were spent in an ex-
animation aud study Of the splendid col.
