The prospect for loggers and lumber
men in the northern part of the state
for the ensuing winters season is not a
bright one. Lumber is low, and as a
consequence wages will be reduced and
a less amount of 'stumpage'' cut. The
wages for the winter will be from 81 to
SIS less than paid heretofore, and the
cut will not be over two-thirds of that
of last winter, and perhaps not over
one half.

A Good Pavement.

New York has tried every variety of
pavement on Fifth Avenue-wood, as
phalt. square block. cobblc-stone, and
patents innumerablc-and none of them
have given complete satisfaction, each
being open to one or more objections,
as too noisy, too costly. or possessing
some other defect. says the New Or
leans Times Democrat. The same may
be said of any other large city. Lon
don worried over this matter for years.
and Paris spent millions of francs pay
ing its streets and then tearing up
these payements. because they did not
suit. There is no point in which the
world is more interested than this, and
yet there is nothing more unsatisfactory
than its efforts to secure a pavement
cheap. noiseless. lasting. yet able to
sustain constant traffic and heavy
loads.
London and Paris say that they have
at last solved this problem. After ex-
perimenting with wooden pavements
for years, the English capital gave
them up as a failure. About ten years
ago, however. it tried new system of
wooden payements-or, rather. COM
bination of wood and stone-which did
very well. The stone foundation was
made of concrete. cement, gravel. and
sand, and stretched in an arch from
curb to curb, readily supporting the
traffic that rolled over it. Wooden
blocks were laid upon this as cushion
for the horses feet and the ears of the
public, and held together by asphalt.
The new pavement gradually won its
way to popular favor in London, and it
is now essentially the pavement Of that
city. In the last ten years fifty-three
miles of it have been laid. all of which
is in good condition, and gives COM
plete satisfaction. Indeed, London is
so enthusiastic over it that all of its
streets are 10 bo thus paved.
Three years ago The city of Paris sent
engineers to London TO inspect its
wooden pavements. 1t had found its
own m:tcadam and stone drives too
noisy. and showing an awkward ten
dency TO fiji up the sewers with their
debris and sand There was some
doubt about the new pavement at first,
and the contract made was very Sc
we're one. The company laying it was
/ w lTCNisN notHiii9 lVi tWO yctIS, stuu
not even then to be paid unless the
street was found in good condition; if
so found it WAS to receive the amount
due in eighteen annual installments,
One Of the business streets in the city,
the Boulevard Montmarre, was selected
for the experiment. A test after the
pavement had been in use two years
showed it in MS good condition as when
/ first laid. Paris is us enthusiastic over
the new pavement as London. and is
tearing up some Of her streets to try it.
She has il down already on the Champs
Elysecs, the Avenue dc POpera. the
Rue dc Rivoli. and has just contracted
for twen;y-lhrec miles OF it on the lead
ing boulevards.
The enthusiasm has spread to this
country and both New York and Chi
cago are preparing to test the value of
the new pavement. Should it really
assure all that is claimed for it, it is a
discovery of great importance, for the
world has much to complain of about
even its best varieties of pavement,

broken glass, etc. The machine is de-
scribed as being u vast rag and BONE
picker of m;,ny Italian power, working
by steam. Its daily capacity is $50
loads of 1.S00 pounds each. The os-
cillator moves to and fro $50 times a
minute, while two or three Italians
stand alongside and pick all rags and
scraps of paper out of the mass. What
is then left, after the dust has fallen
below. is passed into washer. in which
all straw, leather, vegetable refuse and
other light material rises 10 the surface

sold. Out of $50 loads of refuse but
thirty are conveyed away as waste.
The rags bring about $50 per ton, the

The Schubert Onartetfa.

The third entertainment of the Lee
ture Course was given last Wednesday
evening by the Schubert Q,artetten
and Miss Grace Hilz, soprano. The
concert was of far higher order than
any we have had the pleasure of hearing
in Lancaster before, and certainly must
have drawn better house had the people
realized what charming entertainment
was in store for them. The Quartette
is one of the best in Chicago, and no
lover of exquisite harmony and beauti-
full musical Interpretation could have
failed to enjoy their singing. The first
number of the evening, Kerry Dance, =
was perhaps the most delightful pa
thetic little song of strange and haunt
ing sweetness, which the quartette rem
dered with wonderful delicacy and ten
derness. None of the voices of this
quartette are remarkable, but are well
cultivated and blend together in har-
mony so perfect, a phrasing so exact.
and an enunciation so clear and fine, as
to make their music almost perfect.
They were repeatedly encorcd, and re-
sponded gracefully each time, besides
adding another number to the pro-
gramme. Miss Hilz possesses a voice
Of great range and sweetness, and sings
with charming simplicity and ease.
During the first part of the evening it
was very evident to the audience that
her voice was not at its best, but she
recovered herself before the Tyrolean
Duet, though it was not until the last
number, .Hie Thee, Shallop," that the
full power and range of her voice was
displayed. Miss Leaton's recitations
were well received, though perhaps not
SO well as they would have been had
her selections been of different char
acter.
Taken as a whole, the entertainment
was delightful and would surely prove a
greater attraction should the Schubert
Quartette come this way again.
