From the South J~erseynSda we take
the following article which is of great
interest te the township committeemen:
liz Salem county road making is not
as thoroughly understood as it should,
be. Our county roads are either too
sharply ridged, making travel danger
Gus, or else they are lower in the middle
than el the SIDES of the road. in many
townships sufficient money is %appropria-
ted every year to keep the highways in
proper order, but everybody knows that
in many cases the money is more than
wasted, and the roads actually injured,
by incompetent oyerseers. In Vine
land, where they have good roads the
whole year round, they have II over
seer who is paid by the year to lock
after the miles OF road in that borough.
The amount of money spent upon the
Vireland roads is small, but they are
kept in good condition because the
oyerseer understands the art of road
making.

A KnOtty Problem.

This story was told to me years ago,
and if it has ever been in print have
not seen it;
A jolly party was gathered one winters
evening around the blazing fire in the
barroom of Green's old tavern in Maiden
The great iron loggerheads were buried
in the Goals, and the aroma of flip foated
gratefully upon the air. They agreed,
tinally-there were dozen of them-to
put knotty questions and problems, and
the first one who should ask a question
which he could not himself answer,
should pay the flip for all hands. At it
they went with many a laugh and Jest ;
but ere long few knotty problems
calling for serious thought sobered them.
Finally, Sam Emmerton, the village
blacksmith, asked:
"Why is it that the common striped
squirrel, though he may burrow a dozen
feet under ground for winter quarters,
never brings any dirt to the mouth of
his hole2"
They considered deeply, and gave it
up.
"Why is it, sam2"
Because" answered Sam, with the
utmost gravity, 1.-THE squirrel, being
naturally timid and suspicious, always
commences to dig his hole at the bottom.
That is one answer. can give you an.

want it"
eyes" cried Jo Nichols, in hot haste,
"but I'd just like to ask you, Sam En-,
merton, how the squirrel gets down to
the bottom of his hole to commence dig
gingg"
All, Jo, that is a question of you
own asking. You must answer il. 4"
The only solution Jo could offer was
to pay for the twelve mugs of hot flip

TinWAre,

Many people still think tinware is pure
tin, and establishment is often depicted
on the countenances of the unsophistica-
ted when told that only from two to six
parts in hundred of piece of tin-plate
is pure tin, the rest being sheet-iron or
steel, and the tin only a thin coating
The process of coating templates with
tin was first invented in Bohemia, or
Silesia, in the fore part of the seventeenth
century; but, like everything else in those
times the process was very crude. The
iron plates at that time were produced
by hammering, and of course varied
much in their thickness, and seldom ex-
ceeded six or eight inches in width and
length; these plates were heated, dipped
in water, mixed with wood-ash, then
polished by scrubbing them by hand
with sand, covered with a greasy sub
stance and dipped into molten tin. On
account of the uneven surface of the
iron plates, heavy coating of tin-from
fifteen to twenty pounds per hundred
pounds of iron-was necessary to pro-
duce a bright appearance. The plates
that were made in those times were very
costly, and were mostly worked into
SullaoscS lOT WHTTlOTS, ornaments 1Or
church steeples, and occasionally into
vessels for family use; but the latter
were so expensive that piece would be
kept as valuable inheritance by several
generations.
These plates were used in England
largely, but were imported, because all
experiments to produce them cheap
enough at home remained unsuccessful
until about 1740 or 1850; from that time
on the tin-plating industry began to pros
per in England. The process of reduc-
ing iron into thin sheets of more uniform
thickness was soon after invented, and
gradually, England got control of all
the markets of the world in this commod-
ity, and since the adoption of the COM
modify for such general use in the United
States, the consumption here has been
enormous. This country now consumes
about two-thirds of England's produc-
ton. For the fiscal year ending June
3Oth, 1882, the number of pounds OF
timed plates imported was III, 863, 900,
representing in value SIG, 634, 900.

Diseases may be divided into two
great classes-the parasitic and the de.
generative. The latter are more preva-
lent in early, and the latter in later stages
of life. OF cancer, which is one of the
diseases of old age, it is uncertain whether
1t belongs to the parasitic or the degen.
erative type. AS it is the duty of the
physician to help man through as many
of these stages. and with as little pain as
possible, it becomes important to study
how to protect him from accidental dis.
eases, and how to husband his forces so
that he may travel far over the way be.
fore his strength shall fail. The first es-
sential of life is his food, and beyond
doubt the majority are underfed, and a
large proportion improperly fed. The
mortality among the poor and the hard
worked, at all stages of life, is amazingly
larger than among the middle and higher
classes. The human constitution pos
sesses a great amount of elasticity, and
will tolerate departure from correct diet
for length of time, but in the end the
penalty is vigorously exacted by nature.
Lessened vitality inevitably follows i'm.
poverished blood and ill-nursed tissue.
Undoubtedly, men are better fed than
formerly, and fewer die of starvation.
But the increased density of the popula-
ton by the flocking of people to the
towns has intensified old dangers. I'm
less sanitary improvements keep pace
with the increase of population, the NOR
tality increases. One-seventh of the popu-
lation of Great Britain live in London; a
large portion of the rest live in large
towns. Doctor Farr says: What is espe-
cially remarkable in London is the high
mortality of all ages after twenty-five
1t is due to pulmonary disease. The
same holds good of all large towns.
Improved health conditions and in
creased population are fighting a great
battle, and, on the whole, if not at
every part of the field, health is win

OLD ANDREW AND ST.LUKE.

Old Andrew Lickney lived in a little
log house that seemed to cling to the
mountain side. 1t was typical of its
owner, for old Andrew held on to the
rugged mountain side of life. He was a
strange man. Years ago, when the won
derful enterprise of the Methodist church
sent its circuit riders in advance of civil
ization, old Andrew, or rather at that
time young Andrew, parted the rank
cane with the vigorous hand of the gos-
pei. He was never married. In latter
years, when he had grown too old and
feeble to longer engage in active work,
his only household companion was large
shaggy dog, whose somewhat astounding
cognomen, st. Luke, caused much com
ment, and, on one occasion, it is said,
conference requested the old man to
change the animals name, claiming that
lt'was lrreverent to bestow on a dog so
sanity title This request was not
granted, and it was limited that it had
something to do with old Andrews with
drawal from active warfare with the
world, the flesh and the devil. st. Luke
very much resembled his master. The
odd fancy is sometimes indulged even by
practical people that men and animals
can associate so long together that they
finally partake of each others physical.
not to say mental peculiarities. Old An
drew had but one good eye; st. Luke
only had one. Old Andrews chin shook
st. Luke's under jaw was unsteady. Old
Andrew limped; so did St. Luke.
Several nights ago, while old Andrew
sat by his fire, his nodding and the
snoring of st. Luke were disturbed by
a knock at the door.
"Come imp
