BOOKS AND AUTHORS.

The third and fourth volumes of Mr.. Henry
Adams's History of the United States' cover
the period of Jefferson's second administration,
between 1906 and 1909. The literary authorities
have already pronounced judgment on this work
and it is an eminently favorable one. Mr.
Adams's style is simple, clear, direct, and neces-
sarily strong, therefore. The story OF this criti
cal and alarming period in our history is told
with dispassionate fairness, the events that led
up to the second war with England are set forth
with clearness without tiring the reader with I'M
important detail, and the influences which
brought about Jetfersons departure from his
earlier policies are traced with careful hand.
The bitter experiences of Monroe and other
American diplomatists in England Spain, and
France; the dangers which beset the young Re-
public on every side in consequence of the wars
on the Continent and the fierce intrigues that had
their ramiieations ia every part of the world;
the brutal encroachments of the British on our
rights the repeated indignities and even out
RACES to which our seamen were subjected; the
dangers that threatened on all our frontiers from
the Indians and their allies these sketched
rapidly, forcibly, and distinctly. The treatment
of that most curious episode in our history, the
conspiracy of Aaron Burr, makes all the sur
roundings plain to even the hurried reader. The
discussion and relation are ample without pro-
liXity, and the readers interest is sustained
through chapter after chapter by the easy
flow of the style and rapid movement of
the incidents. With Mr.. Adams's conclud-
ing remarks Jeffersons retirement many
will disagree "He had undertaken to Gre
ate government which should interfere
in no way with private action, and he had created
one which interfered directly in the concerns of
every private citizen in the land He had come
into power as the champion of State rights, and
he had driven States to the verge OF armed re-
sistance. He had begun by claiming credit for
stern economy, and ended by exceeding the ex-
penditure of his predecessors. He had invented
policy of peace, and his invention had resulted
in the necessity of fighting the two greatest
Powers in the world" The close of the last
chapter presents painful picture of the morti-
fication and anguish in which Jeffersons "reign,"
as the author curously calls it, came to end.
Jefferson found himself hampered with debts,
which, though amounting to but S20, 0,0O0, he could
not meet. I'm his style of life as President"
says Mr.. Adams, Jefferson had INDUCED in such
easy and liberal expenses as suited the place he
held. Far from showing extravaganza, the
White House and its surroundings had in his
time the outward look of Virginia plantation.
The President was required to pay the expenses
of the house and grounds. Ia consequence, the
grounds were uncared for, the palings broken
or wanting, the paths underlined. and the place
a waste running imperceptbly into the fields

all is order cleanliness and beauty, how
sure they are to avoid doing anything
untitled to the surroundings and how
different would any one respect such
surroundings in comparison to what
they would if the floor was covered with
scraps and dirt and other things in
keeping. Plainly is it case of clean
illness begetting cleanliness. AS you
walk through the streets of Paris, Brus-
SEES or any well kept city abroad, your
self esteem rebels if you do not contrib.
ute your share to the scrupulous clean
illness Of the streets and when you come
back and step out upon Broadway New
York or upon the streets of Philada. or
Baltimore, or any American city, you
are surprised at yourself in not being
able to have seen before how miserably
kept they are and how justi6able are
the complaints of those who complain
Of the filth on the streets in our great
cities.
A custom that we object to will suf-
fee to give an idea, however. to what
extent this cleanliness prevails. A
restaurant in continental city, by law
or custom, occupies the front pavement
with its tables and chairs. Not only
he front pavement but they oft. times
extend half way across the whole street
with this furniture, and the passer by
must 60 around these table, &c, as no
passage way is left tor them. The
streets being so clean and so we'll kept
that patrons find it as pleasant to sit
out in the street and pedestrians find as
good footing to pass by as upon the
pavement. Again such thing as a
curbiug and foot pavement is unknown
in many continental cities. In Milan
the pavement is level from door to door
on the opposite side, foot passengers
walking as much in the middle of the
street as on the side, while the vehicles
often drive on the side and leave the
pedestrian the centre of the way.
In large cities. such as London and
Paris, custom prevails which Broad
way N Y. and other thoroughiares
should adopt. All wheel concerns going
one way must move on the same half Of
the street, while those coming the other
way must use the other half. This is
great advantage to pedestrians crossing;
for the first half they Only keep watch
ere way and when half way cross they
reverse their eye and watch only the
other way. At corners stopping place
in the centre Of the street is provided
surrounded by posts, aud driver pass
ing it on the wrong side is fined.

Thin Macadam Roads.

radiating from Newark through the
Oranges and Montclair. They have
stood the wear and tear for sixteen
gears admirably, of course with proper
repairs, and in only two or three in
stances did the foundation ever blow
up. These roads were county roads,
and really main arteries, but when the
local committees decided to build their
own roads, the divergence of opinion
and lack of crystallized sentiment led
to the adoption of anything from 4 to
IL inches, aud the result has been in
the same ratio as the thickness. The
Oranges, East, West and the city, have
laid their roads 10 to II inches in
thickness, and the uniformly good con

the result shows that it is to a certain
extent waste of money The only
advantage accruing in such road is to
keep the wagons from getting mired,
bnt as means of travel they do not reach
to very high order.
In the red sandstone formation of
New Jersey, in which all the roads
mentioned are laid, there are critical
periods, especially when the frost is
coming out, when it seems absolutely
necessary to have foundation of some
sort to keep the roads from breaking
up, and only in specially favored local
tiles is it possible to keep 6 inch pave
ment without rutting unless there is a
sharp fall to the roads. In the latest
roads built in this section at Bellville
adopted rule of making the thickness
of pavement as fellows: For grades
fatter than per cent, 10 inches; be,
tween and per cent, 8 inches; and
over per cent, 6 inches. This is the
thinnest construction advisable in this
locality with any certainty of good,
permanent results, unless the roads are
merely built as preventive from mir,
Ing instead Of for travel.
In conclusion, | wish to depreciate
as strongly as possible the idea of do.
ing cheap work in road construction, as
in my experience there is more money
wasted in these attempts than is gen
orally realized. A community, if edu.
Gated to proper standard, will prefer
to spend dollar wei! than fifty cents
in makeshilts, and it should be the
duty of every engineer to guide them
to that end.

Feminine Fancles.


Big black hats are very popular.
Black armures have great scarlet
dahlias upon their grounds.
Long cloaks are in great favor for
both large and small girls.
Petunia aud Java browns are the
favorite colors for street gowns.
Plain woolens, fine diagonals and
fancy striped woods are the most popu-
lar for daily wear.
The collar is made high for street
gowns, but is lower, and either round
or pointed, for house dresses.
Tulles for ball gowns are embroider
ed with flowers in natural colors.
Tea jackets have taken the place OF
the elaborate tea gowns for afternoon
wear at home.
One of the abandonment wooden
materials of the season is brown serge,
brocaded in tapestry designs OF deep
shaded red.
The fastest Persian novelty in gloves
has small purse inserted in the palm,
for railroad tickets aud small coins.
Velvet dresses are very fashionable
this winter, and elegant without ques-
tion when made with draped front of
China Grape.
Velvet sleeves in mutton leg shape
are added to wool cloaks for tiny girls
giving them a warm and picturesque
appearance.
Gray Astrachan, chinchhilla and
light beaver are the furs most favored
for misses and children's wear, and
they are most appropriate and becom
ing.
High collars are again in the ascen.
dant, as the cold weather approaches,
but the low, broad collar is worn 10
the house by those who have pretty
threats.
Slender girls are wearing silk scarfs,
Arab fashion, as sashes-that is wound
twice around the body, the ends knotted
loosely and hanging from the hips
nearly to the edge of the skirt.
All made crowns on the new bonnets
are lengthwise, in full, soft folds
which extend upward from the back OF
the crown. Trimmings on smooth
bats also have the same effect, to
heis hten the crown from the back.
A new finish for the neck of winter
garments is called the shawl collar. 1t
is deep at the back and turns over like
rever, extending to the waist at one
side only. These are made of velvet OF
fur. and are adjustable.
The herring. bone embroidery used
so much of late upon summer cottons
and linens is also applied to fine and
thin wool materials, Ii is executed in
aosss silk, and is very pretty in van
gated colors for half grown girls.
Snowy colors are emearld green,
pampas green. and tie reddish violet
known as "prune de Monsieur"
Olive green and plum" are very rich
in Irish poplins. Serpente is blue
gray green, if such combination can
be imagined.

STREETS OF TIE CITIES.
The same perfection which character
ICES the driveways in the rural districts
is evident in the cities upon the streets.
Our Kansas City friend who travelled
with US, whom We called "Governor"
by way of retribution, sent us the fol-
lowing clipping concerning the streets
of Paris and suggested the American
might have been myself. 1t was as
follows:
"Paris keeps the streets clean by not
permitting them to get dirty. An
American unsuspiciously tore letter
in two and dropped the pieces in the
gutter recently, just as he had doubt
less done hundred times at home. A
moment later policeman invited him
to retrace his steps and gather up the
fragment OF waste paper, ON the penalty
OF being arrested. The American was
sensible man, and instead of protest.
ing that America was the only free
country on earth, he then and there
learned valuable lesson, and subse-
qusutly exp essed his admiration of a
tity which showed such respect for
itself"
THIS is not only the c; Sc in Paris but
everywhere. 1t one goss into a neatly
