along the roads into ten equal parts, or
imaginary blocks of $50 feet, 176 yards or
s chains each, and assign to each block
two numbers, one on each side of the road.
ANY and every house located within a
block is given the number of the block.
The first one-and in nearly every case it
will be the only one In the block-has
simply the number; the second one has the
same number followed by the letter A; the
third by the letter B; the fourth by c, and
so on-Nos. 1876, 1894, 1903, 1860, etc. If
there is no house in block, the number is
assigned to it just the same and it re-
mains in readiness should house be built
at future time.
When road goes completely through a
town and continues beyond, the country
numbers are suspended at the town limits
The measuring is continued through the
town the same as elsewhere, and the numbers
are resumed again after passing out of the
town limits again on the opposite side
The numbers to be applied are determined,
the same as elsewhere, by the distance
from the starting point
See how it works Here are the fine
points, and very strong ones, in favor of
this system. In fact, it is the only at
| tempt, so far as known, to systematic this
thing. The numbers indicate the distance
from the starting point, which can be fig
! ured almost instantly. As there are two
numbers to each block, divide the house
number by two to find the number of
blocks from the commencement; as there
are 10 blocks in the mile, divide the result
| by 10, or point off one decimal, and the dis
lance in miles and tenths is obtained.
Take, for example, 1856 Divide by and
you have 90; divide that again by 10, or
point off one decimal, and you have 9.S
miles. This calculation can be made as fast
as a horse can run. In the case of the odd
numbers, add /, divide by 2, divide by TO-,
and the correct result is obtain. As new
residences are built, new numbers can be
added at any time and to any extent with
out disturbing the existing numbers.
| The growth of towns which encroach
upon the country houses or new towns
springing up and absorbing several of the
country houses and their numbers would
not disarrange the numbering in the
| slightest degree. The numbers being de-
pendent upon the distance from the start
ing point. those remaining retain their
numbers unchanged The only disturb
ance which could ever possibly occur
would be in case where the first house
was placed near the end of the block and
numbered and afterward other buildings
were erected on the block before the orig
| inal one. In such cases the numbers Of
that particular block would need rearrang-
ing, but those in the other blocks would
remain undisturbed.
Numbers placed at the entrances to the
residences would in this way serve as mile
stones. If absolute accuracy is desired, it
can be easily indicated by placing in very
small figures below the numbers the dis
lance in feet to the edge of the block each
way, thus:

COMING HOME TO TEA.

The fire is burning gaily.
The kettle sings its BEST
All things are bright and cheerful
Here in our sweet home nest.
There's nothing now, my baby,
To do for you and me,
But just to watch someone
Coming home to tea.
In all the land, my darling,
He says-and true it is
There's not another baby
That's half SO sweet as his
And then-but this is nonsense,
And just to make me laugh
He knows there's not another wife
That's even halfofhalf.
Now think what he'll be bringing
To us to night, my pet;
A cherry smile, for one thing,
That never failed us yet;
A merry word of greeting.
And kisses two and three
For that's the way our someone
Comes always home to tea.
