the astonished dealer, dropping fowling

As to Cold Toes.

Many people, especially women and chill

cold feet This is mainly due to the fact
that they wear their shoes too tight. Unles:
the toes have perfect freedom the BLOOD

fened and benumbed toes, cold feet and otter
nurnbness up the limbs People who wear
rubbers the whole winter through generally
suffer with their feet. Rubbers make then
very tender by overheating and causing
them to perspire. They should only be worr
during stormy or slushy weather, and ever
then should be removed as soon as one enter:

hot and wet with perspiration-then as soor
as one goes again into the air the feet are

the farmers put some dry straw OF pieces Of
newspapers in the bottom of their boots.
myself have often tried the latter, and car

against cold feet. This is doubtless because

Puttinp 1t to the Test.

Faith in the friendship of others is a very
good thing to have, but it is not always
strengthened by the unexpected guise that
friendship occasionally assumes. A young
versifer, upon submitting one of his produc-
tions to his older and less dreamy room mate,
was asked, the verses having been read with
great care:
'Did you write this stuff"
"Yesn
"Where will you send it?"
''To Mr.. Blank. He's the editor of The
W Daily Journal I send it to him be-
cause he is an old friend of my fathers"
"All right; Pm glad you're going to send
it to Blank. Perhaps, for your fathers sake,
he will decline to print it. "-Harper's Maya

Road Mendine In France.

A writer in Harper's Weekly recently
gave the following description of mend
ing national road in France: with
the beginning of October and the rainy
season an inspector comes out-though
for that matter he is almost always trav-
cling up and down-followed by large
gang of men, one or more steam rollers,
which, if the district is far from town,
pull after them gypsy vans in which the
men live. The properly broken stone is
then spread evenly over the road, the
interstices are filled up with smaller
stones and pebbles, the refuse from the
larger stuff; over this is spread a layer
of chall1y or clayey earth, which had
been carted and heaped there in neat
piles during the summer; what we would
call mush molly is made out of the whole
mass with water from the gutter, which
the engine of the roller pumps through a
hose; the steam roller next parades up
and down over the surface for day or
SO, boards and guards are put up to keep
the passers by from driving on the grass,
and by the middle of winter the whole
surface is perfect; SO perfect is it that in
! a ride through the Vosges in the early
spring, although there were high snow
hanks on both sides, the road having
been cleared, and although frost was
coming up out of the ground, it was COM
paratively easy to ride on light bicycle
instead of being obliged to pull the ma
chine through sea of mud

six to eight inches in size, are set in po-
sition on the rolled earth and covered
with a six-inch layer Of macadam metal,
broken so as to pass through a two and
one-half inch ring. This is then rolled
with a steam roller, the pattern most
commonly used being 15-ton machine,
costing $4,000, though cotton and Bottom
machines are in use.
s'When it is found that the metal will
not yield to the roller the bed is ready
for another layer of stone, which should
to the sides, and again compactly rolled.
A top dressing of fine broken stone, usu
ally the screenings from a crusher, and
not exceeding three-quarters of an inch
in largest dimensions, is spread over the
road to depth of two inches. A steam
roller will compact these screenings to a
smooth surface and the road is ready
for travel The rolling is facilitated and
greater compactness secured if the stone
is thoroughly sprinkled. Unless great
volume Of traffic is to pass over the road
it is not necessary to have the metal a
foot thick, depth of eight inches being
sufficient for ordinary travel"
In using the macadam on a common
dirt road, without the Telford founda-
ton, the metal is placed upon the hard
rolled surface in uniform layer not ex-
ceeding inches in depth. This layer is
compactly rolled, and then another layer
of metal is spread on and treated in the
same way, and SO on until the roadway
is completed according to The Records
description of the Telford road.
The great expense of macadam roads
is an obstacle to their general adoption.
A method for reducing the expense is
suggested by The New York Journal of
Commerce in an editorial given below:
SIT would pay every where to construct
the best macadamized roads, and the
work should be undertaken by the state
where long thoroughfares are required.
We have often suggested that it need
cost very little if the convicts and Grim
inals who cannot be given their liberty
because of their unrestrained depravity
were employed at the task. This would
effect double object. 1t would build
splendid roads at small cost throughout
the length and breadth of the land, and
it would tend to restrain crime. 1t is
little hardship to the burglar or the high
wayman to keep him in prison where
he is well fed and clothed and better
cared for on the whole than the average
of honest laborers who support them
selves. If he was set to breaking stone
and road building in a chain gang, and
made to eat his bread in the sweat of his
face, under a burning July sun or in the
chill of winter, he would not think that
conviction of crime was such a light
matter"

Staunton vindicator. [volume] (Staunton, Va.) 1860-1896, 1890-04-25

regular stone from six to eight inches In
size as base, to prevent the smaller stone
from being pushed into the ground in
soft places, and to insure good drainage.
Macadam denied the usefulness of the
foundation, and engineers are yet divid-
ed ON the question.
Macadam's rule for the size of the
fragments, termed road metal, was six
ounces in weight. A cube of one and
one-half inches of compact limestone
weighs about six ounces.
Roadways with the macadam top and
with or without the Telford base may be
constructed from common dirt road.
The method for such work is described
in a recent article in The Philadelphia
Record. A variety of macadam roads
are now under way in the vicinity of
Philadelphia, and this article evidently
treats the matter from a practical point
of view:
