Doing the Right Thing.

The train was just pulling out of Weston,
Mo-, for st. Joe, when one OF the passengers
in the smoker put his head SO far out of the
window that a man near him felt it his duty
to utter a note of warning.

MACADAM ROADS.
How to Construct Stone Foundations ard
Top Surfaces.

Top Surfaces.
A roadway made with small pieces OF
stone firmly set in place is called mac
adam road. There are many methods of
construction, and the variations are
chiefly in the foundation. A macadam
top may be placed upon common dirt
foundation, but the best macadam roads
are built with stone foundation. The
method of constructing such road is
given i'll the following extract from the
treatise of Mr.. Clemens Eerschel, printed
in the book on Improvement of High
ways" published by the League of
American Wheelmen:
''The true principle of roadmaking con-
sists in giving every road two component
parts; one-the foundation-to be solid,
unyielding, porous and of large material;
the other-the top surface-to be made
up of lighter material, bound compactly
and evenly over the rough foundation.
''The roads of this kind, with mac
adam for the top surface, are called Tel
ford roads by English writers, from Tel
ford, who first built them in England.
The Central park gravel roads belong
under this head, gravel taking the place
of the macadam of the Telford roads.
These foundation roads are of far greater
importance than any other kind for
state, county or town roads, also for
parks and driveways. The top surface
of all these roads must have certain
inclination to cause efficient surface
drainage. Various authorities give vari-
Gus rules for the amount of this inclina-
ton OF side slope. 1t would seem just
that it should depend on the nature of
the top covering being less or more solid
than for looser or softer materials, and
also on the grade of the road.
Gin Baden, one of the smaller German
states, but which is worthy to be taken
as a model in matters of road building,
and in France, the rise at the center is
given as 1-40 to 1-60 of the width of the
road, according to the nature of the ma
terial; that is, inclinations of in 20 and
1 in 80. The rules in Prussia prescribe
inclinations of in "a for roads falling
more than in a hundred; and 1 in 18
for roads on grade Of between and 4
in hundred; and in 10 for those in
grade of less than 2 in a hundred. When
first built the center should be made
some four inches too high to allow for
after settling.

Feminine Tact.

In little episode of village life we had
lately another interesting instance of femi
nine tact. Upon the conclusion of a mar
riage in village church, the bridegroom
signed his register with his mark. The
pretty young bride did the same; and then
turning to young lady who had known hel
as the best scholar in the school, whispered
to her, while love and admiration shone iu
her eyes: 'He is a dear fellow, miss, but he
cannot write He is going to learn from me
and / would not shame him for the world"
To be able to say the right thing at the
right moment is great art, and said only
to be acquired by those who have a natural
talent that way. When a careless talker,
who was criticising a young lady's father
severely, paused q moment to say, II hope
he is no relation of yours, Miss b." quick as
thought she replied with the utmost non
chalance: only connection of mothers
by marriage. chambers Journal.

THE OLD CITY CHURCH.

The moon and the stars were shining down
On the silent streets of the mighty town,
And heard the bells from distant tower
Strike out the solemn midnight hour.
And then, as l stood in the shadows dim,
There came the SC nd of an old, old hymn,
And ) heart was full of peaceful tears,
AS heard the hymn of my younger years.

A EiDht with an EAGLE.

The two young sons of James Mean, of
Roxbury, N. Y, had fierce battle with a
gray eagle which they trapped. The bird
was held in the trap by its toe, and when one
of the brothers approached the eagle flew a
short distance, carrying with it the trap and
ten foot pole to which the trap was tied.
Fearing that they would lose both trap and
eagle, the boys attacked the bird, which
thereupop made vicious fight. 1t grabbed
one of the boys with its hooked beak, threw
him down and pounded him with It's wings,
The other boy grasped O. club and shortly sue
ceeded in dealing the eagle deadly blow on
its head. The bird measured Z feet inches
from tip to tip Of wings - Philadelphia
