THE ROAD sCRAPER.

The method pursued in making (repairing) earth
roads Is substantially that used by the farmer in
sod. turf and mud from the bitches are pl0wed or
"hOned" up towards the centre of the road, where
they form land, which is not even rolled down
for the road. while it Is for the field. In short the
process used to render field fallow is the same
AS that followed on the road, while the object is
Just the opposite. When the Scraper is employed
instead of the plowthe result is the or worse,
as II IS used for being set at angle it rolls the
earth shaved from the projecting hummocks, with
the stones towards the centre, but usually only
part way, leaving a depressed trough or gutter in
the middle of the roadway between ridges of loose
earth, which are very soon washed back into the
cutters.
Instead of working the material towards the
centre it would be better TO carry it out of the
bitches in the cuts and place it on the lower por-

should be compacted by rolling. thus gradually

material will determine to great extent the use to
be made of it. If clean gravel it may all go back
on the road; sand it may be mixed with not more
than Is per cent of clay. If clay should be gotten

HEAVY DAMAGES RECOVERED AGAINST THE
CoUNTY.-The case of Mrs. Sarah A. Wise against
the Commissioners of Hartford county, was
concluded in the Circuit Court for Cecil county,
at Elkton, on Monday, the jury rendering a
verdict for $4,000 damages in favor of Mrs.
Wise. The suit was for injury to the dam and
water power of Wise's Mill, on Deer Creek, near
the Rocks, by freshet in 1888. The dam, it
was alleged, was destroyed by heavy timbers
which were allowed to remain in the stream
above the dam after new bridge had been con-
structed. In another and previous case Mrs.
Wise recovered s., 900 damages against Hartford
county for the destruction of dam in the same
place. Her husband is George Y. Wise, of
Baltimore city.

They are now round the throne of God above

ACCIDENT ON THE B. AND o. RAILROAD
While an east-bound freight train was taking
in water and packing hot box at Swan Creek
station, Baltimore and Ohio Railroad, on the
18th instant, the second section of the train ran
into it. The riding car of the foremost train
was completely telescoped and the draw head
and smoke stack of the second train were
smashed up, causing general piling up of cars
and their contents on the track.
The morning was foggy and the engineer did
not see the train standing on the track until too
late to stop. Fireman Frank Donnelly, who
was on the second train, seeing that collision
was inevitable, jumped from his engine and
was caught in the bridge which crosses the road
at the point named, receiving fatal injuries. He
was the only person injured. The other train
han DIS did not jump off.
Mr.. Donnely's father, Mr.. Patrick Donnely
lives about two miles from the scene of the &C.
cident, which occurred on the farm of his brother
The body was taken to Aberdeen, where it was
prepared for burial.
An inquest was held by Justice james T.

Henry Tarring, foreman, Charles jackson,
George W. Evans, Henry L Arthur, Daniel B.
Arthur, Benjamin Cole, Jarrett T. Baldwin, Sr.,
Harry A. Gilbert, W., A. Wells. w. E. Arthur
and John A. Osborn. The jury, in their verdict
censure the railroad company for not ordering
fagmen to flag approaching trains when un.
usually detained, as we'll at water stations as
at other places. If such precaution had been
observed the jury say that in their opinion this
accident would not have occurred.

His head was partially torn off,
On the blood-stained pillow lay one eye

The True Way of Resting.
DR.. William A. Hammond in North American
Review,

Review.
There are various kinds of rest. A per-
son whose occupation is chiefly carried on
by the use of his brain rests that organ
when he changes his work to physical
labor. Thus, q student who spends eight
hours day in intense mental application
derives immense benefit, not only to his
brain, but to his whole system, by brisk
walk of two or three hours or like period
employed in chopping wood. In such
case as this there is no complete rest for
the body; it is simply change of labor
from one kind to another kind 1t amounts
to nothing more than a proper exercise
for the mental and physical systems, and
if accompanied with seven or eight hours
sleep and five or six hours for eating and
amusement, might be carried on indeii-
nitely in any ordinary healthy locality. The
body does not require absolute rest, aAd,
as a matter of fact, il never gets it; for
even in sleep there is not inconsiderable
functional activity of various organs going
on. Such q student as | have referred to
would receive great advantage from going
to the woods, or the mountains, or the
sea shore for the summer, not to lie down
in a hammock or to Toll on the sand, but
to take his books with him, preferably de-
voted to subjects different from those that
he has studied in the city, and to exercise
his muscles by rowing boat or hunting for
natural history specimens on land OF sea,
instead of working in . gymnasium or
walking up and down Broadway and Fifth
avenue. Such person not only alters the
character of his mental and physical Ia
Dor. but he does it with such advantages
as are to be derived froIs. change of air and
scene, and they are by no means inconsid-
cradle. Now, this is not rest: on the con-
trary, it is work, and very hard work, too;
but no one can doubt that that student
would return to his regular pursuits with
a mind and body invigorated and capable
of doing better things than when he left
the CITY. = In short, man or
woman is TO be managed In respect to
rest in very much the same way that
farmer manages his field. The latter
knows the advantage of succession OF
crops. He knows that if he plants cab
bages every successive year in the same
piece of ground he will, in short time,
have very poor cabbages and very poor
ground; where's, by changing from one
thing to another, the product is better and
the earth is not deteriorated. He knows
also how much his land is improved by
allowing it 10 lie fallow every now ana
then. Men and women, like the fields OF
the earth, require change, and, like them,
they require rest; and these objects can
never be attained in the way that the Az
erage American sets out 70 get them.

LOST IN DEATH VALLEY.
Prospectors Saved Through the UnerrinI
Instinct OF a Jackass.

frospectors Saved Through the Unerrfng
Instinct OF q Jackass.
San Francisco Special
Robert Montgomery and two other pros
pectors have just returned to their new
camp in the Pahrump mountains, South
western Nevada. after one Of the toughest
prospecting trips ever taken in the Death
valley. They travelled 600 miles in four
weeks and narrowly escaped death by
thirst near the ill-omened Furnace creek,
where In early days eighty lost immi-
grants persisted miserably. In going from
Cottonwood TO Furnace creek they were
surprised by hot wind. Six pack mules,
which had been selected for their strength
ana endurance, soon gave out, and the
PACKS had to be cut off. The men and the
animals struck out for the foot hills to get
water In order to cool their raging thirst.
Ihelr little water was mixed with vinegar
and oatmeal, but the meal soured and
made mixture so hot that it blistered
their mouths and added to their agony.
The instinct of a jackass saved them, for
the brute scented water and set off on a run
for canyon, where they all drank their
fill. Montgomery's party found an
abundance of water on the west side of
Death valley, and several other springs
and streams that probably never had been
seen before by white men. In Cotton
wood canyon Montgomery found
several hundred Shoshone Indians,
prosperous and contented, who were
surprised and delighted to see a
white man come there from the burning
desert. They report mountain quail and
sheep to be plentiful on the west side
They also found near Furnace creek bones
of men and cattle belonging to the Town
send party, which started from Salt Lake
for Los Angeles, but only half dozen of
them ever got out of Death Valley alive.
The bones had been almost reduced to
powder by the intense heat of forty years,
but the tires and other iron of the 100
wagons still remain, though the Indians
have burned all the woodwork

court which tried First Lieutenant Walter

it was asserted, wrong reports
of money expended to the
quartermaster general and used
the money charged to laborers as ''slush"
fund at the post. The court found him
guilty and sentenced him to be repri-
manded by the proper authorities. In re-
viewing the case, General Stanley takes
the court to task for admitting irrelevant
matter as evidence, and adds that the &C

cleS of war and set up his own rule of &C
