GENERAL ITEMS.


Prof. Shelton P. Sanford, of Mercer
University, says that, reduced to the
last analysis, good road must possess
three elements-elements that cannot
be dispensed with. They are:
First-Easy grade.
Second-Perfect drainage.
Thjrd-Proper shape.
The great mistake, and one frequent
ly made, is running straight over hills
instead of winding around their bases.
Good economy in the saying of animal
power dictates that we take the longer
and level route rather than the short
and steep one. Eminent road makers
say that rather than compel horse to
ascend hill twenty feet high it is
better for the horse to travel twenty
times as far on leyel, or four hundred
feet.
1t Is impossible to make good road
if the water stands on it. Drainage is
absolutely Indispensable. bitches on
both sides of the road three feet wide,
and from one and a-half to three feet
deep, will secure etfectual drainage,
while the earth from the bitches will
supply the material for raising the
road-bed above the surface OF the
neighboring lands, and then secure for
it the proper shape.
What is the proper shape for a road ?
Many road-makers maintain that it
should be curved like the are of IA
circle. Roads with this sort of cross
section have the glaring defect of not
being uniform in their slope; they
fall off too rapidly at the sides, and
the consequence is that vehicles will
only trayei in the middle of the road,
and the rains Will rapidly wash the
sides into ruts. In my opinion a
much better shape is that of two in
clined planes, meeting in the center of
the road, the point of the meeting
being smoothly rounded off.
The inclination of such a road is
perfectly uniform from the centre to
the sides, and travellers will have nc
reason to prefer any one part of a
road so constructed to another -

The insects are easily gulled.
When Councilman surrenders the
Council Chamber rather than hold a
meeting with the press present, 1t does
not look like the press had lost much

The JOURNAL retired solely and only
because it was apparent that the
Mayor and three Councilmen did not
desire to break with their colleagues
who entertained the unconstitutional
notion that nobody can be trusted in
Frostburg but "Ous Most Trusted

Hence, had Mr.. Wittig and any
other Councilman who held his view
of the matter been only concerned,
there could have been no considerat on

have dared expulsion.

Origin ofCpape on the Door,

The custom of placing Grape on the

a recent death had its origin in the
ancient English heraldic customs, and
dates as far back at least as the year
100 A. ID. At that period Indictments
or armorial ensigas were placed in
front of houses when the nobility and
gentry died. These Indictments were
of diamond shape, and contained the
family arms quartered and colored
sable in such a manner that the
spectator at glance could tell what
branch of the family was dead, whether
the deceased was young or old, married
or single, widow or widower.
