The Surface of Block of Street Torn Up
in 4 Min utes-hayor IIaselton leased.
The steam roller was given a thorough
test Monday and its work proved
very satisfactory. The surface of st. Paul
street between Main and Maple streets was
broken up in 45 minutes. The block of
Main street through which the street rail
way passes, was then run over with the roller
and its top loosened. Afterward the ma
chine was used on st. Paul street ns a roller
Chairman Brown of the street commits
sioners liked the working of the roller very
much. He said that it would have taken
% men all day to have accomplished what
the roller did in As minutes and a number
OF the aldermen, who saw the machine
work, concurred with him. Mayor Hasel-
ton watched with deep interest the great
l6-ton engine tear up the street. He was
pleased with its work. There were plenty
Of onlooksrs.
After the roller had loosened the surface
the streets were narrowed Superintendent
Stevens then set men leveing Off the block
of st. Paul street and carts to drawing
crushed stone with which to make a good
surface. Men with carts wero also put at
work hauling away few inches OF the top
Of the Main street block and bringing the
street to the grade line. When these streets
are got in shape the roller will be used to
pack down the surface dirt.
Horses did not know what to make OF the
big machine as it moved along slowly with
its locomotive puff, but drivers OF passing
stseds held them steadily and no runaways
occurred
The roller will be kept in use every week
day until cold weather interferes or the ap-
preparation for the street department gives
out.

his boat to row out from shore a short dis

like angling. Royal had got only few
rods from shore when Willie heard a splash
Looking at the boat he saw no one In IL.
He jumped into another boat quickly, and

five feet away, but went down the second
time before he could get to him. The boy
came up again shortly, however, and get

Mitchell pulled him into the boat. 1t was
very narrow escape for the Bingham boy,
and but for the courage and pluck and
presence Of mind of Willie Mitchell he would
have drowned, as no one else was about the
shore.

Singular Story of n Detroit Molder-

Nelson's ship, the Victory, was de-
signed to carry 104 guns, consisting Of
80, "a and 10 Founders, ranged on her
upper, main, middle and lower decks.
She was also armed with a few 6S-pound-
er carronades. The weight of her one
broadside of single shotted guns was
1,1O4 pounds, which vas considered pro-
digious in those days. In the account Of
the battle of Trafalgar, in which action
this ship played so prominent a part, the
bro .,ide that she poured into the
French Bucentaure is described as ter
rife, dismounting 20 of her adversary's
guns and killing and wounding no less
than 400 of her officers and men.
Compare this with our guns of the
present day, when a single gun of the
Nile or Trafalgar throws a projectile
100 pounds heavier than the whole
broadside of the Victory, while one Of
our 1O1-ton guns discharges a projectile
weighing no less than 1900 pounds! 1t
may be of interest to know that while
only 1926 pounds of powder were ex-
pended in the discharge Of a broadside
from the Victory as much as 5000
pounds weight Of powder is consumed
in firing the broadside of the Victoria or
the Sans Pareil, two of our modern IRON
clads!-Good Words.

The Problem of the Cradle.

Ever since the world began mothers
have been rocking cradles and singing
lullabies. From time immemorial the
problems have existed. What can we
do with this baby? Where can we put
it so that it will be safe? How can we
manage to secure a few intervals Of
peace and tranquility? How can we still
its cries and whines? How can we teach
it to walk? In a word, how can we
e~mancipate ourselves from the absorbing
tyranny of these sweet babes. our off
spring?
The solutions which have been in
vented by the solicitude, the ingenuity
and the instinct of mothers have taken
the form Of cradles, swaddles, leading
strings and gocarts. The variety of
these inventions is considerable, and a
description of them would form, per-
haps, a curious chapter in the history of
hygiene and domestic economy.-Har-

little more freely, though still with q
good deal of apprehension. He
feared that in coming up he had shaken
down a sufficient quantity of scot to be-
tray his manner Of escape and give a
clew to his place of retreat. But a
glance downward at his clothes con-
WINGED him that he had little to be
alarmed about in this respect-for this
hue had never been much used, his gar
uents were not badly soiled, and he
could not perceive dirt enough below to
attract attention.
He had not long to wait before he
heard the soldiers enter the room, led by
the treacherous girl.
"Hal he escaped" exclaimed the latter
in alarm.
The officer swore some terrible oaths
and fiercely demanded which way.
EITHER up the chimney or into some
other part of the house." said Fanchette.
"He was here o few minutes ago."
"Quick, men, fly about, he's not up
here" cried the officer, looking up the
chimney. 1.-TWO of you run out and see
if he's on the roof, and the rest ransack
the house! IF we don't find him, we'll
burn it DOWN.
A hurried search was apparentlymade
of the room they were in, and then Cap
tain Lavergne heard the soldiers in diff
ferent parts of the house opening and
banging doors, shouting and cursing.
He felt his situation now to be very crit
ital indeed, for should the house be
fired he feared there might be nc escape
for him. After awhile the noise and tu-
multi subsidized, and every moment he
was in trembling expectation of hearing
or seeing something to indicate that the
building was on fire, and he now re-
solved to make another bold effort for
his life. He reasoned that those sent
outside to see if he was On the roof had
already rejoined the others, and he now
resolved to gain the roof, and if he could
do so undiscovered to venture a leap
among the thick shrubbery at the rear
of the mansion.
In the course of two OF three minutes
this dangerous feat was successfully exc
cuted, and Captain Lavergne found him
self once more on the ground outside
considerably scratched and bruised, but
not seriously injured. He nov heard
loud voices inside and hurriedly stole
away through the shrubbery.
The searching officer, not finding any
trace of the man he sought. at last be-
came enraged at the t~reacherous girl
and accused her of deceiving him. This
impression was soon strengthened into
conviction by Nine. Loufourcade and
the other servants, and the whole affair
ended in the release of the prisoners and
the arrest of Fanchette, who was her
self marched off to prison, where she
died.
After the soldiers had gone Captain
Lavergne returned to the mansion to as
sure Nine. L%oufourcade of his safety
and then set off to make his escape from
the country, which he accomplished and
lived to return at the end of the Reign
of Terror.-Exchange.

The following extract from a letter
written by ia. Starbuck Of Yorktown,
Iowa, speaks for itself: 1.-TWO years
ago, in harvest time, a young man came
in my store and said he had been binding
wheat during the forenoon, and was so
bad with diarrhoea and collie pains, that
he would have to lay off unless he could
get relief. [ took Il bottle of your
diarrhoea remedy from the shelf, gave
HIM a dose; sold him the bottle, and told
him | would give the money back If it
did no good. He came in hex morning
and SAID the single dose did its work so
well, that he not only kept up his place
binding during the afternoon, but had
worked all night, and had the price of
the dose [ gave HIM been three dollars
itwould have been cheap. Twill further

A Bit of Jewish Wit.

A striking commentary was recently
made by a Russian Jew on the judicial
corruption which sustains his country.
He passed the law courts in one of the
citieso of his empire and noticed a fine
statue placed in front of the building.
"Whom does this statue representa-"
he inquired of a passerby. "Why, JUS
