STEAM ROAD ROLLER.

first course of the roller and slightly lap
the portion already rolled. When a
point near the center of the road is
reached, begin on the other side of the
excavation and repeat the operation, fin
ishing at the center. Rolling is omitted
when the soil is Of "a hard. gravelly na-
ture, or when n stiff clay is found which
presents firm surface. but whatever
be the nature of the soil the use of a
heavy roller will generally develop weak
spots, the presence of which would not
otherwise have been suspected. This
fact may be demonstrated by passing a
heavy steam roller over the earth foun-
dation after excavation has ls'eu made
for the InaCadam roadway. Ii will be
found that the passage of the roller over
what appeared To be a we'll graded sur
face Ot compact material will develop a
series of hur:IS. holes and GndulationS,
utterly dtsI T,,NIus the uniformity of the
grade in places, and revealing many soft
and weak places which are wholly unfit
TO sustain Il permanent stone rOadway
and the wagons which are to pass oyer il.
These holes and hollows should of
course be filled with good, firm material
and the rolling process continued until
the roadbed becomes uniform in grade
and thoroughly compact. In soft soils
and in places where a steam roller may
not be easily sustained or worked to ad-
vantage, it is best to begin the rolling
with light roller and one Of large iii,
ameter. but the rolling should he com
pleted by the application of as heavy a
machine as possible and the surface made
as solid and unyieiding rs the nature OF
the material will permit
Use a steam roller if possible. 1t can
be purchased of any weight, from tc
20 tons, though steam rollers having q
weight of from 10 10 90 tons are mos
commonly used. For all ordinary couu
try roads a roller of 10 tons in weight is
about right.-Good Roads.

Once You surrender to an influence

Tom blew cloud of smoke into the
air and remained silent. The words had
startled and shocked him little. They
set n new circle of impressions moving
in his brain. Could love WELD weak

In five minutes he had looked at the

it. Across the face was piece Of pa

belongs to the old Austrian aristocracy
and was born in Prague in 1851. He is
n member of the Austrian herrenhaus
and also of the Wurtemburg house of
lords, besides being court chamberlain
and member of the privy council. he
succeeded his father as head of the elder
branch of the Windischgraetz family
and grand master Of the house to the
emperor in 1867.
The prince has very extreme views as
to the rights of large landholders and the
privileges of the ancient nobility. He
claimed exemption from the compulsory
military service of n year in the volun-
teers on the ground of his hereditary
rights, and these not being recognized
he served his full year. but refused to
take the prescribed officers examination
and was mustered out Ms simple cor

Interesting Matrimonial RumorS Concern

and George Barclay, an attache of the
British legation at Washington, and the
latest rumor credits William c. Whit

Cleveland'S former cabinet, with win

that the members of Miss Letters fami.

Miss Letter is the daughter of we'll

Prof. Conyers' Arithmetic Glass. f.

The following is conversation
between Prof. C1nyers and our
news gatherer:
Is your class in Arithmetic a sue
cess? Yes, as to their progress,
decidedly so. They are so inter.
ested that the hours from s to 10
p. IN. pass before they are aware of
of it. They are all making rapid
progress, and by the end of the
tirst month they will have acq1ired
a knowledge of arithmetic that they
would not lose for ten times it's
cost.
Do you propose thorough ana
lytical course OF short business
methods only?
The course is analytical and thor
ough, but the latest aud shortest
business methods are included.
Would You admit new members
into your class at any time? Yes,
for the present, the class being di-
vided into sections, any that may
come can be accommodated. There
are a great many in Waco now at
a dita Iva atage IN life because they
do not understand arithmetic.
Goodbye.
