Much Like a BABY.

"A new play is a good deal like a
baby said Ben Teal, the expert stage
manager. you have to coddle it and
nurse it and doctor it and monkey with
it from the very start, and this with no
certainty that it will come to anything
after all your time and trouble. 1t may
die on your hands before it can walk; it
may linger along in a sickly, doubtful
state, giving no intimation what the end
may be, and it may pick up with wise
treatment and careful attention and
prove worthy of your trouble. But even
a nice healthy baby will die easily of ex-
posture and indifference: so will a good
play badly handled. 1t is ticklish
business to raise children properly, and
it's delicate job to get play through
the first stages of life to self supporting
maturity. New York Herald.

people had long since voted croquet and

! Thought of clover party, and this is
how we carried ont the idea. To the

were attached cards bearing numbers

and under the spreading boughs the lit
tie clover leaves were to be sought. Each
invitation had clover leaf, bumblebee,
butterfly or some such design drawn
thereon with inca ink, while partners
were selected by cards bearing poetical

the lady, the remainder on another for

The total depth of pavement was gen
orally ~ inches. On some of the roads
the telford foundation was not laid I'M
der the entire width of the pavement,
but strip feet wide on each side con-
sisted of macadam stone only. Under
drains were laid wherever required to
relieve the subgrade of water and to fit
it for rolling and consolidation.
The telford foundation consisted of
trap rock on most of the roads. hard
granulite or similar stone being used on
the others. The stones were of the gem
eral wedge shape shown in the illustra-
ton, set on their bases and placed side
by side with their longest dimensions
transverse to the line of the road.
The stones were at least inches deep.
the base being from to IL inches in
length and not less than 4 inches in
width. After a sufficient length of this
foundation had been laid all protecting
points of stone were broken off with
hammers, and smaller stones, spalls and
chips were wedged and hammered into
every opening until the whole was made
a rigid mass of stone. This process of
mapping was continued until all points
above grade were broken off. the low
places filled with stone, and the telford
presented sufficiently even surface at
the proper grade.
The foundation was then rolled thor
oughly. the roller used weighing at least
FIVE tons. In the construction of the lat
er roads thin layer Of clay was spread
over the telford previous to the rolling
to prevent the screenings (Which were to
be applied later from sitting through
the foundation, and also to form cush-
ION for the lnacadam stone.

Nj T. A. Danhara, who was the enei-
neer IN charge Of road improvements ia
Union county. y. j., and other popular
suburbs u New York. the results Of
which have been in a high degree salts
factory. in a communication 10 Good
Roads gives his general plan Of opera
tons:
All the roads were carefully located
and mapped, and accurate levels were
taken and proflcs made for establishing
the grades. particular care being taken
with tins part Of = work, as it was con-
sidered Of the greasst importance. On
the earlier roads some quite heavy earth
work was done both in excavation and
embankment in order to reduce steep
grades as much as possible. On later
work, however, it was considered advis-
able TO reduce the cost os the earthwork,
andin order TO do this grades were estab-
lished which necessarily followed more
nearly the general surface of the old
roads. Sufficient grading was always
done, however, to insure adequate in
clination for drainage.
The benefits TO be secured by expend-
ing even a moderate amount of money
in improving the grade of roads about to
be paved are not appreciated as they
should be. Hills and hollows which
might have been improved at a very
slight expense are often left in the road
to be a continual detriment to its useful
ness. II should be remembered that it
is not expected nor desired to make
level road, but that often only small
amount Of earth need be taken from the
top Of hill and added to the hollow at
its foot to convert a bad billy road into
a good one with easy grades.
We should also bear in mind that this
expense Of grading, once incurred, is for
ever done with, while if the need of
grading should be realized after the com
pletion of the pavement all the work
done upon the latter would have to be
sacrificed.
Sometimes the road is too level. allow
ing the water to settle at slight depres-
sions and saturate the subgrade. 1t is
then imperative to cut or fill, or both,
as may be foa most expedient, in or
der to give a saaicient fall in the cutters
to carry the water 70 the nearest stream.
Underdrains are also required in such
places TO relieve the subsoil of water
This matter of securing a dry founda-
ton for the pavement is really the most
important end 10 be gained by grading,
as the pavement may be constructed and
permanently maintained on grades
very inconyenient steepness, but if the
drainage is neglected the existence Of the
pavement itself is imperiled.

a MAN WIG TAKES NO VACATION.
New York Editor Claim. to Have Been

New York Editor Claims to Have Been
at Ills Desk For Forty Year,.
Is has come of recent wears to seem al
most sinful for man who can possibly
get a vacation 10 work on without il.
Hardly any great moral truth has been
so persistently aimed at American brain
workers as the assurance that they
worked too hard and too continuously
and needed more vacations and longer
ones. They have been assured that they
could not hope to live their lifetimes ont
and continue to do good work unless they
refreshed their energies from time to
time by vacations.
Yet here is Mr.. Stone, who saws he is
20 years old and who has nothing the
matter with HIM and has worked par
ticularly hard the last four years and
yet has taken no vacation within the
memory of middle aged men. What is
the matter with the vacation theory?
Has Mr.. Stone proved that it is wrong?
Probably not. More likely Editor
Stone is the exception that proves the
rule. He has done very well without
vacations, though of course there is no
telling what new light might have shone
out of The Journal of Commerce brewer
If Mr.. Stone had sometimes stopped
writing long enough for new inspira-
ton to reach him.
One objection to continuous brain
work, especially literary work, is that
the writer IS in danger Of getting into
rut and OF working over his original stock
Of impressions without getting any new
ones, until his individuality becomes ex-
aggerated, his work becomes deficient in
variety and breadth. 1t is the same sort
of objection that is made to the marriage
of cousins. and it may be met by the
same sort Of reply. For as it is averred
that if the stock is only sound enough
cousins may marry with IMMUNITY, so in
the matter OF writing it may be said that
if only the author is sound enough he
may go on spinning literature ont of his
own head indefinitely without stopping
10 look around and no harm come of it.
Editor Stone must be one Of those ex-
ceptional writers, for he finds himself
able to say that since he has been a
newspaper writer he has not written "a
line that could bring blush to any hon
est cheek" or which he would wish to
recall as untruthful or insincere. 1t is
suspected that chief use that ordinary
newspaper writers have for vacations is
to give them due opportunity to repent
of all the faulty things they have writ
ten in their terms of labor. So of course
a man who has written nothing that he
is sorry for has much less need of rest
than his fellow who has devoted a con-
siderable proportion Of his busy mo-
ments TO works meet for repentance in
his hours Of e.-Harper's Weekly.
