Parian Marble.

It has often been said that the Parian
marble was exhausted by che ancients,
but such is not the case. The chief
Athenian sculptor of today, MI. Broutos.
uses it commonly for his finer work,
though he also uses the Pentelec marble
for large statues and groups. The Parian
is whittier, the Pentelec inclining to gray.
The latter is sandy and gritty as COM
pared with the Parian, while the defect
of the Parian marble is it's larger crys-
talline character, especially if it is not
carefully quarried. The best of the
modern qnarries are free from this fault,
and it is this which Professor Broutos
uses. His reliefs of the 'Twelve Gods
all exceedingly beautiful, and partic-
ularly the ''Pallas' and "Mars"-are
carved in slabs of the most transparent
Parian marble.
There is now a chance for some ener-
getic American to corner" all the Pa
rian marble in the world, except that
which has left the quarry and been
carved into statues, temples, etc. An
islander of Paros, who owns the marble
mountain, wishes to sell it subject to a
lease, which is not likely to be operative,
because the leasing parties have ex-
hausted themselves in building tracks,
elevators and such things to get the mar.
BILE out and do not seem to have capital
enough to go on with the work of quar-.
rying.-Boston Advertiser.

A Story of Baron Reinach.

A Paris correspondent tells a good
story of the late Baron de Reinach. Some
time before the baron's tragic demise a
fancy dress ball was given at a friends
house, and he was among the invited
guests. During the early part of the
evening every M wa astonished by the
vagaries of a visitor who had donned the
cap and bells and ''fooled it" so cleverly
as to attract general attention. Every
one was anxious to know who it was,
but he declined to reveal his identity.
When the time came to throw off the
masks, to the establishment of all it was
seen to be M. de Reinach.
The baron accepted the compliments OF
his fellow maskers and was the hero OF
the evening. It was not until some time
afterward that it was ascertained that he
had played a joke on the people. He had
engaged the services of a clown from the
circus, who was much of the same build
as himself, and had two dresses made
alike. The clown whose acrobatic feats
attracted SO much attention was the
circus performer, and M. de Reinach only
took his place at the end to surprise his
friends and receive their congratulations.

SiNEinS, to the Herd.

Some cowboys and cattlemen laugh
ingly assured me that they only sing on
watch to keep themselves awake; others
say they. sing, talk loud or make a noise
just to let the cattle know they are APP
preaching SO as not to brighten and
stampede them, but the greater number
hold, as / myself had read and been led
to believe. that the sound of the human
voice, singing, talking OF calling out
c~heerfully, quiets and reassures the ami
mails. However it may be, they all sing
and talk or whistle to them, and among
my most vivid and picturelike recollec-
lions is one of a certain night when an
aching head and heavy heart held me
awake, and slipping from the house in
the little hours l went aimlessly across
the level plain toward where a big herd
was camped.
When within 800 or 400 yards of the
bunch, l could see, under the white
Texas moonlight, the dark mass of cat
tie and occasionally a silhouette, between
ME and the sky, of one of the guards on
his pony, and in the intense loneliness of
the plains night the singing of the one
boyish voice holding his untaught, un-
conscious way through "A Fountain
Filled With Blood" and the whistling
of his companion on a little harmonicon
"Sweet Home" as they came round past
me in turn, were as lovely and touching
sounds as l ever heard.-Kansas City
Times

MAKING MAcADAM ROADS.
The Construction Is Simple and Is Readil
Learned by Practical yfeu.

The Construction Is Simple and Is Readily
Learned by Practical Men.
The construction of a macadam road
is as simple as saving wood. There is
nothing complicated, difficult or mYs,
FERROUS about it. To be sure. it involves
some practical knowledge of materials
n methods; but, as compared with
many OF the operations of the FARMER and
the mechanic, the making Of a good road
upon either the macadam orthe telford
plan is simplicity itself.
make this statement with the full
knowledge that it will. invite criticism
n that many excellent and intelligent
roadmakers will contend to the con-
trary, but it must be- remembered that
while the extended skill and knowledge
OF the engineer arejalways useful, yet in
the making of thousands of miles Of
mscadam roads such as will eventually
be laid upon the, line of our important
country highways, the work of the road
maker will bejlargely confined to simple
routine work, in which the common
sense application of materials and meth
DDS will prevail ovvr abstract theories,
and thefhigher technical training of the
engineer will be demanded only in those
cases where problems of drainage and
construction are too complex for the
mind of the. layman.
In short, so far as the making of a
macadam roadway is concerned, there
are thousands of practical and clear head
ed men III every stgte who can so quickly
acquire knowledge of materials and
methods as to fit them for the manage.
ment of ordinary construction work.
1t might be said. that a knowledge Of
chemistry and geology are often called
into play to determine the qualities Of
materials which,a roadmaker may pro
pose to use, and that the best roadway
cannot be insured without a knowledge
of these sciences, but the fact remain!
that the best roadway is rarely built ir
any locality, for in most cases it is diff
cult to find more than a single conven
lent quarry, and while a better stone
might I've found than that which thi,
quarry supplies the cost of transporta
ton makes its use impracticable.
1t may therefore be safely said tina
while t~heiservices of an engineer are al
ways to be desired there is nothin,
about the making Of a common macadan
roadway which may not in most cases b
learned by any intelligent citizen, and i
he will acquaint himself with the knowl
edge of soils which will enable him t.
know the difference between a wet sol
, and a dry'one, a porous soil and a reten
tive n land if he will come to distin
. guish the difference in stones, betwee.
hard and soft, between tough and friable
. and add to,this a knowledge of the prin
ciples and practice of consolidating tn
4 subsoil and the macas1am crust and tn
1 drainage of both, he will have mastere
the chief points upon which rest a know.
edge of scientific roadmaking. And thi
knowledge is easily acquired, and, to tn
, patient man, easily Taught. B. Potte

How III Romans Built Their Roads.

The Roman roads-the Via Appia and
the Via Aurelia, the Via Flaminia, the
roads TO the Rhine and the, Danube and
the 1000 miles of road from the wall of
Antoninus in Great Britain through
Rome to Jerusalem--still reveal lessons
in construction worthy Of the study Of
the roadbuilders in th%einineteenth cen
fury. Their methodiof construction was
to remove the soil to the full width Of
the road till a solid foundation was
reached. This soil w~astreplaced by more
solid material, we'll packed and made
thoroughly compact, and every precau-
ton was made to have the body of the
road hard and strong. This strength
was madeiperfect by four layers of ma
terial, thetlower layer consisting of large
fiat stones, if convenient; if not, other
stones were used, and these We're laid in
mortar.
The nextilayer was of small stones or
coarse concrete. The third was of finer
concrete on which was laid stones of
several angles joined solidly together,
which was the top layer. These four
layers constitute a thicknessof from three
to sometimes seven feet. Many of the
roads constructed blythe Romans remain
in good condition to this day, after q lapse
of Is centuries, during which most of
them haveihad little or no repairs. They
stand a monument to the engineering
ability of their builders and a worthy
example for the most able engineers of
the present century to follow.
No system of BODYBUILDING has been
devised which. in point Of durability and
smoothness. approaches the work of the
conquerors. To be sure, the cost of the
construction Of such roads was enor-
nous, but they were built for a military
purpose, and large armies of men were
available in their construction. In these
times we must devise some cheaper
method of ~roadmaking. But it is evil
dent that a system which is based on the
same fundamental principles which
dwell in the construction Of the old
roads will give the best results.-Omaha

A WORTHY

WE RISE to make a hasty correct
ion. No fewer than a dozen sub
scribers, all delinquents, have pre-
sented complaints at this shop that
they did not receive their papers.
We questioned those supposed to be
the most reliable as to why they did
not possess a post Office box, and
were told in all cases hat they
could not get a box. We lately in
terviewed Mrs. Sprague the post
mistress on that subject, and that la
dy assured us that at present she
has over fifty vacant letter boxes,
ready to be rented.
We can no longer take the side OF
delinquent subscribers in de-
Tense of their supposed rights, and
will only say that if they "put up
their quarterage to Mrs. Sprague and
their arrearage to this journal of
civilization they may be sure of get
ting their mail as fast as it comes to
them.
Rent a box and pay for it. Then
and not till then will you have a
reasonable cause for complaint a.
gainst the postmaster and the editor.
