GALVESTON NEWS thinks that
the only way to secure correctness
in newspaper statement is for the
editor to follow up his revises to
the press. 1t is too late in the day
to keep the forms waiting while
the first sheets are conned over for
typographical errors. The only
way is to be as correct as you can
and trust to the intelligence Of the
reader. With a hundred thousand
different pieces of metal to arrange
in single issue the wonder is at
the small proportion Of errors
There is no other business in the
world that shows such accuracy
considering the chances for errors
that continually present them
selves from the hour that copy is
| furnished until the issue is out.

A certain woman in west indianapolis
is a spiritualist. She is a regular attend
ant of all the meetings in the city and
gives private seances in the houses of her
friends. Those who have seen her per-
form say that at her command heavy ta-
bles and other pieces of furniture will
dance, move across the room and rise to
the ceiling. She lets everybody know Of
her belief and her powers. She was the
only passenger on a Kentucky avenue
car on a trip out to that suburb not long
ago. and she could not resist the tempta-
ton to introduce her favorite subject to
the car driver, who kindly left the door
open that he might listen. 1t was not
long before the car left the track-as the
cars on that line are in the habit of do
ing-and the driver got out to view the
exasperating state Of affairs The car
was in bad hole, and he was in a bad
fix. But bright thought flashed to his
mind. He went TO the car door and
called out, Say, lady. if you'll come out
here and lift this car on the track I'll
give you a dollar" The offer was not
accepted.-Indianapolis journal.

CROSS SECTION OF TELFoRD ROAD.
Broken stones of gneiss, of a size to
pass through ring 2 inches in diam
eter, are then spread evenly over the
pavement to such depth as will make
six inches when rolled. This layer is then
rolled first with elton horse roller, so
that the steam roller can pass over with
out difficulty, and when thoroughly COM
pact is in readiness for the top layer.
The top layer is of broken stone of trap
rock of a size to pass through a ring IL
inches in diameter, spread evenly over to
such depth as will bring the surface to
the proper grade. After being made
thoroughly compact screened gravel to
the depth of about II inches is spread on
top and thoroughly rolled.
Both the stone and gravel are kept well
moistened by means of sprinkling carts
while the rolling is going on, and the
gravel. working down into the inter
stices under the roller, consolidates the
whole material.
When completed, the entire depth of
pavement. stone and gravel is IS inches.
It has been found impracticable to
consolidate the stone when placed ON the
road by the heaviest rolling with a 49,
ton steam roller without some binding
material. Hard gravel has been used
for this purpose as being preferable to
loan or other material. When the ave
nue. is first thrown open to travel, the
roadway is kept moist by sprinkling, and
a man is employed to pick off any stones
that may be loosened by the feet of
horses. and 2-horse roller is kept.pass-
ing over it until it becomes thoroughly
compact and smooth. Good Roads.

1t is essential that the roadway should
be properly constructed withreference to
grading and ditching or drainage. This is
accomplished by excavating deep bitches
at each side Of the roadway lwhere the
road passes through level land) and the
construction at intervals of wooden or
stone culverts or sideways, in order
that the surplus water may be turned
aside or conducted away from the road
bed. When broken stone or cobblestone
Is used as a foundation. an excavation Is
made in the center Of the roadway be-
tween the two bitches to the depth Of
several inches and as wide as may be re-
quired to build the road. This excavation
is filed with broken stone or cobbiestone.
with the addition of sand and gravel,
and when the roadbed is completed It

In Favor of State Taxation For Roads.

The roads which the travelled Ameri-
can admires in Europe are none of them
built by the farmer, but by the general
government. Until the imperial ex-
chequer took the matter in hand 70 years
ago the roads in England were as bad
as they are in this country, if not worse.
The great highways which cross France
in all directions are built and maintained
by the central government Each de-
partment maintains another system,
which plays the same part in its COM
munication which the national high
WAYS do for France, and the farmers Of
the village or rural commune are not
asked to do more than build and keep in
order a few crossroads which tap the
great highways and roads paid for by.
the taxes which the national exchequer
and the department exchequer levies on
the wealth of the nation iii its cities.
The same thing is true in Germany,
Spain and Italy Nowhere the world
over has there been population of
farmers equal to the task of building and
repairing their own highways 1t is no
more likely to be true of the American
farmer than of any other tiller of the
soil doomed to hard work ana small re-
turns. In the crusade for good roads
the one most important problem is to
find money for roads by taxing the gem
eral community. In England the wheel
Of every pleasure vehicle in Hyde park
pays a tax. whose proceeds. reaching in
all nearly $l0,0O0.000 annually, keep in
order the country roads that pass every
farm in the kingdom, the farmers wag-
on being itself free from any tax. IN
less the state take up the construction
Of roads and pay their cost out of the
results of state taxation the present agi-
tation will end as others have ended be-
fore, in leaving the roads as they are

stones being from to 10 inches in
depth, 3 to inches in width and not ex-
ceeding IA inches in length, and of as
nearly uniform size as possible, with
parallel sides.
The stones are laid lengthwise across
the road, with the broadcast edges down.
After being closely set together they are
firmly wedged by inserting and driving
down with bar used for that purpose,
in all possible places, stones of the same
depth until every stone is bound and
clamped in the proper position.
The projections of the stones on the
top of the pavement are then broken off
