How could ! resist thee
Why then ask me how I'd act

Material For Telford Roads.

The fittest material for roads is trap
rock. The material for foundations may
be Of any durable stone, laid by hand
close together and sledged, and if round
they should be broken, as round stones
come to the surface. The foundation
should not be less than inches thick
Before putting in the broken stones it is
better to spread a thin layer of loan, suf-
ficient to fill the spaces of stone and make
an even surface. When the stone has
been put in, it should be properly rolled
by roller weighing about two tons, cas-
lily moved by two horses. While top
coating of screenings is desirable it can
be dispensed with. The repairs on road
are the most important of the work. If
a road is built properly, it should wear
uniformly, and when its thickness is so
reduced that it is necessary to recover
it it should be done in.sections, from a
mile to one-half mile, and it should be
laid, spread and rolled in the same man.

India Rubber Roads.

New ideas in paving have lately at
tracted attention, says Siftings. Among
these is the paving of bridge by Ger
man engineer with india rubber, the re-
suit having been so satisfactory as to in
luce its application on a much larger
scale, point in its favor being that it is
much more durable than asphalt and not
slippery.
In London section of the roadway
under the gate leading to the departure
platform of the st. Pancras terminus
has for some time past been paved with
)lis material, with the effect of deaden-
ing the sound made when being passed
over ON wheels, besides the comfortable
elasticity afforded to foot passengers.
| Another material which is being salts
factorily introduced for this purpose is
composed of granulated cork and btu
men pressed into blocks, which are laid
like bricks or wood paving, the special
advantage secured in this case being that
of elasticity.

christian Endeavorers In India.

The town is Madanapalle, in the Ma
dras presidency. The white bullocks are
hitched to the missionary wagon, into
which we Chamber for ride of a mile
or so from the mission bungalow to the
center of the town. Beside the carriage
on each side marches a row of Endeay-
orers, Ephraim and Isaiah, Isaac and
Gabriel and Jacob and many other
Scripture worthless, forming such an es-
cort of Old Testament characters as we
never expected to enjoy.
For awhile they march along in 81
lence, but as we near the center of pop
ulation our Endeavorers clang their
cymbals and strike up gospel song Ii
Telugu. As they come to the more thick
" peopled streets their singing becomes
more vigorous, and before they get to
the place of meeting they divide into
three or four bands and march through
the leading streets of Madanapalle sing
ing at the top of their lungs the gospel
invitation.
Slowly from street and alley and
courtyard the crowd begins to gather.
attracted by the singing, and all coz
verge to a central spot under spreading
banyan tree.
A whitewashed wall ON one side Of the
street serves as wl1te curtain Tor the

vents the weight of wagons from bearing
upon it with two wheels at once and also
gives them better fall.
On hills it is advisable to lay some
s-inch pipes at reasonable distances
apart, dividing up the cutters into short
runs instead Of attempting to give the
mass of water free flow down the entire
hill
A short steep hill needs only a single
pipe placed near the foot Of the hill,
These culverts have one advantage over
all others-namely, a concave bottom,
with a smooth glazed surface, which
allows the water to rush through so
freely that it carries all Instructions be-
fore it and permits no rubbish to choke
up the pipes. These require no further
attention than a slight examination ev-
cry spring to see if the frost has cracked
q joint or the ubiquitous country boy
has taken it upon himself to stop up the
opening by stufing small stones into it.
When carefully built, stone culverts
are not bad. but they are expensive to
make well. and as a rule their sides are
laid up SO carelessly in dry walls of such
small sized stones that they are liable to
upheave and be thrown down by frost
Moreover, the fat stones laid across the
top are often SO badly dressed and fitted
together that the gravel covering them
keeps sitting through the cracks, filling
up the culvert and exposing holes ON
top, which are either chinked up with
cobblestones or left bare until some
horse gets hurt and row is made, with
the only result that more earth is spread
over. and the same process is kept up ad

quick and easy of construction. His
method. delightful in its simplicity, con-
sists in digging trench across the road
and bridging it over with few split
green chestnut rails cut by the roadside,
which are afterward covered with earth
or sod heaped above the level Of the road
in such a manner as to make a disagree
able break.
Besides its liability to become choked
and useless, tlis sort of culvert is par
ticularly Objectionable because it is al
ways neglected and forgotten, being left
to rot until at last some horses foot
crashes through it, and the driver may
consider himself lucky if the animal es.
capes with nothing worse than a slight
wrench or scratch.
During harvest. when it is almost inn
possible to get men to do any continuous
work not connected with farming. to save
time we are sometimes obliged to put in
a temporary box culvert, made of planks
nailed together like long narrow box
open at both ends. These culverts are
slight improvement on the local ones
made from chestnut rails, inasmuch as,
being quite fiat on top, they do not de-
stroy the roads level surface, but unless
care is taken to have them made of oak
en- planks they rot out even more quick
ly than the others.-Harper's.
