The EXPRESS is under obligations to
DIR. Lamherson for writing the tele-

Mr.. and Mrs. Wassom and sheir
connections have the sympathy ofthe
entire community in the sad misfor-
tune that has befallen them. Nesone

row. Human sympathy can do but
little to soften their grief. May God in

the hour Of their need, and may he not
forget the stricken widow and the
fatherless children.

Dutch tile from Meissen on layer of
cement, mortar or concrete. The street
car companies have to pay the city for
cleaning the pavement between their
rails.
NOT on THE SPECIAL ASSESSMENT PLAN.
Stettin imports her best paving stones
from Sweden, the granite being very
solid and Of fine grain; for sidewalk
plates she has Norwegian granite, which
IS OF Irregular grain, but splits easily.
The streets, being paved with stone
blocks, are suited for both light and
heavy traffic. Every property holder,
says Consul Kellogg, must have his side
walks swept cry morning, and in the
hot summer they must be sprinkled sew
eral times a day.
Nuremberg is paved with stones of the
hardest blue granite. and the city sup
plies all the material for paving, while
the contractors lay it. The city even
owns the place from which the sand
comes. The macadamiZed streets in the
new portion of the city have for toun la
ton, according to Consul Block, a layer
OF six or eight inches of quartzite, a
species OF sandstone, and upon that a
layer of Jura limestone.
In Berlin, as Consul-General Edwards
shows, asphalt pavements are in high
lavor, the system being that Of pouring
I utdLed dSpHd4I pOWUef over the concrete
subbedding and then rolling it. Artificial
asphalts, however, have hitherto usually
| been unsatisfactory, and the same may be
SAID OF wood. American cypress and

suit, and there are now incomplete eX-
periments with beech. The iron pave

one of them uses wooden impregnated
blocks capped with steel on the upper
surface and laid upon concrete under
bedding, and the seams are filed with
btumlnOuS mass" Among the stones
used are those from Norway, Sweden and
Belgium.
Hamburg has nothing to teach us in the
way OF street pavement, except what to
ayOid--at least, that was the condition OF
affairs there at the date reported on.
Frankfort- seems principally
noteworthy for having made a success Of
wood pavements, which have failed in so
many other places. MIR. Lindley, the
chief engineer, Of the five varieties tried
prefers the Kerr pavements, made Of
blocks OF Swedish pine four inches deep,
set in melted coal tar. Apparently, as
COnsul-Genelal Maon says, the wood
pavements are all honestly and well con
structed.
The streets of Magdeburg are uni
/ fOrmly paved with stone. Plauen has a
double system of temporary and perma-
nent streets. For example, the side
walks of the former are gravel, with a
frame of slate-clay slabs, and these give
way in the permanent sidewalk to ce-
ment, granite or burt-clay slabs. Again,
the temporary streets are laid deep
enough to have the permanent put over

pected to maintain all the precision Of
military life, TO say nothing of the lnci-
dental mlserles Of a sea voyage, find
things well calculated to take the glitter
ont OF soldiers life. This episodo of
the service also throws a strong light
on the wide guilt which separates COM
missioned officers and mon il the Eng
hsh army. on troOpship the accOmmo-
dations provided for tile officers are
reasonably comfortable. their quarters
being very much after The pattern Of those

in all, about two regiments--are hud-
died together in q space about as largo as
that allotted to the forty officers. In all
the details OF food, bedding and convent
ences there is absolutely no comparison
at all.
The climax Of trouble in the English
soldiers life, however, is probably
reached III the matter 81 marriage. which
plunges him into worse difficulty than all
other at1lictions. First, marriage is ONLY
allowed to men who have served seven
years and hold at least one good conduct

ColOnePS consent, which is never given
If any excuse can he ,ouud for refusing
it, it being the standing rule to keep the
married roll as small Js possible. Still,
many young soldiers ind wives. lust
like other young men, and accept the in
evltaOle dire poverty, as well as the aI-
most certain separation when ordered ON
foreign service. When this occurs the
poor young wife is left to run the gantlet
OF suffering and want alone as best she
may, the result being the ruin OF the
lives Of both. This it is which makes the
departure OF a troop-ship q scene uf sad
moss which tender-heartcd men should
studiously avoid.
Only in one case Is a soldier married
without leave excused when his regiment
IS ordered abroad, and this happens when
his vile can give evidence that she is
about to become u mother, for which
kindly consideration the men arc in

really gives up his individual righte and
becomes a machine, moved at the whim
of his superior officers. and the more me

is. After the end OF his term OF enlist

The Grandeur of Gettrshurn.

During the four years o f relentless strife,
the North fortunately furnished but one
battlefield. 1t was a great battle. was
Gettysburg; perhaps not the greatest, vet
immense in heroism, in consequence, in
slaughter. The flower of both armies
met there. 1t was battle unconceived,
but born by accident. The first dav an
npremeditated collision, which precipi-
tated general engagement; the second
day, an incident which DESTROYED a
y Northern corps, and mortally wounded a
Southern army; and a torlorn hope upon
the third, which. being, hurled back,
ended an invasion. Upon the Southern
side every musket was emptied at least
once; some j hundred times TpOu the
Northern side all but few brigades had
the same chance. Napoleon, the great
arllierlst, would have wondered at the
precision and incessant roar of the guns
of Hunt and Alexander. Murat would
rather have been Buford with his dis
mounted horsemen on Seminary Ridge
than himself at Marengo and Austerlitz.

Horseshoes ana Other Talismans In

You can scarcely enter a single dress
ing-room without finding the horseshoe
III prominent position, and as the actor
moves to and fro so will he carry this
lucky symbol with him. Mr.. Irving car
ried his horseshoe to America and back.
One WeL-knOWn actor is said to be in
possession of one of Garricll's teeth.
Should he fail to carry it in his waistcoat
pocket he would go about in fear that the
tates would trowh on him and his work.
Scores OF actors wear talismans round
their necks-which, of course, are hidden
from view; but in the matter of stage su-
perstition II will be hard to beat that
which is in vogue at every theater during
the rehearsal OF play, be it new or old.
The last three or four words Of a new pro-
ductiOn are never spoken during the
period OF the rehearsal OF the piece; most
frequently they are never written by the
author The superstition OF the theatrical
world is that it would be certain to bring
bad luck to the piece if the last words
were pronounced on the stage before the
first night. But as the play must have an
end, and it should be known to all pres
ent that 1t is at an end, the actor or actress
interested with the last lines usually in
terpolates word or two. Sometimes it
ends i'll this fashion:
And now, farewell. All is happily
settled. l can now return home and vel
come. Tum-tum- -tiddle-um." Or it may
be tas is frequently the case: I'VE can
now depart hence. my friends, and-have
