measurements we indicate the center
| line by driving Il row of spikes or iron
bolts about 25 feet apart. The distance
| apart of these bolts had better be uni
| form, so that they can be easily found
| by measuring from one to another. The
spikes or bolts should be driven down
little below the surface, so as to avoid
The chance of stumbling by horses. AS
the work progresses we can set up wood
en- stakes for temporary use at the points
where these irons are driven in the
ground. We now lay OF the width of
| the macadam roadway proper by meas
| uring half this width from the center
stakes or bolts i'll each direction toward
| the sides and drive line of side stakes,
say 25 feet apart, along on either side Of
| the proposed macadam roadway. These
| two lines will fix the outer sides of the
excavation.
The depth of the excavation will de-
pend, of course, on the thickness Of the
| macadam material to be used. If this
| thickness is to be six inches, and if we'll
| constructed this will be sufficient for all
| ordinary country roads, the excavation
should be six inches deep below the
grade line of the finished surface. This
| rule is not absolute, but is sufficiently
| accurate for all ordinary purposes. If
the ground is moderately firm, the sides
of the excavation should be nearly per-
pendicular and the bottom of the oXca-
walton should have slight downward
slope from center to Sides corresponding
| in some degree with the slope of the fin
ished roadway. This will be about one
half inch fall to each foot in width of
the roadway. If the earth is of a soft,
| sandy, yielding nature, the broken stone
of the macadam roadway will be easily
ground off at the edge Of i,lr excavation
and pressed into the soft earth by the
| wheels of passing wagons, .iud to pre-
vent this it will be best to cXcavate
along the outer edge to a somewhat
greater depth than six inches, and i'll
this manner form shallow trench i'll
| which can be placed line of field stone
| or powders to sustain the road metal in
place and prevent its becoming pressed

Some people deplore the use of foam
ing preparations in soda water, claiming
that such additions are totally uncalled
for and unwarranted, but it must never
theless be conceded that soda foam can
bring forward several valid arguments
in its own favor. In the first place, it
aids greatly in keeping the gas from es-
Gaping too rapidly from the tumbler. In
the second place, it undoubtedly adds
greatly to the dispensers profits, for it is
claimed that by adding two ounces of
foaming preparation to a gallon Of sirup
the Confectioner can draw so more glasses
than without the foam.
Thirdly, we must remember that the
appearance of any article of food or
drink plays fully as important part as
its taste in increasing the appetite and
stimulating the gastric secretions, and
when we bear all these facts in mind we
shall be inclined to look upon the snowy
foam with moro leniency. And, indeed,
however we may look at it, there is no
denying the fact that it has come to stay,
and to stay probably for considerable
period of time, so we must make the best
we can of the matter.-Thomas War
wick in Confcctioners' journal.

How He Works Out His Road Tax.

The road hand arrives ut the appoint
ed place, where the road work is to be-
gin, at any time from to 10 clock in
the morning. He is equipped with an
apology for wedding hoe perhaps,
which he uses vigorously for a few min
utes, pulling loose csrth out of the
bitches and placing it upon the road, to
be speedily carried back by the next
rain. He then rests two or three times
as long as he has worked, discussing
public and other questions, takes two
hours at noon and goes home early in
the afternoon, having done about three
or four hours work during the whole
day. -ProfCsSo" 0. Fl. Sheffield

Where Styles In Hats Rarely Change.

DR.. Doran tells us that the Natal
'fashionables' wear hats foot high in
height, made of the fat of oxen. They
first gradually anoint the head with Il
pure grease. which. mixing with the
hair, fastens the hat on during the life
time of the wearer. The MyantstS make
hat of board - inches by G. They
place it on their heads. draw the lair
over it and seal it with wax. They CEN
not lie down without keeping their nocks
straight, and when they comb their h&ir,
which they do once or twice a year. they
have to spend considerable time in melt
ing the wax before they can get their
hats off.-Philadelphia Ledger.

The distress of the farmer has been
described ever and over again in SO many
ways that strong opinion has grown up
that the filler of the soil has been left far
behind in the struggle for comfort and
c1ntidrnce The Hon ]. Sterling Morton,
secretary OF agriculture. takes occasion, in
the June humber of the Forum, to show
that this is tallacy. Seventy per cent of
the farms in tue United States are unin-
numbered 10y any Indebtedness; their
owners are still the home builders aud
home lovers OF the land. as their class has
always been, and Mr. Morton points out
how, as In preceding generations, nearly
all Of our presidents were called from their
farms to executive duties, ana conse-
quently the farmer represented the better
element OF our hfe-so now also, the far
mer is the most i dependent and pros
porous of all the large classes of our peo-
pie He explains the growth of the story
of their distress by showing that a few
farmers have left their burrows to follow
the false prophets of politics. 1t is the
and not a farmer at all, that has done all
this evil. Mr. Morton goes over the whole
ground to show the relative Importance
and Indep ndenco of the agricultural class,
and their influence on the community Mt

THE strong facial resemblance which
married couples often acquire after living

NOUS in thought and feeling and subject

been commented upon. The Photographic
society of Geneva recently took the pic
lures of seventy-eight couples for an in
vestigation of this subject. The result
was that in twenty-four the resemblance
of the personal appearance of the husband
and wife was greater than that of broth r

great. and in only two was there total
