The annual nuisance Of dumping big
stones and little stones on our public
streets under the pretence OF repairing
them, is now ia full swing in this city.
This sort of "repair renders that part
Of the street upon which the stones are
dumped practically unusable for about
six months, and by the time those who
are compelled TO drive over the broken
stones 90 the detrment OF horses and
wagons) have worn them down 10 some
thing like decent condition, it is time
for another batch Of stones To be put on.
Such method of making The roads is
behind The age. IL is expensive, unsatis
factory and absurd. Practically, the
stones are thrown on the streets and the
teams make the roads by driving over
them and crushing the stones.
For town road nothing that has as
yet been used is so good, and at the same
time cheap, as vitrified bricks. They can
be laid for only little more than il costs
our city to make these poor country turn
pike roads (they are not even Macadam
roads, and after they are laid they re-
quire but little if any repairs for eight or
ten years. Besides, they can be taken up
for relaying gas and water pipes without
destroying the perfectness of the paving.
Added to this, they are comparatively
noiseess and free from dust.
When the cost OF the stone crusber, the
expense of repairs TO it, the cost Of stone
and crushing it, and the expense of
making the roads and keeping Them in
repair are taken into account, there is no
question that the vitrified brick pavement
is cheaper, as it is infinitely better. than
the SO called Macadamizcd streets of our
city.

THE BATTLE.

After tho battlc-pcacc! But for some men
The battle lasts till death; all efforts lead
In these to grief and bitterness; and when
Onconqucrcd, though they fall and faint and
bleed
Their souls are mcttlcd for some backcr strife.
They struggle bravcly for an inch of life
These are tho haplcss oncs-or so we deem
Our brothers who must either fight or die
Yet lie that ever swan an angry stream
And reached firm shore knows more than you

II we are joyous in unrufilcd days
That hope which grows from grief and struggle
stays.
They arc not hapless. In their heart of hearts
They know the deepest faith that life can give.
Their living is no playing of old parts
In the wide wisdom of the gods they live,
For they have conquered where tho millions
fail
Their ship of life Is stronger for the gale.
