For elderly ladies the hair is worn as

ravages of age, but the most ordinary
manner is to see it waved from the part

fastened under braid or knot. Dainty
caps of black and white lace are set

BINDING ROAD METAL.
How to Secure the Best Results In Solidi-
flying Broken Stone.

How to Secure the Best Results In Solidi-
flying Broken Stone.
After the necessary excavation to con-
tain the road metal has been completed,
the broken stone should be spread broad
cast with shovels to insure thorough
mixing of the various sized pieces and
raked until the layer is of the proper
thickness. For roadway 10 feet wide
it will be best to make the thickness of
the layer about two inches thicker at the
center of the roadway than at the ex-
treme edges, because tho wear will be
most excessive at the center and the ex-
ira thickness will not only provide for
this, but will also serve to give the fin
ished roadway proper crown, and thus
insure good drainage
If the final thickness of the compacted
roadway is to be 4 inches, one layer will
be sufficient, and when put on loosely
from the carts it should be about inches
thick at the center and about 5 inches
thick Mt the sides. If the final thickness

Chinese visiting Cards 900 Years Ago

Chinese Visiting Cards 900 Years Ago.
The Chinese. who seem to have known
most of our new ideas, used visiting
cards 1000 years ago, but their cards
were very large, and not really the pro-
totypes of our visiting cards, as they
were on soft paper and tied with rib
bon. Venice seems to havo been the
first city in Europe to use cards. Some
dating from the latter part of the six
teenth century are preserved in a mu-
scum there. The German cities fol-
lowed the Venetian custom in 100 years
or SO, then London followed suit-ac-
tually followed suit, for the first visit
ing cards in Great Britain were play
ing cards, OF parts of such cards. bear

about 1900. We donot know when they
were first used i'll this country, probably

very sharp points, which fell in

pearancc. There was n wide white MORE
sash draped around tho waist and Der

edges. The gloves were long white
mousquetaires. and the sleeves reached
but to the elbows. Tho entire dress was

think the girls grow lovelier than
ever with the pretty ways they have of
dressing and fixing their hair. One late
fancy is to part it exactly in the middle
and crepe it up full over the temples, and
then bring the ends up to Topped knot
held by an heirloom in the way of high
comb. The Greek style, with the fillcts,
always proves becoming to some, and in
these days few there be who do not un-
derstand themselves, and no considera-
tion for the traditions of antiquity would
induce them to leave off an aigret, if it
proved becoming, which they had set
their hearts on affixng to the front of
the classical fllet.
There is another fashion which is de.
signed to make a young girl attractive
that is. to have her tresses rolled back
over cushion and fastened in a loose
puff at the back with velvet pansy and
bit of ribbon bow. The combing of
the crimped hair over puffs and puff
combs is bound to become fad. 1t is

The trcasurer's salary will remain
