Mo1Assgs. GRASS AND prNs.

1T has been our duty and our pleasure
to take part in the honest, the impair
tial, the intelligent, the instructive, the
spirited and the public-spfrited discus
sion concerning street pavements which
has been going on in this city. We
have not declared in favor of vitrified
brick, sheet asphalt or block asphalt,
because we have not really known
which will wear the longest with the
least expense. Those who do know have
freely given the public the benefit of
| their knowledge, and the public is we
hope, properly appreciative and CRATE
| full. 1t has been our humble but useful
part to call attention to the merits of
pavements which have not been promi-
nent1y mentioned by those who have de-
voted their lives and their sacred honor
| to the study and the advocacy of vitri-
fed brick, sheet asphalt or block as
phalt. OF course We do not expect that
| pavements of grass or molasses will he
| laid down in all the streets, but we do
| hope that when the makers of other
ipavements all get busy there may be a
street or two paved with either grass or
| molasses. AS it is the fashion to pro-
| duce testimonials concerning the use
| fitness of pavements we hereby produce
| a testimonial concerning the usefulness
of the molasses pavement. 1t comes
| from Chino, in San Bernadino county,
California. The molasses is procured
for next to nothing from a sugar-mak-
| ing establishment in the town. 1t is
| thickened with sand and then spread
as asphalt is spread for an asphalt
pavement. The composition dries quick
| ly and in a, short time becomes perma-
nently hard. Instead of softening it,
exposure to the sun only makes it dryer
and harder. 1t is said to wear exceed
ingly well, and the children do not eat
it. 1t has also stood one very severe ex-
detrimental test. A block Of the compo-
sition two feet long, a foot wide and
one inch thick, laid with an inch or so
of its edges resting on supports, neither

ed heavy blows from a machine ham

NUHRER ONE.

Defender doesn't seem quite as appro-
pirate a name as it did before Satur-
day. Then everybody was expecting
an attack from the British yacht that
would have to be strenuously resisted
and greatly struggled against. But the
Defender didn't do much defending
She speedily became the Offender and
the British boat took the place of de-
fender.
1t appears to be the general opinion of
the wise ones that the weather of Sat
urday was more favorable for the Brit
ish boat than for the American. If this
is so the great contest appears to be as
good as settled. Eight minutes and
nineteen seconds is a great deal of time
when every second counts, and if the
weather was what the Valkyrie wanted
she was badly beaten, and it doesn't
look as if she were likely to win three
out of the five trials If she should be
so unfortunate as not to win even one
the affair would be decidedly monoto-
nous.
The American Eagle is a proud bird
now. He is holding in out of polite
ness to his visitors and because he
wants to be sure to avoid premature
screaming. But if his yacht does as he
now thinks it will in the other trials
he will let out a scream that will be
heard wherever England's famous
drum beat is heard. And even the
English can't and won't blame him,
strident and discordant as the sound
will seem to their disguised ears.

see the great merits of the grass pave
ment. Good reports continue to come
from Philadelphia concerning the grass
pavement in use there. And 1t is no
ticeable that the same argument that
the New Haven advocates of vitrifed
brick are using is good for grass also,
There is great deal of grass around
New Haven, and by it's use for paving
material local industry would be great
ly encouraged and there might in time
be a trolley line clear out to the center
of Montowese.
But we shall not obstinately insist on
either molasses or grass for the paving
of all those streets which the vitrided
brick men, the sheet asphalt men or
the block asphalt men don't get. If
there is anything better let us have it..
1t may be well to pave one street with
pins. Pin pavement is in use right over
in Seymour, where the whole city gov
eminent could go and see it for less
money than it will cost to send a few
of the governors out West. Mark
Lounsbury is the inventor of the pin
pavement. He is at the head of a pin
factory and we read; Recently he haul
ed away several tons of defective pins
and made them into a sidewalk in front
of his house. He expects as soon as
these useful implements rust and are
pounded down to have the finest pave
ment in this country" And very likely
he will. 1t appears that vitrified brick,
sheet asphalt, block asphalt, molasses
and grass all make the finest pavement
in the country, and it is therefore rea-
sonable to suppose that pins will do the
same And if defective pins win make
the finest pavement in the world what
a glorious pavement pins that are not
defective would make. Perhaps even
the inhabitants of West Chapel street
wouldn't rise in protest against a pave
ment composed of good pins.

Tt is announced that the plans for the
Reading subway system in Philadelphia
are now nearly completed, but that the
work of excavation and construction
will probably not begin before next
spring. The undertaking is one of the
greatest in the way of municipal inn
lprovement that Philadelphia has had to
face. The expense will be enormous,
but the benefits will be correspondingly
great. The Reading railroad, with its
many grade crossings, practically di-
vtdes the city into two parts, and makes
the traffic from one side to the other
inconvenent and more or less danger
ous Property along the railroad line is
deprecated in value, except in the COM
paratively few cases where the position
of the railroad affords commercial adj
vantages to manufacturers and mer-
chants. The subway is designed to re-
move every grade crossing from the
east side of Broad street to the park,
and to depress the tracks from the pres
ent surface level into an open cut from
Broad street to Twentieth, and thence
into a tunnel which shall pass under
the congested portion of the city for a
| distance of more than a half mile to
| Twenty-f1fth street. The expense of
| this improvement will be divided be-
! tween the city and the railroad, the lat
ter assuming half the obligation and the
city advancing the money. lit is believ-
ed that the expense to the city will be
fully reimbursed by the increased prop
| erty valuations which the changes will
| bring about.

English clergymen's salaries are not
as high as is commonly believed. In
Crockford's clerical directory for this
year statements of the actual value of
1886 benefices out of 1928 in England
are given. OF these 63S are worth $500
year or less, 2,74S more $1,000 or less,
4,219 less than $4,000 1872 less than
$4,000, 173 less than $4,000, As only $1,000
or less, and % more than $1,000, being
above $500 and but / of these above
$4,000. The nominal value in the case
of the other 1907 benifices is for nearly
5000 less than 81, 500, and for thousand
more less than 81, 500 In addition to his
income, however, the incumbent has the

A curious result of the patronage of
restaurants by people who think to
solve the servant question that way
has been the theme of anxious COM
ment in London. 1t appears that this
custom of living in cheap hotels at the
seaside during the summer and dining
in London restaurants during the win
ter has been taken advantage of by the
restauranteurs and the hotel keepers,
who have raised their prices, so as to
seriously affect their patrons purses.

of precious stones are represented,
many Of them being such admirable re-

deceive the eye of anybody not an ex-

from Idar, in Switzerland. which is the
great market of the world for imitation
