EhAOK LAID L. THE FIRST
HALF OE 1895.

When 1894 ended with record OF
only ,94s miles of new railway added
in the United States-the smallest
annual increase of mileage in thirty
years-there was no reason to expect
rapid revival OF railway building on
large scale, although thore we're
hundreds OF projects in various etages
of growth for which more favorable
times wero awaited. Thus far in 1895
there has not been much greater nc
tivity exhibited in the actual work of
grading and tracklaying than in the
corresponding tperiod last year, but
tho fignres presented by tho Railway
Age OF tho 10Th instant show that the
general business situation has greatly
improved and with 1t has come en-.
couragement to those interested in the
extension of transportation facilities
which is likely to result in making the
new mileage of the year considerably
greater than that of 1894.
The figures show Gil miles of track
laid on CO lines in the first half of
1898, against 525 miles on 81 lines in
the same period 10 1894, LOIS miles on
% lines in 1893 and 1867 miles on 90
lines in 1892. The downward move
ment in railway construction, from the
top notch of nearly $4,000 miles in
1857 to leas than 1000 miles in 1891,
has evidently ceased and q slow.upwerd
turn may be expected. From work
now in sight it looks as if the new track
added in 1896 wculd aggregate ., 500
miles. with possibility OF something
moro il times continue to improve
rapidly.
Most OF the construction now going
on Is for branches aud extensions of
existing roads. and while the results of
railway operation in the last few venrs
have been the reverse of encouraging
to investors there will always continue
to be further expansion of this kind in
hope of increased revenue.

"A HINT TO ROAD COMMISSION
Frs.
A NEW AND VERY EFFECTIVE METHOD FOR
KEEPING ROADS IN REPAIR.
From the st. Albans Messenger.1

From the st. Adams Messenger.l
Mr.. Sanford, in his practical talk on
road-making at the East Berkshire farm
ers' meeting, detailed method pursued
by himself the past year, that appeared
to possess a good deal of merit as well as
originality.
Having charge of the roads in his
town, he concluded to try an experiment
In keeping in repair a line of six miles
duridg the season. For this work he
selected man who could be depended
upon to carry out his purpose.
The man furnished a horse and board
ed himself, the employers cart and tools.
For this he was to have 50. 90 day.
He was to pay strict attention to his
work and not listen to or be influenced
by what Others might have to say about
what he was doing or the manner of
doing it.
He was to go over one mile of the road
each day of the week, and follow this up
during the season, except few weeks
in haying, when, on Saturdays, he was to
/ pass over the entire six miles, to see that
all was in order.
He commenced his work early in the
season and his first business was to drain
the water from the ruts and mud holes
and fill the worst OF these places as far
as the time would permit. The next
week he followed up the work and contin-
ued to do 80 until it was mpleted-that
is, all the bad places were filled. This
was done with as good material as could
be found for the purpose.
No attention was paid to raising the
road, the work was simply to keep the
surface in the best of repair that coulC
be done by the method pursued.
At the end of each day he retraced the
mile on which he had worked to see tina
all was right.
The result of this experiment was
eminently success, as this line of roa(
was kept in much better repair and a
less expense than had been the case il
previous years under the Management
then pursued. The cost of this wOrl
was S250,55, or S4l.75 per mile.
The principal reasons for this success
were that the man who did the work at
tended to it faithfully and at a time wheI
it would do the most good.
All loose stones were promptly re
moved, the water kept from doing dam
age as far as could be, and any littl
break IN a sluce or bad place in the roa,
repaired at once. before there was
chance for casualty or serious hindranc
to travel.
1t is the want of this prompt attention
to our roads that causes SO much los
and Inconvenience to towns and the pub
lie, so this experience is given with tn
thought and hope that it may be foun
worthy of attention and perhaps follow
ed out, at least in part, in the work o
the future.

OBITUARY..
MRS. ELLA (HlLD HOWE

In the death of Mrs. Ella (IIil) Howl
the home, church, choir. Sabbath schooN
and community have lost bright light,
radiant with Christian cheer. peace and
good will to all. Older and younger, rich
and poor alike knew and felt the warm
rays of Christian kindness that were al
ways beaming from her upon others. In
her home was the choice expression of
her life as the affectionate wife and
daughter, but in social circles her life
was charm because she gave TO them
her kind recognition. So sudden was
her departure from us we have not got
ten over the shock; and years may go
by, but we cannot forget that benevo-
lent smile that always greeted us. She
thus held us all by the strong cords of
endearing love and grace. So she lived
TO be loved and missed all the while.
And with the Rock of Ages" as her
avowed resting place, and of which she
sang in her last days, she has but gone
home to carry out IN all perfection in
song and life all the eternal years what
Christ meant and was to her, the present
and eternal refuge and redeemer-the
crock of ages" cleft tor her.
"With Us her name shall live
Through long succeeding years.
Embamed with all our hearts can give,
our praises and our tears" Il.

BABl'S GONE TO SLEEP.
There's Il pair of little hands
Laid to rest forever more,
There's two pearly dimpled checks
Whose rich blossoming is DER.
Death has sealed two little eyes
That will no more smile or weep,
Tiny windows of the soul;
Little baby's gone to sleep.
Angels bore him softly home,
So for him we may not weep,
Softly to the doorway come.
Little baOy's gone to sleep;
He has only gone to sleep.
