With nimble flying feet,

IT seems to be impossible to beat into
the intelligence of the average Sacra-
mento contractor that when road specih-
cations call for macadamizing, earthly
matter must not be used. Here we have
a street Superintendent actually consent
ing that contrsctor-if the latter is to be
believed-may use fine earthly, ciayey
matter in the surfacing Of the new Tenth
street macadam, under specifications
calling for stone OF given size. No
wonder that property-owners protest,
and that the Trustees find it necessary to
peremptorily order the Superintendent
to see to it that the specifications are
complied with. The RECoRD-UNIoN
does not assume to set up az an expert.
but this it does know, that earthly matter
/ in new macadam serves to keep apart the
units of the road metal and to lead water
downward to the substructure, and that
the result always is in such cases the in
! Jury ii not the ruin OF the macadam. The
!
that the units bind by pressure, the fiat
surfaces seeking each other under the
pressure of the roller or the rammer, and
! thus an arched roof, 30 to speak, is formed
! that under slight use sheds water and
! protects the whole structure. But i.
/ would seem that there are people-and
unfortunately for Sacramento there are
! some of them In official station-who cam
not understand this and insist that two
/ stones can be stuck together in a street
/ surface by q bit of mud. Really, we
need a street road engineer to superin-
tend stree. construction. His employ
ment would be money in pocket for tax
payers.

TAKING HOLIDAYS.
The Family Should Not All Go
Together.

The Family Should Not All Go
Together.
1t may be we'll asked, do those who
go for holiday set about it in the major
ity of cases in the right way ?' and the
answer in general is No" First OF all
comes the family conclave assem- bled 10
decide upon the important question of
where to go, which generally ends In the
selection of some place favored by the
younger male member of the family.
And here we may point out that when
people live together all the year round 1t
is the greatest mistake for them to al
tempt TO take holiday together. The
true holiday implies much more than 60
ing away from home: it means rest,
change OF company, being taken out OF
oneself-this last item is perhaps the
most valuable of all. We will suppose,
then. that the holiday-maker has settled
the matter to his or her satisfaction and
has started with a friend. Let him be-
ware of the other great mistake so con-
stantly committed-that of trying to do
too much. 70 rush from one town to
another. to ''do" the Ardennes, Cologne,
the Rhine, Nuremburg, perhaps Bayre-
nth, Styria, and more or less of Italy In
six weeks is not a holiday but penance,
and yet there are those who do this and
think that thereby they are laying up a
store of health for their return to work.
The true holiday consists. not in doing
nothing, but in having nothing to dot
is the sense OF freedom, the feeling that
one can go on or stop, whichever is most
convenient. Trains and the catching of
them, the baleful superstition that "ob-
jects Of interest" must be visited and in
spected, the hurrying from one hotel to
another, all these mar the rest which is
sought.
Then, too, there is the question of
climate. w are convinced that the gen.
eral rule which IS followed of going south
for the winter-unless. indeed, Egypt or
some similar place is selected-is wrong.
The countries to go to in winter are those
where winter is reality, and where
means are and can be taken to meet it.
Russia, Norway and Sweden are seen at
their best in winter, and the beauty OF a
northern winter night is inconceivable
to those who have not seen it, while the
dry, MINDLESS, cold atmosphere braces
every tissue of the body, and If the cold
begins to be felt too much the houses are
really warm, and warm throughout
Compare this with shivering day on the
! Riviera, where the art of keeping houses
warm is unknown. The same argument
! will apply to summer. II a warm coun-
try is selected, the house, the food and the
style of clothing will be found in keep
ing In the variable climate with which
we are favored we can neither prepare
| for winters like the last nor summers like
that of 1893, but, at least, when we can go
| to a country blessed with climatic regu-
| larity, let US visit at the most favorable
! time The true holiday, then. is not
such an easy matter TO obtain as it seems

any description or size that may attempt a
landing at the smaller ports; ana further that
all local boards of health in the State be ad-
yised to urge the cleansing of towns and viii
lagos, the putting of all sewers in q sanitary
condition, the annlhllation of all odors from
animal or vegetable decomposition, the
cleansing of water-closets and privies, and
especially the cleansing and flushing Of clos
cts and privies at railroad stations and fer
in considerable numbers; and that the people
be instructed to boil the water for drinking
purposes and to eat nothing but recently
cooked food.
This should be needed, not tomorrow.
nor next day, but now. Of course, it
will cost money. some thousands Of dol
lars, to each community. but it will be
well expended. Cholera will cost great
deal more. 1t will paralyze all trade ex-
cept that of the undertakers. It will sus-
pend all industries except that of the
coffin-makers and grave-diggers. 1t will
make more widows and orphans than
charity can care for. It will put back the
State ten years, and erect barricade at
our gates over which tourists will not
pass for years. No matter what it costs,
it will pay richly and well to keep out
the cholera by the wise precautions the
Board of Health advises.

THE Chinese are playing double in this
matter Of atoning for the outrages on the
missionaries. This was to have been ex.
pec.ed. 1t is now reported that the
prisoners under recent arrest have been
set free; that rebellion has broken out
in the Fo Kien province. and that the
lives of all foreigners are in danger, be-
cause the Chinese officials are not only
unable to protect them. but are really in
sympathy with the rioters. The thing to

spicuous for their folly among this class are
the people who persistentiy dose themselves
with violent drugs, which either have a ten
dency to aggravate the complaints they are
claimed to cure. or else to cause most per-
nicious disturbance OF the system. Among
intelligent physicians the use of drastic" or
violent medicines has passed away with other
fallacieS like blistering and bleeding. The
Doctor Sangrados are an extinct race, happily
for mankind. Hostetter's Stomach Bitters is

THE time is approaching when the con-
tracts for street lighting are to be entered
into. Heretofore we have had system
that provided for extinction Of street
lights four nights before and four nights
after the full moon. True, there was a
provision that if needful the streets
should be lighted within that space of
time. By this it was meant, of course,
that if night was cloudy or stormy
within the non-lighting time, neverthe-
less the street lights should be turned on.
But as matter of fact that arrangement
has not been success. 1t leaves some
thing to somebody's judgment, and that
wrong, and the people stumble through
dark streets at the very time when light
is most needed. There should be no more
of this. A city that has won SO much
credit for an electrical carnival cannot
afford to indulge in corporation moon
shine. 1t will cost little more to burn the
street lights every night, but it will be
the cheaper to the people in the long run.
What the new contracts to be adopted
ought to contain should be provision for
street lighting all night, and every night
in the year. Even in brightest moon
light the space beneath the heavy foliage
of the lines of trees is pitch dark without
the intersection lights burning. These
intersection lamps hang low enough to
shed light under foliage lines for whole
block, and are therefore the very best for
city with shaded streets. Were our
street lights on poles of considerable
| hight, it would make far less difference
whether the lamps burn or not when
there is bright moonlight. But the safe
thing TO do is to contract for all-night
| lights, for every night in the year.
Plentiful light is protection to the
homes of the city; it gives to citizens re-
turning home at night feeling of Sc
curity; it puts the footpad at disad-
vantage and handicaps the burglar; it is
an aid TO the police force. and to those
using teams, as well as to pedestrians, it
is a great convenience and aid.
