A Novel Experiment,

A novel experiment is being made
at Martha's Vineyard by the Massa-
chusetts Highway Commission. In
macadamizing the roads at that place
it has been found that the ballast
stone would not stay in position in
the sandy foundations, for the sand
constantly worked to the top, while
the stones were lost in the depths of
the sand. Gravel was tried for
foundation, with fairly good success.
but it was costly and scarce. Cheap
cotton cloth was then tried with good
results, as it seems, apparently, to be
the material needed. 1t is found that
the sand does not work up through
the stone, and that much less stone Is
required. Layers of tarred paper
were tried before the cloth, but it was
found that the stone pressed through
it. A small section only of the road
has been experimental upon thus
far, but if it continues to be as sue
cessful as at present the experiment
will be carried still further. Paving

To Preserye the Hail.

"What'll you have on your hair,
sir?" interrogated barber to the man
in the chair. Nothing at all? Not
even water? Well, do you know that
you are one man in fifty? The other
forty-nine want decoction of some
sort to make their hair lay smoothly
and shine nicely. To tell the truth,
though" F" he continued, in a conhden-
tIal tone, sit would be great deal
better for their hair if they also per-
sisted in having their locks combed
dry. Nature has placed little oil
sac at the root of each hair, the duty
of which is to supply the hair with
natural oil, and make it smooth and
supple. The use of water, bay rum,
oil and other hair dressings takes the
place of this natural oil, and the sacs
soon wither from disuse. And so,
unless the use of dressings is con-
tinued, the hair is liable to grow hard
and stiff. would advise every one to
discontinue the use of all hair dress
ing, and have the hair combed dry.
About three weeks of dry brushing
will reopen the oil sacs, and there
after the natural oil will do the work
thoroughly. No, sir, wouldn't adj
wise any one to wet the hair in comb
ing it. Bad practice. Next. New

Detective Ability.

A some what ghassly but quite suc-
cessful bit of elucidation is credited
to NJ. Bertillon, the anthropometrist.
On his back, in bed, a man was found
the other morning, shot dead through
the mouth. The revolver was still in
his hand. There were doubts, how
ever. whether it was a case of suicide,
after all. For one thing, deceased
had never been known to possess re-
volver. OF course, he might have
bought one for the occasion. 1t was
advisable to try to ascertain this, and
it was NJ. Bertillon who hit upon the
way. He had the corpse taken out of
bed, dressed it himself in deceased's
clothes, and set it in deceased's Gus
tomary attitude in his usual chair.
The coiffure was as it used to be, and
the hue of life was brought back to
the face as nearly as stage paints could
make it. Then the revival was photo
graphed, and the photograph was sent
to every gunsmith in Paris. One of
them recognized a person who had
bought a revolver two days before,
and this witness identified the weapon.

A Widows Vow.

An English parish clerk, seeing a
woman in the churchyard with bun
die and watering can, followed her,
curious to know what her intentions
might be, and discovered that she was
II widow of a few months standing.
Inquiring what she was going to do
with the watering pot, she informed
him that she had been obtaining some
grass seed to SOW on her husbands s
grave, and had brought a little water
to make it spring up quickly. The
clerk told her there was no occasion
to trouble; the grave would be green
in good time. "AhI that may be, "
she replied, "but my poor husband
made me take a vow not to marry
again until the grass had grown over
his grave, and, having had a good Of
fer, do not wish to break my vow,
or keep as l am longer than can
help. New York Sun.

The Age of Trees.

Much speculation has been in.
dulged in as to the length of time
during which trees of particular kinds
may live; but anything like an abso-
lutely accurate estimate is obviously
impossible. Approximation to exact
knowledge is all that can be obtained.
Such an approximation, however, is
interesting, and here it is. The cedar
has been known to live 1000 years,
the cypress 800, the elm 800, the ivy
335, the larch 575, the lime 100, the
maple SIG, the oak 1900, the olive
800, the orange $50, the spruce 1900.
the walnut 900 and the yew 5000. 1t
is not unreasonable to suppose that
some OF the giants of the Yosemite
Valley are older than any cf those
given, their years being almost, if not
quite, equal to those of the period
since the food, according to common
chronology. The existing cedars of
Lebanon are supposed to be contem-
poraneous of those cut down by Solo
mon for the building of the Temple.
Doubtless there are trees to be seen
in every primeval forest as old as the
Christian era, and some, perhaps, that
antedate the Pyramids of Egypt.
While we look with undisguised awe
and wonder upon the ancient monu-
ments of civilization, we fail to real
ize that we may have almost every
day within our view, IN the shape of
an aged oak or towering pine, yet
living and vigorous witness of the
far-off morning of the world. New

UNFAITHFUL

II man could rule his love Of change would
mar
The purple dignity that wraps the hills;
Pluck out from the blue sky some perfect
star,
And set it elsewhere, as his fancy wills.
Train the gnarled apple tree more straightly
up:
Lift violet head, so long and meekly bowed;
With some new odor MI her purple cup,
And gild the rosy fringes Of a cloud.
For mark last year loved the violet best,
And tied her tender coiors in my hair;
To-day / wear on my ineonstant breast
A crimson rose, and count her Just as fair.
We are unfaithful. Only God is true
To hold secure the landmarks Of the past,
To paint year after year the harebell blue.
And in thesame sweet mold its shape to cast.
Oh, steadfast Nature, let rs learn of thee
Thou canst create a new flower az thy WILL
And yet through all the years canst faithful
be
To the sweet pattern of a daffodil.

Five Acres OF Minterkreen.

Wintergreen Island, situated oppo-
site Essex, Conn, was in past years
considered as profitable Il fve-acre
tract OF land rs the town contained,
owing to It's producing immense guam
titles OF wlntergreen. This land was
heavily covered with pine trees which
shaded the vines. The berries were
so plentiful that many bushels were
gathered every year aud were taken
by agents, who shipped them to Bos,
ton and other cities. But their end
came when the trees were cut down.
The harvest was from the middle OF
November until the snow covered the
ground. Birch has taken the place o (
wintergreen, and the section abounds
with birch oil distilleries. The dit-
ference between birch oil AMI winter
green oil is very slight, and thoustu Is
of gallons of the former are sold every
year for wintergreen extract. New

Kleptomania is the polite term for
common stealing when the thief has
money or social position, remarks the
San Francisco Chronicle. The latest
instance of this vice of the period
comes from Paris, where a rich old
collector of curios looted the Louvre
and stole many valuable art relics.
If these kleptomanics were treated
like ordinary thieves we should hear
of them less frequently. Because a
man has no Incentive to theft except
cupidity is sufficient reason why he
should be more severely punished than
one who steals from necessity.
