Things TO Consider.
THE Esd

Material should be carefully selected,
durability and cheapness when prepared
being first considered; then by using To-
cal stone local labor may be employed,
and so by outlay for stone and labor each
locality will to an extent be benefited III
rectly by the distribution of the none!
cost of the road III such locality.
Every county should own and operap
at least one steam road roller.
Road sweepings, except manure, and
common sand and clay make suitabls
binding material over broken stone.
In making a new road wetting down
or sprinkling has been proven injurious.
Such practice is wise in repair, as then
the binding material is solidifed, while
the water does not penetrate the surface

A PHILOSOPHERS ATTIC.
Quaint Combination Of Greenery and b

Quaint Combination Of Greenery and Hen.
merry Above tho City.
One Of the queerest places in New
York can be found in what looks, from
the street, to be funny little gable
rooted house perched jauntily ON one
corner Of the roof of the Windermere,
on Fifty-seventh street. It is a conserva-
tory and observatory in one, miniature
roof garden, the den Of an attic philos-
opher, Henry s. Goodale, whose some
what celebrated daughters, Elaine and
Dora, evidently got from him their
poetic strain.
The attic is reached by steep nau-
tical fight Of steps leading up through
small square hatchway straight into q
wonderful greenery Of bloom, o snug
gerry Of comfort, likewise q hennery,
consisting Of one fine brown Leghorn
fowl and single fluffy. yellow chick.
and q dovecot, where there are softly
whirring wings It is q charming bit Of
Arcadia, high above the oeaseless roar
and heartbeat Of great city, which
under its potent spell seems unreal and
evanescent, like the undulating, elliptic
nj rings Of smoke that float past the
"attic'' windows. The attic is all win
dows, except the floor, roof and the SIM
pie matched board dado. The little room
is symphony in green the floor is car
peted with dull green denim; the gabled
roof is covered with burlaps Of the same
hue; q green wicker couch is cushioned
in green yachting cloth; broad green
and white striped awning shades the
sunny sides Of the little house; all the
carelessly strewn cushions, though Of
varying designs and materials, are Of
the same general hue, and green figured
denim draperies on slender brass rods
hang ready to exclude the whole outside
world if it is desired.
But it is the window gardens that
give the greatest charm to the place.
Long, deep boxes of country earth and
loan give sustenance to thick, tangled
clumps Of spicy pinks, old fashioned
rose bushes and honeysuckle vines,
clambering over wire network trellises,
which metaphorically kill two birds
with one stone by literally preserving
the birds-that is, the hen and her
chick-from disaster and unfolding the
lacy green drapery Of the vines.
Of course the hen is not allowed the
liberty of this garden in the air, though
she keeps a vigilant and determined eye
out for opportunities to maraud outside
her own domain, which is quite spacious
enough to keep her hale and hearty,
apparently contented with her lot and
graciously disposed in the matter Of
eggs. Dame Attica Hennica-which is
the hens classical name evidently be-
longs to fine old Latin race Of fowls,
and her neighbors, the doves, are on the
most amicable terms. New York Press.
