SWAMP HAY PAvEMENTS.
Its Durability Is About to be Tested by
the City nf RaIfimare

Its Durability Is About to be Tested by
the City of Baltimore.
Permission has been granted by the
mayor of Baltimore to lay a sample Of
a new pavement, made of swamp hay,
in order to test it's durability and to
ascertain whether il should be allowed
to compete with asphalt and other paw
ing material.
The material of which the paving
blocks are made is swamp grass, which
grows luxuriantly in the salt marshes
along the Atlantic coast. 1t grows very
compactly and in many places to a
height of six or eight feet. 1t is cut
at any time of the year except when
growing.
Laborers go into the marshes with
large, fiat boats and cut the hay, which
falls into the boat as it is poled slowly
through the water. The material is
then put into bundles and cut up into
the proper length by a machine SINH
lar to the ordinary hay cutter, with
which the boat is provided. 1t is after
ward subjected to moderate pressure
and made into blocks by a machine at
tached to the cutter, about 6 inches
thick by 16 long and 20 wide. These
are then fastened in the shape stated
by wires, very much in the manner as
hay is put up. Before the blocks are
shipped from the factory to their des-
tination they are treated with prep
aration of dead oil" and they are then
ready to lay upon the street.
The cost of putting down the pave
ment complete, including the prepare.
ton of the concrete foundation, Is given
at from $1.4O to $1.70 per square yard
The cost will vary somewhat from sur
rounding conditions, the freight on the
blocks, cost of labor and cost of crushed
stoneand other material for the founda-
ton

ing utilized as storage for hay, grain or
other crops, this loft opening directly
into the second floor of the barn. The
wings may be used for the keeping of
any kind of stock-hens. pigs, calves,
colts or sheep. With such an addition
to barn, not only will the covered
yard, with all its advantages, be Sc
cured, but accommodations will also be
secured that will enable one to have all
the farm stock gathered into one place,
under one roof, virtually. This will be
found great labor-saving arrange
ment, and the covered yard thus Sc
cured will be adjacent to all the stock
quarters, and so at once accessible to all
the stock. A tight board fence could be
built along the front il desired, which
would still further protect the, yard
from wind. At either extremity of this
fence should be a gate, so that farm
team could be driven in on one side,
loaded with manure and driven out on
the other side, thus giving an easy turn.
This addition can be built out TO any
length desired, though il is to be re-
membered that the longer it is, the
darker it will be far within the yard,
matter that will afford no trouble with
a yard of medium size.-N. Y. Tribune.

The mustache, that questionable
adornment of q mans upper lip. is
trembling In the balance. The fashion
able man of the hour who eschews this
time-honored ornament will tell you
that 1t is a crying and unnecessary evil
and is bound to go. And where can one
find better criterion of such momen,
tous subjects than the fashionable man
OF the hour? In years to come the
grandchildren of beardless race may
have to turn to their encyclopedias to
find out what q mustache was. Antici-
pstipg this, says the Cincinnati Enquir-
er. q sort of advance sheet may he found
in the following:
The home of the mustache is in Spain.
After the Moors first invaded the coun-
try the Christian and Moslem popula-
ton became SO mixed that 1t was Diff
cult to say which were Moors and which
were Spaniards.
The Spanish then hit upon a means
by which they could at once distin-
guish their brethren. They did not
shave their lips any longer, and they
allowed tuft of hair to grow below
the mouth. so that their boards formed
the rude outline of cross.
Thus the mustache became q symbol
OF liberty and fraternity.
