CHARITABLE INSTITUTIONS.

No class of people should receive the
pity of their fellow-men more than the
inmates of our charita BILE institutions.
Many of them have been reared in lux
ury, some of them are waits of the
streets and the harvest of our present
economic conditions, yet all of them
are human and born in the likeness of
their Maker Their care and comfort
are a sacred duty imposed upon US by
humanity and all the better elements
of our nature. Some of these inStitu-
lions are filled with these to whom the
sunlight of MONDAY and the darkness
of midnight are the same. Others are
unable to enjoy conversation with their
fellow-beings, and nothing takes the
place of the senses which are most
gratifying to humanity Some of them
are bereft of reason, and struggle
through Authorizations against magma
ry- evils. Some are born into the world be-
reft of reason or sense, and are thrown
upon our pity and charity from
the beginning. I consider it one of the
most essential duties of an executive
and the coordinate branches of the
legislature to see that the best of
who care for them should be kind. at

they are confined are conducive to

to care for themselves, and are placed

GOOD ROAD RULES,
Adopted by the Board of Improvement

AuoPteu Dy the Board or Improvement
 Association, of London.
 The following seventeen rules have been adopted by the Road Improvement association, of London, for the guid- ance of road supervisors:
 l, Never allow hollow, rut or pu dale to remain on a road, but fill 1t up at once with chips from the stone heap.
 ?. Always use chips for patching and for all repairs during the summer sea- son.
 3. Never put fresh stones on the road, if, by osspicking and thorough use of the rake, the surface can be made smooth and kept at the proper strength and section.
 4. Remember that the rake is the most useful tool in your collection and it should be kept close at hand the whole year round. ... r.. .. 5. Do not spread large patches of stone over the whole width of the road but coat the middle or horse track first, and when this has worn in, coat each of the sides in turn.
 6. In moderately dry weather, and on
  face into ridges six inches apart, and remove all large and projecting stones before applying new coating '. Never spread stones more than one stone deep, but add a second layer when the first has worn in if one coat be not enough.
 8. Never shoot stones on the road and crack them where they lie, or smooth surface will be out of the question.
 9. Never put a stone upon the road for repairing purposes that will not freely pass in every direction through two inch ring, and remember that smaller stones should not be used for patching and for all slight repairs. | 10 Recollect that hard stones should | be broken to finer gauge than soft, but l that the two-inch gauge is the largest that should be used under any circum- stances where no steam roller Is em- ployed.
 | Il. Never be without your ring gauge; remember Macadam's advice, that any stone you cannot easily put into your mouth should be broken smaller
 12. Use chips, if possible, for binding newly-laid stones together. and remem- Der that road sweepings, horse drop pings, sods or grass and other rubbish, when used for this purpose, will ruin the best road ever constructed. 13. Remember that water-Worn or rounded stones should never be used upon steep gradients, or they will fail to bind together.
 | IA. Never allow dust or mud to lie on the surface of the roads, for either of those will double the cost of mainte- nance.
 | 15. Recollect that dust becomes mud at the first shower, and that mud forms a wet blanket, which will keep road in filthy condition for weeks at. a time. instead of allowing 1t to dry in a few hours.
 l 16. Remember that the middle of the road should always be a little higher than the sides, so that the rain may run into the side gutters at once.
 1T. Never allow the water tables, gut 1 ters and ditches to clog, but keep them clear the whole year through.
