a SONG OF HOME.

rye wandered north and south:
In many lands I've been.
But one small spot alone ,r
Am I contented in.
And there the roses bloom,
And there the daisies nod.
For home, my humble home.
I thank the gracious God.
The glory Of the east.
The splendor Of the west.
The pomp Of prince and king.
Arc but hollow jest. 80
Give me the sunny stream.
The green and fragrant sod
For home, my happy home.
I thank the kindly God.
The rain upon the roof.
The robin in his tree.
And simple fare and health.
And peace and liberty
What greater boon to ask.
Had I q Merlin's rod?
For home, my pleasant home.

Moreover. at my side.
When singing. full of cheer.
The blessed wife Of youth
With deepest love Ihear.

A FEW years ago an inventor who
had devised new sleeping car took
his plans to Mr.. Pullman. The latter,
after looking over them, said: ''There
is an idea there. will give you $780,

ventor was poor man and he would
not accept the terms. He said that if
the idea was worth $500, 900 to Pullman
it was worth millions to him. The car
was built and proved financial fail

Bricks are good material for pavements
but the manner Of their laying down Is i'm
portant. They should be laid in an aroh
form having the section of true segment
of q circle. 10 the cxtent thoy depart
from this form are they weakened and lose
their power Of resistance. When they aro
laid in this manner they Ill mutually sup.
port each other and the whole pressure is
transferred to tho curb.
But If they wore laid fat zach brick
would stand for itself and their durability
would depend upon their hardness and
toughness. So for fat payelnents they are
not suitable.
Thcro are various forms of circles the
smaller the circle the higher tho arch.
Tho strongest arch Is the semi. circle and
tho pressure Is right down on the but
lnents. But the arch IL too high 10 use for
u pavement. A segment of Il very large
circle and bearing against the curb Is tho
best for pavement but it should be true
segment OF circle. 1t will not cost any
moro to lay it in this way than any other,
but it requires skill and Judgment ON tn
part Of tho bricklnyor. Very fow of our
pavcnents arc Of tho correct form and
many of them depart considerably from it
and the life ofStho pavement Will be short
eho1 Dy that departure.
There Is no need of much preparation
under the pavement, for a true arch will
bear any pressure, short of crushing its
material without anything under It, 1t
would DO we'll II the Top Of tho curbs were
leaned n little towards tho houses so as to
receive the onds Of the bricks fairly.
1t would add;o tho strength Of the struc-
turo If littu go cd mortar were spread

In repairing pavcments, particular care
should bo given TO preserve Tho archrd
