LESSON FROM ABROAD.

A correspondent of the Chicago Rec

guarded in Germany. The German
government tries to keep about Is per
cent. of the land in trees. and this re-
suits in beautiful park-like forests, es-
pecially along the hills and mountains
and other rough lands that could not
be agriculturally cultivated.
There is 8 minister of forests in the

captain, his rule extending over sew

INDIVIDUAL TRAINING.
Parents shosId staay the Traits Of
Their Children Separately
and Carefully.

The old Procrustean art OF fitting
everyone to one mold is practiced ex-
tensively in these modern Gays in the
average school. 1t is impossible that
this should be otherwise in the lower
grades of schools, yet from the begin
nlng it is desirable that children
should receive individual training in
order to develop their special capab Bill
ties. A great deal Of time has been
spent in days gone by, and is still spent
iE trying to make lawyers of boys who
develop finally no aptitude. or in trx-
ing to make teachers of girls who ire
possessed Of no possible ability to inn
part knowledge to others.
Mothers are likely to lay out careers
for their children without considering
very much what the natural bent of
the child's mind is, and the result.
though occasionally happy. is more
likely to be disastrous. 1t is by this
means that Edmund Cartwright was
educated a clergyman. and remained
a conspicuous failure until after he
was 40, waiting until then before he
began a career as inventor. 1t was
then that he first saw loom in opera
ticn, and conceived the marvellous in
vention which has revolution.zed the
manufacture Of textiles in this coun-
try. It is the duty of parents, es-
pecially OF the mother, to whom the
home education Of her children is
usually given, and who is brought into
Anv - 10 hor
their minds are developing. to study
them and notice what their individual
tastes are. 1t is not always easy to
discover at once. We are likely to be
governed by our prejudices and our
ambitions in such Investigations, rot
by the actual facts. 1t is always safe
TO predict that heredity will show it
self. The child of generation or two
Of artists will have better eyes, while
the child of musicians will be apt to be
susceptible to ''sweet sounds" but
this does not always mean that their
best ability lies in the direction in
dictated. Children are sometimes well
advanced in years before they exhibit
any very special distinctive tastes.
Some of the best thinkers and workers
in life's field have been those who de-
veloped late. Some of the greatest
failures ultimately have been those
who showed great precocity in ex-
IRENE youth.
The best special training OF all
younger children must be conducted
at home, and the child who receives
only a school training is most un-
fortunate. 1t is not enough that our
children be well fed and well clothed.
They must be guided and trained intel
lcctua!ly as well as morally at home.
The day school alone cannot educate
children any more than the Sunday
school alone can teach them goodness
and truth. The mother is the highest
moral teacher of her children. 1t is
prayer learned at her knee that is re-
membered the longest. 1t is her keen
insight into the character of her chill
dren which should be their guide and
help in choosing the special work
which they will take up in later life

WEIGHT OF ROLLERS
4 Problem Which In Calculated t.
Puzzle and Annoy InexpeFi.
enced Road DuildePs.

There are sections Of the country
which pride themselves on their ma
cadam roads but which fail to con-
do not get the results that should fol-
low such heavy expenditures az they
make. One serious fault is the lack Of
proper rolling, light rollers drawn by
two or four horses being employed.
They cannot compact the stone by
such methods and, consequently. re-
sort to free use Of clay for binding"
purposes. A smooth surface is secured
at the outset, but it soon wears and
ruts, and gets muddy with every storm.
In considering the best weight for
roller the Municipal World states the
case fairly. as follows, "a heavy road
roller is without question an indis-
pensable implement in the construc-
ton of macadam streets. Macadam
roads were, OF course, built before
steam rollers were invented. but crops
were harvested before self-binders
were invented. The effect of roller Ia
road making is as great an advance on
the old results as is the use of the self
binder on the work of the cradle.
There are different kinds and
classes of rollers. The horse roller
weighing six or eight tons, will do fair
~ well If a steam roller cannot be at
forded, but the horse roller is not suf-
ficiently heavy and has to be used
much longer on given section than a
heavy steam roller to produce the best
results. The feet of the horses, in ex-
erting sufficient strength to move the
roller. sink into and disturb the road
metal, and thereby injure the shape
and quality of the roadway. There -
a danger. on the other hand, of having
steam roller which is too heavy. A
very heavy roller will sometimes sink
into loose soil and create mound over
which 1t cannot pass. The same result.
will sometimes occur with an excess
lively heavy roller on layer of loose
stone. The heavy roller is more liable.
too. to injure underground pipes.
catch basins, culverts, bridges, or dis
turb sidewalks.
"For these reasons, a roller exceed
ing ten or twelve tons in weight is fire.
quently not desirable. In districts
where the natural soil is gravelly. or
of stiff clay. heavy roller may gen.
orally be operated successfully. but
some municipalities have made the mis-
take Of purchasing too heavy roller
and have found it necessary to use
light horse roller in consolidating the
subsoil and first layers. Nor il the
stone used in the construction OF
macadam streets is of soft nature. is
a heavy roller. say Of 90 tons. desirable
even in the finishing courses. as the
crushing effect has been found in some
cases to crumble and pulverize the
stone, rather than merely consolidate
1t.
"For new work, in which the dirt
foundation must be rolled. a weight Of
IL tons Is generally the most service
able; but for picking up an old road
way and consolidating it or for fin
ishing a new work, Is tons is better.
Where town owns only one roller it is
generally advisable to consider very
carefully the work to be done before
purchasing roller Of over IL tons
