! GOOD ROADS NOTES.
Of the Road Service.

The function of a pavement or road
surface is very imperfectly under.
stood, even in sections where stone
roads have been in use for long;per-
iods. It is commonly supposed that
a wet spot or bog will become dry if
filled in; that a good read may be
made anywhere, simply BY making
shallow trench of the desired width
and fllingit with stone, and that the
surface of stone road needs to be
protected" from wear by covering it
with loose screenings, sod, earth, or
any old stuff that is handy in hot
weather.
To these erroneous notions are due
many failures to get durability and
satisfaction frora attempts at road
building. The Importance of drain
age is not fully appreciated in most
sections, but it is at the bottom Of
successful road construction, and
neither permanence nor economy is
possible if it is. not amply provided
for. A wet spot must be thoroughly
drained before a road is carried over
it, or it will always be wet, at least in
the wet season, no matter what else is
done to it. Water under aroad bed
is as fatal to the life Of the road as
water in mans lungs is fatal to his
existence.
The not uncommon practice of allow
ing q roadway to be lower than its
sides makes it little better than mere
drain, for water settles on the sur
face, quickly softens it and prepares
it to be cut up by every passing
vehicle. A raised and crowned road
bed which will shed water readily is
essential. A dry base with slightly
arched cover of stone, capable Of
shedding the rain, is requisite for a
dry, permanent structure.
The stone roadway is not only, to
serve as a roof for the natural base
beneath, but is to take the wear Of
traffic, and not to be covered with
other material as 'sprotection" to it.
In places where earth is used for
"binding" purposes, and little regular
attention is paid to the roads and
sprinkling is not done in dry weather,
the road surface breaks up rapidly
under the influence of the sun. It is
then that it has heaped upon it, to
"protect" it, quantities Of fine screen
ings, or earth and stones, and some
times even clay and sod from the gut
ters. The result is a poor road, for
months, unworthy Of the name
"macadam."
If complete drainage is secured at
the outset, the road crowned and sys-
tematically cared for, with sprinkling
in dry weather, and is thoroughly
rolled as laid, without the use Of clay
to bind it, it will perform its functions
satisfactorily and prove valuable in
vestment Of lasting worth.-L. A. W.

While at Camp Alger. Falls Church:

entered into conversation with the pro-

that he had formerly lived in Pennsyl

Inquired the old man.
"From Susquehanna county," was
the reply.

What was your fathers name?' e&
ritcdly cried the old restaurarteur.
"IIis name was John Swackhammer

His SOUL Was Heroio.

It was off the Horn. Waves such as
are encountered only there in all the
world raced irresistibly. The ship Ia
bored nightly through the night. In
q lull the cry, Man overboard"' rang
from stem to sterp. Without hesita'
ton the helmspsan put the wheel
hard up The watch peered over
the sides Of the ship into the foam.
All at once man rushed up-the COM
panionway. He was in his night
clothes. Without waiting q moment,
be leaped the rail, and plunged over
board. There was only death to be
found in the boiling, benumbing
waters. By some witchery Of Nep-
tune, a cross sea tossed the two men
to leeward, and the ship dipped them
up. They were both unconscious, and
the hero had his man clutched by the
hair. Even to the old sailors used to
miracles Of the sea the safety Of the
two was not so great marvel as the
fact that the man had dared to jump
at all; for he was a timid, seasick land
lubber making his first voyage, and his
seeming ccwardice had been the butt
of savaga scorn. How, then, had he
outdared them all in recklessness? He
was asked the question. How could
be do 1t?
He answered simply that he had lain
awake nights planning just what he
would do if he heard the cry, "Man
overboardw It was so hard for him
to overcome his instructive fear Of the
water that he had mentally and sys-.
iematically schooled himself to action.
Thus, while his body cringed, his soul
was beroic. This habit Of mind made
opportunity impossible to pass by.
The intuitive response to his training
swept him over the rail before he knew
where he was.--Century.

Caring For the Irons.

Irons may be made to last for years
and they may be treated in such FASH
ion as to wear out in few months.
The first great secret in their preser-
vation is to keep them from rustlng.
To this end, when not in use, they
should be slowed away in clean, dry
place. If, in spite of this care, Or
more likely, because of some neglect,
they should still become rusty, rub
them thoroughly with lard and bees
wax and then with sandpaper.

From Benjamin Franklin.

When you are sick, what you like best is to be chosen for a medi- cine in the first place; what exper- fence tells you Is best, to be chosen in the second place; what reason q. e., Theory) says is best is to be chosen in the last place. But If you can get Dr. Inclination, pr. Experi- ence and Dr Reason to hold con sultation together, they will give you the best advice that can be taken.
 When you have a bad cold Dr. Inclination would reccomend Cham- berlain's Cough Remedy because it is pleasant to take. Dr. Experience would recommend it because it never fails to effect a speedy and perman- ent cure, Dr. Reason would recom- mend 1t because it is prepared on scientific principles. and acts on na- ture's plan in relieving the lungs, opening the secretions and restoring the system % a natural and healthy condition.
