The statement, published last week, that the past
session was the first in it's history in which the Beth
Ahaba Sunday school had proved more than selfsus-
tanning, was erroneous. Some years ago, under the

of a previous term were discharged ard a new organ

congregation board for an appropriation.

GROWTH OF FINGER NAILS.

In Il particular the growth OF the
nails and hair and beard are governed
by the same law-that of growing o
rapidly in summer than in winter.
Comparing the same fingers on the
different hands, it will be found hat
the nails on the left hand fingers re
quire about so days longer TO renew
than those of the right hand.
The finger nails of the human species
grow more rapidly in children than il
adults, and the growth is slowest with
the aged. Both in childhood and age
they grow faster in summer than in
winter. In one instance a nail that re
Guired 1872 days to renew in winter, re-
newed in summer il exactly 1l6 days.
One popularity of the growth of fin
ger nails is hat the period of renewal
differs proPortionately with the length
of the fingers. Thus tbs more rapid u
the middle fingers than any other. In
the fingers on either side of the middle
finger the period of renewal is about
equal and slower. 1t is even more slow
in the little finger, and is the slowest of
all in the thumb.

six cantons are grouped together and
their cartonniers form a brigade, one
OF whom is made chief, and has a short
er stretch to are for in order that he
may oversee the others. If a piece OF
road absolutely requires it, one or more
laborers, called auXiliarIes, are given
a c~antonnier TO aid him.
Besides overseeing their roacs the
conductors give all orders to the chief
cantonniers, examine their work and
report on their conduct and make writ
ten reports to the engineers twice each
month. They keep the accounts OF
their divisions and report on petitions
or new projects. They are obliged to
do all their travelling on foot, examine
into the smallest details and give the
necessary explanations and directions
to the ~cantonniers.
The canton of the chief ~cantonnier
must be the best kept of the brigade,
in order to show his superiority over
the other men. These men are nomi-
rated by the project of the department
according to certain conditions: They
must be between p and 40 years old;
suffer from no infirmity that inter
feres with daily labor; have previous
experience in work shops appertain'
ing to their work or have worked on
the roads in some capacity: possess s
certificate of good conduct and be able
to read and write.
The cantonniers must remain on the
roads from sunrise to shutdown in win
ter, and from five a. m. to seven p. m. ir
summer. They are allowed to build
shelters or have movable shelters in
which they can seek refuge during
storms. but they cannot absent them
selves from the roads. Each n has
IN account book and a register anG
keeps n daily accoun of his work and
the time occupied in each task. At the
end of each month the conductor
recapitulates the account and sends il
TO the engineer.
In this way the roads are never with
out the most careful attention, and eX
pensive and annoying repairs are rem
dcred unnecessary.

FRENCH REPAIR SYSTEM.
Asoad Work In Thoroughly System
affixed and Carried On Under
Intelligent Supervision,

Before MacAdam's time it was
thought Necessary to construct stone
roads with a foundation of large stones;
The small, broken stone was then spread
ever them, and traffic was depended on
to consolidate them into a smooth and
hard roadway. Moreover, in France
upright, PrOtruding stones were placed
at the edges of the foundation, IN order
to enclose the smaller stone. These
roads were often two feet deep and yet
they wore badly into ruts. When the
holes We're filed, travel avoided the re-
paired spots and new ruts were formed.
MacAdam did away with the large
stone foundation. and showed that
small material. properly laid and COM
Pacted, would distribute the pressure
equally on the real road beneath and
also serve to effectually shed the water
which fell upon it. The new system
was economical and simple, but had
