always hushed and low; her quiet. grace
full manner, her soothing words. He liked
her to pet him, TO indulge him; to sit,
hour after hour, telling him tales that re-
minded him of his mother-he knew not
why or how; stories of great men and
brave deeds, true heroism, and grand
self-devotion. Those quiet hours in the
summer cleaning, with the lonely lady
whom he was growing to love so dearly,
did more toward forming Rupcrt's charac-
ter than all the hours of study.
He went there one day when Lady Rca-
trice had been very unkind 10 him. Lord
Selwyn was away, and she had refused
to allow Rupert to play With little Lance,
or even to see him-refused hi.a with
words that. if repeated. lost all their sting;
yet the look that accompanied them was
bitter as death.
1t was not often that Lady Beatrice
made Rupert wince--hc was very patient
under her scornful dislike: hut on this
day hot tears rose to his eyes and blinded
him. Thc trace of the tears was quite
perccptiblc on his face when he reached
the cottage. The contrast between those
two women was SO great; the one indulg-
ed. caressed. and half-worshiped him; the
other was cold. proud and disdainful.
Little by little Mrs. Rivers drew from him
the story of his wrongs each word stab
bling her with deadly pain.
Then some days passed and she did not
see him. The sumnlcr was drawing to q
close; the leaves We're beginning to fall

and he was sent away. Perhaps Lord
Selwyn had changed his mind, and had
sent him to school. She thought of a
hundred different things. She woke up in
the night. fancying she heard the quick
gallop of the chestnut pony. then went to
sleep with IL prayer on her lips.
Still the days passed on, and he did
not come. She stood one day AT the Win

nothing of him she would summon ur

FOUNDATIONS MADE OF DIRT.
Compressed Earth Takes the Place of
Stone and Mortar.

Compressed Earth Takes the Place of
Stone and Mortar.
The subject of doing away entirely
with tone and mortar foundations is
being discussed by French engineers.
compressed earth taking the place of
these. The method is the conception
of Louis Dulac.
1t is we'll known that, when a stake
is driven into the ground. a compress
sion of the surrounding soil takes
place. equal in volume to that dis
placed by the stake. In the method
of Mr.. Dulac an apparatus like a pile
driver is erected, but instead of the
ordinary hammer-head ram, a heavy
cone is allowed to drop. point down, in
such a amer that it makes a hole,
the size and depth of which depend
upon the diameter of the cone and
the height from which it has fallen.
The cone generally used is from
twenty-four to thirty inches in diam
eter, weighing about 5000 pounds, says
an article translated for the Engineer
ing Magazine. and it is dropped from a
height of thirty to forty feet. With a
drop of this sort a hole equal in diam
eter to that of the cone and twenty to
thirty feet deep may he made in a few
hours, the time and depth depending,
of course. upon the nature of the soil.
The whole area upon which the struc-
ture is to be erected is thus treated, the
holes being five to six feet apart be-
tween centers and the result is the
compression of the soil between the
holes to an extent governed by the iii
ameter and distance between them.
After the holes have thus heen made
they are gradually filled with a con
crete made of broken stone OF cinder
and hydraulic lime and cement. The
concrete is thrown in shallow layers
and pounded by allowing a spherical
weight of about 1000 pounds to drop
from about the same height as that
from which the con was dropped. The
effect of this procedure is to drive the
more liquid portion of the concrete into
the walls of the pits and thus. when the
latter are filed and the concrete has
become hard. the foundation consists
not only of the buried pillars of stone
and cement. but also of the compressed
earth partly charged with cement.
This method of making foundations
has been used with much success in
various portions of Paris, some of the
locations being considered very diff
ticult, owing to the soft nature of the
soil, and the system is now being used
to prepare the ground for the erection
o fsome of the buildings for the, expo
| sition of 1900.
The effect of the pounding of the
earth Is said moi to extend to sufficient
distance to disturb adjacent structures
and in a number of cases the method
has been used in the immediate vicin-
fty of old and weak buildings without
. apparent injury.
1t is possible that this system Of COM
preston may be of service in many To-
cations where the load is not too great,
and 1t appears to be of especial applica-
bility to foundations for temporary
structures. avoiding the necessity Of
much digging.

THE NEW TEACHER.

NCHOOL District No. 10, over in
,>McComb County, had the reputa-
~ ton of being a very rough place
for a young teacher, and no place at all
for an old one.
1t is a curious fact that any kind of
a teacher can get along in some dis
tricts. The people are so kind; the chill
dren so apt and gentle; the schoolhouse
so cosy and we'll furnished, and the sal
airy paid so promptly and graciously,
that teachers are never changed unless
they marry or go into some other bust
ness.
I regret to say that model school dis
tricts are by no means in the majority;
they are not nearly so plentiful as good
teachers, for often all the success of n
school depends largely on the hearty
cooperation Of the parents.
