WElL-ouARDED MATCHES.
Wrinkle Of Concert Nall Walters 10 Remind Guests

The matcbless man who looks about

remembrance that this plan has been
adopted. No end OF officious rubbing OF
a table. solicitous questioning or inn

much toward impressing the walters $

appealing TO him for a match. The
walters have most absolute control OF

might forget all about drinking and be
satisfied with the music. Roof garden
walters as well as those in the music
halls guard the matches with a close
ness not encountered anywhere else.
The sufferings OF a roof garden waiter
under the continued abstinence of a
party seated at one of his tables are a
pitiable sight TO any but the most hard
ened spectators. IL is such situations
that lead the walters to cling TO the
privilege of retaining the matches and
TO insist as a condition OF their en-
ployment that no means Of getting a

CARVED HIS OWN MONUMENT.
Virginia Sculptor Erects Statues Of
Himself and Wife Before
Death.

Two unique monuments tower high
above the other testimonials to the dead
in lakewood cemetery, Richmond, Va.
They were erected to himself and wife
| by James Motherhood, of that city. Mr..
| Netherwood was the greatest monu-
| ment builder in the south. After hav-
ing erected the Jackson monument, the
| Lee monument, the soldiers and sail
ors' monument and the A. 2. Hill and
Howitzer monuments he erected the
| stately monument for himself.
There is a little story connected with
the monument which now marks the
place where his body lies in lakewood.
MIR. NetherwOod was great admirer
of Virginia graninte as a medium
through which to immortalize heroes
| and other celebrities. When the SOL
diers' and sailors monument was erect
ed he was a strong advocate of using
Virginia granite for the soldiers figure
IN the top. The committee on design
disagreed with him. They thought that
bronze would be much more suitable
and would be capable of a more grace
rul mold. The Virginia granite was
rejected and the bronze decided upon.
Mr.. Netherwood went to work and
rad statue of himself carved in Vir-
ginia granite. This he set up at his
place of business, and, seeing that it
| showed up well, he decided to have it
mounted on tall shaft and placed at
| the spot where he would be buried.
| This was done, and the monument is
now one of the ornaments of lakewood.
1t is thirty feet four inches high and oc-
rupies one of the most commanding po-
sitions in the cemetery. The base and
pedestal are nine feet and the column
l3, and the figure, which is good like
ness of Mr.. Netherwood, is six feet four
inches.
Some time after Mr.. Netherwood
erected the monument to himself he put
up one to his wife, who is still living.
She was Miss Nancy Ramsley, and has
40 children. The monument erected to
aer is about IL feet high. The pedestal
| IS about six feet four inches and sus-
tains the figure of woman clothed in
Grecian robes and is about five feet
eight inches in height. The monument
o his wife is Immediately to the right
If that erected to himself and is of a
rather striking design. = Chicago

WASHING ASPHALT.
the Slime and Harden
the Road.

Bicyclists who have ridden much on
the asphalt streets of German cities say
that the tendency to ''side-slip" is there
pavements in this country. The expla-
nation of this fact may possibly lie in
the statement which is made by the
American consul at Breslau that the
asphalt streets in that city are regular
ly washed, the purpose of the washing
being to remove the slime which the
asphalt seems to leave and to keep the
street from being slippery. The wash
ing has the further effect of preserving
and hardening the asphalt. The care
taken of the asphalt by the city author
tiles contrasts strongly with the meth
DDS adopted in the United States. For
instance, the space in front of the con-
sulate is divided into four squares
which are in charge of one man. After
cleaning the street early in the morn
ing he wheels out borrow load of very
fine, sharp sand and scatters it lightly
over the streets to prevent slipping.
Rainy days the process is repeated
several times. Once a week the whole
street is sluiced and thoroughly washed
with sprinkling carts. These are fol-
lowed by ample roller brushes, which
sweep the water and slime into the gut
ter, whence it is carted away. After
this the man who has charge of the
streets comes along with his wheel
barrow and sand sprinkler. In spring
or autumn, when the streets are often
sloppy and wet, the washing is done
several times during the week. The
man in charge of an asphalt pavement
is paid five cents an hour, the ordinary
street hands receiving four cents. No
body filters up the street or puts sweep
ings on the pavement. There is box
kept for these. Wire baskets are fast
ened on lamp posts, against houses.
fences or trees, in which the public may
throw waste paper while walking along.
The citizens are very proud of their
clean and understanding streets, and
the householders have to sweep to the
center of the street in front of their
sidewalks every morning before six
o'clock. The litter is piled up, and soon
the city teams cart it away.-Boston
