OIL on Road Surfaces.

Reports on recent and successful ex
periments in improving road surfaces
by sprinkling them with oil increase
the surprise at the unsatisfactory ter
mination recently of like experiments
on the roadways in Boston's parks.
These good reports come from Cali
fornia and Florida. In the former
State Supervisors of Los Angeles
County recently examined several sec
tons which had been sprinkled with
oil, and found them in excellent con-
dition. A mile stretch at A1hambra,
sprinkled once year ago, had no
dust, and riding over it is described
as ''like riding on rubber" In Florida
the experiments were in Duval County,
where roads made of shell rock had
been greatly damaged by heavy travel,
which ground the surface fine, the
wind blowing it away. A section of
new road of Volusia shell at Jackson
Vile was sprinkled with oil six weeks
ago. At first there was noticeable
odor, but this soon passed away. The
surface was united in solid mass,
| which became more compact with
| travel; the road was smooth and
| crowned, and rain and moisture did
not penetrate, but ran off, forming nc
mud. Sun heat had no effect on it,
aud where the oil was applied less
thickly the surface was slightly grouna
up, but remained on top without blow
ing away. It is now proposed to cover
one mile of road with oil, at cost O

Englishman pricked up his ears and
remarked that he had made Il study of

replied that he was very positive his

brought over to America and exhibited

Two hustling advertising agents are
trying their utmost to buy all the
available space on each side of the
Reading railway, from Philadelphia to
Norristown. in order to display the
merits of their numerous wares. Be-
ing backed by plenty OF capital, they
are enabled to offer tempting sums for
the spaces desired. Farmers owning
ground along the line are only too glad
to get their old fences torn down and
have high ones erected in their stead.
They also receive handsome sum per
foot from the agents for the privilege
OF the advertisement The agent makes
mp the cost in width by the heigh, of
the fence, which is sometimes twenty
feet. 1t is apparently the purpose OF
the advertisers to have all the pretty
landscape shut from the view OF the
passengers and instead to offer them
a continuous panorama Of patent med

Sulphur and Treacle For Restlessness.
confirmed restlessness'' is one of
the new maladies of school life. It
has shown itself unmistakably at the
great scholastic institution at Han
well. and has led large numbers of
the urchins there to receive a Gaming
or other punishment as cure for it.
The homeopathic method of treating
restlessness of body with restlessness
of rod aroused the wrath of a clerical
member of the Central London School
District Committee, who declared that
such a system of pathology was
worthy of the darkness of the middle
ages. Restlessness was due to the
spring weather, and he suggested that
instead Of birching them, they should
be dosed with sulphur and treacle. If
that did not give them repose, little
paregoric might be tried. Another
member declared that the dire disease
had manifested itself among his col
leagues Oh the occasion of several
meetings of late, upon which the
clerical obiector declared, amid much
! amusement. that he would have no
hesitation in recommending the birch
to gentlemen who showed pronounc ed
symptoms of the mhlady. It was
ultimately left to the schoolmaster to
soothe the boys in the way he thought
best.-London Telegraph.
