If the doctor is called before the dis
ease is far advanced, the treatment is
usually satisfactory. 1t consists es-
sentially in a change of diet, some
times even change to artificial food,
If the child has hitherto been nursed
exclusively; but this change is some
thing that needs careful study, since 1t
will have peculiarities of its own in
almost every case. The addition Of
some fruit Juice especially that of or
anges, lines or grapes, to the new diet
is generally of great value, and some
times will effect q cure without other
notifications of the previous diet.

A correspondent of the Arctic (R.
I. Times says that eight inches of
stone sis just about half what it ought
to be- for a good road, and quotes in
support of that Wow the description of
nine-inch macadam road from the
l.. A. w. Bulletin of August 10Th.
Apparently, however, he fails to notice
the reasons why that particular road
proved a failure. According to the
report, sort of trench was made, a
lot of stone dumped in, some earth
spread over it, a roller put on, and
the result called macadam road.
Such work is a mere travesty. A
road made in such q way would be as
low or lower than the earth on its
sides; water could not run off its sur
face, and it would work in beneath
the stones. No drainage was provided
for. Neither was the earth bed COM
pressed or shaped before the stones
were laid. Some spots are naturally
softer than others and soon yield,
allowing the roadway to become de-
pressed in places. This should be
anticipated and provided for by a
preliminary rolling. Furthermore,
good results could not he expected
from attempting to compress nine
inches of stone at one rolling. The
broken stone should have been put
down in two layers and each one
thoroughly wetted and rolled; then,
if anything moro was needed, some
stone screenings should have been
laid on top, wetted and rolled in.
Each binder inevitably causes a
rutty surface, and mud appears with
every rain.
1t is quite possible to build q thor
oughly good road with nine inches of
stone, and much less is being used in
some places. The advocates of thin
stone roads claim that six inches will
give perfectly satisfactory results, and
in some cases even as little as four
inches. Within reasonable limits it is
not so much the mere thickness Of
stone that ensures good highway as
it is provision for ample drainage and
then providing roadbed which will
be perfectly compact, and, finally, in
shutting a system of constant super
vision and repair, FL. A. w. Bulletin.

German Invention Which Is an I'M
provement on Hardwood.
The newest floor is Of paper, and is
of German importation. The paper ia
imported in dusty, powdery form,
and is then mixed with q kind of CO.
ment which gives substance to the i'm
palpable stuff and a plaster-like ap-
floor is laid, the absence Of joints and
seams like those of the hardwood floors
is distinct improvement, and with
out the inconvenience of catching dirt.
The paste Of which the floor is COM
posed is laid on and then rolled out
with heavy roller, specially adapted
for the purpose, something like the
street roller for asphale. The floor
when smooth, hard and dry is either
stained or painted to match or contrast
with the woodwork of the room, wal
nut, cherry, or mahogany stain giving
it an appearance like the natural wood.
While there are many advantages to
this paper floor, one Of expense not
being inconsiderable, disadvantage to
the sensitive is its pliable feel to the
feet, for no matter how hard it is roll
ed it has always an unnatural sensa-
ton to one who walks over it.-New

The Missionary's Little Joker.

A native Maori chieftain, the de-
scendant of cannibal kings, is now COM
pleting his medical education in Chi
cago. Cannibalism ended in his tribe,
he says, when Bishop Selwyn converted
his grandfather; but he tells some stor-
les Of it which have distinctly humor-
rous flavor. For instance: 1t is said
that once chief captured missionary
who was anything but a toothsome
morsel, as he was old and thin and
looked as if his flesh would be tough
The missionary warned the chief that
he would not make a good dinner, and
pulling up his trousers, cut slice off
the calf of his leg and offered it to the
chief. The chief tasted it, said he
didn't like it, and passed it to sub
chief. The sub tasted it, made wry
lace, and passed it on. The next man
who took bite of it spat it out. The
missionary was released. after he had
gone 1t was discovered that he wore a
cork leg.

from balloon minus a parachute.

with enough wet towels wrapped
around his head TO make a turban for
the mahdi. His wife met him with
reproaches in her eyes, but she did not
scold him. She wanted to inform him
of his conduct the night before, how
ever.

man, but the fumes of many cocktails
taken the night before somewhat cloud

than he knows what to do with. About
two years ago a swarm of bees took
possession of an old frame house on his
