Now YORK up-rown aoasip.

New York, July 18.-The final victory Of
the allied forces at T1en Tsin may, 1t Is
hoped, go far to simplifying the solution
of the present problem. While 1t may
not be wen to build up too high hopes
REGARDING a change for the better in the
Chinese situation, the information from
that direction seems to be reassuring, II
is to be hoped that the favorable aspect
will be maintained The strength of the
foreign money markets is maintained in

lon showed the strongest tone yesterday,
as is natural after the heavy Withdrawals
of gold from the Bank of England and the
london open market for shipment to
France in the last week or So. CONNER
ciaI considerations appear to dictate the
gold exports from New York, which were

taken in the report of the St Paul rail-
road of its weekly gross returns OF earn-

year with a total decrease from year
ago of not far from II per cent; comp p-L-

high record OF 1899. It is poor comfort
for bear spectators to argue that their
views are correct intrinsically when the

CAN SLEEP NOW
Since Leaving Off Coffee.

Up to five years ago, I had used coffee
all my life. but was finally forced to
give it up on account of the way Il act
ed on me. Right after drinking it I
would be taken with a dizzy headchae
and sour stomach and have to make
a cup of strong tea before could go
about my work
Two years ago. I started on Postum
Food Coffee and since finding how to
make it properly, I would not exchange
1t for the best coffee I ever saw Ny
old troubles have disappeared entirely,
have gained considerable flesh and
what is still better, sleep perfectly at
might, which was not the case while
using coffee
When I first used Postum, my hus-
band complained of it's being tasteless
so tried to use more of it but as that
did not help matters, I tried more boil
2ng, which proved to be the right thing
and now it is delicious" Mrs. W. A

AS the stone comes from the breaker
the pieces will be found TO show con
siderable variety In size, and by many
practical roadmakers II Is regarded as
best that these sizes should be assorted
and separated, since each has It's par.
ticular use. TO do this work by hand
would be troublesome and expensive,
and screens are generally employed for
that purpose. Screens are not abso
lutely necessary. and many roadmak
ers do not use them, but they insure
uniformity In size of pieces. and uni
formity means in many cases superior
wear. smoothneSs and economy. Most
of the screens in common use today
are of the rotary kind. In operating
they are generally so arranged that the
product of the crusher falls directly
into the rotary screen, which revolves
on an inclined axis and empties the
separate pieces into small bins below
the crusher.

She Saved the Boy,

While the Rev. w. J. Davis was liv.
ing in Africa his little son John, q boy
of 1 years. went too near to chained
lion in neighbours yard. 1t was call
ed a pet lion, but was so wild and
vicious that no living thing was safe
within the radius of its beat. The un.
suspectiug child stumbled within its
reach. and the lion instantly felled him
to the ground and set its huge paw on
his head. There was great consterna.
ton among the bystanders, but none
were able to deliver the child.
His governesS, seeing the peril Of the
Child, ran up stairs, seized an accor.
dion and FASTENED TO a window which
looked out upon the lion. There, with
shout TO arrest its attention. she be.
gan playing tune. The lion at once
released its prey, went the length Of its
chain toward its fair charmer and
stood in rapt attention. The boy In

excited every one was; then, quite Out

THE END


The business part of Balzacs literary
life, says q writer in Self Culture. was
not happy. He had many publishers
and did not continue on good terms
with them. This grew out of his meth
DDS of work. His handwriting was the
despair of the printers. and his meth
DDS of handling his proofs was most la
boriOus. He would erase, iuterline. GOV.
er the margins with whole paragraphs
Of fresh material. leaving hardly a
trace OF the original
The second proof was handled sim
llGrly, and such was his desire for per-
lection in his work that he would re-
peat the process eight or ten times be-
fore he would give his order to print.
His writings bear no evidence of haste.
Every page is as highly finished as be
could make 1t. He was his own Sc.
veIest critic. For corrections after the
frst proof he had to pay extra, and his
"Pierrette" cost him 300 francs more
than be received for the story.

Perhaps the first question which the
ro4dIna~tp las to consider Is that con

most Of the states II Europe, the tend
eucy J. TO make the rUadbed a good
deal wider than sound practice die
tatcs. says y. ). SLaler. \ part OF the
badness II our American roads Is gen
orally due 10 the fact that the track
way i far too wide To be effectively
maintained In this. as in many other
OF the -roS>er arts, We may well take
a lesson from the ancient Romans per
haps the earliest skillful ruadmakers
In the world. They invariably built
their roadbeds with 10 more width
than was sufficient TO permit two wag-
unS conveniently 10 pass each other.
In general. the paved portion Of their
ways, even those which were most fire.
uuented, did not exceed II feet In
width They were not indeed much
narrower than those which are com
monty found IN our country districts.
Our American ideas of largeness de
mand a roadbed from IS to 20 feet In
width, h0rdered on either side by a
waste OF land forming useless kind
Of a common and having an aggregate
width Of from - to 80 fet. This sell
wage Of untitled territory. which is Of
ten worse than worthless, because 1t
becomes u nest and nursery Of weeds,
Is frequently maintained beside our
( best constructed ways.
/ The loss Of good arabic land arts
/ ing from the unnecessary width OF
/ the highway and its fringes often
amounts to as much as four acres in
area for the mile in length, and In
some parts OF the country more than /
per cent Of the tIllage value Of the re-
gion is thus, in obedience to an absurd
tradition deprived of all utility.
The nature OF the traffic which Is to
go over highway IS an important ele-
ment in determining both the Width
and character Of the construction. The
main points to be ascertalned are the
number. weight and width OF the car.
riages of all kinds which are to trav
erse the way. II the traffic is likely
to be large, the road will need greater
width and more strength near its mar
gins than where it is to serve the need
of but few vehicles.
