A Fable with Two Morals.

Two young men once started in life
with equal prospects. One of them had
q yearning to see the world. but the
other had no desire TO stray far from
home. He said his native township
was good enough for him.
The man who wanted to see things
started out. and after many years and
much travelling, during which he had
looked upon most of the wonders of
the globe, he was arrested one day rs
q tramp, and because he had neither
money nor friends he was "sent up"
as a common vagrant.
The man who said home was good
enough for him sat around most Of the
time and played checkers with old peo-
pie who had nothing else to do He
never went to n circus or the county
fair for fear some villain of the deep
est dye might pick his pockets. and he
wouldn't haul his crops to market be-
cause he thought 1t was more than
likely that he would be cheated If he
did.
The farm he worked was very poor.
but he wouldn't move from 1t to a bet
ter one because he said he was used to
il and might not get along well In new
surroundings. At last he quit putting
a waste Of good seed. and one day the
overseers took him to the pocrhouse

DISCOVERED BY ACCIDENT.
How the Paving Value of Asphalt
Was Brought to Notice.

All forms of bituminous payements.
whether manufactured from natural or
artificial asphalt, are in fact artificial
stone pavements. The industry started
with the use of the natural rock as
phalt from the mines in the VA De
Travers, Canton Neufchatel, Switzer-
land. The mines We're discovered IN
1921, but it was 1S49 that its utility as
a road covering was first noticed. The
rock was then being mined for the
purpose of extracting the bitumen CON
tanned in 1t for use in medicine and
arts. 1t is n limestone found impreg-
mated with bitumen, of which it yields
on analysis from s to II per cent.
1t was observed that pieces of rock
which fell from the wagon were crush
ed by the weight Of wheels. and under
the combined influence of the traffic
and heat of the sun a good road surface
was produced A macadam road of as
phalt rock was then made which gave
very good results, and finally in 1854
n portion Of the Rue Bergere was laid
in Paris of compressed asphalt on #
concrete foundation. In 1858 a still
larger sample was laid, and from thar
time it has been laid year by year in
Paris. From Paris it extended to Lon
don. being laid on Threadneedle street
in 1869 and Cheapside in 1870 and in
successive years on other streets.-Mu-
