To Make TeIfOrd Road.

In making tclford road the surface
for the foundation is prepared in the
same manner as for a macadam road.
A layer of broken stone is then placed
on tho rOadhcd from five to eight inch
eS In depth. depending upon the thick
ness to he given the finished road. AS
rule this foundation should form
about twO-thrds of the total thickness
OF the material. The stone used for
the first layer may vary in thickness
from = ~ 4 inches and in length from
s to - inches. The thickness of the up
per edges of the stones should not eX-
ccrd four inches. They are set by
hand on their broadcast edges length
wise across the road. breaking joints
as much as possible. All projecting
points are then broken off and the in
terSticcs or cracks filled with stone
chips and the whole structure wcdGed
and consolidated into solid and com
plrtc pavement. Upon this pavement
layers OF broken stones are spread and
treated in the same way as for mae
adam road.

BUILDING A STONE ROAD
How to Properly Construct n Modern

Ordinarily we find that stone broken

eight inches in depth is sufficient for
all practical purposes. says +. &. llar-

the stone construction.
The first course is four inches in
depth. This is put on uniformly and
the roller passed over it a few times to
bring the pieces of stone together as
nearly as possible. thus lcsscning the
voidS. The vOids are then filled with
ground stone from the cruSher by plaC

the PARTICLES down into the foundation
is serviccable. but water ought not to
be put on in quantities SO great that it
will run through the stone and soften
the foundation.
The rolling should be repeated until
the mass becomes consolidated tOgcth-
er, and if it is left for awhile for the
action of the air and sunshine it will
take set and become hard. This

How to Make Pumpkin Pies.

Here is recipe for pumpkin pie Civ
en- by the head pastry cook of one Of
the most famous hotels in the United
States:
Take one quart of well stewcd pump
kin strained through sieve, add half
a pound of sugar, two ounces of melted
butter, nine eggs, half an ounce of
ground ginger, Onc-quarter of an ounce
OF ground cinnamon, One-eighth of an
ounce of ground Cloves half tea
spoonful of grated nutmeg, a pinch OF
salt and tablespoonful of molasscs;
mix and beat well together; add a pint
and half of milk. This will make a
filling for two large pies. Bake in n
moderate oven.

the whole product of the crushcr can

The second course is of stone not

Too much shade is damaging to a
road. while Il little shade is no injury.
Trees ought to be at least 80 or 60 feet
apart to allow the air and sunshine to
dry the roads after rains. When the
leaves fall, they should be removed by
sweeping or raking them up when they
are dry and burning them. This is
very important and should not in any
case be neglected, as the leaves retain
moisture which in time will soften the
surface OF the rOadbed and cause it to
become rutty, work up into dirt and
cause certain amount of mud as n
result.

HOURGLASSES.
They Have Not Gone out of style by
Long Shot.

a Long ShOt.
Most people think that hourglasses
went out of style years ago" said
clerk in n Twenty-thIrd street store,
"alJng with perukes and knee breccheS,
but as Il matter of fact we have more
calls for them today than we have had
at any time within the last ten years.

Grafton | am not prepared to say, but
il such a renaissance were to become
assured it would be no more SurpriS-
ing than some Of the other recent fads
based on revival of lost customs.
Anyway a brief study of the hourglaSs
will do nobody harm. There are thou
sands in this generation who have not
the slightest idea what an hourglaSS
looks like and it wont hurt them to
broaden their education n little along
certain lines.
"Of the hourglaSScS sold at present
the three minute glass is in the lead.
This glass is used almost exclusively to
measure time in boiling eggs, and its
usefulness naturally places its sales a
little in advance OF the more senti-
mental varieties. Next come the five,
ten and fifteen minute and full hour
glasses. which are bought chiefly by
musicians for piano practice and by
lodges and secret societies.
"The sand used in an hourglasS is the
very finest that the world affords. The
western coast of Italy furnishes most
of it, as it has done for ages past. The
cost of hourglaSscs is regulated by the
ornamcntntion of the frames. \ glass
set in a plain rosewood case can be
bought for 81, while n mahogany frame
comes to Sl.J0 or 50. OF co :Sc, the
price can be brought up still higher by
fancy carving and decoration. Swell

About 300 years ago small embroid-
cred rugs were largely made in Per-
sia. chiefly at lspahan. These were
prayer rugs. and on each Of them near
one end was a small embroidered mark
to show where the bit OF sacred earth
from Mecca was to be placed. In
obedience to n law of the Koran, that
the head must be bowed to the ground
in prayer, this was touched by the
forehead when the prostration was
made. and so the letter of the law was
carried out. The custom still prevails.
The Persian women who weave the
finest prayer rugs seldom weave any
