SAND FOUNDATION THE BEST.

What Experience Has Demonstrated in
Other Cities.
The Elkhert Review editorially com
mends the use of sand foundations for
brick paving and publishes with sp
proval the following letter:
TO the editor of the Elkhsrt review:
l noticed in the Review of Friday q
statement credited to q South Bend
contractor in which he says in effect
that it is throwing money away to put
concrete or gravel foundation under a
brick pavement.
l beg permission to say that my ex.
perlence with street paving in Elkhsrt
as chairman OF the street committee
led me to the same conclusion. Let
the street be thoroughly rolled after
excavation and good clean sand foun-
dstiOn will answer every purpose. This
is especially true in Elkhart and in
localities where there is so much sand
on the surface of the ground.
| would go further and exclude
crushed stone. All the money invested
in crushed stone under the brick pave
ments put down under the Kinney con
tract was, in my opinion, so much
money thrown away. Sand makes q
perfectly secure foundation, as can be
shown in many instances, like the ele-
vati0n of the railroad tracks in Chi
cago. 1t has been shown in Elkhart
where pavements were put down on q
stooe foundation. Besides this, it is
inexpensive and comparatively easy to
open pavement made on sandy
foundation in case of any Improvement
or repair work. | came TO this opinion
during the last year was member of
the Elkhart city council, after giving
the subject considerable study, and |
am confident that sand foundation un-
der brick is better than concrete, gravel
or crushed stone. GEO. VINNEDGE,
st. Joseph, Mich, July 90, 1901.

1t Is Jupiter Weather.

Parson Hicks, the weather prophet,
calls our weather Jupiter period and
Gays we must grin and bear it. He
admits that be saw this coming q year
ago, bearing the brand of Jupiter, sum
mer. He says in way of consolation
that it won't occur again soon. One of
his recent manifestations is in part ss
follows:
There is q season for everything
that happens in nature. If this sum.
mer is different from last summer
there must be some explanation for
the change. For the past ten years or
more l have been continually calling
the attention of the public to the fact
that the present year would be phe-
nomenal 10 more ways than one.
have said that there would be great
drouth, and verificstion of the pre-
diction Is found in all parts of the
country. The continent is literally
burning up.

II Made the Tramp Laugh.

The other morning one of the tough
est looking specimens of the genus
tramp ever seen in this city, called at
the residence of Col. Rush, and with
despair writt-n all over his begrimed
and bewhiskered face, meekly asked
the colonel If he had an ancient or
eyed hat with which he would be will
Ing to part, or words to that effect
The colonel's better half is away and
he did not know exactly where to go
to find his assortment of old hats, but
after rummaglng about the house he
resurrected shining "tils' that was
about twelve years and nine months
out cf date, and with this In his hand
ne hurried to the door and rendered the
plug to the weary Coxeyite.
Ii is the business of tramp when on
begging expedition TO carry face
which will convince anyone on sight
that he's the last of the family and is
alone and friendless in the world.
When this fellow saw the headgear
that was proffered to him, he was com
pletely overcome with mirth and his
loud hs ha. could be heard all over the
neighborhood.
When the fellow recovered his speech
he said: "My dear man, that hat
would be no use to me. | could not
wear that and ride in horse car Pull
mans or associate with men of my
Standing The colonel insisted that
1t was the very thing for him and
assured him that he would at once
take rank as the "king of the push" if
he would take the silk tile and wear it..
But this fellow was no Happy Hooligan
and went away feeling better than he
had for years, perhaps, ss the result of
good hearty laugh. lie WAS profuse
in his thanks over the unusual mani
festation of generosity. but the hat still
remains 10 the possession of the colonel.
