A COSTLY PAVEMENT.

New York is having as much trouble
with her asphalt pavements as Sa-
vannah. In fact she is having a great
asphalt pavement in repair is much
greater in that city than in this. Still,
ehe means for repairing there are
greater than here.
One of the complaints in New York
is that the authorities cannot get the
asphalt companies to do the repair
work as promptly as it ought to be
done. There are 22s, 900 square yards of
asphalt pavement in that city, and it
takes a lot of time to repair it when
it gets out of order, and it is getting
out of order pretty much all the time,
after a few years wear. AS stated
by the director Of public works of this
city, resurfacing is what is needed
not repairing. after asphalt has been
down a certain number of years.
All Of the asphalt streets in this city
will be in charge of the repair COM
pany within a very short time-that
is, the city will have to pay for the
repairs. 1t has to pay for repairs on
most of them now, and the charge is
a pretty heavy one. 1t is a question
whether it wouldn't be cheaper to have
no repairs done, but to have the
streets resurfaced as soon as they are
worn badly. 1t is fact that when
the asphalt begins to break it needs
repairing pretty nearly all of the time.
No sooner is it mended in one place
than hole appears in another. The
resurfacing has to be done sooner or
later, and repairs before resurfacing
becomes absolutely necessary cost.
probably, nearly as much as resur-
facing.
New York is talking about having
her own repairing plant. She has so
much repairing to do that doubtless
she could keep a large force employed
all the time. But would a repairing
plant result in a saving in this city?
That is a question that is yet to be
determined. If it would not be econ
omy to have such a plant it certainly
would result in better asphalt pave
ments.
1t is doubtful if there would be any
asphalt pavements in this city if we
knew as much about them when they
were laid as we do now, and had as
good opinion of brick pavement as we
now have The brick pavement is
giving satisfaction, and it is probable
that in future most of the new pave
ments will be of brick.

The literary taste of Paris is now
running to prison stories, written by
real prisoners. Recently the memoirs
of Gabrielle Bompard, a murderess,
were published. They took like wild
fire and started the vogue for such
stuff. Now every rascal in Jail for a
heinous crime is writing for the Paris
papers, and lives" and memoirs of
more or less celebrated criminals are
more in evidence than any other single
class of stories.

The Koreans are small people. and
they build small houses. The atten-
ton Of the State Department has been
called to this fact by Minister Allen,
who says that he cannot stand up in
his Office in Seoul with his hat on.
Minister Allen is six feet two inches
tall. and there is only a space of six
feet four inches between floor and
ceiling. The minister wants to be sup
piled with a residence and ONCE in
which he can put on his hat before
he goes out of doors. The request
seems reasonable. 1t is hardly con-
ducive to a mans dignity to have to
stoop every time he goes in or out of
a door and to take his hat off before
he can enter his house.

wet, so came and sat under the fly to
our tent. They each brought hand
full of spears and shields and huddled
together in the cramped space, alter
nately prodding each other or putting
a spear head through the canvas roof.
The storm lasted nearly an hour and
when the first CLEAN of light appeared
all ran with wild shouts to the dusty
track whence we had come, but which
was now rushing river. All the casks
and skins were filed, to the accompani-
ment of weird songs, and then the
ponies, sheep and camels-these last
had had no water for seven days
were brought down to drink"

Archbishop Howley who lived in the
eighteenth century, most unjustly got
the reputation of swearing like a
trooper, says the Chicago News. The
explanation is that the Duke of Cum
berland, who fought the battle Of Gull
loden and who was unspeakably pro-
fame, once went in quest of the Pri-
mate to get his assistance about a
certain bill which he disliked. He re-
turned to the House of Lords, saying,
Its all right, my lords. I've seen
the Archbishop, and he says he'll see
the promoters to - before he'll vote
for the - bill" AS a matter of fact,
all the adjectives had been supplied
quite in the ordinary run of conversa-
ton by the Duke.
