Successful NIacada,n.

The main points in successful mac
adam road building are U, that the
foundation be properly constructed
and drained; (2) that the surface Of the
road be slightly curved SO as to shed
water, and 81 that the surface of the
finished road be made lard and smooth
and as nearly waterproof as possible.
The last Of these qualities is secured
by spreading on the stone in layers, be-
ginning with "a layer Of the largest
fragments and finishing with layer
of very fine crushed stone with which
some sand is often incorporated. Zach
layer is we'll compacted with a he;vy
roller. -. s .. S-..-
Although the expense of buildius'
macadam roads is trifling compared
with that of constructing stone paved
road like that Of the Roman Emperor,
Appius Claudius, it is still so great as
to form the principal obstacle to mac
adamizing modern highways. The
cost, of course, depends largely on the
ease with which suitable stone may be
secured. Where the material has to
be transported by rail for consider
BILE distance the cost is greatly in"
creased. Some Of the Massachusetts,
highways have cost $4,000 to $4,000 a
mile, while in some other States good
macaGam roads have been built for
$500 TO $4,000 4 mile.

Not Like uiA Mother.

Life tells good story Of the small
son of a certain university professor.
whose parents are deservedly popular
for their tact and courteous *Heoch.
The yourgster appeared Ut the home
of a fellow professor and hesita tinG'y
asked Mrs. if he might look at
the parlor rug. Permission was, OF
course, granted, and Mrs. ---- felt
some surprise to see the little fellow
stoop over the rug and stare silently
for some half-minhte. He straight
ened himself up, and, meeting her
wondering expression, said triumph
eutly. 1t doesn't make NE sictS."

Resisting Power.

When physician is called to a case
of severe illness, the first thing that ne
estimates is the resisting power of the pa
tient. The chances for his recovery are
in proportion to his vitality. If there De

hope of overcoming the disease. The re-

surroundings sap ones resisting power, so
that when viruient allment makes an
attack one has strength insufficient to
fight it off.
You see that it is not so much the ma

itv Of the man that determines the re-
suit. Just so it is also IN the moral word.
There are some persons living lives so up
right. so spiritually healthy, that they are
practically immune from temptation. ana
wnen they are overcome, they soon o!s-
cover themselves, Tor their power o. rIsis-

CALIFORNIA LIONS KILL DEER.
Method of Hunting Much Like That OF
Bio Cats in. Africa or India.

Mcthoc OF HUnI!nS RuCn Like mat VI
Big Cats in. Africa or India.
More deer are killed every year in
California by mountain lions than by
the bullets of the hunters. Next to
the jaguar, our mountain lion is the
largest cat in the two Americas, and
he is the champion deer slayer Of the
world. Within thirty or forty miles
of Los Angeles he catches the fleet
footed, graceful creatures, and wakes
fat on the sweet flesh. He knows no
deer season other than all the time.
Whenever there is good deer cuun.
try in this or any other southwestern
state there also is the best place to
look for lions, and that is one Of the
reasons why the large herds Of deer
are restless, seldom staying long in
one locality. There is nothing they
fear more than the sight or smell Of a
mountain lion. Not even the sudden
appearance of a hunter will so quick
ly drive them from range Of hills.
The lions method Of hunting the
deer is not unlike that OF the big
cats Of Africa and India in the pursuit
Of the antelope and deer Of those coun-
tries. Having found spring or pool
where the desired game comes to wa
ter at nightfall, the lion selects an
cverhanging limb or ledge OF rock,
whence one leap will carry him to the
back or throat of his prey, and thereon
lays himself out in perfect accord with
the limb itself In the gathering dusk
the imDerfec: eye of the deer has lit
tie chance against this hidden terror,
and the wind, usually his faithful ally,
can help him none now, for the lion
is far and away too old a campaigner
not to lie up from the spring.
The deer comes; one leap from the
limb or ledge, and the sharp teeth and
powerful paws soon break the tender
neck; and DOM you believe it when
any one tells you that a California
lion can't carry away a deer. The
writer has followed the plain, broad
trail CT the heavy pads for over half
a mile, and then come suddenly on the
place where the killer had stopped to
rest. There in plain outline was the
imprint of the deer's body; but for
that whole distance the lion had car
ried it well up and clear of the ground
Such "portages" are not infrequent in
the career Of a hunting lion as these
animals never eat their game where
they kill it. Sometimes they hunt in
pairs, but in six or eight years spent in
the hills the writer has seen but one
such hunting pair.
Like the rest of the cats the world
over, the mountain lions mainstay in
hunting Is patience. He will wait for
hours on e. narrow limb rather than
get out like coyote and scour the
slopes for his supper; with feet as
noiseless as an owls wing, he will fol-
low an unsuspecting rabbit or belated
spike buck until favorable opportu-
nifty for help presents, and then it is
generally "all day" for the hunted.
But Of all things the lion loves deer
meat, and while he will dare a great
many dangers for young pig, his lik-
ing for deer is even greater than that

the adoption of the leading features Of the
great Secular" papers. The great relig-
ious papers oe the country to-day are such
in name only. Were the contents of one
of these papers rearranged and printed In
newspaper form it would pass as news
paper, minus the newspapers up.to-date
freshness. In the secular press, on the
other hand, there is steady progress and
increasing vitality. The moral tone of the
American people Is reflected in the new
journalism, and the fact that the citizens
of the republic desire Righteousness is pat
ent to al who seek the underlying motives
Of journalistic enterprise of the highest
type. And this fact is most significant
when we remember that these great agen-
cies Of publicity, free discussion and edu-
caticn have direct bearing upon the shap-
ing of the ideals of the iniowing millions
of our population. The spirit of the
American Journalism Is communicated to
the AmericaniZed representatives of these
foreign peoples, and they in turn give it
to their dependent fellows through the co.,
umns of their publications. We have no
right to assume that papers published IN
foreign tongues stand for Old World an
archy; we should. the rather, heartily con-
cede the fact that these journals, printed
in Italian, German, Hebrew, Welsh and
other languages. constitute a great mis-
sionary agency fer doing foundation work
in Americanism and altruism. Indeed: the
very fact that our citizens IN the making
eagerly grasp these informing agencies IS a
prophecy of great things to come. We
have here no isolated lethargic, se:f-satSs-
fed aggregation OF human beings. 5as we
have millions of men who are ber. in
