OIL IN ROAD BUILDING.
How IL Is Applied on Highways In
California.

KeEn Is one OF the most notable coun-
ties Of California ns regards the ex-
tent and excellence of It's system Of
oiled roads. Fucts and figures collect
ell by the department of highways
show that there are now in use In Kern
county n hundred miles of such roads
and about forty-fivc miles Of oiled
streets In cities and towns, says the
Sacramento Union.
The first work OF this kind by the
supervisors of that county was done
in 1901. The roadbcds, varying from
sandy to heavy soils. were first graded
and rounded up slightly and the oil ap-
piled to width Of ten or twelve feet
and then thoroughly mixed with har-
row. In applying the oil use wns made
of an ordinary wagon tank with a
sprinkler or distributor made of four
inch gns pipe, with half inch holes
drilled every two inches. the section
of pipe used being about ten feet long
From - to 100 barrels per mile were
used on the first application, the sandy
soil requiring the larger quantity to
make solid surface. After an inter
val of one or two weeks second ap-
pllcntion Of forty to sixty barrels Of
oil per mile was made. the roads hay

where the Roads Are Good.

Good roads make Il country com
munity more sOciable. They bring
each farmer in closer contact. He does
not mind hitching up to his team at
eventide and driving with his family
to visit Il neighbor knowing that the
roads are passuble and there is no dan
ger of running off bridge or into a
deep pool Of mud. Children can be
sent to school, as the roads keep In
good shape all winter. The rural mail
carrier is never late. They get their
morning papers at the same time every
day, and no weather is ever so bad
that the farmer cannot hitch up to Il
one horse wagon and drive to the vii
lage. These privileges are much to the
countryman, who has in former years
been forced to wade and drive through
mud to reach town or a ncighbors
house

Rural Delivery Notes

The first uniformed body of rural
free delivery mail carriers in the coun-
try started out from the Manchester
IN. H. postotiice recently. Postmaster
Clough obtained permission from the
authorities Mt Washington to uniform
them. There are nine regular carriers
and one substitute, Mrs. W. l.. Rhodes,
who will also wear n dress OF cadet
gray with black trimmings.
New Hampshire has but few more
than 100 carriers pass over Its high
ways, but they handle nearly 100000
letters and other pieces OF mail in the
course of year In their rounds-a
daily average OF 1876 pieces to each car
rfer.
There are now 1900 rural free de-
livery routes in Iowa.

1t has come to pass, too, that even an

Mayor and Council "instruct.'
Suppose State laws had to wait for
"instructions' from the Governor and

The moral of all this is-it is the

without waiting for instructions.
The Ordinance is III itself his warrant

CHAPTER XIV.

1
| The time for opening the package left
in Ethel's charge by Mrs. Nevergail was
now fast approaching, it being the first
| of October, and consequently she began
to feel exceedingly anxious in regard to
| the unknown parent who was to pre-
sent himself upon the fifth.
What sort of person should she find
in him, and would he be satisfied with
her attachments and appearance? These
questions were continually presenting
| themselves to the mind of the poor girl.
On the morning of the second, letter
was placed in her hand by one of the
| servants, and as private was written
on the outside she at once repaired to
| her own room in order to read it while
alone. The contents, to her surprise, ran
| as follows:
Very strange will it seem. my daugh-
| ter, to receive this, your first letter from
an entirely unknown parent. Not from
any lack of paternal telling have ] denied
myself the pleasure of seeing my only
| child, until she reaches her twenty first
birthday, but from a train of circum-
stances which made this course the wis
est. ]. however, am now counting the
days when | shall at last clasp her in
kisses and blessing. l presume you have
in your possession a package to be open
ed on that eventful day. l have seen Mr..
Rogers, and he has told me of the death
of your foster mother, and that you are
residing at Castle Cairn. My child, l
shall leave Liverpool on the morning
train, reaching the castle at noon. I'm
| til my appearance on the scene, | prefer
that you 90 not open the package. To
gether we will break the seal. Until
then l will only sign myself your affec-
tomato FATHE Err"
Noon of the long expected day at
length arrived, and her grace, the
Duchess of Westmoreland. who conde-
scended to feel considerable interest in
the young governess of her granddaugh-
ter, together with Lady Claire, were seat
ed in the drawing room, striving to calm
the unusual agitation of anxious and ex-
cited Ethel, who restlessly paced up and
down the elegant apartment, or fitted
from window to window, in order to
watch the drive, to catch the first glimpse
of her coming sire.
At length her weary watch was re-
warded by seeing a hanson dash up to
the entrance, and an elegant looking gen.
tleman descend. One moment passed,
then the door opened, and the stranger
entered.
Tall, and exquisitely proportiored, with
an air at once distingue and easy; hand
some features and large, dark eyes; hair
and full beard a rich brown, in which
blended few gray threads. This was
the picture of the one who paused mo-
ment near the threshold to survey the lit
tie group of ladies. Then, as Ethel ad-
vanced a few steps to meet him, he ex-
claimed:
my darling daughter, | am rejoiced to
see you!" at the same time folding her
to his bosom in a joyful embrace.

Taking Life Too Seriously.

Taking life too seriously is said to be
an especially American failing. This
may be true; but, judging from appear
ances, it would seem to be worldwide,

anxious, faces ten to one as compared
with the merry or happy ones. If

doubt IT'D, how many sad histories
can be read in the faces of those we
meet every day! The pity of it is, too.
that the sadness is a self-woven gar
ment. even as is the joy with which
it might be replaced. Ruskin says:
Girls should be sunbeams not only to
members of their own circle but to
everybody with whom they come in
contact. Every room they enter should
be brighter for tn ; IL presence Why
shouldn't all of be sunbeams boys as
we'll as girls, all along the way from

The Origin of Typography.

About century ago an artist named
Cranch was standing one day in front
Of a fire in his home at Administer.
Over the fireplace was an Oaken man.
telpiece. and Ii occurred to Cranch
that this expanse of wood might be
improved by a little ornamentation.
He picked up the poker, heated il
red-hot and began to sketch in bold
design. The result pleased him so
much that he elaborated his work and
began to attempt other fire pictures on
panels of wood. These met with Il
ready sale, and Cranch soon gave all
his time to his new art. This was the
beginning of what is now known as py-
Biography. The poker artist Of to-day
uses many different shaped tools and
has a special furnace in which they
are kept heated. The art has been
elaborated greatly. The knots, curls
and fibers of the wood are often
worked into the design and delicate
tinting produced by scorching the
pan2l.
