NARROW ROADWAYS.
Reduce Cost of Paving and Are Adj
vantageOus In Many Ways.


vantageOus In Many Ways.
The advantages of narrow roadways
OH streets are well known to many en-
gineers, but the citizens are not so well
advised. To speak of narrow road
way Is apt to cause people to eXclaim
against any narrowing of the street
for they usually think of the roadway
as being more than just the width be-
tween curbS. No sensible person would
advocate any narrowing of the streets.
They are often much too narrow.
Many persons are deferred from lay
ing pavcmcnts. however much they may
be desired, because of the large first
cost. says the Minneapolis Journal. If
this cost can be reduced by providing
less roadway to be paved Iluch more
pavement will be laid. III" width of
traffic demands greater the traffic
the wider the road, and vice versa.
The advantages of narrow road
are: First, lcsscned original cost; sec
ond, maintenance, a sprinkling cart be
ing able to cover twcnty-four foot
roadway with one passage, thus re-
ducing the cost of sprinking the cost
mcnt Is also reduced; third, healthful-
ness. the stretch of green grass on
either side of the roadway being much
more healthful than any pavement;
fourth, advantages in lighting, as the
street lamps may be placed away from
the trees; fifth, the stretch Of earth and
grass affords better means for water to
get at the roots of trees; sixth, the gas
and water mains, etc, being under the
grass plots, there is no necessity of tear
ing up the pavement with the well
known evil results; seventh, less sur
face for the collection of dirt and dust.
The only objections offered to narrow
roadwayS are that Il twenty-four foot
roadway will not accommodate its traf-
fic and that teams cannot turn around.
The traffic of street will determine
the width of road, and it will be easy
to widen at little cost if the traffic de-
mands it at any future time. Any
wagon that is too large to turn within
twenty -four feet can go to the first
street intersection.
The saving in cost by paving but
twenty-four feet as against thirty
amounts to $7,040 per mile if the cost
of pavement is 81 per square yard
Every foot that the pavement is mar
rowcd saves SLIT per mile and each
owner of Il fifty foot lot the sum of
$5.OI. The amount that is spent on
paving the extra width of street where
it is not needed, to say nothing of the
cost of maintenance, could be devoted
to extending the paving and thus secur-
ing greater benefits to the town at
large.

Deer reverse the apparent order of
nature, for they sleep in the daytime
and feed at night How much sleep
they do take is a matter of contention
even among experienced stalkers. Some
say little, others much. On the whole,
We are inclined to agree with the for
mer, for it has to be remembered that
they chew the cud when lying down.
Two most experienced and observant
foresters. the one in Argyllshire and
the other In Aberdeenshire. thus gave
their opinions: Deer sleep or rest from
about 10 or II a. m. to 4 p. m" Deer
sleep from noon to 5 p. m."
1t is no uncommon occurrence to
come on deer asleep. A stalker in the
Blackmount had the rare experience
OF coming upon parcel of seven stays,
all sound asleep. A herd was seen to
move In Glenfeshie, but one stag re-
mained behind, lying motionless. On a
careful approach he was found to be
asleep. Perhaps, however. the oldest
occurrence of this nature happened In
Braemore. when stalking party on
going up to the stag which had Just
been shot found n three-year-old close
to 1t fast asleep. In fact. 1t is by no
means rare to get within yard or
two Of a sleeping deer.-Scottish Field.

EnlistinE ChfIdren's Aid,

The pioneer in civic Improvement

Mass, long ago saw the necessity of
interesting children in town improve
ment, and in another town where the
boys and girls were trying to maintain
beautiful surroundings a disinterested
man offered 81 to any boy or girl who
could cultivate the best flower bed. Sew
eral towns in Missouri, among them
Carthage and Bethany, offer prizes ev-
cry summer and urge children to eX-
hibit ut their county fairs. In some in
stances boys who are employed as
newsboys carry water long distances
after school hours that the little patch
outside their forlorn homes may be cul-
tivated. Still another phase of the
work is seen In Honesdale, Pa, where
the children pick up papers on the
itreet and deposit them in tin cans pro-
vided for the purpose.

ALL TOOK A HAND.
How m Indiana Town Was Cleaned
by Its Citizens.

by Its Citizens.
A town IN Indiana was cleaned re-
Gently at very little expense and in
rather novel manner and now looks
as if an army of white wings" had
gone over it. The members of the vii
lage Improvement society decided that
the town needed general cleaning up,
and notice to that effect was published
in the local newspaper. The society
asked every one to aid it, particularly
the school children, and announced that
after the work was over ice cream and
cake would be served.
The day set for the cleaning was on
Saturday. and the work was begun in
the morning and kept up until late in
the evening. Men, women and chill
dren. armed with rakes, hoes and heavy
brooms, took hold with will, and pa
per, leaves, sticks and other matter
We're raked into heaps and carted
away. Some positive nuisanccs were
cleaned up which soon would have re-
quired the attention of the board of
health.
The towns enterprising improvement
association has been in existence only
two years, but during that time it has
accomplished great deal. Through
its efforts two new schoolhouscs have
been built, q fine library secured, many
shade trees planted and the residential
streets improved 100 per cent. Its one
aim and object Is to make the town
better place to live in.
