COW We're yolied together to draw the
furrow for making the walls of Rome.
Greeks and Romans employed oxen in
plowing: asses only for sandy soils.
When the plOwman had finished his
days labor he turned the instrument
upside down, and the oxen went home
dragging its tail and handle over the
surface of the ground, a scene describ-
ed by Horace.
The yoking together of OK and ass
was expressly forbidden by the law of
Moses and is made the ground of n lu-
dicrous comparison by Plautus. Ulys-
ses. when he feigned madness in order
to avoid going on the Trojan eXpedi-
tion, plowed with an OK and a horse
together.

What lie Was Worth.

This story is told about Robert
Burns. Burns was standing on long
pier on the water front of Edinburgh
\ well known and wealthy merchant,
walking by, stumbled and fell into the
water. He could not swim and so
sank. When he arose for the third
time nobody dared to save him, but
an old weather beaten sailor, at the
risk of his own life, ran up the pier
and, jumping in, rescued the man.
The gentleman had been worked
over quite awhile before he became
conscious, and when he realized the
situation he rewarded his rcScuer with
what i'll our money would amount to
% cents At this the crowd which had
gathered, knowing his wealth, hootcd
and jecrcd, but Burns, who was stand
ing by. quctcd them and said:

directly in front of the academy and
along stretch of country nearly as
smooth as the top Of billiard table
The rock CruSher, which Is the impor-
tant machine of the outfit Is located
midway of the work At the time the
construction began n great hill Of hard
limestone was deposited near the
cruSher. From the CruSher the rock Is
carried to II revolving screen, which
separates 1t into the three classes used.
The power is supplied by an ordinary
traction engine. A 200Oo pound steam
roller passes over the road constantly,
smoothing down the surface until 1t Is
nearly nS hard aS solid rock. The
pressure IS equivalent to about 425
pounds to the square inch.
ID. G. Hare. the expert in charge of
the construction. says that any county
whose land is worth from $50 to $40 an
acre can afford good rock roads.
The permanent road is the cheapest
road" said Mr. IIaire. AT the outset 1t
looks like Il tremendous expense when
compared with country methods of
building highways, but in the long run
the rock road will pay for itself over
and over again. In some sections
where we have built such roads the
advanced price of land has nearly paid
the expense in one year. \ farming
community to be prosperous must be
able to reach the market in bad wealth
er rs well as good. The we'll construct
ed highways make 1t n matter Of indif-
ference whether ii rains or not An
other thing and ii is an important one,
investors from the east will hardly look
at a country where the highways are
full of mudholcs. They have been used
to good rock roads and would not feel
at home with hput them"
The first mile of Il country highway
constructed according to government
plans may cost anywhere from $4,000
to $1,000. The expense Is governed by
the distance Of the quarry from the
road the price of labor, etc. The sec
Ond mile, however, can be built cheaper
because by that time the men and
teams are more familiar with the work
and can accomplish II greater amount
In less time The method employed by
the government in its object lesson
roads is nS follows:
In the first place, a smooth. hard sub
grade IS prepared. with solid shoulders
ut the side to hold the grading material
firmly in place. The Subgrade is Of the
same contour that the completed road
will be. The rock Is crushed and
screened In three different sizes, the
largest from two to two and a half
Inches in diameter, the next about an
inch or an inch and n quarter, the third
fine pieces, known as screen dust"
This latter Is used for filling and bind
ing the surface The largest rock Is
laid on the bottom, the Intermediate
comes pcXt and the dust goes on top.
1t Is hammered into all the spaces he
tween the larger rock. Each course Is
rolled several times by the large steam
roller. Water is used freely when ap-
plying the fine stone. a Sprlnkling
cart pr"cedeS the roller, which follows
along, creating a wave of cement. The
finished road is nearly aS smooth and
hard as solid stone and MS the sub
grade Is impcrviOus to water 1t Is prac-
tiCally indcStructible. Twelve feet is
the average width OF government
road

How He Resented the
Prejudice to His Race

THE story is told of an lri>hman
who bitterly resented the prciu-
dice against his race that he be
lieved constantly initiated against
him. ON one occasion when he applied
for Il place ON a sailing vessel the cap
tain asked for Il reference.
"A rcfcrcncc"' exclaimed the Irish
man. For a common sailors iob."
But the captain insisted, and the ref
ercnce had to be obtained before he
was engaged. When presently another
applicant, an EngIiShman, was en-
gagged for similar place. but without
demand for reference, naturally the
lrShman was indignant. He was of
course obliged to smother his anger.
but lie cherished his srudgr both
against the other sailor and the cap
tain.
one day the two sailors were at
work near each other, each with pail
of SoapSudS SCruhbing off the deck.
The EngiShman was resting his pail
on the rail for an unguardcd moment.
when sudden lurch of the vessel sent
him overheard, with his implements.
The lriShman arose. shouting Justify.
Then, recollecting himself, he suppress
ed the 'man overheard" that came to
his lips.
As the captain and others came run
ming to see what the hubbub meant the
lrishman waved his arms dramatically
toward the unfortunate sailor strug-
CLING in the water.
"Thc Englishman that We took with
out reference. sor." he said, "iS gone
off wild yer pail"'-Ncw York Times.

The North StaP,

The north star is exactly in line with
the poles of the earth-that is to say.
it is exactly north of the earth-which
is the reason why its position with ref
erence to us does not change by the
revolution of the earth upon its axis.
The reason its position does not seem
TO change by the annual revolution or
the earth around the sun is that it fs
so many billions Of miles away that
the difference in direction from differ
ent points Of the earth's orbit is i'm.
perceptible.
