keep the road from travelling. For this
reason these materials are better adapt
ed to light traffic than harder and
tougher rocks.
When bank cherts are first spread
upon the road they are sometimes soft
and brittle and apparently almost use
less as road material, but when
the materials are exposed to the action
Of traffic and the elements the surface
soon becomes a solid, compact mass.
Cherts and novaculltes are invariably
found in sedimentary formations. The
material is also found sometimes COM
pletely covering the ground, sometimes
in the beds Of streams ana narrow val
leys, where 1t has been deposited by
the action Of the water. and again in
banks and pockets on hill and noun
tain sides. Cherts are usually found
In nodular masses, but, like novacu-
lites, may occur in angular fragments
varying in size from about one to six
inches.
Where these materials are found in
banks or the beds Of streams they are
commonly called gravel. Greek gravel,
! formed from ebert or novaculite, is
usually of uniform size and COMPARE
lively clean, while the bank gravel
often contains earthy matter and fine
particles Of the same material. The
creek gravel usually wears the best,
but 1t does not bind SO readily or form
as smooth surface as the bank de-
posits. Where both creek and bank
+, gravel Is available good results can
be obtained by using the former fot
foundation and the latter for wearing
or binder course. The writer used
this method at Florence, Ala, with
marked success.
4 Where the material is plentiful and
i where good quality OF bank grave
is available for binder 1t Is unneees
sary to so to the trouble and expense
of cutting out subgrade or to pre-

Il regular macadam. IL the shoulders
are dispensed with, however, 1t Ia ab
solutely essential that the surfac'
course contain q sufficient quantity o
good binding material; otherwise tht
il bond will soon be broken. the materia
will spread. and much OF It will even
tually be forced or washed into tn
side bitches. The roadbed should Q

a slight crown Of from three-eighths t
one-half of an inch to the foot fror
the center to the sides. The founda
ton should then be rolled and the mate
rial for the first course spread In tw
layers and rolled and sprinkied In tn
usual manner. The spreading OF tn
material can be accomplished by tn
use of road machine, provided tn
/, gravel is not too large. The toti
depth OF material may vary from fou
TO nine inches at the center, az so

The great and growing popularity of DR..

lication of the names Of the ingredients on the
wrapper of every bottle sold, gives tull assur-
ance of its non alcoholic character and re-
moves all objection to the use of an unknown
secret remedy. 1t is not patent medicine
nor a secret one either. This fact puts 1t in q

in the full list of its ingredients. Many years
OF active practice convinced DIR. Pierce OF the
value of many native roots as medicinal

processes for rendering them both efficient
and safe for tonic, attentive and rebuilding

visions OF the bill, paying especial atten-
tion to the proviso that the company docs
not desire to follow the regular ways or
roads. because il it did SO it would spoil
the driving and might ruin the town. He
stated that the gentlemen who are inter-
ested in the matter are among the most
prominent OF the summer residents OF the
place as well as some Of the leading per-
manent citizens Of the town, and that al
though they have in the past been OPP
posed to the idea of an electric road, they
have come to the conclusion that its COM
ing is a necessity, and that it should be
well handled. The incorporators have,
therefore, complied with all the necessary
regulations.
DR.. Robert Amory, of Boston, stated to
the committee that the incorporators in
tend to commence the preliminary work
of building as soon as possible in the
spring. He said that he regards the
streets as too narrow for tracks, and that
the character of the soil is such as to make
it difficult to follow the streets.
George B. Dorr, of Boston, thought
that it would be very dangerous to run in
the road, and, in fact, no one wishes to
have the railroad in the travelled ways.
No one appeared in opposition to the
measure which was tabled for executive

BEWARE OF "DIGESTlvES",

The Only Way to Cure Stomach Dis
orders is by Strengthening the
Digestive Organs.
The ordinary dyspepsia" tablet
has ruined more stomachs than all
other causes combined. Giving tenn
porary relief, it leaves the digestive
system weaker than ever, and the
tablets must be continued with in
creasing frequency.
The only way to completely cure
stomach troubles is by strengthening
the digestive organs with a Mi-o-na
stomach tablet taken before meals.
Used in this way, Mi-o-na excites the
secretion of gastric juice, and when
the food is swallowed, the stomach is
ready to digest it.
Mi-o-na stomach tablets are never
sold in bulk, but in neat box con-
venient for the purse or vest pocket,
at soc.
A guarantee is given by. G. A. Par
cher with every box of Mi-o-na, that
money will be refunded if the remedy
fails to give satisfaction. This shows
his faith in the merits OF the remedy.

Most OF as have read OF the fairy prin-
never expected to see that fabric in reality.
Now Signor Gallieni, governor Of the is
land OF Madagascar, off the southeast
coast Of Africa, sends word to America
that he has opened factory where the
workers are weaving the webs OF certain
spiders Of the island into beautiful silken
fabrics which are shipped to Paris and
made up into ladies' gowns.
Thousands OF spiders work day and
night in their cages in the big room in
the factory given over to them, and they
industr:ously spin millions Of yards Of
their strong silk threads, which are care
fully wound and taken to the weaving
rooms.-M. Glen Fling, in the February

LEARN TO LAUGH.
You've laugh concealed about you;
Why not give 1t freedom nows
II the world were left without you
1t could get along somehow;
But no matter, why be dismal
Or brother to despair?
Though your woes may seem abysmal,
You've hidden smile somewhere.
Why go sneering and complaining
Does your sadness help at alls
Is it good to sit back draining
Out the wormwood and the gall?
Is there profit in declining
To give up the crown you wear,
That you go around repining
And exhibiting despair?
Every laugh that rings out purely
Makes the world a better place;
You've smile about you, surely,
Why not wear it on your face?
Why go boarding up your gladness
When each sound of sinless mirth
Helps to clear away the sadness
That should have no place on earths

The coal report of the interstate
commerce commission was recently
submitted to Congress in compliance
with the Tillman- Gillespie resolution
of last March. 1t is an important re-
port and covers the inquiries made by
the commission into the operations of
the bituminous coal-carrying roads
throughout the eastern part of the
United States. The report says that
there should be no ownership of coal
mining stock allowed by either the
railroads or the officials of the rail
road companies that transport the
coal. 1t recommends that fair and
equitable rating of the coal mines in
regard to their output be in force,
that the ownership of so-called pri-
vate coal cars be abolished, and that
the carriers after a reasonable time
shall be forbidden to have any inter-
est in the coal mines along their
lines, except so far as these mines are
exclusively for furnishing fuel to the
railroads themselves.
