ENGLISH Tarred Roads.

The hygienic value Of roads painted
with tar is thoroughly appreciated in
Birmingham. England. The road is
first thoroughly cleaned by dry sweep
ing. then roughly distilled tar is poured
over it and spread evenly. after which
sand is thrown on, and the road is i'm
mediately~ ready for traffic. A fort
night or three weeks later a second
coating is applied. and in short time
the road has the appearance of an as
phalt street. 1t appears, also, that a
short stretch of road in Beckenham
was treated with tar oil, which is pour
ed over again and again. until the pores
Of the road exude the preparation.
This, however, dries up quickly, does
not make an oily and nasty mess in
wet weather and is said to be much
cheaper than the tar process, but it re-
quires more frequent renewal. \ COM
paratively small quantity of the uate-
rial is available, and this is difficulty
in the way of its general adoption.

they begin to appear will keep road
in fine condition until 1t is almost en-
tirely worn out.
Nothing Is more neglected than the
removal Of worn material from the
road. 1t seems to be regarded merely
as clearing of the surface from mud
and as such an unnecessary expense.
while in reality this worn material af
fects the entire composition Of the road
covering. Consequently, unless the
mud is washed away by nature from
the surface, scraping or sweeping is
necessary to preserve the proper pro
portion of solid stone in the road
When road is broken or cut into
by excessive weights, 1t is no longer a
mere matter of replacing wear. but of
expensive repair, and In many cases
of entire rebuilding

Eased His Conscience.

An amusing story is related of Johns
Hopkins. Honesty was evidently one
of the fundamental traits Of lis char
acter. On one occasion he was sent by
his mother to borrow a fiatiron of a
neighbor. The good neighbor gave him
the fiatiron and at the same time Of
fered him a piece OF pie.
"No, thank you. / don't want any
pie" said the red faced boy as he
started home. Halfway there tie pie
and his conscience We're too much for
him. He wheeled about and Knocked
again at the neighbor's door, his face
redder than ever. Il told you story" +"
he explained; II did want that pie"

CARE OF HIGHWAYS.
Good Roads Are Soon Destroyed Un.
less Given Constant Attention.

Good roads require constant atten-
ton or they will cease to be. This
fact cannot be too often repeated or
too strongly dwelt upon, says the state
supervisor Of highways of New Jersey.
e To replace wear that is unavoidable
is very simple matter when constant
attention is given to the road. 1t Is
only when the surface is neglected for
long period that the matter of re-
pairs becomes serious one. A little
attention to drainage, the removal OF
slight distractions from the cutters.
the clearing away of rubbish from the
mouths Of culverts, the removal of
grass and brush from bitches and the
careful spreading of small quantities
of stone over depressions as soon as

Major Berriman Tells of "Sunshine and
 Shadow" of Life.
 Sunshine and Shadow was the sub feet of an interesting lecture delivered by Major J. tMs Berrirnan, rcofnnander of the Southern Division of the Saliva ton Army. before a large audience last night at fhS First Presbyterian church. Many wonderful stories of the trans forming influence : of religion n s-the lives of fallen people ali over the worlds 'trAnsformatioR from the shad- owy side of life to the sunlight of Gods fexe9nnd mercy, were related by the speaker. Many incidents were told of the wonderful work or the sal yation Army throughout the world The Salvation Army has stations in dfty-two different countries andNe colo nIes of the world and the workers in the army are nombefed sby thB rhufi- dreds of thousands.
 One of the most interesting incidents related by Major Berriman was his brief description of hisSvfsit atot Lon> don two years ago as the delegate from the southernv Divast0nl AOf 4he Salvation Army in the Unked States 10 the thtrty-ninth anniversaryi'o 'of'.the Tourid- ing of the Army by General Booth.

Salvation Army throughout these forty years he de- scrfbed as being done with the~maflet of Love and the chtse1 of Faith. " and in this connection delivered a beauti- ful picture of the life and the work of General B6oths A point which the Major emphasized was that the ranks of the Salvation Army are not recruit ed entirely from the poor of the earth, but great numbers come from the sons and daughters of wealthy and inhuen- tiaf parents who have waRdSred away and have fallen by the way side.
