Concrete Culvert End.

Large culverts and bridges should
always be designed by competent civil
engineers and constructed under their
supervision. Indeed very often the
advice of such an engineer in regard
to the smaller waterways might be
sought with profit Money is too often
wasted from lack of knowledge con-
corning the proper sizes of pipes and
culverts.
In many localities it is the custom
to extend to the center of the road
driveways leading from adjacent lands
to the road to meet it's center grade.
This practice makes it necessary to
carry the gutter water under the drive
way in pipe Nearly always it is
possible, by regarding such a drive
way, to make it coincide with the gut
ter grade, so that the surface water
will flow by without Interruption
This should always be done when pos
sible. Pipes with open ends laid at
the gutter grade are always unsatis.
factory, since they fill up quickly with
leaves and sand and with slush in
ter is forced out upon the macadam
and soon gullies it. When a pipe is
required, catch basin should be built
on the upper side of the driveway, the
pipe should be laid to connect with it,
and carried sufficiently far under
ground to discharge properly into the
gutter below the driveway.
In cuts where the grade is in ex.
cess of three per cent. and where the
soil is loose or sandy it is sometimes
necessary to pave the cutters with
cobblestones or with paving bricks
or paving stones TO prevent the for
nation of gullies i'll the shoulders and
in the macadam. Usually gutter
three feet in width laid on the same
or a little greater slope than the ma
cadam, with an outer row Of large
stones about one foot high laid YER
tically against the bank of the cut, is
sufficient Such a gutter usually re-
places the shoulder, and it should not
be constructed until the macadam is
substantially completed.

Tastes in Reading Differ.

Mark Twain, in one of his books,
declares that he cannot enjoy "Thd
Vicar of Wakefield" a book that has
charmed several generations with its
exquisite simplicity and humor. The
farmer takes great comfort out of
this announcement on the part of a
man who is not only our greatest
humorist, but our greatest writer of
fiction He feels that If Mark Twain
can abominate one of the treasures of
English literature, and roundly score
it, there is no reason why the
farmer himself should not go to
bed with his thoughts when his COM
pany begins to sound the praises Of
Don Quixote" The truth is that
both books are far above the reach Of
individual opinion of any kind. They
may be praised, or they may be smart
~ criticised; it is all one. They have
passed over to the immortals, and
there they will remain. They have
become classics.-Joel Chandler Har-
ris, in Uncle Remus' Magazine.

Good Eve. CuchuiIlinI

Who can set bounds to the soaring
imagination of the Celt? An enthusi-
astic New Yorker recently watching a
game of hurling-which resembles Ia
crosse-between stalwart teams, was
moved to ask President Conway of the
Irish Athletic association how far a
good man could drive the ball.
"Well, I'll tell you" responded Mr..
Conway, with twinkle in his eye that
contradicted his serious speech. ''In
the good old days when Cuchuillin was
champion of Ireland, the king and all
the nobility were assembled at the
great games of Tailtin. Cuchuillin
struck up hurley ball into the sky,
and then walked off to his pavilion and
took a drink of potheen, and strolled
back to the spot in good time to catch
the ball on his hurley. Harper

lied by a severe, at times, agonizing
pain in the small of the back, allow
ing the sufferer scarcely a moments

1t can come from cold, exposure to
draft, from getting wet feet or wear
ing wet or damp clothing. it causes
acute suffering, and if allowed to be-
come chronic it may permanently dis
able the sufferer. The way to secure
quickest relief is to redden the skin
over the painful part by rubbing with
a flesh brush or piece of flannel rag,
and then apply ST. JACOBS OIL by
gentle friction with the hand.

DRAG THE ROADS.
Work If Done While Roads Are Soft
Is Most Effective.

The spring of the year is the time
when the work of road-dragging must
commence if the roads are to be
brought into a good condition through
this process. Dragging is a work that
must be done at the very muddlest
time to be most effective. Some com.
munities have waited till midsummer
or fall before beginning this work, and
the results have not been very salts
factory.
In the spring the frost coming out
of the ground leaves the roads muddy
to a great depth. The whole mass is
then plastic and will yield under the
passing of the road drag. The glaZ-
ing is then easily done and when the
good weather comes the heat of the
sun dries the surface into hard mass
that remains so for long time. In
states where great advance has been
made in the science of road dragging
the major part OF the work has been
done in the early spring. After the
foundation work is done the work can
be later continued after heavy rains,
but these rains do not usually wet the
road in to a very great depth.
The benefits of dragging have been
demonstrated in a thousand localities
where the soil has in It enough clay
to glaze under the passing of the road
drag. We believe that every COM
munity where the roads are not sandy
in nature can afford to take up this
work and give the roads treatments
that will insure good roads for the
balance of the year

Surely a No-Account Dog.

A man in Missouri recently sued a
railway company for damages for
the death of hound killed on the
track, says the Youths Companion.
The company defended itself upon
the following points:
Said dog was chasing a rabbit up
defendants tracks in violation of the
game laws.
Said rabbit lived on defendants
right of way, and was therefore the
property of the defendant.
Plaintiffs dog was a trespasser,
and was hunting defendants property
without permission.
Said deceased was not much of a
dog, anyhow, or it could easily have
kept out of the way of defendants
trains.
And having fully answered, defend
ant prayS to be discharged.

mesh that is most sought We see
handsome blouses of nothing save
Cluny lace sewed together, and even
when the finer meshes are employed,
big medallions and anemones are put
on, so that the coarse lace is always
in evidence. Even for lingerie the
coarsest of meshes and threads are
sought. Material for such purposes
cannot be too beautiful, and the dain-
test and sheerest of batiste is used;

Dr. Jarden seized the letter and read
it in an undertone to the physicians
at his side:

UndersIeeves in Color.

It is said that Partisan style makers
are concealing their original designs
because Americans steal them, as it
style isn't anybody's property. Word
comes that the favorite sleeve in
Paris just now is finished by an I'M
dersleeve, not the sheer white under
sleeve with which women here have
long been familiar, but an undersleeve
of satin, velvet or silk, of relieving
color from the loose outer sleeve.
They don't seem to be worn around
here as yet, but women should be on
the lookout for them, as they may be
attractive.

within two feet of the surface of the

should be used. For larger volumes

cross-over for Barbed Wire Fence.

Anyone who has ever tried to cross
over a barbed wire fence knows how
difficult it is to accomplish it without
injury to body or clothing. A safe
passage may be arranged by taking
two short boards or pieces OF plank
ing six inches wide and long enough
to reach from the ground to four
inches above the fence. Nail these
strips securely to the fence post, slant
ing out at the bottom about two feet
from the post. To these pieces nail
three cross pieces on either side OF the
fence thus forming what is practical
Iy a ladder on both sides. The fence
post should be longer than the others
along the line as it enables one to
grasp it for support while crossing
Several ladders of this kind arranged
at convenient intervals will make the
matter of crossing wire fences easy

FLOOD SUMMARY.
Fourteen Lives Lost and Property
Worth $2,5OO,OOO.

Atlanta, Ga, Aug. 2S.-A call for as
sistance,- loss of million and a
half dollars in Augusta alone, and of
a million in other cities in South
Carolina and parts of Georgia and
fourteen lives lost, summarizes the
flood conditions in the south today.
Reports of damage from points in
South and North Carolina are coming
in slowly. Bridges have been washed
away in South Carolina, along the
Southern railway and until midnight
last night it was impossible to secure
communication with any point out of
Atlanta. In Augusta, the principal
suffering Is along gullies, known as
Bridewell's bottom and Perry's bot
tom. Here the houses were covered to
the caves. The water also sur
rounded business blocks in the city
and the total damage in this city will
be million and a half dollars. 1t is
not expected that the loss of life will
be increased. Most OF the killed by
high water were caught in their homes
on the outskirts of the city. There are
many rumors of others killed, but
these have not been verified. In South
Carolina, the loss of life will reach
probably 20. In North Carolina pos
sibly half a dozen whites and as many
negroes have been killed.
The list of dead in Georgia follows:
HARRY CARR, white, jumped from
the burning building of the Nixon
warehouse. Augusta, leaves wife and
two children.
. ROBERT BELCHER, jumped from
the Nixon building.
HORACE WINGARD, jumped from
the Nixon building.
ELEVEN NEGROES, seven found
under the walls of the Nixon ware
house.
Every mill in Augusta. where loss
of life occurred, has been shut down
and there will be no manufacturing
operations for weeks.
Five thousand persons have been
thrown out of employment in Augusta
and the list will be swelled to $4,000
when the mills in other Georgia cities
and in South and North Carolina are
considered.
The financial loss in Augusta is
$1,000,000 and the financial loss in
central Georgia cities affected by the
flood is s1,000,000 and the loss in
North and South Carolina is
$1,500.000.
