ALWAYS SOURCE OF WEAKNESS.
P~retense petraets from the Power
to Accomplish.

There is nothing which will add so
much 10 ones power as the conscious
Tess of being absolutely sincere. genu-
inc. If your life is a perpetual lie,
II you are conscious that you are not
what you pretend to be-that you are
really a different person from what
the world regards you-you are not
strong.
There is a restraint. a perpetual
fighting against the truth going on
within you, a struggle which saps
your energy and warps your conduct.
If there is a mote at the bottom of
your eye you cannot look the world
squarely in the face.
Your vision is not clear. Everybody
sees that you are not transparent.
There Is a cloudiness. a haze about
your character, which raises the inter.
rogation point where you go. Char
acter alone is strength. deceit is weak.
ness, sham and shoddy are powerless,
and only the genuine and the true are
worth waile.-Exchange.

Too Many for Him.

An American travelling in Germany
was much bewildered at the large
number Of distinct and apparently in
dependent countries through which he
went.

A Long Sentence.

The prize for the longest sentence
ever written may fairly be awarded to
the elder Dumas, who probably holds
a further record for fertility of pro
duction. In the seventh of the 30 vol
umes which compose the Impressions
de Voyage" there is a sentence de-
scribing B%enyenuto Cellini, which fills
three pages, or 10S lines, averaging
45 letters apiece. The sentence is
broken by IS commas and so semi
colons; but as It contains 1875 verbs
and 122 proper names, the reader is
somewhat bewildered before the end
Is reached.

Wise Men.

Although a wise man is exacting
toward himself he does not demand
anything Of others. He is content with
his lot and lever complains Of heaven.
He never blames others for his fate
therefore, when he finds himself in a
low state, he submits to fate. An
ordinary mortal, seeking earthly bliss.

When the arrow does not hit the
target he who shoots II blames only
himself and no n else. Even Sc

Kissing.


kissing, which has become so com
mon a thing in this day, was not done
az all in public in my young days
said an ancient dame as she witnessed
two women embrace each other at the
Grand Central station when they met
and again when they parted and said
~Good-by." Il cannot remember when
it first began to be; | only remember
a time when such a thing would have
been thought unseemly.
Except at children's parties, when
we played the pane of Pillows and
Keys ] never saw kissing. 1t simply
wasn't the custom of the people then.
] suppose it must have been the inhu.
ence of the Puritan ancestry of so
many of that day. The practice has
crept in from Europe, especially from
England, where it is so commonly
done. 1t doesn't indicate any special
fondness for the persons embraced;
it is merely a form of s%alutation."

/, Until within comparatively recent
years it has been almost universally
the practice to build thick macadann
roads. Roads less than eight inches
thick We're rarely heard Of, and often
a thickness Of at least twelve inches
Of was thought to be nee
essary for good results.
The more recent practice is to make
n surface as thin as pos
sible. yet with sufficient body to stay
in place, the theory being hat the
macadam is only a wearing surface.
BY lessening the thickness of the
much expense may be saved
since the foundation materials are
usually less costly than broken stone
The macadam should be hard, smooth
and imperviOuS to water. Much at
tention must be given to the founda-
ton. It should be composed of porous
material free from clay or loan. firm.
n sufficiently strong to sustain n
OF likely to come upon the road at
any time of the year.
In new work, where no macadam
has been laid before, three inches of
macadam after rolling is the least
thickness which is p~racticable; and,
except in unusual cases, q depth
greater than six inches after rolling
is rarely necessary if the founda-
ton is suitable.
The ordinary macadam road is
usually from twelve to sixteen feet
wide, with shoulders three to five feet
in width on each side of the broken
stone. The of the macadam
is usually six inches at the center and
four inches at the SIDES. or a uniform
depth of six inches throughout.
