Origin Of the Devifs Raeecourse IN
the Blue Ridge.

The Blue Ridge Mountains abound
In natural wonders" observed IL. A.
Barnes. OF Pen-Mar. Most wonder
ful OF them all. In my opinion, Ii the
peviis Racecourse, which Is but a
short walk from Pen-Mar.
"At first view this strange, natural
phenomenon appears like broad
roadway OF great stones which ex-
tends away up the mountain In a path
no human hand could ever build.
Many of these great stones weigh
tons. while others are only few
hnndredweight. Lying close together
by the thousand they present an OK
traordinary spectacle.
Tradition has II. and scientists
agree, that thousand or more years
ago this strange track was the bed
OF an ancient river. The conclusion
is drawn from the looks of the stones
they are all well rounded and worn
smooth, showing the action of the
water, which had polished their rough
edges, no doubt for centuries,
but the mystery Is II this theory
be true TO explain how the great body
of water was confined at the sides
for the course is nor hemmed IN by
high banks, nor Is II located In i
ravine. In fact, II stands somewhat
higher than the natural side of the
mountain. The puzzle only intensifies
interest In the queer place and multi
plies the arguments and theories OF

They We're swiudled.

Richard Mansfield, the recently de-
ceased actor. hired a private secre-
tary few years ago. but was compell-
ed 10 discharge him because he could
not spell and was otherwise rather
lame In the matter OF education. When
the young man had received the notice
OF his dismissal he went 10 the actor
and asked for an explanation.
The fact is," he was told, your
education is too meager for the re-
quirements Of the position"
Greatly offended the ex-secretary
exclaimed. why. sir, my parents
spent $1,000 on my education"
Then. my dear boy" said the actor,
Fl would advise them TO institute pro-
ceedings for the recovery Of the mon
ey. They were gwindled."
Another story told OF him was his
witty reply 10 the promoters who came
10 him for capital to float 'the great
estest scheme since Col. Sellers time. .
They painted their prospects In more
colors than the rainbow, and their
optimistic verbage was more brilliant
than an autumn sunset.
Mr. Mansfield listened: then asked
with delicious sangfrold DO you
know why the Lord said TO Ananias,
stand fortb'2' Upon receiving a neg
ative reply he said: well, | don't
either, unless Il was that you three
could stand first, second and third"

HAGERsTOws DEPOT.
Western Maryland VIII Spend Big
Sum In That City.

The Western Maryland Railroad
Company will expend sl60.000 within
the next few months on improvements
at Hagerstown and will build q new
passenger station there which will
be one of the finest II not the finest
now on the road.
Two lots OF land have Just been
purchased by the officials OF the road
as site for the new station. These
lots are between Washington and
Franklin streets and face on Foundry
street. They are near the site of the
present depot and are more conYen-
iently located for depot facilities than
Is the present property.
In addition TO the station, the road
will be double tracked through the
city. This is necessary to provide
proper facilities for the movement
Of trains in and out OF Hagerstown.
Other minor improvements will also
be made.
Mr.. Bush said that the Western
Maryland had watched a long time to
give Hagerstown the kind OF a sta
ton which the size and Importance
of the city deserved, but now that the
opportunity had come To make the
needed Improvements, the company
would do the right thing by the Wash
ington county capital.

sand CLAY Roads.

Natural sand clay roads may fire.
quently be found in localities where
the soil contains the right proportion
OF sand and clay. In sections OF the
country where the prevailing subsoil
is composed entirely OF clay or, on
the other hand, Is OF extremely sandy
character, these materials may be
properly mixed so as to overcome the
Objectionable features OF each, pro-
vided the material to be added is con-
yeniently available. Sand clay roads
are well adapted for light traffic and,
when the cheapness OF this kind OF
construction is considered, ii win be
seen that for certain localities 1t Is
preferable to macadam. The best
sand road is one in which the wearing
surface Is composed Of grains OF sand
In contact in such way that the
voids or angular spaces between the
grains are entirely filled with clay.
