means of triangular grooves three
eighths of an inch in depth. This
not only makes a neat appearance,
but furnishes a good foothold for
stock.
By sharp sand we mean that the
edges of the grains must be sharp and
not round or worn off as often occurs
in sand taken from the bed of
stream. Coarse sand is better than
fine sand. Fine sand even If clean,
makes a poorer mortar or concrete,
and requires more cement to thorough
ly coat the grains. A large proportion
of the grains should measure from l.
80 to 16 of an inch in diameter.
Some fine sand is necessary to help
fill the spaces between the larger
grains, and will thus save cement.
Water. The water used should be
clean and free from acids or alkalies.
Mixtures. There are two general
classes of mixtures, the tamped, or
dry and the poured )r wet. For the
tamped add just enough water so
that when all the concrete is in the
form or mold and is we'll tamped,
water will show on the surface. This
kind of mixture is usually used for
floors side walks ETC. For the wet or
poured mixture enough water is add
ed to make it thin enough to pour
from a pail. This is poured into the
mold, and the mold must be left on
it long enough for the mixture to set,
which is from one to two days OF
summer weather. This last mixture
is adapted to use in the construction
of fence posts, watering troughs,
foundations, etc.
Proportions. For ordinary farm
construction, as the making of floors,
foundations, walks, etc., the follow
ing proportion is recommended: One
part cement, 21a parts clean, sharp
sand, aud parts of loose gravel or
broken stone. For floors, this should
be tamped in to depth of from to
inches. This should be finished with
surface coat l to IL inches in
thickness, composed of l part cement
and ~ to 2 parts of clean, coarse
sand, mixed. Nearly all construc-
lions which come in contact with
water should be covered with a mortar
at least as which has the proportion
last named. For engine foundation,
l part cement, 2 parts sand, and 4
parts broken stone is good.

Something New.

Vincent Cressley celebrated Easter
Monday by going for the first time of
in his life in a horse race. He was a
feeble minded fool, and his compan-
ions easily persuaded him to stake in
the third race a dollar on siXty-to
one shot.
The horse won.
When the bookmaker gave Vincent
his winnings the silly fellow couldn't
believe his eyes.
''Do you mean to tell me- he said,
"that get all this for one dollar?'
"That's what you do" said the
book maker.
Viucent's look was like Sindbad' s
in the Valley of Diamonds.
"By ginger" he muttered. "and L
never knowed it, Say, how long has
this thing been goin' on?"

NOT LIKELY TO
STOP FOOTBALL

BY United Press Leased sgsciel wire.
WASHINGTON, Nov. Although
Army and Navy officers in Washington
regret deeply the fatal outcome Of the
Harvard-Army football game at West
Point on Saturday and the critical con-
dition Of Midshipman Wilson OF An
napolis injured two weeks ago, none
could be found to-day who would pre-
dict these Incidents foreshadow the end
Of the sport at the two schools.
The subject will undoubtedly be thor
oughly threshed over by the heads OF
the two departments and IL is pos
sible that some notifications Of the
rules OF the game viii be ordered, IN
the hope OF preventing similar acci-
dents IN tho future.
Most OF the officers stationed here
are ardent football enthusiasts, and en-
dorse the view Of General J. Franklin
Bell. chief Of staff, that Cadet Byrnes
death was not the result OF undue
roughness, but rather one of mis-
fortunes Of a legitimate sport. It is
likely that no action VIII be taken by
the War Department until after the
return TO Washington ,of Secretary
Dickinson, who is now with President
Tart in the South, and I'm view OF the
fact that the West Point authorities
have voluntarily cancelled all dates of
the team during the remainder of tho
season.

CHRISTIAN CHURCH

This is All Saints Day. a festival on
which al the saints known and un-

ed as a temple 70 all the pagan gods.

on May 13. but about the year 7si Pope
Gregory the Third consecrated a chapel
IN st. Peters Church IN honor OF all
the saints and from that time All
