Mother Influence.

She led me first to God:
Her words and prayers were my young
spirits dew.
For, when she used to leave
The fireside, every eve,
L knew it was for prayer that she with
drew.
That dew, that blessed my youth
Her holy love, her truth,
Her spirit of devotion, and the tears
That she could not suppress
Hath never ceased to bless
My soul, nor will it. through eternal
years.
How often has the thought
Of my mourn'd mother brought
Peace to my troubled spirit, and new
power
The tempter to repel!
Mother. thou knowest we'll
That thou hast blessed me since thy
mortal hour.

The Comma in Law.

Cincinnati Commercial-Tribu
The comma is very important item,
and, if omitted the reading matter cuts
queer capers. AS an instance, note the
following act of the last legislature of
Massachusetts: Whoever operates an
automobile or a motorcycle on any pub
lie way or private way laid out under
the authority of law recklessly or while
under the influence of liquor, or so as
to endanger the lives or safety of the
public" etc. Evidently the reckless
motorist can go as he pleases on high
ways which have not been laid out
under the influence of liquor" Legis-
lators should not only mind their ps
and as, but the periods and commas.

Trespass Death Toll.
(New York Press.)

Trespassing on railroad property, in
violation of the law, was responsible
for the deaths of A., 416 persons in the
United States in the last ten years In
the same period more than $4,000 tres
passers were injured. In view Of this
many of the important railroads have
determined to redouble their efforts to
secure in this country that rigid en-
forcement of the law against trespass-
ing which. in England, has reduced the
practice, and accidents to trespassers,
TO a small number.
The number of persons killed when
trespassing on railroads has been in
creasing every year. In 1898 4,063 tres

MIXING OF CONCRETE.
Importance Of the Proper Mixing 81
Cement for CuIverts and
Bridges.

A writer in a pamphlet issued by
an eastern cement company lays much
stress upon the Importance Of the
proper mixing of concrete for high
way bridges or culverts. This writer
points out that the proportion should
be used to give the densest concrete
with the maximum strength of the
concrete. Speaking of the matter OF
mixing he says:
The mortar mixing Of sand and &C.
ment is generally two parts of sand
to one part of cement, yet mixtures
of two and one-half to three parts OF
cement will give mortar that is
dense and for practical purposes as
good on small bridges and culverts as
stronger mixtures.
The stone aggregate should not be
more than twice that of sand and in
most cases the proportion of four
parts of stone will generally make the
most desirable mixture, as it allows
suf1i cient mortar to cover all the stone
and leaves no rough spots on the sur
face.
Mixing the concrete is most vital
thing in the life of structure, wheth-
er large or small, and to get the mass
as dense as possible.
Mix we'll and mix wet will cure
many faults, so-called, in working with
concrete.
Exposed surfaces of concrete may
be made sufficiently smooth by spa
ding, so as to force tho stones back
from the surface and allowing the
mortar to crowd to the face; the
forms should be sufficiently tight to
prevent mortar running out. With
these precautions, surfaces can be OBJ.
