The roads near Columbia, built OF
sand and clay, for the most part run
through sandy stretches OF land COW

The sand is several feet deep and
there is no evidence OF clay any
where about, except to those who
know how to look for it. The gov

out all that section in roadbuilding,
was found here and there In pockets,
whose location is betrayed by the
presence Of a few round-leaved black
jacks, scattered among the more COM
mon long and angular leaved variety.
There is also growing in the soil
above these pockets a little running
briar, having dark green leaves.
The governor is convinced that
similar pockets of clay exist through
out the sandy, black jack sections of
Florida, which can be utilized in
making good hard roads.
In making the roads above men

ing petition was referred:
I'VE, the undersigned residents Of
West Hill, do hereby beg to call your
attention 70 the unhealthy condition
existing in our neighborhood on &C
count Of the breeding place for germs
caused by dumping garbage under our
noses. We have had this matter up
with DR.. Porter, who, we understand,
returned same to the city authorities
with instructions to act, but up to
the present time there has been moth
ing done, and we hereby petition yogr
honorable board to come to our relic
and help us to prevent the spread a
contagious disease"
Chairman Oerting, as one OF the
committee, stated that the petitioners
claims were investigated and found to
be true and on request for the county
attorneys opinion, who was conferred
with on this matter, Attorney Morgan
said that the commissioners as a body
had no power to act on the matter,
but as idividuals the petitioners had
the power by legal process to stop
the promiscuous dumping of garbage
near their places by obtaining in
functions through justices Of the
peace.
No action on the matter was taken
by the commissioners and the ques-
ton was, therefore, not discussed fur
thef.

One of the many Illustrations is
that of tuberculosis, which refuses to
yield TO medicine but must give way
to good blood. A man from Philadel-

II have been fighting tuberculosis
for some years, and with a weak
stomach was losing ground slowly
every year. / had tried many kinds
of medicine without relief, and finally
got so that my stomach, lS7er, kid
neys, bowels and lungs were Affected.
Ny stomach would retain no food

began to feel increased strength, so I
kept on, with the result that the
healthy blood has driven the disease
from every organ of my body except
the lungs and is slowly driving it
from them

laid. Over the clay more sand was
spread, the amount varying according
to the quantity of sand already con-
tanned in the clay. After the roads
had been used for a time, the road
machine was again used to arch up
the mixed sand and clay, and after a
rain, more sand was spread on top.
This process was continued until the
roads became less sticky, and the ma
terial hardened.
Here, in the Tallahassee country,
where both sand and clay abound, ex-
cellent streets and roads can be built
after this method at very small
cost.

A New Kind Of oIoay.

Berlin Letter in the New York World.
The Germans have a new science
which they call glossology. The pro-
lessons of glossology are able, they
say, TO read a mans character by the
shape. and capacity for movement OF
his tongue. They do not say anything
about reading a woman's character, but
the presumption is that women are In
cluded. It is not a difficult science,
and infallibility is claimed for 1t. All
you have got to do is to show your
tongue and the glossologist reads your
character. g..
7, A man with a long tongue, II is as
serted, has an open, courageous nature;
a. short tongue shows a reserved and
hypocritical nature; q broad tongue
indicates a chatty person, and a narrow
one a nasty, selfish person. living only
for himself, and unsociable. A man
with a tongue both long and broad Is
a person who is in~consequent, and a
man with a long n narrow tongue
does not treat truth seriously. A short
and broad tongue is the sure mark OF
a liar and boaster, and a tongue. with
a point betrays a man OF a~cuteness,
and n who employs sharp m bitter
methods OF speech.
= Glossology' might be usefufly intro
duced into drawing rooms to replace
character reading from handwriting
and the, usual forms of palmistry.
It is the opinion Of a great medical
authority here that the tongue OF q
g~lossologist would show distinctly that
lhe was a charlatan or an idiot.
