A LIVING SNUFFBOX.

For Louis XVIII.

There have been snuffboxes of gold
studded with jewels, of delicately
carved tortoise shell, filigree silver,
porcelain, ivory, mother-of-pearl, hum
BILE horn, wood and tin, but there is
only one living snuffboX on record,
and that was the particular luxury of
Louis XvIiI. of France.
"His majesty's snuffbox," as she
was known throughout Europe, was
Nine. du Cayla, a fascinating favor
lite at the Bourbon court. Her place at
table was always at the monarch's
left hand, and when during the course
of the meal he slgnified his desire for
pinch of brown powder TO titillate
his fat nose she took diamond crust
ed box from her pocket, busted just
the right quantity of perfumed snuff
on her snowy right shoulder and pre-
sented it to the king, who partook of
it with profound pleasure.
AS Louis was the greatest snuff
taker at court where everybody
snuffed constantly. Nine. du Cayla's
position was no sinecure, but the hui
man snuffbox was well paid for in
dulging the king in his little fad. He
presented her with a copy of Roy

After this has been done, to secure
good results, the surface treated should
be closed to all traffic for about twelve
hours so as to give the tar an Oppor-
tunity to thoroughly sink in the sur
face. Next a coat of clean sand or
stone chips should be applied to absorb
any excess tar and dry up the surface,
as 1t were. The road should then be
rolled thoroughly to bring it into con-
dition.
In applying the tar in new construc-
ton the road should be formed and
consolidated without the use of water.
The voids should be filed with fine
stone chips free from dust. and care
must be taken not TO roll the surface
too heavily or the tar will not adhere
properly. Hot tar may be applied
through all of the courses as they are
ibid and rolled, but occasionally the
upper course only is so treated. After
tarring. top dressing of material Is

Although the problem of dust pre-

means a new one, its importance has
been greatly accumulated by the COM
paratively recent introduction of the
automobile, says the Scientific Amer
lean. The dust raising tendency of
the latter is due to the destructive
shearing action of the tires of the driv-
ing wheels and the intense suction
and eddying producing effect Of the car
body in passing swiftly over surfaces
which have been already loosened up
by tire action. In the days of the
horse drawn vehicle the iron shoes of

Of the automobile, however, has COM
plicated the problem greatly. and It
has become Necessary not merely to
find more efficient means for laying
the dust, but to provide also method
of road construction which will more
firmly bind the road material together
and enable 1t to stand up under the
extreme conditions which the automo-
bile has imposed.
The most valuable quality in any
dust preventive is its ability to hold

are coal tar. refined coal tar and water
gas tar. They may be used effectively
either by applying them to road al
ready finished or by Incorporating them
in the surface material Of the road
during construction. In applying the
tar to an old road the surface should
be thoroughly dry, comparatively warm
and free from dust.
Moisture prevents the tar from
proper contact with the stone, and a
cold surface stiffens the material and
prevents its being absorbed. Before
the application is made ruts and hol-
lows should be filed and the surface
brought up to smooth and even con-
dition. The tar. heated to about 100
