disappointing and shows that very
poor count was made. We are quite
sure that "a close and correct count

consolation lies ia the fact, however,
that the bigness OF the town does
not lie with the census enumerator.

Where are the loves of yesterdays
Sad and sweet is the old refrain;
Horace sang OF il half in play;
Yillon, in measures that throb with
pain;
Life at the best is a tangled skein.
We are the tools Of time and chance !;
Yet once on time we lived In Spain,
And every heart has its old romance.
Where are the loves Of yesterday
All, for an hour Of youth again
Youth that was short as a month of
May,
Youth with It's pulsing blood and

Too soon came autumn with mist and

Too brief the dream, too short the
dance;
Yet once on time we lived in Spain,
And every heart has its old romance.
Where are the loves Of yesterday
Here Is note with a yellow stain,
And here in a book withered spray
OF sweet alyssum for years has lain.
But why regretl All things must

Yet once on time we lived IN Spain,
And every heart has its old romance.

creosote for Wood Blocks.

The average engineer who is looking
for what is really best in street paving
is greatly confused these days by the
contradictory statements made by vari-
Gus experts and engineers who have
studied the question concerning treat
ment of wood paving blocks A certain
creosote, or composition consisting large
ly of creosote, has been recommended
by the Association for Standardizing
Paving Specifications and these recon
mendations are vigorously attacked by
others as calling for a substance which
furnishes a less satisfactory pavement
than would pure or lighter weight creo
sote, it being also claimed that the ma
terial called for is a monopoly. 1t would
seem as though either of these claims,
and especially the latter, might easily
be proved or disproyed; but so far neil
ther side seems to have proved its case
conclusively. As commercial interests
are asserted by each side to influence
the other in its decision, it would seem
as though some authority above suspi
cion. such as the u. S. government,
should step in and make a thorough
investigation of the subject. On page
$50 of this issue we give the results OF
certain government experiments, but this
appears to us to be by no means con
elusive. The blocks were treated, not
with different grades of cTeosote, but
with separated fractions of ereosote, the
experiments themselves indicating that
what is true Of each fraction is by no
means true Of the same material when
in combination with the other fractions.

NJ. Fletcher of Cavendish shows that he
has had his finger on the public pulse for
some time, inasmuch as the people of
Vermont are disguised with methods
which he deplores. What is more, when
the proper time comes, Mr.. Fletcher
ought to make public his entire expense
account in connection with running for
the office; and he ought to make such
announcement in due season before the
Republican state convention assemblies
to make selection for governor. The
examples set by candidates for the higher
offices in Massachusetts in the last cleo
ton are worth copying That Mr.. Fetch
er is reckoned very wealthy man
should have no bearing, however, in the
demand that he make public his expense
account. All the candidates, rich or poor,
are expected to do the same thing, and
the man who doesn't is bound to ALLEVIATE
a certain measure of confidence.
