LAYING OUT A ROAD.
Billings Was In No Hurry, So tho Work
Was Done RIGHT.


A good many years ago @. X. G. Bill
lings, who made his millions in Chi
cago gas, bought good sized plot of
ground on the heights overlooking the
Hudson river at the upper end of Man
haitian Island Some time later he put
I'D a house which still remains the
pride of seeing New York" guides.
When the land had been bought the
question arose as to the best means of
laying out roadway up the steep and
rocky hill, at the crest of which the
house was to stand. Mr.. Billings was
puzzled. He wanted to make 1t as easy
a climb as he could. He mentioned the
problem to his friend w. @. Muschen-
helm, a New York hotel proprietor. Mr..
Muschenheim. who was familiar with
the hills and dales of that part of New
York. gave the following advice:
you aren't in any great hurry, so
why don't you have it done right? Put
one of your cows on that land and give
her time to lay out n path up that hill.
Trust her to find the easiest and most
comfortable grade"
Mr.. Billings followed the suggestion.
and in the course of time the COW
made a path which has long. since been
developed into a permanent. winding.

Hindu Caste.

The four grades of society among the
Hindus are the Brahmans or sacerde-
tai class, who are said at the moment
of creation to have issued from the
mouth of Brahma; the Kshatrya or
Chuttsee or military class, sprung from
the arm of Brahma: the Vaisya or Bais
or mercantile class. from the thigh Of
Brahma. and Sudras or Sooders or
servne class. from the foot Of Brahma.
The business of the Sudras is to serve
the three superior classes. more espe-
cially the Brahmans. Their condition
is never to be improved. They are not
to accumulate property and are unable
by any means to approach the dignity
of the higher classes. These divisions
are hereditary, impossible and indie
feasible.

The Way NV" Came to Take the Place
Of the Old "VV."

Of the Old wv"
The printers and language makers OF
the latter part Of the sixteenth cen
tury began to recognize the fact that
there was a sound in spoken English
which was without representative in
the shape of an alphabetical sign or
character. as in the first sound in the
word wet"
Prior to that time it had always been
spelled AS vet" the having the long
sound Of or of two us together In
order to convey an idea of the new
sound they began to spell such words
as wet" weather" web" etc. with
two us, and as the u of that date was
a typical the three words above look
ed like this: wet" weather" /"
''Vveb."
After awhile the typefounders recog-
nized the fact that the double u had
come to stay. so they joined the two us
together and made the character now
so we'll known as W. There are books
in which three forms of the w are Civ
en-. The first is an old double WV:
the next is one in which the last stroke
Of the first V crosses the first stroke Of

SUMMER RESORT and CITY are LINKED TOGETHER BY TELEPHONE

Telephone service, linking together city and country and shore
is never more appreciated than during the summer months.
While the business man is confined to his desk in the city, the
telephone keeps him in touch with wife and family, though they
may be many miles away, surmering at some pleasant resort
During his own vacation the business man relies upon the tele.3
phone. He is free from care, for he knows that ne can pc reached
at one bv telephone should important matters require his attention.
At the vacation home also, the telephone proves so convenient
in arranging games and outings with friends and ordering sup

All this is possible because Bell Telephone service is universal
