SOME OLD PAVINGS
RECORDS OF QUEER MATERIALS
THAT HAVE BEEN USED.
Tombstones Sometimes Employed In
England for the Purpose-GIass
Used on French Street-Ex.
travagance Of Monarch.

Tombstones are not infreQuently
employed in different parts Of England
for paving purposes. Some four or
five years ago the Inhabitants Of Bel
voir bitterly protested against the use
Of such material in the construction Of
road leading to the parish church,
despite the assurances Of the local
authorities that with the liberal sup
ply Of old and broken gravestones at
their disposal the plan had been
adopted with view to saving the tax
payers quite O sum.
In Lyons, France, the celebrated Rue
de la RepubliQue is paved with glass
blocks eight inches square, which
have been so precisely fitted together
as to make them absolutely water
tight. Compressed grass, 1t is claimed,
has been used in the construction of
pavements in German towns and with
admirable results, and in Russia COM
pressed paper has been utilized for a
similar purpose.
Many interesting instances Of indi-
vidual eccentricity or extravaganza in
the selection Of material for paving
may be cited. 1t Is related that when
Macmillan Emanuel succeeded to the
throne of Bavaria he celebrated the
event by causing one Of the roads
leading to his palace to be paved with
plates of Furnished copper. This,
cleaning In the sunshine, gave all the
effect of gold.
Louis XIV, 1t is said, paved one Of
the courts at Versailles with, squares
of silver, each of which had recorded
upon 1t some triumph of the French
arms. In the center of the court stood
large tablet of gold In representation
Of the luxurious monarch's favorite
emblem, the sun. Memoirs of the time
of Louis make mention of lodge
erected In honor of Louise de la Val
liere. The approach was paved with
mirrors, wherein was painted an ale
CORY setting forth the undying devo.
ton Of Louis.
An eccentric nObleman of Milan con-
ceived the idea of paving the court
yard Of his palace with slabs OF
marble, granite and other stone, each
from different land. 1t is said that
Europe, America, Asia, Africa and
Australia all contributed to make up
this quaint mosaic, composed of more
than a thousand pieces, every one OF
which was suitably inscribed with the
name Of the country or state whence
1t came.

Navajo Therapeutics.

The Medical Council, medical
magazine Of Philadelphia, in an article
by DR.. Basil A. Warren, who is in
charge of the United States govern
ment hospital at Leupp, Ariz., de-
scribed some of the methods employed
by the Navajo Indians in the treat
ment Of diseases. The Navajos have
a strong belief In demons or evil spir-
it's and think that when body Is bur-
led care must be taken to cover
up all tracks of those who left the
grave so that the demons attending
the burial could not follow them to
their hogan-the hogan Is the rude
hut of the Indians-and do them harm.
The chief measures used In treating
disease are singing, dancing and in
vocations. The singing idea Is much
in favor and might perhaps be adopt
ed by civilization in some cases to the
exclusion of less palatable potiOns.
Certain songs are specific for certain
diseases, but the song to be effective
must be sung without single error.
These songs are not to be sung by
quacks or irregulars, and to keep out
such practitioners the regular profess
sion employs language which is not
understood by any but themselves, a
dead. language which the Indians be-
lieve was spoken by "the ancient holy
people"

OUT WITH THE FAULTFINDERl
Is Everywhere and Has Elk.
listed Always.

Fhe worlds greatest nuisance is the
faultfinder, for he is conspicuous ev-
erywhere, John A. Sleicher observes
in Leslie's. He does not hide his light
under bushel nor speak In a whis-
per. His mission is to be seen and
heard.
The Creator In six days made the
universe, and when II was finished de-
clared that the work was good. Yet,
since its creation, the world has been
full of faultfinders, who do not think
1t is good enough for them.
The popularity of the habitual fault
finder is that he has no reason to find
fault. He disturbs the serenity Of
those who are happy and who would
enjoy peace and contentment but for
him.
Nothing satisfies the Pathfinder and
no era has been free from his tantaliz-
ing presence. The faultf1nders exas-
perated Moses on the mount until he
dashed to pieces the stone tables in
scribCd with the first written laws
Of God. But the Ten Commandments
remain the law Of God and man.
The Pathfinder is the bane Of the
family circle. He undermines affec-
ton, destroys peace and breeds discon-
tent. He Is the fly In the ointment,
the unwelcome intruder. He makes
the task of the genuine reformer
more difficult.
He blocks the path of progress. He
cumbers the statutes with unnecessary
and unavoidable laws. He dictates de-
structve policies to those In authority
and makes them cover before his vitri-
Ollie tongue, his poisonous pen and pes
tiferous persistence.
No church has been without its fault
finders, no social organization; no
shop, factory or office, and no move
ment for the public good is exempt
from his intrusion.
The Pathfinder is found everywhere,
scattering the seeds Of distrust, poi.

listen, marshaling the forces of unreal

Must Not Love Employers Daughters

IF we both love each other, surely
your father will agree to our mar
riage," urged a wistful and eager
swain to the eldest daughter Of a
merchant In Berlin.
"He will kill you, mine liebling,"
replied the lady. "Wait till the war
is over, and you and 1 will have more
money"
This part Of conversation came out
In the evidence adduced at q trial
before the Industrial arbitration court
Of Berlin, at which young man sued
his employer for damages for Illegal
dismissal, holding that he was sent out
Of the works at moments notice by
the employer on his learning that the
plaintiff was counting his daughter
The court took the view that he
was undermining the happiness of his
employers family" and decided the
case against him.
"But does not love always upset
someone's happinessT replied the
prosecutor.
The court looked gravely at the
questioner, but deigned no reply.

replaced by the prizes won in these
contests.

MANDATE MADE
VERY SIMPLE
By Which Re-establishment
of Republic is Formally
Announced.

Peking, June 80, Correspondence
of The Associated Press)-President
Lii Yuan lungs official mandate an
nouncing his assumption Of the presi-
dency in succession to Yuan Shi-Kai,
was extremely simple and brief. 1t
lacked the pomp and verbosity so
common to the documents prepared
by students of the Chinese classics.
TIE mandate expressed Ii Yuan
lungs sorrow at the death Of Yuan
Shi-Kai, and pleaded for unanimous
support of Chinese officials and
Chinese public in solving the diff
cultes of the Chinese republic
The full text Of the mandate fol-
lows: ''Yuan-hung assumed the office
of president on this the 7th day Of
the 9Th month. Realizing his lack of
virtue, he is extremely solicitous lest
something may miscarry. His single
aim will be to adhere strictly to law
for the consolidation of the republic,
and the moulding Of the country into
a really constitutionally administered
country. May all officials and people
act in sympathy with this idea and
with united soul and energy fulfill the
part that is lacking in him. This is
his great hope.
"The present general situation is
