been employed for paving purposes
in various parts of the world An
Italian nobleman had the courtyard
of his palace paved with slabs Of
marble, granite and other stone,
every one of which had been brought
from a different land, Europe, Asia,
Africa, America and Australia, all
furnishing materials for this curious
mosaic, which was composed Of more
than five hundred pieces, each en-
graved with the name of the coun-
try whence it came.
One Made of Glass
The famous Rue de la Republique,
in Lyons, is laid in glass blocks,
eight inches square, which are so
symmetrically fitted together as to
prevent the entrance of water be-
tween the interstices.
Louis XIV had one Of the courts
Of his palace at Versailles paved
with squares Of silver, each of which
recorded some triumph Of the
French arms. These surrounded a
large tablet of gold, in the center
of which the sun-that monarch's s
emblenl-was represented. Another
court of this royal dwelling was
paved with slabs of jasper and of
agate. For the love of his youth,
Louise de Valliere, Louis caused to
be constructed lodge Of which the
approach was paved with mirrors
painted with an allegory represent
ing the undying quality OF his love.
Tombstones have been employed in
Nottinghamshire, Derbyshire, Lin
colnshire and Lcicestershire, England,
for purposes of paving, and some
years ago the inhabitants of the
Vale of Belvoir raised vehement
protest against such stones being
used as a pathway leading to the
parish church. The local authori-
ties, however, sought to justify the
measure on the ground that there
were plenty of old gravestones on
hand, which, if used, might result in
saving of taxes.
There is also said to exist a pave
ment at Gwadfu, Africa, in the
making of which thousands of hu-
man skulls are alleged to have been
employed.

lost their fortunes, and he sought to
do what he could for them," he said.
Insist on the Romance
Nevertheless, there are others who
.HE sidewalks and pave
ments of the world vary
Il as much in character as do
the neOnle who have nnada

thenl-broad or narrow, straight or
handsome, or rugged and uneven.
Indeed, it has been said that "the
street is the expression of the city,"
an accurate indication Of the genius
of its people.
TO the American, accustomed to
the wide and crowded thorough
fares of his city, it is surprising
that there should be any towr where
the sidewalks are private property.
Such, however, is the case in many
towns of Holland. There it is ex
pected that one will not walk upon
them unless he crosses from curb to
sill when he enters a house. The
first floor windows in these Dutch
town houses are for the most part
screened with netting, and the mar
row sidewalks in front of them are
Of brick, as carefully scrubbed as the
step itself. The pedestrians walk
just beyond the curb, on the we'll
paved roadway of small, round
stones.
End in Canals
In cities of Importance IN Hol-
land there is regularly defined
footway, but, as in The Hague and
Rotterdam, where an elaborate net
work of canals is interviewer with
the streets, running like web and
woof through the city, the pedes-
trian is often halted by a draw
bridge rising abruptly in front Of
him and the sidewalk is blocked by
. brown curtain which proves to be
the colored sail of -chooner
threading its way into the midst of
tha city.
In Amsterdam the canals often
run through the middle of the
streets, shaded by long avenues of
trees.
When certain transatlantic steam
ers enter the port of Havre they
sail directly in from the harbor to
the very center Of the city, and
alongside this masonry canal runs
a picturesque street inhabited by
tishermen's families. Tall, six story

Built Under Arcades

In many Swiss towns the side
walks are under arcades The port
ly, cream-colored masonry houses
are build out to the curb. The
Street of the Clock Tower in Berne
is alive with business. The houses
are vereered with plaster and have
wide jutting caves like cap visors.
In the center of the street is deep
gutter with swift running fresh
water. Outside the arcades are
numerous booths, where are sold
fruits, flowers, clothing and furni-
ture. Under these cool, shady
arcades are the paved sidewalks,
which in summer are thronged with
tourists. On the inner side may be
seen most attractive pastry shops,
where may be had Swiss honeycake
and chocolate. Other shops display
porcelains, carved clocks and music
boxes.
Chester, in England, has in some
of its streets sheltered sidewalks
similar to the Swiss sort, but they
are even more curious than the
Swiss, since instead of being on a
level with the roadway they are
raised to the second floor, as if they
were cut through the front rooms
of the houses, which stand in rows.
In Thun, a quaint old Swiss town,
there are sidewalks that are elevated
flight above the ground, but these
are built out from the houses, so
that the shop windows and front
doors open upon tkAm. Pedestrians

Of them is thronged with hardy Nor

rattle the cabs, whose drivers seek
fares among the passengers on deck
but a few feet away from them.
So from the deck it seems as if one
looked out from a house window
directly down on this quaint sea-

SOUTH AMBOY, April S0:-Pigs
and war formed the principal part of
the discussion at the meeting of the
Bos-d of Health IN the city hall last
night. The question was brought mp
concerning issuing more licenses TO
keep pigs within the city limits. The
health inspector was of the opinion
that the resolution originally adopted
by the board was overruled. Upon
looking into the files of the board It
was found hat such permission was
granted until the declaration of peace
and one year thereafter. The ques-
tien then came up IL the country was
at war or at peace-if so when and If
not, why. Although It was pointed
out that several war time measures
OF national Importance have been re-
pealed the board of health decided to
continue under their war time pro-
gram. Under this program the
health inspector has the right to
grant permits to keep pigs within the
city limits provided they r properly
housed and do not commit q nuis-
ance.

scented by Mr.. Tomaszewski.
