By passing all the gravel through the sand and clay are removed and the large stones broken by the one opera- tion.

As pre- nously pointed out, it should be clean. free from sand and clay, since it is the stone, not the earthy materials which are needed on the road.

I_£_tl:_1e Road divisions or “beats" should be from three to five miles in length. A pathmaster should be a permanent of- ficer, and his division should be such that the most of his travel will lead him over the greatest portion of it. He need not receive a salary. but should, as a slight recompense, be pre- ferred in doing small jobs under the supervisor, where the work is not con- sidered of sufficient importance to be let by contract. He should, in ad- dition, give special attention to all PATHMASTERS. There are men in every township who are capable of taking the oversight of road-construction, but the system of changing the pathmasters every one or two years is not likely to produce men who are well qualified in this respect. Appointed in the spring, the pathmast- er has no time to make a study of the subject such as it demands. Nor is the fact that he will he succeeded by some one else as pathmaster the following year an encouragement to effort in this direction. should be awarded to the lowestbidder if proper security is given, but the work should be subject to the approv- al of the supervisor and all accounts should be certified by him before pay- ment. should be given to any ratepayer hav- ing material for sale.

In searching for gravel, the clearesc lindications are usually to be found along the banks of streams, where any extensive strata is apt to be exposed. . A post-hole auger affords a convenient :means of making tests over the sur- lface of the soil for gravel, but the best implement is generally a simple |forrn of drill. There are cases in which gravel beds may be entered at lthe level of a stream bed. and water ins thereby obtained for washing the .metal by natural drainage, affording ;a cheaper means of freeing it from f Sand and earthy matter than by screen- ; lng.

When we consider the number of pits in some townships and their immense size, re- presenting that thousands of loads have been taken out, and then consider the short mileage gravelled, we must readi- ly see that something in the quality of material and the mode of construction is radically wrong.

PROVIDING FOR AN EMERGENCY THE LILY. In England our calla lily is called the arumâ€"lily. It is not a "lily" at all, but it is an arum, and the regal queen of its familyâ€"the family to which the Jack-in-the-Pulpit or Indian turnip of our forests is allied. In Australia the calla is such a pest as the .water hyacinth is in Florida; it chokes up the irrigating channels by its rapid grow- th and requires vigorous measures to subdue. Another flower called a lily, which has no right, save that of long usuage, to the name, is the lily, of the valley. In medieval times the monks said these little flowers, the simplest of the Simple were the “lilies of the field,” which our Lord said were more splendidly arrayed than Solomon in all his glory. “But since then wise men have squabbled over the phrase and the flower to such purpose that they have come to no conclusion but it is more than likely that the plant on which the Saviour’s eye chanced to fall was eith- er the crownâ€"imperial, or the marta- gon, or an amaryllisâ€"each of them flowers of sumptuous coloring and all natives of Palestine. It certainly could not have been the modest bell of the lily of the valley, for it is not the least like a king in his glory, nor, what is more conclusive, does it grow wild in the Holy Land. sir,” saidvâ€"t'hé s: 13'. who was not . “I have had two teeth extracted within a year,” said the old traveling man. “and I never noticed the cold- ne$§_you speak of.” “No,” repliel the traveling man, looking up at the ceiling, “1 took gas." away somewhat he was dilate on it. as men Wi the particularsâ€"first att' said. what his wife said, marked that lie MB” *“ tists something tiavey did "The infernal min of [must be . yery unobservant, LL- _ Noticed the Cold-m ml 8 ch’s, We take this Opportunity of thanking our customers for past patronage, and we are convinced that the new system will merit a continuance of the sarne We beg to inform our customers and the public generally that we have adopted the Cash System, which means Cash or its Equiv alent, and that our motto will be “ Large Sales and Small Profits.” men will.
