ROAD -MAKING.
Bnouisxrzs FOR REHMANHNCM.-Id order
to make and maintain permanent road-
way, two rules must be followed :
1. Take the water oub.
2. Keep the water out.
UNDEBDBAINING.-where a road In to
be constructed on a wet and retentive
soil, a perfect system of underdraiaing
must be provided. This ie beet done by
nutting ditches diagonally across the
roadbed with dieoharge into side ditobes.
These diagonal ditches shonld have a
good fall and good outlet and should he
from 1.8 inches to two feet deep and about
one foot wide at the bottom, with a
alight slope outward. In these should be
Laid coarse, broken stone, broken bricks
or other material suitable to form a
(lain, filling them up to the level of the
sub grade.
SunraoE DRAINIxo.-Open ditches
should be out on mob side of the roadbed
at a distance of abort twelve feet from
the outsides of the metalling. They
should be deep enough to drain the found-
ation ; at least 18 inches below the sub
grade.
MAI FnEFERARLE.-Where tile is cheap
and a good outlet obtainable, tile side
drains are preferable to open ditobes.
Shallow gutters should be made over the
tiles to catch the surface water and con-
duct it to catch -basins placed at con-
venient distances apart.
The eatah.
materi-
als
be made of durable m
basins should
als of sufficient size to be freely cleaned
and should be covered with iron gratings,
The basins should extend at least two
feet below the bottom of the tile •to pro-
vide space for the deposit and they should
be cleaned at least twine a year.
Tian RDADSIDE0.-The strips of ground
between the metalled road and the open
ditch should be properly graded to oon.
form with the crown and grade of the
metalling and should be seeded and kept
in sod. This will always be pleasing to
the eye, is cheap and very largely useful
in preventing the carrying of mud on to
the metalling. Moreover, the aniformity
of the grade facilitates the passing of
meeting teams.
Looarro) or Sun nnuxs,-In a soil thab
is gravelly and pervious to water, the
open ditches on each side of the road,
even of a 66.feet wide road, are sufficient
for draining tbe roadbed. If there be
any springs under the road, a sub -drain
leading directly to the side ditch will be
required. Should the road be on a eide
hill a deep open ditc1 on the upper side,
to arrest the flow from the adjacent land,
may be sufficient, the water being at
intervals conducted across and under
the road by an ordinary stone culvert.
OUTLETS. -Mistakes are often made by
giving insufficient outfalls to the drains.
Under the Ditches and Watercourses Ant
a municipality has the same power as an
individual to enforce tbe natural outlet
for the drainage water of the land. But
municipal offioers are apt to shrink from
forcing an outlet through private lands,
and to leave their rood drains with in•
sufficient outlets, rather than incur the
ill will of possibly influential constit-
uents. This should not be so. 111uniol.
polities should insist upon their rights,
and the owners of lands interfered with
should pay the same proportion of the
cost of the work as if onlyprivate indi-
viduals were concerned.
BAD DRAINAGE AND FEOST.-imperfect
drainage is the cause of the badness of
our roads in nearly all eases. The in-
experienced are not apt to appreciate the
paramount necessity for the maintenance
of a perfectly dry foundation of earth
for their surface of broken atone, gravel,
etc., to lie upon. A protracted rain will
soften all undrained road, and on the
passing of a heavy load injurious ruts are
the consequence. In these latitudes the
surface water freezes and the oonsegnent
expansions and contraotions quickly ruin
a roadbed.
DEsrnucTtvExNes or loon• -It matters
not whether the road be earth or maca-
dam if attention is not given to the
preservation of the finished crown. If
ruts are allowed to form water is admit.
ted. Every depression is a centre of de.
struction. The power of resistance to
the water becomes less and lees until the
roadway becomes actually impassable.
ROAD MACHINES. -In constructing
earth roads a plow should not be used
except where actually necessary, because
a plowed surface is only with great dif-
ficulty made hard and smooth, and the
plow is likely to not too far into the
earth. ee good road machine should be
procured if possible, for by the use of a
machine the natural foundation of the
ground is not disturbed in rounding up
the road as is done with common plows
and scrapers. Every municipality should
own a road machine and have a man
especially instructed and constantly in
(barge of it. With a road machine in
skilled hands, there will be no question
raised as to tbe economy of oonetruotion
and repairs and tbe efficiency of the
work done.
WIDTH or ROAM/MT.-The roadway
should be 26 feet between the ditobes and
the metalling for ordinary roads 8 feet
wide ; where more than a single 11110 of
travel le required the metalling should be
10 feet wide.
13810112 OT CuowN.-A. roadway of this ,
width should have It crown of at least 10
inches incl ohoilld always bo nnalntehled
in thio shape.
Boca t e, -After the toad 11004010008 has
completed Re work, the whole grade
should be rolled with a toiler weighing
about five tons Rolling le eseental ixt
making the foundation and Seaming to
form permanent of gravel roads. The
roller should follow oloeely upon the
grader or serapp80 e0 bloat tole loose earth
may be oonooiidated while it is moist.
The roller should pace many timesover
the eater pardons of the road, and where
the road is very dry and not inelined to
pack, 10 may be slightly moistened to
facilitate the consolidation of the earth,
The rolling should begin at the sides . of
the road and proceed gradually towards
the centre ; that is, the roller should be
passed from end to end along the side al
the road and then in the second pottage
the roller `should slightly lap the first
passage until the oentre of the road ie
reached.
METALLINo,-Alter the formation Of
the road and the draining are completed,
the mase of broken atone or gravel whloh
is to form its wearing endue should be
laid, poked and so ooneolldated that it
will be practically watertight. Soh a
rod will be'durable and easily maintain.
ed. It will shed water readily,, ItS hard-
ness will prevent the formeMen of ruts,
which is the first stage of destruction,
WooTH or TxnEo.-If ail wagons need
in country roads could be provided with
tires four inches wide, they tvopldroll the
surface more smoothly and more quickly,
and the road would he in fairly good
condition all tbo year round.
Noxious WEEns.-Chapter 202, 10.5,0.,

people who are unacquainted with the
"sweating system" of tailoring to know
something of tide life -destroying, soul -
paralyzing paraeite which to auoh a
shameful diagram to our Wanted nine-

All who have read "Alton Locke"
must have been struck with the misery,
loatheomness and sin, the death-in.life

of that book, The hardest heart must
Rohe with sympathy for the wretched in-
mates of those "sweating dens," where
men, women and obildren are crowded
together for months and years in entail,
low rooms, with no ventilation and no
sunlight. Waebing with consumption,
burning with fevers, eaten by Dancers,
and scourged with smallpox and cholera,
these wretched specimens of depraved
humanity drag out their small span from
cradle to grave. They have barely en-
ough food to keep body and soul together,
and often have to eat tbat pittance while
at work. The only water many of them
drink is drawn from, the sewer into which
they empty their slops, and that 10
stinking and Welt with particles of put-
rid matter.
No wonder, as Kingsley says, they
have a craving for gin to take away the
taste of the impure water.
Kingsley has written only of the Eng-
lish "sweating•dene," but they are juet
asnumerone and their oondition is just
as frightful bore in America,
From latent statistics New York has

danger :-"Down on Christian (0) street,

custom work. He is being eaten up with
a cancer. He eats, sleeps and works in
tbe one room, and the stench and dis-

and feet through long confinement to bed.
I could bobble around a little on crutches,
but was well nigh helpless. At this stage
a erootd doctor teas called in wbo deoler-
ed my trouble was spinal complaint.
Notwithstanding medical advice and
treatment I Ives sinking lower and lower,
and was regarded as incurable. I was
now in auoh a state that I was unable to
leave my bed, but determined to find a
pure if possible, and sent for -ode of the
nmostable physicians in Ottawa. I was
under his care and treatment for three
years. He blistered my baok every three
or four weeks and exerted ell his skill,
but in vain. I was growing weaker and
weaker and began to think the end zooid
not be far off. Ab Lhis juncture a friend
strongly urged me to try Dr. Williams'
Pink Pills. I yielded to hie solicitations,
and by the time six boxes of pills were
used I fotknd myself getting better, I
used in all thirty boxes, and they have)
accomplished what ten years of treatment
under physicians failed to do. Thaake
to this wonderful medicine, I am able to
attend to my duties and am as free from

expected to be. I Still nae Dr, Williams'

Mr. Arguo'e experience should convince
even the most skeptical that Dr, Williams'
Pink Pills stand far in advance of other
medicines and are ono of the greatest
discoveries of the age. There is no
