Battle W ith a Mr.*ti*o on • Chimney 250 Feet High. “Every t.rno I coo n tall chimney/’ salt] an fciyK.-hman, ‘ I am remind­ ed of a thrilling affair that ha* England, my ‘birthplace, A “50 foot chimney had just been com­ pleted, nnd two hrichmasons only were loft on tho top to put tho fin­ ishing touches on it. Both of them were big men. One of them, a fel­ low of gigantic strength, went sud­ denly insane just as the last bit of work was done on the chimney, and his companion looked on with hor­ ror while "the maniac deliberately cut away the rope ladder leading from the top of the chimney to tho ground. “The maniac no sooner did this than he turned to his companion and calmly announced that he was going to throw him over the side of the chimney to the ground. They closed, and a terrific protracted struggle ensued. The workmen down below had seen the rope lad­ der when it struck the ground, and they knew at once.that something was wrong with the two men at the top. “They got away from the chim­ ney at a sufficient distance to see what was going on up at the top, and they witnessed the frightful en­ counter between the two men. The maniac frequently by pure strength got his companion over to the very edge of the chimney. Every time he did this the sane man would mus ter up all of his force and push the madman hack. The hand to hand battle went on for hours, while a company of firemen down below were endeavoring to shoot a line over he chimney by means of a rocket cannon. Finally the san^ man got a certain hold on the mad­ man and broke the latter’s arm. Then the maniac lay quiet, “After hours of aiming the fire­ men managed to get a line over the chimney, which the exhausted brick- mason, almost 'all out* from his ter­ rible struggle with the insane man, grabbed. Then he drew up the Tope ladder, fastened-it and came down to the ground, sinking into a semicomatose condition from which he did not emerge for days, “Two firemen volunteered to go up the rope ladder after the maniac. They had nearly reached the top of the chimney when the insane man *$$FI«qr wSp-eSi INI Suggestions to Supervisors the Care of Highways, on SIMPLE BUT USEFUL DON’TS, walked over to the edge, looked around quietly for a minute or so, paying no attention to the cries of his rescuers, and .then dived head­ foremost, to the ground. He was probably dead before he struck the earth, and he was picked up a shape­ less muss.”—Exchange. ' R*markable Clalrvoyenoy. When people are determined to find evidence to convince them of a thing they are hound to believe there is'never any lack of it: A cer­ tain man who accepted as true, the pretensions of a charlatan who claimed to be able to tell the past history, character and future of any person from his handwriting said ©no day to a friend: "Why, look at the things he is able to tell you from a mere glimpse at^ your handwriting! Tho first thing lie said to me was, ‘I seo you never took a prize in orthography while you were at school/ and it was true.” “Did he give you any idea how he knew that?” “He -said ho could tell it merely from the way in which I had made tho curves of the letters g and h in the word'bandwrighting!’ ” Not Quito Clear. Mr. David could not be called stupid, He Was Tatker slow, and added to this deficiency, his tongue had a way of getting mixed up, Hot every one understood this, and as a result the poor fellow got into many complications. One day he was making a perfunctory call on a lady with whom he had little in common, He got up to go. “I’ve enjoyed your society very much, Mr, David,” said the lady. “1 hope you will come to see me again soon.” "I’ve enjoyed my visit, too,” he said. ,el don’t know when I ’ve en­ joyed one before”-— “Mr. David!” * He thought a minute. “I didn’t mean that,” lie added. “I meant that I don’t know when I ’ve enjoyed a visit here ns I have enjoyed this one.”—Youth’s Companion.

The canine specimen did not a pear in any way remarkable, but L_ had n value. “Yes, sir,” boasted the hotel proprietor, “that dog’s the best rat eatehin’ dog in the state.” Even os he spoke two big rats scur­ ried across the office floor, The dog merely wrinkled his nose. “Rat dogl” scoffed tho traveling man, “Look at that, will you?” “Iluh!" snorted tho landlord.

In Good Condition and Avoid Troubla. ■Don’t Ba Satisfied, Ha Bays, With Anything but tho Best, Excellent advice on the care and construction of roads Is contained In the following cet of suggestions to, road supervisors, which were compiled hy Robert A. Meeker, state super­ visor of roads In New Jersey; Don't leave grass and weeds on the shoulders and In the gutters, Don’t dig the m ud out of the gutters and throw it upon the road. Don’t leave dirt In piles on the road. Don’t throw grass and weeds upon the road surface. Don’t dump Btone or gravel on an old road without first preparing tho surface to receive it, because you thereby cause willful waste and woeful want. Don't place new material on the road without leveling and shaping It so that the grade and cross section of the road will be unchanged. ) Don’t expect travel to spread and roll the new material. One-half of the money spent is wasted by this method. Don't put now material on an old hard road snrfaCe before first picking or loosening, the old covering. It is good for the qunrryman and gravel owner, but bad for the taxpayer and road user. Don’t try to do work without proper tools. Don’t leave your scarifier In the shed. ' Don't forget to use yoqr sprinkling wagon. Don’t let your steam roller be idle. Don’t think any old, tools are good enough for road work. Don’t use dull picks, broken shovels, dull scraper blades or broken and leaky steam rollers. Don’t waste your rainy days. Don’t let water stand on your road. Don’t try to: repair a road In dry weather without a liberal use of water, A. noADTiKFTTOVAX* 0£UE OP IrfUU,F. Don’t allow culverts or pipes to be­ come choked Up, Don’t allow the outlets of uiider- dralns to become stopped up. Don’t let. water get under a road. Don't let ruts form. Don’t let tho road lose its original cross section. * , Don’t lot the shoulders get higher than the center of the road. Don’t fail to widen your fills a t every opportunity. No better place for the mud, grass and weeds taken oil the road than on tho sides of high em­ bankments. Don’t use guard rails if you can get dirt to widen your road. Don’t bury a stone road under mud. Don’t crown your road so high that no one will travel on the sides. Don’t forget that tho entire width Of tho road is intended for use. Don’t expect a road to take care o f itself. Don’t fall to locate nil good repair material lying on or near tho road. . Don’t wait until you are ready to go to work before you procure the neces­ sary materials for repair. Don’t be constantly changing ybur road gang. Don’t let experienced men go simply to give some ono a job. Don’t lose sight of the fact that road repairing Is a trado and must be learned. Don’t guess at tho amount of mate­ rial required. Measure and know. Don’t depend on some one else to tell you what tho condition of your roads Is. Don’t fail to visit every road under your care a t least once a week. Don’t refuse to try any new mate­ rial that may be offered unless the same has been proved bad. Don’t think there is nothing more to be learned about road building. Don’t forget that nobody knows it nil. Don’t tbink because you do not bear the comments that your work is not being praised or criticised, as the case may be. Don’t look down on your work. Don’t lose sight of the fact that good roads are one of the grentest factors I the development of any country. Don’t forget that churches an schools cannot thrive without geo roads.
