Several weeks ago the department of iriccltare began its tint experiment roadbuildiug at New Brunswick, J., under the direction of E. B. irrison, special agent of the office of Ad inquiry. The model mad being considered if e first of several which the governBnt is to build at the varioni experiant stations throughout the country, le government furnishes a rock crush , screen, engine to drive steam roller, reading wagon and road grading maine and two skilled operators. The iy furnishes the material, carts and borera. The road will be of macadam pattern. m infarin* orniia nf tranrork is found abundance near New Brunswick and is ia being used in the substructure the road. The superstructure ia obLned from the trapxock deposits in e neighborhood of P la infield and the angea. The model pavement will have a pth of abont nine inchea and the fountion be made of smull, wedge shaped, oken stones of ma nearly the same dienaiona aa possible. The roadbed will prepared by thoroughly rolling with iteam roller weighing abont ten torn, rery bole will be carefnlly filled with e same material that oomposes the st of the roadbed, and the finished Ma section will be formed by two adea of one foot in 30 feet from the lea, uniting at the center, with the ex alightly rounded. Four inches of ashed atone will be spread on the refnlly prepared roadbed to form the andation of the substructure. The rgest of these stones will be crushed fine as to be sble to easily pass rough a two inch ring, and the smallt will be about half an inch in diam sr. This foundation will then be sprined, snaking ihe stone as wet aa po&si9 without softening tbe roadbed, and e roller passed over it a few times itil tbe stone is only slightly disturbed ' tbe teams returning with the empty rts. Tbe first foundation is not made eper tban four inches, because it has en found that a greater thickness uses the stones to "elbow" together, wring off their sharp corners, making e "bonding;" which is the great deleratum, a very slow prooess, if not i impossibility. When the first foundation has been ' orougbly sprinkled, a second coat of nilar stone tbiee inches in thickness 111 be applied. After the stone baa en well "bonded" to this extent it will ;ain be sprinkled, and while very wet thin coating of traprock screenings . ill be most carefully spread over tbe rfaoe, just thick tuoogh to fill tbe iall spaoes between tbe stones. Tbe ce of tbe stones of this last applicasn, which is called in the parlance of adbuilding tbe "binder," will be , am half an inch in diameter to the lest dust When the work boa reached ia ftage, it will be left untouched in e dry state aa long aa practicable to ' rden and bind. The application of iter and the passage of vehicles will prevented aa long aa practicable. Am the work progresses Mr. E.

Nearly SO years ago General Grant, enumerating necessary lines of pub) improvements, named the publio boo Is and highways. Once, when be d General Sheridan were in a remittent mood, the old commander said "Little Phil," speaking of the latter's mous ride to the battle of Oedar ieek: "Sheridan, if that battle had ken plaoe after a prolonged rain and ere had not been a good pike from inohester, you would never have been omoted to the head of the United ates army. Ton would not have reach i the battlefield to obeer your men, id there would have been a great dfrit for the Union forcea instead of a eat victory.

Aug. *t. j The two tblngn that Interest ell the people >11 the time, era love and life. Love Interest* that bell of the world who are young and haj>py; bow to live long Interests the otber The yeamlng for llta Is the strongest desire oi human nature; U ootluNt* love, wealth, beauty, ambition, health and everything else oo enrth. If it were not so. all tbedlnsapolot* ed people, the poor people, the slrk people, the old people, would kill themselves. Ill* not the fear of dealb wblcb keeps people from killing them^elvoM, but tbe love of life. Ask the oldest, most miserable, most diseased, moat deaplaed man you know. If be want* to die. and he will anawer no, or tell a lie. Home old people say they are willing to .<i? if it la (init'i will 'hnl that la only a Dlnua way of telling tbe name lie. They don't want to die, and they do want to live; tbey would do anything, give anything, take Anything, for a few more yearn of life. The love of life waa breathed Into ua by the plrlt of (Jod; It la tbe ?park ol Immorality which cannot be quenehed. Jeaua CbrUt, aa well aa tbe prophet* of old, tella oa that death la the laat enemy to be conquered ; hut tbat It ball be conquered In the end, there la no doubt to lho?e who believe. I do not Intend to preach a nermon, hut aome neb preface to a letter from a place where they are fighting dlaeaae and death, la not out of place. Italtle Creek la a queer little Michigan town.nentled in among tbe great lakea.

Hot It la not of Battle Creek aa a cltv, that I K?t oat to write aboat, but ol Battle Creek an the Mecca of InvalIda, and centre ot a great reform movement In health and medical practice. Home 40-odd yeara ago, a band of Mlllerltea who bad been dlaaapolnted that tbe eecond coming of Cbrlat did not take place according to program, formed themaelvea Into a religeoua aoclety called Heventh-Day Adventlats. Tbla waa tbe beginning of tba church of tbat name, and tbe flrat church ever erected by them waa erected here In Battle Creek. Tbla In tbe bead and center of tbe faith. Joat aa Boaae la of tbe Catholic church. Tbe Adventlata Interpret Herlptare literal Ijr; but 1 am not going to toucu anon meir creed further than concerns what I waot to tell tbe people at home about, and that la how they combine tbelr religion with their aol?nee of healing. Nevertheleaa, I must *ay lo passing, thai It ta very pleasant In theae day* of " higher criticism " to be among people who believe everything In tbe Bible, from Oeneala.to Revelations, and live right up to It. Now theae Adventlsta, with their Iron-Hadfaith, tbe Bible, have envolved something that Interests the world far more than whether one should go to ebureb oo the seventh or the first day of tbe week, and that something Is what man should eat tf be wishes to live long and be happy?or healthly, which Is tba same thing. Some S years ago. Dr. J. H. Kellogg, an ardent Beventb-Day Advenilsl. and founder of Battle Creek sanitarium, began experimenting with fools. His Idea was a return to mature a return In so (ar as modern civilisation would permit, to the food on whlob the chosen people of Uod subsided for 40 yt>ars In thn Wilderness, during which time disease and old age. and death were unknown among them. We all remember that they ate no meat In tboseto vearsand finally when thev began to lust after the flesh pots of Kgypi, and Uod sent them meal, disease and death came with It. The underlying principle of I)r. Keliogg's experiments was thit through the eating of the Mesh of anlmala. dlseaxe Is Introduced Into tbe human system, and he went lo work to prove by practice and by aclet ce, that his belief was a (act.
