The lake of Kirknita. or of Lamenta
tion, is situated in Caniiola, Austria.
! There is not much beauty in its
eenery, hot it baa the peculiarity of at
cue tome being sheet of water and at
another a field.
The limestone, of which the bed of
this curious lake is formed, is perfl
ated with fissures, some of them as deep
as fifty feet, into which trunks of trees
and fishermen's boats have at times been :
drawn.
' Many years ago a maiden who lived
near Lake Kirkuiti, poor as a church ;

lovers who sought her hand or com- j

she had made npon him was bnt an eva

mingled with the love with which his
handsome form and gentle speech had
ixnbned her.
One day she met him and his servants
upon the spot of their first meeting.
Hilda, for snch was the name of the
girl, flung herself in his path, and with
a smile on her face and a longing look in
her eyes bade him good morrow.
The young lord, who was neither so
sober nor in so good a temper as when
he had before accosted her. ordered her
out of his path.
His words and tones were enough to
crush the hopes of the aspiring peasant
girl, bnt the loud laughter and insulting
jeers of the companions and attendants
of the yonng lord infuriated her. and
shaking her clinched hand at the noble
she cried:
, "My time will comer
The others laughed in mingled amuse
ment and derision.
"How say you. Carl?" asked one. "Is
the peasant wench mad or have yon
given her cause to fancy that one day
ahe might be the recipient of your
favors?"
' "1 was foolish enough once to notice
her. 1 believe, bnt what is she to me
more than the rest of the horde who till
the fields? By my sonl, Herbert, it were
folly for a noble to look kindly on these
low bred hinds, for if yon do so they
take it for granted that you intend some
favor to them, and persistently dog your
footsteps."

"Many times, but I never spoke to the
girl but once. It was a foolish thing to .
do, bnt I confess that I was so struck
with her beauty I could not resist the
temptation to address a few words to
her."
"And on this concession she has pre
sumed" "Yes. Go forth when I will she
throws herself in my path."
"She should prove an easy conquest,
then." laughed Herbert.
"I never thought of that," said Carl,
troking his mustache.
"She flings herself at your feet."

"But what. Carir
' "Such conduct only excites my pity.
If not my disgust."
His friend laughed,
i "Herbert," said Carl, "you are"
"Your friend," interrupted the other.
I "Say rather my tempter. Yon put
thoughts into my head that never before
entered there."
i His friend laughed again.
"Well, well, if you love the girl"
' "Nonsense, Herbert: you know that I
am affianced to the Lady Gertrude.
How then can I love a lowly born maid
en'" I Herbert shrugged his shoulders.
1 "Let us on," said Carl shortly. "The
midday meal awaits, and we shall be
late if we hurry not back to the castle."
They hastened on, and as they did so a
figure rose on the edge of the lake and
gazed after them.

half hunter in attire. He was tall of
tature and strong of limb. j

Night had come. Carl had tank to
sleep on a couch la the hall of his castle
and hie friend Herbert, heated with
wine and troubled with thoughts of the
lovely -easatit girl, had strolled on to
the ramparts-, where the moonlight
showed the lake beneath him like a silver
mirror.
Suddenly figure stood before hint,
and the young niau, with his baud upon
his sword, started back,
"Who are you?" he said.
"One who would serve you."
"Howr
"You are charmed with the beauty of
Hilda, the peasant girl, who vainly loves
your friend Carl."

j "And what do yon ask in return?"

girl with the belief that you are him she

moored to the shore."
I "It is but a simple request, I admit."
i "Then take the form of your friend.

by any one.
The young man opened the letter and
by the light of the moon read:
! "My Lord I know that 1 aspire far
beyond my station in presuming to love
one so high and noble as yourself, bnt 1
feel that I cannot live without you. Yon
can save me from ending my life if you
will meet me and speak one word of
hope and love to me on the banks of the
lake tonight at the spot where we met
this morning."
J "Very good." said Herbert. "I will
wander forth for a short time; 1 can re
enter the castle by the postern."
I The man bowed and retired.
i "Now for this jwasant beauty," mut
tered the libertine. "Pride must have
its full, and if her fall is a deep one she
will have no one but herself to blame
for it"
He left the castle by the postern and
made his way to the sKt where he had
seen Hilda in the morning.
The girl stood on the ede of the lake
gazing dowu on the mooulit waters when
his footfall struck iion her ears.
j She turned and saw him is the boom
of the convent bell struck the midnight
air.
! "Hilda!" he cried, and went toward
; her with ootslretched arms.
i "Carl my lord!" she exclaimed.
"Thank heaven that yon have cornel If
my love fur yon is nnmaidenly remem
ber that the working of my heart are
guided by a higher power than mine.
From the first moment I gazed upon yon
I felt that I could love none other and
j that I must win your love or die."
I She thr. w herself on the bosom of the
man she believed to be the one who had
enshrined his image in her heart.
Let us sail out npon the lake," said
the supposed Carl. "There in the moon
light, and with none to hear us bnt the
waters that dance so merrily in the sil
ver beams we will talk of that love yon
have for me and that which I have so
long felt for you. but never yet acknowl
edged." J "You do love me, then, dear Carl?"
"Can you doubt it?"
"1 did; but with your arms around
i me and your eyes shining into mine 1
i can doubt no longer."
He unmoored the boat, and seating
her in it followed and pushed out from
the shore.
1 In an instar.t, without the aid of an
j oar or sail, the boat dashed madly across
the waters, then turned around and
around with fearful rapidity.
"What is this?" he gasjied.
The girl turned her despairing eyes
over the lake.
"Mercy!" she cried: "the waters are
sinking the shores are rising around ns
like mountains. We are in a whirlpool!
We are lost we are lost!"
As she spoke the boat rose on its end,
was spun around and around like a top
for a moment, and then dinappeared in
the whirlpool in which it had been
caught.
When the waters of the lake had run
out, and the peasants came to plant their

In rare cases can we find conditions
where the materials of the soil or of the j
subsoil are fit for the construction of j
roads. Tho reason for this is simple. It i
is found in tlw fact that the uroccsscs
which affect the earth's surface and pro
. . . -
duce the debris suited to the uses of
plants tend to divide the rocky matter
into more or less distinctly rounded bits,
which have soft outer surfaces. When
ever the shearing strain of a wheel is
brought npon this detritid matter the
particles generally move over each other,
so that the greater part of the pulling
force which is applied to the vehicle is
expended in a kind of plowing work, a
task which is about as far removed from
the legitimate business of traversing a
way as can well lie imagined.
The liext exemplification of this class
of action is found where a road is floored
with gravel. One can there clearly see
and hear the effects of tlie shearing ac
tion which the wheel produces on tho
uuttcriiilH, und from this exumplc hn more
readily perceives that the flrt object of
tho roatlmnker is to keep the substance
which form the lied firmly in place, Road
engineers, therefore, have come to the
conclusion that the staple or standard
foundation for roads must consist of
broken stone, the angular faces of the
fragments so driven together that they
will cling unmoved under any pressure
which vehicles will bring upon them.

along a road in a February thaw. Four
homes are drawing the rickety, seedy

eroded by contact with mud. The road
is simply a long, deep bed of mucky clay,
which, under the strong wind, has stif

At the recent session of the National
Orange at Concord, N. II., the question
of better county roads was discussed,
the consensus of opinion being that,
while farmers admitted the need and ad

first insist upon an equalization of taxes
by which farmers should not be com
pelled to pay more than their fair share
of the expense of building and maintain
