the eyes in a jKticock s tail. ith each
increase of telescopic jiower, more and
more craters have lecn seen. Regions
supjiosed to Im comparatively smooth
have been found, on closer scrutiny with
higher power or under more favorable
conditions, to be covered with minute
craters. Tlie slojies of the larger craters,
even in some cases their floors, liare
been found to be drown with amall cra
ter sbsjHxl depressions. In fine, almost
the whole surface of the moon may be
said to be pitted with depressions of all
sizes, from mighty gulfs 300 or 400
miles across, down to minute saucer
shaped shallows, such as only the most
powerful telescope will reveal. Dei

Road Making.
Under the subject of road., there ii no
note important item than how it ihould
be done, except the vital put, liz: their
projection.
Ws find by observation that many
our turnpikes are built by the flow ana
tedious, as well as ex(.eniive, plan ot
shoveling dirt into wagons and hauling it
to the place wanted. This should never
be reported to except in filling in acro&
a marb or bog.
All locations or quality ol soil com
posing road beds arc bcneSteJ by raising
the center of the road a. eat two feet.
On "eve! landi this can be almost com
pleted with the plow, beginning in the
center and back furrowing continually
until hirh enough, and then harrowing
and rolling.
1 Road scrapers ire well enough Lnoan
i to be uted more pcrsiiicmlr than they
are. In cnttm; through hills and in fill
ing in their bate, plows and scrapers arc
the cnlv means of transpomtton in need.
One man and team with a good scraper
will take from a hill as much cartb, and
mo. e K twenty rods, as three men can t
more the same d stance with team, wagon
and thovek.

Mary's Little Lamb.
Ths veritable Mm (who) had a lit-
tl limb whose fleece was white as snow," ',
titited the Oiu Sooth Spinning I):e yes- '
terday af .crnoon, and told the ladies prci-.
enl the story of the little lamb. When '
she waf nine years oU and living on a j
farm, one morning she went out into lh:
bam and found tno little lambs, one ol ,
them nearly dead. So she took it into
the house and rat up a:l night nursing it
with catnip lea. The next morn ng it
could stand upon its feet, and grew
stronger every day. Owing to her loving
care the Iamb became so attached to
Maty that it followed her about and one
day to school, where she hid it under her
desk, so that none of the children knew
it was in the school until Mary was called
up to rcciic Then the lamb came out
of its hiding place, and made the children
laugh and shout to that the teacher was
obliged to turn it out. The poem wis
written by a friend of Mary's soon after
the Iamb's vtsu to the school room Mary
was married many rears since, and lives
near Ilosion. Boston Transcript.
Curious Ideas of Children.
During one of the severe thunder storms
recently, little Mav, a light haired girl
about four years old, came running to her
mamma and said: "Mamma, does God
keep a gun?" Her mother, somewhat
surprised at the curious question, an
swered, "Why do you ask that, May?"
"Because, if he doesn't keep a gun, what
docs he break the sky with when it thun
ders' This reminds us of another true story.
Some years ago a little daughter of Mr.
Coddington, a noted New York auction
eer, ran out of the door and saw a beau
tiful rainbow for the first time in her
life. Standing but a moment in awe
struck admiration, she rapturously called
ont: "Papal papal come here, do come
here1 I dess that's the ribbon Dod ties
his bonnet with."
