tslon. POINTERS FOR CONCRETE WORK.
A book could onslly lit1 writ ton on
"Dabblers In Concrete" and be Illus
trated by cuts of cracked pavements,
crumbling steps and broken floors,
taken from every neighborhood.
We might also add a few cracked
poultry bouses for variety, as we no
tice many wbo so enthusiastically
vent Into building concrete block hen
houses now numb on the other side of
their mouth, why? Their bouse crum
bled nr Is: flntnti.
There are several reasons why con
crete cracks and crumbles.
It Is on poor foundation; cement or
sand Is poor, nr both; too much sand
Is used; combination Is not mixed or
applied properly or the frost cracks it.
One part cement to three of clean,
sharp sand Is proper for building
blocks, but no concrete house In ours,
oven If lumber Is high. They are sel
dom dry, and the dampness cannot
really be ontilated out, as it Is held
by tlie walls themselves.
For a death trap use a concrete
house with dirt tloor and poor ventila
tion. We advocate concrete tloors and
know from experience they are a prac
tical success.
Here is a picture from our plant

for years and still stands perfectly.
Seme cry, "IMieumatlsm." "liumble
foot," when concrete, doors are men
tioned. Uf course fowls go lame when com
pelled to stump round on bare cement.
A mule would.
The practical, up to date method is
heavy littoi' on all Hours, and they
who use it do not have one case of
rheumatism to a thousand. Some peo
ple Hush their Honrs livery stable style.
This rots the sills and runs down
along edge of cement and tends to
dampness. Litter keeps our lleors
clean, and we seldom have to sprinkle
to loosen tilth. Good concrete tloors are
generally laid In two fiats, the rough
and finishing.
Floors laid on bare ground fall, but
a three inch tloor laid on packed, soak
ed cinder is a lasting success.
In laying concrete have everything
nt hand, the water, sieved sharp sand
and gravel, cement, tools, mixing plat
forms, etc.
Cement, like time, waits for no man.
The !,r.st cent, censlsting of one part

on board, reached this port today, and
the llnancler came ashore at Iloboken
He was looking much thinner than

tributed to the severe treatment he
underwent in the baths at Had !as

Mr. liarrimari looked pale and worn,
anil It was evident that be was greatly
enfeebled. He walked with ilillieulty.
"1 am In good condition anil am feel

that 1 need Is rest and good home

Dr. I.yle. Mr. llarriman's physician,

Dr. I.yle.
Tlie directors of the I'nion Pacille
anil Southern Pacltlc railroads held
meetings hero today. Mr. llarrlman
did not attend these meetings, but his
homecoming aroused great Interest in
railroad matters and especially the
talk that the llarrlman interests seek
lo obtain control of the New York
Central In order to perfect a transcoii
linental system. Kvor since Mr. llarrl
man went away on June 1 Wall street
has experienced Hurries over report
of his future plans and the constant
rumor of bis failing health.
According to Ids physician, Mr. llar
riman's stay at Arden Is lo be indell
nile and will depend on his physical
condition.
Mr. Hariiman so far this year has
spent the dealer part of tlie lime trav
eling and visiting various health re
sorts. He began the year well, for on Jan.
'.!" he became n director in the Now
Yoik Central on the same day that
President W. C. Ilrown also became a
member of the board of that read. At
the lime of his elect loll Mr. Harrimiili
was i raveling north from the southern
stales, where lie had been to recupe
rate, as bis health was reported to be
far from good.
I.e-s than a moiilh later, mi Feb. IT.
he went Into camp at San Antonio,
Tex. tie and various member: of his
family and several frii m'.s spent sev
eral weeks in lenls a few miles south
of that town. The climate, which was
warm, appeared to agree with him.
Knrly in March, with a party of
friends, Mr. llarrlman went farther
south and entered Mexico, where lie
Inspected new lines under construct lop
on tlie Pacille coast. lie expressed
himself as much benefited by his rest
at Sail Antonio and looked tanned and !
strong.
It began to be rumored, however,
that his health was far from good and
even (bat he would soon retire from
active business and recuperate by lead
ing a life out of doors and dropping
business cares.
The latter part of tlie month of
March was spent in California, when
at Paso Hobles. Hot Springs, lie took
the baths for rheumatism. He then re.
turned to New York, having made a
four months' trip through the south.
Mexico, the Pm Hie coast and across
the continent. During all this time
there were conllictlng reports regard
lug his health, and. though upon his
return lie looked brown and lie.tlihy.
his downtown olllce saw him little.
I.ate In April he planned a three
months' trip abroad, his second. The
llrst trip was made several years ago.
when Mr. Ilarriiuan was recovering
from an operation for appendicitis.
The traveling on the continent was
done by automobile, and Mr. llarrlman
often described the caravan as repre
senting a railroad train and said t li.it
It showed to lilm only railroad idea-.

THE GOLDEN RULE
IN PRACTICE.
International Dible Lesson for
Aug. 20, '09 (1 Cor. 13: 1-13).
Some years
ago a ship was
bound from Ma
nila to Singa
pore. She look
an ICastem pas
sage among tho
Philippines, be
ing eighty days
on the voyage. A
brig had sailed
some time be
fore, ended tho
Armador, laden
w 1 1 h coconnut
oil, A few days
after tlie departure of the Manila ship,
while there was a strong breeze, and
a rough sea, tho surface became all at
once as smooth us a mill pond, al
though the breeze "ontlnueil. On
looking over tlie side, the crew discov
ered that they were sailing through a
sea of oil. They continued in tills oil
track for three days. On arriving at
her destination, It wis found that tho
Armador had arrived a little while
before with some 01 'he oil casks
broken, and that lu r sailors had been
continually pumping oil out of tho
hold Into tho sea. On comparing logs,
it appeared that when tlie oily sur
face was llrst seen, the two ships
were at least two nundred miles
apart. Such Is the effect of oil upon
tho troubled waters.
Love, a Lubricant.
Now, in our lesson for to-day, Paul
says that love lias the same power
over the stormy passions of life, llo
gives a list of tilings we are forbid
den to do the second table of the
commandments, and then nays that
love is tlie secret of our ability to
keep them, "l.ove is the fullilllng of
the law." If we 1 ave love, of the right
kind, and cnour'i of It. we neul not
'I'f.'iy about oer "bllity to keep every
0:10 of tho commandments, hove is
tin- coition rule in practice. It, Is a
wnndeiful paciller. A little love will
i;.i a Ions way in calming a troubled
fii'iie, anil stiinnr, angry passions, i.ei
us but carry a let-go cargo of the oil
of love, anil vlien the storms .ire
nii-ing around us, keep tlie pumps
working, pourirg hcavjn's pacille dor
upon the trou'dod waters.
"It Is love that thou lackest, thou
poor old world!
Who shall make thy lovo hot lor
tiiee, frozen old world?
Thou rre not happy as Hum mlglitesst
be,
For the love of dear .Jesus Is little
In thee.
Thus F. W. Fnber blngs tho truth
divinely stated, "the greatest of
these is lovo."
Love, a Mantle.
Suppose wo should Insist upon mak
ing tlie best of one another! Every
one has his weakness. Ids faults, and
we may make the worst of these by
critically fixing our attention constant
ly upon them. The caricaturist sees
everything twisted, distorted, exag
gerated, out of proportion; tho artist
sees the angel in every rough block
of marble, and beauty overyhore. The
difference Is In the men, In their eyes,
what, they are looking foi. Love is
not blind, but love carries a mantle,
and like Noah's son's "Walks back
ward, with averted face, and bides
the shame." By loving whatever is
lovable In others, and there is no one
who has not some lovely traits, lovo
will flow back from them tu us, and
life will become a pleasure, rather
than a pain, earth will be transformed,'
and we shall be unconsciously chang
ed luto His Iiiinge. whose name lo
love.
Only love can do this. To delight
1 in the graces and veil the defects of
the person who opposed your plans,
whoso peculiar inlirmities grate on
tho sensibilities, and 'rom whoso con
spicuous faults your whole- being re
colls. Is the highest summit of love.
I isiu iimi is mo siniy true, real love,
k
and its exercise stamps tlie possessor
as being heaveii'liorn.
Give water to thy thirsty foe,
Tlie sand-il t:ve, as if lo prove
How sweet to conquer hate by love
Perlumes the as that lays it low,"
Love, Self-Gacrlflcing.
In the Hoston Public library there
has just been unveiled a picture by a
noted artist, entitled "The Itedemp
tion." It is a i'i Km-iiHon of the cruel
tied Christ. The painter, in order to
tell tlio story of tho eelf-sncrillcing
lovo of the Hon .if God, has ropre
pouted at the iv-ot of the cross a coil
