Commercial gentlemen, who pull out their watches and. mutter "tut, tut," when the omnibus stops at tbe corner, do not impose upon the world so much as they hope to do. We are well aware it is bot really a vital matter whether tbey begin reading the newspaper at their office a 10 precisely or at 10:16. The City would not collapse if tbey were even an hour late, nor (between our selves) would it be of muob consequence even to tbem. Tbey are a set of bum bugs as respects tbe importance of tbeir every moment; it is one of the engines that they employ to persuade the puhlio of tbe gigantic character of their opera tions. As though one day was not Just as good as another for making money I It is otuious that oven tbe rank and file of tbe commercial army affect this exaggeration of the value of their time. "Give me 24 hours to turn about in," says some poor wretch surrounded by creditors, I 'and you shall all be paid." What is tbe good of bis turning round in 34 hours, like the globe itself f "Time is money," runs tboir foolisl) proverb, whereupon it was onoe wittily observed, "Then, 1f yon give me time, it is the same thing as if I give you money," which is quite a new way to pay old debts. , - ' -Lawyers also make a great deal of fuss about tbe value of their time, but with better reason, for tbey charge folks not for what tbey do for them so much as for tbe time tbey take in doing it, which is one reason, among many, why lawsuits sre so prolonged. - It is to the credit of tbe other professions that they do not boast themselves in this particu lar, for although tbe clergy are em pbatio about the value of time it is not upon mere time's isocount, bot on tbe relation which it bears to eternity. Tbey may make vital -qoestlons out of many foolish things, but I never beard of tboir attaching Supreme importanos to their sermons beginning exactly as the clock strikes II, while, as to ending tbem at any particular time, I have gen. rally noticed their congregations to be more solicitous about that than them selves. We find, indeed, it is tbe mau who does the most work who has si. wsys the most time tu givs to others. and tbe idlest dog wbo has always "no time to spare," be fritters away tbe boars be ccgbt to employ In labor, and tbea complains bow closely be has been kept to bis desk.

" Captain Steel was proud, but be also doted upon Margaret, and be swallowed his resentment and submitted. He only lived for her and the volunteer force. There was, of coarse, no pecuniary ne cessity for his undertaking tbe duties of an adjutant, but he liked tbe work and did it well. He was always too late, of course, but when be bad onoe begun be made up for lost time. His men adored him, and he would, put himself to' any inconvenience short of being in time to serve tbem. : He bad a rifle butt erected in bis own grounds, so that those to whom it was nearer than where tbe regimental target stood might come and practice there. . There was a shot proof house for tbe marker upon one side of it and all complete. Tbe time for Hippolyte's marriage was drawing very near, and it was not bis intention to be late for tbat, I prom ise you. Indeed since tbat edict of bis future father-in-law, be had much im proved in respect to punctuality, as I can certify, wbo happened to be staying with him during those last bachelor days. However late at night we played billiards. Hippolyte was always "to the fore"' at breakfast time, and tbe cook was quite astonished to find master always at home when the second bell rang. . Upon a certain day we were engaged to dine with the Bullions at their coun try seat in tbe neighborhood. I could hardly prevent Hippolyte from driving over there immediately . after lunch so as to be positively sure to be in time, but I represented to him tbat would only look as if be bad no confidence in himself. He would seem like a habitual drunkard, wbo dares not be merely moderate, bnt is obliged to take tbe pledge. If we started at 0, we should still have a full quarter of an hour to spare. At 4 o'clock Hippolyte bad put on his evening clothes, in which he looked remarkably well, but still, as I observed, it was a prematura proceed ing. "Nevermind," said be. "I feel safe in these. I shan't have to dress in case anything should happen to delay, ns." - It was quite touching to see his anx iety and desire to amend. " When I have once got ber," said he (referring to his belovod object), "I'll snap my fingers at old Bullion and make a point of never teing in time for anything. " At half past 4, wbo should ride npon Hjat speedy "weed" of bis but Mr. Nolan O'Sbaogbnessy of tbe floyal Blanksbire volunteers, one of those Irish gentlemen to be found in every corps, about whom nobody knows anything, exorpt tbat there tbey are. He was sorry to intrude, but be bad been accidentally shutout of the regimental competition last week and was exceedingly anxious to get into class S. It was competent for tbe adju tant to admit bim, if be should suboeed-: tisfylug him of hia efficiency, which half an hour's practice at the target would suffice to da I doubt that, my good fellow,'! said Hippolyte, "for your shooting used to be rather wild, but I can just spare yon half an boor. " - So we went out to tbe bot, O'Sbaogb nessy leading bis thoroughbred and tethering tbat attenuated animal to S neigb boring gala He bad characteris tically omitted to bring bis ammunition with bun, wbicb Ihe adjotant bad to supply. When Steel and I bad shot ourselves up in tbe marker's bos, which was quite an arborlike little edifice of turf, with its one aperture close to the target, I remarked to my companion tbat our friend from tbe Emerald Isle bad rather an undisciplined appearance. "He's as mad as a March bare." said be, "and knows shout as much about shooting. He wifl never get into the second olass as long as be lives; only one does not like to seem ill natured. We shall never have to ose the green flag, for he never made a bullsoye iu tho course of bis existence, and I very ranch doubt if bo will ever make, 'an out- : At tbis moment a terrible incident occurred. Out of the tbymy moss olad seat on which we sat there flew an enormous insect withan appalling boom and began to circle around us. - I am not well acquainted with the entomol ogyof the coun try, and I concluded it to be only a bumblebee. But I noticed Hippolyte turned pale and waved tbe red flag with frantic excitement At this moment another bumbebeo"flew out and joined the maxy circles of its pred ecessors. - -. ,- , ' .I :0.:vkV : "What a noise these bumblebees make," said I, "in this confined space, and I don't think I ever saw such big ones.''-' ;-. ;..:. ?:' . v.- VHuabl" said Hippolyte.

"If tbis reptile stings my nose, it -will be don bio its size in half a minute," said Hippolyte, with tbe calmness of de spair. , I knew tbo poqr fellow was thinking of bow he could present himself iu such a condition to bis beloved objeot lady's lip js none tbo worse, as tbo poet tells us, If it docs look as though bee had stung it newly, " but tbe cose is widely different in respect to a gentle man's nose snd a hornet - Still, tbo gallant captain did not lose bis presence of mind. ' "If you can find tho littlo hole from wbicb tboso infernal villains escaped,' said be, "stop it quietly up with your finger or anything I" "Not with my finger, If I know it" returned . I, endeavoring to eVcify the hornet tbat was devoting itself tome by blowing gently at it, "but I will try tbe handle of my penknife. " Tbis brilliant idea was executed with the most complete success. There wss a noise as of about 13 church organs in the seat beneath ns, but it was muffled. The penknife exactly fitted. Agitated, have no doubt, by tbe stifled voices of tbeir relatives, the two outside hornets whsised about us like Catherine wheels. We dared not move a muscle, except tbat Hippolyte kept on waving the red flag,, which only seemed to bavo tbe same effect upon O'Sbaogbnessy as on somesavago bull namely, to excite bim to frensy. Ho appeared to fire about 20 shots a minute, and all wide ones. "How many cartridges bas tbe vll lain got?" inquired L . . "Enough fer a twelvemonth, groan ed the adjutant 'They bavo' put tbe regimental cbest under the walnut tree. What time is it? If this unutterable idiot does get me lata for, dinner, I'll wring nis necu. - With 'the utmost caution and with an apologetio glance at my hornet, I drew forth my watch. "We have no time to lose," said I. "We have already been here half an hour and indeed it seems half a day." , "I'll obance it, " cried Hippolyte, set ting bis teeth and gathering himself to gether for a rush. "You will be a dead man,1' said I "if you do. Think of your Margaret and don't leave a poor fellow alone in tbis horrid place with a couple of hor nets. See, tbat scoundrel has already put three ballots through tbe.red flag. If yon bad been there, tbey would have gone through yon Instead I' , Tbe argdmeut was unanswerable! Hippolyte gnashed his teeth in impotent rage. "I am sure," said I soothingly, "when old Bullion comes to understand tbe very peculiar ciroumstanoes of our position be Will perceive tbat punotu ality was out of tbe question. Tbis un mitigated scoundrel, O'Sbaugbnessy" "Array, captain jewel, and ain't I in olass x by tbis time?" ejaculated a quer- klous voice, and at the aperture of our prison bouse appeared tbe hateful fea tures of our jailer, distorted by an adula tory grin. To throw tbe red flag in bis faoe, to leap out of tbe marker's butt and fly toward tbe gate at wbich tbe speedy . "weed" wss tethered was but tbe work of. a moment and tbe next Captain Steel was, dying across the country in full evening dress in tbe direction of bis dinner. . 1 As for me, before O'Sbaugbnessy could recover "from his amazement I bad jerked tbe penknife out of tbe bole and was running homeward at full speed, leaving tbat gallant volunteer surrounded by such a host of Infuriated hornets tbat tbey seemed to darken tbe air. 80 Captain and Adjutant Hippolyte Steel got In time for dinner and for Margaret after all.

Tbo specifi cations for macadamised road eonstrno- tion in use by tbe state of New Jersey, the city of Philadelphia and of many towns in Pennsylvania and neighboring states permit tbe use of clay, gravel and loam for building purposes, says En gineering News. French engineers are also stated to nse clay for this purpose in proportions varying from SO to 00 per cent Mr. Franklin believes tbat this clay possesses two prominent dis- gold "What's that?" cried I, as a doll tfand on one side of oor torf but follow ed tbe discharge of bis first shct "Ob. he's bit our butf instead of tbe target, that's all," returned Hlppolyu coolly.

It is a good adulterant and tends to a reduc tion of th amount of good stone mate rial, and be believes that with It nse a road rapidly deteriorates, baa a tendon. cy to' rut, is more easily affected by frost, and tbe foundation is made un stable in wet weather by tbe percola tion of moisture. In disoussing this paper Mr. Thomas O. Janvier differed from Mr. Franklin In regard to the nse of clay as a binder. From practical experience Mr. Janvier found that tbe day, properly put on, made a better road. He mentioned a road built in Delaware county in 1888. On an eight inch telford foundation was a four inch layer of broken stone, and on this last was put a light sprin kling of day. Tbe whole was then thor oughly rolled. Tbe finishing coat was about on inch of coarse screenings sprinkled and rolled until tbe surface was hard and smooth. Mr. Janvier saidi This road lasted about nine year without any repairs. Tbe surface was much worn down, but tbe wear was even, scarcely a rut ap peared, and tbe road was still In good condition. Within th last year three inohee of three-quarter - inch broken stone was placed upon it without pick ing np the original surface, which was as bard as iron, and on top of this was spread light coat of clay and stone dust Mr. Janvier contended tbat lust enough clay to bind tbe two top si see of ston was advantageous. A smooth road cannot be secured with three-quarter inch stone alone a a top dressing, and it cannot be compacted or smoothed by rolling. Bnt a light cost of day applied on tbe three-quarter inch ston and tbis then covered by half to three-quarter inch of pur ston dirt could be rolled and resulted in an excellent road. A 15 ton roller wa employed, and tbe road was kept wdl sprinkled for tome time after completion. But says Mr. Janvier, the clay must be used very judiciously and th contractor most be watched. Tbe specifications for this road re ferred to demanded that tbe foundation stone should be bard, tough and dura ble. For th broken stone trap rook wa preferred. The cost of this road, with eight inch foundation covered by four inohee of broken trap rook, wa IS cant per square yard. Tbe grade from crown- to gutter wa I and 4 per cent. and tbe earth bed wa rolled before th foundation was pat in. Mr. Janvier preferred tbe telford to tbe macadam type of eonstrnetioa a being more du rable and 1ms liable to rut than tbe lat ter. Constant daily attention la the mat ter of repairs, said Mr. Janvier. cheapest in tbe long ran, and tbe judi cious use of tbe wster cart will add ma terially to the life of the road.

Correspondence solicited upon all matters pertaining to insurance. I am making a specialty of Life Insurance and will make it to Ihe interest of all who desiro protection for their families or their estates, or who wish to make absolutely safe and profit able investment, to confer with roe before giving their applica tions to other agenU.
