HOW TO MAKE A ="

Iowa Homestead. We have bad
some expertewoe in gravel roads, and;
the best ones are made In this wuy:|
fWe Iscate the center of a well formed !
roadbed; then four feet eucli way from j
center we 0|>en out a gravel bed eight I
leet wide and twelve or fifteen Inches 1
deep, depending on the kind of soil
The roadbed is filled with coarse grav-j
si mixed well with ctuy or earth and'
crude oil enough to make It n bin! Hu-^
pervious to moisture. This bed Is well
packed"tor all heavy freight. The surface
bed upon fbls should be oT Oner
gravel about eight or ten Inches deep
and from the center each way should
be from eight to teu feet, making a tup
bed from sixteeu to twenty feet wide,
with the edges well wrapped up with
earth. Tlieu the whole is rolled'down
to suit the forui of a good roadbed
The oil bed iK'ilig underneath, the sett-,
sons will evaporate the oil and harden;

SAVING MILLIONS. :

Work.
LL la estimated by the office of public
roads of the department of agriculture
that about lu per cent of the roads in!
tbe United States are Improved.
If 20 per cent,of the public highways!
were Improved, each highway being
selected and improved with a view to
the proportionate traffic npon it. a high
degree of efficiency In highway trans
portatIon would be reached
It Is figured that millions of dollars !
would be saved annually In tbe transn

on horses and vehicles and in the uilnl-1

Wad Bridal Oowaa. , -r |
It ti at IMeraat to not* that tha
choice of white for wedding (owns is .
comparatively of modern origin. The
Roman brides .wore yellow, and In moat 11
eastern countries pink 1* the bridal
color. During the middle ages and la
foe retmfaeeoce period brides wore
crimson 4x> the exclusion of all other
colors. Most of the riantngenet and
Tudor queens were married In that lvld
hue. which Is still popular In
parts of Brittany, where foe bride I* ]
usually dressed In crlmdon brocade. It;
was Mary Stuart who first changed the j
color of the bridal garments. At her !
marrucu with rrsntai x or rrsnee
1558, which took place not before the
altar, but before foe great doors of
Notre Damfc; she was gowned in whits
brocade, with a train of pale bine Persian
velvet six yards In length. This
Innovation caused a great stir In the
fashionable world of that time, ft was
not, however, until quite the end of the
seventeenth century that pure white,
the color worn by royal widows, became
popular for bridal garments.
