PLEASURE DRIVES.
All the roads to the surrounding towns lead through pleasant farming districts, but late in the season, when drought and a hot sun have rendered these frequented routes less agreeable, there are many charm- ing by-paths which retain the freshness of early Summer. For the benefit of those who may not prefer to explore for themselves, a few directions are given.
ELM TREE DRIVE .- From Lincoln street, leaving City Farm on the left, pass Lake Quinsigamond. Then take first turn to the right. This road leads out to Belmont street beyond the Causeway.
LILY POND DRIVE .- Turning from Lincoln street into Boylston street take the first turn to the right leading round the head waters of Lake Quinsigamond and into Elm Tree Road.
BANNISTER MILL DRIVE .- Turn from Lincoln street into Boylston street. Take the third turn to the right, a narrow way through the woods, somewhat overgrown, and after passing the mill take first turn to the right. This road leads out on the Lily Pond road.
BOWLDER DRIVE .- First turn to the right from Boylston street after passing Mr. Gough's place; fol- low this road to the third turn, which leads to Shrewsbury, past a curious Bowlder on an eminence at the right.
THE RESERVOIR DRIVE .- Main road to Leicester. At Cherry Valley turn to right, and, keeping to the right past the Reservoir, descend Sylvester hill into Tatnuck.
GREENWOOD ROAD DRIVE .- Main road to Quinsigamond village, just beyond, keep to the right, and round by the left to the Millbury road; thence, the right turn leads to that town, the left back to Worcester.
OLD COMMON DRIVE .- Main road to Millbury. Turn to the right by the Millbury Bank; keep the straight road, leaving Bramanville on the left; the old common, about a mile from Millbury village, lies at the top of the hill, which is the site of the earliest settlement in the town-the original Millbury vil- lage; turn to the right down the hills, which give pleasant views, into the Greenwood road and straight back to town.
FLAGG'S RETREAT ROAD .- From Greenwood road, second turn to the right, about three miles to rail- road crossing, pass this, and turn to right, then to right again to Southbridge street. Drive out through Southbridge street to the Auburn station, turn to the left over the railroad, and keep straight on this road, coming down Mt. St. James, by the Holy Cross College, into Southbridge street. A beautiful drive, with pleasant views.
DAVIS COTTAGE ROAD DRIVE .- Main road to Grafton, second turn to left; take the second turn again to the left, this road leads to the old Boston turnpike; turn to the left, come back over the Causeway at the lake.
SOUTH LEDGE DRIVE .- From Winthrop street leaving Mr. Crompton's residence on the left, turn into Granite street, which leads past the South Ledge, and through the woods to the Millbury road.
HOLDEN POOR FARM DRIVE .- From the main road to Holden, take second turn to the left, then first turn to right. Pass the Holden Poor Farm, turn again to the left and back to Worcester through Salis- bury street. Part of this drive through the woods is rough, but beautiful.
SILVER SPRING DRIVE .- From the Paxton road beyond Tatnuck the second turn to the right leads to the little spring in a grove at the right, where seats have been placed for picnic parties. From the top of the hill beyond the grove, a fine view is afforded, and following the road down the steep descent and turning to the right, it leads back to Tatnuck.
SILVER CASCADE .- Holden road from Tatnuck, first turn to the left, past the homestead of the late Stephen S. Foster, then to right into a narrow overgrown road. The little stream, which in the Spring is sufficient to form a pretty cascade, comes down the hill on the left.
STONE HOUSE HILL .- Same road from Tatnuck to Holden, first turn to right about 1-2 mile beyond residence of Mr. F. J. Kinney and go to the end of the road. A walk through the pastures leads to the Ledge of Rocks, which gives the name. During the stormy times preceding the breaking out of the revolutionary war, the royalist residents in Worcester, fearing violence, retired to this place, making some additions to the natural defences of the situation, which afterwards received the name of the Tory Fort.
BELLEVUE DRIVE .- Holden and Tatnuck road, second turn to right, second turn again to right, then first turn to left, then first turn to right and back to town. At one point on this road there is a pretty view of Monadnock and Wachusett mountains.
MULBERRY GROVE DRIVE .- Paxton road, about a mile beyond Tatnuck, turn to left, and keeping to the left, cross to Leicester.
HAPPY VALLEY .- In West Boylston about seven miles from City Hall-a small grassy intervale sur- rounded by wooded hills, picturesque and secluded. Follow Burncoat street to City line and continue about two miles beyond Summit station, taking third turn to the right, pass residence of Geo. T. Brig- ham, and where the stone wall on left of road ends, turn immediately to the left and a blind carriage way takes you into the Happy Valley.
ASNEBUMSKIT HILL .- Main road to Paxton three or four miles beyond Tatnuck. Carriages left at a farm house on the road side. Ascent made on foot. The summit of Asnebumskit can be reached also from the Holden side. Holden road through Tatnuck, take second turn to left, after passing residence of Mr. F. J. Kinney. Carriages can be left at farm house at foot of hill, or at a deserted farm house lying about half-way up. This route is the shortest and gives a nearly level road, but calls for the most climbing after leaving carriages. Distance from Worcester to top, about seven miles. A rough path, which can be traversed afoot or mounted, connects the two sides. This hill (1407 feet above tide water), excepting Wachusett (2008 feet) is the highest point in this part of the State, and gives on the north & fine view of Monadnock (3186 feet), and of the Green Mountains beyond. It is hoped a carriage road will soon be made, to enable all to enjoy the fine view from this hill.
PURGATORY .- This remarkable chasm lying in thick woods in the southeast portion of the town of Sutton is some 30 feet wide and more than 1000 feet long, while the depth, in places, reaches nearly 60 feet; the view of the rocky walls and overhanging ledges is picturesque and impressive. It is a resort for woods parties. Take direct road to Millbury and pass through Sutton village, or Wilkinsonville. Dis- tance from Worcester about 16 miles.
WACHUSETT MOUNTAIN .- This hill, one of the highest in the State (2008 feet above tide water), lying in the north part of the town of Princeton, furnishes a view covering nearly the whole extent of Massa- chusetts. At the north the Green and White Mountain ranges are in full view, and with the aid of a glass vessels can be seen under sail in Boston harbor. The distance from Worcester is about seventeen miles, through woods and pleasant farming districts, the most direct roads being the continuation of Salisbury street, or Holden street, through the town of Holden.
BRYANTS' WOODS .- From Leicester village take road to Paxton, first turn to left, and continue about two miles to Pudding Corners schoolhouse, leaving that on the left these beautiful woods are immedi- ately ahead.

For Square Measure the square of long measure is used. For measuring land-in the place of acre-the centar which is one square meter, equivalent to 1,550 square inches; the ar which is 100 square meters, equiv. alent to 119.6 square yards; the hectar which is 10,000 square meters, equivalent to 2.47114 acres, are used. For Cubic Measure the cube of long measure is used; ster is used as a measure of wood in place of cord. The mill, cent, dime, dollar, and eagle of U. S. money exactly illustrate the decimal system of the metric measures, - the mill, cert, dime, corresponding with the milli, centi, deci of the metric system.
Equivalents .- 1 inch equals .0254 meter, or about 2 1-2 centimeters: 1 foot equals .3048 meter, or about 30 centimeters; 1 yard equals .9144 meter, or ab. 10-11 of a meter; 1 mile 1609 meters, or ab. 1.6 kilometers.
1 U. S. liquid quart equals .946 liter, or a little less than 1 liter; 1 U. S. dry quart equals 1.101 liters: 1 U. S. gallon equals 3.785 liters, or about 3.8 liters; 1 U. S. bushel equals 35 24 liters, or about 4-11 of a hektoliter.
1 avoirdupois ounce equals .02835 kilogram, or a little less than 30 grams; 1 Troy and apothecaries ounce equals .03110 kilogram, or a little more than 30 grams; 1 avoirdupois pound equals .45359 kilogranı, or about 5-11 of a kilogram; 1 long ton-2240 pounds-equals 1016.05 kilogramns, or about 1 metric ton.
Basis of the system .- 1. The unit of length, the meter, is the ten millionth part of a quadrant of the meridian of Paris, being 39.37 inches, nearly. 2. The unit of surface, the ar, is the square of ten meters, or a hundred square meters. 3. The unit of capacity, the liter, is a cube whose edge is a tenth of a meter. 4. The unit of weight, the gram, is the weight of a cube of rain-water, whose edge is an hundredth of a meter. From these four primary units all others are derived according to the decimal scale.
Where used .- The system is adopted by the following countries: in exclusive use in France, Germany, Austria, Belgium, Holland, Italy, Spain, Portugal, Norway, Switzerland, Roumania, Brazil; in partial use in Denmark, Greece, Argentine Confederation, Venezuela; legalized, but not in general use, in the United States, Great Britian, Russia.

STREET
1798555 DIRECTORY.
The Street Directory gives the location of each street, and shows what other streets or places run from it or across it, with the number at which they intersect.
From this list the location of any number on a street can be easily ascertained. As, for instance, wishing to know on what part of Main street No. 620 is: turn to Main street, and you find that Austin street runs from 602 right side, and Chandler street from 648, showing that No. 620 comes on the right side of Main street between Austin and Chandler.
Or, suppose that, going up Main street, you wish to take a cross street so as to call at 65 Woodland street; on examination (see Woodland) you find that 61 Woodland is at the corner of Norwood street; so by passing from Main street through Norwood street to Woodland, you are near the desired num- ber, 65.
Dashes are substituted for numbers on streets that are not numbered.
In Worcester as in all cities street numbers usually begin at that end of a street which is nearest the centre of the city.
