STEAM AS A STONE-CUTTER.

Woodworking by machinery is now a
common everyday occurrence, in every
city where much work is done. A very
few wears ago, the idea that anything but
the hands Of man were able to saw and
plane and mortice was undreamed of; nor
has the carpenters occupation been in
iured by steam proving itself the speedier
workman. On the contrary, there is more
work for carpenters still to do, in addition
to all that steam accomplishes, than there
was before steam had taken part in the
work. To assail stone, however is diff
ferent matter. Wood to large extent is
skindly subject, and though sometimes
hard and cross-grained enough, it does
not spit fire as stone does, on the slightest
provocation In fact. stone seems about
the most impracticable subject in nature
for steam to handle. Neither will come
or 90 hairs breadth. There is no elias
ITCHY in the constitution of the one. nor
in the perfect going of the other, and the
hardest steel or toughest iron, would be
like sswindlestrawsn between the two.
Genius and industry, however, promise to
make steam as complete a stone-cutter as
it is carpenter Sir w. F. Cooke and
Mr.. G.. H. Hunter have shop at Battersea
III ELI iiiHu, lof experiments oh luC way
of doing this. They have already six ma
chimes at work, driven by one little engine.
The machinery is exceedingly simple, ex-
cept in the mode Of arranging the cutters
and adjusting their rising and falling.
The slabbing machine cuts slab FIVE feet
nine inches long and four feet wide in
twenty-five minutes, from block of Port
land stone, which occupies place among
stones similar to that occupied by oak
among woods Tt thus earns $3.50 at the
ordinary price for such work, or $50 for a
day of ten hours. The turning lathe and
moulding machine do their work beauti-
fully. The bases of columns and balus-
trades are produced with the greatest ac-
curacy and rapidity. They are putting in
another machine to cut a block three feet
by eighteen inches, into five or six pieces
Of ashlar, at one operation, in quarter
of an hour, "a Job which would require
half day by the ordinary method.
This, however, and not England is the
country for the full development of stone
working by machinery. as it has already
become for woodworking. We may ex-
pect, therefore, soon to see "stone-ripping
machines. av' 'stone-slabbing Machines =

The Three Jolly Husbands.

Three jolly husbands, out in the coun.
try, by the name of Tim Watson, Joe
Brown and Bill Walker, sat late one eve
ming drinking at the village tavern, until
being pretty well corned, they agreed that
each one in returning home should do
the first thing his wife told him, in de-
fault of which he should, the next NOR
ming, pay the bill The next morning
Walker and Brown were early at their
posts, but it was some time before Wat
son made his appearance. Walker began
first: " You see when [ entered my
house the candle vas out, and the fire
giving but a glimmering light, came near
walking accidentally into pot of batter
that the pancakes were to be made of
next morning My wife, who was dread
fully out of humor at setting up so late,
said to me sarcastically: "Bill, do put
Jour foot in the batter" Just as you
say, Maggy," said |, "and without the
least hesitation [ put my foot into the
pot Of batter and went to bed" Next Joe
Brown told his story: My wife had
already retired in our usual sleeping room
which adjoins the kitchen, and the door
of which was ajar; not being able to nav
igate, you know, perfectly, | made dread
full Gathering among the household furn-
iture, and my wife, in no pleasant tone,
bawled out " Do break the porridge pot"
No sooner said than done, l seized hold
Of the tail of the pot and striking it
against the chimney jainb, broke it in a
hundred pieces. After this exploit
retired to rest and got a curtain lecture
all night for my pains" 1t was now Tim
Watson's turn to give an account of him
self, which he did with very long face
as follows "My wife gave me the most
unlucky command in the world, for | was
blundering up stairs in the dark when she
cried out: Do break your neck, do
Tim" "Pll be cussed if / do, Kate"
said |, as | gathered myself up, "Ill
sooner pay the bill, and So landlord, here
is the cash for you, and this is the last
time I'll ever risk five dollars on the COM
mand of my wife"

Not the Man.

" NlE other morning an elderly gentle
4. man started to walk up the c. & p.
railroad track from Belaire to West
Wheeling. In the neighborhood Of
Whisky Run he came across three rough
looking young men who were sitting at
the end of the ties taking consolation from
a gallon jug. AS our friend passed them,
one of them, youth about eighteen,
hailed him with, Here, daddy, come
and get drink" He was informed that
hysting benzine was not one of the old
mans accomplishments, but he was not
to be put off in that way
Advancing with volley of oaths fly
ing from his mouth, he informed the old
man that he must drink or take a whip
ping. just as the young ruffian got
within striking distance of our old friend
the latter drew revolver, which he cock
ed and held full in the face of the drunk
en- rowdy. To say that the rough stop
ped, doesn't half tell it. He could not
have stopped more suddenly if lightning
had struck him.
Don't shoot, old fellow" he stam-
mered, as he recovered from his astonsh-
ment, Il meant it all in friendship"
"D-n your friendship !" shouted the
old fellow, new becoming thoroughly ex-
cited. "Go get that jug and bring it
here, or I'll blow you to Kingdom come in
a minute" .....
The completely cowed rufian obeyed.
As he brought the jug full of liquor the
old man said:
/" Now break it on the railroad tic
Break it :" he shouted "Break it quick,
Or" Before he had time to to finish
the sentence the jug was in a thousand
pieces.
" "Now,y you Internal, darned mean cuss,
get down on yourknees and apologize, or
III make your head look like a pepper
box top"
The fellow hesitated but looking into
the old mans eyes, saw that he meant
business, and dropping on his knees, apol-
+ ogized for the outrage.
Thinking him sufficiently punished the
old man walked peacefully on his way
AS he went up the track, he heard one of
the fellows call out to the other:
81 say, Bill, that amt the man you
were looking for, is it 7"

Ga" A member of one of the older
families of Springfield, Mass, relates
many funny stories Of his ancestors, noted
for their eccentricities. Among them
are these;
My grandfather was tanner, and was
accustomed to hang green hides on the
fence to dry While engaged one NOR
ming in his family devotions, as was his
custom, leaning on the back of chair
with his face towards the window, and
as it seems, with open eyes, he prayed,
" We look unto Thee, when stopping,
he exclaimed, Run, boys, run the dogs
are at the hides We must watch as well
as pray "
Another morning, while engaged in
the same manner, on his chair near the
open cellar door, he prayed thus "The
wicked shall go down to the bottomless
pit" when, by some movement of his, he
fell head long down the cellar stair. Gath
ering himself up, he came to the top
again, exclaiming, "Wife, where did |
leave OFF," " At the bottom of the stairs"
was the reply.

Riddles,

Divide hundred and fifty by nought;
add two-thirds of ten SO ends my riddle, "
said the Professor.
"Why, if you divide anything by
nought, it makes nothing" growled Mr..
Bitter Aloes.
"Does itY" rejoined the Professor.
Macaulay's schoolboy would have been
whipped for such display of ignorance.
You may learn some day, Alose, unless
you mend your ways, that in6nity is not
nothing. G is hundred, is it not, and
l. is hundred and fifty; divide them by
nought, and we get COL. Add two
thirds of ten, and then we have COLEN.
SO ends my riddle--COLENSO.
