Women as HOd-CarrierS.

The correspondent of the Baltimore
Anerican at the Vienna Exposition
writes
l have before alluded to the fact that
women perform the hardest kind of
laboring work in Germany, but was not
prepared for the sights have witnessed
to-day In Vienna. In America mixing
mortar and carrying the hod is consid7
cred such hard work that few white men
can be found willing to undertake it at
the present day. An immense build
ing near our hotel, occupying a
whole block, is in course of erec-
ton, on which not less than 400
persons are employed, fully 200 of whom
are women. All the hard laboring work
is done by women. such as making and
carrying mortar in buckets on their
heads to the workmen handling the
brick. They are not allowed moments
leisure, several overseers being on guard
to keep them constantly in motion. We
found the same proportion of women at
work on all the new buildings, and there
must be many thousands of them to-day
doing this species of laboring work in
Vienna. They are both young, middle
aged, and old, but all seem to be strong
and healthy. At dinner-time they swarm

4 Popular Dream Dispelled.

Imagine that were they so able to float
away, taking with them their present
bodily possessions, they would be heart
lily glad to return by the very first ex-

cold, dark and dreary places in the uni

the coldest, darkest and dreariest. We
all know that the lighter and thinner the
atmosphere the lower is the temperature.

orbit of Saturn. At such an altitude
there would be neither heat, light nor
sound. Air is necessary for all these,
and there being no atmosphere at such a
distance, glorious space" is a most in

The Way Nick Bowers Was Caught.

Nick Bowers was a member of the
original Christy Minstrels, and, in his
day, was the greatest middle man in
terrogator known in the profession.
Nick used to tell, with great merriment.
an incident of his boyhood. To pre-
serve the flavor of the relation. we will
record in Nick's own language, and only
regret that we cannot accompany it with
his inimitable gesticulation.
My old man." said Nick, "as gen
eral thing, was pretty steady old gent,
but once in while he would get obliv-
1ous, and water was not the cause Of it.
L recollect certain holiday was ap-
preaching, and [ had been skinning
around to get little money to have
time with on that day but the fates and
purses were against me. It was but two
days prior to the anticipated holiday,
and /. hadn't nary red. Remember
this, boys, when [ add that on the same
afternoon I came into the house, when
10 there on the floor, totally overcome
by his hbations, lay my respected daddy,
and beside him lay six shining half dol
lars which had rolled from his pocket.
Boys, I've been an honest man all my
life, but once when boy [ committed a
theft. l hooked one of those half dol
lars. Thinks | to myself, the old mans

how much he spent, and viii never miss

and my two brothers were summoned
into my fathers presence. The old
mans face lowered. l thought of the
half dollar and knew that a storm was
brewing.
"Boys," said he, " last night when I
came home 1 had six half dollars. One
of ems gone. Your mother didn't take
it. There's been no one else in the
house. Which one of you took it ?"
We all protested our innocence.
"Boys,' said the old man, g that half
dollar never walked off, and I'm going to
find out which one of you took it. -
Turning around, he took down from
the wall an old fint-lock blunderbuss.
This he deliberately loaded with powder
and buck-shot in our presence then
fastening it upon the table, cooked it,
took a seat behind it, holding the string
in his hand, and IN solemn tones ad-
dressed US thusly:
Boys, I'm going to discover the thief
and punish him at the same time. You
must each of you blow into the muzzle
of that gun. When the guilty one blows,
off goes his head. Now then, you have
chance viii you own up or blow up ?"
ben, said the old man to my eldest
brother, =" have you got that half dol

''No, sir.
''Take blow
Ben did so in safety.

that half dollar ?"
No, sir, said I, with a defiant
swagger.

thunder, ''where is that half dollar ?"
He had me. The truth lodged out of

Fire-Pr00f Building Material,


Plaster-of-Paris has long been known as a
tire-proof material 1t is easily cast in nolds
in any desired form. 1t is cheap. Mixed III
proper proportions with other materials it
may be made in blocks as capsole OF resisting
pressure as good brick. In Europe, it is used
extensively in building, for partition walls,
etc. A company in Chicago has obtained a
patent and began manufacturing what it calls
fire-proof castings, for partition walls.
These castings are simply hollow blocks of
plaster, mixed, perhaps, with some kind of
cement and sand. Recently this company
had test Of their new material before COM
mittee of architects, builders, the fire COM
missioners, board of public works, fire mar
shal and wardens, the board ofunderwriters,
and others. Several rooms were constructed
OF the blocks, sides, floor and top being of the
fre-proof material. One room was filled with
straw, which was set on fire. Three cords
of fire-wood were set on fire in another room.
In the third room a dinner table was set, at
which the party ate while the fire was raging.
The walls were only seven and half inches
thick, and the sides toward the flames were
heated to a glowing white heat; yet no heat
came through. Indeed the thermometer
hung on the outside of the wall of the rooms
in which the fire was, indicated zero, while
the thermometer in the room where the par
ty dined indicated AZ degrees above zero. The
Wdllo uiu uOG CrdCh, CdlClne, OF ueteTlOrdle,
only the smooth white finish was smoked
and the usual ''hard finish peeled off. By
replacing that, the walls would be as good as
new again. These facts, with a very bigh
recommendation of the plaster blocks, a.e
certified to in the report of the committee.
The report says that with fire-proof doors
and windows, the use OF this material will, in
their opinion, in all cases, confine any fire to
the room in which it originates, and prevent
its injuring the walls of the building.
