A Test of Building Stones.

Dr. Cutting, the State Geologist of Yer mont, has concluded the unique series of tests of fre-resisting qualities of build ing stones. He declares, in substance, that no known natural stone deserves the name of fire-proof. Conglomerates and slates have ''no capability'' of stand ing heat granite is injured beyond cheap or easy repair by even so mild 8 heat as that which melts lead; sand stones, including the variety called brown-stone, are better, and limestones and perhaps the best in this respect. But even they are injured by continuous heat of 900 deg, and at 1,2OO are changed into quickGme. Therefore it would seem that no stone buildings are fire proof, and some of them, Dr. Cutting even says, are as much damaged by fire as wooden structures are. Brick, on the contrary, is usually uninjured, and is often rather improved by heat until it is melted. But as most buildings are trimmed with iron or stone, the damage is often considerable, even when the walls stand. To avoid this Dr. Cutting recommends soap-stone trimmings, which are open only to the objection of ex- pense. But although brick stands heatso we'll, it is objectionable because it's power to resist pressure, without crumbline from dampness or frost, is less than that of stone. Nevertheless, as brick is in fact only kind of artificial stone, the search for an ideal building material is not hopeless, but it must be prosecuted rather by the maker than by the guar. Tier of stone.

Wanted-An Easy Place.

Henry Ward Beecher some time since received letter from 8 young man, who recommended himself very highly as be- ing honest, and closed with the request, "Get me an easy situation, that homes ty may be rewarded. To which MT. Beecher replied: "Don't be an oditor, if you would be easy Do not try the law. Avoid school keeping. Keep out of the pulpit. Let alone all ships, stores. shops. and merchandise. Don't prac- tice medicine. Be not farmer nor a mechanic neither @ soldier nor sailor. Don't study. Don't think. Don't work. None of them are easy. Omy honest friend, you are in very hard world ] know of but one real easy place in it. That is the grave"

The Secret of successftl u Oratory.

They were holding an outdoor ward meeting the other night, aud a speaker had just commenced to war m up to his work when stranger with Il his world ly "duds ' in an old sheep skin on his back, boots gone, hat going and dyed in- the-wool tramp air about him, halted on the outskirts of the crowd. The speech soon caught him, and he began to applaud. At the end of every sen- tence he clapped his hands and roared like fog-horn. No matter whether the speaker sshit 'em or not, the stranger never failed to come down with the ap- plause, and he carried 8 good share of the crowd with him. After the speaker had finished, and while he was wiping his heated brow, the tramp approached him and said:
 "That ere speech was one of the best ever heard in all my life"
 "Ah I'm glad it pleased you"
 "Pleased me Why 1t lifted me right off'n my feet I tell you, you're born orator, and I just wish I could stay in this town and hear you make speech every night
 "Yes, I wish you could"
 "But I can't. I am on my way West. I shall, however, think of your speech 8 hundred times day. I can feel the electricity of it yet, and-say can you lend me half dollar to help me on?"
 "Why, I don't know you. Why should I lend you half dollar?"
 "Oh, come now-don't try to ride any high horse over me; you know how loud hollreed, and you know as well as I do that if I hadn't put in my best icks you'd have fallen as flat as a shingle! You are great orator, sir, and that was great speech, but if you don't know that hollering IS what does the business, you'd better hang right up."
 The orator pondered over the matter fer few seconds, and then probably concluded that the reasoning was sound, as he passed over the money.-Free | Press.

The Train Dispatcher.

The Indianapolis Journal says: "One of the most important positions in rail- road service is that of train dispatcher.
 One of them lately remarked to Jour- aa0l reporter that when he went off duty and no accident had occurred to trains on the line, or jar in the movement of trains during the hours of duty, he felt greatly relieved From the moment he sat down at his telegraph instrument
 until he arose from it he was anxious lest some order might possibly be mis- understood, or he may have forgotten to issue some order. The train dis patcher spoken of holds position on one of the most important In dianapolis lines, and at the time of the conversation there were eight passenger trains and fourteen freight trains on the lines he covered, whiah he was virtually control ling with the little telegraph instrument on which his forefnger pressed. In this, as we'll as the position of engineer, the pay is not so large as it should be when the responsibility resting on the employe is considered. The best salaried train dispatchers only receive $15O per mon tn, while probably eighty per cent. get less than $1OO. An equalization of salaries according to responsibility of position is needed in railway service"
