An Architectural Paradox.

From the Philadelphia Record.
Wood joists are being used in the con-
struction of the building on Walnut
street above Fourth street, in prefer
ence to iron to guard against danger in
case of fire. Strange as such state
ment may appear it is matter of fact
that many New England Luilders con-
tend that the wood joists, encased in
plaster, are proof against any ordinary
fire, and for many reasons are much pre-
ferred by them to the ordinary regula-
ton freproof iron joists. The joists are
stripped" on the outside, and over
these strips irons are run, and on these
the plaster is spread. The theory is
that In any ordinary fire these joists
thus treated will be freproof, and omy
when the fire has. reached such f,..
that the building must 90 anyway viii
they be affected. Here comes in
one Of the advantages claimed for them.
When building is being burned by a
furious fire the iron joists expand and
crush out the walls and do other dam
age. The wood joists would simply be
burned up without injuripg the walls at

How to Dispose Of the Bones.

The quickest way to convert bones in
to a fertilizer is to burn them. Some
may claim that they lose many of their
valuable compounds: which to some ex-
stent is true. They contain two to four
sper cent. of nitrogen; valued in ground
Bones at from eleven to seventeen cents
a pound. On every hundred pounds
there is loss of twenty-five to sixty:
eight cents worth Of nitrogen. This loss
may be easily repaired by adding some
Of the heterogeneous fertilizers when they
have been pulverized to powder. There
is another item that nearly makes up for
this snail loss Of nitrogen, and that is
the potash derived from the ashes of the
wood fires used in the burning. The
bone ash produced by the above plan is
said to retain all the phosphoric acid of
the raw bones. Its value may be rated
at about $40 per ton. If there is any
quicker or more economi Cal way of re-
drcing them to the form of fertilizer
we would be glad to hear of it.

ABLOODY FIELD.
Incident of the Battle of Seycn Pines.

Incident of the Battle of Seven Pines
From the Ohio Times. .r'E
We were driven back at Seven Pines
the first day, but on the second we gave
them q little "Hail Columbia, land drove
them back in return about half 4 mile
from where our outside line was estab-
lishcd on the first day. 1t was a most
terrible fight. l had never seen any
thing like it, and as I have never seen
an account of the rebel charge made that
day l will undertake to briefly describe
it. On Il wooden eminence, short dis
lance below where our first line had
been established, two or three batteries
of artillery were stationed by Heintzel-
man. One section Of two pieces was
drawn out fro n the wood and placed in
the clear cornfeld beyond. 1t
was rather dangerous position for
battery to be in without
support. The section had scarcely I'M
limbered when from the woods in their
front there debouched four lines of con-
fcderates (Cheatham's brigade), who, in
rcgimental front and four lines deep,
came pouring down upon the devoted
section. Fire with canister!' COM
manded the weak, little voice of the
young lieutenant who commanded the
section, and the contederates seemed to
laugh at the two little six-pounders
opposing them. "Double shot with can
ister!" said the commander of the
masked guns to the woods, and still the
enemy came on and on, as if on parade
Not musket was fired, and the section
kept booming away with horrible rapid
ity. | had thought that the lieutenant
and his section would turn tail to the
foe, but he did not, but stood there and
worked his guns with the GOODNESS of a
brave man. All at once with a
yell, the enemy started on a double
quick, and in moment more the section
was captured, and the lieutenant was a
mangled corpse. Now came the most
terrible carnage had ever seen. The
capture of the section had evidently
greatly encouraged the foe, and his,hnes
Swept on and up tho hill' until within
about a hundred yards Of the Union
cannon. 1t was a magnificent sight.
The lines had not broken yet. but kept
onward as if marching for, review.
"Fire!" rang out from the woods, and at
least dozen cannon bclched forth their
storm Of death. l can see even now,
men in all the agonies of death piled
like fence-rails one upon another, with
their more fortunate comrades climbing
over their mangled bodies to reach the
guns. The magnificent lines Of a
moment before wavered, then stood
still and then faded away like snow be-
meath the summer sun. The charge was
ended, but few, if any, lived to return.
The field where the enemy had advanced
was a perfect slaughter pen, indeed.
The dead and wounded lay in all direc-
tons, and not one of the men who had
advanced got back again. 1t was a gal
liant charge, and to the noble and brave
lieutenant who commanded the section
alone in the field, and who gave up his
life to duty, was the credit of winning
the battle due. The enemy lost about
1900 in killed, wounded and prisoners.
Our loss was eight men killed and six
teen wounded.

OilfnE Harness.


+ Harness is more rapidly injured in
summer than in winter It is sometimes
soaked with rain, and again subjected to
heat and drying, and the Precipitation of
horses does it no good. If kept we'll
oiled, all these little influences will
cause little ijnury. Many different APP
plications are used, and different modes
rre adopted for employing them. A
common way is first to wash thoroughly
with soap and warm water, and then to
apply neats-foot oil, as the best oil for
the purpose. But different course is
adopted by others. One team manager
informs us that the first thing to do is
always to apply one or two coats of cas-
tyr oil with enough lamp black to give
proper color. BY thus saturating the
leather with oil first, the soap and water
applied afterwards do not penetrate it,
and when leather is permitted to absorb
water it hardens it, and excludes the
so that it is easily washed off, and this
obviates much of the scraping otherwise
required, and the whole operation may
be performed at once. After being
oiled, wash it with a sponge and soap
suds, and when dry, rub over it
mixture of equal parts or oil and tallow,
colored with lamp black, and small
portion of Prussiar blue. This is SUBJ
stantially the process recommended,
and We shall be glad to hear from
those who have tried different meth
DDS, as to their comparative value, and
of the benefit of applying the oil first,
and the fitness of castor oil as COM
pared with other applications. While
in farm work in summer, it is we'll to
recommend for any field work the SIM
plest harness that will answer the pur-
pose, both for the comfort Of the horses,
and to prevent the needless wear and
ed, bellybands nor cruppers. Simple
harness for the farm, kept always in
good order, not liable to breakage, will
be a thing of economy in more ways
than one, and sometimes prevent costly
year.

A Large Post office Business.

Some idea of the extent of the bus
mess of the New York postoffice may
be gained from the statement that the
weight of the postage stamps sold there
during the year amounted to nearly
eighth and one half tons. This did no
include stamped envelopes, stamped
wrappers or postal cards. The revenue
of the office was 81 100000, an increase
OF nearly eleven per cent. over last year,
while the expenses were 81 5000, or
only four and one-half per cent. over
1881. The net revenue at this one
office has increased more than 1885 900
in single year. The money order office
connected with the postotiice performed
more than a million and half trans
actions, involving sum in excess of sixty
three million dollars.
