Moving an Immense Building.

At a recent meeting of the Engineers
Club of Philadelphia, Howard Murphy,
the Secretary, read a detailed descrip-
ton of the moving of the Hotel Pelham
at fremont and Boylston Streets, Bos-
ton, for the purpose of widening Ire
mont Street. This hotel is built of free
stone and brick, ninety-six and sixty
nine feet frontage. The Boylston street
wall is supported on eight granite col
umns twelve feet high, three and four
feet square. There are basement and
seven stories above the sidewalk; height
above tramway on which it was moved
ninety-eight feet; weight, 5000 tons,
exclusive of furniture, which was not
disturbed during removal, nor were the
occupants of the stores on the first floor
and some of the rooms, the various piPc
connections being kept up with flexible
tubes.
Careful experiments with models
showed that, if the lower part of the
building was firmly braced, there was
no danger of shifting in the parts above.
The general arrangements consisted of
heavy and substantial stone and brick
foundations for iron rails and rollers,
and the building was forced to its new
position with fifty screws two inches in
diameter, one-half in pitch, operated by
hand against timbers arranged to uni
formly distribute the pressure against
the building. Much care and ingenuity
were displayed in the details of the ar
engagements. Two months and twenty
days were occupied in preparation.
The actual time of moving was but
thirteen hours and forty minutes. The
greatest speed was two inches in four
minutes. The hotel moved about one
eighth of an inch at each quarter-turn
of the screws. The whole distance
moved was thirteen feet ten inches.
For the work 4.351 days labor was le-
quired. The whole cost was $4,000.
This is the largest building that has
ever been removed, although larger
ones have been raised, which latter is
a most simple and less risky operation.
The complete success of this undertak-
ing is shown by the act that cracks
which existed in the walls prior to re-
moval were not changed by the opera
ton. Paper was pasted over them be-
fore commencing, that any change
might be seen.-Engineering and Min
ing Journal.

He Found Her Brave Enough.

The well-known fish-monger, MIR. AL
bert A. Wilson, lives in the Warwick SUBJ
urbs, his house overlooking the bay and
somewhat isolated from other dwellings.
He married a wife not long ago, and pre-
sented her with revolver, as a protec-
lection against tramps, who, trudging
along the railroad, sometimes called at
the house for food, but did not think she
had the courage to use it. Going home
few evenings ago in jocular mood.
Wilson raped at the door, Disgusting his
voice, and was refused admittance. He
then went around to the back door and
tried it, demanding something to eat
but Mrs. Wilson declined to open the
door to a stranger. He then shook the
front door and peeped in at the window,
when there was a report inside, a crash
ing of glass, and q bullet whizzed by the
head of the festive joker, so close that he
hastily withdrew and gave his name. as
he heard the ominous preparations for
another shot. he was admitted, and was
more than satisfied that the result of his
experiences proved beyond reasonable
doubt that Mrs. w. had all the requisite
courage to use a weapon when it was
necessary to protect the house from in
truders. -ProUidence (R. ~ Journal

Table Manners.

There are some people who should
never ioin a company at dinner, unless
their arms are skewered at their sides
like trussed fowls, for then they will not
put out their neighbors eyes with their
elbows. There are others who should
be deprived of the privilege of speech at
such times, so that they could not spoil
everybodv's dinner with an account of
the last medicine they took, interspersed
with comparisons between the relative
merits of rhubarb and castor oil, powders
and pills. A manual of good behavior
while at table ought to be placed with
the menu before such people for the pro-
lection of society, or printed list of
rules slipped into the napkin: Turn
your head away when you cough;' ''Do
not breathe into your glass;" ''Do not
fidget at table, ''Avoid talking about
medicines, false teeth, or the state of
your stomach" ''Never criticise the food
at a table where you are guest"
breathe gently, no snoring allowed"
1T is considered ill-mannered to pick
your teeth or clean your nails at the
tables" and most of other things which
are not to be DONE If it would seem
breach of good manners to place such
reminder before guest, what must be
the delicacy of guest who would prac-
tice any of these things? 1t is not from
ignorance as much as carelessness that
they do so. They simply carry the man
ners of the camp into the court. There
are many little touches of etiquette in
vogue now at table which can be acquired
by observation, but the common rules of
proper behavior are always the same.
Ignorance will often pass unnodced If it
does not betray itself The countryman
who, dining in company, saw finger
bowl for the first time, attracted the at
tention of the whole table by the loud
tones in which he refused It.: Il don't
drink lemonade, waiter; AXE it away
and bring me bowl of drinking water"
If he had waited momen and observed
others he would have discovered its use.
A writer on table etiquette says:
Eat slowly, as if it wee apleasure you
desired to prolong, rather than duty
to be got rid of as quietly as possible.
Don't bring your preudices, your dis
likes, your annOyances, your past mis-
fortunes or future fGebodings to the
table. That would spill the best of din
nerS.
Respect the hour of meals. You have
no right to injure thetemper of the cook,
destroy the flavor of the viands and the
Comfort of the family by your want of
punctuality .-Detr0E Post and Tribune.

Bismarck as IA Patient.

1t may be interesting to many of our
readers, says the Berliner 7idg6iGtt, to
take a look at the most powerful states
man of the age, the iron Chancellor,
on his weak side, namely, as patient.
The Princes chief trouble, as is well
known, is painful nervous affection,
which the physicians call ''sciatica," and
which they greatly dread on account of
its obstinacy, beside this, the Chancellor
suffers at times from an infiammatory
swelling of the veins in the feet, and like
all other mortals, occasionally from light
er indispositions, colds and Indigestion.
1t seems that the patient is as inconsist-
ent regarding the methods of his treat
ment as he is in other matters. With the
same feeling of absolute indifference
which, according to his own words, he
manifests in certain political topics, he
also deals with the exigencies of the medi-
cal science Homeopathy or allopathy-
it is all one to HIM, as long as he believes
one or the other will cure him. 1t has
even happened that he allowed himself
to be treated by an allopathic physician,
and soon after by a homeopathic. When
at Friedrichsruh, he sends for Privy San
itary Councillor DR.. Dohn, of Hamburg,
who is an allopath. At Varzin, when
medical attendance is needed, the physi-
clan, also an allopath, in the adjacent
town Of Schlawe is applied to. When at
Kissengen, the Prince conSults the we'll
known DIR. Diruf, also an adherent of the
old school. During his stay at Berlin,
however, he inclines to the homeopathic
treatment,
Since 1870 the Chancellor, as we'll as
the whole of his family, are regularly at
sended by Sanitary Councillor DIR. Twin
genberg, one of the most noted repre-
sentatives of homeopathy in Berlin. New
ertheless Cat all events before 1870, the
Chancellor also frequently consulted the
present Director of the Imperial Sanitary
Bureau, Dr. Struck, (allopatD. At pres
ent DR.. Zwingenberg seems to be the
Chancellor's only medical adviser, who
visits the patient twice day, and has
frequently been sent for from Varzin as
well as from Friedrichsruh. Previously
Prince Bismarck had put himself in the
hands of the late Dir. Vehsemeyer, and
before mm in those of DIR. Kleinschmidt,
occasionally, also, DR., Mertens, all of
them homeopathists The Prince has
frequently expressed the opinion that he
is less concerned about the mode of treat
ment than about the result of the same.
At times he goes so far as to insist upon
being restored to health and activity
within specified time; if the physician
succeeds in this the Prince is content,
but rarely ever has a word of apprecia-
ton for the brilliant achievements of his
medical attendants. Thus it will be seen
that the iron Chancellor, even in pr.
waite life, stands on Us completely reals
tic ground, and calculates as reals.

A Greedy Boy.

Little Johnny Getaways piaymates
called him Johnny Pig and dom
wonder that they did, for he was one of
the greediest boys that ever lived
Almost every day when dinner was
over and he had eaten 50 much he could
not eat any more, he would beg his
mamma with dreadful whine not to
give what was left of the pudding or
pie-which wasn't much, can assure
you-to any one else, but to put it away
in the closet so that he might ''eat it
by-and-by."
And often he would stand for an hour
at a time before the windows of the
bakery or candy-store, with the tears
running down his cheeks. in the deepest
grief because he could not eat everything
he saw there.
And he would follow men who were
selling fruit from street to street, just
as other boys follow the soldiers, or
monkey on hand-organ, in hopes that
at last, to get rid of him, they would
give him an apple, or an orange, or Il
banana.
Well, late one very cloudy afternoon,
Johnny Pig was coming from the drug
gist's with a small bottle of paregoric
for the baby, who had a pain (paregoric

lowed that he could be trusted witty,

At last, Johnny Pig, who was by this

getting dark, asked the man what they
were.
"Cakes," said the man.

An Ugly Beast.

Mr.. P. J. Hogan, the gas-fitter for the
opera festival, had a narrow escape from
death by a fright on Friday afternoon,
when he came in contact with real,
live alligator four feet long in a place
where no one would ever expect to find
such varmint.n About eighteen
months ago the geological garden loaned
to the exposition young alligator two
feet long to adorn the cascade in Horti-
cultural Hall and give an appearance OF
wildness to the artificial scene by the
presence of animal life of a repulsive
kind. The alligator behaved very well
for some time, and satiated his appetite
with bugs, flies and mosquitoes. But
one night he disappeared, and he was
mourned for lost or stolen, although the
commissioners thought that there was no
man in Cincinnati mean enough to carry
away an alligator. In few months the
absence of the loathsome creature was
forgotten, and it was believed that he
wandered off and died.
On Friday Mr.. Tom Wise sent for Mr..
p. j. Hogan to connect the street gas
with the Music Hall building. 1t will be
remembered that the Elm Street front of
Horticultural Hall is about three feet
above the level of the part used for the
cascade and exhibit of plants. Into this
raised portion Mr.. Hogan went boldly
with wrench and lantern, but he had
scarcely disappeared from view when a
most unearthly yell was heard, and the
poor plumber without lantern, hat or
tools, rushed out to where the astonished
Wise and his assistants stood. Hogan
hair stood up like bristles on the fretful
porcupine, and his eyes rolled with such
an expression of terror that the other
men shrank from him.
Mr.. Wise, thinking the man frightened
without cause, undertook to explore the
cavern and beard the monster in his den,
but he was only absent few seconds,
and made quicker time in reaching day
light than Hogan. He staid long enough,
however, to find out that the reptile was
an alligator, and at a rapid glance seemed
to measure four feet in length. Here
then, was the alligator which was sup
posed to be lost, and Hogan had found
him. 1t had probably crawled into this
retreat and had hibernated in the moist
marshy ground. The food which Mr..
Alligator had INDUCED in probably con-
sisted of rats and small bugs and insects.
At any rate he is still alive and has in
creased his length during his mysterious
absence about two feet. But there seems
to be disposition to let him severely
alone, as the gas has not yet been con-
nected. Wise and Hogan declare they
are satisfied to let him stay. The inge-
nuity of man will probably capture him
at last, and with the help of one hun
dred men, with clubs and a derrick, it
is probable the festive alligator will be
soon gay corpse. Mr., Wise will take
up the floor to-day, and, with ropes will
remove his alligatorship. The reptile
should be taken back to the home of his
younger days at the Geological garden,
and preserved for having a history more
romantic than any of his species.

Draw Poker as a Disease.

Draw poker is q most fascinating vet
sieceiving game. One of the peculiari-
ties of the game is that the beginner, as
soon as he finds out that one certain
kind of hand beats another, and that a
bluff. if successful, beats any hand,
thinks he can play the game better than
any man. If he holds poor hand once,
and bets big on it, and scares out an old
veteran, when he rakes in the money he
cocks his hat on one side and thinks how
rich he might have been if he had learned
to play poker before, He wonders why
everybody does not give up business and
play poker and get rich. AS, he counts
over the chips he has won so easily by a
simple display of nerve, he says to him
self 3''This game is good enough for
yours truly. Henceforth hard work and
me will dissolve partnership" He keeps
on playing. When he wins his hat is
cooked ON one side, and when he loses

one side most of the time, then he gets
