Joints are sometimes used to sustain the
withs, but the other bond is better, par
ticularly in tall chimneys, when a thor
ouch interlocking Of the withs with the
walls adds very greatly to the strength OF
the shaft. The topping OUT Of the chin
ney, above the roof, should be done with
mortar containing equal parts Of lime and
cement. Unless thus made waterproof,
every rain will saturate the mortar, dis
solving and loosening it until the whole
stack begins to lean toward the windward
side, and then speedily decays. Fol- the
same reason the four upper courses
should be laid in clear cement, unless a
stone or iron cap is used. Nothing else
will long stand the disintegrating action
of rain, added to that of the acid vapors
from the burning fuel. No overhanging
projection in the shape Of a base should
be allowed where the chimney leaves the
roof. In the inevitable settlement of the
whole stack the upper portion will be
caught upon the ~rafters, and the remain
der sinking way from il, q dangerous
seam will be opened just above the board
ing.
Even before the ch;mneys are started,
the cross tuning Of the ceilings will be

inches apart from centres, 2 inches wide
and q OF ii inches thick, the latter for
3-coat plastaring. 1t is Of great import
ance to get these truly level, to prevent
inequalities in the finished ceiling. Or
binary carpenters take strips with a
straight edge rs they nail to the beams,
hacking away q little from 4 beam and
filling up q deficiency in another by

them on, gaaging from the upper side in

mangled unless a rigid watch is kept.

Men Who Live in Trees.

DR.. Louis Wolf, who made the Gcnsa-
tional discovery a while ago that the San
kuru river afforded a more direct and more
easily navigated route to Central Africa
than the Congo; made another discovery in
the course of the same journey which was
quite as remarkable if not so important.
On the banks of the Lomamia river, far
toward the center of the Continent, he
says he, found whole villages that were
built in the trees. The natives, partly to
protect themselves from the river when in
flood and partly to make it more difficult
for their enemies to surpris them, built
their huts on the limbs Of the trees where
the thick foliage almost completely hides
the structures from view. The inmates
possess almost the agility of monkeys. and
they climb up TO or descend from their little
houses with astonishing ease. tits believ-
ed that they are the only Africans yet
known who live in trees.
In Borneo some Of the natives are said to
live in trees, and Mr.. Chalmers, in his book
on New Guinea, tells of a number Of tree
houses thai lie visited on that island.
These huts, which are built near the top,
Of very high trees, are used for lookout
purposes. OF as place of refuge fer women
and children in case Of attack. They are
perfect little huts with sloping roofs and
platforms in front, 10 which extends the
long ladder, By meansof which the natives
reach their huts. 3Ir. Gill describes ON
of the houses which was used As u resi-
dcnee. lie says it was well-built, but that

The Flower Trade Of london.

The flower trade of London is estimated
at a value of $4,000 day, and is showing
a rapid increase with every season. The
great metropolis not only draws its varied
supplies of flowers and plants from its own
southwestern counties with their mild and
equable climate, but reaches out to France
and Italy for its collections of the choicest
and most costly specimens. There is
regular flower train between Nice and
Cannes to London in the early spring, but
the immense cost of this transportation
has led to the formation of great estab-
lishments in the united kingdom for the
supply of this lucrative demand
The largest one of the kind is situated
on an estate at Carmarthen, in south
Wales, belonging to Capt. Mansfield, of the
royal navy. There are great many sep
arate buildings for the cultivation of diff
ferent plants. Thus there are no less than
100000 lilies of the valley In the hothouses,
with roses, camellias, carnations, pansies
jasmines and heliotropes in like proper
tions. There are eighteen large forcing
houses that, with the appendices, form
100000 feet of glass, with six miles of
pipes.-San Francisco Chronicle.

THE SOLDIER VOTE.
From the N. Y. SUM-

Various small politicians in congress,
and some men who ought to know bot
ter and do know better, are tumbling
over one another In their wild haste to
get the .ssoldier vote" .J
Is there anything in the soldier voter
Are not soldiers like other men, and do
they not vote one with another2 The
assumption that veterans of the war
vote or can be induced to vote togeth-
er as class or caste is wholly gratui-
tous.
The assumption, too, that veterans
can be brought to vote this way or that,
or for or against this candidate or that,
according to the size of the pensions
that are offered by congress, is Q most
insulting one to every self-respecting
veteran. Yet this is really the idea OF
the pension schemers In congress. A
pension, IN the mind of these gentle-
men, is q bribe offered for political
effect.
But if the boodlers succeed In pro-
ducing a big deficit in the treasury and
in making taxation higher, they will
soon find that the country, which has
to pay the bills, will have no mercy for
the men who contract them.
