How to Measure Brick Wall.

How to Measure Brick Wall.
Readers in many branches of trade
will be glad to know this method of
estimating brick work, which is OBJ
tanned from an authority on the sub
iect: Ordinary bricks are about eight
inches in length, and with the mortar
Joint about half that in width, so that
each brick on the fiat will give hori-
zontal surface of about 80 square
inches, or 4 IL bricks will cover a
square foot. AS ordinarily laid, there
are nine courses to every "a inches, or
41-2 to the foot. Four and a half
courses. with IL bricks to the course
will give 20 IA bricks to the cubic
foot Waste, cutting and closer joints
will easily require an allowance OF
twenty-one bricks per cubic foot,
which will be found a very conven-
lent figure for estimating the number
OF bricks required for wall of given
height and thickness, as it thus be-
comes unnecessary to find the cubic
con tents OF the wall, but merely to
multiply it's face area, or the product
of its length and height in feet, by
seven .fourths of it's thickness in
inches, which, as the thickness is al
ways some multiple of four inches, is
a very simple process.-The Artisan

ford and policemen Heitgen and

fled out the back window an MD

tured. The girl refused to go back
to her mother and had to be threat

consented to do so. While the Off

Woodford (Ky.) Argus: In Wood
ford county Mr.. John d. Burns raised
a large drove of turkeys this year
and by placing a bell on the old
mother that led them he accustomed
them to follow the sound. When
the time came to work his tobacco
field he removed the hell, placing it on
his own waist, and while working his
crop with the hoe the hungry turkeys
followed the familiar tinkle of the
bell, picking the stalks clean Of the
worms as they followed him up one
row and down the other. The tur-
keys have done the work of five men
and saved the crop.

In villege in the canton of Lucer-
ne Switzerland, there is a society of
old maids. 1t numbers eighty men,
bers, and queer enough, it is under
the patronage of the St Catherine
matrimonial agency. They perform
acts of charity, and are highly esteem
ed in their eighbOrhOod.
It is proposed to substitute wooden
clappers for the iron ones now i'm use
on locomotives running into New
York and which are so often COM
planned Of as nuisances. The sound
would still make noise enough to be
heard where they should be, while
the neigh borhood would get a rest.

that constitutions are growing longer by
restrictions upon legislatures, hc claimed
that this result was rather from increas7
ing necessity of restricting the people.
All new constitutions are full OF shall

hold convention ut Helena not
later than Feb. ]. The object OF the
meeting Is to prepare bill to be pre-
sented to the Legislature regulating
certain defects iD existing laws. One
OF the principal causes Of complaint Is
the fee law, which is in the third year
Of Its operation. The effect OF this
law. the officers claim, is such ~ TO
cut down their remuneration 10 q
point below what is right. The sheriff
OF Silver Bow couaty, for instance,
says his Office, after be pays the help
which 10 absolutely necessary for him
TO employ, is not worth dollar day
TO him. The sherifis want some
changes made In the existing Law pro-
viding penalty for resisting an officer
while making an arrest. As the laws
at present stand an officer, even IL hs
sees an offender In the act of commit
ting q crime. is not protected by law
In making bis arrest unless be shall
have first provided himself with q
warrant. The sherlffs think the law
should give them ample power in this
matter.
