Laying Brick in Winter.

The singular fact is mentioned that
while in Great Britain building opera
lions arc suspended on the slightest
approach of frost, bricklaying is car
ried on in Norway during almost the
coolest weather that prevails for any
time. Thus, in Christiana, building
during the winter months, it is stated,
has now been practiced for at least
twelve years, but more frequently dur
ing the last five, all the buildings thus
erected having stood remarkably well.
Experience has not shown that walls
built in winter exhibit, subsequently.
more dampness than those erected in
summer. The reverse may be the
case, since the difference between the
temperature of the air and of the NOR
tar cools the latter by evaporation and
takes away great part of the moist
ure. According to the opinion of the
principal builders in Christiana, brick
layers work, executed with due care
in winter, is really superior to similar
work done in SUMMERTIME whole art
of such work in frosty weather con-
sisting simply in the use of unslacked
lime. the mortar prepared with which
is to be made IN small quantities i'm
mediately before use, the proportion
of lime being increased as the Their
mometer falls; the only care required
is to utilize the unslacked lime so
handily and quickly as to enable the
mortar to bind with the bricks before
it cools. Another very important con-
dition is that the bricks be always kept
covered on the building site.-N. Y.

IN QUARANTINE,

One short week since had not thought
That could ever be by aught
So sore afflicted,
Ipa5s the house within whose walls
She is, and may not stop: my calls
Are interdicted.
Alas, how titful Is our bliss:
may not go to her, and this
BY her own order;
Here il the note she wrote 1t in
To Me Ito NE, who long have been
Her hearts sole warder.
The grand stone steps mount no more;
Imay not enter, as before,
And clasp her to me:
Save for a dim light in her room,
The house is silent, wrapped in gloom;
am too gloomy.
Not that she loves me less, although
I'm exled to my studio
And long. Stunned eascls;
But her small brother tpoor dear ladD
Has got what have never had,
Hang 1.-THE measels!

DR.. REEDS ADDRESS
Before the Scott Literary seeie'y at

speciAl correspondence EVENING JouRHAL.
DOVER. June I6-The commencement
exercises of the Conference Academy were
continued by an address before the Scott
LITERARY Society by Rev. Geo. e. Reed,
n ID President of Dickinson College,
last evening. DR.. Reed spoke on the sub
iect THE Hour and the Man" or THE
Qualities that Will Win" After compli-
menting the Conference Academy in the
New England style he entered into his
interesting subject, presenting 1T with
unusual and Characteristic force.
In his first division ON the physical
development of man he showed the true
Yankee belief in the gymnasium in the
great and marked attention paid to the
bodily development of the student in
New England colleges, founded on the
old advice Of Herbert Spencer BE good
animal" Illustrating the great intellec
| tual personages of to-day who we're com
PEELED to retire from the toll and grapple
surrounding the man of worth of today.
he then spoke of the great need Of con-
centricity of purpose in our day, when
the man of universal knowledge has no
place, when the need of competent men
and women was so important. He con.
demned the "smattering" system of edu-
cation, the unintelligible and endless cur.
riculum of the schools of to-day, when
the student gets very little of a great
many branches and none perfect.
| Thoroughness should be our motto.
| Concentration is the chief virtue
as dissipation is the chief evil that is dis
sipation of knowledge, accomplishing q
wide spread smattering and no thorough
ness. Enthusiasm, which he said was 50
often confounded with fanaticism, was
| his last division. He condemned the
| drift of to-day toward practical and cul
tivated coolness; the fear of men tC
throw their whole souls in their actions
| for fear of being called fanatics
He advised all to give swa,
to the noble feelings, strike al
we feel, and not be afrait
that people would attribute it TO fresh
ness. Every man must, to grea
extent, advertise himself or not get ad
vertised Every man must show that h,
is fit for something and when called oil
can do it, The man who sit
down to await success will
wait in vain; he must go in and fight t.
win.
DR.. Reed is man Of noble appearance
and excellent delivery, whole soul man
his whole subject permeated by his en-
thusiastic being. The intense heat pre-
vented large attendance but all whC
heard it spoke of it as one of the few
solid and scholastic addresses that ou
town has been treated to. DR.. Reed re
ceived callers at the Academy to day. II
is bending every effort to continue tn
success of Old Dickinson.
