Strength of W ais.

1t is found that walls laid up oil
good, hard burned bricks, in mortar
composed of good lime and sharp
sand, will resist a pressure of 1900
pounds per square inch, or zig, 600
pounds persquare foot, at which fig
r it would require 1000 feet
height of twelve inch wall to crush the
bottom courses, allowing 135
pounds as the weight of each cubic
foot. It also appears from accurate
calculations and meas urements that
walls laid up in the same quality OF
brick and mortar, with one-third
quantity of Portland cement. added
to the same, are capable of resisting
some $500 pounds per square inch
or 100000 pounds per square foot;
this would require a height of wall
2,7OO feet to crush the bottom
bricks.-Builder and Wood worker.

A Few Points Of Etiquette.

In the mad whirl of the cotilon, if
you wear ready made clothing
bought from an irresponsible dealer,
and hear a b-z-z-t that don'tharmon-
ize with the F string on the bass fid-
die, it is entirely correct and proper
to not forward and back accord
ing to the commands of the figure
caller, but to back straight ahead
without baking until you reach the
wall, when a pin neatly utilized may
cover your embarrassment and re-
treat. People who smoker under such
circumstances should be put outside
the pale of good society.
When invited out to dinner and
you inadvertently get a huge mouth
full of mince pie that is hot enoughto
melt the solder on a gas pipe, tan,
gled up in your epiglottis, do not act
as if you had the whooping cough,
but arise calmly and with a sleight-
of-hand movement toss the offending
morsel behind the majolica dog in the
corner, meantime patting his head as
though you thought him alive. This
graceful act never fails to win the
heart of your hostess, who thinks
you intend her faithful friend to par.
take of the festivities.
When the sheriff of the county
serves a subpoena on you, it is consid.
cred in good taste to attend his re-
ception without further invitation on
his part. Some sticklers on polite
ness, however, who find that it will
prevent their witnessing a ball game,
60 to the extreme of sending around
a physicians certificate to the effect
that they are indisposed from the in,
fuence of the sportive element.

The Battle OF The Future.

Lord Wolseley's picture of the bat
tie of the future in his review OF Col
onel Maurice's article on war is re-
markable chiefly because of the con-
fidence with which he relies upon the
examination of noise: zone remark
able change will be the absence Of
nearly all terrific noise which the.dis-
charge of 500 or 600 field guns and
the roar of musketry caused in all
great battles. We shall have
practically no smoke to mark the
position of the enemy's batteries and
troops in action. The sound of can
non will be slight and will no longer
indicate to distant troops where
their comrades are engaged or the
point upon which they should con-
sequently march," What with
smokeless powder and noiseless
artillery all our old ideas of battle
will be revolutionized. But is it not
possible that now and then, at the
proper psychological moment, a
commander who suddenly served
out some of the genuine old roar
ing kind of powder might
do more by the sudden out
break of the battle thunder to de-
moraiize the enemy than by the un-
masking of a whole pork of artil-
lery?-Pall Mall Gazette.

Cheerfi11 Old Apa

81 look upon death to be as neces-
sary to our constitution as Sleep" says
DR.. Franklin, in one of his letters: ''wc
shall rise refreshed IN the morning"
In this cheerful vein wrote the phi
losopher and statesman at the age.of 80.
His vision was at this time much i'm
paired, and he suffered severely from
govt; but these Affections, he tells us,
did not prevent him ''enjoying the
pleasures of society, and being cheer
full in conversation.
There is something inexpressibly
beautiful in old age, when thus exhib-
tied devoid of querulousness, discon-
tent or gloom, and free, also, from un-
becoming levity.
We know of no good reason why the
closing years of life should be sorrow
full simply because they are the last.
AS the pilgrims failing feet bear him
lettering through the final scenes of
this "strange, eventful history" the
peace and happiness of the world be-
yond must seem to him, one would
think, more desirable at every step.
Even if the backward prospect be dark
with errcts, there is light before
light attainable; and the great truth
that it may be reached should be a
mighty consolation.
The traveller knows that however
he may have swerved from the direct
path that leads to his wished-for haven
of peace, it is still open to him, and
that it rests with himself to strike in
to it, even close to the terminus, and
attain the rest to which it tends.
