materials obtained will not sell for more
than the cost Of demolishing the build
ings. but on the other hand, these materials
can be most advantageously used in putting up
other structures For example, the bricks are
Just as good for minor walls and for the filling
Of walls as new ones would be. When you un-
derstand that new bricks Of the common sort
cost S12 per 1000 you will realize the saving we
make by utilizing large part of the 275, 900 old
bricks obtained from the Tracy mansion in the
construction Of q new house which is to be built
for Mrs. A. G. Tyler on the site. Such Of the
bricks as we do not want we can sell
to dealers at Sc o thousand. The pressed
bricks, which made the outside coat Of the ex-
posed wall, cost from $50 to $40 a thousand new
and are worth more than common ones second
hand; but they are thrown in with the rest be-
cause 1t would not pay to bother about sepa-
rating them. Pressed bricks are much more
expensive for the reason that they are all made
in molds by hand and are subsequently loaded
with hay, to prevent them from breaking, and
carefully piled instead Of being merely dumped
TEARING DOWN AND BUILDING UP.
"In taking such . contract to pull down .
building and put up another in its place one
agreement usually covers the whole business,
the contractor taking the old house for what
the materials in Is are worth and allowing a
corresponding amount on the bargain. The
expense Of demolshing the Tracy residence
was about 1880. To begin with. We gave a
contract 10 DulAder 10 perform the labor OF
tearing down the house, clearing the lot and
pilIng up the debris neatly in front. The lum-
Der will come in for the new house, being as
good as ever, and, in fact, better, because
thoroughly seasoned. Much Of the stuff OBJ
tanned in such cases 10 saleable. For instance,
the steam-heating men are glad to buy the
lead and iron piping, the Steamboat piping,
the boilers, radiators, and SO forth. Such cut
stones as are not desired are sold to dealers in
stone. To the junk dealer are handed over, at
SO much pound, all the sheet-tin roofing and
tin coverings of the furnace pipes. The man.
tel pieces, interior wood work Of all sorts, in
Guiding doors, panels, window frames and
wash boards, find purchasers in contractors
who are putting up small houses in the suburbs
Ranges and stoves are sold to the dealers in
such goods, who resell them for small houses
that are being newly erected. Such things as
bath tubs and closet fxings the con-
tractor will usually take off the architects
hands as O matter Of courtesy. II the con-
tractor does not want them himself he sells
them to another contractor for small houses,
which are, generally speaking, made up of
odds and ends to considerable extent. Mrs.
Tyler paid $4,000 for the Tracy house and lot,
$50, $50 being for the land. What her new
house is to cost it would not be professional for
me to make public"

Not q Hindoo Hoodoo.

From the Boston Post.
Miss Bella Law, well known in suburban So
ciety, was married in Ottawa the other day to
DIR. Merkhim, Hindoo oculist, who opened
an Office there some months ago. The we'd
ding has created Q decided sensation, owing
to the brides prominence. The marriage APP
pears to have been the result Of love at first
sight. The fair bride, hearing OF the miracu-
lous cures which the oculist was effecting
went to him for treatment. and the blandish-
ments of the oriental doctor seem to have
touched her heart The Rev. A. w. Mackay
performed the wedding ceremony. which was
witnessed by a large number of spectators
The bride was supported by her brother and
was attired in fascinating costume Of cream
colored silk The groom looked handsome
and gallant in a brilliant red plush coat, trim
med with ermine, velvet breeches and plush
cap. Miss Law had many admirers, but for
sock them all for the man she loved

Paid or in His Own Coin.

From the Boston Saturday Evening Gazette.
A remarkable case Of diamond cut dia-
mond" occurred in Boston recently, not far
from the Providence railroad station. A drug
gist had fitted up neat corner store and had
established at once fine trade. One day
another druggist entered his store and said:
II want to buy you out How much will you
take?" II do not want TO sell, was the reply.
~ expected that answer" said the encroach-
ing person, '.and am prepared for it. Now, if
you don't sell out to me will open q drug
store in opposition on the opposite corner
How much viii you take?" The druggist,
offended at this species OF brow-beating, said
he would sleep on it and report the next morn
ing. At the appointed hour the aspirant was
in the store and large price was named. The
bargain was bound The druggist who had
been thus ousted from corner which he had
fitted up with view to years Of peace and
profit sought the owners Of the opposite corner
which had been held out 10 him as . threat, se-
cured from them long lease, worked night
and day, and now has drug store, in which
any community might take satisfaction and re-
pose conAdence. What II more, he il doing .
better business than he did In the former
locality.

cart seems to have been reduced TO its low

sort one sees exposed for sale at temporary
auction rooms-usually landscapes in astouud-
ing colors, with water that has solidified look
and frames very brightly gilded. These pic
lures, which are mostly sold to country people,
are made very largely in New York city almost
wholly by stencil process. The first design is
turned out by hand without much difficulty.
No attempt ID made to initiate nature very
closely; 1t 10 much easier and quite 40 useful
for the purpose to sketch in out OF ones head q
mountain or two. with . meadow. perhaps, and
q stream over which rustic bridge leads to a
woodland lane beyond. This 10 quite a. COM
plicated pattern as is desirable for painting
Of the kind, and it 10 best to mingle the colors
as little As possible. The pattern once made
in this way hundreds Of copies Of it are turned
out with the utmost rapidity by gang
workman 10 provided with . stencil plate rep
resenting some part Of the design Number
one takes q fresh sheet Of canvas stretched
upon frame and. laying his stencil over the
Upper part Of it, passes brush filed with
light blue paint across the plate. That makes
the sky OF the picture that is to be. The can
vas is then handed over to number two, who
puts in green meadow in precisely the same
manner below the sky. Number three adds a
purple mountain likewise, number four q red
house, and SO on until the picture is mapped
out entirely and has only to 60 into the hands
Of the 'fnisher' for its final touches. In this
way gang Of stencil artists working together
can turn out several hundred works Of art
daily. They are not OF a very high order, but
well as if they were by great masters"

TO LEARN TO SHOOT.

exception if a man docs not qualify and, in
many companies, every man wears marks
mans badge. This is practical So
luton of the question how to put down
riot. No mob that was ever organized could
stand three minutes in front Of company OF a
frst-class regiment OF the present day, all
marksmen armed with breech leaders, who, in
that time would fire at least ten shots, every
knowledge that this skill exists is possessed by
that part of our population who are likely TO
participate in a mob. They do not relish the
idea of being shot any better than anybody else,
and have no desire to expose themselves to the
certain consequences which they feel would
70 blow if they should become conspicuous in q
demonstration of that character.
IN THE WEST AND SOUTH
There have been great improvements made
n the National Guard Of Chicago. The first
regiment Of Illinois have just teken possession
of magnificent armory and, in the last ten
years. the progress in the National Guard Of ILL.,
nois has been marked. From what have heard
this Improvement in Chicago has been largely
the work of public-spirited citizens rather than
of the state, but il has been none the less i'm
portant on that account In Missouri there
has been trouble between the National Guard
and the legislature, which am informed has
practically resulted in disbandment Of all the
organizations For two years the Legislature
refused to make an appropriation, and the
National Guard, having struggled along and
paid their own bills for one year, at the close
Of the second practically disbanded.
Throughout the south generally they are do
ing the best they can. But the states are poor
and, practically, the only means which they
have of supporting their National Guard IL the
meager share they receive from the annual
United States appropriation. Their troops, -
. rule. are uniformed precisely the same -
the regular army and they do the best they
can 10 enforce drill and discipline, but they are
q great disadvantage compared with the
richer stateG 0Bo. W. WuoArl
