ried this way or that way with perfect
safety and yet, in nine cases out of ten,
where this Is done it will S. '0ke.
In one very handsome h sc that cost
many thousand dollars the main chimney
was thus carried away from its course to
suit some picturesque angle in Il floor
above, and every time fire was lit in the
noble fireplace in the great hall the whole
house was filled with smoke, so that finally
the entire flue from the second story up
had to be built over again. This, of course,
involved taking down almost the whole
chimney
If however, 1t is simply impossible, as is
sometimes the case to run up q straight
and perpendicular flue, remember at all
events that there must be no angles, that
the flue must be curved in the direction in
in which 1t is to 20.
Architects are frequently great tyrants
in the matter of placing and construction
of chimneys, and many one who is build
ing a new house has had to give up some
cherished fancy about a particular ingle-
nook on account of the pros and cons
raised by the architect. 1--WE are going
to build our house." said a young woman
to an old aunt of the family who lived in
ing on the Hudson. 1--WE are leaving it
all to Mr.. R, our architect, but there is
one thing wish to copy exactly, and that
Is the great fireplace in the hall here"
And so she brought her architect took
all the measurements of the ample hearth
and chimney seats and departed. A year
later, when she was living in the com
pleted house her aunt paid her a visit, and
her first thought on entering the hall was
to look for the fireplace There she saw
small tidy affair, pretty, it is true, but the
very reverse of the dear old family gather
ing place in her own house. "Why, Belle"
she said to her niece, "where is your fire.

the other, half laughing. "Mr R grad
ually talked me out of it, said this would
be SO much more in keeping, and so on,
and now have got what | do not want at
all and have not got what do want"
The number is legion of just such cases
as this, and it is very seldom in building
house that one gets just what he most de-
sires to have.-New York Tribune.

Self Appreciating Musicians.

Possibly the observation of some of my
friends will confirm my own, that the
quality of those terrible street instru-
ments, the piano organs, as they are called,
has deteriorated while that of the street
bands has improved. hope soon to find
that the former have disappeared, while
the latter do not hesitate to encourage.
Indeed, | have a suspicion that among
these rowing MINISTRIES might be found, if
we could penetrate their disguise, some of
those who delight high priced audiences in
the winter season with chamber music and
other delicacies of sound. The orchestras
of the last season certainly have disap-
peared; why is it incredible that, deprived
of their winter occupation, they may have
adopted this humble calling for the sum
mer? Some of them do not lack the dis
tinctive artistic spirit.
For instance, friend of mine who thinks
much of himself as n musician, and who
shares my preference for a comfortable
residence in town Mt this season, was APP
pealed to through his open window by the
leader of one of these bands the other even

Their Counties.
WASHINGTON, Sept. 10. - The post
master general has already received
nearly 300 replies to his letter of request
to county seat postlnasters to visit the
postofficcs in their counties, and after
interchanging ideas with the postmas-
tiers, make their reports upon the con
dition of the service and their sugges-
tons for its improvement, to the de-
partment.
In four-hfths of these replies the post
master gladly accepted the work, and a
few have even sent in their reports.
About one-fifth undertake the plan with
some notifications. which were perfect
ly acceptable to the department, and
only very few state that they cannot
undertake the work, having no assist
ant in their Offices.
The postmasters who have already I'M
dertaken the work speak of the public
criticism that the plan has attracted
both In newspapers and among citizens
generally. The heartiness of the re-
Spouse Is especially noticeable from the
states of Maryland, South Carolina, Ala
bama and Indiana, though the response
has been hearty from every state yet
heard from.
II is noticed in many of the letters that
the county seat postmasters are already
on familiar terms with the other post
masters, having had much correspond
ence with them, and are, therefore, the
more eager to undertake these travels
among them and form better acquaint-
anceship. A feature of the replies very
gratifying to the postmaster general is
that Democratic postmasters seem quite
as much in sympathy with the inquiry
as any others,

The most notable feature in industrial
finance during the last year or two has
been the turning of so many large com.
mercial and manufacturing establishments
into great stock companies, the shares of
which are put upon the market just as the
shares of railroad companies or municipal
or state bonds are. Since English capital
lists turned the large brewing interests in
the United States into corporations of this
kind their example has been followed by
great dry goods establishments, several
great grocers, and more lately several
large printing establishments in New York
have followed the same policy. This growth
of industrial capitalization has caused the
organization, both in Europe and in this
country, of companies TO promote such
plans, and it is expected that the securities
Of these industrial properties will play a
larger and larger part on our stock ex-

months ago, leaving word that she was

volition, and was not abducted or inter

1.-THE small size of the screw" says a

Each Inmate to Pass Through a Special
Examination.
WASHINGTON, Sept. 12.-Tho board of
managers Of the national homes for dis
abled volunteer soldiers concluded its
quarterly meeting Thursday. The board
made the allotment of appropriations
for the current quarter, and submitted
to the secretary of war the estimates for
the next fiscal year. AT its last meet
ing the board created medical boards at
each branch home to examine inmates
and ascertain what proportion Of them
are not disabled or able to maintain
themselves. These reports were con-
sidered.
In the central branch the board found
that thirty five inmates should be ex-
cluded because they have sufficient in
come to maintain themselves, and that
seventeen inmates should be excluded
because they were physically able. The
board has not yet determined upon the
line of policy to be pursued in these
cases. 1t is the desire to rid the homes
of the inmates who are really able to
take care of themselves in order to af-
ford room, for deserving veterans who
are knocking at the doors of the homes
But 80 many considerations arise that it
is not pra ticable to apply Il general
