BLASTING WITH LIME.


llaan oeens Qunz1T
Apropoa q to late Gen. Newtonh
dea3h 4 Htt1s story he told tyven
years Ago. when his work at Hell dAse
made him much-talked-of man
II was in the quarry country Of In
diana. (" he said, where they take great
blocks Of colytic limestone without the
me Of ! pound Of powder. I had heard
Of the process, and I took team q
Greepeburr and drove down to the
ouarries to zee. The superintendent
was : Welshman OF unpromising ap-
pearance. He was certainly an unedu-
Gated man, so far as colleges went, bus
he knew his business.
II asked him how he managed 10
blast such huge blocks OF the rock, and
how much dynamite was required to
the tom. He said he did not use dynar
mite or any other explosive. He simply
used unslaked lime. It astonished me,
but before he took me to the quarry he
set up q piece Of pine board an inch
thick against q wall Of rock, brought
out q revolver and fired at the board.
ssThe bullet passed through, fiat
tened against the stone and fell to the
ground. Then he set up the board
again, and, taking the fattened bullet,
threw it against the beard with aston
ishing skill, striking it each time in the
same place, and after the fifth cast the
board was split from top to bottom.
sssI didn't use as much force when
threw. as when shot, did I 2 he said.
But the board would never split along
the grain by shooting at it. l could
tear that board into pieces shooting.
but If l want it to break in long sec
tiops on the grain don't want to use
such sudden force.
"sThat's how blast with lime
ssAnd then he took me to the quarry.
They had drilled series of holes in
the place he had marked, his Judgment
and trained intelligence telling him
where the dividing line should run.
Then they tamped these holes full Of
unslalxed lime, poured water on it,
keyed them shut and waited. In.
twelve hours the mass Of rock hc
wanted would begin with groans and
cracklinRs to separate. In sixteen
hours it would be free, and the force OF
the lime would be spent.
"sIf used powder or dynamite, said
he, 4 would rip out such mass as that
in fifteen minutes; but it would be
Clipped and cracked into hundred
pieces. Or, more likely, in large
blast the powder would simply tear out

Newton. .sand told him he was much of

WOMEN IN oalo1CFAaps.


Many Ars 14paoysd n Chls 49, q 1os3A
La1oe.
The statement made the other day at
the Chicago trade and labor assembly
that women and young children worked
in Chicago's hickyards appears to have
Z foundation IN fact.
A visit was made to various brick
yard and, although only one woman
was found at work, this " as simply be-
cause the yards quit work At ten O'Clock
in the morni ng. No one connected
with the in dustry denies that women
work in the yards, but say their work
is mostly what Is technically called
backing" brick.
This consists of turning the bricks
over and piling them up in rows. It
does not sound like very hard work, but
when it comes to either stacking or
turning over thirty thousand bricks .
day e will be seen that the task would
tax the back of many man.
Most Of the rough labor is done by
Poles, and it is said that this Is mostly
the race which allows its women to
work in the yards. Contrary to expec-
tation, it is neither widows nor single
women who do the work, but the wives
and mothers OF families, who labor in
the yards right beside their husbands.
Not much can be learned from the
employees themselves, but the police
who have travelled around the yards
tell bad tales. They say that it IS no
uncommon sight to see little girls

they crawl on all fours from one pile to
another. Their backs are bowed and
bent and they cry when they try to
stand up straight.
The women, for their work, are paid
six dollars week. The children get
three dollars-or, rather, their parents
get it. Owing to the hours in the yards
the school inspectors can do nothing
because most OF the children attend
afternoon school.
Work 1T tho brick yards begins at
half-past three or four o'clock in the
morning and is over when the sun geta
hot-about ten o'clock. Then the little
children can go to play or go to school
and the mothers can 60 to their house
work. They have earned dollar and
q half
Women and children have only been
employed in the yards recently. Thers
was a general strike among the brick
makers few weeks ago on account o1
the manufacturers not paying the
union scale of wages, and women and
children have been employed to take
the places Of the strikers.

SIX SORTS Of a HOG.

ductor the other day. "The warm

of stock in more prosperous days, and
I'm = good Judge. The most common
sort is that Of the fellow who oacupies

that he could make room for anybody,
and is evidently the same when he Is at
home. I'll bet he's the man who gets

carries it downtown in his pocket.
"Then, there's the fellow who crosses
his legs, and when anyone seeks to pass
simply turns his foot edgeways, 50 that
twice as much dirt is rubbed of on
woman's dress and. he gets half q shine
for nothing. If bigger man stands
still and glares at him he will unfold
his legs, but only then. This is the
same animal who likes to stretch out in
cross seats on the 'L' and clean his
boots on the edge Of the seat.
s'The third OF the species is less bold
than his brothers. He is the chap who,
when some one gets up, leaving seat
vacant, although there's a tired woman
maybe next to him, plumps into the va
cant spot, for she had her back turned,
and the opportunity was-and always
is, in fact neglected by him.
1.-THE fourth sort is the rooster who
reads another mans paper over his
shoulder. saw one the other day who
was go interested in one article that he
didn't see the man who held the paper
was furtively and amusedly regarding
him. The fact was brought to his at
tention, however, by the paper being
pushed in front Of his face and then
withdrawn, and when he looked up q
dozen smiling faces made him turn
fairly sallow.
1.-THE fifth is really only pig. He's
not grown, but thinks he is His nose
that's not the word, but it will do-is
retrousse, and the little bristles under
it are carefully cared for. He likes to
crowd close to pretty girl and stare
at her with suchsa yearning look. 1t
he sits opposite her his eyes rarely
wander from hers. saw one young
woman stare at the feet Of one of that
sort for five minutes. He pulled them
back and fidgeted them about, finally
resting on his toes. She kept right on
staring and he became very uncomfort-
able. I'm told that's sure remedy.
He finally got out on the platform.
'sThe last.of the rxilroad hogs know,
although there may be others, is the
one who opens his newspaper so as to
shut out the view OF those on either
side Of him. II he'd fold it down the

For the student Of social science
there is food for reflection in the fact
that an advertisement for "a person OF

Gently in the Sunday papers, says the
New York World, brought forth sew
eral hundred letters, largely from edu-
Gated men and women out of employ

As showing that the old proverb
about knowledge being power Is not
universally true, the following an
swers to the advertisement are especial
" significant:
"I am linguist, and can do the nec-
essary copying not only in English, but
also in German, French, italian, Latin

only hoped he would never md out,

fine new ones.
There was one gown that she did

and long cash ends of gorgeous ribbon,
and Mr.. B. particularly liked that
dress, because she had served afternoon
tea in it for him often during their en-

When Mr.. B. came home In the
evening his wife had guilty look as if
something lay on her conscience. But
she ascribed it to q headache and the
old-clothes deal remained . profound
secret.
A week or two later Mrs B. asked
her husband to do the marketing: She
usually attended to this herself, but
was going to have company and could
not spare the time.
Mr.. B. accordingly took the market
basket on his arm and went from stall
to stall purchasing supplies, when sud-

him, haggling over some vegetables.
