THE "HoUsEsA1ITH.v
New Trade Which Has Succeeded
That of the Carpenter and Build
err.

A brief labor trouble which occurred a
short time since brought into public
notice the name of a new labor organ
ization, and reminded us that by the
development of iron and steel a new
trade has been born within the last
few years, says a writer in the Ameri-
can Manufacturer and Iron World.
This is the trade now known as
"housesmith." very few years ago
when a labor difficulty occurred in
building operations, it was the Broth
erhood of Carpenters and Joiners"
that had to be dealt with. Now it is
the "Housesmiths and Bridgemen's
union The former was composed of
wood-workers exclusively, the latter
toll mainly with hammer and set.
Where the former used the plane the
latter use the cold chisel, and where
the carpenter deftly drove finishing
nails the housesmith now swings the
sledge on hot rivets
The housesmith has knocked a large
section of sentiment out of the build
ing trade. In watching operations on
one of our mammoth buildings at the
present day the idler does not smell
the fragrant shavings nor see the
clean, white lumber being put UP. He
sees great Orders, generally painted
dirty red, swung into place by power
full HOSTS. and instead of the cheering
cry of "mort!" he hears the bowls Of
the housesmith when he strikes a
blind hole. We are told that in
building Solomon's temple the sound
of hammer was not heard. hence we
are certain that there were no "house-
smiths" there working on the Chicago
plan.
The housesmith has undoubtedly
come to stay, but, socially speaking.
he cannot be considered an improve
ment on the carpenter. The carpenter
in years gone by was generally a set
tied workman who had served a long
apprenticeship at his trade, and before
machinery came to do so much of his
work he had to be a good mechanic.
The housesmith has picked up his
trade on the jump; so much is not re-
quired of him in the, way of mechan-
ical ability, and he is too prone to
change jobs on small provocation. In
fact, the exigencies of his trade lead
him from place to place, and he knows
how to travel light. But in one respect
ne beats the carpenter. He can rig a
derrick like an old sailor, and in run
ming along three-inch beam 100 feet
above the ground he will take chances
that would appal the best trapeze per-
former ever seen in the circus.

lection to the word. 1t is of simple
construction, and in strict accord with
a principle Of formation inherited from
our AngIo-Saxon ancestors, a principle,
too, which has never been quite aban-
doned, though the incorporation OF
Latin with the ruder tongue made re-
sort to our expedients almost invari-
able. 'Daresay," therefore, is legiti-
mate enough, and its meaning is OBJ
vious-both very good claims to the
honor of a place in the dictionary but
of the weightiest of all Qualifications,
necessity, this ungraceful stranger is
altogether destitute. While just as
much needed as Cannot" a word that
has established itself. though rather
precariously. in the English language,
"daresay" serves no appreciate pur-
pose, and threatens to make a lot of
trouble. Once admitted to good soci-
ETY., it would be followed by ought
say" and score of others, still more
uncouth, that might easily be invented.
Since Norman days the spirit and ten
dency of our speech have been analyt-
ical not Synthetical 1t is just little
stupid in our dear relatives across the
water to put another exception" in
the already difficult pathway, which
the student, native or foreign born,
must traverse before he can write mod
erately correct English.

CHICAGO. Feb. 22-Trans- Missouri
and Colorado roads are now holding
almost daily conferences on the sub
ject of the Southern Pacific's invasion
of their territory and taking business
from it through the medium of cut
rates.
Some Of the roads urge radical action
and an immediate reduction of Califor-
MIA rates. The more conservative,
however, deprecate this and will only
resort to it in case Of urgent necessity.
Should the Southern Pacific persist in
the course upon which it has entered.
the cut will be made. however. and
that road will be held responsible for
the consequences.

HOW POTATOES MAY BE SPOILED.

In a bulletin issued by Professor
Snyder of the Minnesota state agricul-
tural college he makes point of in
terest to the housewife. He shows that
where potatoes are peeled and started
boiling in cold water there is a loss of
so per cent of the total albumen, and
where they are not peeled and are
started in hot water this loss is re-
duced to 2 per cent. A bushel of po-
tatoes weighing sixty pounds, contain
about two pounds of total heterogeneous
compounds. When improperly cooked
one-half of a pound is lost. containing
six-tenths of a pound of the most val
liable proteids. 1t requires all of the
protein from nearly two pounds of
round beefsteak to replace the loss
of protein from improperly boiling a
bushel of potatoes.

A Change TO BE Made I'm the Present

WASHINGTON, Feb. 22.-Under the
new postal appropriation bill the Sc
cret inspection of letter carriers by
special agents will be stopped The
bill provides, instead, that there shall
be thirty additional postoffice inspect
ors, who shall be assigned to the free
delivery service exclusively. While
these men viii be nominally under the
authority of the fourth assistant post
master general they will be subject
to the orders of the first assistant
and the superintendent of the free de-
livery service. They will devote their
time exclusively to the inspection Of
the free delivery service and will pur-
sue the same methods pursued by the
special agents.
The Arst assistant postmaster gen
eraI who originated the inspection by
special agents, is satisfied with the new
provision, and says it will accomplish
