MOVING A BRICK CHIMNEY.
Carried Nearly "a Thousand Feet Over
Uneven Ground.

Uneven Ground.
The moving of an ordinary brick
building hes always been consid-
cred feat Of more than passing inter-
est, but the transportation Of brick
chimney without accident or damage,
over a considerable stretch Of uneven
ground, was recently accomplished at
Manhanset, Shelter Island, Suffolk coun-
ty, N. Y.
The chimney, says the Scientific
American, is IS feet high and seven feet
square at the base, with outer and in
her walls eight inches thick and weighs
nearly 100 tons. 1t was moved about
$50 feet over very rough ground and
quite grade, both up and down. The
cradle rested on two sllids creased on
the under side and sliding on creased
blocks. The purchase used was grain
capstan, and one horse at $50 fold and
the time occupied in loading and NOV
ing was only nine days, with the labor
of only four men. The chimney was
placed on it's new foundation without a
particle of harm. This is the second
chimney of the above description moved
by the same contractors. The first one
was SO feet high, at Bridgehampton,
and in both cases the work was COM
pleted without accident.

AUTHORIZATIONS, OF A PLANT.

A,cnrious incident of the power OF

in the shape of a pontedrla crasslpes''
Lost fall. saws a writer in Meehans
Monthly. I obtained slip of pootedrla,
which | placed in bowl in my sitting
room window. BY spring 1t was
thrifty plant, with beautiful waXen
leaves. When it was time to set my
nlant out of doors l lcolxed about Tor
something in which to place my lily.
For want of something better l put 1t
in an old dinner boiler Of generous pro-
portions. BY midsummer it had out
crown the boiler. Again looked about,
and this time | found crock, quite
deep. but not very wide. divided my
plant. putting half in the crock and the
other half in the boiler. This latter L
kept thinned out by giving slips to
friends: the other plant was left to
GROW at it's own sweet will, and, being
a thrifty plant, very much bent on
growing, and finding it could not spread
according to its natural mode, 1T
changed it's tactics and took to grow
ing upward. The air bulbs developed
into long stems, and at the end of each
grew very large leaf twice the size
of an ordinary leaf. And here I would
like to say that, as house plant, there
is nothing more attractive than n
healthy pontedria, with its CLASSY, wax
en- leaves. and, moreover, it requires so
little attention, merely keeping it re-
plenished with water.

And the road to riches well begun,

a ftful Fame
And Fortune, slaves at beck and cSI---
A dream-that's all.
A twilight dream,
Shadows and silence and fading light,
And dying day and falling night,
A hush, and an ending, and failing sight,
creeping chill,
Then all is STILL
And the dark comes down like a solemn

a dream-that's all.

A midnight dream
Dust and ashes, a shattered vase,
A crumbling flower pale, sad face,
A wild, weird silence DER the place,
A Stified breath,
Then darkness, death,
And long, black wait for the judgment
