American Wallets.


There is new order of things among
the gilded youth Of today, and the valet
is in demand. This demand has led to
the establishment in Boston of fin.
ishing academy for gentlemen's serv-
ants. Here the gentleman's gentleman
learns all that is necessary for him tc
know. The first thing that is done to {.
matriculate is to cut his hair in the ap-
proved English fashion and make him
clean shaven, or at least reduce his hir-
suite appendages to q modest "mutton
chop" just forward Of his ears. He is
then put in livery and made to speak
only in an h-less English dialect. The
various courses of instruction include
training in all the branches of mental
work, and when pupil is sent out into
the world he is given certificate Of
proficiency in his particular course. One
of the features Of the course is the daily
practice in immobility, which consists
in standing for half an hour day be-
tween two upright bars so regulated
that they touch the mans toes and
breast bone in front and his coattails
shoulder blades and hat rim at the back
This gives the requisite wooden rigidity
and is practiced by all pupils. Those
whose physiques are lacking OR too lux
uriant are reduced to the proper form by
vigorous exercise. Boston Letter.

Mary had a little lamb, that time
has passed away. No lamb could
follow up the pace our Mary sets
today; for now she rides the air
shod wheel, in skirts too short by
half; no 1ambkin shares her airy
flight, but you can see her calf. But
who is there that can complain or
cry in woe, "Alas!" So long as
Mary's calfs all right the lamb can
go to grass. So all the men de-
lighted gaze, their JOY is not sham,
for while the other critter is out
they have no use for lamb. b.-Long

was done by means OF screws thrusting
against the needles under the wall above.
Thus when the pits were dug they form
ed eight frSt-ClasS wells. filled with rock
water They must be emptied, however
as water was not needed. So series of
steam siphOns came into play, a jet of
steam sucking the water out in large
quantities and permitting the workmen 10

point that delay occurred in the work
which had not been anticipated. and which
resulted from the fact that the boring tool
USED IN the first surveys could not see or
talk.
Instead of striking smooth level stretches
OF bed rock the diggers encountered grave!
and bou.deTs. which might have been a
natural concrete The water, however,
seeped in through spaces left by larger
DOulGerS in the upper part of this stratum
At first 1t was thought that these could be
removed, but as fast one was taken out
and the tub was showed down a little frl--
ther another would be encountered at an
other place. Meanwhile the water came in
through the interspaces. So when the hot
toms of the pits had been we'll cleaned
as far as was possible Tagging or minia-
ture sheet piling, was driven along the sides
ana bags OF cement were thrust into these
spaces, and bOulders resting upon the ha rd
pan were thus given solid company and
the water flow was checked. Eventually
by patient work the pits were given broad
footing upon the boulder formation and the
filling in with concrete was quickly per
formed.
As soon as these eight pillars of artificial
conglomerate stone had been formed under
the wall and had been supplied with crcu-
lar granite caps and iron pier stools or an
chorS, a trench was dug around the wall
and iron beams were let in upon a cement
floor and We're tied together with bolts
and then filled in and around with con-
crete. This formed an effective foundation
for brick wall which extended to within
short distance of the old Gait wall

Stree passed away. The only chickens on
the island are game chickens. Some of
them are most carefully cared for. They
are of choice breeds. and cocks which have
proved themselves good fighters are of con-
siderable value. The chickens are small.
not more than half the size of the average

The Boys Fought Them
An American lady recently bought two
Porto Rfcan game cocks, intending to pre-
sent them to a sporting friend of hers in
the United States. They were ordinary
birds. for they cost only SO apiece She
had them put in two cages and took them
with her when she left. AS soon as she

Their fighting spirit is increased by their
owners. Each man fills his mouth with
brandy and blows 81 into the bill and over
the head Of his chicken. He blows Il under
the wings md over his tail. The brandy
stings as the spray falls; il acts as a slim
ulant. The cocks crow again. and when
they are thrown to the floor they rush at
each other and begin their battle.

Notice hos carefully they act. They

savagely at the other. Now one jumps and

though he draws blood.
In the meantime Our peaceahle crowd has
gone mad. The well-dressed Porto Ricans
about US are jumping up and down. They
are waving their hands and some OF them
are yelling out bets and comments at the
rate of 200 words to the minute. one OF
the cocks is black and the other is yellow.
Ihey are shouting so many pesos on the
black and so many pesos on the yellow.
In the meantime the cocks are stil fight

into the wagons for it's final journey to the
foot of 10Th street. Materials had to be
stored in small space to make room for
operations. Bricks had to be transported
by the smallest quantities to the wall build
ers in order to prevent more cluttering
When the last piling was done the greatest
care was exercised to protect the back
building of the Gait establishment which
developed the ample resources of the foun-
dation makers. Great drums or jonted
timbers with screw bases were set into the
side of the walls and propped solidly upon
the clay beneath and screwed up tight, in
order to keep the bricks from tumbliag.
When at last the final underpinning was
begun in the northwest corner perfect
rats nest of braces, drums and needles
was assembled, leaving the very least space
for the workmen and necessitating many
tedious rehandlings of material.
Throughout the work the inspiration was
thoroughneSs." When time might perhaps
have been saved by a little less exactness
in providing for remote contingencies, the
opportunity was turned aside and the time
was spent on additional precautions. For
an impression had gained some ground that
the average Pennsylvania avenue foundation
was treacherous, that the soil was marshy
and that no large building could be safely
built upon that splendid thoroughfare II
was desired to demonstrate the falsity OF
this belief, which has perhaps operated In
the past to persuade Congress to hold
back in the general program of locating
government buildings upon the avenue
Sidewalk Comments.
Since the work has been well under way
some remarkable evidences of this miscon-
ception have cropped out in the chance
remarks of spectators standing by the side
Of the excavation.
A few Of these observers, despite thsiz
