ENDING UP FLOOR BOARDS.
One Mans Way Of Handling Them,
Apparently with Some Saw
ing of Strength.

1t is common thing TO see men pass
ing floor boards right up the front of
a building. The man on the ground
raises board SO that its upper eud
can be grasped by u man standing al
the window of the second story. who
now swings the lower end of it around
THROUGH t>-s air and up within the
grasp oil IA man standing at window
in the story above. The third man IN
turn swings il up to IL man at win.
dow in the story above him. and so
the board goes in this way from the
ground to whatever story it is to be
taken in at. says the New York Sun.
1t takes muscle to lift the boards by
one end in this way and swing then.
up and to keep at 1t. The other day a
little variation in the method EN-.
ployed was observed in this city by
which the man on the ground manage,
to save himself a little. Instead OF
lifting the dead weight of each boart.
he brought leverage to bear with hi.
shoulder for fulcrum. The load of
boards had been slid off from the
truck in the street. not alongside he
curb. but at right angles 10 it in the
street. The ends Of the boards were
toward the building and in front of
it. The man on the ground would pick
up board by the end and walk toward
the building. holding it. and then in
stead of facing the pile and fitting he
board by sheer strength he would face
the building. and. lifting the board on
his shoulder, would Gepress the for
ward end of the board and so swing
the other end up. 1t looked like al.
easier way of doing it than the dead
lift. 1t was possible only on the
ground. in front of the building. where
there was room to move. and possible
to advantage only with the load thus
conveniently placed.

AGRAvATING OBsTINACY.
The Soldiers Insist on Telling the
Truth abont the Subsidized
Boof.

The conduct of the officers and col
diers OF our Cubln war army in re
gard to the question of bad beef must
he extremely annoying to Mckinley,
Alger and Eagan. At every opLor-
tunity they have persisted in saying
that the beef which they got in the
field was so vile that burial was the
only disposition possible to be made
OF it. When the court Of inquiry
was sitting in Washington some very
nice canned beef was opened and SER
ed up in various forms for the sol
diers To taste. They taste,l it and
when asked to say which variety was
like what they had in the field they
all said none of it was like what they
had. They went on the witness
stand and ewore that what they had
in the field was simply loathsome.
Then the court went to Chicago and
made an inspection OF the canning
processes there finding them agree
able i'll every way, and the beef itself
was most delightful eating. The n
they called some more soldiers and
these Goldiera said the same things
about the beef that they had been
supplied with by Eagan and Alger
that all the other soldiers had said.
The Omaha canning process nigh
be perfect but the kind of beef they
turned ont was not the kind that
reached the soldiers in the field. Did
anybody ever see such irritating per-
versity! Tho President should rebuke
them i'll special proclamation.-N.Y.
