HOUSE MOVING IN CHICAGO.
Work Still Done by Old Fashioned
Methods.

Last year 473 houses were moved in
Chicago, says the Chronicle. Thus
there was an average of more than one
house moved every day during the en-
tire twelve months. Frame houses,
brick houses and even stone structures
are moved from one place to another by
those experts who make a business of
this particular kind of real estate trans
fers. That house-moying Is still an
important feature of the city'S indus
tries is attested by the fact that there
are fifty firms in the city devoting spe-
c!al attention to taking dwellings from
their foundations and carrying them
bodily to some other point The opera
ton has been reduced to such a science
that during the journey of the house
not timber or brick in the structure
is disturbed The trip is regarded as
SO safe and so certain to be free from
accident that often families do not
move out of the dwellings at all, but
remain in them perfectly secure while
the houses change locations.
House-moving seems a very simple
process, but there are in reality more
complications connected with the proc
ess than a man who has never moved a
house could conjure up in the widest
flight of his Imagination. In the first
place, a house cannot be moved except
by movers who hold a city license
granting them the privilege to engage
In such work. Before a man is given
such license he must file a $4,000 bond
with the city housemoving department.
This bond is a safeguard demanded by
the city to protect the municipality in
case an accident should occur during
the moving and damage suit should
follow to which the city of Chicago
might be made party to the defense.
The housemoving department has sole
power to lay out the route along which
the house must be taken. Whenever 1t
is possible the movers are compelled to
effect the transfer by way of streets
that are little used. A fee of So for the
privilege of moving the house must be
paid to the city.
This does not end the movers trou-
bles or those of the owner of the house
by any means. All of the rules and
regulations of the moving department
OF the city must be complied with and
an inspector is always around to see
that these are observed. The house
owner does not have to reckon with the
neighbors from whose midst he is go.

HOUSE MOVING CREW AT WORK.

Ing to extract his house, but he is COM
PEELED by city ordinances to figure pref
ty carefully with the neighbors among
whom he proposes to plant his building.
If a majority of the residents in the
block and on the same side of the street
where the man wants to put his house
object to the proceedings then the
whole affair might as well be declared
off, for an insurmountable barrier has
been encountered. Or if the property
owners for $50 feet In either direction
on the opposite side of the street object
the efforts of the mover might as well
be discontinued. The law requires that
the majority of the property owners in
the block on the side of the street to
which the house is to be moved and the
majority of those within $50 feet in
either direction on the opposite side
must first give their consent to the
placing of the house in the new local
ity.
After all OF these matters have been
looked after and settled satisfactorily
then the actual active preparations for
the moving of the house are begun.
Houses are still moved by that same
old simple process that has been In use
for decades. The house is raised from
Its foundations on jackscrews, or
Jacks" as they are called, and after
ward placed upon broad, heavy rollers
OF solid wood. A great windlass Is
placed fifteen or twenty rods down the
street and is anchored by heavy pins
driven into the ground. A big. thick
rope, strong enough to pull many tons,
ID then pulled from the windlass to
which one end Is fastened. The other
end Is fastened to the house. A horse

The Young Peoples Weekly prints a

child, living in city alley. Some one
had given her ticket TO free tea and

She was wild with delight, and was
running to tell her mother of her good
fortune when she stumbled over child
crouched on the stairs, crying.
She asked what was the matter. The
child said her mother had beaten her
because she asked for some breakfast.
and she was SO hungry she could not
help crying.
Well" said the other child, placing
the ticket in her hand, take this, and
get good tea I've had no breakfast,
either, but my mother never beats me-"
And she passed on, leaving the ticket
In the hand OF the astonished child.

AWcHty- Anree Nnfldren.
John G. johnson, a veteran soldier or
Philadelphia, has the distinction OF
having fought in sixty-five battles dur
ing the Civil War and of being the
father of twenty-three children. He is
matchmaker by trade and ,still fol-
lows that vocation. His personality
coupled with his record as citizen ana
soldier, have given him a notorietv
which is in inverse ratio to his size
for Mr.. Johnson just gets inside the
minimum army regulations as to
height Those who know Johnson fa-
miliarly call him Johnnie, but through
out the neighborhood he is known as
Fighting Fit" Johnson.
Mr.. Johnson's war record is unusual
and enviable. He has it on govern
ment paper, nicely framed and hung in
his Little back parlor, and he points out
among lbs memorable citations names
which bring up sad, brave memories of
the greatest fighters the world has ever
known.

and the stirring days when the press
rooms Of the Palmetto on Chestnut
street, near Fourth, were wrecked by
a mob, which tossed the printing
presses and editors into the streets be-
low, witnessed the departure of that
now famous corps for the front.
Johnson was then 26 years old and
his daring and good spirits soon won
title and reputation for him among the
hghting men of his regiment. Three
times during the long struggle he re-
ceived an honorable discharge, and
each time returned to re-enlist. For, as
the veteran said recently: you see,
l felt that l could fight better than
could do anything else"
Mr.. Johnson , family record is just
as strong as h's war honors. His de-
Ginning years End him surrounded by
a genial, happy family of eleven, all

'Give me a cigar and I'll stop bid

with a confident, jocular air to his
friend.
'No I'll be hanged If l WILL" replied
Rosenfeld. This is the last cigar that
l have" And calmly he took the COW
eted article from his pocket, lit it and
began his smoke.
"Fifty-three thousand one hundred!'

tween puffs.
"Three hundred"
"Four hundred"
The bidding had taken new life and
the auctioneer was so astonished that
he could hardly speak.
Eight hundred" was Rosenfeld's
bid, and Hume raised 1T fifty. Then
there was some hesitation, but Rosen-
field finally offered the 5000 and got the
vessel.
''That was a good price you paid for

ingly.

round and round the center pin the rope
is wound about the latter and the house
is pulled forward. When the house has
been pulled up to the windlass then the
latter is set forward again and the

So long as bread remains the staff of
life" there can be no more important
subject for exact inquiry than scientific
methods of bread making. Therefore
the invention of Chicago scientist by
means of which the uutr.tive value OF
various brands of flour may be easily
and exactly determined deserves more
attention than it is likely to get. The
same student has devised simple me-
chanical appliances by the use of which
it is possible to ascertain scen tifically
how many loaves of broad a given
quantity of -four will make and what
Will be the size of the ;ll eilge loaf, as
well as how dense or porous it will be
when taken from the oven. All these
questions are important both to the
wholesale baker and to every family
which uses bread on it's table. There
Is small probability, however, that
these or any similar scientific methods
VIII be generally adopted, at least in
private kitchens. The ordinary cook is
well satisfied if by applying some rule
of thumb she Is able to turn out prod
ucts which are palatable. The day
seems far distant when TIE private
kitchen will be supplied with thermom-
eters, WERNER" calipers, and other APP
planes which are said to be necessary
to put the culinary art on a scientific
and exact basis. The cook book, which
should be text book In the most vital

Steel Wool in the Arts.


Although steel wool has only been
used as substitute for sandpaper dur
ing the last six years, it is now very
extensively utilized for polishing pur-
poses by metal workers, carpenters,
cabinet-makers, house painters, sign
painters and grainers throughout the
United States" said a Wholesale dealer
in the material TO the writer recently.
steel wool is an article of regular
manufacture and 1t is put up in one
pound packages very much resembling
rolls of cotton batting. 1t is composed
of sharp-edged threads of steel, which
curl up like wool or the familiar wood
fiber known as excelsior, but it Is much
finer in texture than the latter material,
the finest quality being not much
coarser than the coarsest of natural
woods.
1.-The superiority of steel wool over
the ordinary sandpaper consists in it's
great pliability, which enables a work
er to polish or smooth down irregular
parts Of holdings or ornamental wood
work. Such work can be done with
steel wool far better and much more
expeditiously than with sandpaper The
latter clogs in use, but steel wool al
ways retains a more perfect polishing
edge or surface. The wool Is made In
various degrees of coarseness, the
coarser grade being best adapted for
