value, the price depending on the puri-

How Fortress Monroe Was Built.

The manner of constructing the fort
at Old Point Comfort is interesting
and throws some light on customs and
practices then In vogue. The work was
almost wholly done by slaves who were
brought to the place by their masters
and leased to the engineers In charge.
The slave owner received 80 cents a
day for each slave. and the government
furnished each "laborer," as the slave
was called. with two suits OF working
clothes. pair or two of shoes. ratlons,
quarters and occasionally little tobac-
co. The "laborers' worked with very
little clothes and generally without
shoes. They lived In barracks and were
subject to kind of military discipline,
The owners were regular in coming In
to collect the hire for their slaves. from
which we may infer that the 'constitu-
ents" of those days knew how to appre-
ciate a good thing to a degree worthy
of the present generation.-Lesli
