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


Last year 473 houses were moved Il
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 business OF
this particular kind of real estate trans
fers. That house-moving Is still an
important feature of the city's indus
tries is attested by the fact that there
are fifty firms in the city deyotlng spe-
cial attention to taking dwellings from
their foundations and carrying them
bodily to some other point. The opera
ton has been reduced to such science
that during the journey of the house
not a 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-movlng 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, 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 n 5000 bond
with the city housemoving department.
This bond is safeguard demanded by
the city to protect the municipality In
case an accident should occur during
the moving and a damage suit should
follow TO which the city of Chicago
might be made n party to the defense.
The housemoylng department has sole
power to lay out the route along which
the house must be taken. Whenever II
is possible the movers are compelled to
effect the transfer by way of streets
that are little used. A fee OF s. 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

Too Honest for Society.

A demure little maid who has had
much experience In society made the
customary New Years resolutions at
the beginning OF the new century, but,
unlike some OF her sisters, announced
the intention of using a good deal OF
fiattery In her intercourse with her as
sociates In the future.
You may talk about honesty and
sincerity all you WISH" she said TO n
friend, but neither OF these qualities
makes one popular The popular girl
is she who always has something nice
to say, whether she means II or not,
Perhaps I've been little too blunt In
my frankness, but at ali events the
cooling dove couldn't be gentler than |
will appear In 1901.
Honesty Is the best policy-in busl-
ness. In society Pm not sure It isn't
the worst. As preliminary and by
way of practice let me tell you that
you're looking remarkably well to-
night. Your frock is dream and your
eyes are like stars. You're delight to
my eyes and the joy OF my heart.
"0f course, won't apply my complI-
ments quite SO thlckly as that in the
majority of cases, but I'm going to put
In artistic touches whenever I think
the subject will stand for It." And then
she dashed away, intent on her new
role and quite unconscious that her last
words contained any reflection upon
the sagaclty Of her listener.

Once upon time there was a Rill,
which prattled loquaciously as 1t fell
over the stones.
A Poet came and heard 1t and wrote
sundry rhapsodies; the next day 1t
rained and in one way and another the
Rill became much swelled as to its
head, and prattled the more.
Presently a Man of Affairs CHANGED
that way and when he heard the Rll
prattling he straightway built a dam,
which gathered the Rill into a great,
silent millpond.
Now the Rill says nothing and saws
wood.

object to the proceedings then the
whole affair might as well be declared
off, for an insurmountable barrier has
been encountered. Or II 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
lty.
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
is then pulled from the windlass to
which one end Is fastened. The other
end Is fastened TO the house. A horse
Is attached to a shaft connected with
the windlass, and as the animal walks
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 wlndlass then the
latter is set forward again and the
pulling process Is repeated. This opera
tion is performed over and over agar
until the house has been drawn to the
new location which II is to occupy.

Chicago ever since the fire. "You see

height. Those who know Johnson IA
military 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 1t on govern
ment paper, nicely framed and hung in
his little back parlor, and he points out
among its memorable citations names
which bring up sad, brave memories Of
the greatest fighters the world has ever
known.
Mr.. johnson went out at the first
ringing call for volunteers which Lin
coin made In April, 81. The Twenty
third Pennsylvania was his regiment
and the stirring days when the press
rooms of the Palmetto on Chestnut
street, near Fourth, were wrecked by
a mob,s 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 20 years old and
his daring and good spirits soon won a
title and reputation for him among the
fighting 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,
| felt that | could fight better than !
could do anything else"
Mr.. Johnson's family record is just
as strong as his war honors His de
clining years find him surrounded by
genial, happy family of eleven, all
that now survive of detachment OF
twenty-three little Johnsons. 1t was
common gossip In the nelghborhood
once that when the Johnsons, the Ryans
and the Biffins (the last two aggrega
ting thirty-eight children) went for O
trolley ride no other family could posi-
bly, crowd ON the car
Mr.. Johnson Is just as wiry, keen anC
strenuous In appearance as a man OF
40. He looks like a soldier, for his eye
is bright, his chin firm and his form up
right and active.

In the material to the writer recently.
steel wool Is an article of regular
manufacture and II Is put up In one
pound packages very much resembling
rolls of cotton batting. 1t Is composed
of sharp-edged threads OF steel, when
curl UP like wool or the familiar wood
fiber known as excelsior, but II 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 Its
great pllability, which enables work
err 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
expedltiously 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
taking off old paint or yarnish and for
smoothing and cleaning floors like those
of bowling alleys. The wood Is gener-
ally used with gloves to keep the sharp
ends from sticking into the workman's
fingers. "-Washington Star.
