Brick-Making at Sullivan.

While the making of bricks in Sullivan
is naturally overshadowed by the larger
industry of granite qnarrying and cutting,
still this important work, though rela-
lively small, is of considerable conse-
quence.
Born and bred in Franklin, George G..
Patten moved to. Sullivan about twenty
years ago, and began in a small way the
making of bricks. AS conditions i'm
proved he increased both plant and output.
At his yard upwards Of 100000 brick
have been made, and yet to see the place
whence they were taken, one would say
that half that number would more than
fill the vacancy.
Mr.. Patterns plant has two mixers, and a
crew of about six men, who turn out
about II, 900 bricks day for the kiln. A
"burn" at this yard, contains about half a
million, though 5000 are now burning.
Fires began July 1. This burning is all
sold, and as soon as they are disposed of,
another half million will go up for fall
delivery.
Common bricks sell for about 81 per
1000, and good chimney and face bricks
bring SO.
Mr.. Patten said to the writer that the
long dry weather early in the summer and
his new water supply, by pipe and gravity,
were a godsend to his business.
The scii-clay OF the right kinds
ploughed few inches deep; after being
cut and narrowed it looks like iunks OF
egg coal-only not black. 1t Is then
scraped down to the mixers; these are big
wooden watts about four feet high and half
round. The clay is put into this and
water turned on to make ''mud" which,
in turn, is put into the grinder or mixer.
Here is a big post set plumb with big steel
erossarms in it, which is revolved by a
se-power lever.

DOING THE GRAND ENTRY.
How n Circus Horse Enjoys His Part
of the Performance.

How u Circus Horse Enjoys HIS Fart
of the Performance.
The experiences of a farm horse that
unexpectedly joins a wagon show circus
is described by Sewell Ford in Horses
Nine" Calico is the name of the horse.
At night he has hard time pulling the
band wagon over the country roads, but
he thoroughly enjoys his part in the
performance under the main tent. The
author describes Calico's feelings as
follows:
All, that grand entry! That was
something to live for. No matter how
bad the roads or how hard the hills
had been, Calico forgot it all during
those ten delightful minutes when, with
his heart beating time to the rat-tat-tat
of the snare drum, he swung prancing-
ly around the yellow arena.
1t all began in the dressing tent with
a period of confusion in which horses
were crowded together as thick as they
could stand, while the riders dressed
and mounted in frantic haste, for to be
late meant to be fined. At last the ring
master clapped his hands as sign that
all was in readiness. There was a mo-
mentary husA Then a bugIe sounded,
the flaps were. thrown back, and to the
crashing accompaniment of the band
the seemingly chaotic mass unfolded
into double line as the horses broke
into sharp gallop around the freshly
dug ring.
The first time Calico did the grand
entry he felt as though he had been
sucked into a whirlpool and was being
carried around by some irresistible
force. So dazed was he by the music,
by the hum of human voices and by
the unfamiliar sights that he forgot
to rear and kick. He could only prance
and snort. He went forward because
the rider of the outside horse dragged
him along by the bride rein. Around
and around he circled until he lost all
sense of direction, and when he was
finally shunted out through the dress
ing tent flaps he was so dizzy he could
scarcely stand.

the moulding machine. A man stands at
this with wooden tray sectioned off to
hold six bricks; this tray is dipped in
water and then placed under the moulder
press where the soft dough is pressed into
the tray; then wet straight edge is used
to smooth the top sides OF the bricks
which are then put on to barrows and car
ried and dumped in layers on the drying
yard.
After drying in the sun few hours,
they are turned on edge, and in about four
hours are dry and firm enough to pile in
high tiers with plenty of air space for
ventilation. Here they are left to season.
At the right time they are scientifically
piled in the kiln, and fires built to bake
them; those nearest the fire are hard and
red, while the farther from the fire the
nicer and better looking they are. 1t
takes hundreds of cords of kiln wood to
burn them.
After burning they are ready for the
market.

The Sea View house, a summer board
ing house at Old Orchard, was burned to
the ground early Thursday morning.

respectively, persisted in the flames. The
remainder of the guests had narrow
escapes, and several we're injured in get
ting out OF the burning building. j. III.
Terrill, of Manchester, N. H., lost his
trunk which contained $1,000 in bank
notes., The loss on the house and fur
nishinks Is estimated at $4,000; insured
for $500. Several guests lost their
watches and jeweIry, but what their
value was is uncertain.
Chairman Carleton, of the game COM
mission, received shock on Saturday
morning when he opened his mail. 1t did
not affect him so that he could not
make the proper reply to the communica-
tion. 1t was letter from a sportsman;
who resides in another state,
who wrote saying that in recent inspec-
tion Of the fish and game laws OF Maine
he had found that 1t was unlawful to
hunt on Sunday. He had always been
opposed to Sunday hunting, so he said,
but had never known that it was unlaw-
full to do SO, in Maine, before. H had
been greatly surprised upon reading that
particular section OF the game laws, the
more so, because while In Maine last fall
he had killed on Sunday afternoon
one deer. The confession of guilt was so
strange an occurrence that there is no
reason for wonder that the commissioners
was surprised and shocked. OF course,
he lost no time In addressing letter to
the man telling him that 1t was and has
always been illegal to shoot game In
Maine on Sunday and informed him OF
the penalty for SO doing.
