the separate groups were made horizon
tai, but at regular heights, offset to cor
respond with the surface Of the ground
There were in all eight lines of crib
bing perpendicular to the face of the
cliff, one under each main sill Two
lines of cribs supported each end wall
of the main part of the house Two more
lines were spaced at equal distances be-
tween them and two carried the end and
center of the wing About 300 five-ton
jacks were set under the sills bearing
on the second course from the top of the
cribbing. These were divided into 80
groups of from eight to 12 each, from
three to five groups being located under
each sill. At a signal given by blowing
whistle, one man started at the end
of each group and gave each jack in sue
cession one-half turn. After all the
groups had been turned, another signal
was given and the men returned to the
starting points, screwing each jack
another half turn, and so on back and
forth, simultaneously screwing the
jacks so as to raise the building uni
formly about one-half inch at each
round trip.
The building was thus raised about IA
inches il less than two hours. A new
course of cribbing timber was then laid
in the space between the last course and
the slls, and the jacks were simultane-
ously Stacked off sufficiently to lower
the sills to bearing on it. The jacks were
then screwed down, set one course high
er, the building raised another IA
inches, and so on. AS the building was
raised the lines of cribbing were ex-
tended so as always to reach beyond it
to the gradually receding face of the
cliff where new cribs were started on
successive footings leveled to receive
them. In every eighth or tenth course
longitudinal timbers 20 or 80 feet long
were used to bind the cribs of each line
together, and the next course above
them usually contained several long
transverse timbers reaching through,
and built into the next line of cribs to
bind the two together and insure their
lateral stability.

THE VILLAGE STREET.

People say the street was run
Long before a house was done.
With a tinllle, tankle, tinkle,
Ere the vesper stars did twinkle.
Or the night dews gan to sprinkle
Thirsty grasses sweet,
Upward from the velvet meadows,
uomeward through the growing shadows,
Came the cattles feet.
And the path where they would wander,
Winding here and wheeling yonder-
That is now the street.
That was years ago, they say,
But it runs the same to-day
BY the changing smithy sweeping,
Past the gray church pillars creeping,
Widening Ike a white pool sleeping
Round the hitching poles
Where the sunburned farmers dicker
And old Bess and Dapple whicker
TO their truant foals-
Thence ii passes downward Swerving
Toward the whsprin willows curving
Where the river rolls.
Changes come but slowly here
one may see. this very year,
As of old, a grandame riding,
80 the stile her sorrel guiding
In her level basket hiding
Homely golden store,
And her newly-starched sunbonnet
Has a small blue figure on it,
AS had those of yore;
Quaint is she, but wholly human,
Like a sweet, old-fashioned woman,
Back in iifty-four.
More than careless eye may meet
Visits in this quiet street
Here are dreams in open daytime,
Visions out of vanished playtime,
Youth and JOY and budding Maytime,
We had fancied done:
Tonder shouting barefoot lusty,
Padding down the roadway dusty,
Little thinks of one
Far away, who drops his trouble,
And, in dreams, the barefoot's double,
Shares his foolish fun.
Aye, a-many ghosts go down
This dim street of Haunted Town
Hearts that far a-lield were roaming
Hither turn them in the cleaning,
Like the white-winged pigeons homing,
Now no more to stray;
And if longing could unravel
knitted life, and pilgrims travel
Paths of yesterday,
We, too, Ger the faded meadows
Homeward through the lonely shadows,
Glad would wend our way.
William Hervey Woods, in Youth.
