Examining the Ruins.

San Francisco, April 23.-Property owners had an opportunity yesterday to inspect some of their holdings and in measure ascertain what damage had been done. The new modern steel buildings were found to be al- most intact In every instance It seemed that the earthquake had not damaged them.
 The steel frames were in perfect plumb and as strong as ever. Cor nices and fancy trimmings fell, but that was all. Even when the. fire swept through them only the wood work was damaged. The Fairmont hotel on Mob Hill will be rushed to completion. The Claus Spreckels building will be occupied in few days; the Union Trust building has only lost the interior work. The St Francis hotel is in the same cate gory and the work of renovating the interior will soon be commenced.
 An inspection of the Call build ing at Third and Market streets dis closed the fact that several of the floors of the building were in good condition and could, after slight re- pairs, be used as formerly.
 The new Monadnock building on Market street, next to the Palace ho- tel, was found to be in first class con dition, and the owner, Herbert E. Law, announced that within ten days he would be renting offices in this building. The Monadnock build ing is large structure of steel and brick. almost completed when the fire came.

BRUTAL SHEEP-SHEARING.
Removal of Pieces of Skin While
 Struggling Is of Common Occurrence.

Tn the farther west, where by far the greater number of sheep are raised, the shearing is often done by rowing hands of shearers whose only thought is to dispose of as many head as possible in day, says Country Life in America To remove a piece of skin as large as the palm of the hand is trifling matter to them. Some times it Is the case with a struggling sheep that this mishap occurs several times. It is rare indeed for a sheep to pass through this ordeal without a skin puncture in enc or more places. Reference is made to hand shears. but the excellent invention of power shearing machines has not removed all the danger of injury to the sheep. With these clippers in the hands of a careless or indifferent man it is an easy matter to stick the points of the guards into the sheep or to cut slits in its skin. It must not be made to appear. however. that the shearers of the west are more cruel than those of the great sheep raising countries of Argentina, New Zealand or Australia, but the practice is none the less repre- hensible, and worthy the protest of all humane citizens. h the sheep shear ing contest at the worlds fair at st. Louis last October some of the con- tsstanis were SO bloody in their work that the sheep and goats when reiased presented a sieksning sight. Because of this fact. the judges of the contest, so far as the machines. uere concerned. went beyond their pre- scribed duties to rebuke the inbuzaae

Changes in English.

NThe English Is living language, and is bound to change both in spelling and grammar. There was time when the split infnitlve was more widely ac- cepted than 1t is to-day and the double quadrupIe negative was in good repute. There was also a time when spelling was SO different from present usage as to De nearly un.ntelli.sibIe now which caused Artemus Wards witty remark that Chaucer may have been a great poet. but he could not spell. As long as a language is alive change is its order. as 1t is with any living thing-change Is life. - Indianapolis News.
