Facts About Building Stone.

Almost everybody knows the rule Of
the masons that stone used in build
ing should be SO placed that it will lie
as it lay in it's natural bed when quar-
ried. But Francis w. Hoyt in the En-
gineering News says that this familiar
rule is not always to be depended upon
and needs in many cases to be supple
mented with other precautions. There
are three planes of fracture known to
quarrymen. The rift is the direction
in which the stone splits most easily,
the grain that which is next easiest,
the head that which offers the greatest
resistance. In paving block the two
sides represent the rift fracture, the
top and bottom the grain and the ends
the head. But in quarry the natural
bed is sometimes considerably inclined
to the plane of the rift; hence the i'm
perfection of the ordinary rule for plac-
ing the stone in building.

"Are You a Mason?"-eennett.

"a laugh is worth a hundred groans
in any market" wrote the brilliant
Charles Lamb. That partially ex-
plains the great success of Are You
a Mason the clever comedy that will
be produced at the Gennett next Friday
night. A brighter and more cleverly
farce has never been pre-
the troubles of an elderly gentleman
and his son-in-law, who, in order to ac-
count for their frequent absences from
nome pretend to be Free Masons. The
farcial possibilities of the piece are OBJ
vious To these are added a new YER
sion of the central idea in Charley s
Aunt" and half dozen subsidiary
ideas. each replete with fun. When
this play was first produced in London
the Daily Mail said:
Rarely has a theater resigned itself
to such boisterous mirth as that which
echoed around the stalls. rippled
around the dress circle. beloved from
the pit and Numbered from the gallery
of the Shaftesbury theatre. The au-

each caught the contagion of merri-

and children, shaking and crying, con-
vulsed at the impossible absurdities of

NEW YEARS IN THE ORIENT
The Greetings and the Presents In
China and japan.

The most wonderful ceremonies con-
nected with the new year occur in Chi
ma and Japan. A Chinese city presents
a busy and attractive spectacle on
New Years day The streets are
thronged with people dressed in gala
attire. The mandarins are known by
the red. blue. white and gilt balls on
their caps. Gentlemen of rank and
wealth are carried in palanquins. When
friends meet they greet each other
with "Kung-hi, Kung-hir' which
means. Il respectfully wish you joy"
But instead of shaking hands in the
American fashion each grasps his own
hands, lifts them as high as his chin
and with a sweeping motion throws
them down as low as possible, bend
ing the body at the same time. This
is the mode of salutation among the
Chinese. At the dawn of New Years
day the visits of congratulation begin,
and New Years gifts are sent to par
ticular friends, always accompanied by
a visiting ticket of red paper, on which
are written the name of the donor and
a list of the presents sent. These con-
sist usually of silks, fine tea, sweet
meats, ornaments of personal wear,
toys and souvenirs of various kinds.
In Japan the custom is to send letters
on rice paper to those in distant places,
conveying the formal expression Of the
New Years greetings. Presents Of
cooked rice. roasted peas, oranges and
figs are offered to every one.-Leslie's

Vaudeville at the Phillips.

Apparently there will be no falling
off in the interest in vaudeville at
the Phillips next week, as Manager
Murray has secured another bill that
looks mighty good on paper. The
numbers indicate that the program
will be an exceedingly lively one as
majority of the numbers call for
stunts that should be anything but
prosy. Perhaps there will be more
interest in the work of the Valadons,
aerial cyclists, than in any other one
act. as they are said to have a gen.
uine sensation Below is the progrtm

ABUSE OF INDOORS.
We Rely Too Much on the Protection
cf Our Houses.

Houses were made for shelter, not
straint. They were intended to enlarge
our sphere of activities, not to dimin-
ish them.
They foster the family and make
progress possible, but we should not
abuse their protection. We have crawl
ed away into their still and comforta-
BILE recesses, slept in their dry, clean
sheltered fires, read by their unfiicker-
ing lights and eaten from their bounti-
full boards so long that we are grown
pale, timid, peevish and thankless
withal
We have kept ourselves away from
the wind and the sun and the flashing
rain, from the feel of the earth under
foot and the sense of the leaves and
stars overhead until we no longer know
the keen and simple joys of being
alive. We have set up barriers against
the inclemency of nature and covered
before her severe austerity until now
we have forgotten how Indispensable
is all her kindly nurture, how tonic her
rugged ways, how full of solace her
assuaging calm.
Houses were only made to live in
when it is too cold or too hot or too
wet to live out of doors Any other time
out of doors is best To sleep out of
doors for month is better than trip

What Is a Surveyor?


If you mention surveying to the
average layman the word calls up in
his mind either u confused vision Of
man with a little telescope on q
tripod looking at something another
man is holding, or two men dragging
chain along the ground. But what
is surveyor? The truth is there are
many kinds of surveying. and conse-
quently the word surveyor" can be
and is. applied to n wide range of per.
sons. For instance, the engineer with
his transit. the miner with his level.
the city surveyor with a theodolite
and the mariner with his sextant. are
all surveying. And the map maker
with his plane table and alidade. is a
surveyor. too; the most picturesque of
the lot.-V'fs ~~'' - -r-i,c.

st. Augustine, Fla, founded by the

be the oldest European settlement

conqueror and explorer, leading an ex-
petition from the City of Mexico north

Spanish colony at the ancient Indian
village of Ysleta, in Ell Paso county,

HARTMAN ATCHIS0N
STOCK HOLDINGS REDUCED

NEW YORK. Nov. 2S.-The amount
of Atchison stock held by r. H. Harri-
man and his associates in the Union
Pacific, which In the investigation be-
fore the Interstate Commerce Commits
sion last winter was stated to amount
to about $40, 900, 900. has been reduced
TO about $4,000, 900. This is exclusive
of the $40. 600. 900 of Atchison preferred,
which is owned directly by the Union
Pacific, which stock has been kept
intact.
The Atchison stock still held by the
Hartman interests. 1t is understood,
represents merely the personal invest
ments of the Union Pacific president
and his associates, the surplus line of
stock which had been acquired and
held in connection with the Union Pa
cihc's plan to gain a voice in the
Atchison management having been dis
posed of. These scales of Atchison
tool place some time ago.. and were
not therefore transferred on the basis
of the present low prices of securities.
The important feature of the changes
in the Atchison holdings. according to
the Times, is that the influence which
the Union Pacific, as in a position 10
exert In Atchison affairs, has been
greatly diminished.
