Feat in Rrloklavinn-

In the erection of the House of
Representatives Office building adj
jacent to the United States Capitol
at Washington. an interesting fact
has developed in connection with the
brick masonry work. The first bricl,
was laid at the site on the afternoon
of July 8, 1905, and on July 3. 1906,
there had been laid i'm the walls H.
100000 brick. This Is believed to be
the greatest number OF brick laid on
any one building in one year in the
United States, and probably in the
world. One of the causes conducting
TO this record-brealling feat was the
remarkably open" winter of 1905 '06.
In those winter months the work
continued almost without interruption
from either snow or cold, and not
more than II or Is days were lost
during the entire winter by reason of
weather conditions Amer

The lmmntable Chinese.

The Western nations are just walk
ing up to the fact that YOU can't
change a Chinaman. Under pressure
he will make promises. but he re-
serves to himself the privilege of not
keeping them when thus made. After
the Boxer uprising the Powers forced
from China a treaty. in which a
promise was made OF reform I'm the
foreign Office or tsung-H-yamen. It
now appears that the Chinese had no
idea of treating the foreign repre-
sentatives any better than they had
before. The extent of their reform of
the foreign Office has been to change
fits names from tsung-li-yameu to wal
wu-pu and to reshape the table at
which the ministers of the Office sit
which was formerly round and is now
tangular-BostOn Globe.

NEW YEARS CALLS
A New Drink to Replace the Old
Time "AppLe-Jack."

twenty-five years ago the custom
OF making New Years calls was a de-
llghtful one for all concerned. until
some OF the boys got more "egg-nog"
or "apple-jack" than they could sue

the fact that tho old custom OF New

is nearly obsolete.
Tho custom Of calling on ones

A bulletin of the Department of
Agriculture on the subject OF wood
paving states that, in spite of its
comparatively high price, its eX-
cellence causes many engineers to
regard it as the best general-purpose
one now in use. The cities using the
largest amount OF wood pavement are
indianapolis, Toledo and Boston.
These five cities together have more
creosoted wood pavement than all
other cities in the country combined.
The total amount of this pavement in
use at the end OF the year 1905 was
about 10000 square yards The
wood now principally in use is
Georgia pine.

Farm Wages in Russia.

According to the official investiga-
lion, embracing the decade of 1SS2-91
the average annual wages for a male
agricultural worker in Russia was
less than $50 and for a female worker
less than SIS. To this must be added
the cost OF subsistence, which is
equally low, being on an average OF
$24 for a male and S22 for a female
worker for a whole year, so that the
average cost of employing a laborel
for the entire year is equal to ONLY
$50 for the male and $40 for the fe
male. The wages for the summer
