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-
cheering 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 a paving block the two
sides represent the rift fracture, the
top and bottom the grain and the ends
the head. But IN a 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.

The old plague stone still remains,
built into the base of a monument,
which bears an inscription as follows:
'"This monument is erected by the
Society Of Natives on the very spot Of
ground from which the markets were
removed and whose basis IS the very
stone on which exchanges were made
while the city lay under the scourge OF
the destroying pestilence in the year
sixteen hundred sixty-six. The Society
Of Natives was founded Oh the Goth of
August, 1863, for the relief Of the wild
ows and orphans of their fellow citl-
zens who died of the great plague
Beneath a spreading tree in the
grounds of Tothby House, near Afford,
Lincolnshire, is a plague stone. About
275 years ago the inhabitants Of Spills
by and the surrounding villages day
after day toiled up to the top of Miles
Cross hill, which overlools the wide
marsh country, with Afford lying just
at the foot.
At the top they left food, etc., for the
Door sufferers and took in return mon
ey deposited in vessels containing wa

WEDDING SUGGESTIONS.

A bride who finds a spider on her
wedding dress may consider herself
blessed.
The bride who dreams of fairies the
night before her marriage will be
thrice blessed.
If the bridegroom carries a miniature
horseshoe in his pocket he will always
have good luck.
No bride or bridegroom should be
given a telegram on the way to church.
It Is positively a sign Of evil.
If the wedding ring is dropped dur
ing the ceremony the bride may as we'll
wish herself unborn, for she will al
ways have i'll luck.
Kiss bride right after the ceremony
and before the newly made husband
has a chance to do so. and you will
have excellent luck throughout the
year.
Should a bride perchance see coffin
while being driven to the railway sta
ton prior to departure upon her wed
ding tour she should order the driver
to turn back and start over again, OF
else she will surely meet with bad luck

1t is not generally known that the
first patron of Michael Munkacsy,
known to the world as the painter OF
"Christ Before PLATE" was an Amer

who passed through Dusseldorf when
Munkacsy was young and struggling
artist, The American became convinc'

it to Paris and sent it to the salon
where it was promptly placed and at
tracted a great deal of attention.

The Laws DELAYS.

a lawyer on being asked why his
profession is always in court asking
for delays and adjournments respond
ed: II have observed in my long years
Of experie .ce that when lawyer has
a very good case he is anxious to try
it. If he has poor one the longer he
can delay it the better it suits him.
There is no telling what the accidents
and incidents of time may supply in
his favor. Another reason perhaps
The lawyer continued, sis the fact that
d lawyer never feels like prying him

PestIence In England.
The story Of the great plague Of
London is familiar to all readers of his
tory and has been dealt with by many
writer's of fiction. Even the bypaths of
history supply much suggestive matter,
while hidden away in churchwardens'
and other old accounts are many items
that remind us of those days. Here,
for example, are two entries from the
parish accounts of st. Mary Woomoth.

ABUSE or INDOORS.
We Rely Too Much on the Protection
of Our Houses.

OF Our Touses.
Houses were made for shelter, not
for confinement; for freedom, not re-
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-
bic recesses slept III their dry, clean
chambers, toasted ourselves over their
sheltered fires, read by their unficker-
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 hel
rugged ways, how full of solace her
assuaging calm.

New Works First State Prison.

The first state prison in New York
state was built at the foot of West
Tenth street, in New York city, in
1897. Within seven years there were
three mutinies Of prisoners, in which
keepers were killed and the prison set
on fire. Nevertheless the institution
seems to have been considered an at
traction, as appears from the follow
ing advertisement of the Greenwich
hotel, printed in the Columbian of
Sept. IS, 1911:
A few gentlemen may be accommodated
with board and lodging at this pleasant
and healthy situation, a few doors from
the state prison. The Greenwich stage
passes from this to the federal hall and
returns five times day.
The prisoners were transferred to
Sing Sing in 1923, and the property
was sold the next year.-New York

The most wonderful ceremonies con-

a busy and attractive spectacle on
New Years day. The streets are
thronged with people dressed in gala

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, II respectfully wish you joy

American fashion each grasps his own
hands, lifts them as high as his chin
and with sweeping motion throws
them down as low as possible, bend

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

a visiting ticket of red paper, on which
are written the name Of the donor and
a list of the presents sent These con

st. Augustine, Fla, founded by the

they soon grow indifferent and aban-
