w Moasnring Brick Work. To ascertain the number of bricks In a wall, obtain the number of super¬ ficial feet and multiply this by 7, for a four-inch wall; by 14 for a nino-ineh •wall; by 21 for a thirteen-inch wall, and by 28 for o seventeen-inch wall. If the wall is thicker than seventeen inches, add seven bricks to every ad¬ ditional four inches. Fifteen hundred bricks laid in tho inside and outside walls is considered a good day’s work for a bricklayer and his helper, and to lay this number of brick will require about three-fourths of a barrel of lime and eight or nine bushels of sand to make the mortar.

Visitors to Bermuda often bring back to this country as a souvenir of their trip the leaves of an interesting plant of the house-leek family. It is known as the lifo-plaut, ami when the leaves begin to shrivel and fade they send out little shoots which in turn bear leaves that continue to grow and remain fresh and green for months. The leaves are about four inches long, rich greeu in color, aud of a smooth waxen texture. If you take one of the leaves and pin it to the wall indoors it will begin to sprout within three or four days, he it winter or summer. At first the top portion of the leaf will be¬ gin to wither and shrivel up, ami this is likely to continue until the upper half has lost its green color. Then tiny white roots will sprout from the edges and, iu time, diminutive lit¬ tle offshoots will sometimes grow to be *n inch long, aud contain several pairs of leaves. Tho limit of their exist¬ of ence heat Be>ems to depend upon the amount and light they can obtain.

Edhem Pasha, the Turkish comtnan- der-in-chief in Thessaly, haw sent the following dispatch to the minister of war “The at Constantinople: imperial army while marching to Pharsalos met the enemy in thovil- lages of Soubathi, Souledji, Turcoman- li and Lamia, After a severe engage¬ ment, lasting fifteen hours, we dis- lodged them from their positions and advanced to Pharsalos, which the im¬ perial army has just victoriously oc- Clipied.” London " cable caoie Eli (lispatcn snitch kiivs- says, .. ivVliiUlit . ly it Kunetri PaHlia was H ability to cut in between 1,1(3 tho two 1 fi vtreeK , armieft . which led to the speedy retreats which were the beginning b h of ,, eurJ, , Ihe (r reek accounts that «ne Ray both retreats were orderly, * 7 \ hut’such news comes only , from . official . sources j? liable. * tllenB ’ w!(i - h arc “o* exactly re- It is just possible, so far from being orderly, they may both have ended in a panic, ns was the case at Larissa. Kdham I’asha will almost certainly follow to prevent General Sniolenski from rejoining the main army. In any event, General Sniolenski is now cut off from all chance of em¬ barking on the Greek vessels at Volo. He must either surrender to the Turks or endeavor to reach Larissa by the difficult mountain paths, so that ev¬ erything indicates that Greece will be compelled to sue for peace in order to save the remnant of her army from destruction. The absence of Greek cavalry at Pharsalos left the Greeks in complete ignorance of ihe move¬ ments of the Turks and it is another illustration of the general incompe- tcncy of the Greek staff. General Sniolenski has admitted that long habits of guerrilla warfare have made the Greek army helpless against modern military strategy. It is now believed that the end would come much sooner, but for the diffienl- ty the Turks have experienced in bring- mg adequate supplies of ammunition or magazine rifles and modern artil- lery over the mountain passes.

Scruggs, chief clerk of the dispensary, and Col. John T. Gaston, ex-eommis- sioner of the dispensary. This is the result of investigations by the attorney general, the testimony showing that Scruggs had taken from a trunk which was seized by constables four boxes of cigars and several cans of peaches. The trunk was the prop- erty of Win. Beckroge, of Savannah, who went to Charleston about a month ago to get married and carried a trunk full of wine and whisky, cigars, canned peaches, oranges, etc. United States Judge Simonton de- clared the seizure illegal and when Beckroge demanded his trunk and contents The they were gone. trunk was sold to Legislator Garris, but tlie board decided that but was a perfectly legitimate transaction, could not stand the idea of em- ployees appropriating the cigars and things to their own use. Gaston got a few cigars, some or- auges and a pair of shoes out of tho trunk, but after the whole matter was ventilated he paid for them. Scruggs has been decapitated as chief clerk and W. If. Lawrence, an his expert bookkeeper, was appointed in place. REVOKED CLEVELAND’S ORDER. Iix-I‘re8i(1fiiit's Forest lioscrvat.ion Criti¬ cised Ry the .Senators.
