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.
A Familiar Occurrence.
“There are in the histories of all
nations,” said the earnest man, “crises
when some few men must step forward
and save their country from utter
ruin.”
“Yes,” replied Senator Sorghum,

every four years with us, the next oc¬
casion of that kind being scheduled
for 1900.”—Washington Star.

The Life-Plant.
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-

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-

ment, lasting fifteen hours, we dis-

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.

AFTER DISPENSARY MEN.
Investigations ICesnlt In the Issuance of
Warrants.
T. J. Williams, a member of the
South Carolina state board of control,
has sworn out warrants against 8. W.
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.

A QUESTION OF SALARY.
King- Gcorse May Yrt Abdicate for Final!-
clal Reasons.
The Lokal Anzeiger (Berlin) says
asked that the the king mediation of Greece has formally
of the emperor of
Russia.
It asserts that the question of abdi-

tions.
When King George came to the
crown it was agreed that if deposed he
should have an allowance of £24,000
yearly, but only one-third of

Across the wide end of a funnel Dr.
Bleyer has tightly drawn a rubber cap,
forming a drum with the small end
open. On the drum head is placed a
layer of the finest powder expressly
prepared for the purpose. Into the
funnel the sounds are directed, and
just as soon as the waves strike the
rubber cap the vibration causes the
powder to dance and scatter and it is
then that the strange forms and fig¬
ures from which the pictures are made
are secured. Dr. Bleyer claims lie can
produce one hundred different designs
