A writer in the "Sunset Magazine fori
October says that Baltimore used 150.1
000 tons of steel and that San Francisco
will consume 500.000 tons. H-iw many
sk.lltd workmen will be required to put
this together and at the highest wages
ever paid such work any
where in the world; Taking the
number of bricks in a four story building
44 ft wiH unH 1 1 0 fr Hpr n a
standard it is flguered that the wages of
the bricklayers will exceed $41,000,000.
If served by hodearriers and mortarmen,
those would get more than $20,000,000;
carpenters as much more: piumbers more
than $10,000,000 and plasters $4,R0O,
000. Laborers and teamsters clearing
away debris will receive $15X00.000,
and foremen and superintendents will
pocket an equal sum.
JEWISH FESTIVAL UfSU((0TH
The Jewish holiday season which be
gan with "Roshha-Shonah" (new year)
two weeks ago continues yet to-day
being called "Hoshna Rabbna" because
of many additional prayers beginning
"Hosh'na," "Save, we pray thee' which
are recited. Seven circuits with the
four symbols of the harvest are made in
the synagogue and additional willows
are held in the hand during prayers.
The entire festival is chiefly "a season
of rejoicing" ("Zeman Simichathenu")
but even in the mist of joy the frale
human life is not forgotten and during
the festival the Book of Koheleth ("cles
iastice") is read. The "succah" or both
is intended to serve for seven days. If
the weather isadverses and the owner
and his family cannot dwell there, meals
at least, are taken there. The roofing is
made of any durable material, and con
sists usually of leaves or branches of trees
thru which the sky can be seen. The
young jewish children usually decorate
the "succah" with beautiful flowers and
fruits. Particularly in the east side of New
York is the custom of building "succah"
very general every yard being utilized
for the purpose. Others use the roof or
even the fire escape, tenants in the houses
combining to pay expenses of their erect
ion and the necessary green boughs to
cover them and taking their turns in
occupancy. Those what are 10 poor, or
unable to nave a "succah" of their own
repair to one belonging to the synagogue,
where they worship and fulfil a part of
their duty by making "Kidush" (santifi
ation of the festival") there.
The copies of President Roosevelt's
Harrisburg speech wh ch were sent to the
daily papers were printed in the "simp
lified spelling." but an Eastern paper
points out that mere were six words so
used out of a total of 8 600 in the
speech.
Dr. Osier' mother is living at tie age
of 1 00 in Toronto. She is reported to be
bright and spry, too. Long may she live
on to exemplify the absurdity of her son'
theory.
