Lest he disfigure them, he wore gloves and slid each one separately down a long smooth slide to the waiting man below, who sat on the ground picking each one from the way of the next, fearing that two would collide. No, they were not eggs, potatoes, nor lumps of sugar. They were bricks. And the men that were handling them are employed by a local conftruction company, in charge of the wrecking of the two brick dwellings on North Ninth street, next door to the Home Telephone company. When asked why such care was given, one. of the offic'als of the construction company said: "There was a time when we tore out all of the joists and other frame work of a buil'n ; and then pushed over the walls. 1 ins was much quicker and easier.
