however lightly she might treat the offending
vegetable, it was made, in former times the

thought that to a Spirit that favored the
growth and presided over the harvesting of
such product Just such demonstration
would be acceptable. The demoniacal orgies
in which those Chippewas were indulging
could not be more fittingly introduced than at

MONSTER PINE.-I have worked in the
forest among this timber several years have
cut many hundreds of trees and seen many
thousands but have never found one larger
than the one | felled on stream which emp
tied into Jackson Lake, near the head of Bus
kahegan stream, in the eastern part of Maine.
This was a pumpkin pine;" its trunk was as
straight and handsomely grown as a mould
ed candle, and measured six feet in diameter
four feet from the ground, without the aid of
spur roots. 1t was about nine rods in length,
or one hundred and forty-four feet, about sixty
five feet of which was free of limbs, and re-
tanned its diameter remarkably well. / was
employed about one hour and a quarter in
telling it.
The afternoon was beautiful everything was
calm, and to me the circumstances were deeply
interesting. After chopping an hour or so, the
mighty giant the growth of centuries, which
had withstood the hurricane, and raised itself
in peerless majesty above all around began to
tremble under the strokes of q mere insect, as
| might appear in comparison with it. My
heart palpitated as occasionally raised my
eyes to its pinnacle, to catch the first indication
of its fall. 1t came down at length, with a
crash which seemed to shake hundred acres,
while the loud echo rang through the forest,
dying away among the distant hills. 1t had a
hollow in the butt about the size of barrel,
and the surface Of the stump was sufficiently
capacious to allow yoke of oxen to stand
upon it. II made five logs, and loaded six OK
team three times. The butt log was SO large
that the stream did not float it in the spring
and when the drive was taken down, we were
obliged to leave it behind much to our regret
and loss. At the boom, that log would have
been worth fifty dollars.-Springer'S Forest Life.
