The First Saw Mill.

The oldpractice in making boards was
to split upthe logs with wedges; and In
covenient as the practice was, it was
no easy matter to persuade the world
that the thing could be done in a bet
ter way. Saw.mills were first used in
Europe in the fifteenth century; but
so lately as 1866, an English embass-
ador, having seen saw mill in France
thought it a novelty which deserved
a particular description 1t is anus
ing to see how the aversion to labor
saving machinery has always agitated
England. The first saw-mill was es-
tablished by a Dutchman, in 1868;
but the public outcry against the new
tangled machine was so violent, the
proprietor was forced to decamp with
more expedition than ever did Dutch
man before. The "evil' was thus
kept out of England for several years,
or rather generations; but in 1858, an
unlucky timber merchant, hoping that
after so long time, the public would
be less watchful of its interests, made
a rash attempt to construct another
mill. The guardians of the public
welfare. however, were on the alert.
and a conscientious mob at once COL
lected and pulled the mill to pieces.
