Pursuit of Knowledge in a Saw
Mill.

Last Monday, German called at
Goodhue, Andrews 4 Co.'S saw mill, to
gaze III wonder at the various and com
pileaied machinery. Among other
things that he saw, was "a small circular
saw, saving faster than anything he ev-
er saw before. Its rapid motion facina-
ted him; he reached out his right index
finger toward its ill .defiued periphery,
uor the circumference of saw in mo.
ton looks to be at the base of the teeth.
and not at their points, when to hi,
surprise, the end Of his finger disap
peared in an instant, and rolled away to
the other side Of the saw. The man
tied up the stump in his handkerchief;
whereupon Mr.. Andrews, noticing him.
came up aud inquired what was the
matter. The victim of misplaced con.
fidence replied:
.Misther Andrews, | never comes to
see your mills pefore. / seed dis ting
around 50 fast takes mein vinger to
him, like dis, and-mein Colt ~
In explaining his first mi,hap, the
German touched the saw with his left
fore finger, and that flew off. Turning
to Andrews ia almost breathless aston
ishment, the man exclaimed:
"Misther Andrews, / never comes to
see your mills before see him: neve,
comes to see him agin!'
And wrapping that finger into hi,
handkerchief, he started fora doctor's
office.
It was All apt answer of young lad
who, being asked where was her native
ipIace, replied: Il have no; e: / am the
