Bosco has been here delighting our people.
He can unite himself and do funny things
with cards and handkerchiefs and half dol
lars. Bosco is greater man than Thomas
Jefferson or Gov. Haight and when he shot
Mrs-'s handkerchief into an orange, the
collective lower jaw of the entire audience SO
dropped with wonder and astonishment, that
every bad tooth in the house could be seen.
And Bosco left our town with pocket full Of
dollars singing.

Practical THEoLoGY.-As man at present
conducts the world lie enjoys not half he
needs, and his needs are quite different from
his aoauts. There is water enough in crea.
tion to give every man, woman and child a
bath daily, in any manner they may wish and
of any degree of temperature. In our heat
ed Summer climate, there should be in every
town and village system of Public Baths,
where by the payment of a small sum every
individual might be secured room by him
or herself, soap, towels, brushes, end hot and
cold water. Perfect cleanliness is now either
troublesome or an expensive Injury. 1t is
in reality necessity as well as a luxury to
which men and women viewed as beings
placed on earth to enjoy all they can ration
ally are rightfully entitled. But privileges
like these are reserved for coming and more
reasonable generations. Because our fore.
fathers went comparatively dirty to their
graves, we think we may as well do so. A
wash once week will keep person from
smelling extravagantly. Hence, it is sufi
cient. If we feel lsnguid or lazy or cross OF
out of sorts generally from the neglect o.
this or any other course, which if perse7eret
in would in time make us more vigorous ant
lively, make life more enjoyable and les
plentiful in weary hours we stir up tn
human engine within us to more activity, b,
it mental or physical, by orowding the fur
naces with artificial fuel, whisky and tobsc
co.

The mountains Eastward are full to the
summit of sheep and cattle. People from
the Plains, away to the Southwark as Far as
Visalia and beyond, know more of this por-
ton of our County than do most of Us resi-

much wiser for their knowledge. A 'sheep

There is said to be grove of big trees
some 25 miles, north of Sugar Pine. Rumor
credits their number at 500 and their size to
be as large and even larger than those Of the

ploration ia made, there is no speaking with
positiveness on the matter. They may as

SATURDAY MORNING. J.,y .. lsso

BR.proRDs SrEaM SAW MiLL.-Stepped
the other morning into Bradford's saw-mill
snms Ia miles above Sonora. A great log
breast high was being dumped from truck
!: was rolled into the mill it lay there pas
sive victim; q captured and condemned forest
monarch suddenly man threw around it
great rope with q hook at the end another
man touched lever; the rope tightened and
tha great mass Of wood was hustled and drag
ged on to sliding truck before it ceased
trembling two great iron hooks were clamped
on II fixing il securely on the slide; then
man touched another lever and the slide,
log and all commenced gliding toward two
revolving saws, whose teeth were simply
youges as long as ones hand it came nearer
and nearer. The saws flashed and whirled and
rpun within hairs breadth of the butt.
They nickcd it. But there was no pause In
fhe motion. The coarsest grained saw-dust
few through the mill The saws steadily
crept through the wood. A lengthening
slit appeared. The outer slab of board and
pine bark fell off. The truck few back. to
its first position. A man seized the slab.
lie showed il on rollers until four feet of one
end lay over hole in the floor. Up out of
that bcle sprung a little circular saw and
z-zz-t four feet OF the slab was off and gone
below through q sliding trough for firing.
Another shove. Z-z-z-t four feet more in
snap Of ones finger. So that went. Mean
time the log bad been coming again toward
the saws. This time they shaved off board
with two rough bark edges. That by two men
was slung on another truck, Awhizzing plate
ofmetal came out Of crack and with hoerse
hum quickly cut of the rough edges and there
was perfect board. The log grew quickly
lo.a. They slung it over this side and that,
shaved of slice here and slice there, until
it became perfect white pine cube. This
they pared into little cubes and these into
slices. In ten minutes, that log had ceased
to exist. 1t was in pieces, one of which may
in a months time help floor house at Sugar
Pine, while its mate may answer similar
purpose at Stockton. So they pare down
logs day after day.
There is scarce an inch Of safe or perma-
neut standing room at Bradford's Mill for q
spectator. For in one place logs just landed
come rclling down upon you. In another
sliding trucks will batter at, and run over
you. II you sit down on q smooth and invit-
ing bench, little whiz saws will rush out Of
cracks and instantly saw you into boards,
joists, siding and porter house steaks. If you
get in auybody's way they will sling those
hooks and clamps around you, roll you on the
truck, rush you under that saw, while the
boss. casting his eye momentarily over you
makes tightening like calculation as to how
you will cut up to best advantage, calls out
eighteen, thirty-two y! and in a minute or
two your friends have the satisfaction of
knowing that you were sawed up scentifcal-
ly and with less waste than at any other
mill in the mountains.
And they cut $4,000 feet of lumber there
last week and would have made it 100000
but for setting the mill on FIRE.
