A curious fact is related of the Maine wood
choppers, who, in winter months, while fell
ing trees amid snow and ice, cannot wear
close fitting boots, but very large sizes, that
allow their feet to slip to and fro, thus caus-
ing friction and warmth. But from this they
have their feet completely covered with
corns. In the spring when they raft down
their logs they do not change their clothing
or boots for week., until their arrival at the
saw mills. All the while their feet have
been saturated in water, and when the boots
are removed the corns fall off like nutshells
from the kernel.

A man resides in Fond du Lac, Wis.,, who,
fifteen years ago, was one of the most promi-
sing young men in his native State of Maine,
but contracted Incorporate habits. He mar
ried fine young woman, came West, and
settled in his present town. He kept on
drinking, and soon became a confirmed
drunkard. Now comes the saddest tale of
all. Their child is cross eyed, tongue-tied
and half witted, and in walking staggers from
side to side, just like drunken man does.
