TIE PUGET SOUND TIMBER TRADE.

1t has been generally understood that
considerable lumber trade has grown ri
|, within the last few years on our northern
Pacific coast, but few have been aware. hoy
extensive and far reaching that emmerce ha
become. The Puget Sound basin in Wash
lington Territory is mostly. covered by dens
forests of fir or Oregon pine" invaluabl,
for ship-building and other uses Much of i
can be cut on tide waters, and the rivers
emptying into Puget Sound afford number
less water powers for sawmills. It is est.
mated that Western Washington has Ii, 600
square miles of heavily timbered land which
will yield an average of SO, 600 feet of mer-
charitable lumber to the acre. It seems
likely that this vast timber reserve is nowIto
be drawn upon to supply the markets Of the
world. . 7fss rsat sam ,rg sfd ,soesas
From Official returns it appears that the
shipments of fir from the Puget Sound dis
trict reached in 1869 the figure of 1876, 500, 512
feet. For the six months ending July 1,
1871, these shipments were 1l8, $50 sci feet,
or at the rate of SS7 49, 1872 feet for this year.
This shows an increase which will consider
able more than double the trade in four
years :. It is well understood that the, bust
ness has been much. curiailed this year by
scarcity oftonnage and high freights. As
ship owners are learning that they can find
regular and desirable employment for yes
sells at Puget Sound ports. 1t is expected this
difficultyswill soon disappear. The Sound
is great land locked harbor, having shore
line of 2, 900 miles. ramified by bays, chan
nels, and inlets in every direction, and safe
as a mill pond in every part The water is
very deep and the shore bold, SO that ships
make fast alongside the mills, and timber is
often run from the saw into the hold.
The Custom House records show that dur
ing the six months above referred to, vessels
have been loaded tor almost every part of
the civilized word, Callao, Tahiti, London,
Mexico, Australia, Russia, New York, China,
Valparaiso, Honolulu, Panama, Calcutta,
and Victoria, being among the names found
in the columns denoting destination of car
go. The home consumption is also large
and is rapidly increasing. Kalama, 'Olaqua
and many othernew towns are Springing up,
and Seattle, Olympia, Portland and the older
cities are enlarging their boundaries. The
building OF the ra lroad from Kalama on the
Columbia to Puget Sound has given new
impetus to the development of this whole
region. This road is the north and south
section of the N jrthern Pacific Railroad, and
viii connect the two Pacific coast terminal
points o: the main line. The Northern Pa
cifc Land Grant in Wa shington and Oregon
includes several million acres of these fir
forests, and the opening of the country as the
road advances must still further increase the
growing timber trade of Washington. Com

ingenious method of reckoning by the aid of
the fingers, performing all the operations Of
addition, subtraction, multiplication and d.
vision, with numbers from one up to
0,00o Every finger of the left hand repre-
sents nine figures, as follows: The little fn
ger represents units, the ring finger tens, the
middle finger hundreds, the forefnger thous
ands, the thumb tens of thousands. When
the three joints Of each finger are touched
from the palm toward the tip, they count
one, two and three ofeach of the demonstra-
lions as above named. -Four, five and six
are counted On the back of the finger Joints
in the same way; seven, eight and nine are
counted on the right side of the joints from
the palm to the tip. The forefnger of the
right hand is used as point off. Thus /, 2,

the joint OF the torefnger next the hand on

ABOUT OIL WELLS.

We live near the Allegheny River where
'tis very billy, almost mountains, yet the
scenery is very beautiful. And we are in the
oil country you have no doubt heard of, and
am going to tell you about the oil wells.
First, they build very high, square frame.
sixty and seventy feet high, mnch smaller at
the top and supported by cross pieces; they
call it derrick ,ssand it is used for drilling o
we'll, and then for pumping the oil. Then
they get their boiler and engine, and drill by
steam power They drill ten or twelve hun.
dred feet before they get oil. Sometimes.
when they first strike oil, it will flow out and
up over the derrick and on to the engine and
to build anew then they draw their drilling
tools, and put in tools for pumping; thew
sometimes pump over hundred barrels a
day, but tbs very good we'll; they are
mostly from twenty to fifty barrel wells.
They buiid large, round watts that will hold
two and three hundred barrels for the oil.
and when one is full they run it to the river
iu pipes, where it is taken to the refinerics.
Perhaps cousin Johnnie, or the Wisconsin
Iowa. and Minnesota girls and bows read the

the wells near here. There are between

LIFE AND DRATH.-Few things are
more COMPOUNDED than the instinct of self
preservation and the fear of death. Be.
cause a man struggles for or clings to life
it does not follow that he has any dread
of death. Irrational attachment is often
The antipodes of conscious terror. Every
one of Us has cause and motive to continue
in existence SO long as he has health and
strength and work to do; but not one of
US has an intrinsic reason for apprehen.
SION In going out of existence. Life bris-
ties with purposes, festivities, responsible
ties. We cannot separate ourselves from
them it we would; they will tasten upon
and absorb us In our own despite. Apart

that we do not draw the distinction clear
~. The majority of men prefer their
own country and would not willingly

that they are afraid of another land? Is
strong inclination to one thing to be in

we want to live, Is 1T any proof that we
fear to die? Life is reality, certainty,
something experienced and tested over
and over again. Death ia an idea, an i'm

indifference or faith, as nearness and ia,

TIME.

AS is we'll known, the methods CT dl-
viding time vary in different parts OF the
world ThesChinese begin their day at
midnight, and end it on the midnighS
following, divide the interval into twelve
hours, each equal to two of ours, and
known by a name and particular figure.
In the Turkish Empire time is reckoned
by certain portions of the day, resem-
bling the watches of the ancient Jews
and Romans. Public clocks not being
in use, these divisions of tirne are pro-
claimed by the minarets. The various
ancient divisions of the day differed
wi iely from the customs Of our time.
Chaldeans Syrians, Persians and Indians,
began the day at, sunrise, and divided
the day and nighttime four parts. The
division of the day into quarters was in
use long before the division into hours.
1t was only after the first sun dial was
brought from Catania, in Sicily, to Rome,
that the Romans divided the day into
twcnty.four hours. They called the
time between the rising and the setting
of the sun the naturul day and the
time in the twenty four hours the civil
day. They began and ended the civil
day at midnight, and took this practice
from their ancient laws, and customs and
rites of religious use, long before they
had any idea of the divisions into hours
The Greeks divided the day into twelve
hours-a practice derived from the Baby
lonians--while in Egypt the day was di-
vlded into unequal intervals of time

An Ironing Machine has been Constructed
in France which is considered very superior
to any Of the arrangements heretofore adopt
ed for this purpose, since the result is gen.
uine ironing, and not such as is obtained by
the ordinary manner. The common fiat iron
so long in use, is represented in this machine
by an iron casting of concave form, and
well polished, heated to a constant tempera-
ture by means of gas, charcoal or wood, or
even by steam. The ironing table is replac-
cd by movable roller, coated with flannel,
and ola shape and size corresponding to the
concavity of the iron. To separate the two,
the roller is slightly raised, and can then be
moved by the hands away from the concave
face Of the iron. The two arms of the pedal
are prolonged SO as to receive counter pieces,
which serve to regulate the pressure of the
roller upon the iron, accordin, to the thick
ness of the linen to be ironed. For larger
apparatus a somewhat different method is
adopted. This instrument has already CONS
extensively into use in Paris in large estab-
lishments, and it is estimated that those Of
small size will do the work of FIVE or six
laundresses, and the larger ones that of ten
or twelve.
