Tho pumping cut of the hike tunnel pro-
crossed satisfactorily all day yoaterday, but
without haste. The now shaft having boon al-
loved to Gil with water during tho discontinue

might DO oqual feewoon them. It was found
that whom tho water in tho shafts had boon low
cred about half way, tho connection bo-
twoen thom entirely coaaod, and it was not
therefore desirable to 'roopon 1t by pumping
from ono faster than from tho othor. Tho
pumping in tho old shaft Ia performed by
ssennl-pump ut tho crib, and by two others on
shore at tho Wator-Works. The now shaft Is
omptiod by lnrge bailor, worked by steam
engine. Whom tho gates Of tho old shaft woro
closed, IT was found that thoy needed oonHidor~

TR.ANssrLASTIsG LARGE re : ERERs.

When in New York city, last De-
eember, we noticed that operations
were going on largely in the way Of
transpianting trees Of extra stZe to
some of the parks. On this subjsct
the IT-estef13 Rural says. - 5i,au q
The transplautfng Of large trees of
from ten to eighteen inches IN diane
ter Of stem Is practieed as 0 regular
branch Of business IN our larger cities
One operator near Chicago keeps
nearly score of teams engaged dur.
ing the winter season in tnis work.
The trees are carefully dug around,
leaving a trench eucircling the BALLOT
earth attached TO the tree, which,
when frozen solid, IS undernn ned and
placed upon strong wagons, Quilt es-
peciaiiy for the purpose, and trans.
ported wherever necessary, the whole.
mass often weighing seyerE tons, the
price being sometimes as high as 500
for a single tree. In this connection
we may note the removal Of an i'm
mense beech tree, as mentiohedd by a

ameter of the branches nffy-elght
feet, and the circumference of the
stem at about a foot from the ground,
seven feet eight inches. The mass Of
soil and undiSturbed roots measured
sixteen by fourteen feet, the roots ex-
tending SIX feet etbeyond, and the whole
weighing considerably over twenty
tons. There was q platform Of strong

PIE HEKFHRS CHINEE.

The child.like simplicity, as well as
the initiative faculty of the Chinese,
have been subjects Of pleasant song
and story: bat the following, from
San Francisco paper, Is, perhaps, the
best Illustration Of these charaeteris-
tics that has been published:
A laughable incident occurred one
evening recently on the up train to
Sacramento There were two seats in
the ear turned so as to face each other.
/ One was. occupied by 3 lady and the
other By q Chinaman.- Evidently the
lady did not relish the presence of the
! sChinamaD, and set her wits to work
to Gust him out. She succeeded about
as follows: Motioning the Chinaman
to rise she explained to him that she
wanted to take the cushions and their
frames, and place them lengthwise
aeross from seat to seat. John said,
"An righsee,r and got out in the
aisle while she placed the seats as
above described. and then proceeded
20 lie down. on the bed thus impro-
Vised, with her head resting on her
valise. She supposed that the China
man would at once take the hint that
the lady wanted % take q little rest in
the place usually occupied by four
persons; but John hadn't heard Of
the woman riRhts movement, and at
once proceeded to crawl in and stretch
himself by her side, with his head on
8 little bundle of his own. The Chi
nese are an initiative race, and like to
do as others do, you know. The lady.
as seon as she discovered that she had
q bed-fellow, got up a little wildly
and started for the next ear, to the in
Unite amusement Of the passengers,
who had been watching the little
scene with some interest. John took
no notice of the fun he had created,
but went 70 sleep with the whole bed
to himself, ~. -. -.

WOODEN D RAILROADS.

Attention is now being called 10 the
wooden railroads that terminate in
Quebec. OF which there are over a
hundred miles IN oBeration. The
gauge of these wooden railroads is
four feet eight and a half inches. The
rails ara made Of hard maple wood.
size four BY seven inches, are set edge
wise, and are notched into the cross
ties four inches deep, being secured in
their places by wedges driven outside
OF the rail. The ties are eight inches
thick, and are twenty inches apart
The cars have four wheels, and pains
are taken to have the cars and loco
motives as light as possible. The rails
are said to last four years, if made OF
good hard wood, and not subjected To
heavy strains. In some instances
trains have been drawn over these
roads at the speed OF thiFty-flve miles
per hour, by locomotives weighing
thirty tons. These wooden railroads
seem to answer very well for ligh;
traffic, and they are 50 calculated thar
iron rails may be substituted for tboss.
of wood when. business requires the
change. The cost Of these roads -arieS
from S4 600 TO 81 600 per mile, accord
irg to the amount Of grading to De
done. This is going back to first priH
eiples, for the first railroad was origin.
ally equipped with wooden rails.

COOPING 4 HEN.

When woman has q hen to drive
into the Good, she takes hold of her
h0ops with both hands and shakes
them Quietly towards the delinquent
and says, sShooe there" The hen
takes one look at the object to con-
vince herself that it's q woman, and
then stalks msjestically into the coop
in perfect disgust Of the sex. A man
don't do that way. he goes out OF
doors and says, /" 1t is singular that
nobody in this house can drive q hen
but myself" anu picking up q stick
of wood, hurls It at the Ohending BE
ped. and observes, Get in there, you
thief.n The hen Immediately loses
her reason, and dsshes 10 the opposite
end of the ward. The man straight
vay dashes after her. She comes back
a0.in with her head down her wings
out. and followed by an assortment of
stove wood, fruiL cans and coal clink>
ers. with a mueh-puffing and very
mad man ia the rear. Skips ap on
the stOop, and under the barn, and
over fence or two, and around the
house, and back again to the coop, all
the time talking as only an excited
hen can talk, and all the while fol-
lowed by things convenient for hand
ling, and man whose coat is on the
sawbuck, and whose hat is on the
ground, and whose peEspiraLion and
appear TO have no limit. By
this time the other hens have got out
70 take a hand in the debate and help
dodge the missiles-and then the man
SAYS every hen on the place shall be J
sold In the morning, and puts on his
things and goes down street, and the !
woman dOns her hoops, and has every I
one of those hens housed and content |
ed IN two minutes, and the only sound |
heard on the premises is the hammer
ing by the Oldest boy, as he mends J
the broken piekets,
