Hyrtl, by far the greatest anato-
mist Of the age, used to say that
he could distinguish in the darkest
room, by one stroke Of the scalpel,
the brain of the inebriate from
that of the person who had lived
soberly. Now and then he would
congratulate his class upon thepos-
session of a drunkard's brain, ad-
mirably fitted from its hardness and
more complete preservation for the
purpose of demonstration. When
the anatomist wished to preserve
the human brain for any time he
effected his object by keeping it in
a vessel of alcohol. From a soft
pulpy substance it then becomes
comparatively hard. But the ine-
briale, anticipating the anatomist,
begins the induratlng process before
death = begins it while the brain
remains the consecrated temple of
the soul, while its delicate and gos-
samer tissues still throb with the
pulses of heaven-born life. Strange
infatuation thus to desecrate the
godlike! Terrible enchantment
that dries up all the humanities
and sweet charities of life, leaving
only a brain of lead and a heart of
stone

y: MONDAY EVENING, APRIL9, 1877,

The men are encamped in tents,
making their beds of boughs, while
their extra clothing, a pair of duck
oyeralls, woolen shirt and two pairs
of woolen socks, is kept in an old
grain sack and used as pillow at
night.
Sunday in the woods is always a
day for sharpening axes, mending
sleds, repairing boots and clothes,
setting out a new tenting spot han
dier to the cutting in the woods,
and all the odd chores which would
grow out of the congregation Of so
large a body Of men. All we'll
regulated camps exclude liquor.
Being usually fifty to two hundred
miles from any settlement, and the
men not paid until the end of the
season, there is little inducement
for any speculator to peddle rum
through the woods, or for the men
to straggle off in search of it.
The consumption of axes and
handles is enormous, an axe lasting
month and a handle about three
weeks. The axes are sharpened
daily, some camps having regular
sharpeners,' while others require
each man to keep his own axe in
order. The old axes are never col
lected for the junk-dealer, the dis.
tance to ship them being almost
too great to make it an economical
measure. Woodsmen generally
consider spruce harder on axes
than either birch or pine. The
gum which runs out of a spruce
tree is found hard enough to chip
the edge of the axe when striking
through it.

A Kansas EDITOR on Babies.

Atchson Patriot.l
We love babies, and also anybody
else who loves babies. No man has
music in his soul who doesn't love
babies. Babies were made to be
loved, especially girl babies-when
they grow up. "A man isn't worth
a "shuck" who doesn't love a baby,
and the same rule applies to women.
A baby is a spring day in winter, a
hot-house in summer, ray of sun
shine in. frigid winter, and if its a
healthy. good-natured baby, and
it's YOU !; it's a bushel Of sunshine,
no matter how cold the weather. A
man cannot be a hopeless case as
long as he loves babies-one at a
time. We love babies all over, no
matter how dirty they are. Babies
were born to be dirty. Our love for
babies is only bounded by the num-
Der of babies in the world. We
also have sorrowful feelings for
mothers who have no babies. Wo-
men always lock down-hearted who
have no babies; and men who have
none always grumble and drink and
stay out at nights, trying to get
music in their souls; but they can't
come it. Babies are babies, and
nothing can take their place.

Japan suPerstiuiOns.

japanese people are very super
stitious, and have innumerable
signs and tokens by which to
regulate their conduct and beliefs.
They never sweep the room of a
house Immediately after one of the
inmates has set out upon a journey
this would sweep out all the luck
with him. At a marriage cere-
mony neither bride nor bridegroom
wear any clothing of a purple color,
lest their marriage-tie be soon
loosed, as purple is the color most
liable to fade. They have some
curious ideas in regard to finger
nails, which are cut only at certain
times. When a person loses a tooth,
either arti6cially or at the hands of
a dentist-Japanese tooth-carpen-
ter Or by forceps, or by accident,
in order that another may grow in
the empty socket, the tooth, if from
the upper jaw, is buried under the
foundation of the house; if from
the lower jaw, it is thrown upon
the roof a house. OF hundreds Of

BrIEnoIi ina FIX.

Brignoli is proverbially one Of the
beings who never could, by any
possibility, become actors. That
+" silvery-voiced tenor" is as thor
ough a "stick as ever stood within
the foot-lights' glare; and he must
have taken a pride in maintaining
that character, for he has never
tried to be anything else. He cared
very little for business" but he
was once involuntarily brought into
a situation where he had to act as
a foil, or rather aseoond, to another
persons business, in a way that
seemed exceedingly funny. He was
impersonating Robert " in Robert

HOW Lumbermen Live.
Norlhwestern Lumbstnan.l


Three hundred men will cover
and cut a section of about three
miles square taking off over 10000
logs, which would measure about
100000 feet, each season. Work
begins at daylight and ends at dark;
and when the days lengthen or the
moon favors a longer twilight or
earlier morn the men get the bene-
fit in longer working hours. On
the river when the drive is started,
work begins at three O'clock in the
morning and ends at nine in the
evening, the men having five meals;
breakfast at six, lunch at nine, din
ner at twelve, supper at five and tea
at nine. The meals consist of pork
and beans, corn bread, molasses
cake and tea and coffee.
No stint is given to a mans ap-
petite. The fare, such as it is, is
abundant, monotonous, nutritious
and cheap. A cook is provided for
every fifty men. The beans are
generally the large white bush, par
boiled in pots holding half a bushel,
then ten pounds of pork is set in
the middle of the beans in the pot,
a quarter Of pint Of molasses
poured in, and then the pot is set
in a hole surrounded with hot ashes
and burning charcoal, the top oov-
cred with a stone, over which a
heavy wsod fire is built, and here
they stay from fiyo to eight hours,
coming out a most palatable dish.
All the baking is done in rudely-
built stone ovens, which are heated
before the dough is mixed, with a
good wood fire. The loaves of bis
cult or cake are set upon the hot
stones and are cooked quickly and
thoroughly.
A camp Of three hundred men
will consume daily four barrels Of
beans, half a barrel Of pork, one
barrel of -four, half a barrel o
sugar, and five gallons Of molasses

town. Oarditf IS a lively business
place, and / am confident that the
new theater will succeed in spite of
the Tory dailies. Cardiff is not
noted for its musical taste, if we
judge from the very few musical
clubs, and yet the people turn out
well to the concerts given by travel
ing troupes. The best music (home
talent) | heard there was at the
landau Cathedral. This grand
old structure is said to have been
built in the early part of the fourth
century, a mile distant from Car
diff proper, in the city of landau,
a place of about 800 or 900 inhabi-
tants. Cardiff is a townonly, while
Landau is a city, being a bishoprie.
While landau boasts of its grand
old cathedral, Cardiff rejoices in
its old castle, the residence Of the
Marquis Of Butte, who is now reno
waiting the old castle, and making it
in imitation Of the one battered by
the bold Cromwell, and also on the
same site. From Cardiff Castle
there is a subterranean passage
three miles long, to Csstell Coch
(Red Castle). No one seems to
know anything about said passage,
more than that it contains many
peculiar cells and closets of various
kinds.
1t is generally known that the
present marquis, young man Of
about thirty winters, has turned
Catholic = the family previously
being Scotch Presbyterians. The
young marquis having married a
Catholic, was obliged to Join his
wife in religion. A good joke,
which is told on the marquis, proves
that he was not a .devout convert.
After lapse of four weeks Of the
first Lenten season since their mar
riage, the slim dinner of the fast
did not satisfy the marquis appe-
tite. He asked his lady how long
that kind of thing was to 90 on,
when she politely replied: 1.-TWO
weeks, my lord" "D-n the two
weeks!" said his lordShip.
Moving up the Tarf valley, we
came to Treherbert, where an
Eisteddfod ia music fest, and com
petition in music, prose aud poe
try was held on st. Dayid's day
March l. The excitement at some
of these meetings is intense, and
was up to fever heat on this occa-
sion. A lively discussion occurred
just before the singing of the prin.
icpal choruses, in which the direc
tors Of the various choirs figured
prominently, while their respective
choristerS kept up the hubbub o
the noise.
After about ten minutes loud
talking, the women joined the hub
bub chorus and the excitement be-
came a row. AT this point l thought
we shsuld have war, but in a little
while the difficulty was settled, the
contest began and each choir sans
in fine style. 1t seemed to me tina
the more the singers were aroused
the better they would sing. Time
are very hard here at present, bu
it seems the people must and viii
have an Eisteddfod in'spite of al
hardships. 1t is astonishing how
well these poor, hard-working peo
pie can sing the most classic music
1t is a treat to hear them. The,
rehearse more than the Londoner
and sing with more correctness
giving more vim and spirit to th
music. They study music in tn
Tonic Sol Fab system, as well a
the ordinary method, so that all ar
capable of reading music at frs
sight in one or the other method.
