Further on, We came 10 Protestant

Saw NM AND MAcHix2 SHoP.
In the saw mill, which moved by wa
ter power, the man in charge was measuring
and lsboring 10 set log to be sawed into
boards, by a single saw, in the old clumsy
fashion in which such work. was done In our
new towns 80 or 40 years ago. Now, in New
England, the same adjustment would be
made by simple machinery, in one iortieti
part Of the time he occupied in doing il.
We then visited a machine shop, where
there were about dozen forges. The
smiths were handling iron, and mannfactnr
ing various implements by hard manual la

This morning the first section starts for It.
ally, and the ffth section for Switzerland
We regret the necessity of separation, but
our different destinations require it, Among
the ladies and gentlemen of the first section
l had several very pleasant acquaintances,
whose company was loath to lose.
Our own section comprises thirteen ladies
and fifteen gentlemen The number is less
than that of either of the other four sections /;
but Is large enough for profitable and agreea-
BILE travel When there is crowd, it is
much more difficult to see advantageously. or
to hear explanations by guides or conductors.
Our section consists OF very intelligent and
agreeable people. Coming together mostly
as strangers, we gradually become acquaint.
ed. and learn to value each others society
md conversation. Some are very frank spo
ken and genial. others more reserved. but
when the caskct IL unlocked. the Jewels il
contains are often rich and rare. As Bvror
says.
Your cold people beyond slf price,
