the position in which il is to stand
is a matter of much more moment
than would at first seem possible
None of our readers who have
travelled among the saw mills OF
the country have failed TO notice
the vast difference which the plac-
ing Of the mill makes. Thus the
righteousness of placing a mill
with its end to the water which is
designed to take logs out of the
water and put the lumber back in
TO it is apparent to the most casual
observer, because in such case the
machinery has to be provided for
moving the lumber twice the length
of the mill, whereas it would only
90 once through il it were placed
sideways with its center as near
the waters edge rs possible. Still
many Of our best mills are 80 To-
Gated by men of the largest exper-
fence. Again, many railway mills
are placed along side of the tracks
while the lumber to be loaded on
the cars Is placed away back Of the
log yard and mill. Others will de-
.iberately plan II mill to discharge
lumber at the end farthest from the
ward, thus increasing the haul to
the extent of two or three cents
per thousand, while the refuse is
dumped at the opposite side OF the
mill from the boiler room which Is
ocatcd where the lines OF shafting
viii have 10 be of the greatest
length, or the engine be set long
way from the boilers. For the
sake of preserving the harmony of
the landscape the mill is almost
universally set at right angles with
the stream or railroad, when in
many cases the diagonal would
save labor aud money.
The height of a mill is also
matter of great importance. We
have in our mind many mills which
seem TO have been constructed up
on the theory that tho higher the
saw floor Of the mill can be built
the better, in spite of the well
known fact that largo amount Of
power is required to be wasted in
hoisting two and n half tons weight
for every thousand feet of lumber
sawed out, TO say nothing Of the
trouble and expense of rollways
and slides to get it down again.
The policy of building a mill on
hill and elevating logs 40 feet to
tho saws seems TO be favorito one,
if there is a chance to
haul the lumber down hill, remind
ing ono of the boys fun Of drag
cling a sled up hill to get chance
to slide down. II there is any
place whore severe economy is
praeticed it is in the length and
width OF the mill building. A
man will jam $4,000 worth of
gangs, edgers, circulars, trimmers,
etc, into a barn about 40 feet
square to save $1,000 in lumber
aud labor in the construction.
The symmetry and convenience of
mill poked up among the clouds,
with every square yard OF space
filed with machinery, ought to ex-
cite admiration Of all beholders,
but it don't make lumber to q good
advantage by long ways, and this
is the supposed object of its erec-
ton, We know of two mills in
the west with what we regard as
plenty Of room on the saving floor
The rest have anywhere from just
enough down to half enough.

Bells Life in London.
GFrom All the Year Round.]

From All lne ear
1t is not many years since Bell ruled the sta
BILE, and still more the pugilistic mind with
rod of iron. The representative OF Bell not
unfrequently filled the post of stakeholder, or
umpire or referee, or whatever it may be at
prize fights and was the only person on the
ground of whom the ruffi1ns assembled stood
in awe. Only once was the respect due to
Bells representative forgotten. A more than
usually blackguardly specimen of pugilist,
acting as second to brother rough fighting in
the ring, not only disputed decision of Bell,
But did there and then strike his representa-
tive. For moment the whole ring side, as
hear the ruffians assembled on such occasions
were collectively called, the whole ring side
stood achast; and then public opinion asserted
itself, and a thousand pairs of biceps swelled
to ayenge the insult. But Bells representa-
tive said "Let the fight go on and it went on
to the end, by which period the rash man who
had struck him felt q sickening horror creep
ing on The furies were already tugging at his
heart strings and he sought everywhere Tor the
injured Bell who had gone away quietly
wrapped up in his dignity and what he loved
to cali his aupper Benjamin." Next day the
penitent called at the house of Bell, but too
iate-the fiat had gone forth his doom was
sealed.
1t seems that his representative on return
ing home after receiving the blow in question,
laid the matter before his colleagues who for a
long while absolutely refused to credit the as
founding intelligence. There was of course no
precedent, and ingenuity went to work to de,
wise such doom for the offender as shoald
make generations of pugilists yet unborn to
shake in their fighting boots. At last Bell
spake The offender was henceforth dead. NO
mention of his name should occur even as an
advertisement in the great sporting organ OF
the day, and it was so. The man was forgot
ten in a twelvemonth, and vainly haunted the
bars OF the sporting public houses at which it
had previously been his wont to describe HIM
self as ''ready" or ''to be heard Of" Men
knew him not. 1t was of no use his wanting
to fight anybody. No brother pugilist would
fight man whose participation would prevent
Bell from taking the slightest notice OF the
combat He tried sparring at benefits; hls
name was always excluded from the list. He
tried to get up a benefit for himself. The ad-
vertisement was refused. He was dead as
Queen Anne. What became of him is not
known 1t is supposed, however, that he was
at last driven to extremites, and went back to
work at his calling, for the world puglllstlc
knew him no more.

The Capoul Bang.

London Correspondence San Francisco Chronicle.
A new style of dressing mems hair is raging
at present in Paris, and has already shown
signs of existence in this CITY, The new abom-
ination is called the 'Capoul bang" from hav-
ing been first inflicted upon human sight by
the reigning favorite tenor in Paris-Capoul.
A few weeks ago an employe of one of the Erg-
lish banks in the city returned from visit to
Paris, and with his hair cut a la Capoul. Be-
fore he could be killed he taught the style to a
fashionable barber in this city. Slowly but
surely, like the advance of all dread infections,
the custom has been spreading until there is a
great danger that, unless some warllke meas
ures are resorted to at once the presence OF the
Capoul bang, accompanied by something in
male attire, may soon appear unmolested at
theatres and other places of resort.
That it may be recognized at sight and
frowned down, a detailed description OF the
disease is hereby presented as obtained from
the barber who is still unmolested, spreading
the seeds of contagion. The hair is cut
short very short, on the sntra 9aca oa annaH ene
ing the occipital with the parietal bones.
That portion of the parietal bones and the rear
norton of the frontal is left comparatively
long The extreme front fringe OF hair Dor
dering the frontal bone and covering the seat
of intellect $50 called) is cut neither short nor
long, but strikes happy medium between the
length obtaining ON the occipital and parietal
regions. The hair having been properly cut
the work of dressing what of it remains COM
menoes The short, rear portion is necessarily
left uncombed. 1t is oiled to an appearance OF
silk and left parted flat to the skull The CEN
trail section is then parted with geometrical cor
rectness in the centre and agitated with gen.
tie puffs, rutf1es and tucks. Then the genu-
inc Capoul feature of the work is begun with
the frontal quarter section. The medium fringe
is carefully disintegrated from the lengthler
crop of the crown, and combed down straight
toward the eyes. 1t will be seen by the osteol-
ogists who have carefully followed this de-
scription tnat the bair in its sectionalized con-
dition represents the anatomical divisions OF
the skull.
