have enough to do, with steady feet,
and eyes on the alert. For of all the
vast array of logs-and | once saw
twenty-four Thousand in one drive-not
one goes through the sluice but is
guided on to it by one or more of the
drivers. They often ride standing on
the floating logs, conducting this push
ing that, hurrying another, straighten-
ing, turning and guiding; and just be-
fore the log on which driver stands
reaches the sluice he springs to another.
Woe to him if his foot should slip, or
his leap fail! He would be crushed
among the logs in the sluice, or dashed
among the rocks in the seething water.
After all the logs are safely sluiced,
the chains of the guards are slipped,
the RATS are broken up, and these,
windlasses and all, follow the logs.
Then the boats are put through the
sluice. Sometimes when the dam is
high, some of the river-drivers 90
through in the boats dangerous
practice, this; for often the bateaux
have gone under water, entirely out of
sight, to come up below the falls, and
more than once have lives been lost in
this foolhardy feat.
A boom generally passes from three
to six dams and sometimes takes four
months to reach the mills. iJiua. j
Occasionally the logs become iammed
in the rivers, and must wait for more
water; if this can be supplied from
lake above, the difficulty is easily
remedied.
In the Spring of 1880, jam occurred
at Mexico in Maine. The logs were
piled forty feet above the water and
covered an extent of area as large as
an ordinary village. This great jam
attracted many visitors from all pa is
of the country until the spring freshets
of the next year could supply the river
with water sufficient to loose them and
bear them on their way.-MrS. S. B. C.

THE STORY MY BOOTS TOLD ME,

was pleased, tired and discouraged /;
so, retiring to my room, concluded the
best thing would be to look around
among my finery little, see if my boots
were all right-no buttons off, that
means-and then take a nap.
The feeling of pleasure spoken of was
caused by having received an invitation
to Mrs. Col. Flushing's party. The
Flushings were very select people, who
lived elegantly, kept servants and horses,
and, best of all, were possessed of intel
igence and refinement. So it was de-
cidedly a pleasure to have been invited
to visit them. Then their nephew, Mr..
Eugene Flushing, whom had met sew
eral times in company, always came in
from the city to attend their receptions,
and he was really very charming gem
tleman; nor was alone in this opinion,
even Cad Pinkerton, who had refused
offers innumerable, was decidedly at
tracted by Mr.. Eugene; and Bessie
Wimple told me in conference.-the
could help liking Bessie Wimple, with
her CHEEKY, loving manners, and fond
ways?-yes, she lovingly told me in
confidence that at our church festival
Cad was very much annoyed, in fact
seemed really vexed, when, Mr.. Flush
ing offered me his arm at supper-time.
Nor was it the fact of his being re-
ported to be very rich which made him
so attractive. He had travelled almost
everywhere on the globe, and his con-
versation was delightful, being Just as
easy and entertaining on one subject
as another; and always did admire
brains. -Gtslaru 3 40
But I was tired. We didn't keen
much help, only .'small servant who
helped somewhat, but left me a great
deal to do, as father and mother were
very particular how things were done,
and company was expected for o few
days; SO | had had "batch of mince
pies" and cake of different kinds to
make. If only the company had been
coming some other time! But no; of
course they must come Just when I
would have been glad of little rest.
and freedom from that everlasting
cooking. And father had Just requested
me to make few sliced-apple pies the
next morning, as Uncle Nat liked them
SO much. nd f,,, hs.l,~..,
The next night was to be the night Of
the party; but that of course would
make no difference; and then, with my

had been worn and worn, with different
ribbons and Fittings, and so on, until /
was almost ashamed to make my APP

one or the other. And there was Cad

dress, and an elegant one, too. And

Some unprincipled dealers, because
they could see a few cents more profit,
have been guilty of offering worthless
substitutes for the only original and

oher.

sire to inform you that l have used

has been that it possesses all the medical
advantages that you claim for it. Au
to whom 1 have recommended it say,
as well rs myself, that it deserves its es-
tablished reputation a the best and
most e~fiicaci0us Sulphur Soap that can
be used for all skin cleansing, as well
as toilet purposes. Some unprincipled
drug store keepers have endeayored to
substitute otker kinds of Sulphur Soap
for Glenn's-saying that they were

other kinds, 1 find NONE are so good
or SO beneficial as the Genuine Sulphur

AM, in the 18th Kentucky cavalry, in
October, 1862, he became a captain in
the following month, and served well
and faithfully in the civil war, until he
was mustered out of the service in
1865. As a reward for his services, he
was appointed a second lieutenant in
the third regiment of cavalry, on the
23d OF February. 1866; became a first
lieutenant on the 18th of the following
July; and was made a captain on the
25th of September, 1876. Through all
Of his service, he was noted for his
bravery and gentle disposition, and on
every occasion acquitted himself with

On the 10Th of September, 1879, when
the United States troops were attacked
by Ute Indians, ON Milk Creek, Colo

gallantry, and, during the subsequent
operations, won the esteem of all by his

the whole device is simple, strong and

NEGOTIATION OF STocK.-B. +. j.,
in a recent letter TO the Country Gen
%tlenidn, speaks Of the first importation
of fine cattle to this country, as fol.
lows: There is an item current In the
agricultural papers at this time, cred,
tied TO the Irish Fdrmers' Gazette,
which states that the first neat stock
brought into this country, consisting
of four cows and a bull, were landed
somewhere in Virginia, from Ireland,
in 1610. The FIRST sheep, the same nc.
count goes on to say, were eighteen
ewes and two rams, and introduced in,
TO New York in 1925, as a novelty, by
the Dutch West India company. Ca
beca dc VEGA introduced the first horses
but they all persisted. Subsequent,
De Soto, in 1899, brought in his expe
dition many very fine Spanish horses
and these aye said to be the remote an
cestors of tho wild herds Of Texas and
the southwest. But how shall we ac'
count for the origin of the Choctaw
COW, which was early found to be do
mesticated among the Choctaws and
the Chickasaws, and among which
there then existed atradition that they
were brought from Spain by De Soto In
1889. There seems to be two distinct
