had stumbled on a bear, and he
wanted to be where he could fire
over the heads of all the men.
Though only a black and bristling
pig, a bear OF the biggest kind could
not have held the army at bay more
thoroughly. If he had charged, L
tremble to think what might have
happened; but he rushed away into
the bushes and ran into corner,
where he became the victim of
strategy, and was presently bound
and led forth in degrading captivity,
followed by a procession of one
artist, a score of grinnlng lumber
men, and mob of chattering and
dancing Chinese, for the intention
was not to kill MIN, but only to
eradicate his pugnacious propen-
stiles.
This done. the painter | .Gup his
pistol, and we all adjourned to the
big shanty, where some of the men
pulled off their boots and stretched
themselves in restful ease upon
their hunks, while others shufiled
the cards for "a little game" or did
odd Jobs of tinkering.
1t was strange and interesting
picture the interior of the big
shanty made as the darkness of the
outside withdrew all the light from
within, and left the walls and faces
illumined only by the great fire of
resinous redwood chunks built
upon raised earthen hearth that
occupied the whole centre of the
cabin. and the smoke of which es-
capped up big bell-hooded flue in
the ceiling.
The talk fell upon the enemy ig-
nobly conquered upon their work.
and the probable.plans of ..the old
man" meaning their employer;
upon some men who had Just de-
parted, which carried it away to
Frisco, and drifted it upon the ia
miliar ground of "reminiscences. of
the dance-house, the poker table,
and the men who are always wait
ing to s'get the drop" on somebody
or watching that somebody didn't
get the drop on them. Stirring sto-
ries some OF them, but as unreport-
able as the vigorous metaphors in
which they were portrayed. Many
of these men did not know the
names Of their mates beyond Sam
or Jake to call them by; and they
had. no special. curiosity to know,
this atmosphere making a man ten
der about asking his neighbor per
sonal questions, being shy of dis
turbing the pleasant status quo
which rests upon careless iignor-
ance. Would "old Folinsbee's

Life in a Redwood Logging
Camp.

1t is curious social life existing
in these forest communities, the
membership of which is constantly
changing, and whose scene is an
nualIy shifted. at this camp there
were only two families, but they
had nothing TO do with the housing
or feeding Of the sixty or more men
(half Chinese), who messed by
themselves, and slept in slab shan
ties near by, the Cinnamon having
a group of well-mottoed houses to
themselves.
John Chinaman is in force here,
as everywhere, for all help-work.
His slight, wiry frame, with its
shoulder under the lever, shows
as much tough strength as that of
his burly white neighbor, and he
grinds all day at the feed-cutter or
totes kegs of water, balanced across
his neck, up and down the steep
declivities from morning till night,
without seeming to tire out or even
thinking of holiday. His it is also
to manage the kitchen of the camp.
"John, where can we get some
thing to eat?" we ask, as the sun
begins to send level beams between
the ruddy pillars Of the so'dierly Sc
quotas.
"Heap catchum cook house." be
answers, and following his beck, oul
experience shows him a capital
bread maker and beef rooster, but
not careful washer of dishes.
The men had gathered in the long
wooden shed for supper, eating on
wooden tables. but with an abund.
ance Of furniture and plentiful
bill of fare. Supper was hurried
through this evening, for the men
had on hand a frolic which had also
the serious purpose of Kidding the
camp of an obnoxious old boar that
had acquired a troublesome taste fol

in the same direction.

there is abundant evidence-ay,

that sisted the English on the same

Northmen show that. OF whatever
race, they were well advanced in the
art of war, and used not only the
bow, but hatchets and the sling.
They were ''men OF short stature,
bushy hair, rude, fierce, and devoid

The Bic Diamonds.

There have been some big dia-
mond robberies in Cleveland lately.
The Leader, of that city, gets psy-
Geological and historical and inter
esting while telling of them, and
says:
One of tie strangest passions of
which man can be possessed is a
passion for precious stones.a The
jewelers. Of this city say thai men
and women frequently come into
their stores and spend hours in
silently gazing at the set gems, not,
apparently, with any desire to pos
sess them, but simply filed with a
passion to feast their eyes upon the
glittering jewels. One large dealer
acknowledges that he is beset with
this passion. Whenever he visits
New York he spends an entire day
visiting the jewelry stores to look
at the diamonds, although he has
many at home. In all ages many
superstitions have clustered about
precious stones, and learned men
have expressed the belief that dia-
mondS, sapphires and rubies were
talismans of mysterious virtues,
possessing healing powers and pro-
tecting their possessors from dan
gers. Bloody wars have been Waged
IN India TO, the possession of great
gems, and fortunes have been eX-
pended to obtain them.
The most celebrated diamonds of
history are the following, with
their estimated values:

Of Killarney, in Ireland, which re peats a bugie call until it seems to bepseunded from hundred instru ments; and that on the banks of Naha, between Bingen and Coblentz which repeats a sound seventeen times. The most remarkable artifi- cial echo known is that in the Gas tie Of Simonetta, about two miles from Milan. It is accustomed by two parallel walls of considerable length. It repeats the report of a pistol sixty times.
 The largest bell in the world IS the great bell of Moscow, at the foot 'ofa the "kremlin. It's circumference at the foot snearly 68 feet, and its height more than 2l feet. In its stoutest part it is g inches thick and Its weight has been computed to be AS, 772 pounds. It has never been hung, and was probably cast on the spot where it now stands. A piece of the bell is broken off. Tie fracture is supposed to have been occasioned by water having been thrown upon it when heated by the building erected over it being on fire, f.g.a

Give the Boys n Chance.

Give the boys on the farm a chance. Let them feel and under stand that they have some personal interest centering around the old homestead, and that it is to their advantage to remain there. No bet
 ter plan could be adopted to create and maintain such an impression than by allowing them a moneyed interest in something produced at home. Let that something be some thing produced by their own exer- tion; something in which they will take active interest. The daily rou- tine of farm life such as is usually experienced by boys is of itself irk- . some and not at all calculated to at tract a boy to agricultural pursuits. Therefore, adopt whatever may seem feasible to encourage boys to the be
 lief that they had better remain at home than wander away from it. A farmer would act with wisdom if he would encourage his boy to engage Tn such enterprises, as come within his capabilities such as the raising of fancy poultry, pigs, pigeons, &c. And if the youngster needs assist ance in blaming and building the necessary coops, cotes and houses, assist him. Give him a lift. Let him understand that there is money in the business, and that whatever he may earn in that way shall be absolutely his own. When necessa- ", assist him In the financial and business parts of his enterprise also. See that his shipments are properly directed, that they are made to res pectable and responsible parties, and that the accounting therefore is cor rect If he will, let him open bank account in his own name and for his own use and benefit, so that he can deposit tho proceeds of his own la Dor. Eggs always command remu- nerative prices in cities; poultry fattened for market always bring more than they cost; such as are intended to he sent to market for the Thanksgiving or Christmas season, frequently command fancy prices; ordinary pigeons are always saleable, particularly for sportsmen's use fancy birds, and white and gray rabbits always find ready sale as pets in almost every town and city in the country. The business of rearing such is naturally interest ing to boys, and if they are encour. aged to engage in such, for their own personal benefit, it would be the means of keeping many of them on the farm who would sooner or later seek their fortunes elsewhere.

8 The most extensive cavern is the Mammoth cave, in Edmondson coun- ty, Ky. 1t is near Green river, about six miles from Gave City, and about twenty eight miles from Bowling Green. The cave consists. of sue cession of irregular chambers, some of which are large, situated on diff. erent levels. Some of these are trayersed by navigable branches of the snbterranean Echo river Blind fish arc found in it's waters.
 The largest Empire in the world is that of Great Britain, comprising S,557 ,65S square miles-more than q sixth part of the land. of the globe and embracing underri.s rule a sixth part of the population of the world. In territorial extent the United States ranks third, contain ing 3,5SO, PAP square miles, Includ- ing Alaska; in -populatien-it-ranks ks fourth, with it's 50,000,000 people. - Russiai ranks second, S,352, ,930 square miles. r
 The largest trees are the nam moth trees m California. One of q grove in Tulare county, according to measurement made by members of the State Geological survey, was shown to be 276 feet high, l06 feet in circumference at base and seven ty-six feet at point twelve feet above the ground.

A Purpose in Llfe for Women.

The Chronological Journal,i in dis- cussing the subject of1g"A Purpose in Life for Women," forcibly says:
 The old chivalric nonsense about woman's degradation ii being com pelled to labor for her own bread is almost forgotten, and we are llegin- ming to regard her with admiration proportioned to the capabiiity she exhibits in the field she has chosen for the employment of her powers. Society IS in fact becoming more and more convinced of the fact that women differ in mental organization as much as men, and thatymany are better fitted for the outer, active life of the world than for the inner, quiet duties of the home, and any attempt to force upon all the same rule of life would not only be arbitrary and unreasonable, but productive oi harm to the community.
 '"The feminine brain is similar in constitution to the masculine; it has as many parts, as many organs, as many functions, as many faculties. 1t is therefore, adapted to varied field of action, and compulsory re- striction to limited sphere must result m unbalance and abnormality. With opportunity for the exercise of all the faculties, with training adapt ed to the general growth of brain and body, the many shiftless, tickle, helpless women who burden the so- called educated classes, would disap. pear, and Tn their place we should find thoughtful, diligent, useful members of society.
 "In well-to-do circles there is some remnant of the old notion that girls should not be expected to work for therr own support, and there it is we find the largestproportion of women without a purpose; but it will not be long, we think, before the practi- cal spirit of our era wilIhave swept that notion from it's ancient place, and the girls whose advantages for self-culture should be equaled by their opportunities for the exercise of their. talents and requirements, will, like their brothers, demand suitable employment. The ambi- tious, enterprising boy finds some thlng to work for, some object that whets hls courage and stimulates his diligence; the ambitious, spirited girl equally needs an obiect-some material, encouraging Aobject-to ward which sEe can work, and i'm her with the noble senti. usefulness-t -to.
