How Maine Lumbermen Live.

An interesting souvenir comes from
the lumber woods of the North in the
form of communication written very
leg,bly on fine sheet of birch bark and
incaSed in an envelope composed of tho
same material. The letter is dated
Mattamiscontis, No. 2, range z, about
fifteen miles from any settlement, in
lumber camp where Mr.. John McGreg-
or has crew of men engaged in cutting
spool wood for his factory, The writer
gives some idea of how men live in a
logging camp: "Our camp is built of
rough logs of poplar laid up on the
sides about four feet and running up to
a pitch in the center of about ten feet,
the roof is covered with cedar splints
four feet long and laid the same as
shingles, making very good covering.
though not very tight. The floor is
made of poles laid on the ground. We
have two stoves, one large heater,
three feet long, and the other cooking
stove. For sleeping apartments we
have berth made the length of the
camp, which is nineteen and one-half
feet, and accommodates fourteen men.
In front of this and on a range with the
stove is the deacon seat, of the same
length as the camp. Our living con-
sists of pork and beans, bread and cook
les, gingerbread and old-fashioned
doughnuts, dried apples, beef, Goldfish,
mackerel, tea and moIasses. For break
fast we have pork and beans hot from
the oven, with gingerbread, cookies and
tea For dinner, which Is eaten in the
woods, we have beans, doughnuts and
bread, with tea, and occasionally beef.
For supper we have Goldfish or macker-
ell and potatoes, with fried pork. We
get any amount of fresh perch and pick
erel close by the camp, in Mattamiscon-
It's Lake. Fish forms prominent item
in our diet. "-BdngOr NE Wig.

ehunder Chose, lately serpent charmer

A-cobra was found in shop where poor
Chose happened to be sitting, and the
public were anxious to put it to death.

perhaps, to advertise his skill, offered

The March OF Malaria.

The recent reports of commissions and
scientific bodies, like the Board Of
Health, giving the results of careful and
extended Investigations, notably the
papers OF DIR. Chamberlain, of Hartford,
and DR.. Adams, of Pittsfield. though
marked by the habitual caution in gen
eralization and inference which charac-
terizes the scientific mind. make it plain
to common sense that the fever. in its
several special types, whether dumb or
shaking, whatever may be its patholo-
gy, or nature, or origin, is due as an
existing evil here to decomposition or
exhalations and all the morbific and
malefc influences engendered- about
marshy or wet regions and impure
water beds. The best authorities are
not sure or agreed on the question
whether the disease is indigenous or
imported, or on the question why
it is brought into activity at one time
rather than another. They generally
concur in the opinion, on both sides of
the Atlantic, that tgerminates or sprouts
in the human body from very minute
spores, measuring. perhaps three thou
sand to an inch. But how these seeds
