The life of tie chopper is q lone
and monotonous one. Three or four
of them build camp together,
and do their own cookingSbeing
supplied with "grub" by the con,
tractor. Each man, on an average,
cuts thirty ties per day, receiving ten
cents each for them. Three ties, rsu.
ally, can be obtained from each tree.
The cutters pile the ties up on timbers
placed upon stumps. so that they will
not be hidden by deep SHOWS. These
men go out in the fall, and usually do
not visit the city more than two or three
times during the year. Every day
through the long winter, they are out in
the timber bright and carly, telling the
trees and trimming and dividing them
into proper lengths. or if storm is rag
ing remain snugly esconsed in their
cabin, putting in the day in reading,
playing cards or checkers, or some like
amusement.
The trees are hauled to the bank of the
river or stream down which they are to
be floated, and banked" When the
snow and ice melts each spring, and the
little creek becomes a torrent, a "drivc"
is organized, the ties are thrown into
the water and floated down to the boom,
where they are taken out, counted and
delivered to the railroad company.
The tie driver is paid good wages, but
his duties are arduous and attended
with considerable danger. He is
armed with a long spike pole, and as
the ties are continually catching on the
banks and bars, is necessarily in water
up to his waist great deal of the time.
Nor is this all, for the ties, in floating
down so narrow, rapid and tortuous a
stream as the Laramie is, from the
headwaters to below the Jelm mountain
canyon, frequently form ''iam."
when thousands of ties become piled
up, one on top of another. Then it is
that the tie drivers must do their best
work. The mass of ties must be loosened
and when it once starts, look out; slip
or fall might be fatal, as the unfortu.
nate driver would be overwhelmed by an
avalanche of whirling, leaping logs.
More than one man has been drowned
in the Laramie by the breaking of these
jams.
Each gang of drivers has its cook and |
pack animals, and the camp moves
with the drive. The men, who are
blessed with good appetites, are fed on
plain wholesome food, bread, potatoes,
bacon and beans.
When the drive is over the men, who
have been in the mountains continuous.
y for months, come to the city for
picnic" of a few days, at the end of
which time many of them return to the
to commence another years

An aged lady Of New Brunswick,
N. j., a short time ago swallowed about
dozen false teeth that had become sep
arated from the plate while she was
eating. Her new food failed to have
any effect upon her, and in the course of
time she forgot about the circumstance.
One day recently the lady felt pain on
her right shoulder, and upon examine
ton she found hard lump. She con-
suited her family physician, who opened
the protuberance with lancet and ex-
tracted therefrom hard and white SUBJ
stance resembling porcelain. The tooth
swallowing performance suddenly came
to the lady's mind, who pronounced it
one of her missing teeth. Since that
Lime the lady has been shedding teeth
from various parts of her body, having
recovered already nine of the lost mas,
ticators.-M. Y. Times.

The wreck of the Rivcrdale, in the
North River, at New York, afforded
rich pickings for adventurous youths
with boats and graphing irons. Ono
young man fished up the door of thc
baggage-room. The paint on the door
was soft and sticky, and adhering to il
was Sl3.O5 in silver coin. The Till Of
the liquor bar was found, and contained,
when hauled out, $26.40. A lad Of
fourteen picked up box containing
seventeen pairs of shoes and case
which inclosed meerschaum pipe and
a handsome revolver. Some valuable
papers lying with these articles were
thoughtlessly thrown away.-M y
