Letting on the Steam.


There are more interesting cases by
far i'll which eXcitaile persons, know
ing their own Weaknesses, have pro-
vided themselves with some mode of
exercise on purpose to divert their cX-
element from a hurtful to an innocent
channel. An instance of this we find in
the life of Oberln, pastor of Ban de la
Roche in the High Alps, in the south of
France. Obellin was one of the best of
men, and endeared himself to his peo-
pie almost beyond example. Besides
being an earnest pastor, he was a maker
of roads, IA builder of bridges, Il reformer
and philanthropist generally, who
transformed his parish from chaos of
deSolation into beautiful abode of
Christianity, civilization, and comfort.
1t was not to be wondered at that a
man with so many irons in the fire
should be somewhat impatient and have
a little trouble with his temper. At
such times Obcrlin used to run back
ward and forward IN his room, beating
his hands together rapidly with a re-
sounding noise, until his temper re-
gained cOmposure.
Those who are familiar with the his
tory of the Brontes will remember what
is told of their father, the eccentric and
eXcitable incumbent of Haworth. Even
during his wife's lifetime he formed the
habit of taking his meals alone; he con
stantly carried loaded pistols in his
pockets, and, when excited would fire
these at the door of the outhou>cS, 50
that the villagers Were quite accustomed
to the sound of pistols at any hour OF
the day in their pastors house If We
are not mistaken, he had another outlet
for his emotion, setting up a bolster and
boxing it when he was angry; but of this
We are not so sure

A SLEEPING CHURCH.

Mr.. d. L. Moody relates the 70
lowing: There was 4 little story
going the rounds of the American
press that made 4 great impression
upon me rs a father. A father
took his little child out into the field
on Sabbath and lay down under q
beautiful shady tree, it being a
no; day. The little child ran about
gathering wild flowers and blades
OF grass, and coming to its father
saying: Pretty, pretty" At
last the father fell asleep, and while
he was sleeping the child wandered
away. When he awoke his first
thought was, Where is my child p
He looked around, hut could not see
him. He shouted at the top Of his
voice, and all lie heard was the echo
Of his own voice. No response.
Then going Ito a precipice some
distance he looked Gown, and there
upon tie rocks and Dr;ars he saw
the mangled form Of lis loved child
He rushed t. the spo5. took up the
lifeless corpse, and hugged it to his
bosom and accused himself Of being

fathers and mothers are there il

too-whose children are wandering

A BEG LOAD.

The several logging csmps Of one
lumber firm in Cleveland arc all in
northern Michigan, and have turn
ed ont in the season just closed an
aggregate Of 40,000.000 feet OF
lumhcr. The camps are scattered
along the Au Sable and Pine rivers.
Some OF the logs are foated 100
miles before the mill at Oscoda is
reached. The logs are hauled from
where they are cut to the river on
low bob sleds over careful pre-
pared roadway. These roads, after
a snow foundation is formed at the
beginning of the season, are care
fully scraped with a patent scraper.
f FE2inea-a--t sn:;:r. with on
abundant flow Of water, is run over
the road at night. This water
freezcs and makes the road-bed q
mass Of solid ice each now fall
carefully scraped off and the food
ing process continues nntill the ice
driveway is eighteen or twenty inc
ches above tie surface Of the ada
cent land. Thus built, the road
bsds are firm and net as suScept.bl :
to . thaw rs the ordinary Snow
packed roads. In laying out these
roads q distance of two miles IS
often traversed to make point not
more than one quarter Of a mile
distant. This is requisite in max
ing it perfectly level, or with a
slight Incline towards the objecting
| point OF tle loaded sleds.
On such magnificent roads I'M
mense hauls can be made, and the
expense incurred in building and
caring for them is amply justified.
In the company office in Cleveland
is a large photograph Of the .argest
load OF .ogs ever drawn by a single
team of horses. The picture was
taken about three weeks ago at
Otseeo Lake, on the mead waters OF
the Au Sable river. There are
twenty one pine log, 81 fret long
| and the load measures 30.O98 feet OF
GOOD lumber, board measure. The
| hollow butts, bark and waste are
all scaled out of these figures. A
close estimate OF the weight OF the
load puts it at ninety tons. The
team weighed about 5000 pounds,
and easily hauled this immense
we;ght distance Of q mile and q
quarter. The horses pull wide
apart the neck yoke and whiftie trees
being twelve feet in length. The
holsters Of the bob sleds on which
the load rests are Of the same lengt!
and The logs rise up to a height OF
about sixteen feet. The runners
orthe bob sleds are about four IN
ches wide and six inches thick
The bobs set very low and spread
! fully twelve feet. They are con
nected by cross chains which rur
from the heel Of the front sled tt
the toe of the rear one, crossing II
the centre. The logs are Loaded
by. means of skids, which reae!
from the ground to the load. Will
q rope and tackle roll the horses the
logs up the inclined plane into
place with the greatest ease. Iher'
| is a deal of rivalry in the lumber
camps over the question OF .Dls
loads. A few years ago three o'
four Of thess logs scaling 1000 Oh
1000 feet of lumber, were consider
cd q pretty good load for a team
The improved roadways have large
" contributed to the increase'
hauls.

EATING BEFORE SLEEPING.
Recommended as O Positive Cure for Sleep
lessness by Physician.

"Go home and eat good supper,
that's all the medicine you want,
and the medical gentleman, to whom
a Mail nnd Express reporter had
gone for q nervine, a sedativc or
potion, opened the door to show
him ont.
But, doctor, it's II o'clock at
night"
We'll, what of it? Oh, / sec.
The popular prejudice against eat
ing at night. Let me tell you, my
young friend, that unless your
stomach,is out of order, it is more
benefit to you to eat before going to
bed than it is harmful. Food OF a
simple kind induces sleep. At
what hour did You dine??'
six o'clock"
''Humph! Just what 1 thought.
Six o'clock. Fourteen hours be-
tween dinner and your breakfast.
Enough to keep any man awake.
By that time the fuel necessary to
send the blood coursing through
your system is burned out. Ami
mails sleep instinctiyely after meals
Human beings become drowsy af:
ter eating. Why? Simply because
the juices needed in digestion are
supplied by the blood being solicit
ed toward the stomach. Thus the
brain receives less blood than
during the hours Of fasting, and be-
coming paler the power grows dor
mant. Invalids and those in deli
cate health should always eat be-
fore going to bed. The sinking
sensation in sleeplessness is call
for food. Wakefulness is often
times merely & symptom of hunger.
Crafty the desire and sleep ell
sues. The feeble will be stronger
if they eat on going TO bed. Some
persons are exhausted merely by
the process of making their toilet
in the morning. A cup oi warm
milk and toast on retiring or of
beef tea ON awakening will correct
it."
"But is it not essential that the
stomach should rest?"
Undoubtedly. Yet, when hun
CRY we should eat. Does the in
fant's stomach rest as long as the
adults? Man eats less often only
because his food requires more
time for digestion Invalids and
children at night. may take slowly
warm milk, beef tea or oatmeal
, The vigorous adult can eat bread
, milk, cold beef, chicken, raw oys
ters or soma ether such food. Oi
