How to Chop Wood.

An old Eau Claire logger says that
If you are cutting small timber, which
may he severed at from one to a halt a
dozen blows, an axe with long, thin
blade, and as little bevel as is compati>
bic with strength, Is chosen, and at
every stroke the blade is buried to the
helve. If the purpose is to fell large
trees or to cut heavy timber, and this
same axe is used, it bites deep in its
strokes, but the chip remains in the
timber after the missions, and more
blows are required to dislodge it than
we're necessary to its formation there.
fore, for this purpose, an axe having a
thick, heavy bovel, and cutting not so
deep, Is selected. The beveI, now
acting as a wedge. forces out the chip
at the same stroke by which the incls
ion is made.

NOrdin,s "Free and Easy

A meeting of the central Blaine and Logan
club was attended by from TO to 175 persons at
Pfeifer's hall. Hon F. F. Davis, of Minneapolis,
made the first speech, claiming, as usual, that
the Republican party only fought the war OF the
rebellion, and forgetting that by all parties in the
north uniting and working and fighting shoulder
TO shoulder, with arms and means, that this
struggle was won. He also claimed the entire
work of reconstruction since the war was the
task of the Republican party alone, concluding
by figuring out that the mission of the Repub-
lican party would not be fulfilled until they had
held the reins of the government over the land
for full 100 years to come.
President Norsline regretted the Colored Glee
club had not put in an appearance and told sew
eral good stories, gave a chunk of tafy to the
Irish citizens and said the English were down on
the Republican party of America for fear its pol
len would blow across the ocean and get among
the flowers and vegetables in the monarchical
gardens He was followed by Mr.. Kenyon, also
of the state house, who tackled the tariff ques-
ton, and came near having to call in the board of
equalization to pick him out OF the snarl with n
frog story he essayed in illustration of his theme
Lawyer Reese then arose and getting square
into the center of the political wood pile threw
dirt at everything Democratic, caromed the
pockets of his party and INDUCED in yelling style
of oratory that would have made Sioux Indian
faint. In the midst of this cyclone of language
All Irishman hurrahed for Cleveland, which was
considered out of place in gathering where so
much free speech was being INDUCED in, and he
was asked to leave, accepting the invitation with
out demur.
The absence of Gen. MacCarthy was mourned
muchly, but he put in an appearance late and
the meeting, which had adjourned, closed ranks
again to listen to him. He had always been
Republican, but not always in partisan sense,
for he voted for Greeley. He learned his Re-
publicanism from an American school teacher in
Canada. He predicted dynamite explosion set
up by the Irish peoples rushing in to elect
Blaine and Logan in November that would blow
every vestige of British dominion from this
land, but did not explain that if this job could
be done in 1884 by joining the Republican party,
why the Irish people had not improved their
chances and gone in a body into Abraham's
bosom before, with shirt front wide open for
full twenty years.

New YORK, Sept. Flor some time past

Murray, one of the drivers, locked the door of
his van in which the mail had been placed, and
drive around to the Broadway side of the building
where another man made his appearance and
sprang into the van. The doors were again
closed by Murray and he drove to the
CORTLAND street ferry. The officers
followed the van on board the

doors. The man then came out with bundle of
mail matter and he and hurry began to tear the
wrappers off. While they were thus engaged

BLSM4RCK At WORK 1GAINsT AMER


The great German Chancellor is not con-
tent to fight the American hog alone, and
American canned meats, but is now turning
his attention to the expulsion of American
oil from German points. He is looking to
Russia for supply of petroleum. The first
train Of German car tanks containing Rus
sian petroleum arrived recently at Graudenz
on the Russian frontier. 1t is considered
that the new method of transportation makes
Russian petroleum % cents cheaper per so
kilas than American petroleum in the Berlin
market AT Eydtkvehnen, the proprietors of
the Caucasian petroleum springs have bought
10 acres situated Immediately on the rail
way, erecting great establishments. Two
hundred car tanks of 60 barrels capacity are
already in use transporting petroleum to
Germany.
Americans in Germany consider this sig
nihcant of the Chancellor's policy, to render
Germany absolutely Independent of Ameri-
can products, following as it does so closely
upon his attack upon American pork and
canned meats. Bismarck seems to be mex
orable in his hostility to America, and Amer
can interests.

F One of the best evidences that the Amerl-
can people of this generation live better than
their fathers did is found in the steady and
rapid growth of the trade in tropical fruits.
1t is not many years since the great majority
of people scarcely knew what banana was,
and considered oranges and lemons as lux
uries to be afforded only in sickness or on
great occasions. Now, not only these but
other tropical fruits, are bought and eaten as
generally and freely as apples, and the con
sumption of melons, peaches, pears, plutens
and berries is on the same universal and ex-
tensive scale. This is a change which tends
not only to crafty the taste, but to promote
health, which is the foundation of human
happiness, and is of advantage to everybody.
There is little danger that any community
will spend too much money for ripe and
sound fruit.
