stood holding it between his

did you ever, when You saw Il
discarded bent pin, pause and re-
fleet how long it took to make it,
aud how many different hands
contributed toward iashi@ning it as
il isl 1t is an instructive and bene-
fetal subject OF contemplation. In
the first place there were miners
who dug the metal it is composed
OF the men who transported il to
the factories 4; the workmen who
made the pins the workmen who
sharpencd them {; the dealers who
sold them to the tradesmcn {; the
men who carried them to the stores
and the salcsmen who retalled
them over the counters-u just

From politics aud all its cares We are just

Kindly relieved Of caring for the nation

And every booth is well secured, and CIV

And Burchard the magic word inscribed

Though Black Jack's brow may wear a

Our chiei.ain brightly meditates a f eshcr

And says The water route. my boys, is

And woman kind and gentle ways will

For Belva Lockwood little skif is sailing

We have from those who sent us here good

And peace and quiet shall be ours until we

So We have nothing now to do but idly dozc

As pleasantly We navigate the dark Salt

In portions Of the country where
hickory, maple, and white oak abound,
little use is made Of the soft woods as
fuel. Many regard them as nearly
worthless for that purpose. in the
west where wood for fuel is scarce,
farmers have been advised to plant
hardwood trees for producing frewooi.
They have been told that hardwood is
worth twice as much as soft for heat
ing and cooking purposes, while the eE-
pense of cutting and hauling is nearly
the same. Admitting all these state
ments to be correct, it does not follow
that it is advisable to plant trees pro-
ducing hardwood if the object is to
Obtain fuel in the shortest time possi-
BILE. The maple, hickory, beech, and
white oaks are Of very slow growth.
Trees set out in ones childhood viii
not be Of very large size when the
planter reaches Old age. Most Of these
trees win not grow well except ON soils
that are very favorable to them.
Willows, poplars, and wildwood trees,
however VIII grow almost anywhere.
They are easily ~progagated by cuttings
as well as by sowing the seed. Their
growth is very rapid. Especially is
this the case with the various kinds Of
willows. They are among the first
trees to put out leaves in the spring,
and they continue to grow until heavy
frosts appear in the fall. Good fuel
can be obtained from willow trees that
have been planted ont but five or six
years. AS soon as the trunks are cut
, off sprouts viii appear, which in the
course Of a few years viii become state
~ trees. The wood is certainly not the
best. It is, however, very easily
obtained, and will prove better than
most persons suppose. The trees should
be feIed and the wood cut in suitable
lengths early enough in the season to
allow it to become thoroughly seasoned
before the approach of winter. 1t Will
dry well if the bark remains on the
wood. Many think that it dries better
if the sticks stand nearly uprlght than
if they are corded up. When dry, the
wood should be protected from the rain
and snow.

dutter on account of Il beyy Of ladies
who We're fitting about the counters
and the cane holders. After the entire
stock of walking sticks, from the
doukey-headed companion of the dude
to the majestic g~old-headcd symbol OF
age and dignity, had been handled with
various ordinations of delight the
question was then asked what Is the
best time of year for the trade -
That depends. In spring and sum
amer there is more personal, individual
purchasing done because there is more
walking done then than at any other
time. In the winter people generally
Keep their hands in their pockets and
don't care whether they ever see @ cane

holidays girls come slyly in to spend
their years savings in a present of a
dear old Cane for gran'pa, or q crowd

"No, you wont find any such desire
in those that make purchases. 1t is
only with toughs, who get the cheap 90

pressed. But I'll tell you what is done
however. Persons often have the top

to hunt it up, and found that the law

would be safer there than in his pocket.
He got 1t back finally at a cost of over
800, but he never used it to carry
anything after that but snuff. Some
time ago a doctor the pink Of respecta-

on a foreign tour and had his cane

Some Englishmen have taken a small
steamboat from the Dee to the kos.enai

landed at Montreal from the deck Of a
steamship thence il was taken Dy canal
and lakes to Duluth, where it was put
on Hat cars on the North Pacific road
and transported to Sand Point on lake
Pend d'Oreille, In order to reach it's
destination it had to be transported
over the Clarke's Fork spur of the
Rocky Mountains, a feat that required
the utmost patience and exerljru of a
large force of Indians and white men,.
1t is probably the most remarkable
journey a steamboat, great or smail,

Hanseatic Union

The "Hansan or "Uniua. of the
old German commercial centres was
created by the necessity fer common
defence against both the robfer knights
on land and pirates at sea, WHO preyed
upon the commerce of the FatherIand.
Hamburg, Ditmarsh, and IIaleln were
the first to combine in l233, and two
years afterwards Lubbock concluded a
treaty with the frst-named city to clear
their coast of the rovers by Joint mari
tine action. Other cities and states
from time to time acceded to the
League, which at the height of iJH
power could count eighty-Ilye mem
bers. Factories were estabIiShei abroad.
and the ascetic rules and military dis
cipline of the Templar Order were
borrowed for their government. One
establishment was set up in London,
and another in Boston, and it is worthy
of notice, in connection with ,Ae ever
increasing influx of German merchants
and traders in all our principal cities
and towns in recent times, that the
Hansards for a considerable period
had actually the command OF both the
import and export markets Of Eng
land. In the fourteenth century the
League grew !nUO a sUsuia.zu iJrra,
and as it ~prospered in commerce, So 1t
waXed strong in politics. 1t made
treaties, declared war, eXtortej peace,
and was not remarkable generally for
liberation and justice in its dealings
with other Powers. 1t defea'eJ aud
humbled the Kings OF Sweden and
Denmark. 1t deposed Maguus Of Nor
way, and set up his nephew, a German
Prince. in his place. In 142e It could
despatch an armada of Bis vessels,
carrying $4,000 soldiers ON board,
against Denmark, and, on the occasion,
a burgomaster of Dont2Ic, one Of the
leagued cities, declared war ON ms own
responsibility against Christian Of Den
mark.
In the reign Of OR fourth Edward,
the agents of the Hanseatic factory IN
London were msultetl by the citizens
of Chepe, who were not disposed 10 put
up any longer with the growing AFRO
gance and pretentions of the foreigners
who grew rich in their midst AID at
their expense. The Hensa promptly
declared wal against England, and
Edward, who had suffered the British
Navy to sink to a low condition, was
fain to purchase peace by couceding
even more advantageous immmitles
and privileges to these higa-h5uded
Teutons than they had previously en-
joyed. The League had its day Ike
other things, and was gradually eHtiu-
guished by the march of events in
other parts of the world. The ieal-
ousy of European Princes, the diver
gence of trade into other channels
through the discovery of America and
the Cape route to India, and the rise
OF the Dutch and British Powers, al
combined to bring about its decay. 1t
had virtually ceased TO exist long be-
fore its formal dissolution in 1880.
