CALIFORNIA REDWOOD.

The great California redwood trees usual
iy grow on very steep land, and after saw
ing them down-a task requiring special
skill-and saving into lengths, they are
stripped of bark to reduce their size and
weight and make them slide and roll more
easily. Fires are then set which consume
this bark, together with limbs, fragments
split in fallings, etc., SO as to give q clear
surface over which, after the fires ore out,
to roll and slide the logs down hill. Instead
Of handspikes and canthooks, jackscrews
must be used to tilt and move them when
necessary to get them over sticking places.
After reaching lower ground they are hauled
endwise on roads made by laying across the
track small logs twelve or fifteen inches in
diameter, six feet apart, sunk half their
depth in the earth and we'll creased. On
such a corduroy oxen can slide the logs
easily, using one yoke for every thousand
feet of lumber. With wedges and powder,
logs six feet and upward in diameter are
split in two or more pieces to facilitate NOV
ing and saving. Wages are what at the
East would be called high, common hands
receiving from $35 to $45 per month with
board; extra choppers, sawyers, etc., $45
to $50, and Transfers $75 to 300. Nothing
is too good for them to eat, and at many of
the camps much better fare is furnished
than at hotels and boarding houses gener-
ally. But here, as elsewhere, there are no
easy places in the woods it is oil heavy,
hard work

SAW MILLS IN EUROPE.

A correspondent of the American Ep
porter, writing from Berlin says that there
appears to be good opening in southeast
ern Europe for the export of American saw.
mill machinery and steam engines. He says
that tho output of the forests of France and
Germany does not satisfy the demand. eve
know that in both those countries the policy
is rather to extend than 10 diminish the
area of the forests, no matter how tempting
may be the prices of forest products.) This
makes it necessary to draw on Austria, Hun.
gary, and even Russia. In Austria and
Hungary the mills have gained on the woods
SO that logs have to be transported SO far to
them that it does not pay. The mills which
the merchanics of Europe are prepared to
build are too heavy and costly to be car
ried to the trees. Something like our cheap
portable mills using the circular saw would
just serve the purpose, and there is no
manufacturing establishment in Europe
prepared to furnish them. The writer eau
tons those who may propose to try this
opening that the woods of central Europe
are much harder than ours, pine growing
in elevated positions often being as hard as
our oak, and their oak and other hard woods
being much more solid than ours.

Difficulty OF Procuring Mahogany.

Some idea of the difficulties of getting
mahogany Of good quality is offered by
the statements of gentleman who has ex-
plored the Honduras districts where that
choice wood is produced. 1t is necessary
to go from seven to eight miles back from
the streams to find the larger and better
trees, as former cuttings have removed
those nearer. This involves cutting q main
road through the dense jungle of under.
growth to the vicinity of the timber. Those
worth cutting are frequently as much as a
quarter of a mile apart, and this involves
making nearly that extent of branch road
for each tree. After cutting and squaring
it is hauled out on great trucks by six OF
eight yoke of cattle, to streams down which
it can be foated to seaport. The sticks are
from Is to 48 inches square. One huge tree
eight feet in diameter is mentioned, yield
ing 5000 feet of timber Labor is scarce
and high, many of the smaller operators
having gone into fruit culture, taking their
hands with them.

A SCENE ERnM11rr

A young man entered the barroom of a
village tavern, and called for a drink.
mo-" said the landlord, "you have had
delirium tremens once, aud cannot sell
you any more" He stepped aside to
make room for couple of young men
who had just entered and the landlord
waited upon them very politely. The
other had stood by silently and sullen,
and when they finished he walked up to
the landlord, and thus addressed him:
six years ago, at their age, | stood
where those young men are now-I was
man with fair prospects. Now, at the
age of twenty eight, am q wreck, body
and mind. You led me to drink. In this
room | formed the habit that has been my
ruin. Now sell me few glasses more,
and your work will be done shall soon
be out of the way; there is no hope for
me; but they can be saved. Do not sell
1t to them. Sell to me and let me die.
and the world will be rid of me; but for
heavens sake sell no more to them p
The landlord listened, pale and trembling.
Setting down his decanter he exclaimed,
"God help me, this is the last drop | will
ever sell to any one - And he kept his
word.

dish itself disappear below. Two unlucky
soldiers came in for the largest portion of
the gravy and potatoes How they would
have appreciated it, given to them in the
dish, instead of without it As it was, they

NEW HOPE AND BUCKS COUNTY, PA.

The dredge boat was taken from New
Hope to Easton, on Thursday last, in or
der to make use of it in cleaning out a
bar in the river, at the state basin lock.
The frost now shows some signs of
going way and releasing the farmers
broad domains from its grasp, but as yet
our agriculturists have not had full OPP
portunity of going deeply into their work.
The river for the past few days has
been very high, and at one time rose
rapidly, to within a short distance of
the bridge But we are used to these
spring freshets, and they have lost their
terrors. So oft has our noble old struc-
ture been in danger that we now consider
it we'll nigh invulnerable.
We are to have new wagon wheel
it seems. Col. Joseph Barbierre, of Bucks
county, has invented new wagon wheel,
that bids fair to eclipse all that has ever
been done in that line heretofore. From
its structure and composition, (beiug
made entirely of from, it is reasonable to
suppose that it will have favorable re-
ception. There are several valuable
claims as to its advantages.

MAKING UNLEAvENEp BREAD.

There are four cities in America with un-

order to supply tho demand this year the
Chicago bakery began baking two month";
before the beginning of the Passover. 1t

matzos look like ordinary bareback, except
that they are about foot square. They are
made of flour and water, and contain no
other ingredient. After the -four has been
kneaded into very stiff dough lump Of it
containing about fifty pounds is placed on
great block of wood and pressed Unto

ened to the block at one end by an iror
link and staple. This sheet is next placed
under an iron roller, from which it emergel
into long ribbon. 1t passes under an
other roller, when it is thin enough for bak-
ing. 1t is then stamped and cut into the
unbaked matzos, which are placed on q
wooden tray having long handle, and de-
posted in an oven. Three minutes later
they are taken out, white and crisp. From
the oven they are conveyed to the packing
room, where they are allowed to cool, after
which they are put up in loaves for de.
livery. During Passover week people of the
the Jewish faith eat no other bread

WHAT ALCOHOL WILL DO.

1t may seem strange, but it is neverlhe-
less true, that alcohol, regularly applied
to thrifty farmers stomach, will remove
the boards from the fence. let cattle into
his crops, kill his fruit trees, mortgage
his farm, and SOW his fields with wild
oats and thistles. 1t will take the paint
off his building, break the glass out of
the windows and fill them with rags. 1t
will take the gloss from his clothes and
the polish from his manners, snbdue his
reason, arouse his passions, bring sorrow
and disgrace upon his family, and topple
him into drunkard's grave. 1t will do
this to the artisan and the capitalist, the
matron and the maiden, as well as the
farmer; for, in its deadly enmity to the
human race, alcohol is no respecter of
persons.

April LIST, 1885.
Our Millinery Department. is now
filled with the Spring Novelties, the
latest New York styles. Orders for
trimmed work filed promptly. For
NAL opening days, Thursday, Friday
and Saturday, next week, when
we will be fully prepared to exhibit
a handsome line of the newest styles
in trimmed work, including correct
copies from Partisan Bonnets. Well
also display from our recent pur-
chases, the most handsome line of
fine Dress Goods ever shown in this
city; there's no doubt about it.
If we can prove and convince
you that our prices and facili-
ties are as good as the arguments
we advance, which we trust will be
found on a true and solid basis,
there is no reason why Philadelphia
and New York should receive a pre-
ference from our cash buyers. If
our citizens have the welfare of our
town at heart, they will patronize
our merchants every time, all things
being equal. Of course they must
be equal as to price and quality.
Now as to our stores, our facilities,
our advantages, our qualities and
our prices, don't hesitate in calling
on us, look at our goods, and hear our
quotations, whether you wish to pur-
chase or not. We illtreat you cour-
teously. Think for moment,
don't you know that there's quite
a Grand Depot in Lambertville
for Dress Goods, Family Dry
Goods, Fancy Notions and Trim
mings, Fine Millinery, Boots, Fine
Shoes and Slippers, and lastly de-
partment for Carpetings, Oil Cloths,
Window Shades, Lace and Raw
Silk Curtains, Cornices, Poles,
Chains, Rings, Hooks, &c.
A room occupying almost the en-
tire second floor of our new building,
spacious enough, if necessary, to
match up 10 carpets at one time,
lighted with glorious sky-light-
glorious because of its immense size.
and the source of its light. The
room in question is now filled with
choice designs, not only for the
Spring trade, but for the many in
the spring-time of their lives. Now
as to prices, they do not convey q
correct idea, unless the quality could
DC personally inspected at the same
time; however, we give them, COM

JOHN b. aoueu's TESTIMONY.

The other day had an attack of neu-
ralgia in the face; it was as if fingers of
fire were feeling for every nerve, and it
was so agonizng at times that grasped
the side of my face with clenched hands
and cried out. A gentleman said to me,
would you take tablespoonful of
brandy, if you knew it would relieve you
of that pain P' was not long in saying
mo" You may call that extra fanatic
ism, but would not take spoonful of
brandy to save my life. If l were to take
glass of brandy to ease me of pain, it
would injure my influence for good; and
and man who willingly does that which
will injure his influence for good among
his fellow men, hold, commits a sin.

The wax plant is now grown on large
scale In Algeria, and its product is grad
ually finding its way into the markets of
the world. Tho process of separating the
wax Is simple. The fruit, enclosed in
bag Of coarse cloth, is plunged into boil
ing water, on whose surface the substance
soon floats. The wax is of the same
chemical composition as beeswax, and is
likely to be largely used in place of it. 1t
is stated that these wax plants may be
seen growing wild in Pennsylvania and

Easter in the Churches.
st. Andrews Church was filled, both
morning and evening, with very atten tive
congregations. Beautiful growing plants
rose high above the Font, while the Altar
Cross and vases were decked with choice
white roses and lilies. The hymns and
chants were set to simple music, but very
effective, because sung heartily by choir
and congregation, alike.
The morning sermon by the Pastor,
was upon the Saviour's words to Martha,
"Thy brother shall rise again. and en-
couraged earnest and holy lives on the
part of the living, that the re- union with
departed Christian friends might be the
moro certain aud the more happy. The
preacher, in conclusion, set forth faith in
the doctrine of the Resurrection as show
ing the oneness and completeness of hu-
man life, that is not destroyed, or inter.
rupted by death, but only changed in its
form. Christ's members are to share
with Christ himself, in that experience,
which the Lord states to St. John, in the
Revelation: 81 am he that liveth, and
was dead; and behold am alive forever
more"
In the evening it was the Children's
Service. Their class banners hung upon
the walls, and their Easter carols were
bright and CHEEKY The addresses were
upon the lessons of Easter day and the
duty and privilege of making generous of
ferings to Christ. The classes, as called,
sent up their missionary offerings for the
last two months, in various colored silk
bags, and all were laid on the Altar while
an appropriate verse was sung by the
standing congregation.
Last Sunday, at the Presbyterian
Church, Rev. DIR. Studdiford preached an
able sermon appropriate to Easter. Beau
tiful flowers decorated the pulpit plat
form.
At the Baptist Church, Rev. Mr.. Wool
ston preached in the morning on the
Resurrection. and in the evening a
Young Peoples service was held. There
was a fine display of flowers, and the
choir sang several Easter songs. An
Easter Offering" was taken up, amount
ing to about $45.
