AXES AND AxEMEN.
tho Once Numerous Race of Choppers and
Hewers Dying Out.

TAo once Numerous Race of Choppers and
Hewers Dying Out.
"Ah! it was something to be good
axeman fifty years ago." said gray.
haired gentleman, as he faced an array
OF axes in Lake street establishment.
"But the race of choppers and hewers
is dying out, giving place to modern
methods. Many is the sharp contest
have witnessed in pioneer communities
for the distinction OF being called best
axeman.' I've chopped a bit myself"
he added in a meditative way, as he
rubbed a polished poll against his cheek.
"When some great timbers are wanted
which must be true in every line and
cut with the grain long search has
to be made to find competent broad
axeman. When he is found he is al
ways an old man, and his skill, his
truth of hand and eye, and the long,
thin shavings that fall from the broad
edge OF his axe, as from a plane, are
wonderful to the young generation of
artisans. The old broad axeman is q
link between old methods and new.
"Small men make the best choppers
as a rule. Their superior skill more
than compensates for the greater
strength of big men. A true eve and
the ability to strike each alternate blow
in precisely the same place, coupled
with great endurance, are the requisites
OF good chopper. The expert axeman
looks as closely to the length, shape
and bevel of his blade, the form of the
helve and poll, and the weight of the
axe as the fencer to his foil. The weight
OF the axe is a matter Of preference for
the individual. Not so much with the
shape of the axe. If the object be to
cut small timber, which may be severed
with from one to half dozen blows, an
axe with long, thin blade and as little
bevel as compatible with strength is
chosen, and at every stroke the blade IS
buried to the helve. If it is intended to
fell large trees or cut large timber this
axe would bite deeply at each stroke,
but the cnip would remain in the log
after the incson was made and would
require more blows for its dislodgment
than for its formation. Therefore for
this purpose the axeman picks out an
axe having thick blade with sharp
bevel, which acts as wedge and forces
out the chips at the same stroke which
makes the incsion. Of course this axe
will not cut as deeply into the wood at
each blow as the thinner-bla ded one.
"Your true axeman despises double
bitted axe, and for good reason. The
poll is necessary to give the blade the
proper force and direction. These
machine-made handles are an abomin-
alton. A bad helve doubles the strain
on the chopper and soon wears him out.
No good chopper wants any one to
make his handle for him. He has his
ideas about size, length and flexibility,
and you had just as well talk about p
common pattern in false teeth as in axe
handles. Is it not funny that in this age
OF inventions no one has improved on
the axe of our grandfathersp The only
difference between those now sold and
the ones made one hundred years ago is
that the hammer marks are now ground
out and little better polish put on"

DOMESTIC CATTLE,
valuable Scientific Facts Relating to the
Origin of the British Breeds

Valuable Scientific Facts Relating to the
Origin of the British Breeds.
Prof. Boyd Dawkins, as the result of
his investigations as to the origin of
British breeds of cattle, believes the two
principal stocks from which all the
breeds are descended are undoubtedly
% the Urus, an animal wild in the
forests of Europe later than the days of
Charles the Great, and which is be-
heved to have been extinct in the Brit.
lsh Isles; (2) the Bos longifrons, or
"small Celtic Short-Horn, an animal
which never was aborignally wild in
Europe. Both were probably domesti-
Gated in Asia, and both made their an
pearance together in the Neolithic age,
IN the possession of those who lived on
the wooden plat orms and artificial
islands in the Swiss lakes. The remains
OF the latter are, he says, to be found
all over Europe in refuse heaps belong
ing to various periods, from the Neo-
lithic age down to within the historical
period. 1t is the only domestic OK
which he has met with in the large
number of refuse heaps in the British
Isles, ranging from the neolithic age
down to the time of the Engl sh invasion,
and is represented by the present High
land cattle, small Welsh and small Irish
cattle.
The first, or the Urus stock, preserved
to Great Britain almost in its aboriginal
purity in the so-called wild cattle of
Chillingham, he has been unable to
trace further back than the invasion of
Britain by The English and of Ireland
by the Scandinavians. As the evidence
stands, it was unknown in these islands
as domesticated animal before this
time.
The present breeds are, in the opinion
OF Prof. Hawkins. descended from the
two stocks, and are the result of cross
ing and selection. The poled cattle
are considered to be the result of selec-
ton in which advantage has been taken
OF tendency to revert to an ancestral
hornless type, probably as far back as the
Miocene age. He would expect to meet
with them from time to time in everv
breed, just as from tine to time horse
is born with three toes, which have been
derived from his remote Miocene an
cestor, the Anchiterium. On this point
1t is interesting to note the polled skull
OF Bos etruscus in the Florence
museum, belonging to fossil species,
unusually horned, living along with ex-
tinct elephants and rhinoceroses and
other animals in the pla ms of Lom-
hardy, in the Nal d. Arno. Lord Sell
kinks letter to Prof. Dawkins shows
how the horns were bred out of the
Galloways, and his version is confirmed
by the independent evidence collected by
Youatt. The Galloways, however, he
says, were not the only polled cattle in
Britain, although they were the ances-
tors OF those of the Norfolk and Suf-
folk breeds. The Gisburne cattle, now
extinct, but of which there is speci-
men in the museum at Owens College,
were polled, being in other respects
identical with the Chillingham. 1t is,
however, smaller. The Gisburne polled
cattle became extinct in 1859, and the
skull of the last bull is in the museum.

Card Playing Girls.

There are so many ways in which girls
can be amusing, entertaining and useful
to themselves and others that it seems
great pity that any Of them should re-
sort to the common vices of coarse men.
That they do so in the evening enter
tainments of private and elegant homes,
and at the most fashionable summer re-
sorts appears to be beyond question. Aud
that the results will appear in unlocked
for demOralizations in the future of what
is called good society may be set down
as among the certainties Of natural law.
Young ladies may not be expressly sus-
ceptible to such prOsy moral arguments.
but they should not forget that the young
men who gamble with them, and who
appear to enjoy the fun, lose their respect
for young ladies in the exact measure
that the latter cease to be governed by
fine womanly feelings and standards of
character. Men may laugh at the
shrewdness Of girl in game OF
cards for stakes, but she Is not the girl
they will trust or honor or that they
care to marry. That is an argument to
the quick, and may find its way home.

No Matter How Colby the
Rough River RAMA Girl
Ruined and Deserted
Seeks Death.

Tnrequited love, despair and social
ruin drove Isabella Gilroan not unat-
tractive young girl to seek death at 2:3O
o'clock yesterday afternoon. Four years
ago Isa ELLA formed the acquaintance Of
young man named Cohen Baumgarden.
Each conceived an affection for the
other, which ripened into love which
proved the girls ruin. She was then but
10 years Of age, artless and innocent, and
she fell willing victim to the wiles Of
her false lover.
Baumgarden kept her company for
about three years, but then he tired OF
her and cast her from him as wayward
child would toy. She still chung to
him and sought to win him back, but
she was pOwerless. She had lost the
charm which alone could bring him to
her feet. Finding all her efforts fruit
less the girl determined to forget him
il possible, and though she mourned sim
cerely she gave no outward token Of the
grief she experienced.
Instead Of time healing the heart it
seemed only to aggravate the wound and
Isabella ut length became desperate and

length, and in utter despair she deter

and aye in he riv,r.
She resides at the corner of Harmony
and Fulton streets, and at about O'Clock
yesterday afternoon she left her home.
She made her way towards the river in
the Sixth District and at about 2:3O
o'clock she reached the head of Upper
line street. She proceeded to the ferry
landing there. and without making
any preparation threw herself into the
river.
