days ago at the age of 100 years.
More than forty years ago Mr.. Heal,
who had up to that time been a hard

he would never do another days work,

easily be heard a mile.

worn as pendants on the highly finished

it is quite unique and very popular.

How an old Lady Clouded the uappi-
ness Of Her Life.

The folly Of trying to cross bridges
before they are reached, says the Youths
Companion, is illustrated in the case Of
an old lady, the happiness Of whose life
had been clouded BY her habit of dwell
ling on evils to come, few Of which ever
come to pass. She became so morbid at
che time that her friends induced her to
60 on visit to her sister who lived in
distant etatc. Their hope that the
change might benefit her was disap-
pointed.

asked her sister, on the arrival Of her
visitor.

reply. "From tho time | left home

but the danger there was OF the cars

"Why, how foolish you wcre!" said
the sister lau :hingly. "You see the cars
didn't run off the track"
"Oh, but they might, Sarah, they
might l kept thinking Of that until it
seemed to me I'd jump out Of the car
window. I kept thinking all the time
how dreadful it would be to be sent
home dead and maybe all cut to pieces.
Just think of i,!'
"Why should you think Of any thing
so dreadrul?"
"Well, there's no telling what might
happen was the reply.
ibid you sleep well ?" asked her
younger sister the next morning.
"Sleep we'll l hardly closed my eyes

Tho walla Walla Journals" Views.

The Walla Walla Journal, for some
time past, has been quite silent in regard
to the union Of North Idaho with WASH
ington tor a state, evidently cndeavoring
to ascertain whether the people Of
North Idaho had changed front on the
question a. had been charged, in South
Idaho, ard in some quarters OF Washing
ton. But on reading the Palouse
Boomerang the editor became convinced
that the general sentiment Of the people
of the North remained the same as when
they all voted fer John HALEY Tor con
gress ard then he frankly comments
upon the Boomerangs article in this
wise:
This is the voice Of the Palouse City

mendaciously oppose them. Th. is what
the British tried to do, whco our fore
fathers became ware OF the sacred fact.
that they were free men. and had RICH,
to be free. 1t is thus with the people of
Northern Idaho to-day, who have to 60
through another territory and state, by
long, expensive round about route, in
order to reach their capital. The barrier
of mountains, which separates the terri
tory, is cause enough, to justify the
demand. II the capitol of Idaho was
located in Moscow or Occur 'Alene city,
Southern Idaho would demand separa-
ton at the very FIRST meeting of congress.
They would not stand the outrage OF
firing their people to 60, where they
have no earthly business. save to pay
tribute. We say, tina. yoking those
people uncquaIly together. is sin and
shame, and gross departure from tie
principles as inculcated BY the spirit #

the principles Of American citizenship,

OF every patriot, whether 10 congress or

 Electricity is very useful. Hitherto ma- chimes for felling trees have been driven by steam power, but this is sometimes incon- venient, especially in thick woods, and elec- tric power has recently been adopted in the Galician forests. Usually in such machines the trunk is sawed but in this case it is drill- ed. When the wood is of soft nature the trunk by means of cutting edges on it's sides. The drill is actuated by an electric motor mounted on carriage, which is brought up close to the tree and shackled to it. The motor is capable of turning round it's vertical axis; and the drill is gsared to it in such a manner that it can turn through an arc of a circle, and make 8 sweeping cut into the trunk. The first cut made, the drill is ad- vanced few inches, and another section of the wood removed in the same way until the trunk is half severed. It is then clamped to keep the cut from closing, and the operation continued until it would be unsafe to go on. The remainder is finished by hand-saw or an axe. The current is conveyed to the motor by insulated leads brought through the forest from generator placed in some con- venient site.
