n COULD NOT HAPPEN NOW.
II p. LANGBADGE

2te country ways had turned to street,
And long ere We were born,
4 lad and lass would chance to meet.
And often she'd neglect her task.
Tho willows bowed to nudge the brook,
The cowslips nodded gay,
And he would look and she would look,
And both would look away.
Yet each-and this is 30 absurd
Would dream about the other.
And she would never breathe word
To that good dame, her mother.
Our girls are wiser now.
Twas very quaint, twas very strange.
Extremely strange, you must allow,
Dear me how modes and customs changel
1t could not happen now.
Next day that idle, naughty lass
Would rearranse her hair,
And ponder lln, before the glass
Which bow sae ought to wear:
why do you blush like thatP'
And seldom care TO chat,
And mako her mother frown. and ask,
why do you blush like that
And now she'd haunt with 70 tsteps slow
That mead with cowslips yellow,
Down which she d met week ago
That stupid staring fellow.
Our girls are wiser now.
Twas very quaint, twas very strange.
Extremely strange, you must allow.
Dear mol how modes and customs change
1t could not happen now.
And as for him, that foolish lad,
He'd hardly close all eye,
And look SO woe-begone aud sad
He'd make his mother cry.
HE goes, she'd say, from bad to worse!
My boy so blithe and brave.
Last night I found him writing verse
About lonely gravel"
And, lol next day her nerves he shook
With laugh and song and caper:
And there shed find q golden lock
Wrapped up in tissue paper.
Our boys are wiser now.
Twas very quaint, twas very strange,
Extremely strange, you must allow.
Dear me how modes and customs changel
It could not happen now.

The line of stakes between the two
corrals was cut down to about four feet
in height, and row of stakes set slant
ing in the stock side. These were then
lined and tioored with Stats, and thus a
feed rack made in short time.
The cabin in which the cooking was
done and meals eaten was made entirely
from redwood, there being used in it
about $50 Stats, besides joists, plates,
tie beams, etc., all split from tree.
The roof was covered with "shakes"
These are made three feet long, six
inches wide and one-quarter of an inch
thick. On the roof of the cabin ID the
kitchen about 1000 was used. One side
of the cabin being cut out d fireplace was
built, the adobe for lining it being made
from the stiff black soil mixed with
water. The chimney of this fireplace
was of Stats set on end, and the wet
adobe was kept in place by lining of
redwood, which is slow to burn when
green. Besides small fire only was
needed mornings and evenings, the days
being hot.
Now that the cabin, corral, ETC., were
finished, the balance of the time could
be utilized in various ways. Out of the
trunk could be made over 200, 900 shakes,
worth $500 on the ground. or 30. 900

tionally large one-126 cords of wood
have been cut, making over Is, 900 cubic
feet of wood, and this without utilizing
much of the timber among the branches,
and very few of the branches themselves.
In the Big Basin where these notes were
made there are thousands of trees that
will measure ten feet in diameter, hum
dreds of others ranging from twelve to
fifteen feet and not few having base
of seventeen and eighteen feet. One,
"The .Goliah," is q solid tree measuring
twenty-three feet through at the ground,
twenty feet at five feet above the spread

sand Tons,

In various parts of California-and in
that State only-there are groves of the
Sequoia, or redwood, the value of which
is becoming more and more generally
known each year. Much has been written
regarding the beauty and utility of the
lumber cut from these trees, and figures
have been given to demonstrate the great
size many of them attain. And still, be-
yond the facts that there are those stand
ing through the trunks of which coach
and four is driven, others on the level
stump of which quadrilles are danced,
and others that tower 300 feet into the air.,
no description of the magnitude of the
greater number of the trees found in the
redwood forests will convey a better idea
of their actual bulk than a brief fsketch of
what was lately done with one in the
heart of the Big Basin, Santa Cruz
County, by party sent in there to fence
in large area. 81

was made. On one side an annex for
hay and grain was built twenty feet wide.
About 500 stakes were thus used, which
was about one third of the number split
out of the first cut. The next cut was
twelve feet long and was split up into
"slats" six inches wide and an inch thick.
This second cut made about as many
Stats as the first did stakes. The Stats
were nailed as a ribbon or rail all around
the two corrals, which were then nearly
finished. To complete them a gate was
made to each one, the ''swing" post to
which being hinged in primitive style.
The upper end OF this post being rounded
was passed through "fork" cut from an
oak branch, while the lower end, bluntly
sharpened, was set on On oak block slight

AN ALCOHOLIC TRANCE.

In the Quarterly Journal of Enebriety,
Dr. Crothers writes of the Alcoholic Trance
in Criminal Cases." maintaining that 'the
trance state in inebriety is a distinct brain,
condition." that ''this brain state Is one In
which all memory and consciousness Of acts
or words are suspended" and that during
this trance period crime against person or
property may be committed without any
motive or apparent plan, usually unforeseen
and unexpected" He also maintains that this
condition should be fully recognized by court
and jury, and the measure Of responsibility
and punishment suited to each case; that
''they should not be punished as criminals,
nor should they be liberated as sane men;
they should be housed and confined in hos
pita!s." This alcoholic "trance," which
makes possible the unconscious commission
Of crime, certainly involves great peril to the
community. This view makes yet more OBJ
vious the Importance Of abstinence and the
suppression Of the drink traffic, to the end
that the dangerous alcoholic ''trance" may
be avoided and prevented.-National ADJ
