PUGET SOUND FORESTS.
Some of the Queer Ways OF Pacific Coast
Wood Choppers

SUMO Oh inc queer ways OF racine COAST
WOod-Choppera
The height of the stumps in the log
ging regions of the Sound puzzles the
new conner. 1t is from five to fifteen
feet from the ground to where the
wOodman has piled his axe. One can
readily understand why it was ex-
pedient to cut above the bulging
knees at the base of the tree. But
why did the chopper go, in SO many
cases, three Or four times as high as
was necessary? Ex-Governor Semple,
who has at his tongues end the ex-
PLANTATION for more strange things in
Washington than has any other man,
tells how this happened. To get
above the bulging base of the tree the
choppers had to have something to
stand on. Instead of taking a chair
or step-ladder or platform, they
cut notches in the tree, put in mar
row spring-board with clamp, ball
anced themselves upon that, and piled
the axe. They were ambidextrous
They chopped on one side and then
on the other. Throwing down" or
telling these big trees, as it is called,
became an art. The choppers began
by putting in their spring boards
three or four feet from the ground.
That was enough to avoid the butt. It
was daring work to begin with. 1t
was still more risky to go little
higher from the ground. Rivalry
sent the choppers up and up, until
often they would stand as high as fif-
teen feet from the ground to chop. AT
twenty feet the owners of the trees
protested. They could not afford to
throw away more than one sixteen
foot log to let the choppers risk their
necks in trying to outdo each other
in what was foolish daring. In these
latter days the saw is taking the place
of the axe, and the new stumps are
of more reasonable height.
The theory of the ex-Governor's
was repeated interrogatively to a
lumberman. He laughed and declined
to confirm or deny it. But he told
story. Said he:
"A friend of mine vas out here some
time ago, and he walked through the
timber eyeing these stumps pretty
closely, as if he was trying to make
out why they were cut so high. All
at once light seemed to dawn upon
him. He turned to me and said: 4
thought you told me you didn't have
any snow On the Sound? Look at
those stumps. See where the men
were standing when they cut all this
timber. Oh! no! You don't have any
snow, do you?'" = Cor. st. Louis I.

Some Royal Civil Lists.

The people of the United States
have, generally speaking. but vague
idea of what 1t annually costs The peo-
pie Of Europe to maintain their re-
spective sovereigns. The German En-
peror heads the list with yearly
stipend of AZ, ,000,0 of francs, which
means, in other words, that every
man, woman and child of 1900, 600
OF Germans who inhabit the Father
land must pay an annual tribute Of
about Is cents to sustain the dignity
of the imperial crown. The Gar of
Russia comes next, with q civil list of
Sc, 900. 900 francs. or a head taxation
of nearly cents for each one of his
81, 100000 OF subjects. The Emperor
of Austria, who rules over IL. 900, 900
of people. has an annual income of
90. 900. 600 francs, raised by means of
an individual personal taxation of 81
cents Queen Victoria receives from
the 37,000.000 of people which COM
prise the population of the United
Kingdom a royal tribute of 10 cents
per head, or $3,700,0OO = United

Ohsetting Ideas.

The English anti-sutfrage women
have done good service by calling out
much comment. The Salem Observer
says: '1n England the cause of woman
suffrage has in some respects made
greater advances than in this country
Its opponents are in their last ditch, so
to speak, and the contest for impartial
privileges is well on towards success"
The opponents say: Suffrage should
not be forced upon women" To this
very proper sentiment nearly every
body will agree. We certainly do not
know OF any advocate of woman suf-
frage who could dissent from it. SUI
frage should not be forced upon women.
neither should it be forced upon men.
In this respect there should be equality
of exemption as between the sexes.
Suffrage should not be forced upon
women who DO not want it. Good.
Now, again. suffrage should not be
withheld from women who do want it.
Good also. One idea is as good as the
other, and both almost exhaust the
subject But not quite, for, after all,
there are political duties as well as
rights; and every man ought to be
willing to help a good government by
casting his vote for good men, SO wom-
en- should be expected to take their
share of their great responsibility. One
of these days they will see it in this
light Journal.

the creek with friend just at night
fall The little brook had dwindled
down to a mere stream. a foot or SO
wide, and as we stepped over it was
seen to be black with eels. My COM
panion inadvertently stepped in among
them, and at the instant the living
river broke and a remarkable stam-
pede occurred. Hundreds of forms,
ranging from two to three or more
feet in length. broke away and dashed
over the dry but slippery beach. coy-
ering it in every direction with a
wriggling mass of eel life. The terri
fed animals dashed up towards the
shore and in every direction, though
ultimately turning and making for
the distant water. Some of them
traversed, to reach it, over three
hundred feet of dry land.
Among all animals the feeling OF
alarm and sudden terror is liable to
have the same result-a wild break, a
rushing this way and that; even among
men it is not uncommon. In every
war sudden surprises have resulted in
stampede. where hundreds of men.
ordinarily brave, have rushed head
long to escape the supposed Or actual
danger, stampeded just as they might
if they were sea-lions or buffalo. &C.
