lower end, converted a miasmatic marsh
into lovely pond, and that is how Beaver
lake came into ex lstence. On the borders
of this charming sheet of water can still be
seen the stumps of gigantic trees, where
the towering trunks have been felled and
utilized bv the beavers. One measurement
personally made of a stump, which two
beavers had handled, lone on the upper and
the other on the lower side) showed the
wonderful diameter Of 80 inches No dead
timber is touched; only live, fresh trees, 50
that the bark can bo used for food, while
the inner part goes to the dam. No waste
of time or labor here.
A friend of mine, an old hermit
hunter, living in the second
canon of the Yellowstone, once
caught two kitten beavers when they were
tiny babies. He tanned them, kept them
about his house, and made pets of them
until they grew to considerable size. One
died. but the other thrived.
Nothing was safe from that young
beaver. In the night he would gather up
boots, bottles, pieces of wood, clothing,
anything at all, and construct a sort of
dam across the floor Then, upsetting a
basin or bucket of water, the little rascal
would race across the floor in high glee and
thoroughly enjoy himself until daylight.
Instinct was stronger than training. When
the old hermit finally got tired of these
pranks and kept everything out of his way,
the youngster grew respondent and lone
some, and one night quietly took his depar-
ture to be seen no more. He probably went
back to the woods to hunt a home on some
stream or creek, where he found nature do
cidedly more to his liking than civilization.

DOWN AT SUWANNEE.
The Springs Out of Danger From the
High Water.


T. K. Leslie, one Of the proprietors Of the
Suwannee springs is in the city. He gives
a glorious account of what two weeks of
sunshine has done toward subsiding the
Suwannee river and allowing the company
to get the use of its springs again.
"For the past four months" said Mr..
Leslie, "the whole country around Su-
wannes has been submerged. The
antics of the Suwannee nave been
unprecedented and our springs have
been Of no use to us during that time. The
last two weeks, though, have brought fsir
weather and the food has abated rapidly.
Our springs are out of all danger now. Our
scheme Of prevention will DO this: As soon
as practicable we will construct high wall
around tue springs, which will prevent the
influx of river water. Within this wall.
which will take in all of the springs, will be
a small wall or reservoir. This will be put
around the spring most used for drinking
purposes, and pipes will be run from it
through all of the cottages, apd the hotel,
which is nearly completed, will be supplied
with the spring water. This will be done
by the middle OF June.
"Yes, we expect a good many people
down there in the summer. We have some
Savannahiaas at the springs now, and we
expect more of them soon.n

consequence was that every woman in

imagine, infer, that women dyed their
locks Perish the thought of charge so
crude. TIE proper term to employ fof this

"oxidizen it. Peroxide Of hydrogen is the
agent which bestows upon the locks that
bIonzy tint so greatly admired. What else
il bestows in the way Of headache aud other
