The falling of a big tree under the
Woodlands AK is always an impressive
sight--and an impressive sound-as
all country bred readers will testify.
The historian of the "Seyenty-ninth
Highlanders, Of New York, describes
the cutting down of a whole hillside
of trees under circumstances that must
have made it a memorable spectacle.
1t was during the advance of the
Army of the Potomac after the defeat
al Bull Run Notifications were or
dered thrown up, and the men of the
Maine and Wisconsin regiments were
set to worl, at tree telling, work with
which they proved themselves perfect
ly familiar.
1t was an interesting sight to witness
the simultaneous fall of a whole hill
side of timber.
The choppers began at the foot of
the hill, the line extending for per-
haps half a mile They cut only part
way through the tree, and in this way
worked up TO the crest, leaving the
trees in the top row in such condition
that single blow would bring them
down. 2
Then, when all was ready, the bugle
sounded, and the last strokes were
given. Down came tie upper tier of
trees. These brought down those be-
low them, and, like the billow on the
surface Of the ocean, the entire forest
fell with crash like mighty thunder.

Tho Drug Clerks Complaint.

An all night clerk: There is one
thing you ought to take into consider
alton when you talk about us-we
have never struck. / read that state
ment of one of the proprietors that he
could go out in the street and whistle
and get all the clerks he wanted. 1
don't doubt it. But fancy that if you
were sick you would rather not have
your medicine put up by clerk who
had been whistled in like dog. And
there is another fact about drug clerks
they are about the only clerks that
1 know of who have not some sort Of
protective union. Do you know why
that ISL You never saw a drug clerk
in your life who didn't expect that
at some time or other he would have q
store Of his own.
This is not true of all clerks in other
lines of business. The drug clerk must
therefore take as much interest in his
employers business as the employer
himself. The clerk knows that his
employer is doing well. 1 need not
tell you that there is money in the drug
business. The clerk wants to get where
the employer is, some day And when
he does he will make his clerk work as
long as he works now. Now, if the
carpenters and other fellows would
take this bit of policy or philosophy or
whatever you choose to call it, and APP
ply it tothcir cases there wouldn't be
so much kicking. The cold fact is

the ladder that will help us get to the

An Honest Man.

At one of DR. John NJ. Wietins's lee
lures in Boston he saw in the audience
tall, lank, awkward looking man.,
who soon after turned up at a lecture
in Philadelphia, made himself known
to DR.. Wieting, and requested loan OF
81, 900 with which to go to California
it was in the gold fever times-agreeins
to send the doctor half his earnings
The doctor consented. After while
came 81, 900 back, and then in differ
ent installments 1900 more, where
upon the doctor cried: "Holdw but the
stranger wrote that he did not propose
to break his bond.
Soon, however, he wrote requesting a
fresh loan of $4,000. The doctors
friends protested that the SO, 600 was
only decoy, and that if the doctor
sent the $4,000 he would never hear Of
it again Nevertheless, he sent the
money, and there was an awful pause;
but after time the returns began, and
finally mounted up to $50, after
which the honest man was never heard
of more.-San Francisco Argonaut.

secret of Sleep Is Regularity

The experience of night worker
has led to some philosophical and logi-
cal conclusions. 1t seems that his
duties were of a nature to keep him
awake until the. JOY and freshness and
exhilaration of the dawn banished all
desire for sleep. He. tried, to read him
self to sleep, to count himself to sleep,
to think himself to sleep, and to use
a little Christian science and imagine
he was asleep, all to no purpose. He
DETECTED his eyes downward until he
was nearly crosseyed. He darkened
the room, and he dimly lighted it. lie
put his poor head on the pillow and
under the pillow, OH the lounge and ON
the floor. He tried and wore out every
sleep producing drug known. Finally
he became really i'll, and was bundled
of to the country to recuperate.
He went to bed at 10 o'clock because
every one else did He rose at 7 for
the same reason, when 10! the desired
cure was brought about when be least
expected it. After little he went to
sleep and wakened with the regularity
of clockwork. In accordance with
his experience he advises every one to
90 to bed at a certain hour every night,
whether they are sleepy or not, and to
arise at certain hour in the morning,
whether they feel refreshed and wake
full or not. Nature is a creature OF
habit, and after his narrowing expert
ence with drugs and nostums he has
decided that nature is the only physi-
cian who can cure insomnia

After desperate struggle fol-
life he recovered and joined his
regiment. Atthe battle of Monaccasie
creek he was again wounded, the ball
entering between the corresponding
ribs on the other side of his spine and
issuing from the same hole that the
first ball entered at. The second shot
must have taken the passage inside
Muncie's body that the first ball made
in going in the opposite direction. he
was in prison with me later and ap-
peared to suffer no unusual pain. -

Sill Waiting for The BOY.

A sad reminder of the great blizzard
is the mental condition of New York
man living III the fashionable part of
Lexington avenue not far from Thirty
seventh streetlThis man had an only
son, who went out in boat the day
before the blizzard came for a sail
down the bay. The boat was never
heard of after that and the young
man very probably was lost Yet the
father did not lose hope. Day after
day he waited for news of his sons
rescue Ho hoped that sol 0 vessel
had picked the little boat u or that
by some other means the B VS. life
was saved.
The body not having been found the
man could not believe the boy dead.
For weeks he waited to hear some
news, but none came. Under the load
of grief his mind almost gave way,
and to this day the old man, whose
mind is now almost wreck, expects
at the least noise in the block to hear
that his son has been found.
If there is sound of hurrying feet
on the pavement outside he will get up
to see if there is not messenger boy
coming With news from his son. All
through the night he awalSes at the
slightest noise, and his first inquiry
is whether the news of his sons rescue
has come.-Cor. Baltimore American.

The Tririd Bostonian.

1t would be pleasant if Boston men
displayed trille more cordially to
each other when they meet in society.
1t is only too apt to be the case that
intimate friends will meet in draw
ing room with hardly a nod of recog-
milton. So intent are the men on max
ing a good impression on the hostess
or any other women who may be pres
emf that they ignore, perhaps uncon-
sciously, their male friends. Ii they
knew how i'll bred such conduct APP
pears TO strangers, they would try to
reform it. There Is every reason why
men who move in the same circle and
meet each other constantly should greet
each other with civility in society.
Even when there may be enmity be-
tween them nod and a decent recog-
milton are demanded by the usage OF
polite life. To cause q scene or to al
low the hostess to feel that there is
anything uncomfortable in the air is a
breach Of good breeding.-Boston Sat

There is no doubt that fish, particu-
