If one would see and smell and taste
the baked bean at its best, he should
go to the numbering camps in the woods
of Maine. The thousands Of brawnv
axe swingers who work all winter in
the spruce forests subsist almost en-
tirely upon pork and beans, and they
never suffer from dyspepsia OF indiges-
ton, because the cooking is perfect.
The woodsman's beans are baked in a
big iron pot in a hole in the ground.
The pot is set upon q bed Of live Goals,
surrounded and covered with more
Goals, and then the hole is filled in with
earth, as though the savory mess were
to remain buried for good and all. The
camp cook knows when to dig the pot
out, however, and when he does he
brings forth baked beans such as the
town of Boston never dreamed of.

whereby all the stock for the con
struction of railroad from Sioux
Falls to the Pacific ocean will he
placed and the work of construction
he begun early in the spring. The
road will be an important one to the
great Northwest. 1t will run through
Wyoming, Idaho and the central
part of Oregon, where, on the Pacific
ocean, it will connect with line Of
ships for the Orient. In Idaho it will
have a connection for the South by
the Utah aud Northern, aud tho peo-
pie of Utah Territory will have one
more rival line for tho East. At
Sioux Falls it will find outlets for the
East over the Illinois Central, the
Chicago & Northwestern, and the
Chicago, Milwaukee, s. st. Paul, he
sides the Minneapolis aud Manltaba
lines for the Eis, via thu great lakes.
The construction of this line contem
plates the development of rich MIN
eral, coal, agricultural and grazing
country, and it is therefore an i'm

at large. 1t was conceived by Sena-
tor Pettigrew, who is one of the most

The Horse-Haired SNAKE"

The ''horse-hairn snake is common
source of error. The creature that
is usually called by that name origin
ates and has life history as follows:
A small fesh-colored mite is in water.
1t changes to a purplish lead color and
comes to the top of the water, where it
sports for a time, and when looking
across water of a still evening, especial
" if looking toward the setting sun,
one can see masses of these tiny Great
ures that look like smoke on the water.
When they reach this stage of develop
ment they leave the waterand get out
on the leaves and grass. Here, as op-
portunity offers, they attach them
selves to the feet of large insects
especially of grasshoppers, katydids,
etc. The legs of these insects being
hollow they crawl up them, where they
grow till they fill the legs and some
times the cavities of the bodies of these
large insects.
This accounts for the fat, clumsy
condition of many of these insects.
After a rain in which the insects drown
the full-fedged ''horse-hair snakes
J come forth to delight the small boy
and to interest the student of nature,
after which they lay eggsin the water
if it does not dry up too soon, ano
curl around them for time, and abou
the time the eggs hatch into the little
fesh-eolored mites first described thu
"snakes" die.

The Timber of Maine.

Five hundred million feet of logs are
cut in the State of Maine annually.
The name Pine Tree State was acqufr-
ed years ago, but Spruce Tree State
would now be more appropriate. Al
though shere are millins of pine yet
standing, the palmy days of that tree,
in commercial sense, long since de-
parted, and the spruce, prolific and
hardy, is the mainstay of the lumber
trade. Whatever the case may be in
other States Maine has nothing to fear
from the denudation of her uplands.
The spruce is prolific tree, renewing
its growth in few years, thus filling
up the gaps made by the lumberman's
ak, and soon producing a second
growth or aftermath. Many townships
on the Penobscot have been numbered
over twice and some three times, while
in Hancock county there is more tim
Der standing to-day than there was
twenty years ago.

A GoId-Slug Worker.

''This thing of trying to crowd big
gold pieces onto street-car conductors
by people who hope to ride free be-
cause the conductors can't always
give the proper change reminds me
how that kind of a game used to be
worked in early days" said Capt.
George H, Mcbride of Portland to a
San Francisco Examiner man.
.'Old man Applegate lived on the
road between Oregon and California in
those days, and just for accommoda-
ton he would provide meals and lodg=
ings for such travellers as CHANGED to
travel his way. 1t was an annoy
ing custom with q certain class OF
stock dealers who frequently went
over the road to offer $50 slug in pay
ment for a nights entertainment, and
if the change could not be given they
would settle in full next time they
stopped.
Zone day fellow whom Uncle Ap-
plegate had spotted offered a slug in
the usual way, saying he was sorry
but really that was the smallest coin
he had about him.
"sI'm sorry, too" replied the host,
for haven't a bit of change in the
house.
"Oh, never mind, replied the guest,
III hand it to you as come back"
"'But maybe I'll never see you
again. suggested Applegate, ignoring
the hand outstretched for the eight
cornered coin.
"'Yes, you will. I'll be along here
in about a week. said the other.
."Oh, well. in that case I'll just keel
the slug, and when you come back III
have the change for YOU, replied the
old gentleman, and putting the piec'
in his pocket he bade the strange
good morning, with best wishes for
prosperous journey and a safe return
