THE LOGGING DISTRICTS.
Encouraging Repor $ From tho Upper
Mfseisr ippi Cnmps.

The reports from the logging districts
aye very encouraging to lumber manufac-
turers There is considerable snow in
the pineries and the weather continues
favorable for the work of skidding and
banking logs. Logging operations have
been Unusually active this winter on the
upper Mississippi, in the Wisconsin al d
Chippewa valley, on the Black river and
around Ashland and Duluth.
There is scarcely camp on the upper
Mississippi where logging has not been
run at high pressure for at leas. two
weeks, says the Mississippi Valley
Lumbermsn. There sre few
localities where more snow is de-
slrable for the prosecution of the
best possible work. In the sections
| referred TO, only four inches of snow is
| said to have fallen. but over the greater
part Of northern Minnesota from to 10
inches of snow lies in the woods. For
two weeks the weather has been such
that not particle of this has wasted.
There was never better weather for iced
roads, During the past week the Their
mometer has barely ventured 10 above
zero, and that for brief space about
noon. Some camps report the night
temperature as low as SO below zero. The
| temperature through the pine district
will average not far from 10 below.
Teams and men are still being sent into
the woods at different points where work
was begun late or where other circum-
stances have delayed operations. Yet
| speaking in general for the whole upper
Mississippi. as large force is now at
work as will operate this season. No
| very accurate estimate can be made OF
the number of feet banked daily, but it is
now not far from 1000 600 feet. II is
thought that between So and rs per cent
Of the expected cut is now on the skids.
The weather has not interfered with
logging yet. Splendid work is being done,
and the msn who is cosnting on shorts
age of logs better give up the hope.
There will be logs enough in the spring

Took Up His Bed and Walked.

The praises of the hammock have
been sung in almost every tongue
and in nearly every CLINE, but it has
been reserved for young naval ap-
prentice to make of himself a wan
dering advocate of its many comforts
and advantages.
He happened in at a noted resort
IN the Orange Mountains, when the
mercury i'm the thermometer was
coquetting with the century mark
and asked for accommodations. The
clerk informed him that the house
was even then oyercrowded and said,
Il haven't a bed to give you, if you
paid me double rates.
"Bed Bed! / don't want any bed"
returned the young tar, Il carry my
bed with me. All want is my sup
per and place to wash up in the
morning. How much?" The clerk
quoted price which was paid and
the naval apprentice disappeared into
the dining room, his bundle remain
ing in a chair under the clock just
where he put it.
After supper he sauntered forth
and spent couple of hours lounging
about the grounds, smoking, mean
while, a Queer-looking but decidedly
fragrant pipe. Then he gathered up
his bundle from the chair under the
clock aud disappeared, and was seen
no more until something after mid
night, when every one else in the
house was wandering about in the
ARREST of costumes, vainly searching
for slight breath of fresh air. Then
he was found sleeping sweetly and
comfortably in hammock swung
from the limb of fruit tree over a
carriage pathway behind the house.
He had noted the weather vane
carefully, taken his bearings as it
were and decided upon this spot
for his nights rest. 1t was about
the only place on the mountain to
which the breeze had access, and
soon dozens of weary sleepless people
surrounded him and expressed their
envy in such loud voice that he
awoke. Instantly dozen offers were
made for the hammock, but he re-
fused to part with it. Il always car
ry it," he said, land am therefore
never at a loss for the means Of en-
joying good nights rest. If | find
one place too hot, simply hunt out
another whether it be indoors or out,
and if there is any breeze stirring |
manage eventually to find out and
enjoy it,"
The next day dozens Of people were
seen writing to New York trades
men, and nearly every envelope bore
the line, Dealer in hammocks, etc. y
Mail and Express.

Rebuked.

He was new street-car conductor
running his third or fourth trip, and
he felt very smart in his new suit
and inclined to make the most OF
the authority vested in him as con-
ductor of that car. He was young
and highly susceptible to the blan-
dishments of couple of pretty shop
girls who were disposed toward a
Irritation. In the middle of the Car
sat a stout, elderly colored woman
who suddenly reached up to the bell
rope and gave it a sharp jerk.
"Will you have the kindness to let
that bell rope alone, MADAME" said
the conductor sharply.

Annulets.

Certain stones, from their magic
properties, have long been used as
amulets in different parts Of the
world. In India, the 'salagrama"
stone is supposed to possess extraor-
binary qualities. It is about the
size of billiard ball. and is believed
to be found only in the Gandaki, a
river in Nepaul. The lucky possessor
of this enchanted stone preserves it
in clean cloth, from which it is fire.

fumed. The water in which it has
been placed acquires sin-expelling
potency, and is therefore drank and
greatly priced.

son. They have remarkably large
breastbones, for the attachment of the
powerful wing muscles. 1t is reckoned
that their wings vibrate as fast as 500
times in a minute. So great an exer-
else of muscular force as is involved by
such rapid movements calls for an am
pie supply of blood, and this is provided
for by a heart of unusual size. The
actual flying speed of the humming- bird
is less than the ordinary observer might
suspect for the small size of the Great
ure adds TO the seeming rapidity of its
flight, just as the little putting tug APP
pears to move faster than the ferryboat,
though it really does not do SO.
So far as the celebration OF the head
is concerned, no other humming- bird
equals the ruby and topaz. It is the
species OF which the greatest number
are exported from South America to
Europe, for the purpose OF adjoining
hats and bonnets, for the manufacture
OF artificial flowers. etc. Hummning-
birds were great fayorites OF the

Tlln Rather.

The structure from which the rat
tlesnake takes his name--the rattle
consists mainly Of three or more
solid, horny rings, placed around the
end of the tail. These rings them
selves are merely dense portions Of
the general outer skin Of the body.
but the rattle has also q solid fOunda-
tion of bone. For the three last
bones of the tail become united to-
gether in one solid hole or core,
grooyed where the bones join, while
they increase in size toward the
hinder end Of the complex bone thus
formed. This bony core is invested
by skin also marked by grooves,
which correspond with those at the
functions of the three bones, and this
skin becomes much thickened and so
forms an incipient. imperfect rattle
of such young snakes as have not yet
cast their skins. When it is cast,
the skin investing the tail close to
its termination is not cast off, but is
held fast by the enlarged end of the
bony core before mentioned.
The piece Of skin thus retained be-
comes loose ring in front OF the in
cipient rattle and thus forms first
Joint or ring Of the future perfect
rattle. The same process is repeated
at each moult. a fresh loose ring OF
additional joint to the perfect rattle
being thus formed every time the
skin is she'd Thus the perfect rattle
comes ultimately TO consist Of num-
Der Of Cry, hard, more or less loose
horny rings, and in this way a rattle
may consist Of as many as tWenty-one
co-existing rattling rings. 1t is the
shaking of these rings by a violent
and rapid wagging OF the end Of the
snakes tail which produces the cele-
brated rafting sounds sound which
may be compared to the rafting OF a
number of peas in u rapidly shaken
paper Tag.

Tiny Warriors.

Tiny Warriors.
Notwithstanding their diminutive
size, pugnacity is one OF the most con-
spicuous traits OF humming birds. Even
king birds and the holdest hawks are
afraid of them being compelled to re-
treat before the impetuous assaults OF
the tiny warrior, whose boldness is
only equaled by the hghtning-llke
rapidity of his movements, thus bathing
any attempt at resistance on the part OF
the more powerful adversary. The
lance like thrusts of the needle-like beak
