A Redwood Lumber Camp.

There is something of the pictur-
esque in a redwood camp, but there is
little in the life of woodsman to
make it attractive, and only those who
are accustomed to hard work find
their way thither. The camp consists
OF half dozen or dozen rough shan
ties, each provided with sleeping
hunks, besides a cook house, which is
the imposing structure of the settle
ment. In this mansion" meals are.
served to all the workmen on the
claim, the long rough table being
abundantly supplied with wholesome
food by the company or individual
who runs" the camp. The cook
usually of the sterner sex-is the ora
Gle of the camp Next to him, per-
haps, is the OK teamster. Then come
the choppers, the sawyers, the chain
tenders, water carriers, ETC., the crews
consisting of from twenty to fifty
men. The programme of exercises is
about the same in all camps break
last at SIX; Work; dinner at twelve;
work; supper at six; smoke; 60 to
bed. Not an exciting life, but
healthful one to those who escape ac-
cident, for now and then some poor
fellow meets death between the huge
logs, or beneath some falling tree or
limb, or from flying "dog' which
slips its hold.
Breakfast Tor dinner) over, all hands
make their way up the hillside or
gulch where they have been at work
for weeks or months and where axes
and saws and jackscrews have been left
from day to day. The boss of the
camp directs operations, and the work
of destruction goes on with more sys-
tenn than one would imagine. If the
logs are very large and too heavy to
handle the anger is brought into use,
cartridges inserted and the log blast
ed, when it is dragged away in sections
to the dumping grounds. -Cassler's

American Diamond Cutters.

Diamond cutting has been carried
on successfully in the United States
since 1878. In 1889, according to the
census of 1890, there were sixteen
firms engaged in cutting diamonds,
and in Massachusetts there were three
more. Cutting has also been carried
on in Pennsylvania and Illinois, but
WAS discontinued after a time In
New York City, according to the cen
sus statistics, there are l56 men en-
ployed in diamond cutting, who re-
ceive wages that amount annually to

OF all cities of the world, Paris pre-
sents a gathering of humankind most
fearfully mixed in its elements of dis
order. The criminal brought up from
childhood in the capital will risk his
life for the privilege of living there.
Accordingly, many criminals who have
been forbidden residences in Paris, in
spite of the strictest surveillance Of
the barriers, will work their way in
again and take up their career Of crime

The Dominica Letters.

The Romans used the first eight let,
tiers of the alphabet, A to Fl, to mark
the consecutive days of their recur-
ring nundinal period. The early
Christians adopted the same plan for
marking the days of the week, drop
ping the last letter (H) as unnecessary.
In the church calendar A has always
stood for the first of January, B for
the second, ETC., on down to & for the
seventh, and then the cycle began
again with A, which would make it re-
turn on the 18th, the Odd and SO on.
Each day of the year has thus its cal
endar letter, and the letter which falls
on the first Sunday in the Dominica
Letter" of the year, February 2Sth
has always the letter G, and March
LIST, the letter D. February Doth, or
Heap day." has no letter provided for
it; and this makes a change in the
Sunday letter after February, so that
in leap year there are two dominica
letters. AS the common year contains
ffty-two weeks and one days, the do
minical letter changes from year to
year, always going backwards one
place for common year and two
places for leap years. This mode of
representing the days of the elk has
been uninterruptedly employed in the
calendar of the church throughout the
Christian world since the earliest
dates in our era. st. Louis Republic.

seats. 1t offered abundant opportu-
mites for sly nibblings of crackers
and cheese, and was the clearing
house for the gossip of the village.
When, one day, the postmaster
really did hand Tarsney letter, he wG.2
much surprised and examined 1t
doubtfully. The envelope was adj
dressed plainly enough, and bore the
New York postmark. Who in the
world could be writing him from New
York?
Tarsney went to one side and opened
the letter with mingled eagerness and
doubt, Perhaps somebody had died
and left him fortune? Stranger
things had been heard of. When he
had gained a partial understanding
of the contents, he hurriedly left the
postofice, his whole lazy body quiz
ering with excitement.
Around the corner he paused, un-
decided where to 60 to examine his
prize in secret. Then he slouched
with unaccustomed energy out of the
village into the woods, turning alb
ruptly from the beaten path as soon
as he was out of sight of any house,
and keeping on till he felt sure he was
In no danger of being seen.
He wormed his way into the midst
of thicket, and re-examined his
prize. The contents of the envelope
consisted Of neat circular, printed
in imitation of the work of type
writer, strip purporting to be a
clipping from newspaper and a small
slip bearing name and address.
Tarney read the circular carefully.
It was couched in a strain we'll calcu.
lated to fatter the vanity and whet
the greed Of the reader. After stat.
ing that the writer was DESTROYS of OBJ
tanning a shrewd man to handle his
goods, which were nowhere mentioned
as counterfeit money, but always as
goods" the circular continued:
''You can make money faster anc
easier by dealing in my goods thar
you ever dreamed of before in your
life. 1t was never intended that one
man should have millions and another
nothing. The wealth and good things
OF this world are too unevenly distrib.
uted.
"Unless you have money enough t.
live on comfortably for the rest o
your life, this is just the business yor
should take hold Of, as my goods cal
be handled with perfect safety anC
immense profits, and enable you t.
provide yourself with a competence
for your old age and pass your re
naming years in case and comfort
''There is no wrong about it-Uncl
Sam has millions of our money LOCKED
up in the Treasury, uselessly and I'm
Justly so" as.
So on went the letter to consider
able length, in way shrewdly calcu
lated to find the weak point of such
man as Lyman Tarsney. When he hat
finished reading the circular, he wa
gasping at the magnitude of the posi-
= bilities which seemed suddenly to hav
opened before him. His hand trem
bled as he turned hungrily ito tn
printed slip that accompanied the cir
cular.
1t purported to be a newspape
clipping, setting forth that, in spite o
the utmost vigilance of the officials
certain engraved plates had bee
stolen from the United States Treas
ury, from which notes exactly til
same as the genuine except that the
did not have the sanction of the Coy
ernment-were being printed by th

MORE GRESHAM DIPLOMACY.

The reinstatement OF Chief Clarence IN the
Mosquito Reservation seems to have been ac-
cOmplished by concurrent action OF the British
and American naval forces. He has been car

cienne and restored 10 his executive office
While he owes his reinstatement 10 British n-
tervenion his re-eHtry has been made with the
approval Of Captain Watson OF the Sun Fran
cisco, and presumably with the sanction OF the
State Department. Captain Watson Is reported
to have offered this explanation of this interest
ing event you will be- safe in saying that he
has come TO stay. Every one should understand
that England and the United States are not
working against each other, but, rs Minister
Baker has put II, the white people have COM
bined to meet the advances OF the Latin race "
That Is declaration Of policy which may just
ly be regarded with suspicion 1t Is hardly
credible either that Minister Baker said any
thing so undiplomatic and fantastic, or that Cap

shortened by gross intemperance. Although
English claims 10 that coast were formally re-
nounced In 1888, the Reservation remained I'M
der the rule of Mosquito kings supported by
the Governors OF Belize or Jamaica, until the
Clayton-Buwer treaty was negotiated. Then
there was a change IN form rather than In sub
