''To return to our original subject"
said Mr.. Palmer, in conclusion, ''the
sight which was viewed by the first
man who entered the Dismal Swamp
by way of Lake Drummond must have
been one of the most beautiful which
nature has shown to man. As is evil
dent from the stumps to be found cir.
cling the lake, the entire lake was
lined with forest of enormous and
beautiful expresses, eight, ten and
fourteen feet in diameter. The
branches intermingled in an impene-
trable mass, and, covered with tropi-
cal moss and foliage, the scene in all
its silent grandeur was the most stu
pendous spectacles of Gods nature I
can possibly imagine"

There are many other parts of western Maine, also, where the industry is iln- portant. There arc numerous sawmills in that part of the state which are kept busy all the year round saving white birch logs into strips 1 feet long and from to 9 inches wide and of the same thickness These strips are sent to the spool factories, where they are quickly worked into spools by the most ingen- ious labor saving machinery.

 Did you ever notice, said a veteran tonsorial artist. who had shaved New Haveners since 1873. to New Haven Register man, that you only see a few old barbers?'
 Why is it?''
 There are 8 good many reasons, !" answered the veteran knight of the blade. T suppose the chief one is that a barber's hand becomes unsteady after he gets to be about 40 years old and he has to give up A good many barbers drink hard, and that makes their nerves and hands unfit for service, and they retire before they cut their customers threats Still, l will say that in all my experience of 37 years I never saw 6 man badly cut by barber, not even by an accident for which the barber was not responsible. "
 What becomes of the barbers after they retire?'
 Oh, some of them go to the poor house" he replied, with twinkle in his eye, land some of them; who have saved their wages, buy little places and live on them, perhaps running a farm. Some of them, of course, go into other business, perhaps Bookselling or else be- come insurance agents. I have heard of barbers whs gave up tho business ans became butaa8rs This isn t such wide difference tsom their former business (what are ySsa laughing at?) as it mighs seem. No, Cont mean that they learR to carve pss@le or even to skin them fs the barber sasiness, but they learn hos to handle blade sl1ilIfully and they make first class meat cutters "

 It always takes two walters to servs glass of abginth.

He carefully places the perforated spoon across the top of the glass. On the spoon he bal anees, with careful nicety, @ block of sugar and gently pours small quantity of ice water over tho sugar into the glass. This done, he once more grasps his cane with both hands and apparent. ly forgets all about the beverage before him. The sugar slowly melts drop by drop into the glass; through tue per. forations of the spoon.

 In Human Affairs.
 The rowels of natures most powerful spur, hunger, are continually reddenipg Che Hanks of tho primitive community Tho apostle's seathing arraignment of thi Cretans, "whose god is their holly, would literally apply to every savage tribe and many civilized one. Hunger Is one of the mainsprings of progress. At it's im- peratiye command tho flint was ohipped into the arrowhead, the dart, the spear. in it's honor the net was woven, the hoe was made and the soil broken. To appease it's cravings tho wild bull Is broken to the yoke, tho forests arc felled, the ditch tk dug through the marsh.
 On it's errands the ship is launched on tho perilous deep and tho band sent out upon the warpath. Into it's service have been impressed the winds Of heaven, the steam wrenths of the oaldron and the gilt tering shafts of the lightning. It is the real Aladainas lamp of civilization. The oeaseiess westward flow of tho human stream and the march of the star of em- piren have been at the bshest of it's genii.
