On sbips, Beds,

The Arundel Castle is the finest boat
I have seen in these seas. She is thor
oughly modern, and that statement COW
ers a great deal of ground. She has the
usual defect, the common defect, the
universal defect, the defect that has
never been missing from any ship that
ever sailed-she has imperfect beds.
Many ships have good beds, but no ship
has very good ones In the matter of
beds all ships have been badly edited,
ignorantly edited, from the beginning.
The selection of the beds is given to
some hearty, strong backed, self made
man, when it ought to be given to a
frail woman accustomed from girlhood
to backaches and insomnia. Nothing is
SO rare on either side of the ocean as a
perfect bed; nothing is so difficult to
make. Some of the hotels on both sides
provide it, but no ship ever does or ever

SAVING UP A LOG.
How Planks Are Cut Into Shape In a
Great Western SawmiIl.

How Planks Are Cut Into Shape In a
Great Western SawmiIl.
W. S. HARDWOOD contributes "The
Story of Pine Board to ST. Nicholas.
After telling of the cutting down of the
tree and its progress from the forest to
the mill Mr. Harwood says:
Up from the yellowish brown depths
of the slow moving river flowing SO
steadily on its way to the sea comes a
huge, dark brown thing with shining,
dripping coat. 1t is our log, entering
upon its last stage. 1t passes at once up
a long incline called the "slit''-a
trench of wood about eight inches deep
and two feet wide at the top, SO hol-
lowed out that the largest log will lie
in it securely as it is being drawn up
the incline by the stout chains with
which the slit is equipped. Projecting
pieces of steel on this chain serve to
keep the log steady, its great weight,
causing it to sink upon these pieces Of
steel, which are like sharp teeth. A
workman, standing at the side of the
slit, by means of lever throws up two
powerful steel pointed arms, which lift
the logs out of the slit and throw them
upon tables, from which they are rolled
down to the carriage which leads to the
saws. When the log reaches the car
riage, it is thrown upon the framework
by the "nigger"-a long, ratcheted tim
Der or piece of steel. This framework is
like section of an ordinary fat car
running on regular railroad track.
Two men stand on the moving carriage
and at signal from the head sawyer,
who directs the cutting Of the log, reg
ulate the thickness of the plank or board
by the levers Of the carriage.
When the log has been adjusted, it
rapidly advances to the saw, and in a
very few seconds its water soaked sides
have been trimmed by the sharp teeth.
The carriage flies back to the starting
place with the swiftness of the wind,
and it is enough to make one shudder to
see it go. You expect every instant that
one of the men will be thrown off and
terribly injured.- FL f11e.y learn to balance
themselves, however, though there are
frequent accidents One instant of mat
tention on the part Of the head sawyer,
who regulates the speed of the carriage
by his lever, would send the carriage
flying back to the end of the mill with
tremendous force and probably kill both
of the men. One of the men on the car
riage, called the SETTER fixes the
width of the board to be sawed on sig
nal from the head sawyer; the other
man is the second sawyer.
AS / stood one day in one of these
mills, watching the men flying forth
and back on the narrow carriage, and
almost expecting that one or both of
them would be thrown off in the swift
ness of their flight, l took out my watch
and timed them, and found that they
travelled on an average on this little
railroad not more than 20 feet long,
16S, 900 feet day, or aboutt31 miles

OUR OWN.

II had known in the morning
How wearily all the day
The words unkind would trouble my mind
That said when you went away,

Nor given you needless pain,
But we vex our own with look and tone

Fol though in the quiet evening
You may give me the kiss of peace,
Yet it well might be that never for me
The pain of the heart should ceasel
How many go forth at morning
Who never come home at night
And hearts have broken for harsh words
spoken
That sorrow can ne'er set right.
We have careful thought for the stranger
And smiles for the some time guest,
But oft for our own the bitter tone,
Though we love our own the best

All, brow with the shade of scorn,

ing with good nature and wreathed in
smiles of anticipatory pleasure. He look
ed so ioyously into the face of the lady
that she, too, could not help but smile
at him, whereupon he held the possum
up aloft and said, GOOD eatin, missy,

centration began with: "Now, don't
