eyed it critically from various points of

foot above the top of the dead golden
rod in the snow. He was an under
cutter, a man whose business it is to
cut into the tree on the side on which
It should fall, so that it may not be
broken in the fall, or lodge in the crotch
of another tree. The cut on the side
of the tree is the guide for the saw
yers.
The other men, bearing big saw,
began cutting down the pine, saving
steadily and powerfully through the
fragrant yellowish-white trunk. Now
and then the under-cutter would step
up to them and see how they were
progressing. When their saw had
passed the heart of the pine he placed a
small, bright steel wedge in the path
ofsthe saw, and drove it in.
"Look out, there, now!" came the
call of the under-cutter as he looked
in my direction.

times veer little in its fall, and woe

Mr.. Harwood says:
/ had my eye on grand old pine
standing little away from any of his
fellows, monarch in the forest. 1t
must have been 140 feet, perhaps more,
from the topmost point in its glossy
green coronal down to the dead golden
rod in the snow at its base. 1t was
about three feet in diameter at the
ground, so tall, so strong, so straight,
noble tree indeed, in very truth a
king of the forest. 1t was the result
of the life which dwelt in the tiny
black, winged seed which was lost to
view more than century and half
before.
While was admiring the splendid
proportions of the tree, three men came
toward me. One was bright-eyed fell

skin, looking like one of the Chippewa

ries. He looked the tree over sharp

Tnllest Of Trees.

In New South Wales, Victoria and
Tasmania grows a species of gum tree
Eucalyptus amygdalina is its scien-
tific name-which, Sir +. Won Mueller
says, probably represents "the tallest
of all trees of the globe" The loftiest
specimen of this tree yet measured tow
ers to the height of All feet. A pros
trate tree, measured in Victoria, was
420 feet long, and the distance from the
roots to the lowest branch was 295
feet. At that point the trunk was four
feet in diameter, and 800 feet from the
butt the diameter was still three feet.
The wood of this tree is hard and Of
good quality, II grows quickly, and
yields great quantity of volatile oil
from its leaves. which are very abun-
dant.-Youth's Companion.

ANlMALs lN WARFARE.
The Use of Elephants, RhinOcerOSes,
Camels and Sharks.

Camela and sharks.
The armor worn by war elephants
during the time of the old Mogul en-
pire was often magnificent, being
mass of steel, iron and silver. To the
long, white tusks, which were covered
with chains, were lashed sharp swords
or sabers, forming an armament well
calculated to demoralize an opposing
force. The sultan Mamood equipped his
elephants with bastions which were
filed with men armed with crossbows
and spears. To the tusks of the animals
poisoned daggers were attached. This
sultan had band of rhinoceroses in his
army which were supposed to be used
in demoralizing foe, though the dam
ger of their playing havoc with their
own forces was equally great.
The cheetah was formerly employed
in the east as an adjunct of war, bands
Of them being released and trained to
bound along and tear down the enemy
as they are now known to kill the fleet
est antelope.
The French and English, in their
campaigns in Africa and Asia, have em-
ployed camels, and the French service
to-day possesses camel corps, small
guns being mounted on their backs. One
company was served with Gatling guns
of light caliber. The Arabs have long
employed the camel in war, corps Of
these animals mounted with native
sharpshooters, with their long guns and
the gay colors of their robes, presenting
an attractive appearance.
Even the ostrich has been suggested
as war animal. 1t was found that
they can carry theirride and develop
marvellous speed, but they are very un-
certain, and quite as liable to turn and
retreat at the wrong time as to ad-
vance, so that the ostrich corps exists
in theory more than in practice.
The value of the horse and mule in all
army operations can hardly be estimat-
ed. Mules have been mounted with
small cannon or rapid-fring guns in an
emergency, but the eccentric character
of the animal renders the service more
than uncertain.
During the war between the north
and the south huge shark was unin-
tentionally drawn into the service. At
one time there were nearly 1000 pris-
oners in the Dry Tortugas prison, which
was surrounded by ditch about 100
feet wide and half mile long. Prison
ers often attempted to escape by lower
ing themselves into it, and in several
instances were drowned. One day a
live shark was placed in the moat by a
naturalist for experimental purposes,
and while it was perfectly harmless, the
shark effectually put a stop to the at
tempts at escape, and was known as
the sentinel or the provost marshal of
the prisoners. who never wearied watch
the huge animal as it swamsup and
down, with its head and tail canted
viciously out of the water-Cincinnati

HINTS FOR BEEKEEPERS.

Moth worms bother Italian bees very
little.
Spring dwindling is the result of bad

Bees require ventilation in the hive

Honey will ripen just as well outside

In wintering it is always best to take

The nourishment of the bee consists
of honey and pollen.
With good care combs may be made

Nent Little Trick for BOYS,

An apparent mechanical impossible.
ity may be accomplished by simple
means, using a copper cent, and cork
with a common cambric needle as ac-
cessories. Announce that you will drive
small needle through'a coin, and few
will be ready to accept your statement,
yet it is very simple and anyone can do
it. Take copper coin, place it upon
two small blocks of wood, leaving a very
narrow open space between the blocks.
Now, having selected good, sound
cork, force the needle through il
until the point just appears at the
other end. Break off the portion of the
head of the needle showing above the
top of the cork. Place the cork upon the
coin and strike it fair, smart blow
with hammer. The needle will be
driven entirely through the penny by a
single blow.-Harry Kellar, in Home

EXTRACTING WAX.
How to Perform This Sometimes Nec-
essary Operation.

How to Perform This Sometimes Nec-
essary Operation.
Although bees are not kept in this
country for the wax they make, it some
times becomes necessary to extract the
wax, and the best way to do it is set
forth in an exchange, the name of which
has been lost.
Tie up the pieces of comb in piece
Of old cotton cloth. Then take an or
binary baking pan and fill half full of
water. Across the top of this place two
slender sticks and on the sticks lay the
cloth containing the wax, being sure to
SO place it that the wax will drip into
the pan and so as to prevent the cloth
from touching the water.
Now place the pan in the oven of the
stove and keep up moderate heat.
Watch it that the water does not boil
nor the cloth scorch, as this denotes too
aigh temperature. AS the wax be-
comes hot it will drip through the cloth
and rest on the top in fluid form, al
lowing any impurities in it, such as dirt
or propolis to sink through and fall to
the bottom of the pan.
When the wax ceases to drip remove
the cloth and stick, and shut the oven
door, letting the fire in the stove die
out and the oven become cold before re-
moving the pan. If the stove must be
used, take the pan out very carefully
and cover it with pot lid or piece of
board and cover this with blanket or
other cover, tuclsing it around the pan
to prevent the heat from escaping and
allow it to get thoroughly cooled before
disturbing it. If this is done the i'm
purities will all fall to the bottom of
the pan and the cake of wax, pure and
clean, may be taken from the pan. II
allowed to cool too quickly the cake OF
wax will crack. Any wax that may stick
TO the pan may be removed with gaso-
line without trouble.
Usually the best place to sell wax Is
to some manufacturer Of foundation, as
they require first-class wax and pay the
best prices for it. Often there may be
a local demand for it that will make a
good price for it. If not, it will keep
until price can be secured.
