Logging Railroa5s

Time was when tho logs were drawn over roads of snow and ice on the ST at rude sledges to the banks of some river, drawn ont on the ice and left until the springtime. when they would be floated down stream to the mills In sane places the system is still in vogue, but in large measure all this has hecn changed. Logging railroads have !, en built into the forests, enabling the own CTS of pine lands to reach forests far from any stream. Spurs from the main branch of the road are built out like the fingers on an enormous hand clutching at the defenseless pines After a torta- ous passage through the paths of the woods the log is loaded upon the skid. way-an incline leading down to the railway track The skids are long, tough poles of tamarack or some hard wood, placed about 20 feet apart.
 The logs easily roll down on these skids and are drawn by horses up on the short, wide freight cars, and as fast as one car is loaded another takes its place. until a train of perhaps 30 cars is made up. The road is a very rough one, and the trains are supplied with the best of airbrakes, for the grades are steep. and great care must be exercised or the trains will break in two and disaster and possibly loss of life will follow if part of one of the trains breaks away and starts down the grade Mountain climbers. " the powerful ell zines in use in mining regions. are part of the equipment of a logging rail road--''The Story of Pine Board, by W. S Hsrwood, in St Nicholas.

Hoy to Take g Bath.

cannot understand why it is,l' says
 a physician. that when I order a cold
 tub bath for my patients, the tempera-
 lure to be at 65 or % degrees. they
 never caE understand how they are to
 do it-T suppose I shall let the water stand overnight, says one But is is not necessary to let the water stand overnight. We are living under civi- Gzed conditions and the very simple plan of turning on the hot water faucet for a few minutes will moderate the water to exactly the proper temperature. Some people do not understand taking a cold bath anyway. don't wonder they take cold To bathe properly, when the water is in the tub turn down the night clothes and bathe the face and reck Then, stepping into the tub, knecT on one knee and with the sponge throw the water first over one shoulder and then over the other down the spine. That causes the reaction which makes the body warm. Quickly sponge over the rest of the body, make a few mo- tons forward in the water, as if swim ming, and then jump out into the Led room slippers It need not take more than a moment Such a bath is very to many thin blooded people" New York Times.

It was stated that the express company had S2O0yO00 aboard, and if the at tempt had proven successful the robbers would have made quite a rich haul The fact that there WAS so much treasure aboard was the of the failure of the at tempted robbery, as armed guards were aboard to protect it.
