A eiggls of alee from Boston.

 There Is something in this Tor the pSo
 ple of the South to consider one or the greatest advantages that we nave, asNa Misunderstanding section. over the Nortn IS freedom from labor agitation: rms IS due to the fact, first ot all that our peoss os ple are more conservative in matters or fhis character and that there Is a more friendly feeling between employer ana employe than exists in other sections our workmen are not treated in the Soutn as SO many machines, but as human pc, tnps Frmployers know their employees ana cali them by name when they meet hnf- ployers in the South are always apProaIn- able. and where there IS any dHerence between them and the men who werK TOT e,r fn a friendly way, as man to man, ana usually settled without aitficulty.
 The Boston Transcript Is mistaken n saving that the South Is up against !.
 in this problem in the sense that the Worth ia up against it. Southern em- nniovers have a different class Of peopie fo deal with. Our workingmen are iargeIy

THE BEAVER.
How He Manages to Stay Under
 Water So Long in Winter.

Rod and Gun in Canada.
 The beaver is really a sort of portable pulp mill. grinding up most any kind of wood that comes his way. I once measured white birch tree. tWenty-two inches through, cut down by beaver A single beaver generally, # not always, amputates the tree. and when 1t comes down the whole family fall to and have a regular froic with the bark and branch; A big beaver will bring down a fair sized sapling say three inches through, in about two minutes. GHd large tree in about an hour.
 "One of the queerest facts about the beaver is the rapidity with which his long chisel shaped teeth recover rom an in jury. l have known beavers to break their teeth in biting trap. ani when ] caught them again ten days aftSrM9I d the teeth had grown out tt thsir forH'cr perfection in that short period"
 MT. Risteen's eNperien ,es have not giv- en him a very high opln,?n of the beaV' CTS swimming powers. IIe writAs:
 "As compared with the otter or mink the beaver Is very slow swimmer. HIS front legs hang by his sides. and he uses only his webbed hind feet for purposes of swimming. It is easy to captGcc one In d canoe if you can find him n shoal wa ter Hc is a most determined fighter. but clumsy and easy to handle. If he could get hold of you with his teeth he would almost take leg off-so you want t1 watch him sharp. The pla:e to grab him

W hen the lake or pond is frozen over. beaver vii. come to the under surface If the ice and expel his breath so that it will form a wide, fiat bubble.
