A r1MnER.r1Ep Transfer.

A lumberman has occasionally to meet
certain difficulties which are not set
down in the general list of hardships in
cident to the work. For instance:
During the past winter number OF
teams were "bobsledding" logs down a
hillside in the Swift River region. The
first part of their haul was very COM
Portable road, but portion of it was so
steep that it was necessary to bride.
On one of the coolest of the cold days of
the winter, the teams were coming down
on their last trip for the day. When the
last man got to the top of the steep pitch
he started to get off as usual to put on
the bride chain. But he didn't get off
lust as he intended. The logs on which
he sat had shifted position little, and
in doing so had gathered in what surplus
of his clothing was available, and he
was pinned fast.
Well, what was to be done? He hadn't
a cantdog within reach-in fact, didn't
have one on the load, nor nearer than the
landing from which he started. He
shouted for the other teams, but they
were too far ahead to hear him, and it
was the last trip for the day. And he
couldn't get down the hill without bridl-
ing.
There was only one way out OF it, and
releasing himself from his trousers, he
started to crawl out of them, when he
discovered that it was not only trousers
but other articles of clothing that were
involved in the pinch. The careful use
of knife solved that part of the problem,
and leaving his team, neither garments
and all, he hurried through the zero at
mosphere in scant attire back to the
landing, where he got cantdog, and In
few minutes more had regained posses
sion of the missing portion of his ward
robe and was again protected against the
chilling February blast.

Queer Turkiah Eiak.

April 10 is the great fete day Of "Ba
lukli." or place Of fishes. This Is O
small church situated outside the walls
Of Constantinople. and 1t enjoyed nc
particular reputation before the con-
quest of Constantinople by the Turks
At the time Of the invasion. however. g
monk was cooking some fish there
when messenger came and told him
that the Turks had entered Constants
nople. The monk did not believe the
story and said he would sooner believe
that the half cooked fish would jump
back into the water. AS he spoke the
fish jumped back into the water, and
since then the place has had a great
reputation for Its healing powers.
A church has been built over the
spring dedicated to "Our Lady Of the
Fishes" and on this day regular pill,
grimage takes place from all parts Of
the town. Many sick are carried thlth-
or. and many miraculous cures are re-
ported. The truth of the story is proved
by the presence In large marble lined
tank in the church Of the lineal de-
scendants Of the half cooked fish. Any
onc who does not believe has only to
took in the water, and he will see them,
brown on one side and white on the
other. swimming about at their ease.
