words that clang like iron bells in
the senate halls, that soothe in the
mothers lullaby, that sting like
wasps in the taunts of the scorn-
full, or bite like adders in the OK
aggerations of the gossip-such
words are making this world. How
beautiful it would be if each man
guarded his neighbours reputation
as if it were his own. If he could
only realize that possibly his
neighbor was just as religious, just
as virtuous, and in every way had
an equal right to inhabit the earth
with himself. When will the COS
sip come to understand that he
and his neighbor are made of the
same mud, live in the same SUM-
shine, and are governed by the
same laws? So long as he attends
to his business, you (the gossip
should attend to yours; and SO long
as you set yourself up to gossip
about your neighbor OF scalawag
others, just because you can find
a sympathetic listener to heed
your criticisms, you simply adver-
tise yourself as an idiot. Stop
lying about the man at your side,
stop speaking unkindly of any
one, attend to your own business
and your chances of wearing a
crown are greatly increased. In
the end the hypocrite, the gossip
and the assasein's character will
all burn together, and if You don't
want to burn with them, stop talk
ing about them. r. o. Z.

would take a grasshopper of a

number of feet and inches per
hop and make a certain number of
hops per minute; but it is handi-
capped by being lame in one leg,

one-third in length but not in

him to jump around the world at

suits:
According to computation, if 433

continuously at the Biblical three
score and ten, the task would be
completed in time to give each

Cold weather and light snow
marked the beginning of March,
after a fortnight of mild spring
weather. The month came in like
the lion, and therefore many per-
sons infer that it will go out like
the proverbial lamb. This sup
position, says Guard Gallagher,
who is learned in weather lore, is
eminently unscientific and unre-
liable. There is no relation, he
says, between the condition of the
atmosphere ION March LIST and the
conditions prevailing thirty days
later.

Work in a Logging
Camp.

About the 18th of September, in
this state, the logger sends crew
of men up river to repair the dams
on the stream in which he is to
land his logs; to repair the old
camps or build new ones: After
that is done, the cutting Of new
roads begins, or the extending of
old ones; building sideways, cut
ting cross hauls and few round
turns. Next comes the chopping
and saving. The chopper, or
notcher, cuts scarf with his ak
on the side of the tree on which
he wishes the tree to be felled.
The sawyers saw the tree down,
the notcher measures it into log
lengths and the sawyers saw it up.
The swampers limb the tree, make
road from it to the skidway, and
if it is rough, large tree, and the
haul is long, they also bark it,
Next comes the skidding crew
with a team Of horses or a yoke Of
oxen or two hitched to a scoot, or
"go-devil.' The scoot tender rolls
the log on to the scoot, fastens it
with a chain, and it is hauled to
the skidway. When the skidway
is filled, decking egins-that is
piling the logs. About the middle
of December Cor little earlier)
hauling begins. The men who
load the sleds are called leaders,
and the man who works on the
sled is called the ''top-loader;;" the,
man who sends 'em up" is called
the ground loader" the other-if-
there be three-is called the
''tailer-down." He rolls the log to
the ground-man. The man who.
keeps the road in shape is called
the 'road- monkey;;' the men who,
unload the sleds are called '.land-
ing men," the man that hauls the
lunch to the men in the woods, is
called the "bull-cook,'.' and his
work (poor fellow is never done.
He lights the fire in the sleeping
shanty, before the men get up, fills
all the lanterns, keeps the sleeping
