&C." writes a young Bulgarian woman
living in Sofia, ''our streets are full OF
servants, and people bargain with them
for service. During the winter season
they are very cheap. as the peasan
send all their girls to the city to b
hired, they having no work for them
at home. The price paid differs. One
can get girl for her board. or pay up
to 20 lusor CSD a month for one who
cooks, washes and irons. Girls are Of
ten thankful to enter a good family for
their board For the men there is veIy
little work, and the papers are full o,

Fore.ts ana Human vitaIitn.

One has but to look back through his
tory to see how closely related is tn
forest to human vitality. 1t was in th
forests of Thessaly that the earl
Greeks received their energy that late
fowered into genius. It was the fores
dwellers Of Germany that conquere
decadent Rome and later gave to Spat
the vigor that swept back the Moo
and brought under her flag almost III
whole known world. But today wha,
is Greece. what is Italy, what is Spain|
They have been stripped Of their for
ests, those nurseries of vigor, and thei
decay has set in. Everywhere the Law
holds good. 1t is in the forest that tn
manhood is nourished which builds nj
great civilizations But cities aris
trees are swept away, and the inevil
BILE decline sets in. Forests once de
stroyed cannot return, and over all tn,
sites OF ancient civilization are BLOWN,
the desert sands.-Arthur Goodby II

CAUGHT IN A LOG JAM.
Thrilling Fishing Experience In
Northern Michigan.

=
Upon one occasion in northern Mich
igan / was trout fishing in company
with q veteran timber cruiser, man
who knew everything about the rough
bush life, says a writer in Worlds
Work. In time we reached a bend In
the stream where a lot Of small logs
had jammed during the spring freshet.
My eomrade unconcsrnedly ventured
upon the logs, and before 1 could fol-
low by some mischance he stepped
upon a loose one and Instantly disap-
peared. Had not been looking at him
It is likely l should have imagined he
had crossed and gone into the brush
upon the farther side. One log Of all
the mass was rolling, and a hand show
ed at one side Of it. To dart across and
seize the hand occupied very few sec
onds, but to my horror could not pull
him up through the narrow space
through which he had slipped To set
foot upon the log either side the open
ing and shove with all strength was the
only hope. For seconds 1 clung to the
wrist and strained nightly. Slowly
the logs separated and up he came till
he was able to twist upon his stomach
across a log. Half drowned as he was,
he had not lost his nerve. "Do-don't
let 'em squeeze back ON mel" he gasp
ed. and a moment later he was on his
feet. Most men would have weakened
then. but he was iron He had swal-
lowed a lot Of water. had been cheek
by jowl with an awful death, yet he
had no idea of proving false. The logs
were slowly slipping farther apart and
was standing like certain large gem
tleman of Rhodes and unable to stand
much more spreading or to spring to
either side, while, of course, to slip
into the water meant to enter the trap
he had just escaped. In a few seconds
he seized my hand and one quick haul
carried me to firm footing. The logs
at once closed like a gigantic trap.
When we reached solid ground my COM
rade almost collapsed, and for half an
hour he was a ve~y sick man. Later
he said: Il held my breath as long as l
could, calcuiatin' you might try to get
me, an. pardner, I'll never forget that
little turn. reckon was in a mighty
tight place"

A peauttfuI ronrt.

On grand day in the old chivalric
times, when the lady Of each knightly
heart was pledged by name, when It
came to St. Icons turn he lifted the
sparkling cup on high and gave them
this: Il drink to one" he said, 'whose
image never may depart deep carved
on the human heart till memory is
dead" With that be paused as if be
would not breathe her name in careless
mood thus lightly to another. then bent
his noble head as though to give that
word the reverence due and gently
said, ''My motherl"

The canHensh OF Puget sound.

Very queer fish are caught in the wa
ters Of Puget sound. One kind is called
the candlefish. 1t is dried and packed
in boxes like candles. We are told the
fishermen use them to light their homes
and that at one time all the boats on
the sound used them instead OF sperm
oil lamps. By putting the heads of the
fish downward in candlestck and
lighting the tail, which, In conjunction
with the backbone. acts as a wick. 1t
burns like a candle. They eat this fish.

An AInshnn smoke.

How would you enjoy a pipeful Of
wood shavings. saturated with a strong
solution of pepper, as an after dinner
smoke? Strange as this may seem for
a substitute for tobacco, it is, says the
Family Doctor. nevertheless used as
such by Indians along the Alaskan
coast. Their mouths are often made
raw by the practice, and the eyesight
Of many is affected by the strong
fumes.

Plots Thioken.

From the Delaware Democrat.
The plot thiclgens against AddiclSs and
against Addlclsism. The appointment Of
receiver for the Bay State Gas Com
pany threatens 20 disclose a mass Of cor
ruption and fraud pracNced by the Gas
Man the like OF which Is unknown in the
history Of this or almost any other State
The game of blum. talked OF ~ him and
his organs, will come to naugnt when off,
set by an exposure Of his affairs by the
receiver, who is well-known as a thor
ougnly honest man. and who was chosen
because he possessed those Qualities
which in these days seem so scarce.
The people Of Delaware may be con-
graduated upon the fact that at last there
seems an end coming to the evil that has
done such injury TO our community in the
corrur tion of free suffrage. and which
bade fair TO destroy free government,
among us.
Instead Of making the courts subseryient
20 his will, or changing the judiciary at
his pleasure, he Is now confronted by
heir power and must obey their behests
whe.her he viii or no. The courts have
ever been the safety OF The people in free
governments, and as long as they are
ept uncorrupted the dangers Of despot-
SIN can be averted.
We have no doubt that such win prove
o be the case in this instance. Our good
leonle have been patient and long suf-
ering with the evils that have seemed
20 great almost. for us TO bear. There
GEMS now light ahead and IN due course

Enrache.

A simple, harmless and infallible cure
for earaehe is effected by making a
small funnel Of stiff paper and saturat-
ing a bali of cotton the size of hick-
ory nut with chloroform and dropping
it into the funnel; place the small end
of the funnel in the ear, draw a long
breath and then blow the breath into
the large end Of the funnel. The fumes
Of the chloroform are thus carried into
the ear, and all pain ceases at once.

An Ancient work ON ANGLING.

The greatest work Of antiquity on
angling Is said to be the ''Halieutica" Of
Orphan. a Greek poet who hourished In
the time Of severus, A. d. 10s, from
which we learn that many artifces in
fishing thought to be modern were
known to ancients. We also learn
from Atheneus that several other writ
ers had written treatises or poems on
fishing some centuries before the Chris

Mice That sub.l.t on scorpions.

Among the queer forms Of animal
life that inhabit Death valley is a
mouse that has acquired such taste
for scorpions that they form it's entire
bill of fare. The scorpion carries its
formidable armament in the end Of its
slender, elongated abdomen in the
shape Of an exceedingly venomous,
hooked sting. When disturbed, it ele-
Yates this in the air and goes in search
Of its disturber. But it is comparative
" slow In its motions, while mice are
proverblal for their quickness the world
over. The mouse learned many gen
erations ago where the scorpion car
ries its weapon. and when be meets it
he leaps at the uplifted abdomen, takes
of the sting at a single bite and pro-
ceeds to make a meal of his helpless
prey 1t is supposed to be the only an
imal that relishes scorpions.
