Wages in the Woods.

From the Ashland Press
''I estimate that not over 30 per
cent. as many men will be employed
in the camps of Minnesota and Wis
consin this winter, as were employed
last winter" said Logger Harry
Parks this morning. AS a con-
sequence of the curtailment of the
cut in both states, there are great
deal more men asking for work in
the camps, than will get it and the
wages On the average are So per
month lower than last winter.
At Duluth, hundreds of men are
seeking employment in the camps.
At one camp between Ashland and
Duluth yesterday, thirty fve men
arrived in one bunch and were un-
able to get jobs. A some of the
stations, the lumt er companies have
stationed men, with instructions TO
keep ali seekers after jobs away.
The constant throng Of applicants
at the camps binders the work and
does the applicants no good, and
they are consequently turned away,
before reaching the camps. The
wages 10 the Ashland lumber district
are slightly above those in the Du-
Iuth district, probably for the rea-
sou that there are more applicants
for jobs at Duluth than at Ashland.
There are not as many skilled
woodsmen in this country as there
we're few years ago, said a camp
boss this morning, many of those
now looking for places in the woods

A Few Rules for Bowling.

Don't brag how big score you
will make in your coming game
you may get the BOBBY prize.
Always keep back of the foul line
continually slipping over it rubs
off the paint.
If your fingers get sore, bowl
some more-they will feel better
when you timber them up.
Should the joints of your fingers
swell or blood blisters appear, try
the first or third finger-a little pain
ought not to spoil the fun.
II the alleys are slippery put on a
little extra speed and take tumble
occassionaly-in this way other
parts of the body will be getting
exercise as well as your right arm.
In case your right arm or
right shoulder gets lame don t lay
it to bowling-rheumatism is likely
the cause.
Don't swear if you get a split
when a strike is expected-if every
throw made strike there would be
no use playing.
Remember there is only one man
who wins all the time-that is the
proprietor of the place.
Keep on good terms with the pin
boys-they are sometimes able to do
you a good turn.
Don't quit good game at meal
time-your wife can keep things
warm in the oven.
Smoke in your eyes is bad blow
it in the other fellows.
In case your score is bad lay it
onto the alleys-you can make some
one believe they dip at one corner.
If you feel sore after many games
don t admit it, as it is sign you are
not strong-bowl some more.
Never mind attending to business
that can wait till latter in the day
if the game is interesting.
It isn't gong to do any good to
wiggle your feet after the ball is
half way down the alley-try
wiggling your ears instead.
Try and find how it is that you
are able TO strike out at the end of
the game, when in the other nine
frames you couldn't even get aspare.
Don't mind lofting the ball hal
way down the alley-you don't own
the place anyway.
Throw either from the center or
corner of the allevs-it will get more
pins than a ball thrown into the
gutter,
Always look pleasant when you
settle-''every gentleman must lose
sometimes"
If after dozen games you get
tired, timber up by playing another.
If you don't slide drop some water
on the runway for the other fellow S
beneft-you will be sure to win.
In case you get a sucker into a
three handed game make an agree
ment at the start that the low man
pays"

PRODUCING Arsenic by the Ton.

When the statement is made that
during last year Canada produced 725
tons Of arsenic one is apt to wonder
where II all comes from. A mining
journal Is authority for the statement
that It was all extracted from gold
ores with the bromocyanogen process.
After the concentrates have been freed
OF their gold contents. the remaining
matter is passed through a cylindrical
washer. and the arsenical fumes are
condensed in suitable chambers. Az

their muscles and develop their bodies
to that state of perfection which we
often dream of but seldom attain. Per-
haps the most plausible excuse for this
neglect of physical training is the lack
of time to go where the apparatus for
the work may be found, but this ex-
cuse can not avail to justify entire
omission of exercise in the future, for
an apparatus has been invented which
can be folded up and carried in the
vest pocket. 1t consists of thin rub
ber bag, with an elastic cord connect
ing it with band passing around the
fingers, and is used practically the
same as the punching bag, the alert
ness and swiftness of movement re-
quired to strike the bag making up for
the lack of actual muscular exertion.
While the bag is small enough when
debated to be stored in the vest pocket
1t is fully eight inches in diameter
when filed with air, while its light
ness necessitates the employment OF
no inconsiderable amount of skill and
accuracy to drive it from the hand
even a few times without missing a
blow. Either one or both hands may
be used in the exercise, and to vary
the speed of the return 1t is only
necessary to change the length Of the
elastic cord which connects 1t with the
finger loops David ]. Wilson Of Wash

Marvellous LIQUID.

An engineer of Munich. Max Eber-
hardt, gave recently a demonstration
OF the effectiveness of new prepara-
tion for extinguishing fires. The trials,
1t is reported, were successful. The
preparation is a liquid of milky color.
The first experiment showed that the

be burned upon the hand after 1t has
been immersed in the liquid. Small
fires can be extinguished with the

liquid fire in a pit Of tar was put
out in one second. The tar, even after
petroleum had been poured over 1t.
could not again be ignited, as the
liquid formed a thin, unreliable crust
which completely extinguished in

twelve gallons of the liquid. Small
quantities of the preparation are suffi.
cient for extinguishing purposes. SO

are avoided. The price OF the liquid
is about rs cents per quart.

An Ingenious Invention.

The Hoppe Auto Pedal is the name
given to en- ingenious invention which
has just been placed on the market
by c. ]. Hoppe & Son, piano makers,
in this city. Its purpose is to correct
the injudicious use of the forte, or
loud pedal, in piano. When used
with the Pianola or other piano play
ing attachments, the Hoppe Auto
Pedal controls the pedal of the piano
like an artist, and does it automatical-
ly, thus permitting the performer to
fully enjoy the music with no tax "a
his mind as to this portion of gh1
playing. 1t gives the correct sostenuto
effect automatically, without requiring
perforated music to be cut especially
for it, and can be attached to any
piano player without changing origin

conceived and planned by Florence ].

the picture have been designed for use
where the light can not be placed
within easy reach of the hand to oper-
ate the sparkling wires which light the
gas. With this appartus it is only
necessary to open the valve in the
pipe, permitting the gas to flow into
the burner. The latter comprises a
seal chamber and diaphragm, .togeth-
er with an electric igniter of the ordi-
nary pattern. A little study of the
drawing will show that when the gas
pressure is turned on the diaphragm
must expand in the seal chamber and
this expansion is utilized to manipu-
late the igniter. by connecting the dia-
phragm to the pivoted arm which car
ries the sparkling wire. Upon closing
the valve the diaphragm falls of its
own weight and the igniter once more
adjusts itself ready to produce the
spark when the pressure is applied

QUEER NAMES OF ESTATES.

Many in Old Deeds Of Land,

The peculiar names given to estates
in Baltimore county in days gone by
appeal strongly to the risibles of the
many lawyers who go to Towson to
search the old transfer books and
should delight the searcher after
unique nomenclature.
All tho transfers in former years
began with "The indenture," which
has been of late years changed to
this deed" The first deed filed for
record concerned the transfer of "Cub
Hill Resurveyed' from Michael C.
jenkins and William H. Collins, Trus-
tees, to Owen Donovan. This was fol-
lowed by the transfer of AIRY Hills
and Pleasant Springs" from Amelia
Cannon to John Thomas Ritter and
then Adventure" "Solomon's Wis
DOM" and Boards Branch" were con-
veyed from Samuel Dicks to Alexander
Lehr.
In the Second District was a tract
of land called "Plains of Paran." pet
ticoats Loose" is the title of an estate
in the Sixth district, and General
Lafayette the friend of General Wash
ington; therefore, the friend of Univer-
sal Liberty" is rather unwieldly appel
lation applied to a homestead in the
