They grow so at home on slippery,
shifting logs rolling and tossing
about in the swift current that they
can leap from one to another and
ride on them like circus performers
while directing their course around
a bend or bad place in the river.
These 'loggers" make a speciality of
standing on log and making it roll,
first forward, then backward, by
leaning one way or the other, and
standing on the side of the log near
est the direction they wish it to roll.
They can even make the log roll
through the water like a wheel or
hoop rolling over the ground.
Some time when you are in SWIM
ming or bathing find a good-sized
log, put it in the water and try to
stand on it. You will be surprised to
find how difficult it is to do this, and
the first time you try the log will
probably roll over at once and dump
you in the water. But you will very
soon get the knack of it, and then
you will find that by standing with
your feet on one of the sloping sides
of the log you can make it turn in
that direction, and by moving your
feet just as fast as the log moves you
can not only keep your upright posi-
ton, but can make the log move
through the water. Try it. - New

Women Who Should BE Pretty.

Do you know that it is the habits
and not the flight of years that take
the expression of youth from the
eyes, the look of freshness from the
skin, the lightness of grace from the
step? Too many women who are
pretty in girlhood become positively
ugly in middle age. Those who are
shapeless with fat and have muddy
compilations are often thus unlovely
because of laziness and self-indulg-
ence. They eat the rich and sweet
things which make flesh and do not
take sufficient exercise. The odd
thing about it is that while women
deplore the loss of beauty no persua-
sion will mike them adoptthe Spartan
methods which will bring at least
some of it back, sa,s WOman's Life.

Fine Girl; Fine Pig.

Miss Ethel Neal, daughter OF
farmer of Robertson County, Ken
lucky, thinks she would make
good wife for some thrifty young
fellow, as witness the following:
About fifteen months ago VIM.
Anderson, a neighbor Of the Neal
family, needed an extra laborer in
his tobacco field. Neighbor farmers
in KENTUCKY assist each other when
the COX is in the ditch Biblically
speaking, SO Anderson asked Miss
Neal ii she would assist him to set
his tobacco crop while the drought
was broken. Miss Neal answered in
the affirmative, and for one long, hot
day she almost broke her back set
ting tobacco plants.
When Anderson asked what she
charged for the days work she took
small SOW pig that was running
about the yard and carried it home
in her arms. She cared for the little
pig, which in time grew to be an
adult porker.. This week Miss Neal
sold seven shoats, the produce of the
pig. for nearly 500. The seven
shoats averaged 256 pounds in
weight. In the fifteen months that
the tobacco pig" has been owned
by Bliss Neal she has sold nearly
5000 worth of pigs. All this is the
result OF one days labor in hot

poRcrp1Nrs AND sAI.r

Some men who were camping in
the Adirondacks several years ago,
on breaking camp in the autumn, left
an old tub which was saturated with
salt brine. On returning to the same
camp the next year they found that
the tub had been gnawed until little
of 1t was left. They were not long
in finding out what animal had done
the work, for the camp was overrun
with Canadian porcupines. At night
they became such a nuisance that the
campers were obliged to kill them to
protect their property. The handle
of a paddle was gnawed half through.
The explanation of their presence
in such numbers during that year,
when they had not been noticeably
abundant in the previous year, is
that they had made a rendezvous of
the camp, being attracted by the old
lbrine-tub. On this they Toasted all
winter, and for that reason were
greatly pleased with the locality.
An interesting query is this: Is
the liking for salt an acquired or a
natural taste? Were they ever able
to crafty that taste to any extent be-
fore man gave them a chance to do
so?-From Nature and Science, in

One Woman's Belt.

There is a woman in New York
who is distinguished by the belt she
wears. 1t is perhaps the most re-
markable conceit in New Yorf-, con-
sisting of sixteen gold medals, each
of which represents a first prize in
an athletic contest won by the wear
er's fiance, the two medals forming
the clasp standing for national
championships. The making of this
belt was a formidable task for the
jeweler who got it up, owing to the
fact that the fastening together of
the sixteen medals had to be done
with unusual care, since the liberal
use of enamel made the business of
brazing the gold eyelets for the con-
meeting links laborious process.
The medal winner is a member of
the New York Athletic Club.

MAIL BOXES AS NESTS.

Since free delivery of mail in
rural districts has been established
I have been pleased to discover two
or three pairs Of bluebirds nesting
undisturbed in mail boxes by the
roadside. 1t is gratifying to know
that the birds allowed themselves to
be disturbed two or three times a
day and yet not abandon their nests.
But the thing that gives the bird
lover the greatest delight is the fact
that no one robbed the nests. I am
sure the bluebird will in time learn
to appreciate this kindness, and the
day Is not far distant when it will be
q common occurrence to find some
kind Of birds nest in every home
made box that holds a letter.

Purple For Widows in Revealing.

When widows are welded hence
forth, says that stern arbiter, Fash
ion, they must carry purple flowers.
It's pity, for really, some widows
looked delightfully."- bridelike as they
marched up the aisle, bearing white
bouquets. Florists say almost all
the widows, fascinating or other
wise, who will be married this fall
will carry punches of white roses or
white orchids, though a few purple
or heliotrope flowers will be inter-
mingled. These are much smaller
than ordinary bouquets. The getting
of touch Of originality to mark the
conventional wedding costume has
become the endeavor of every BRIDE
to-be. So the purple bouquet may
come to be used by all altar-goers,
not alone by those who are treading
that path for the second time.-New

Women inventors and Others.

Prominent In the exhibit Of models
in the Patent Office museum now
threatened with dispersal are several
thousand grouped together in sepa-
rate cases, being the inventions of
women. One would naturally suppose
that these would lie in the sphere of
woman's work, and many of them
do. Sally Rosenthal invented a pock-
ct sewing machine, which she could
take along with her when visiting,
and thus improve each shining hour
with both work and gossip. Mary Car
penter invented a machine for sewing
straw hats, and is reputed to have
made much money out of 1t. Margaret
Knight invented a feeding machine for
making paper bags, and is credited
with considerable profit therefrom.
Frances DunhSm was the inventor Of
a machine for making honeycomb,
shrewdly recognizing the assistance
this would render the bees. Not all of
the women, however, have confined
themselves to lines of famine thought.
Mary Montgomery, with the memory of
the civil war fresh before her, invented
in 1864 very mechanical double-hull
construction Of war vessel, and Sarah
Mather in 1845 devised a submarine
telescope, while Mary Woodward in
1S49, probably with an eye to the com
fort Of bald-headed spouse, invented
a fan to be attached to the rocker, so
as to keep off the flies as well as fan
the occupant.-Scientiflc American.
