A LONG DRIVE.
The Expert lumbermen Of the Cana
dian Rivers.

The Expert Iumbermen Of the Cana
dian Rivers.
One of the most interesting sights
the new arrival in Canada can strike
Is to witness log drive on one of the
rivers there, especially should there be
several rapids to navigate.
The expert river man is clever ath-
lete-clever and nervy as any circus
rider, his steeds probably cutting more
antics than any horse could think of.
He win jump from one log to another
quickly as they swirl around until he
reaches the one he wants; then he will
make for the center and stand perfect
~ upright and still, balancing himself
with long pike or peavy, sometimes
running down stream miles without
landing.
He also guides other logs into the
channel in passing, at times jumping
from one to another in marvellous fash
ion, although the logs are twisting and
turning in every direction.
Probably the cleverest piece Of work
one could observe out here Is when
the logs get TANNED ID passing the
rapids. Then you see the expert at
his best. He h here, there and every
where until he gets things as he wants
them, when he will calmly stand and
ride down among the heaving. grind
ing mass as though there were no dan
ger at hand. This scene, SO full of ex-
citement, once witnessed could never
be Experimentation Tit-Bits.

A Wife In BONDAGE.

He is that rare and greatly to be
admired person, real live duke. and
he holds sway over many workers
To give him his due. he is good mas.
ter. and for the most part his kindness
is greatly appreciated by his retainers
But Bob Willet is laborer with
democratic proclivities and marked
distaste for work. and recently his
ducal masteE determined that the one
thing to do with Bob was to dismiss
him. whereupon he did so. and Bob
came to the conclusion that the time
had now arrived when the pride of the
peerage should be humbled. The diff.
ficulty was to think of something suf-
ficiently biting, for the duke was q
good master. as has been remarked
Then an inspiration flashed on Bob
The dukes duchess had been appoint
ed a lady in waiting to the queen. and
this was Bob's opportunity.
"All right, yer grace" he said, 'I'l
go, but I'll take heart to say this
Though I'm poor man I've never
had to send my missus out to service
and that's more'n some people car
say."-London Chronicle.

A Royal Martyr to Etiquette.


In Spain the etiquette to be observed
in the royal palaces was carried to
such length as to make martyrs Of
their kings. There is a historic in
stance. Philip III. was gravely seated
by the fire. The firemaker of the court
had kindled SO great quantity Of
wood that the monarch was nearly
suffocated with heat. and his grandeur
would not suffer him to rise from the
chair. The domestics could not pre-
sumo to enter the apartment because
it was against the etiquette. At length
the Marquis do Totat appeared. and
the king ordered him to damp the fires,
but he excused himself, alleging that
he was forbidden by the etiquette to
perform such function. for which the
Due d'Usseda ought to be called upon,
as it was his business. The duke was
gone out. The fire burned fiercer, and
the king endured it rather than dero-
gate from his dignity. But his blood
was heated to such a degree that he
was seriously i'll the next day. A vic.
lent fever succeeded. which carried
him off in the wenty-fourth year Of
his age.-London Standard.

DOG Pets In Hotels.

'The one thing we have more trou-
BILE with than anything else, said the
manager of one of the large hotels in
upper Broadway, sis the fact that wo-
men insist on smuggling their pet dogs
to their rooms. We have no objections
to dogs as dogs. If the animal is not
too large or too fierce our guests may
take them to their rooms during the
day and may even feed them there.
But we draw the line at having dogs
in the bedrooms at night. Any woman
with pet dog can have the beast
cared for by the porter at night. and
we have specially constructed kennels
for all kinds of dogs, and we give
them the best OF care. But owners of
pets seem to think that no one save
themselves understands Fido or Gyp
The women seem to think that if dog.
gle has not the comforting assurance
Of the owners nearness then doggie
will not sleep WELL So women try to
smuggle their pets to their rooms un.
der their cloaks or by back ways or
even bride one of the porters to take
1t to their room, believing that we will
not hear anything about it.
AS matter of fact. the first thing
the porter does after getting his tip is
to tip me. and a couple of hours later
the woman is called upon by a clerk
who tells her dogs cannot stay in the
bedrooms all night.-New York Press.

Bohemia,s Rocky Maze.

The Rocky maze of Prachov, near
Jacin. in northern Bohemia, is a veri-
table natural curiosity. 1t has been
well described as a gigantic ''freak in
stone" To enter the labyrinth with
out a guide is perilous proceeding.
for an unwary adventurer would prob
ably speedily be lost in the tortuous
windings of the maze, where the paths
are so narrow and crooked and the
cliffs on the side so high that the ex-
plorer soon loses all idea Of locality.
In days OF fiery persecution the Mora.
Wan and Bohemian brethren's secret
prayer meetings used to be held here,
just as the early Christians assembled
to worship in the catacombs. The
cliffs are honeycombed with cells, and
at the far end of the maze is a rock
castle. where in the old days robber
baron lived and took toll of all way
farers. The shape of some of the
rocks is very curious. There are, for
instance. the bishop and inter-" the
Madonna and the child" and many
others.-London Scraps.
