A LONG DRIVE.
The Expert Lumbern,en of the Cana
dian Rivers.

The Expert Lumbern,en 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 a clever ath-
lete-clever and nervy as any circus
rider, his steeds probably cutting more
antics than any horse could think of.
He will 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 damned Ii 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-
element, once witnessed could never
be forgotten.-London Tit-Bits.

A ROYAL Martyr 70 Etiouette.


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 historic in
stance. Philip III. was gravely seated
by the fire. The firemaker Of the court
had kindled SO great a 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 degree that he
was seriously Ill the next day. A vio-
lent fever succeeded. which carried
him off in the twenty-fourth year of
his age.-London Standard.

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 masten 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-
fictently biting. for the duke was a
good master. as has been remarked.
Then an inspiration flashed on Bob.
The dukes duchess had been appoint
ed lady in waiting to the queen. and
this was Bob's opportunity.
"All right. yer grace" he said, "I'll
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 can
say."-London Chronicle.

Dou 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, lis 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 a 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
it to their room. believing that we will
not hear anything about it.
AS a matter of fact. the first thing
the porter does after getting his tip is
to tip Inc. 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.

D0DGED THE BULLETS.
Incident of the Italian Revolution OF
1848 In Brescia,

snCiosne OF the lIaiian revolution OF
1S48 In Brescia.
The Count de Hubner tells in his
memoirs a thrilling story of an ad.
venture in the Italian city Of Brescia
during the days Of the revolution of
1S4S. When the trouble began in the
streets he contrived to get into Il house
taking with him two or three other
persons. including the wife of minol
official who had intrusted the lady for
awhile to the counts care. but who
was to have certain news of her as
soon as possible
The firing grew heavier. and the reb.
els soon had possession of almost ev.

On the 10th Of March Count de Hub.
ner decided that he must DO something
toward lettering his position in case
of an assault. and he forced his only
remaining servant to make a dash
across the street to the palace where
the Austrian general. Rath. was quar-
tered. two blocks away and on the
other side. The man was merely to
let the general know that De Hubner
himself was coming and to ask that
the gates be held ready for him.

And They Will Ride Backward, Re-
ports Traveller Of EngIishmen.
Travellers returning from England
tell of two habits Of the people of that
country which impressed them. One
is the average Englishman's aversion
to shutting the door behind him.
II don't know how 1t is in the Eng
lish houses" remarked one who has
toured England. ''for was not in one
of them. But stayed in hotel in
London where there were good many
English people. and dozen times

whether it was servant or guest
who went through, the door was left
open. This was in the spring of the
year, too. when the weather was chilly.
/ noticed the same thing in railway
coaches and hotels of smaller towns"
The other English popularity is a
preference for riding backward on
trains. The Englishman will make for
the seat with its back to the engine
every time. plant himself down in It
with every evidence of comfort and
look wonderinglys at anybody who
picks out seat facing the direction
the train is going. Not, once did one
American travelling in England see a
native choose seat facing the front
OF the train unless there were no other
seats.-New York Sun.

His Neighbours Cat.

A Cleveland lawyer tells Of a man
living in a suburb of that city whose
sleep had been disturbed nightly by
the bowling on his own back fence of
his neighbours cat. At last, in despair,
he consulted his lawyer.
''There sits the cat every night on
our fence" explained the unhappy
man, land he yowls and yowls and
yowls. Now, don't want to have any
trouble with this neighbor, but the
thing has gone far enough, and I want
you to suggest a remedy"
The lawyer looked solemn and said
not word.
II am we'll within my rights if l
shoot the cat, am I not?" asked the
sufferer.
II would hardly say that" replied
the legal light. '"The cat does not be-
long to you, as understand it."
'No."

"Then," concluded the lawyer, II

THE WATERMELON.
Not What II Used to Be, at Least IN
the Eating Thereof.

. \ i
Not What 1t Used to Be, at Least IN
the Eating Thereof.
In the old days. when the world was
much better than it is now, there were
good watermelons.
AS we remember them, the water
melons of twenty-five or thirty or thir.
ty-five years ago We're huge affairs.
They were none Of your .overgrown
cucumber effects of today, but We're
great big round fellows and the out
side was a dark green. 1t was the
same shade of green as the reflection
of the trees in a swimming hole.
And when you sunk the knife into it
the rind ripped and cracked for two
inches ahead Of the blade. and the
melon just laughed itself open.
Hold on. You didn't use a knife.
You lifted the melon above your head
and dropped it to the ground, and it
burst open. as red as rose and a
hundred times as sweet. And you ate
nothing but the heart-just the chunky
red heart
Nowadays the marketman shows you
an oblong affair done in pale green
and greenery- gallery stripes, with a
white blotch on the underside, that he
calls a watermelon. And you cut it
into slices like bologna sausage and
eat it with a fork, like pie.
And you have forgotten whether !,
watermelon goes plink-plink or PUNK.
PUNK when it is ripe, because il
doesn't make any difference now
