Illustration of Form.

James Ten Eyck, oarsman and
coach, discussing rowing one day in
the Syracuse Herald office, said sue
cess depended on form. He explained
what he meant by form. Then, by
way of Illustration, he added:
Everything, everything, goes by
form. Thus, out West in the old days,
1t was the essence of form to be in.
formal. My father used to tell about
squire who would marry the young
couples that came to him in some such
form as this:
"'Bill, do ye take this gal whose
hand ye're a-squeezin' to be yer law.

Name, do ye take this cuss we've
jined fists with to be yer pard through

Wood-choppers Of Australia,

The Australian choppers are slender
men, and might be taken for anything
rather than lumbermen. "Oh, we are
fairly strong" said Mr.. MacLaren;
but, you know, 1t does not require
strength to chop. 1t is a knack. A
ten.year.old boy, II he cuts clean, will
outchop grown man. Much depends,
OF course, upon the axe used. We
use American tools entirely-in fact,
nothing but American tools Is used in
the Australian bush. Axes for use in
competitions are kept in prime condi.
ton; even the handles are given spe.
cial treatment of rosin rubbing, or
We bone them as baseball players
bone the handles of their bats. In
London we shaved a man on the
stage with one Of our axes. Razor
steel? Yes; all good tools are of razor
steel. Almost anybody can sharpen
an axe, but when it comes to a saw,
there is as much skill required to dc
good job as in drawing a picture.
For instance, have lived in camp
all my life, yet l cannot sharpen a
saw properly. 1t takes Jackson to do
that, and you should see him every
morning bevelling the edges of each
tooth Of the crosscut we use."-Les.

II Came at Last.

Few letters have remained so long
in the keeping of the post Office as
one which has now safely reached its
destination after a lapse of twenty
nine years. On Christmas day, 1871,
the document was posted at Swindon,
addressed to young lady who resid-
ed in Charnham street, Hungerford.
A day or two ago 1t was delivered to
a lady at Newbury, having occupied a
quarter of century plus four years
in transit. The delay was caused by
the missive falling behind some wood
work at the Swindon Office, where it
lay unnoticed until certain alterations
In the building brought 1t to light. 1t
was then sent on to Hungerford,
where there happened to be a post.
man who knew the lady to whom the
letter was addressed. Hence the de.
livery to the rightful owner, in spite
OF the fact that she had changed her
name three times since the envelope
was inscribed.

Marjorie's Remark.

Marjorie. aged four years, has a fox
terrier, in the welfare of which she
takes great interest. Said fox-terrier
wears the customary collar and
license, and Marjorie understands the
Importance of these perfectly well.
The other evening a young woman
came to dine at the house of the
small girl. She wore around her
throat what was possibly a souvenir
of some sentimental nature, a tiny
chain, from which depended a gold
heart.
Dear me-" said Marjorie when the
guests had assembled in the drawing
room, and she was bidding them good.
night before going to the nursery for
her supper. Dear me, mamma, Miss
Smith has on her license, hasn't she? =?
Why are Fido and Miss Smith the
only ones who have on licenses?"
And then she was hustled off sum-
marily to darkest retirement and Miss
Smith, tag and all, went out to dinner.

'or even more, men to work at uncap-

toes can go under the edge Of the box,
which allows them to lean against
the side of the box. The latter may
seem like a small point, but it counts

The upcapping knives should be
kept as sharp as possible, and some
means provided to keep them in hot

two is an advantage, as 1t gives op-
