Eeing Generous.

Little Edward was very bright, but,
being an only child, was inclined to
wish and get the best of everything
for himself. His mother was trying
to overcome this fault and instil gen.
erosity and unselishness in it's place.
One day Edward came in and ap-
preached her in this manner: Moth
er, didn't you tell me whenever | had
anything to divide 1 must give away
the biggest half?" Yes, Edward. +"
We'll, mother, if you had something
to divide, would you give me the big
gest half?" Yes, son." Edward at
once left the room; returning in a
few moments, he handed his mother
some chewing gum. Here, mother,
you divide this gum! "-Delineator.

VISIT TO A SAWMILL,

One afternoon recently my uncle
suggested taking me through the
large sawmill which is built on the
bank Of the Restigouche River. 1t
was about o'clock. and the mill was
working at its greatest capacity, ow-
ing to the tide being low.
In the first place, the logs are
hauled out of the water by means of
long iron hooks, which the men
handle After they are brought part
ly on shore the logs are laid on an
incline of movable chains, termed
slip" BY aid of this slip they are
carried to the upper floor, Here they
are thrown off on to surface called
the bed" and left until time to be
sawed A man near by controls an
iron handle, and as he turns this the
log falls from the bed On to car
riage, run by machinery, and is held
here on it's side, while two more men
with long bars, controlled by macnin-
cry, cause the log to move along a
carriage a distance OF about eight
feet; then bandsaw, also worked by
machinery, descends upon the log as
it moves under it and removes long
slices from it. This saw is twenty
five feet in length.
After the log has all been sliced
the wood is now called boards" or
"deals;" now these deals or boards
are put on movable rollers, or an end
less chain, and are gradually carried
to the other end of the mill, where
they are marked according to their
number of feet, and by another me-
chanical saw, circular in shape, the
ends are trimmed. This work takes
place on the right side of the mill.
On the left side the logs are
brought up in the same manner as
those OF the right side. When they
reach the top they are placed in a
trough which carries the logs along
until they reach a circular saw, which
by machinery cuts them into tWo-foot
pieces as they move under it. These
two-foot pieces are then put On re-
volving chains, and every man Who is
stationed along this chain takes a

piece as it comes to his opening and
places it on rossing machine in
front of him, which turns the log
around sharp knives until the bark
is entirely off it. When entirely free
from bark the logs are put back on
the chains and carried along, out of
the mill, on high bridge to the end
of the wharf, where by means Of
openings here and there in the bridge
the pieces fall to the ground below
and are put aboard waiting steamers,
which are usually bound for Amer
ican ports.
Except for the controlling of the
machinery mans hand is not need
ed, for everything is carried on by
machinery. Having lived in New
York City all my life, the visit to this
mill was quite novelty to me. I
spent a very interesting afternoon,
having learned quite little about
the wood which is used for so many
useful articles in the home.-A.

AS VAIN AS A PEACOCK.

venture to send you some particu-
lars about the behavior of a young
peacock that is kept here. The bird
began by sedulously frequenting the
stable yard; and, whenever the car
riage was brought out of the coach
house, he would take his stand by it
and gaze at his reflection in the pan
els. He then took to accompanying
the carriage up to the house, and.
standing beside it at the front door,
engaged in self contemplation. He
now runs behind the carriage, when
it starts from the house, down to
certain point of the drive, apparently
in the hope that it may stop and al
low him to continue his favorite oc-
cupation, but he seems to conclude at
a certain place that the case is hope
less, though. if the carriage halts fur
ther down the drive he will rejoin it
and resume his observations.
It occurred to us to wonder what
he would do if looking glass were
placed on the lawn. This was accord
ingly done, and he at once found it
out. Nothing will induce him to quit
it. He will stand by it for hours to-
gether. At first, he occasionally
looked inquisitively behind the glass
at intervals to see if bird was actu-
ally present, but he has given this up
now. lie stands in front of it entire
ly absorbed, often motionless for a
long time, occasionally moving his
head gently up and down, and some
times softly touching the glass with
his bill, appearing slightly bewildered
by the contact. If food is thrown to
him he takes no notice, unless it is
close to the glass, when he will hur-
riedly gobble it up and return to his
more congenial employment in haste,
as though vexed at being interrupted.
If the glass is taken into the drawing
room, which is on the ground floor
looking into the garden, he will en-
ter the room by door or window, find
the glass, and continue his favorite
pursuit; and he spends the greater
part of the day at the door that leads
from the drawing room into the gar
den, in the hope that some one may
bring out his glass for him.
Meanwhile the peahen is sitting on
a nest of eggs in a hedge close at
hand. He never goes near her, his
only idea being to find opportunities
for contemplating hisown perfections.
l suppose that the proverb, Gas vain
as a peacock" refers to the birds
habit of spreading his tail and strut
ting about; but it is curious to find
that this instructive vanity lies deeper
still, and is not confined to the desire
to arouse the admiration of his mate,
as is generally taken for granted, but
is based upon a genuine complacency
and an almost morbid consciousness
of his personal attractions.-Arthur
C. Benson, in the Spectator.

AN ELEPHANTS MEMORY.

A veterinary surgeon told the fol-
lowing story concerning the intelli-
gence and gratitude of an elephant,
says the Minneapolis Tribune:
Some years ago, he said, was sum-
moned by the proprietor of a famous
show to come to his stables to attend
a female elephant. The great crea-
ture had stepped on nail or piece of
metal, which had penetrated her foot.
She was in great agony, and long be-
fore I reached the elephant stables
I could hear her trumpeting with
pain.
On entering 1 found her standing
on three legs, swinging the sore foot
slowly backward and forward. I felt
rather nervous as I, approached the
beast, but the keeper told me to have
no fear. The elephant, he explained,
was a very intelligent creature.
AS 1 bent down to examine the
wounded foot felt a light touch on
my hair. Turning, l saw great
trunk behind me, and it suggested
dangerous consequences.
81 shall have to cut deep" I said
to the keeper, who thereupon spoke
to the elephant in some tongue un-
known to me. Then he shouted, "Cut
away!"
made one cash with the knife and
felt the trunk tighten on my hair in
a way that made my blood run cold.
However, 1 screwed up my courage
and again applied the knife. In a
short time 1 had lanced the abscess,
sprayed the foot and bound it up.
Evidently the elephant felt immediate
relief, for it relaxed its grasp on my
hair and drew long breath.
Several months later l happened to
be in the vicinity of the show and
sought out the keeper to inquire after
my former patient.
She was we'll and hearty, he told
me, and invited me to come and see
her.
On approaching the elephant she
looked at me at first with Indifference,
then steadily and with interest. Then
she stretched out her trunk and laid
it caressingly on my head. Finally
wonderful to re1ate-she lifted her
foot, now thoroughly healed, and
showed it to me. She had not for
gotten.

Matrimony.
By RAMSEY BENSON.

Matrimony is no doubt a treacher-
GUS sea underlaid with cruel rocks
and wrapped in battling vapors. But
love finds way, and in the light of
it the vapors get to look gloriously
rosy.
And certainly where ignorance is
bliss and marriage an ordinance of
social expediency, it's worse than
folly for people to know when they
are we'll off.
Nor would it necessarily avail them
to know, because, while knowledge is
power, it isn't always power enough,
as is shown by the wisest of lis not
being invariably able to refrain from
marrying.
Angels would do we'll to ask them.
selves whether, by being overly
5queamish, they don't open the way
for just so many more fools to rush
in.-Puck.

KILLED WITH ONE BLOW.

While in the act of getting a pail
of water from the river Mrs. Piet My
burg, of Doornkraal, Stetlerville dis
trict, espied what she thought wild
cat, of exceptional size, carefully hid
den in the dense foliage, intensely
watching the approach of flock of
goats. Promptly she deserted the
pail, procured a bowlder of rock and
noiselessly approached the hiding
place of the monster.
Careful maneuvreS ultimately
brought her to the spot, where she
raised the bowlder above her head,
and, with tremendous force, flung it
down. She then called for help, and,
with the aid of man, dragged out
leopard of abnormal size, killed with
the one blow.
Mrs. Myburg is to be complimented
on her pluck and presence of mind,
although it is a matter of conjecture
whether she would have acted SINH
larly had she been aware OF the par
ticular species of cat hidden in the
bush.-East Rand Express, South

scALY LEGS IN FOWLS.

A correspondent asks the Circle
Magazine about the treatment OF
scaly legs in fowls, and wants tc
know how to cure it. F. H. Valen-
tine replies as follows:
If the birds are only moderately
affected, or are particularly valuable
for breeding purposes, they may be
cured readily, if the treatment be
thorough. "Scaly legs" is caused by
mutans, which penetrates beneath ths
epidemic scales on the legs and feet.
Some birds are more susceptible to 1t
than others, possibly because ths
scales grow tighter on their legs.
Turkeys, pheasants, some cage birds,
as well as other birds, are attacked by
it, but water fowls are considered
immune. The disease is contagious:
Energetic measures are necessary.
Isolate all affected birds. Clean the
houses thoroughly. Disinfect with
carbolated whitewash or some other
good disinfectant. Soak the legs OF
the birds in warm water containing q
little soap to loosen the scales. Re.
move these scales as far as possible
without being too severe. This will
enable the remedy to come into con-
tact with the insects, which are next
to flesh There are several good
remedies. Kerosene is good. Into
a quart measule or deep pail, nearly
filled with water, put i tablespoonful
of kerosene, and dip the legs into this,
repeating after three days, and again,
if necessary, to effect cure. But
this will bleach the legs. One part
of sulphur to ten parts of vaseline or
lard we'll rubbed into the scales is
good. Apply every other night for a
week or ten days. Some of the liquid
germicides are good. We have used
zenoleum, one part to twenty parts

A good carbolic salve is good. But
