insane jealousy. If | merely spoke
pleasantly to the postman he would
fly into a passion, and almost the first
thing he asked me was whether I'd

Queen Margherita, 1t IS claimed, is

there was really less love between the
mountain-climbing duke and the
charming daughter of West Virginia'a

smoke there must have been a little
fire, at least. There is not particle
of doubt in the minds Of many that
the duke was hot-foot to marry Miss
Elkins, but there seems to be more Of

feelings for her titled suitor. Be that

extreme length on the back ia less

Away up IN Klamah county, Ore.
gon, are located vast forest belts and
the lumber industry is maintained on
a very extensive scale. Many of these
heavy timber belts are remote from
either railway lines, or even logging"
roads Huge logging carts are eX-
tensively used in these regions in
hauling the big heavy saw cuts from
the forest depths to the various mills,
where they are reduced to lumber.
They are all two-wheeled, and con-
structed so as to sustain a very heavy
weight. The wheels are about IL
feet in diameter, length Of axletree
Z feet The hub, spokes, axletree and
felloes are all built Of very tough,
solid wood-usually of oak or hickory;
however, the tire is of thick broad
steel.
The log, or logs, are suspended to
the axletree by a heavy chain, and
nearly balanced-the hind ends barely
dragging, so as to greatly reduce the
force in hauling. Horses and oxen
are both used IN this logging business,
and as many animals as may be re-
quired may be attached to one cart.
The wheels are so large that they
move with comparative ease over
large distractions, and along very
rough, mountainous roads. It would
be next to impossible to carry on the
lumber industry in those wild regions
without the use of these huge logging
carts, as they are called. These carts
are the largest vehicles Of the kind
on the Pacific coaster perhaps in
the United States. The cart alone
weighs nearly a ton.

Woman's Faithfulness.

are more faithful than men-ten times
more faithful I never saw man
pursue his wife into the very ditch
and dust Of degradation and take her
IN his arms. I never saw a man stand
at the shore where she was wrecked,
waiting for the waves to bring back
her corpse to his arms, but / have
seen a woman with her white arms
lift a man from the mire Of degrada-
ton and hold him to her bosom as If
he were an angel.--Ingersoll
