Locgiog Railroad!,
Time was when the logs were drawn
over roads of snow and ice on the great
rude sledges to the banks of some river,
drawn out on the ice and left until the
springtime, when they would be floated
down stream to the mills In some
places the system is still in vogne. but
in large measure all this has been
changed. Logging railroads have been
built into the forests, enabling the own
ers of pine lands to reach forests far
from any stream. Spurs from the main
branch of the road are built out like the
fingers on an enormous hand clutching
at the defenseless pines. After a tortu
ous passage through the paths of the
woods the log is loaded npon the skid
way—an incline leading down to the
railway track. The skids are long,
tough poles of tamarack or some hard
wood, placed about 20 feet apqrt.
The logs easily roll down on these
skids and are drawn by horses up on the
short, wide freight cars, and as fast as
one car is loaded another takes its
place, until a train of perhaps 30 cars
is made up The road is a very rough
one, and the trains are supplied with
the best of airbrakes, for the grades are
steep, and great care must be exercised
or the trains will break in two and
disaster and possibly loss of life will
follow if a part of one of the trains
breaks away and starts down the grade.
“Mountain climbers, “ the powerful en
gines in use in mining regions, are a
part of the equipment of a logging rail
road.—“ The Story of a Pine Board,”
by W 8 Harwood, in St Nicholas.

Leo Congratulate* Moraes ou the futile
Attempt to Take His Life.
New York, Nov. 13.—A dispatch to
The Herald from Rio de Janeiro says:
Several persons arrested on suspicion of
connection with the alleged plot to kill
President Moraes have been released,
as no evidence has been found against
them. Many are held, however, as se
rious evidence against them has been
found and several others have been
arrested. c
The pope has sent a cable message of
congratulation to President Moraes on
his narrow escape from death by assasi
natiou. The minister of foreign affairs
of Brazil has sent a note to the Italian
charge d’ affairs, stating that the shoot
ing of several Italians in Spiritu Santo
will be investigated, and Italy’s demand
for redress considered.
A Great Authority on Evolution.
There is a sketch of “A Great Natu
ralist, ” the late Edward Drinker Cope,
in The Century. It is written by Henry
Fairfield Osborn. Professor Osborn says:
His pioneer exploration came early in
the age of Darwinism, when missing
links not only in the human ancestry,
but in the greater chain of backboned
animals, were at the highest premium.
Thus he was fortunate in recording the
discovery in northwestern New Mexico
of by far the oldest quadrupeds known,
in finding among these the most vener
able monkey, in describing to the world
hundreds of links—in fact, whole chains
—of descent between the most ancient
quadrupeds and what we please to call
the higher types, especially the horses,
camels, tapirs, dogs and cats. He labor
ed -successfully to connect the reptiles
with the amphibians, and the latter
with the fishes, and was as quick as a
flash to detect in the paper of another
author the oversight of some long
sought link which he had been await
ing. Thus in losing him we have lost
our ablest and most discerning critic.
No one has made such profuse and over
whelming demonstration of the actual
historical working of the laws of evolu
tion, his popular reputation perhaps
resting most widely upon his practical
and speculative studies in evolution.

Washington, Nov. 13.—Postmaster
E. T. Page of Redwater, Tex, will be
retained by this administration, and ail
because of the birth of quadruplets and
twins in his family.
Eleven years ago he was given the
postoffice, but when General Clarkson
became assistant postmaster general,
in the Wanamaker administration, an
effort was made to replace the postmas
ter with a candidate of the Republican
party. Many applications for the place
were filed, but Page appealed for reten
tion, citing that his wife had just pre
sented him with bouncing quadruplets,
and tiiat twice before twins had been
born to them. This settled the case.
General Clarkson deciding not to re
move the incumbent.
The case has now come up again and
a number of candidates have sought the
place. But Page has again protested
that the successful raising of three of
the quadruplets and two sets of twins
entitled him to some consideration, and
sent photographs of the three surviving
quadruplets, now almost young ladies.
Assistant Postmaster General Bristow
conferred with Postmaster General Gary
and the two decided that there shomd
be no change in the office.

Cincinnati, Nov. 13.—The Commer

game between two high school clubs in
this city, those of Hughes’ High school
and Walnut Hills High school, in which
there was a riotous free fight. Each
school had its high school banner. Some
one fired a Walnut Hills banner and
held the blazing flag aloft. Theu fol
lowed a competition iii burning banners
and this diversion ripened into a con
test with fists and clubs in which the
votaries of each school participated.
'At first it was chiefly in front of the
grand stand, where it appeared so inno
cent that the police present did not in
terfere. It was back of the grand stand,
however, that serious business was
transacted. There one player was lain
out unconscious for several minutes
from a blow on the head by a fence
board, another got a broken nose from
a brickbat, while a great many cam/

A builder-up of the “Nerve Forces”

Curryville, Gordon County, Ga..
December 19, 1896.
This is to certify that I have suf
fered with a cancer for twenty years
and have paid out to doctors more
than I can ftell. I went to Atlanta to
Dr. Devine, then to Dr. Huebachor,
then to Dr McCall. It was then as
targe as my fist. He cut it out and it
healed up. The last summer was a
year ago it broke out again, and was
about as big as a dollar. I went back
to Rome to Dr. McCall. He would not
treat it any more. I got me a quart of
he water and bathed the cancer in it,
and in a few days the scab came off
and it began to heal. Then I got some
more, and today I am well and can
thankfully recommend this Mineral
Rock to all suffering from cancers or
ulcers. It will certainly cure you. It
is a God-send to the human family and
suffering human ty. It will certainly
convince all that try it.
