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. nara tip, Dad—You are a regular rolling stone, my son.

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.

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.

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.

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.
