In tho woods, us elsewhere, tlmo goes on, mid Monday morning comes with nU its depressing blueness to such ns imvo spent tlio loisuro hours ■tace Saturduy night in riotousliviug. For ouco Frank's appetite failed him. Tho work ox beefsteak and de lectable flapjack were not to his lik ing. His. muscular neighbor noticed it and said, “Better eat sump'u, or you'll never stand it till noon." Frank felt grateful for tho consider ation, but did not act upon the ud- vioo; whereupon his friend plied him with the coffeepot saying, ( “Horo, then, drink some o’ this to ' scald out yur coppers."' But no; tho pains of a racking hoadacho and dis ordered stomach wore not to,ho .soothed by cafo noir—vory much noir and ninny tiinos warmed up—so Frank got up and went out. Ho seated himself on the bench in front of tho cookhouse to wnit for tlio others. Tho tnoruing air wus re freshing, and it enabled him to think coherently of the recont woeful oc currence. - * Ho remembered It all now—tho white fronted sulpon at tho forks in tlio road; tlio dingy, foul smelling barroom; the cheap mirror and fix tures, and the audacious pictures on the walls; the card littered floor and "iu rooking spittoons; tho click of tlm poker chips and tho quaint origin ality of some of the blasphemy. Thou tho game. How lie did win •at tho beginning, and now tho on- ■ lookers craned their necks to sco how he discarded; and when he "wont his whplo pile" on tbreo jacks, •tud some one behind remarked, in a low tone, “He's blooded, you yoiV" how a fooling of confidence nipt over him. "Thoro’s a home :o to ho won right hero and now," had said to himself. But tho itea willed it otherwise, for Lucky ib "called” him, and tho “show iwu" displayed three queens from hand of tho tatter, which ended game for Frank. But they flllod in up with "forty-rod" by wuy of consolation, tual ho struck out for oump by tho light of tho moon. Tho railroad track, ho remembered thinking, must surely he narrowor 'titan standard gauge and the ties un necessarily clesq together, and thoro was something wrong with the moon, tor she hid'herself liohind a cloud until he reached the high trestlo, when suddenly she "m,veiled her peerless light,” tbut. glittering in tlio creek lielow, startled and perplexed him. He had sat him down to eon aider ; tall these mutters, and there they,, had found him soliloquizing, with many gestures and an occasion- al apostrophe, to the inconstant moon. He remembered their help ing him homo and putting him to bed —alns! to be aroused in too short a time by the tooting of tho relentless horn. Tho retrospect ceased ns the crow filed out from breakfast. Tlio fore man stood by tho door, ond with . thnt strangely retentive memory • which many unlettered people pos- . Bess mentally registered each who went to work. Among the first . was old Josh, the filer, who took Ills position behind his bench, and with arms folded and matutinal pipe alight waited for tho .sun to climb n littlo before loginning his daily tusk - of iminting teeth and swedging rak ers. The crew, apart from the choppers and peelers, was divided into two gangs. Each gang had its comple ment of sawyers, chain tenders and L" - swampers, and each had a donkey engihe to haul the logs from their hols, where the sawyers left them, into the “snaking roods." The team took charge of them from there on, hauling from the two engines alter- nately. Farther bock in the forest ippers and peelers worked col ly for the two "outfits.” 'one of these "outfits” Frank chunks. A chunksawyership i means an exalted position wood- -butcher brotherhood; often serves ns a stepping something better. Tnedu- to cut into movable dimeu- or worthless tree may lie in the way of the roadmakers, and to remove the llgh tor obstructing debris by hand. Hu needed a sharpened saw. .Josh must he interviewed. With a long drawn sigh, ho arose and, walking wearily across the track to Where tho bench stood, mode known his wants. "How’s the country where you’re workin now?” asked the old man. "Steep," was tho brief reply. “Here’s what you want, then," handing down the implement from Its resting place against a huge stump—“astiffbacked saw for aside- ling country." Just .then the "boss” came and said; "Guess you won’t need that today. Big John’s partner’s in town, sick,* or drunk, orsumthin, an you’d better go an work in his place.” No further instructions were need ed. The opportunity had come at last. To fell a redwood hod been Frank's aim over since he hired out. D;>-vping the "stiffback" uncere moniously and forgetting all his woee, he hurried off to overtake his big friend of tho breakfast table. It is expedient to adopt, for tho time being and to a reasonable ex tent, the Bpeech and manners of those with whom our lot is oast. Frank hod learned this by hitter ex perience. His 1 ’grammar" and ‘ ’airs" had been subjected to much ridicule when first he came. He had long since dispensed with both, and, furthermore, lie now could wipe his mouth with the back of hiB hand after a meal and chew "sawlog plug” with the liest of them. He overtook his big friend at thd brow of tho hill umong the logs and rigging. Tlio donkey driver, or “en gineer," us he proudly styles him self, was busy getting up stonm, and the pulsing of tho pump.contraBted strangely with tho stillness of the morning—such stillness that tho smoke from the little engino went straight up in a bright blue cloud. Over tlio divide, in tho region beyond Jordan, the pure morning light her alded the sunrise. Out of breuth, lie began with the colloquial— "Say I" "Say it yorsclf, meson.” “Bwout Lip suys for mo to work in placo of Alec, who ain’t show'd up this morning. "Sweet Lip” was a nicknumo applied to the foretuun, on account of ills ability to hirohigh priced mon for less than standard wages. Alter an inquiry or two concern ing his absent partner, John said earnestly, "But, me sou, did yiz evor chop any?" “Suckers for skids, stringers, and the Uke o’ that." "There’s u big difference between 'hackin' down polos und 'failin' rid woods.’" Frank knew, hut he said nothing. Tlio conversation becuiuo sparse, na they had now to walk in single filo along tho choppers’ troll, and all signs of road work wore loft behind. Tho way was over fallon trees and around stumps, down ono Bide of a canyon und up tho other, ending, at lost, in the chopping at tho edge of tlio greon timber. "That 'un 'U be tho noxt.," said John, pointing to an eight foot tree .•f surpassing beauty. "She’s mid- dlin soft, un the grain is straight— you can toll that by the bnrk; an she's sound us u dollar—tlio green top shows it." "Cold, premeditated murder," Frank said to himself, and then aloud, “which way tiro you goin to scud her?" "Between them twostumps,” point ing across tho lull. "Thoro ain't no room to spare; hut if sho'sasnear plumb us I think she is, I can land ■ hor safe enough." HO took n plumb from his pocket, squinted up along the extended lino ut tho tree, and wu3 satisfied for he said, “Get Alec's ax and snipe off tlio inner corners of both them stumps while X tlx tlio bedding.” Both wore soon busy, John felling a couple of arrowy firs, which he uftorward cut up into movable lengths to be used in filling up a liol low that wus in the lino of direction, while Frank rounded off the stumps as instructed. Tho noxt thing, after the hod was made, was tho construction of tho staging or scaffold. They cut soekot holes in tho tree and inserted'the supports known as "drivers." Across, from driver to driver, the * stage boards were placed, and on theso the men now stood. Tho undercutting began when tho big man, with the corner of his ax, had scratched a lino on tho face of tlio tree to indicate tho height and extent of the notch. The fibrous, springy bnrk is hold to cut, and keen axee will often bounce back without making a risible incision. "you’ll have to hit a more slanting lick to got into it,” John said. Tho effect w;is almost disastrous. Frank mado a swipe at the tree, tho ax tire, he finds i aforesaid, and tends a "gun stick” at rig The “gun stick” is 'str slender and about four feet i t n/ltwlh'j- If with on ew of tobacco, od- ‘ i very, carefully, “ , und then reverently examined the hoy’s effects.

His plan was to roll the washboiler down the bock stairs. Mrs. Staybolt did not enter very heartily into that plot, but she lot him have tho boiler. He carried it up stairs early in the evening, nnd at 11 o’clock lie started it. It made as much noise ns though it had been a railroad through the house. Mr. Staybolt exacted in. the intense stillness that followed to hear Mr. Gigsby step out into the hall for his hat nnd overcoat, but in stead of that he heard him say to Claras "Goodness I How careless it was to leave that boiler where 1! would fall like that.

Electrifying Socle. Dr. Leicester, of Bristol, England, has been studying the. growth of seeds in earth artificially electrified. A box threo feet long by nearly three wide was filled .with choice soil. At one end a zinc plate and at the other end a copper one wore placed, and were united outside by a copper wire. They were about ono foot square. By the chemical action on the zinc plate, a current passed through tho earth toward the copper plate, and returning by tho copper wire mndo a circuit. The box was thus a very simple coll or battepr. Seeds were sown in the soil be tween the plates, and their growth was much more rapid than that of Bimilar seeds planted in a similar box, hut ono without the motal plates. Similar experiments made with gluBB tanks filled with Boil shpw sim fiar results. Hempseed, sown in an electrified glass tank, was fully an Inch high before any sprouts could he seen in unelectrified earth, was found, too, that if the doctor watered the soil with a little very dilute acetic acid the growth was much quicker in the electrified soil. —New York Ledger. —Tlmt Imniis left idle should follow « their own devices is inevitable. —A lady in Chicago asked her hus band the time, and lie threw a clock at ' her head.

The little '.children, ragged and unfed, clung about i weeping and disconsolate mother, and the day which should bring peace and joy to all promised only sorrow and wretchedness.
