Among the Loggers.
Few persons who are not in the’
habit of being xsme way actually
engaged ia the lumber business]
have any adequate idea of the mag- ’
nitride of the industry, and none:
who have not been with the loggers
in the great pine woods of lho'
nartlnvest, an 1 also seen the actu- j
al hauling, “■driving,” and sawing!
ot the logs, can realize the wonder-!
i
ful picluresquenoss of a traffic
which, as the scientists tell us, is
rapidly changing the faceot nature
and the very climate of our coun
try.
The men who do the “logging"’
are a race of giants. More than al
most any other, their work calls
for a giant’s strength And for al
most superhuman powers of endur
ance. They are not long lived. The
exposures and hardships of the call
ing are enough to break down the
hardiest constitution, Ttnd lhetem
tation to dissipation after a winter
iti ermp are as strong as those that
assail the sailor after a long cruise.
Winter is the time for the camp
work, for only over the snow can
the great logs, perhaps half a ton
in weight, be easily dragged from
where they fall to the waterway
down which they are to be floated
to the mill, on the spring freshets.
The northern winter is severe
enough, the cold being often twen
ty degrees or more below zero, but
it is in the spring that the greatest
perils and hardships are encoun
tered. riien, the great logs having
been drawn by hcrses ®r oxen, or
in same places over rude railroads,
from the neighborhood of the camp
to the “banking-ground,” on the
banks of the stream which is to car
ry them to the mill, tho “drive”
begins, and this is the hardest of
the work. The sun lias not yet
loosened the bands with which the
frost tied up the water, and the
logs as well, and dynamite is often
used to break them. A confused
mass of logs and floating ice is
started down the stream, and the
men follow' it, watching closely for
jams and direlects, and for days to
gether, with very little rest, guide,
force, and control the floating mass.
A jam is often perilous in the ex
treme, and the promptest action is
necessary te prevent delays, for if
the pressure of the whole drive
comes upon a gorge, it is Hercu
lean work to break the combina
tion.
So in freezing cold water waist
deep, or clambering over the logs
themselves in mid-stream, the log
gers wrestle with obstructions, tak
ing their lives in their hands heur
]y. For five or six weeks they trav
el thus, with no camp, n© change
of clothing, and as little in the way
<>f luggage as possible. Stiff and
• ore from over-exertion and the
terrible soaking in ice- water, they
sleep in their blankets on the
ground at night, with only the com
fort of a rousin g boil-fire between
them and the slep from which is
no waking. It is sometimes almost
impossible tor oae of them to rouse
the others in the morning; but the
driv-e is on, and there is no rest for
them until lhe “boom” is reached,
into which their logs are delivered,

The Curious Bibles.
The curious Bibles is a general
name given certain editions of the
Bible, whi:h are prized by biblio
maniacs, not for any intrinsic val
ue, but because they centain cer
tain odd misprints ©r mistransla
tions. Foremost among them is the
Breeches Bible, so called because
in the third chapter of Genesis it
speaks of Adam and Eve as having
“made themselves breeches” of fig
leaves. This edition first appear
ed in 1500, in quarto form, and we
©we it to the English reformers ex
iled at Geneva. During the reign
of Queen Elizabeth it served as the
regular family Bible, its populari
ty being largely due to the Calvin
istic comments that liberally be
sprinkled the margin. The Bug Bi
ble. which appeared in London in
1551, and was originally known as
Matthew’s Bible, is indebted for its
curious sobriquet to the fact that
the fifth verse of the ninety-first
Psalm is translated, “So lliou shalt
not need to be afraid for any buggs
by night.” The original idea-ofthe
word—a goblin or spook—is still
to be traced in bogie, bugbear, bug
aboo.
Theodore Parker said tha! the
democracy that was not that which
said, “I am as good as you are,”
but that which said, “You are as
good as I am.”

Ayer’s Sarsaparilla,
after a trial of nearly half a century, is
universally conceded to he tho best ever
discovered. It is agreeable to tho taste,
and, being highly concentrated, only
small doses are needed.
An old lady of eighty, Mrs. Mary C.
Ames, of Itoekport, Me., after forty years
of suffering from a humor in the hlooil,
manifesting itself in Erysipelas and oth
er distressing eruptions on the skin, at
last began tho use yf Ayer’s Sarsaparilla,
and, after taking tfm bottles, she is now,
sine says, “as smooth and fair as ever.”
Frank .Tones, 952 Eighth ave., New
York, writes : I suffered from impuri
ty of the blood, which showed itself in
troublesome eruptions and mattery
pimples on my face, neck, etc. Ayer’s
Sarsaparilla effected a complete cure.
I had previously tried many reputed
blood-purilioi-S without benefit.” *
