CHOPPING DOWK A TREE.

Iescription of tho Iroces as Practiced la the Halite Woods. The chopper works -upon, one bended knee. Before beginning to cut, he has looked to see which way the tree is inclined. For this She steps back a short distance to where he can see to its very tap. If he is in doubt he lifts his axe by the end of the helve and lets it hang freely suspended. This give him a plumb line by which he measures the inclination of the tree. But it is not enough to determine in what direction the tree will fall most readily. It may be that large trees are standing right in the way of its falling on thai side, and against these the tree will be lodged. It must be carried to the one side or the other, and herein consists one of the mysteries of woodcraft the skill to guide a tree in its fall. He will direct it with the greatest ease. Having decided where he wants It to go to avoid the risk of lodging against other trees, or of being broken by falling on uneven ground, or to have it lie so that the logs will be convenient of removal, the chopper first undercuts the tree; that is, he cuts upon the side toward which he will have it fall, and in such a manner that the line of the kerf shall be exactly at right angles with the line along which the tree is to lie. If the tree stands nearly perpen- ' dienlar, and has no inclination to fall as he wishes, the chopper cuts a little beyond the heart on that s.de. By doing this he removes the base when the tree is ready to fall, and rests upon a base of but an inch or two in breadth, so much from the center of the stump. The effect of this will be very great in moving the base so that the center of gravity will fall on the side desired. Though he works in so cramped a posture, the chopper cuts the stump so level and so smooth -he thinks his little boy could spin his top upon it. Having undercut the tree with the greatest care, the woodman now changes his position a little, bat remains on the same side, rests on his other knee, and shifts hands, that is, wields the axe with the other hand forward. He now cuts upon the other side, leaving the stump two or three 'inches higher according as he wishes to gain advantage for the last few strokes. The work goes on with little concern until the base is no thicker than a plank and quite as even, then a blow is aimed full at the center, and the chopper looks quickly at the top to note the effect. If he perceives a tremor in the trunk, or if a bit of bark or moss is loosened from its hold, he -knows now every stroke will tell, and he aims these with the greatest precision. Soon as ever the top bows to its fall he marks the direction in which it is moving. If he wishes to bring it more toward him he strikes blow upon the further edge; if to carry it further from him, the blow is given upon the side that is nearer. These last strokes need to be given with great nicety. If feeble, they will fail to effect their purpose; if of too great force, the tree will be severed from the stump upon that side, and then all control of it is lost at once, and it plunges blindly forward. A tall tree like the pine is broken from the stump by a force acting quite differently from that which is applied in the case of shorter trees. In its descent the pine acquires at its top a centrifugal force so powerful as to lift the tree from the stump and carry it forward five or six feet before it reaches the ground. When it does come to the earth the top and the butt strike at the same time, and the tree lies half buried in the snow. Boston Transcript Seme Boston Customs fifty Tears Ago. Forty or fifty years ago when Boston's streets were silent after the 9 o'clock bells had ceased ringing, and were deserted at 10 except by the few people returning home from the Tremont or Warren theater, those who had retired to bed were wont to hear a deep "melodious cry in the quiet of the night "Oys! oi-i-se! byenny. Oisel "Here's Oys; buy enny oise-UysI This was the cry of the oysterman, who, with two tin cans swung by a yoke over his shoulders, perambulated the streets crying his merchandise. Oyster saloons were few and far between, and the delicious bivalve could not be obtained at every hotel and cafe as at present. So it was the custom to call in the oysterman as he came aroffnd at about 9 p. m., buy a quart of his merchandise and have it cooked over the big wood fire in the kitchen, in- fragrant stew for an evening feast. The oysterman's cry wa s said once to have awakened a newly arrived conn-' tryman at a city hotel, who hearing the stentorian, "Oys! buy any Oys!" shouted out in the street, roused his room-mate with the inquiry of: "What's that?" "Oh, go to sleep," was the reply, "it's nothing but oysters." "Good gracious!" said the other, "do oyster holler as loud as that ?" Old Wilson, the old city crier, was a character. With his huge bell and big voice he cried all the lost children and public meetings,' and later on the fruit auctions of John Tyler that took place on India wharL When his bell was heard in the quiet, old-fashioned streets of the North end, where then were houses of dean doorsteps, polished brass door-knockers and white-draped windows, it was an event. Women came to the gate from the wash-tub, with sleeves rolled up from their steaming arms; mothers with children in their arms looked out of the front story windows; old 'ladies with their knittingwork, dragging the ball of yarn behind, came to the front door; the blacksmith with paper cap from around the corner, and bricklayer halting the clinking of his trowel that had broken the stillness of the summer air, all paused and listened for the little waif that had been lost, with a mental resolution to take better care themselves of their own , children. Wilson, like Tyler, the auctioneer, as he izrew older had a style of crying pe culiarly his own, and such that but few could understand him. With his bell in one hand and a huge pineappte, aj

It shows all ti& characteristics of the sensitive plant; When the sun sets its leaves fold jfeO gether, and the enjls of the tender twigs"Coil up like a pig-tail. If. the twigs are handled the leaves .move uifeasily for a minute or more. A singular thing concerning the tree was its apparent resentment on being removed from a pot, in which it had matured, into a much larger pot. To use the gardener's expression, it "made it very quarters before the leaves began to stand up in all directions, like the hair mad; " Hardly had it been in its new on the tail of an angry cat, and soon the whole plant was in a quiver. -. At the same time it gave out an odor most pungent and sickening, resembling the odor given off by rattlesnakes and other kinds of snakes when teased. This odor so filled the house that it was necessary to open the windows. It was fully an hour before the plant calmed down and folded its leaves in" peace. An Effort to Gull Horace Greeley. New Yorkers are occasionally duped. Horace Greely, although he "took the papers," was once sought to be victimized at the well-known "dropped pocket-book" game. The man who picked! up the book, plethoric with bogus money, right at Mr. Greeley's feet, was compelled to go out of town immediately to his sick wife, and begged the loan of $50 in advance of the award which would be offered if Mr. Greeley would keep the book. Mr. Greeley consented, and only saved himself, by taking the $50 from the book. The man remonstrated. "It will not do to touch that money," he said; "you had better give mo $50 out of your own pocket." "Bless my soul, my friend," exclaimed the innocent Horace, "I never carried as much money as that with me in my life!" The man impatiently snatched the book out of Horace Greeley's hands and hurriedly left to visit his sick wife. New York World. Norwegian Farming. Farming in the Norwegian valleys presents some unique aspects. Grain, potatoes and turnips grow in little patches. Meadow hay is carefully cut and cured on rods or ropes supported on tall poles, Ev-ry corner on which grass will grow is utilized for hay, even the little nooks among the crags, from which it is lowered to the valleys by means of ropes or wires, that nothing may be lost. The Scandinavian cows are of a peculiar national breed, and not only they, but goats, and even ewes, contribute to the cheese vats. Horses are seldom larger than mere ponies. These little animals do all the farm work, for in Norway oxen are employed for tillage. Norway is sparsely settled. Emigration is taking away its more ambitious sons and daughters. But its people are intensely patriotic, and their land contains much to delight the traveler. St. Louis GlobeDemocrat To Kaise Plants. A lady, whose beautiful plants are the delight of her life and the envy of all her acquaintances, revealed the secret of her success for the benefit of the readers of the Evening Post the other day. The soil is, she says, about two-thirds good garden soil and the rest is sand. It is kept light and loose about the roots; they are watered as they appear to need it, and not according to any particular rule; but'the chief reason for their wonderful growth and bloom is this : "When any of the leaves wither and fall, instead of picking them up and throwing them away, I make little rolls of them and tuck them down in the earth and let them decay; and this is the only fertilizer 1 have ever used. This," she added, modestly, "seems to be nature's way. And the plants that have the afternoon sun only, grow and rival those that have the morning sun." The Wide, Wide World. Lima, Beptjbwo of Pebu. Senor A. de La . Delgado, LL.D. and Counselor, Tribunal of Justice, Lima, Republic of Para, says : "One single application of St. Jacobs Oil, cured me completely of rheumatio pains in my left arm. I recommended it to two of my friends, the Mrs. Donna Juana Garcia, widow, and Mr. D, Herman Decker, a German gentleman. Madame Garcia was relieved entirely by the paih-cure from terrible neuralgic pains of ten months' stand, ing. Mr. Decker was cured of inexplicable Sins by a single application of the cure, y brother used the great remedy for a spe. cies of paralysis of the arm. He wis entirely relieved from his ailment by one or two applications, after having tried numberless other remedies without effect. "

The Cheraietry of Wi Stomach. As in the moBt delicate processes of the laboratory, it is essential that the xo-anents employed to produce chemical changes in matter should he nncontaminatcd, ro also it is imperatively' neeeesary that-the fluids of the stomach, which act chemically upon the food, should be perfectly pure. When the stomach is acid. It is because these fluids are vitiated or diluted. (Similarly, other forms of indigestion arise from a deficiency of the chemical properties of the gastric juices. The most direct and agreeable way to restore their purity and improve their quality is to take before each meal a wineglass f nil of Hodtetter's Stomach Bitters, which corrects accidity,, render digestion complete and painless, and overcome the constipation which it produces. The nervousness and weakness r suiting from chronic dyspepsia, also disappear under its influence. , Among the tombs: Stout party "Well, Pat, how's trade?"
