P Luinmis. A RUN FOR LIFE. Tho term of school ended about tho first of December. My uncle was at tho lime carrying on lumbering ojierations forty miles from home, on tho outlet of Lake Vinil)i;osliisli, ono of tho lakes which form tho headwaters of tho Mis sissippi river, lie invited mo to join him at the end of the school term. 1 had never been in a lumbering camp, and determined to spend a month or two in the pine woods with him. There was line hunting deer, foxes, muskrats, lynxes and other animals in the region. In the settlement where 1 had been teaching there was n young Norwegian, Lars Bjork, two or three years older than I, who had trapped and hunted about Winibigoshish for several years. lie was a skillful woodsman, and a thoroughly good hearted young man. strong, sturdy and intelligent. Ho hail been a chopper at tho camp through the autumn, but as he thought that he could earn more money nt tranping and hunt ing, my uncle willingly let him off, and acquiesced in my plan to accompany him for a trip of a few weeks around the foot of Wimbigoshish, twenty miles above tho camp, lie also offered us a spare mule. liingo bv name to haul our out lit. It was tiie middle, of December when wo started out from camp. It was a long day's tramp. It was getting late when wo arrived nt tho place settled upon for a cam). Nothing could bo dono that night beyond throw ing up a temporary shelter of saplings and evergreen boughs, beneath which wo crawled with our robes and blankets, nnd with our feet to a big liro of dry pine logs slept till morning. That is to say, Lars slept, but the unusual and lonely ituation drove sleep from my eyes for i..:.ny hours. Bingo, poor boast, was hitched in a birch thicket a little way olf, where ho browsed diligently. We lost no time in selecting a sito for our winter camp. At the end of two days, with Bingo's help in drawing the logs into place, we had constructed a comfortable hut, itsehinks tightly calked with moss to keep out tho sifting snow, which, in that cold region, usually falls in fine dry crystals. Airainst the back i sido of the hut we also threw up a rough "lean to" for Bingo's accommodation. After getting our camj) in order we turned our attention to business. Lars set all tho steel traps which wo had brought. About the lake shore and along tho river he constructed "dead falls" for mink, marten and otter. A few otter had been captured by tho Norwe gian the previous winter, but they wero exceedingly shy and not abundant. For three or four week's but little enow fell. There was just enough to make tho ground excellent for t'-ncking game, and wo were successful i i securing quite a pack of fur two of th coveted otter bkins among others. We had trapped several wolves, too, which proved that there wero numbers of them about us. Vet as Iars had ex hibited fno fears concerning thcL., 1 felt none. Several times, on our long snow shoe tramps across the country, wo had caught sight of them running with great swiftness, but wo could never come near enough for a shot. At length tho snow began to como down in earnest nearly every day. Tho cold was intense. Wb had been down to mv uncle's camp onco for supplies and for tho mail, which was brought in occa sionally by one of the men. On Candlemas day wo awoko to find that n genuine blizzard had struck us. We were entirely out of meat, for gamo had been scarce on the line of our traps for several days, and wo had decided to devote this day In supplying our larder. Now there was nothing for it but to 6tay in shelter till tho storm was over. For threo days and nights tho galo blustered and howled through tho treo tops above our hut, whirling tho 6now in such thick clouds us nearly to smother one out of doorb. We dared not venture, two rods from the hut, for fear of never finding our way back through tho blind ing drift. Tho cold was almost unbearable. With all our efforts, wo could scarcely keep from freezing. Fortunately, wo had prepared a supply of wood only a few yards from I ho door, and by turns wo went through tho drifts, dug out an arm ful, and guided by tho othor'a voice, crawled back to tho hut, with hair and clothes and eyes pelted full of enow. Even with all tho firo wo could keep, I was obliged to wrap myself in ono of tho bulTalo robes, and crouch in a corner nearest tho t-tove. Lars, a true son of tho north, and ac customed to fierco blizzards, kept busy mending our clothes, traps und "skees, or snow skates, hiich as aro used in his 6now bound native country, and whistled merrily, while tho wild wind sent littlo eddied of snow whirling through tho chinks into his yellow hair. Tho fourth morning dawned bright nnd clear. Tho weather had moderated, but tho snow lay four feet deep over tho vholo country. Our littlo hut was nearly burled, and bo hard wero tho drifts packed that I, who was about forty pounds lighter in weight than Lars, couia run over mem unywnere. Tho Norwegian would now and then slump through tlicm. 1 But tho cold weather had given us tre mendous appetites, and our diet had been Tory tamo. Vo knew tliat animals could , not have moved about much lu tho deep enow during tho lung 6torm, and that j they niUkt huro become famished. Ac cordingly, wo thought tliat now gamo of , ill eoru would bo iittir. ! After on t-urly breakfast, we started , out on our tku', vv'1'1 ' tre made of i I osli. tlvcor six feet long, very narrow, turn, and smooth as glass, lhev were bound to the foot bv straps, and with them one accustomed to their uso can skim over tho snow with great swift ness. Although I was thoroughly at homo on ice skates, it was some time. with Lars teaching, Iwforo 1 could keep pace wiin nun After cettinc a little wav back from the lake the country was oikii. with the exception of strips "of timber lordcring me streams. i ion the Hanks ot two ot theso we decided to set some of tho traps, which had been taking nothing alxmt the lake for several days. In the afternoon 1 started a doe, in a oroail strip of timber, near n creek. As it bounded oil over tho snow I fired, but missed. Scarcely had the report been heard when mv companion's rifle cracked, and at tho same moment 1 heard him cry out sharply, as if in dis tress. Much alarmed I hastened in tho di rection of the sounds and found that a most distressing accident had happened. The doe had run toward Lars, who, while skimming along to get a nearer and more ellective shot, hail broken through tho snow which had drifted oyer some small shrubs. His rifle was discharged as he fell forward, and the bullet had entered his left ankle, mak ing a terrible wound. Lars Bjork was a man of much cour age and as stoical as an Indian, but tho pain was so creat that he swooned dead away. I, on my part, was so overcome that lor a moment 1 lost my head entire ly and could no nothing. But Lars soon recovered consciousness and instructed me how to bandage tho limb and stop the flow of blood. How to get him to camp was tho next question. In this matter, too. Lars' brain was more fertile than mine. Some sort of hand sled, ho declared, must bo im provised, anil I must go to cam), which was about threo miles distant, after tho ax, augur and ropes. I disliked to h ave him alone, in his distress, but there was no other way; so, after providing him with a bed of boughs. 1 started off, and as I had now become expert in tho use of those won derful skees, in less than an hour 1 had made the trip and was back again. Obeying Imh direction. I now cut two birch saplings, having natural crooks, for runners, and smoothed them off with the ax. Then 1 bored holes and put in cross bars. Upon these 1 laid boughs and ono of the robes which I had brought f rom camp. The sled was now ready, and my wounded compan ion managed to crawl upon it. The load was not very heavy after getting under way over tho smooth, hard snow. We went on at a good puce and had accomplished half a mile from the place where tho accident occurred, when chancing to look back, I saw four or five animals about the spot, scram bling and apparently fighting 'with each other. I mentioned it to Lars. With an effort ho turned to look back. "They'io wolves," ho said. "Get to cam) as fast as you can!" The brutes had sneaked from some covert in the timber as soon as wo had started, and wero licking tho blood off the snow. They might even have been in pursuit of tho doe, the cause of our misfortune. As wo had frequently seen them, while out trapping, I did not at first feel much alarmed. But soon a series of prolonged ! howls from behind warned us that, mad dened by extreme hunger and tho tasto of blood, tiiey wero in pursuit, and tliat others wero joining in the chase, coining out from the timber as we hurried along. I glanced at Lars. His face was very white, but ho grasped his riflo firmly. I now fully realized our peril, and put forth my utmost elfort. The country was half-open here. I had heard that it is the habit of wolves, when in large numbers, to try to surround their prey. I was certain that was what they meant to do if thev could come up wiiu us. .Moreover i soon lounu that they were gaining in spite of my exertions. Wo had covered hardly more than a mile and a half of the distance, when in going over some concealed shrub, wliero tho snow was shallow, tho sled broko through anil throw mo down. I thought it was all over with us then, but I was not entangled, nor was any thing broken, and scrambling to my feet, I jerked the sled out of tho snow and was off again in a twinkling. But tho howls of tho lack had como fearfully nearer. "Fly to cam), mine friend! Fly to camp! Don't mind me!" tho bravo Nor wegian now exclaimed, as we dashed along. "They'll have us both. But drop mo and you can get to tho cam)." "Firo back into them!" I panted, for I felt ready to drop. Lars managed to turn around and dis charged his riflo, and at this unexpected saluto tho oncoming pack halted for a moment. This gave us n littlo time and I made tho most of it, yet wo had not gone fifty yards farther beforo tho troop wero again in full cry, and although ho continued to tire as fast as ho could re load, tho ravenous brutes now paid no attention to tho reorts. But at last, as it chanced, with his final cartridge he hit one of tho foremost of tho pack. Tho creature fell, and im mediately the others set upon him after tho manner of wolves. This agai.i gave us a littio start. Yet they quickly toro their wounded fellow to pieces nnd wero after us again, moro greedy than ever, beforo wo had got out of their sight among tho scattered timlcr. Then I thought of n fox which wo had trapped, and 1 had tossed under the robe beside Lars, at starting. "That fox!" I gasped. "Pitch that outl" Overboard went the precious gray fox. Then on on on, for iifo again. But wo wero within twenty rods of camp now, and with a fresh spurt I dashed for tho door, and reaching it, rsn Inside, sled niid all. at ono final leap. Tho door was clammed to and barred; and mad at our escaw-, tho hungry crea tures dashed themselves against it, like a foaming sea wave. But wo were safe I dropped upon tho camn floor exhausted. Till nearly midnight tho famished anl-! mats raged about tno nut. Then a littlo later wo heard a sudden and mo3t op palling outcry. But it was ua quickly hushed. Tho wolves had broken into tho "lean to." Poor Bingo! Thcrn was nothing L-tt of him to tell of his fate. In tho morning all was quiet. I took Lars, who had iniseod a night of agony, on tho kled, and again set off down tho river toward my uncle's camp, which wo readied ulxmt noon. Tho Norwegian was taken home, and ultimately recov ered.

TALKING MACHINES. THE GRAPHOPHONE IN ACTUAL USE AND DOING GOOD WORK. The Opinion ot h C.ciitlcinuti Who V.ui' plnjn Ono at UN WorL It In Supenoi to.the Steimcriipliet In Some Casvi lion It Is Unit Six Minnie' Solid Talk. Any one who doub;s the usefulness of the phonograph or graphophouc, both devices now being under the same man agement and Ixith presenting the best features of the separate devices of Bell and Edison, needsbut to wander through a few Wall street law ollices in order to l convinced that (he talking machine, by whatever name it is called, has come to stay. It is in daily use at the ofllce of Braytbn Ives, Sweet iV: Co., Haines Bros., ard inmanyotbei less prominent houses. Tho real business in talking machines, however, has not yet begun. Such in struments as aro to bo found in use are owned by persons interested in the com pany. Nono are to be sold. They will Ik) rented at $-10 a year upon the same system as that adopted by the telephone Kx))le. no Moitr. ru.Ncit and judy. "There you see it," said this gentle man, lifting a cover about half the size of a sewing machine cover from a cor ner of his desk. "It takes up no room and is always ready to take dictation." The graphophouc is about the size of a sewing machine, which it slightly re sembles. A cylinder of hardened wax is revolved by a small electric motor con nected with a battery if thero is no elec tric current at hand. In the Mills build ing the motor is run by a wire from the electric lump, with wh'ieh the ollices are supplied. Tho principlcof thoupparatus is stiil that of the old ICdison phonograph of IS"). The sound of the voice causes a minute diaphragm bearing a line needle point on its under sido to vibrate. As a wax cylinder ten inches long and two inches in diameter revolves, the needle point indents tho wax according to tho vibrations of the diaphragm, making a long spiral lino around the cylinder, which; as it revolves, travels from right to left. In order to get a reproduction of sound a species of sounding board is adjusted, and the needle is made to pass icam over the indentations it has made. As it scrapes along the "sounding" dia- iiiiiigui gives mini :i lepioiiiiewou, more or less period, ot tho original words talked into the instrument. In the first Edison phonograph of twelve years ago tho instrument gave out a caricature of what was said to it; if one knew what had been said or sung into it it was easv enough to make sense out of the phono graph's Punch and .Judy talk, but not otherwise. The changes have been in the direction of improving the quality of the sound and its distinctness, rather than volume. As it may bo heard to day the phonograph's message or repro duction is more distinct than ono from a telephone in first class order and under favorable conditions. And when (ho telephone "talks" well it talks very well. COMI'AKKI) WITH STENOGRAPHY. That instrument has been thero nearly a month," continued the lawyer. it has saved me davs ot labor. Wiien lam ready to dictate a brief or a con- tract -1 touch this littlo spring, which sets i no ntacninery in motion; out bo noiseless is it that unless you put your ear close to tne motor you cannot hear it at all. I take this phone or mouthpiece and talk into it just as 1 would do with a telephone, using my natural voice, and talking just as fast as I please, which you cannot do with a telephone. If the machine is allowed to inn, tho cylinder will bo used up at tho end of six minutes, but whenever I como to the end of a paragraph I want to think a moment, or whenever 1 am interrupted a touch stops it. In this way a cylinder represents six minutes of 'solid' talk, or about 1,000 words. The work of putting on another cylinder takes about u second, and then 1 can go on. When my work is d(:io my typewriter takes my cyl inders, puts them on his phonograph and writes out from tho dictation, mak ing tho instrument go aa fast or as slow as ho wishes. "Now as to the advantages of tho ma chine over a stenographer. In tho lirst place no stenographer can go as fast as I like to talk; 1 have to wait at every sen tence for the stenographer to catch up. .Sometimes tho stenographers aro busy. rn i i. : . i r.i mo iiuiiiiiiijiii i uiH.itu reauy, unu does not mind any rato of speed the faster tho better. In tho next place even a good stenographer, especially if hur ried, makes blunders, substitutes one word for another which looks like it, or skips words. Tho phonograph repeats every syllable just as you gavo it. Tho typewritten transcripts of my phono graph dictation aro more perfect than when my typewriter had to uso his own notes. Of course, thero aro somo disad vantages. When you wish to change a word or u sentence you have to give tho necessary direction at tho end of the message; It will not bo long, however, beforo somo method of erasing will bo devised. As compared to dictating directly to tho typewriter operator, you can speak threo times as fast and not vo loud, for you do not have to bo heard above the rattlo of the typewriter. Ono little point will show vou how valu able tho graphophono will become. I havo a machine at my home in tho coun try. In tho eveuings I do a great deal of work in my library, and very often I have to make long quotations from books which 1 havo at homo, but of which 1 liavo no duplicates ut the office. Conse quently, beforo tho graphophono came, I had to indicate in my brief where 1 wanted the quotation to begin und end, and then 1 had to carry these books down to tho oillco for my operator to cony from. "With tho graphophono It ia to easy to rattlo olf a page or two of print that L do to and uvoid taking my hooks ot of my library.

Of late years, however, in tierniany and France' tho progress of electricity has changed all tins. In theso countries uterine polypi are removed by means of the galvano-caustie uattery wunoui tne loss of a single drop of blood. I'torino fibtoid tumors, which formerly necessi tated one of the most dangerous and bloody cutting operations, are operated upon "by means of the electrolytic bat tery, a "treatment which instantly stops the bleeding from them, and will dis solve and bring to absorption tumors weighing twenty pounds and more with out causing any loss of blood.

Thus dangerous cutting operations are replaced by electric operations that in experienced hands, but only in those, are perfectly harmless.
