Its promoturs have grown ;ened conic top, duly balanced as to Warsaw, "Wis. Their time was passed in trapping and cutting timber. Among the members of the camp was a French Canadian named Joe De Chien. One morn ing, bright and earh', Joe gathered !) his wood cutting implements, a couple of good axes and a short spike for pushing the tottering trees which had been partialy cut down, and started for the woods for a day's work. The thermome ter was several degrees below zero, but Joe was tough and hardy, and the weather caused him no incon venience. Ho worked steady, and soon had cut several trees, but owing to the closeness with which they grow none of them fell, and Joe was at a loss how to knock the pile down. He finally spied a huge hemlock, which stood about twenty feet away, and ho resolved to cut Jt down so as to fall upon the ' others, thus carrying thorn all to ' away those of the Northwest, the ground. He chopped the tree j The monopolists of San Francisco until it was ready to fall, but it as well as those of Chicago, grow evinced a desire -to fall the wrong rich at the expense of the public, way. .loe fitted his spike into the In the meantime the forests perish, tree, and began slowly cutting And their destruction is accelera vrith one hand.

Joe managed to open the blade with his fingers which were benumbed with cold. He then drew himself up until he could reach his leg and be-an cutting the flesh, he cut the flesh away, but the cords still kept him suspended. "With a last effort he gave a slash at the cords, they parted and he fell. Ho struck in a snowdrift and was not hurt. He i arose to his feet, or rather his foot and his stump, and binding a piece of his coat about the wound he walked five miles to camp. There j was no snrgeon there, and after j eating a hearty supper he was placed in a bob-sled and driven twenty miles to the nearest settle- ment. The wound was dressed, and a month and a half afterward Joe was around as lively as ever. An Eastern View of the Pacific Coast Lumber Trade. The mills situated on Puget Sound supply, with the exception of the redwood a large portion of the lumber consumed in the Pacific states. These mills are largely owned by San Francisco , capitalists, and are joined an an association formed to regulate the production and sustain the price of lumber. Mills which do not belong to the association are hired to.lie idle, and the association find it profitable to sustain prices, at tho cost of thousadds of dollars a month paid out in this way. The profits of such an enterprise are of course large. It is well known that this lumber, monopoly bear U; rich at the expense of public pros - perity. North of the forty-ninth degree of latitude, the boundary between the United States and the Dominion of Canada, the coast which certainly seem equal to any j forests of Gr are not less product-j spruce in the Known world. Typi ive and valuable than those south cally, this tree is pyramidal, 100 to of it. At Barrard's Inlet, audi 150 feet hijjh, and from -two to other points on the coast of British Columbia, there are large and well-equipped mills. The consumers of lumber, however, in the United States receive no bpnc- fit from these mills situated north of the boundary, or from the magnificent forests of British Columbia, because of a duty of $2 a thousand feet, which; in the case of the Pacific Coast is practically prohibitory, is imposed upon lum ber entering the United States The policy which has destroyed the forests of Michigan, Wiscon- sin and Minnesota is sweeping j a premium on the devastation of the country. JV. T. Post. .Pacific Silver Spruce. Concerning the botanical ter minology of this tree, a botanist makes the following cemments: The name spruce, as contradis- languished from fir, in common parlance, imnlios that the trees the scales anil their appendages persistently hold together and fall off at onco. when ripe, like many pine rones; also, that when the flat, two sided and two rowed ' leaves fall off thej leave the sharp, j woody like base or foot stalk 1 prominent, and no spirally ar-j rnrifwwl Vnrl- civirc e: in fi nnl ' pines; and as the cones do not stand upright like birds upon the upper boughs near the top, and fall to pieces at maturity, of course they leave no naked, spindle shaped, woody axis still perched on the place where they grew, as the firs do, and the bark never blisters in spruces. This spruce is l3f far the most cheerful and silvery of all conifers of the Pacific coast. The idealis- tic t3pe of early growth is found in the high Sierras, from 7,500 to 10,000 feet altitude in California, and about G,000 in Oregon. The tree is elegant and spiry, branch ing more broadly from the base. The clouded wealth of c'.usterinjr foliage, with waving and surging spray, sends back the silvery Might and shadows to the greatest possible advantage. The middle sized cones are perfectly sym metrical and smooth, from two to three inches long, about three quarters of an inch broad, purple and softly bloom-tinted, hang singly or in clusters, and the slen der twigs, thus bowing to their weighty burden, are exquisitely ornamental. Many of these trees in the closer forests are tall and 'slender, from 72 feet to more than 10Ufeet in hight, and often irregu larly branched, but they are al ways graceful and never formal. On open borders, with greater freedom for development, they are both grand and graceful the finest of all spruces. The sturdy, elegant trunk, of rather even, red dish brown bark, is remindful of the sugar pine. The column often : lines of beauty up to 150 feet or J even 200 feet. Tho ! witnessed are Ht the the Sierra Nevada best types summits of mountains 'four feet threugh: but in hijrh umuiucs vi vamoriiia, sav o,uuu t to 10,000 feet, is often only a' shrub. In the noith latitudes of, the Cascades to near Crescent City, it comes down almost to the coast in due form. N. W. Lum berman. John Tobin's "Watch. A familiar figure in Wall street is that of s that of John Tobin, now an old . , ,; ... nan prematurely old with bent man prcmaturelv form and grizzled beard, a wrinkled j face and hard, steel blue- eycs.i Once one of the great men of the street, he is to-dav a noor man. Ho was worth at the height of his i fortune about $3,000,000. Too great greed ruined him. He was always waiting to hit the bull's eye, to sell at the very top, and this the speculator never attains except by accident. After Tobin broke, Commodore Vanderbijt bought 5,000 shares of Central, for him they showed a profit of j oiuvjww, uui iuuiu iiuug uut lor more and lost all.
