A writer who was au eye witness to the operation says it is a magnificent yet painful sight to witness the ope rations in one of those redwood for ests. Yon stand in the midst of vs.st trees, so close together that there id a ! dim religious light around you, like that- of a cathedral. This delusion is furthered by the apparent regularity with which many of these trees grow. You can look down a long aisle ::s if it were a grained arch of a cathedral roof and the only thing which un deceives yon is, on looking up far above your head, to see rifts or blue sky between the branches. But you are suddenly startled by a long cry of warning, which follows the rhythmic chopping sound of the ax and the swish of the saw. It is the woodman, and his melancholy cry jiortends the fall of a mighty tree. There is a long and labored groaning sound; it is the tree breaking away from the friendly base which has held it, per haps for ages. Then there is the sharp "crack." The tree litis snap ped in twain. The mighty mass trembles slightly for a moment, then inclines in the direction toward which the practiced woodman has designed it to fall. It topples it falls. There is an awful crashthe falling tree is smiting the branches from a fellow tree which stands upright, but not for long. There is a sound like a peal of thunder the tree has struck the ground. The earth trembles for rods around, as if there were an earthquake; there is a cloud or dust, and all is over. The redwood is a most valuable kind of timber. It is very slow to bum, and if ignited is easily extin guished. It is very heavy and very dense in fiber, yet very easy to work, splitting with the utmost accuracy and yielding to the saw, chisel, etc. with the utmost case. When polished it makes a most handsome wood for interior fittings, and many of the finest, houses in California arc fitted with the wood in its polished state. The ilcanins: of the Wonl Christmas. The termination "mass"' is derived from the Saxon maesse. which means a feast. Hence our word "mess." Some think it is a pure Saxon word, others that it is derived from the Latin niissa, signifying the dismissal of an assembly, and afterwards the assembly so dismissed. It passed into a termination for the great fes tivals of the church on which the feast of the holy communion was cele brated. The word "mass is the technical word in the Roman Catholic Church for the holv communion. Christmas, then, means the feast or services on the day of Christ s birth 'I have seen the sea lashed into furj- and tossed into spray, and its grandeur moves the sonl of the dullest man; but I remember that it is not the billows but the calm level of the sea from which all heights and depths arc measured. When tho storm has passed and the hour of calm settles on the ocean, when the sunlight- bathes its smooth surface, then the astronomer and surveyor takes the level from which he measures all terrestrial hights and depths."

''There can be no question as to that," said Dr. P . who is prominently connected in a certain hospital, to hi friend, the Hmi'c Surgeon, as the two rat having a ?tnoho and quiot chat in the- reception room iu?e on a recent stormy night" no question at all.' Ever sinco I began practice in that little country village you've heard mo speak of, away up near Lake Ontario, t' :rty yei.r3 ago, I havo feltin common with other physicians tho need of a reliable plaster. There aro so many di-oases if, indeed, the mrjority do not come under tho rule for which a good external application is better than remedies poured into a patient's stomach. That's so, Doctor, and to iiow you my faith in your theory, I may fay that sinco 1 have held my position here, I have opposed tho idea of dosin? people, except in casw when wo wore at our wit's end and it seemed to be that or nothing. Some soothing application , if the patient needs anything, combined with rest and good nursing, will do tho bujinci.5 savowhero cases of accidents require heroic treatment." "1 say. Doctor," said tho other, "you can speak of it. or not, just as you like, but in my private practice, when 1 want anything of the sort 1 use BENSON'S CAPCINE POR OUS PLASTER. It's a proprietary tbins of cours. but it is by all odds tho be?t plaster I havo come acro?.. It is Fcicntifically pre pared, quick in taking hold. ure to relieve whe e relief is possible, and as neat a3 wax to handle, it is just the pi rfect flower of all tii t has ever been hone in that line. I hap pen to know, too, that it is being rapidly in troduced In the principal hospitals of London Paris, and other leading citio of Hnropo." "You needn t fret, my friend," laughed tho Houso Surgeon, over tho chanco of boing caught in an act of piofesional heterodoxy, for wo uso Hcnson's hero every day, and so they do at the other city hospiUds. Wo find i'.fo much better than liniintnts. lotion?. ,Vc, that tho bottles aro actually getting scarce in tho houso " Benson s plasters are prepared from an im prove! formula by distinguished physicians and chemist? to meet a want felt for yea s.
