BOT8 WHO BECAME FAMOrs. \ Swedish boy fell out of a window and was picked up severely hurt, but with tightened lips, he kept back the cry of pain. King Gustavus Adolphus, who saw the accident, prophesied that the boy who had Mich self control would make a man for emergencies. He was right, for the lad became the famous General Bauer. An Italian woman fell into a dock and would have been drowned but for the courage of a boy who sprang iu alter her and managed to keep her afloat till a boat came to the rescue. The spectators admired the boy's promptness and kiudness of heart, hut commented on his recklessness, w hich, they said, might have cost him his life. This boy was Garibaldi, and in considering his life one finds that these were his characteristics all through. He was so alert that no one could tell when he would make an attack feith his red shirted soldiers, so brave 'sud magnanimous that the world rang w ith his praises, and w ithal so indiscreet as to make his fellow patriots wish he were in Guinea. A little boy used to crush flowers to obtain their color, and would th n paint all sorts of pictures 011 the white walls of his father's cottage in the Tyrol. He became known to the world later on as the great artist Tdiau. Backaches of Wojweas are wearying beyond deo cription and they indicate real trouble somewhere* Efforts to bear the duii pain are heroic, but they do not overcome it and the backaches continue until the cause is removed* ^ydli^^TinkhMn^Vc^ does this more certainly than any other medloinom It has boon doing it for thirty yoarsm it is a woman's medlolne for woman's illsa It has done muoh for the health of American women, Read the grateful letters ifrom woman constantly appearing In this paper? j Mrs, Plnkham counsels I woman free of ohargo, Her address is Lynn, Mass, So. 12.

"We are getting along fairly well in the woods liy making ice roads," said Senator Bnckman, "but we would tcully like a little snow, just as a sort of guarantee that we are really going to liave some winter." The senator is cutting something like 40.000,000 feet ot Jogs in tlie Swan Kiver district in Minnesota this winter. He has upward of S00 men at work in his camps. As his operations involve an expenditure of $1500 a day, it may readily be seen that the question of the weather from day to day is one in | which Senator Ruck, man has more than a passing interest. "In the 12 camps where my men are. now at work. ' continued the seua tor, "1 am nsing about 100 liorses in hauling water <lav and night to keep the roads in condition. The water is hauled in SO-bar re I tanks mounted on sleds, and an m? --ement of pipes dire ts the flow oTtrater in front of the ' runners. Of course tlieio was a great deal of preparatory work required. The roads were laid out and graded up smooth in the fall, and wherever there was a brook or a pond convenient to the roads a pool was dug so that tiie water might be loaded by the barrel full. A tauk is run up to one of these pools, and au incline arranged so that a barrel rigged like a huge bucket may be .raised and lowered into the water,the lead team of horses furnishing the power. In this way it | doesn't take long to till a tank. | "As the ice forms the read is grad- j ually raised,and we have a rut-cutting I machine wbi-h cuts out .be ice where | the runneis of tbe lop sleils run, and < throws it out ut the sides. The roads do ji(?t average more than four miles in length to the landing places, and we have been able to keep theui in pood condition, but a few warm days would knock things out badly. "it is astonishing to one not accustomed to such things how much a tea'it can haul over tbe^e roads. A thousand feet of logs weighs roughly about three tous. I had a letter the other i i day stating that they were now aver! agiug about .Villi) to the load, which j means 13 tons, but they expect to do j better. I was talking with a lumber- j inan on the train, who told me that in j some of the camps they had adopted a j system known as trailing, hitching | j three sleds one behind the other, and j i were pulling them all with the same i horse power, lnadtd with SOO.'i feet j each. This means 24,000 feet, or 72 I tons to the trip. "I remember an instance ttfb or j three years ago when Judge Collins , w as visiting in one of my camps, when 20,030 feet, or 00 tons, was loaded on I one sle I. They tell a story of a man who was hauling with two of his own teams and three hired teams. One morning when they came out to luteh on to the live loudetl sleds,th? drivers i of the hired teams struck for high?r wages and refused to make tlie trip to the lauding. One of the other drivers sugg sted that one of the extra sleds be hitched on behind the one with which he started.and the horses pulled | j it od' without any trouble. Then the J other driver said he wonld try the j three rem lining loads, and he got 1 awav with them without diflicnltv. Tlio hired teams were allowed to go, and the work was continued with the ' owner's two teams. I "The logs are loaded on sleds with I a "blink" or bed J4 feet wide and j piled up a* high in the air. They are socnred bv chains around the whole lna^a. The outside bottom log on one side is fastened to the sled wi'h ! a snort chain at each corner, which goes around the logs and is caught, with a'g ab-hook.* When the lauding is reached these hooks u? e knocked out ui li an a\e, and this brings down the whole pile. " Criminal Wnodpiln. The people of Dawson Cit-v have ! adopted a novel and elective cure for ! e.ime. It is a monster wood pile, of a size to awe the most hardened offender, according to the Omaha Bee. A man convicted of any offense is compelled to saw wood. He saws ten hours a day steadily, day after day. ! nutil liis sentence expires. He must j ; 8aw regardless of the weather. Jn the most intense cold, the hardest rain, the fiercest snowstorm, he is oom] elled to coutinne sawing, ana if the day has not ten hours of light, lanterns are provided to enable hi in to p it in a full day. When t je pile of sawed wood begins ^o get low, the authorities senteo.e ineu for very slight offenses, and the natural result i<that e\ervbody is kept on his good behavior.

These Kaffirs. among whom this curious system of hanking obtains.)' live near Kaffraria, iu tlie south of the Colony country. The natives come down from their country to trade in the several villages and towns in large numbers, stay with the Boers f< r a time, then return to Kaffraria. Their banking facilities are very primitive, and consist entirely of banks i af deposit alone, without banks of diseount or issue, and they have no j checks. But still they enjoy banking j privileges, such as they are. From those who trade, of their own j number, they select one. who for the occasion is to be their banker. He is converted into a bank of deposit by putting all the moDey of ihosc whoso banker he is into a bag. and then they sally forth t?? the stores to buy what- j over thev want.
