; How wearily all the day
The words unkind wouki trouble my mind That I said when you wont away,
I had been more careful, darling, Nor given you needless pain,
But we vex our own with look and tone We may never take back again.
For, though in the quiet evening ‘ You may give me the kise of peace, Yet it well might be that never for me The pain of the heart should cease! : How many go forth at morning Who never come home at night! And hearts have broken for harsh words spoken That sorrow can ne’er set right.
We have careful thought for the stranger And smiles for the some time guest, _ But oft for our own the bitter tone, Though we Jove our own the best. Ah, lips with the curve impaticnt, Ah, brow with the shade of scorn, ¢ "Twere a cruel fate were the night too late To undo the work of the morn! —Margaret E. Sangster.
SAWING UP A LOG.
How Planks Are Cut Into Shape Im a Great Western Sawmill,
W. 8. Harwood contributes ‘‘The Story of a Pine Board’’ to St. Nicholas. | After telling of the cutting down of the tree and its progress from the forest to the mill Mr. Harwood says:
Up from the yellowish brown depths of the slow moving river flowing so steadily on its way to the sea comes a huge, dark brown thing with a shining,
upon its last stage. It passes at once up a long incline called the ‘‘siit’’—a trench of wood about eight inches deep and two feet wide at the top, so hol- lowed out that the largest log will lie in it securely as it is being drawn up the incline by the stout chains with which the slit is equipped. Projecting pieces of steel on this chain serve to keep the log steady, its great weight, causing it to sink upon these pieces of steel, which are like sharp teeth, A workman, standing at the side of the slit, by means of a lever throws up two powerful stee! pointed arms, which lift the logs ont of the slit amd throw them. upon tables, from which they are rolled down to the carriege which leads to the saws. When the log reaches the car-
| riage, it is throwin upon the framework
by the ‘‘nigger’’—a long, ratcheted tim- ber or piece of steel. This framework is like a section of an ordinary flat car running on a regular railroad track. Two men stand cn the moving carriage and at a signal from the head sawyer, who directs the cutting of the log, reg- ulate the thickness of the plank or board by the levers of the carriage. -
When the log has been adjusted, it rapidly advances to the saw, and in a very few seconds its water soaked sides have been trimmed by the sharp teeth. The carriage flies back te the starting place with the swiftness of the wind, and it is enough to make one shudder to seo it go. You expect every instant that one of the men will be thrown off and terribly injured. They learn to balance themselves, however, though there are frequent accidents. One instant of inat- tention on the part of the head sawyer, who regulates the speed of the carriage by his lever, would send the carriage flying back to the end of the mill with tremendous force and probably kill both of the men. One of the men on the car- riage, called the ‘‘setter,’’ fixes the width of the board to be sawed on sig- nal from the head sawyer; the other man is the second sawyer.
As I stood one day in cneof these mills, watching the men flying forth and back on the narrow carriage, and almost expecting that one or both of them would be thrown off in the swift- ness ef their flight, I took out my watch and timed them, andI found that they traveled on an average on this little railroad not more than 20 feet long, 168,000 feet a day, or about $1 miles. 4
On Ships’ Beds. .
The Arundel Castle is the finest boat I have seen in these seas. She is thor- oughly modern, and that statement cov-~- ers a great deal of ground. She has the usual defect, the common defect, the universal defect, the defect that has never been missing from any ship that ever sailed—she has imperfect beds. Many ships have good beds, but no ship has very good cnes. In the matter of beds all ships have been badly edited ignorantly edited, from the beginning. | The selection of the beds is given to some hearty, strong backed, self made man, when it ought to be given to a frail woman accustomed from girlbood to backaches and insomnia. Nothing is 80 rare on either side of the ocean as @ perfect bed; nothing is so difficult to make. Some of the hotels on both sides provide it, but no ship ever does or ev did. In Noah’s ark the beds were sim ply scandalous. Noah set the fashion, and it willendure in one degree of mod ification or another until the next flood.! —‘‘Following the Equator,’’ by Marks Twain, in McClure’s.
