Running in the lumber Michigan." The speaker wai a young man of 6onoe twenty-seven years, dressed in rurh-and-ready style and wearing a frizzy tow beard. He shifted the position of bis broad shoulders as he lounged back in an easy chaii in the Sherman House offioe, puffed his ciar vigorously, and then continued : "It was one of three hitter cold days we've just been having, and I had got up at three o'clock to rouse the men and get tbeir sprinkler out The air seemed full of blue steel and cut to my marrow like a razor. One of the teamrters got scared out and played off sick. So I had to take his place. When we had eot a. good, big load I took the reins and sat down on the butts of the logs, leaving th two loggers on behind.1 Of course, about about twenty feet of the load hung off the !at bob. The road was a sheet of ice, for the spritikler ran over it every morning, and the horses were sharp shod, so we slid along smoothly until we came to the slide a pretty steep iDdine t r.oing in a turn which was migt.ty harp for a road sixty feet wi'J. iuon as we started down tut I fan to6land on end, for tl.e I...TMP galloped like fury to keep ahead of the bobs, which were slt-wirg all over the road. I got so parahzed and nervous that when we reached the turn I reined in too suddenly. 1 fe't the front bobs iumn one WhV and the hind bobs another. The hind ends of the logs whittled through the sir like willow switches, and 1 heard the logtrers veil -For Gods sake. ' The next t 'ing was a loud snap, snap snnn like the tremedous paiwr- crackers as the big log-chains brke like so many cotton threiios. wii you ever use" a switch elinp? Whirl it round and round your head, you know, till a sudden twist sends the end off the stick and spinning into the air? Well, that is the way I felt and that i just what I thought of as I was shot off into the air. over and over, till I struck in a enow drift ft hundred or more feet from the ro.-td. When I strutted back through the snow I found the horses trying to kick loose from the few bits of harness that dangled about them, the bobs taneled about the trunk of small pine t-ee, and the loirs scattered to the four winds One logger crawled back to the road with a fractured leg, and the other soon followed with a dislocated shoulder. One had struck a tree and the other had landed agaii.st a stump. They afterwaid told me in camp that those things were not at all unusual, and, as I had some pretty severe bruises myself, I con cluded that 1 was not made to boss a lumber camp. So I was driven to towa the next day t telegraph the management that the head teamster was filling my place, and that I was on my way to Chicago: and you bet your life I am glad I did it If you have never passed a winter in the Michigan lumber dis tricts you don't know what trouble is. In the first place a man has to work from three in the morning till eight and sometimes eleven at night. My daily life, while I was fool enough to stay there, was some thing like this: I kept store for twenty teamsters and bossed them at their work. I slept and ate in the only approximately clean place in the whole ranch a little box built out into the big room and all lined with strong tobacco, curry combs, socks, buckwheat kerosene and bad molasses. The box bad no cover, so as I lay on the only blan ket between me and the floor I could see the stars through the frosty cracks in the roof. The onions, cab bages, beans and a small keg of sauer-kraut were stored just outside my door in the big room, which was heated red-hot by an immense open fire-place. At night the men would take off their soakine-wet rubber boots and stand them bv the fire. "Those were awful old days for me. I had almost sleepless nights, and then had to get up before day oresk, with the thermometer At or 30 degrees below zero, and go abont ray work with a splitting headache, contracted in the foul air in which I had to pass the night I am glad I am out of it It is an unhealthy dirty .dangerous business, and ui.l a man is in with the man a? -mef there is no money in it.

CO leet by 40 feet English paint ings of horses and races of great value hang around the last named "walking place." From these places of exercise you can look through plans roofs to the &y. The ventila tion is perfect, and twelve-inch bars, and massive doors insure the safety of the valuable stock from outside intrusion. Trusted emoloves remain with the trotters day and nL'ht, and dis missal instantly follows neglect oi this important duty. The clothing of the crack trotter is ncti ana plen tiful, and forms not the least inter esting feature ot the place. "You may have valuable trotters, hot you will be disappointed in them if they are not kept in good shape," remarked Darn Mace. They must not be neglected, or evil fol lows. Of course, a horse in system atic training is looked after "closer than those which are given a hrush up the road daily; yet the latter aleo demand constant attention. It would be something almost criminal in my eyes if. through the neglect of an attendant, one of my valu able horses should fall sick. To show what is d ne to a horse in training, day bv dav, let me tell you how I put a horse in shape. When the attendants first gft up say five o'clock they give the hordes a swallow or 'two of water. Shortly after, breakfast, of two or three ouarts of oats, is furnished. The gulls are t'.en cleaned out. This done, the eyes, nose and mouth are sponged out. Rubbing dry follows, when they are blanketed and taken out for a gentle walk of half an hour or so, during which nibbling erass for ten minutes is allowed. The walk over, the horses g- luck to the stable, when their feet are thoroughly washed out, the animals j cleaned off and honestly ruhlied down. This done and they are fit for their moraine work, whether a jog or to be speeded -that is lelt to to the trainer. Once more returned to the stable, thev are bl.utketed. sweated out and scraped out. The scraping and rubbing the water out of them finished, they are covered with a lighter blanket, and then walked to 'blow out' or become rest ed. Brought back to quarters they are once mor rubbed down, and an hour or so later they ore escorted to the tubs, where their legs are soaked in water and rubbed dry. Then their legs are rubbed with rum and done up with bandages. Oats, hay and water are then given them, their beds made and they are locked up for a rest. "Four hours later they are again fed, then walked once more, during which they can nibble a little more grass, and then they are taken back to the stalls and not again disturbed for the day. The fourth meal is at 9 p. M. Some horses are exceeding ly delicate, and these want feeding six times a day. This is a good" deal to do for a horse, but when he is training, and you expect him to trot a real good and, probably, a trying race, it must all be done hon estly and faithfully, or on the day of trial you will be left out in the cold. "Of course, for ordinary road pur poses, the attention and reginem noted may oot be wholly necessary, but then the treatment and care must be nearly up to that mention ed. And just here, I may say, that because of reelect many horses grow stale and prove a disappoint ment to owners. Having expended a great deal of money for a fast horse and then to have him beaten by some 'scrub,' because of lack of condition, is very galling, and own ers are justified in keeping rods in pickle for the ixen who are respon sible for such a Btate of things. G-iod men employed to take charge of trotters, can always obtain big wages, but oftentimes an excellent fellow will lose his job through care lessness. And the verdict is pener- ally.

It Eartb-Mea fivm Africa. - Sitting in a waiting room of the Central Railroad ferry house a. few days ago, said a recent issue of the New York World, was as uncouth a collection of human beings as falls to the lot of New lorkers to witness. Wrapped in coarse, striped blankets, their heads covered with cloth caps i 6ix sizes too large for them,the small peaked faces peered out of tbeir coy- j eriugs with a monkey-like gaze atj the crowd of inquisitive Americans who gathered around. They weref ceutly brought here from the region of the Congo. Until lately the exis tence of these people has been ques tioned by scientific writers, but re cent discoveries have proved the truth of the well known assertion of Herodotus, regarding the mysterious tribe of dwarfs who burrowed in the earth far back towards the centre of the Dark Continent Du Chotillu was the first modern traveller who investigated the matter and saw them in tbeir own land, and describ ed them as being small in statute, but larger than one is led to expect from the description of Herodotus, being something over three feet aud a half tail, but still they are diminu tive specimens of humanity. Their figures are slim and delicate, but very well formed. The woman especially is capable of posing fur an artist as a bronze Venus. They were all well clad.the women wearing coats and pants of coarse but warm material, and they frequently emitted a dry, hacking cough, that shewed the effect which our climate and that of England, whence they came last, is having upon them. Their faces denote but little intellect, yet they are possessed of much intelligence, and the chil dren are surprisingly bright. The baby silting under a canopy of cap, was a study in himself. His big, black eyes twinkled and snapped as he peered this way and that at the crowd, and lie looked the brightest and best of the lot. His father, the king the; are all kings who come here sat enwrapped in his royal blanket, with a long bow in his hand, and he appeared to no tice uothing that went on around him. He wore, attached to his hair in front three small shell filled with some kind of cement or dirt to hold them on. These are royal trade marks, none but he being allowed to decorate bangs in that manner, ami he looked every inch a king ot that sort. On their cheeks they all hart a ragged scar this is also a royal mark and is made by scratching with an arrow and rubbing in color ing matter a rude sort of tattooing Iu addition to these marks each one had the first joint of his ri'.'ht hand lltlle finger l.ik-'U off Ttus is a general tri'-al mark. Tl.ey all showed their fingers ami all were alike in this disfigurement. Their skin is not black, but a sort of cop pery brown, somewhat like our In dians, but a shade or two darker ami riclur in tone. They have bat little hair and that is curled like pigtails. The most curious thing about them is their lauguage. It is a ser ies of indescribable clucks, made by turning the tongue backward against the roof of the mouth and snapping it forward, not the sound one makes when staaing a horse, hut just as inarticulate and seemingly as unin telligible to a human being. They slicked aud clucked among them selves and the gentleman in charge clipped in and fired Ins tongue at them and then the reporter tried it and clucked them : "Here's my re gards." It seemed incredible that men could converge among themselves with such an elementary form of sjM-ech, it not being elevated above tne twittering of a sparrow. One certainly could easier translate the barks and whines of Ids dog into English. They seemed to besatiefied w ith it and that is certainly enough. They have quite a colli Ction of Alricau arms and curiosities in their (oi-fce-t-ion pbort and long bws with sinew or hide strings; ears and arrows of reed, poisoned with the juices of plants and capable of making havoc iu the ranks of an enemy.
