is becoming more
and more generally
known oach year,
k says the San Fran
cisco Chronicle. A
great deal has been
written regarding
the beauty and util
ity of the lumber cut from those trees, aud
figures have been given to demonstrate
the great size many of them attain. And
still, beyond the facts that there are those
standing through the trunks of which a
coach and four is driven, others on the
level stump of which quadrilles are
danced, ami others that tower 100 feet
into the air, no description of the magni
tude of the greater number of the trees:
found in the redwood forests will convey
a better idea of their actual bulk than a
brief sketch of what was lately done with
one in the heart of the Big Basin, Santa
Cruz county, by a party sent in there to
fence in a large area.
All of those hired were experienced
workmen, and the work of establishing a
permanent camp was quietly undertaken.
A tree already lying on the ground was
selected as being straight grained and of
good size. It was about 10 feet through
THE BURNT TREE,
at the base aud 8 feet in diameter at the
other other end of tne trunk, 100 feet
away. There was already a cabin on the
site selected for the camp, so the first
thing done was to build a corral for the
horses. For this stakes wore wanted.
With the cross-cut saw a section of the
trunk 8 feet long was cut off and quar
tered. These quarters were then split
into slabs throe inches thick and these
slabs again split into stakes three inches
square. As fast as these were sharpened
they were driven six inches apart on the
four sides of the square laid out, and in a
short time an inclosure measuring forty
feet on each side was made. On one side
an annex for hoy and grain was built
twenty feet wide. About 500 stakes were
thus used, which was about one-third of
the uumber split out of the first cut, The
next cut was 12 feet long and wns split up
into "slats 1 ' six inches wide and one inch
thick. The second cut made about as
many slats as the first did stakes. The
slats were nailed as a ribbon or rail all

around the two corrals, which were then
nearly finished. To complete them a gate
was made to each one, the "swing*" post
to which being hinged in primitive style.
The upper end of this post, being rounded,
was passed through a "fork" cut from an
oak branch, while the lower end, bluntly
sharpened, was set on an oak block slight
ly hollowed out.
The line of stakes between the two cor
rals was cut down to about four feet in
beighth and a row of stakes set slanting in
the stock side. These were then lined and
fioored with slats, and thus a feed rack
wus made in a short time.
The cabin in which the cooking was
done and meals eaten was made entirely
from redwood, there being used in it
about fifty slats, besides joists, plates, tie
beams, etc,, all split from a tree. The
roof was couerea with "shakes.'' These
are made three feet long, six inches wide,
and one-quarter of an inch thick. On the
roof of the cabin and the kitchen about

stiff, black soil mixed with water. The
chimney of this fire place was of slats set
on end and the wet naobo was kept in
place by a line of redwood, which is slow
to burn when green. Besides, a small fire
only was needed mornings aud evenings,
the day being hot
Now that the cabin, corral, etc., were
finished the balance of the time could be
utilized in various ways. Out of the
trunk could be made over 200,000 shakes,
worth SOOO on the ground, or 50,000 slats
or stakes, or about 8,000 railway tieo.
From a single tree—not an exceptionally
large one—J 20 cords of wood have been
cut, making over I5,i)00 cubic feet of
wood, and this without utilizing much of
the timber ati.ong the branches ana verj

In the Big Basin, where these notes wen
made, there are thousands of trees tha

of others ranging from 12 to 15 feet, and

feet still higher up. This tree is now 200
feet in height, the lower half of the trunk
being free from branches. It has boen

tons, and that It would make 1,500,0U0

Farmer Hell.
Farmer Bell did not believe in men
tal or moral sugar plums in his own
family circle. He was quite willing to
commend friend or family acquaint
ance, but he had a theory that his own
family would be best improved by a
Spartan discipline. The children must
learn to do their duty without praise,
and as for his wife, she had toiled for
fifteen years without having once been
told that she was a satisfactory house
keeper.
One night the two cqpie home from a
tea party at a neighbor's house, and
Mrs. Bell, with the courage of the
meek, said:
"Ezra, seems to me I heard you prais
ing the mottoes the Smith girls
worked ?"
"Yes, I did," said Mr. Bell. "Real
pretty they were for such nonsense."
"l'our own girls have made some
just like 'em. It'll tickle 'em to death.
And didn't I hear you say that squash
pie for supper was powerful nice?"
"Well, Mirandy, 'twas a good pie."
"Was it a mite better'n mine, Ezra?"
"Well, no, I can't say, as 'twas."
"When have you ever said one word
to praise a pie or cake I've set afore
you ?"
"Maybe I ain't praised ye much, Mi
randa, hut then I ain't complained."
"Y'es, you have," said Miranda.
"Yes, you have! Saying nothing is
complaining, sometimes. It's just like
pushing a heavy load up hill, besides
what ye have agreed to carry, to
go along day after day and not hear a
word of praise."
Ezra began to think, and, although
he by 110 means changed his spots en
tirely, he did from that time try to act
on the theory that "woman folks" aro
fond of commendation.
Where He Was From.
When Thomas H. Benton wai on his
way to liis first seat in Congress, he,
with a large number of other members,
stopped at a wayside inn for a relay of
stage horses—it being before the (lavs
of railways. The members began teil
ing from whence they came, and ex
changing anecdotes about their States.
Young Benton was silent during all
the evening. Just before they began
to retire, some one asked Benton why
he didn't talk. He said he didn't know
much, and had nothing to talk about.
This caused a laugh, and an old mem
ber asked him where lie was from, and
if he was ashamed of his State.
"No," answered young Benton; "but
I don't think you will care to hoar
where lam from."
"O, out with it. Don't be ashamed."
"Well, then, I'm from Arkansas.
Now laugh, evorvouo of you blank
fools."
It is needless to say thov all laughed,
but young Benton was voted to be the
lion of the assembly from then on.—

A Sweet, Confiding Creature.
"George, dear," said a young wife,
looking up from the paper slio was
reading. "I see that people are carry
ing chestnuts in their pockets to cure
rheumatism."
"Yes, dearest."
"Is it_ customary to carry things in
the pockets to cure diseases?"
"It depends upon whether the person
afflicted is superstitious or not."
"Because, when sewing 011 a button,
it was your vest, I think, I discovered
a quantity of cloves, coffee beans, and
cardamon seeds in the pockets. Do
you carry them as a remedy ? Is there
anything the matter with you, dear?"
"Ye—es, my dear," said George,
stammering and turning as red as a
lxiilod lobster, "I—l—the fact is, X—l

Parasites of the Blood.
Home years ago a Russian observer
discovered in the blood of birds living
organisms strongly resembling those
existing in the blood of persons
attacked by malarial fever. It has
since been found that these minute
parasites are much more common than
was at first suspected. Cold-blooded
animals are especially liable to them,
and the earnivora more so than other
warm-blooded animals; but it is only
rarely that they seem to cause incon
venience, and in only four or five out
of three hundred birds examined did
death result in consequence of lesions
produced by the parasites. In those
cases the symptoms were identical
with those observed iu victims of ma
larial fever.

"Remember, my boy, that time is

harangue.

old man's fifty-dollar check in the hall
way, he murmured: "Eighty-three
cents a minute. That hour's been well
employed."— Life.

The clock shown is a very flfte specimen
of the modern French clock make, by
Chaumant, Paris. It was constructed to
the order of Dr. Swaim, of panacea no

made under Dr. Swaim's own supervision,
and it may not be amiss to add that the
doctor himself was a very fine mechani

of time-keeping equal to this exquisite
specimen of modern horological elegance,
having a rate inside of two minutes in a

the day of the week and month, making
the proper changes for leap year, and
showing twenty-nine days on bissextile

A CLOCK OF GEMS clock was one of the
chief attractions of the Russian exhibit at
the centennial world's fair in Philadel
phia in 1876. The material < lapis lazuli)
is what the imperishable Ultramarine blue
is made from; the only color known to
artists on which time has no effect. Thi9
sunstance, as a raw material, is worth its
weight in gold, commercially, and when
we come to add the value of labor skillful
enough to fashion and combine the numer
ous pieces of selected stone to construct a
clock case fully eighteen inches high by
twelve broad we can roughly estimate the
value of such a gem of hofologica) treasure.
The stone is very rare/ and, while not
being as valuable as the blue sapphire, is
still more of a curiosity. It only reveals
Its peculiar beauty on closo scrutiny—an
innumerable galaxy of golden stars lloat

particles of iron pyrites embedded in the
crystalline mass. The movement is a fine

HEARING IN FISHES.
They Cannot Hear Sounds Originat
ing in the Air.
The scientists tell us that in many
fishes no trace exists of an organ of
hearing; that the tympanum, its rarity
I and the external paris of the ear are
! entirely al s nt; that in o hers this org in
j is only imperfectly developed, and that
i in the remaining few, such as the shark,
! the shad, herring and others, there is an
' odd connection between the organ of
i hearing and the air bladder. With
! these crude fa ts before him, the ichthy
ologist leaves the angler to work out the
| answer to the qu< stion, "Can fish hear?"
wliioh is a most practical one to the
car* fill angler in his pursuit of the
educated game fish of our inland waters.
We sura up briefly the conclusions of
an old black bass angler 011 this sub
ject.
Fish hear no sound originating in the
air.
j Place a cannon upon an India-rubber
carriage, sufficiently large and elastic
enough to deaden, when fiied, nil con
cussion upon the ground, and Mr. Fish,
! after the explosion, will be as placid in
I his pool as a gourmand after dinner.
But, step as lightly as one may upon
I the margin of a stream, and the fish will
scatter like shot from the shallows where
| they are feeding or frolicking. The
j larger the fish and the lesser the depth
j of water the greater and wilder the scat
! taring will be.
j Security seems to lie with them in the
! relative depth of the pools, as the step
of the angler only dis'urbs them in a
foot or two of water. A fish lying in a
hole three or four feet deep, close to the
bank<, is undisturbed by any ordinary
concussion.
Again, any concussion originating in
j or upon the bed of the river or below the
! fish, does not appear to disturb them.
, This was verified by this old angler one
day upon a large bass which he saw
' lying motionless with in a foot of the
; stake to which the camp boat was tie l.
j The water was about four feet deep. He
j struck scveial successive hard blows
! upon the top of the stake, which pro
i traded about two feet out of the water,
! without causing a flirt of the fin in the
I fish b lew. Our angler at once con-
I eluded that the bass could not hear the
; noise made by footsteps upon the bed
j of the river, when wading in the stream
and, as the jolly fins could not hear the
I conversation originating out of the
j water, anglers may indulge in social
chat and pleasantries whenever inclined
| taking oare, however, to be always on
I the safe side by not becoming too bois
terous in their discussions or hilarity.
"Boys," s iid a fly-fisher on one occa
sion, "what fools these bait-fisliers are
to put their comfort in a straight-jacket
when they go a-fisliing. Home old lei
j lows won't let you whisper in the boat,
I and are as querulous and over cautious
| as my grandfather wa-; whenever he had
j an attack of the gout. He would lie Hat
on his back in bed, with his gouty foot
propped up 011 a pillow, laid across u
chair, placed bottom upward, and in
this position would centre and st ain
his eyes and fears upon the knob of the
chamber door, which was no s ronel 1
turned upon its axel than he was heard
crying out with prospective pain, "watch
i out for my foot.
"It is just so with tin se old bait-fish
ers. A motion of your lip, although
I voiceless, ami they would cry out if
I they dared 'watch out for my coming
j bite.' They are right in thinking that
I the least motion of the boat is apt tc
frighten the fish, but 4 I won't go home
till morning' by a dozen bass voices is
less disturbing to a pool or a bank than
the twiiching of a toe on the bottom of
j about."
The Largest Flower in the World.
In the farthest south-eastern island
of the Philippine Group Mindinao, upon
one of its mountains, Parog, in the ;
[ neighborhood of the .highest peak on
the island, the volcano Apa, a party of
botanical and ethnographical explorers
recently found, at tie height of 2,50 C
feet above the sea level, a colosal flower.
The discoverer, Dr. Alexander Heluulen
berg, could hardly believe his oyefi
when he taw, among the low-growing
bushes, the immense buds of this flower,
like gigantic brown cabbage heads.
But he was still moie astonished when
he found a specimen in full bloom, a
five ye'alod flower nearly a yard in
i diameter—us large as a carriage-wheel,
in fact. This enormous blossom was
borne on a sort of vine creeping on the
j ground. Tlio native who accompanied
Dr. Hchadenberg called it bolo.
The party had no scale by which the
weight of the flower could be ascertained,
! but they improvised a swing scale, rsin •
I their boxes and specimens as wights.
I Weighing these when oppoi un ty
! served, it was found that a single liuwer
1 weighed over twenty-two pouyds. It
I was impossible to transport the fresh
flower, so the travelers photographed it
j and dried a number of its leaves by the
i heat of a fire. Dr. Hehadenb rg then
sent the photographs and dried speci
mens to the Royal Botanic al Gardens,
j Breslau, where tlie learned director im
mediately recogni/ed it as a species of
Rafflesia, a plant formerly discovered in
i Sumatra, and named after the English
j Governor, Sir Stamford Raffles. The
new flower was accordingly named Raf
[ flesia Sohadenbergia.
The five petals of this immense flower
! are oval and creamy white, and grow j
| around u centre filled with countless i
I long violet-hued stamens; thicker and j
I longer in the fertile flower tlran in the !
! infertile.

Shortsighted Children.
A careful observation of some three
hundred eases of short s'ghtedness in
children, conducted by Professor Fors
ter, director of the University Ophthal
mic Clinic of B i s'nn, led him to con
clude that too light collars were in a
large number of cases responsible for
the trouble. Hi? found tin* parents suf
fering from a chronic complaint brought
on by a disturbance in the regular and
normal flow of bloo.l, which he traced
to the wearing of collars that were not
sufficiently lo<s i , and parents and
teachers were cautioned to guard against
continuing their use. The warning
may b ? serviceable in similar cases
everywhere.

Major aidoof Herbert, a well*known
agricultural circles, writes AprL 18tb, 1885; 9ocni
five years ago I wrote a letter staking that Swisl
Specific had coxed me at severe rheumatism. Sin&s
that time I have had po return of the rbcuin&tid
troubles, although frcqasntly exposed to the
enoes that produced former attacks. Several of raj
friends had a similar experience, and arc firm in
conviction that S. 8. S. brought a permanent etxgcj,
searching power of this medicine is shown Lty
the fact that It developed a scrofulous taint that wi*
conspicuous In my blood over thirty years ago, and
ha* removed the lost traee of it. I have also tested
8. 8. S. as a tonic alter a severe attack of malarial
fever, which kopt me in bed for three months, and
am cmvfncad that its enrative and strengthening
properties insured my recovery from that ifinces, aa
I was in a very low condition of health.
