There are two reasons for the wear- in the turpentine coun- try? One is the turpentine gathering. The 'other is the herding of the great flocks. The turpentine comes from the mari- time. pine. This tree is tapped, a shingle is inserted, and from the shin- gle is hung a tiny bucket, into which the turpentine drips. The tapping process is like that used on the Am- erican sugar maple. Young pine Trees are tapped low, but with each year's passage the in- cision is made higher, so that it is not long before most of the trees are tapped twenty or thirty feet from the ground. Hence the huge stilts of the work: men. On these stilts they traverse the flat country, covering five or six yards with 'each stride. and quickly and easily they collect the turpentine that overflows the little buckets hang- ing high up in the trees. It is for herding also that the stilts are 'useful. The country is very flat, and the herdsmen unless he continual- ly climbed a tree, woulfl be unable to keep all the members of his huge flock in sight. But, striding about on his stilty, Be commands a wide prospect He is alway®, as it were, upon the hill, The stilt wearers carry a fifteen-foot staf with a round, flat 'top like a When it is lunch time or when they are tired they plant up- right under them the staff and sit down on the round, flat ton.

Westbrook in Field and Stream. Most people who are lovers of camp life turn up their noses, when one mentious the Catskills, and, indeed; int certain parts and at certain seasons this country is by no means ideal for camping. However, it is surprising that within 125 miles of New York, there should be places very rarely vise ited by city people and where deer are' plentiful 'and bears frequently trapped. Certainly the beautiful clear streams and fine mountain scenery are very enticing, and above all, the ease and expense of getting there is a min- imum. Three of-us decided to make a trip through" this 'region, gipsy fashion, in a circle of about 100 miles' circum- ference. The idea was to hire a horse and waggon, stow our tents and blan- { kets and a few necessary clothes in it and travel through the country, vis- iting the various streams in order to try the fishing. As we had our tents and a few: provisions (which latter were easily replenished when we passed a country store), it was not nec o8sary to reach any particular place by night- { fall, but rather we were at liberty to stop where the prospects for fishing seemed the best--usually well back from the villages.

AND THE BRITISH. As a Practical Joker He is Unex- ' celled. T. Sprague in Outing Magazine. hei Savannah was invested by the ' American army, Capt. French, with a small body of British regulars and five small vessels, was stationed twenty miles up the river, and the proximity of the American force made him nervous. Col. John White, of the Georgia line, wanted to capture this detachment, 'but no soldiers could be spared by:the American general for the undemfaking. Now the colonel was a determined and masterful man and resolved to make the venture on his when he heard a train coming. He was forty-five years of age and resided 'in St. Lambert where he leaves a family. WHERE A FLAW EXISTS In the Reciprocal Marine Inspec tion Agreement. Ap instance of the unsatisfactory conditions of 'the reciprocal marine in- ion a t between Canada estion United States was shown this morning when the owner of a gasoline launch, which brought passengers from Clayton to Kingston, applied for a Canadian certificate of inspection. It was impossible to grant this, and for the following reason : By the reciprocal inspection arrange ment, Canadian inspectors issue a Can- adian oertificate on the presentation of a United States certificate, In Can- ada ail steam and gasoline vessels of over three tons ate inspected.

Then the colonel and his. four friends, "imitating thé man- ner of the staff, rode with haste in various directions. giving orders in a loud voice. French became satisfied that a large body of the enemy were upon him, and being summoned by Col. White, he surrendered his detach- ment, the crews of five vessels and 130 stand of arms." Col. White pretended that he must keep back his troops, as tory outrages had infuriated them and indiscriminate slaughter might take place. He took the parole of the Brit-| ish captain and soldiers not again to orve, gave them three guides, his or- Qerli, s, to escort them to sale quat- ters, and hurried them away before daybreak lest the fury of his pretend- ed . soldiers should fall upon them. "The affair approaches too near the marvelous," adds Lee, "to have been admitted into these memoirs, had it not been uniformly asserted at the time, as uniformly accredited, and nev- er contradicted."

FOOLISH WAYS OF MEN, Queer Creatures, With Many. Use- less Habits. Detroit. Free Press. Ever watched a man as he takes a chair ? He'll move it--every time even if it's only an inch. Ho wouldn't git in it just where it was for the world. Watch him next time and see if he doesn't move it. A. woman will seat herself without touching the chair--a woman is more philosophical, anyhow, Men ave queer creatures, as every one knows, comments a writer in the Philadelphin Press. A man will 'al- ways stir his coffee before drinking it. This is very foolish--he should taste it first to sce if it meeds stirring, Few men open their ' personal' sot: postutarks 1 tha [Vg of ay ine Women, on the other hand, tear open the envelope at once; they are in too much of a hurry to waste any time, When a man puts on his hat he al: most always looks inside it first, What he expects to sce remains"a mys- tery, but he looks for it all the same. He subjects the point of his pen to the same careful scrutiny before com- mencing to write a lettor. A woman starts right off--jabs hev.pen in the inkpot and , straightaway begins to scribble as if her life Fen on it. It is the man who ¥hads with his back to the light, holding his book in one hand. Herein lies wisdom. A wo- man rests her book on the table and leans both elbows thereon. But the foolishness of the man's act lies in the fact that he is secking comfort and seldom takes this position because it is the most scientific ope. OF gourse, he finds it isn't eomfortable=his arm aches after the first ten minutes, whereupon he puts his hook down and remarks he is going out, It is the man who lets out secrets not by telling them, hut by ill-timod silences.
