The wild northern woods offer many peoaliar dangers to the luinnboi'men, hunters, trappers, and fishermen who sojourn there, but few pion have had a more hair raising experience than the cashier of a bank, who was ma- rooned on a raft and. all but swept over the falls of a branch of the Chip- pewa river. It was during the spring floods, and the Chippewa was a raging •torrent, filled with floating` logs and cakes' of grinding, smashing ice, The banker and two friends were about six miles above _the falls andattem_nted-t11*..rry, t)},_e river on +a raft invade of five pine logs.

Great Britain has had to deal with the evil of child labor in factories.. In the Southern.

Mr. Preston says that Ontario has fallen behind in this respect, instead of taking a true position in the van of civilization.

Sud- denly above the roaring of the rapids and the 'creaking of the raft I heard the dull, heavy thunder of the distant 'falls, where logs and ice were pour- ing over and churning the water into columns of hissing vapor.

However tench the audience might laugh, even to a tumult of inerriment lasting a minute or two or perhaps longer, Artemus Ward' stood with the , gravest mien and unmoved face.
