cult Owing to their higher latitude,
and still more to the greater fall of
rain and snow, the volcanic peaks of
this region are rendered more impos-
ing than their more southern brethren
by the great masses Of snow and ice
which clothe their slopes and send out
great glaciers in the surrounding for
ests. The principal ones are Mount
St. Helen, Mount Adams, Mount Ra-
nler, and Mount Baker. The two
former about the same latitude. about
thirty miles north of the Columbia
river and probably not more than
10000 feet in height ST. Helena is
said to have been in eruption in 1912.
Those seen from Puget sound, which
is an arm of the sea, are much more
imposing. Mount Baker, near the
boundary Of British Columbia, though
but little over 10000 feet in height
presents an enormous extent of snow
and ice covered surface. Mount Ra-
nier, however, which is 14,444 feet
in height, is the grandest of all the
peaks described. The broad summit
is surmounted by three distinct peaks.
one of which is the more recent crater
while the two Others represent rem
nants of the wall of a pre-existing
and larger crater, several miles in d.
ameter, long ago destroyed. From its
sides extend out no less than fifteen
glaciers. The geography of the re-
gion Immediately surrounding the
peak is misrepresented on the existing
maps.
After giving short description of
the attempt to reach the summit of
the peak, only one Of which (that of
Messrs. Stevens and Van Trump) had
been successful the speaker then pro-
ceeded to present an interesting mar
rative Of an exploration of the peak
ana its surroundings by Mr. A. D.
Wilson and himself, members of the
government exploration of the fortieth
parallel, as a part of series Of mon
ographs of the volcanoes of the Pa
ci6c coast, undertaken by that corps,

The RULE OF CoNTRARIEs. 1t doesn't
require any astrologist or medium or
gypsy with dirty pack of cards. It
is very simple, lies in a nutshell, and
can be expressed in a very few words
The plan is this: If girl expresses
fondness for majestic men with large
whiskers, make up your mind she wiki
marry a very small man with none.
If she declares that "mind' is all she
looks for, expect to see her stand be-
fore the altar with q very pretty fel-
low who has just sense enough to tie
a cravat bow. If, on the contrary,
she declares she must have a hand
some husband, look about for the
plaincst person in the circle of her ae-
quaintances. and declare "that is the
man." for it will be. Men are a'm ,st
as bad. The gentleman who desires
a wife with mind and mission mar
ries a lisping baby, who screams at
the sight of mouse and hides her
face when SHE hears a sudden knock
at the door. And the gentleman who
dreaded anything like strong-mihded-
ness exults in the fact that his wife is
everything that he detested. If q
girl says of one, marry him! I'd ratA-
er die." look upon the affair as set
tied and expect cards to the wedding
of these two people. If man re-
marks of lady, 4notsmy style.at all
await patiently Inexperienced his
name in the matrimonial eolumn in
connection with that lady's. And if
any two people declare themselves
"friends and nothing more' you may
know what will cosae next.-Luzerae

Ill Miles In 100 Minutes.

There was to be only one stop in the Ill
miles that separates st. Thomas from Am
herstburg ION the Canada Southern Rail
road). The Engineer, Macomber, was
surrounded by an admiring throng, and
passengers and railroaders commented on
the handsome appearance of his iron steed.
The. steam gauge just before starting
showed pressure of eighty-five pounds
a moderate figure for locomotives. Com
ductor A. B. Crawford sang out All
aboard!'' and the special pulled out from
st. Thomas at 5:2 p. m. A grand hurrah
from the platform signaled the departure.
Once the bridge was cleared Macomber
"let her out" Bishop Borgess. in the
palace-car, after receiving the salutations
of the gentlemen Of the party, sat down,
and dinner was served to him and his
travelling companions upon small table
No one noticed any particular motion in
the car. There was no disarrangement of
the dishes, crowded and small as was the
table. The hum Of the train was some
what sharper than usual, and the rushing
air against the windows sounded like the
sweeping of a rain-storm. Otherwise
there was no indication Of unusual speed
to person in the car.
Presently watehes were taken out and
observations made. The reverend clergy,
as well as the more worldly laity, became
interested.

Land Titles in England.

You are well aware of the value in your
country of the system of compulsory reg
istration of deeds, under which the title
of any given piece of property can be
readily and definitely traced. No such
system ever existed in this country, and
the only substitute for it consisted in per-
hitting those who cared to do so to have
their deeds recorded in Chancery. Tran
scripts of millions uf these documents,
dating from very early period, are pre-
served among the Rolls at the Public Rec
ord Office; but it would probably be diff
ficult, if not impossible, to find single
unbroken series among them all. A few
years ago Lord Chancellor Westbury sue.
ceeded in establishing an official Land
Registry Office, similar to those in exist
ence with you, and it was confidently ex-
pected that its business would be enor-
nous, and return handsome surplus to
the country. But the compulsory clause
was objected to, and was stricken out
of the act, which, thus emasculated, has
already become dead letter. From a
recent return it appears that the expense
of maintaining the office has averaged,
in round numbers, $50 900 per annum,
while in no year have the receipts from
fees exceeded 81, 900, and have generally
been less than $1,000. The experiment
has been dead failure, and the Office IT.
self will doubtless soon be closed and the
officials transferred to other departments
The common argumentagainst the system
is that land owners with a good title have
no need to register, and that those with
bad one are not fools enough to GO so. II
has not yet struck the British mind thai
the effect of the compulsory clause would
in time have been to render every title 8
good one.-London Cor. Chicago Journal

Testing the Telephones Power.

An interesting experiment with the
telephone was tried Saturday, at the office
of the Telephone Company, of New
York, in the Tribune Building. In order
to determine through what resistance the
telephone could be operated, the wire was
cut. and Mr.. Roosevelt took one end in
his right hand and the other in his left.
Communication was then established
through the telephone with Broadway and
Thirteenth street, the office of the Burg
lar Alarm Telegraph Company, and mes
sages were transmitted both ways with
the usual distinctness. The resistance
offered by Mr.. Roosevelt, previously as
certained at the Western Union Telegraph
Company's office, was 10000 ohms, the
electrical measure of resistance. This is
the resistance of five times the length of
the Atlantic cable. The experiment was
so successful that two and then three men
we've introduced in the circuit, and after
wards five, and every word from Thir-
teenth street could be heard as before any
resistance was introduced. The resistance
overcome by the current of electricity,
when five persons were in the circuit,
was, of course, 200,0 ohms, or the re-
sistance opposed by twenty-five times the
length of the Atlantic cable. Before the
experiment was tried, the hands of each
person were moistenGd with water, in or
der to offer as little resistance as possible
to the passage of the current. No sensa-
tons were experienced by any one.ow
ing, undoubtedly, to the delicacy of the
current. This experiment was tried with
out the use of an electric battery.
In the telephones used, a soft, iron disk
is placed about thirty second of an inch
from a permanent magnet, inserted in a
wooden-handle somewhat resembling a
dice box. Around the permanent magnet
is coil of insulated wire, to collect the
electricity generated by the proximity OF
soft iron to the permanent magnet. The
fine wire. after the induction of electrici.
ty, transmits the current along the line.
At the other end, the current causes the
metal disk there to vibrate in unison with
the disk of the telephone at the transmit
ting end.-N. Y. Tribune.

cigars were handed around and lighted by
as many men. A flock OF blackbirds ny
ing towards the west, with all their fieet-
ness in cleaving the air, were soon lett be-
hind and lost to view.
The wires on the telegraph poles swung
up and down. from the movement OF the
train. The bushes on the side of the
bitches shook as if swept by hurricane,
and the tall and gaudy yellow coxcombs
that grew beside the fences bent to the
ground in seemingly overpowerlng de-
Sire to get loose from the earth and follow
the rushing train. The dust from new
ly-ballasted portions of the track and the
chips and leaves rose up fiercely against
the force of gravitation and whirled and
gyrated like vapory clouds in tempest.
A thin line Of smoke stretched Interim
nably in the distance. The impetus OF
the train increased; the vehemence with
which it rushed forward created vac
uum that apparently took nature some
seconds to overcome, and the spirits OF the
passengers were exhilarated by the unpre-
cedented speed at which they moved
through space.
A side track passenger-train saluted us
with cheers and locomotive whistles.
Neither was heard; before the sound
could reach the ears of the passengers
in the special, it was beyond hearing.
One could see the rushing steam and the
waving handkerchiefs. Train Dispatcher
Noble reported that six miles between
Highwood and Ridgeton were made in
five minutes; the fifty -seven miles between
St. Thomas and Charing- Cross were made
in fifty. six and a half minutes. A halt at
Charing- Cross of four minutes, for water,
and then on again with the same over
powering velocity. But 60 as fast as it
might, the Canada Southern train could
not overtake the sun; it sank and night
fall came on. Then could be seen the
work of the fireman. Each time he
opened the furnace volume of sparks
shot out, and the trailing fire came down
upon the track like the pyrotechnics OF an
aerial mine.
Finally, sharp twist that sent the
standing passengers over to the right, and
directly another that sent them in the Other

International Sunday-School Lessons.
FOURTH QUARTER, 1877.
Little Annoyances and Great Sorrows.

To WHAT end are they? They that
learn most and soonest by past experiences
in life win the fairest laurels. Our worst
enemy is always to be met and conquered
within ourselves. We have suffered most
from our own mistakes, and not from
those of other people. The sooner we
learn to watch and search for the hidden
causes that resulted in the large and small
failures in the past, and steer clear of the
same in the future, we have gained the
victories that serve us not only for time
but for eternity. Every fall and blunder
should prepare us for the coming preci-
pice that we are liable to plunge over, if
we do not find our way round, through
prayerful supplication for Divine support
and guidance. Sometimes it seems that
he who has attained the greatest success
and withstood the strongest temptations,
commits the most egregious follies. Does
our Heavenly Father take notice of these
frailties of His children? We are more
than the sparrows. Why not? If much
OF our conscious strength and self-esteem
has departed at the remembrance of our
weakness, we may recall for our comfort
that Christ is our intercessor. Our Heaven
ly Father has greater patience with our
shortcomings than our dearest earthly
friend, perhaps, when we are brought just
to tie point of one who said in his heart,
:" Oh, have been such fool; l cannot
pray; l am utterly disguised with myself
and surely God can have no consideration
or mercy for me-" But God has mercy
on those who appear to have no mercy on
themselves. "My punishments and tor
ments are more than l can bear; l must
give up; l will just stupefy my brain for
the last time to the final end. and change
my fate, whatever it may be. l cannot
and will not endure myself longer" This
want of faith and trust in Gods love and
patience with His children, is what leads
to the dependency that ends in suicide.
Prayer, persevered in. will do more for
the disguised, breaking heart, than any
opiate or other human invention. 1t is an
alarming fact, of late, that it is so often
said such person has committed suicide,
and he was church member
Trust in human courage and manly
honor must often fail; but the faith and
trust of a sincere Christian ought to prove
a rock of strength that, however riven and
shaken, should only grow firmer by every
crushing storm.-Church Union.

Advantages Of Farm Training.

OF all the places in which a boy can
spend his youthful days, none other pos
sesses so many advantages or confers so
many advantages as the farm. The best
foundation for useful and successful edu-
cation is thorough physical training. In
order to achieve success in any calling, the
boy should have well-developed physi-
cal structure, with hard, healthy bones,
strong, firm muscles, and large. we'll
developed brain. And this condition of
the physical man can be secured only by
the utmost freedom OF exercise, which
must be frequent. regular and varied. No
other calling in life calls into action SO
regularly and fully every system and class
of muscles of the Human body as is done
by the various operations of farm life.
This kind Of life with its unconstrained
action in the pure air and healthful sun
shine is just what is needed to harden the
bones, strengthen the muscles and enlarge
and give power to the brain. This physi-
cal development is what must be secured
as foundation for success in life, or il
never can be achieved. And if it is nee
essary to neglect, In a great measure, the
mental training during boyhood in order
to secure this thorough bodily develop
ment, it had far better be done. The boy
who at eighteen has secured such physi-
cal development as we have supposed. and
which may generally be secured by four
or five years labor on a farm, even though
largely ignorant of literature, mathemat-
les and the natural sciences, has laid o
better foundation for successful life than
the one who. at that age, comes forth a
graduate from some institution of learning

Cheerfulness.

Be of good cheer, for I have overcome the
world"
Be cheerful, is duty often enjoiped
upon us. Who objects to being cheerful :?
Certainly no rational being. But whence
cometh the cheerful ray? There must be
a source of sunshine and cheerfulness !;
there must be cheering cause to produce
the cheerful effect. Like brings like,
since sin ard darkness have encompassed
the earth, no true cheerfulness can be re-
allied or enjoyed but that which comes
from the glorious Sun of Righteousness
which has graciously risen to flight every
man that cometh into the world" 1t
should ever be the privilege of every soul
so lighted to bask beneath the sunshine of
true cheerfulness and holy pleasures, to
be found at Gods right hand, in Christ,
our all in all. In this attitude, the Chris
tian's pathway may be in the midst of ii
halo of cheerfulness and pleasure, giving
delight and radiant beauty to all around.
But let us not mistake rude, uncouth
mirthfulness and levity for true, heaven
born cheerfulness. The one is the exu-
berance of the animal spirits, while the
other is the refined manifestation of the
buoyancy and gladness of heart, the sub
lime illumination of the inner man by the
Spirit of light and life. Her ways are
ways of pleasantness and ali her paths are
peace. WIN. II. Wright, in Chicago
