Reaching Far North for Trade.

The Minne-Paulians think that the
far Northwest Canadian Peace River
Valley, containing 22,000 square miles
of prairie (about the area of lndiana),
and living north of 50 ., can be util-
ized for agricultural purposes. The
Minneapolis Tribune, speaking of that
section of the country says:
The Peace River traverses the Atha-
basca territory in a northeasterly di-
rection until it empties into Lake
Athabasca. The soil in the river val
lev and the plateau bordering upon it
is for the most part a fine silt and its
fertility is great. The land is partly
prairie and partly wooded. The total
area of land with soil well suited to
agriculture is not less than 26,O00
square miles. ''The 1uxuriance of the
natural vegetation on these prairies. :"
saws DIR. Dawson, sis truly wonderful,
and indicates not alone the fertility of
the soil, but the occurrence of a suf-
| ficient rainfall"
The isotherms, it would seem, are
more favorable to this part of the
British Northwestth to other parts
of the Dominion. At any rate, it is
claimed that the season in the Peace
River country is long enough for the
ripening of wheat, oats, barley, and
the ordinary root crops and vege-
tables. The principal drawback is
late and early frOsts. The snow dis
appears early, and cultivation begins
about the end of April. ''Horses
almost invariably winter out well with
out requiring to bed" says DIR. Daw-
son. On the whole, the climate OF the
Peace River district compares favOra-
bly, with that of the st. Lawrence Val

The Direction of Sounds.

The average child, returning from
school, on entering the house calls,
'.Mammar' The mother, perhaps, re-
plies, ..Yest' Where are you?" is
the next question, and the reply in
forms the child not only as to the foor,
but as to the roOmin which the mother
can be found. The child can not de-
termine its mothers location by the
sound of her voice. This exaggerated
instance may be owing to the reflection
of the sound, not only from the walls,
but from the strata of air differing in
temperature and humidity.
How many of us going to the next
street, running at right angles to the
car-tracks, can tell, from hearing the
bell of the approaching street-car be-
fore the car comes in sight, whether
that car is going north or south? 1t
does not seem that animals can deter

reused by his masters call, is all
abroad as to his masters location, and
determines it by sight or scent, or

different directions before hitting the

A schoolma.am Among Miners.

"Ilive in New Mexico mining camp,
nearly hundred miles from railway
station" said w. F. Austin. 1T was
several years before the young lady
school teacher now in our camp came
there since the miners in that section
had seen white woman. She went
from Boston out to Albuquerque to
visit her sister, who was the wife of a
banker there. She went up in the
mountains on a pleasure excursion a
year ago last summer, and on the trip
visited our camp for two or three days.
When the miners found out she was
there they came in from every diree-
ton to see her, and she expressed q
desire to live there. The camp grew
and several miners with families came
in last year. We had no teacher. and
the boys got me TO write to the Boston
girl.
well, she came up to the camp, and
about one hundred miners subscribed
$3.50 a month each to pay her for
teaching the school. She was paid in
this way until recently, when there
was in the camp enough children to
organize the school under the Terri
torial laws. Now she is paid out oi
the Territory treasury. She seems to
to enjoy the wild mountain life very
much. Her principle amusement is
riding on horseback. When she came
there she had never been in a saddle.
The young school teacher is greatly
admired and profoundly respected by
the miners, and she is certainly q
bright ray of sunshine in that camp.

The Revenge of Bears Ears.

One day the Indians were gathered
into the tent of the leader and were
talking about the deeds of prOwess that
they had done. Somehow Bears Ears
and Garreau got into wrangle about
their respective acts, and the way they
had cOmpOrted themselves in the war.
Garreau was hOt-blooded fellow. and
he took fire-brand out of the fire and
struck the Indian three or four times
on the back with it. Bears Ears was
not quick to anger, and he did not inn
mediatelv resent the insult. He did as
the traditions of the tribe taught them
they should do-he sat there with his
hands folded and his head hung down,
waiting for Garreau. to apologize for
the insult. He waited twenty minutes
with his head in his blanket, but no
apology came. Generally in such
case. when the man offering the insult
in moment of passion got cool, he
would say that he was sorry for what
he had done, and he would give the
person insulted a pony or ponies
whatever was right-tO wipe away the
insult After Bears Ears had waited
long enough, and he saw that the apol-
ogy was not forthcoming, he said: ''Get
out of the lodge. / have received an
insult, and withdraw from the band"
Garreau, who could not speak a word
of English, was made the leader of the
band on the departure of Bears Ears.
He had plenty of horses, and he kept
the band we'll supplied with meat.
For eighteen months things went on
alright Bears Ears during all this time
used to go to the top of the butte every
day, mile and half from the camp.
and do penance there. He cut off the
middle finger of his right hand and
gave it to the Great Spirit as a sacrifice.
He then cut of another, and waited his
time to get even with the man that had
insulted him. During the winter of the
second year after the insult had been
offered, the band were going out after
buffalo one day. Bears Ears was on
the lookout The band was led by his
enemy and he followed at a distance.
Buffalo were discovered about thirty
miles away, and after they had killed
all they wanted the members of the
band began to return home. Garreau
mounted horse and loaded it with al
| the meat he wanted to carry home
| Bears Ears went to the place where some
of the band were butchering meat and
took piece and went on his way home
with it. About ten miles from Fort
Clarke, where the Indians were bound.
Bears Ears heard Garreau singing be-
hind him. Bears Ears turned to one
side to allow the half-breed to come up.
When Garreau had passed the IndIan
about ten yards, the latter took ann
with his gun and blew off the top of
the half-breed's head. He then cut out
Garreau's heart and carried it off. He
came into camp on Garreau's horse and
went to the tepee in which he lived
with his mother. There he boiled the
heart of his enemy and ate it. When
he had done that he told his mother.
Before daylight he had gone, no one
knew where.-!St PaW Pioneer Press.

The Fact and the Method of Crea-
ton,

1t is curious to observe how, when
the question is concerning Nature, we
no sooner find out how a thing is made
than we Immediately exclaim, "It is
not made at all-it became so of it.
self!'' So long as we knew not how
worlds were made, we of course con-
cluded they must have been created;
but, so soon as science showed holo it
was probably done, Immediately we
say we are mistaken-they were not
made all. So also, so long as we could
not imagine how new organic forms
originated, we were willing to believe
they were created; but, so soon as we
find that they originated by evolution,
many at once say, 1--WE were mistaken
no creator is necessary at ALL" Is
this so when the question is concern
ing a work of man? Yes, of one kind
VIZ, the work of the magician.
Here, indeed, we believe in him, and
are delighted with his work, until we
know how it is done, and then all our
faith and wonder cease. But in any
honest work it is not so; but, on the
contrary, when we understand how it
is done, stupid wonder is changed into
intellectual delight. Does it not seem,
that to most people God is a mere
wonder-wOrker, a chief magician? But
the mission of science is to show us
how things are done. Is it any won-
der, then, that to such persons science
is constantly destroying their supersti-
tious illusions? But if God is an hon
est worker, according to reason. e.,
according to law-ought not science

In Fancy.

Sometimes in waking dreams my footsteps go
Where walked on either side me Youth
and Hope.
There still leaves rustic and blue waters flow
Stand still the purple hills beyond the bay
About whose folded feet the old town lay;
Still the shy eyes of blushing daisies Ope
When on their dun flanks falls the suns first
rays.
Light breath of Summer breezes come and
goes;
The gray great arch is tiecked of gold and
Now the hills brows have ta'en their glory
And the day broadens and the brightness
grows.
How the light ripples on the rivers breastl
How doth it flicker in glad unrest
Where doubles of the laughing leaves drop
In showered shadows settling to the West!
And bird singeth on the topmost spray
OF the great elm joyous roundelay.
All, the brown throstle of the silver motel
He leads the choir that answers full and gay.
Clean green the printings of the fairies feet;
High overhead the feath'ry cloudlets float.
While their light shadows DER the clover feet.
In the old orchard at the close of day
Comes cool wind and blows long grass to
gray,
And the gnsrled branches stretching over
Show stars for flowers on each darkling spray;
And u broad moon floats upward silently
A silver shallOp on a purple sea.
Tracking the way the charmed footsteps
tread
Where The far-shining meads of Mem'ry be!

Darky Stories.

The darky stories in the Drawer for
January remind the writer of the fol-
lowing incident:
A few years after the war he had Oc-
casion to visit Richmond with his fam
lily, and living at the time in the coun-
ty of Patrick, fifty miles from any
railroad station, very few of the dar-
kies in that county had ever seen a
railroad train. A nurse was o neceS-
sary part of the family equipage, and
he had secured the services of 4 coal
black specimen, about fifteen years of
age. who was as quick-witted as usual
but was AS veritable TOpsy as ever
''@r"wed." The party took the train
at the nearest station and after few
hours run broken rail threw the train
OFF the track. Some of the cars made
revolution down an embankment,
and some were lodged on its incline
at an angle of forty-five degrees: Great
CONSERVATION, of course, ensued; the
men were shouting. and the women
and children screaming. After great
difficulty our party scrambled out of
the coach on the steep incline of the
embankment. Finding no bones brok-
en- with wife or little one, the writer,
who was surprised at the placid. undis-
turbed appearance of the nurse, who,
holding the baby in her arms, looked
upon the scene as if nothing had hap
pened, said:
''Milly. were YOU much frightened?"
mo, sah." she said; 81 thought it
had TO stop that acay."
Joe, the colored waiting-man, came
in early one morning to make q fire
for Elisha Carr, sort of evangelist,
who was stopping with Joe's master.
1t was cold, and the ground covered
with snow.
Have you got religion yet, Joe?"
asked Mr.. Carr.
mo, sir"
''Well, don't you want to get it."
mo, sir; don't know as l does"
"Well. you'd better want to get it.
You'd better want to get to heaven.
where it will be warm, and y,ou won't
have to make fires on cold mornings.
The idea struck Joe with force, and
he ''studied" over it for a while; then,
looking up with puzzled expression,
he asked, "Tell me, Mr.. Carr, is dey
any white folks up dar?"
"Yes."
''Well," sighed Joe, 'You needn't
ter tell me, eff dey's white folks up
dar, dat niggers won't have ter make

The Emperor's Favorite Hymn.

Under the heading of the emperor
Favorite Hymn" the music
shops of Berlin are exhibiting hymn
set to music by Robert Radecke. The
words are by Earnest Won Willich,
the only son of Ehrenfried Won Willich,
the stepson of Schleirmacher, composed
at II years of age. when the boy lay ON
the bed from which he never rose
again. The hymn, and the tune to
which it is set, pleased the present EN-
peror so much that he often ordered it
to be sung, and so it has got to be ac-
cepted as his fayorite. In as close a
as possible the hymn runs
as follows,
When the Lord me sorrow SENDS
Let me bear il patiently,
Lifting up the heart in prayer,
Comfort He will not deny.
Therefore, let there come what will,
In the Lord my heart is still.
Though the heart is often weak,
in despair and all foflorn,
When in days of utmost pain,
Not day of Joy will dawn,
Tell it: Let there come what will,
In the Lord all pain Is still.
So pray, o Lord, my God,
That my faith and hope may stand.
Then no care know nor heed,
Guided ever by thy hand!
Therefore, let there come what will,
In the Lord my heart is still.
