for falling in love than there are for catch

show that cold can be acquired under
1000 different sorts Of conditions. The

lived up to it. While in Worcester he
married Miss Perkins, of Hartford.
After ten years in Worcester DR.. Hale
was called to the pastorate of the South
Congregational church of Boston, Of
which he is still pastor, and Of whose
new edifice l give some pictures from
The New England Magazine. When the
war began. his church work became of
secondary Importance in his eyes. In
1860 he Joined Sahgnac's drill corps, and
in less than year he was an officer IN
it. His church, too, gave itself up to all
kinds Of work for the cause.
In 1869 Dr. Hale became editor of a
magazine called Old and New which
was published by the Unitarian confer
ence, and which. after six years, was
united with Scribners Magazine. In
1870 the editor was persuaded to write a
story of the life of Frederick Greenleat
as a serial for the magazine. He did so,
and the result was his best known book,
called Ten Times One is Ten" a story
which, beginning with the noble inhu
ence emanating from the life of the
young man Harry Wadsworth," out
lines a scheme of reformation which
would finally embrace the world. 1t Is

men the most fit-became its editor.

Edward Everett Hale graduated from
Harvard with honors at II. 1t was IN
this year, 1889, that class day, which has
since continued to gladden. the hearts OF
all Harvard seniors and their friends,
was instituted. Directly after his grad
nation the young man returned to the
Latin school to teach and TO prepare for
the ministry. He now began the study
of Hebrew.
His spare time was spentin all sorts of
work on his fathers paper, The Adver-
tiser. He could fill vacancy IN any de-
partment-set type, keep the books, re-
port, or write leaders. The work done
at this time was the only theological
preparation he ever had. but after two
years of it he was licensed TO preach for
a year, during which he supplied various
pulpits, remaining in Washington one
whole winter and making many friends.
DR.. Hale says now: ANY average doc
tor of divinity would say that this was
a very prepOsterous course Of preparation
for the modern pulpit, for the general
drift of modern habit in America almost
compels young men of college training
to follow it up by three years more OF

who need to look at life more IN its act

tary writes: 81 fully agree with you as

The parts of a sawInill will also be
taken, so that the mill may be operated
at the expedition headquarters and full
supply of lumber kept on hand. With
| Capt. Ray and Lieut.. Kennan at the
head it is probable that force of from
fifty to one hundred enlisted men would
be taken, aside from the scientific men,
guides, ETC., who would be drawn from
civil life. Capt. Ray viii be remembered
as the officer who took out the party to
Point Barrow at the time the Greedy ex-
petition went north.
The territory of Alaska is nearly 400
600 miles in area. The coast has been
followed and mapped, but of the vast in
terror almost nothing is known. The
possibilities can only be guessed at.
There may be and there probably is suffi-
cient wealth in lumber and minerals to
repay development. Under Gen. Cut
cheon's plan it is proposed to send the
exploring party to a central point acces-
sible by steamer up the Yukon river and
from this point as base to extend ex-
plorations in all directions into the heart
of the country.
1t is also proposed that the party should
remain in Alaska at least three years to
enable it to obtain trustworthy infor1na-
ton regarding its climate and resources,
etc. With the party will be a number
of scientists, fully equipped with scien-
tiic instruments, and it is estimated that
800, 1000 will cover the cost. Mississippi

recently, aged N years. The deceased,

chiseled his name, place of birth, and
thinking he would die between the years
of 1888 and 1890 cut the first three fig

The town of Saratow, in the southeast
of Russia, has just sustained a serious
loss; it has lost river-the River Volga.
The water of the river has for some time
past been DESERVING the right arm of the
stream upon which Saratow is built, and
flowing exclusively in the left arm, which
is about mile and quarter distant from
the town. The former bed of the stream
is now quite dry, and is used as road to
convey the passengers and goods which
arrive by the steamer to the town. 1t
has been decided that it is necessary to
connect the town with the left arm of
the stream by bridge, the construction
of which will cost about ESQ, 0O0.-Lon-

dull, lead color so often used by photog
raphers as backing for exquisite por
traits, and out of it's gloom had been
scooped rambling design, in which
were included dove struggling with u
long streamer, some leaves that probably
were meant for immortelles, and various
other thingumies that could not be re-
duced to definitions upon a cursory anal
ysis.
"You see" said the inventor, ''this is
what do. fill the white spaces in the
doves streamers with notices of senti-
mental, religious or hopeful character,
as the case seems to demand. That is in
gilt. Then you will observe that there
is blank space left in the design below
the dove and streamer. That is where
the name of the departed goes, also in
