Explorer Glayer Returns With Much
Interesting Information.
A. J. Glaver, formerly of Stanley's ex.
ploring expedition. who has been in
Alaska for the past seven years, has ar.
lived at Victoria, B. c., from a trip on
which he tried to reach the headwaters
of the Alaska River. He located the
source about II miles northeast of Mount
st. Elias. He took with him and brought
pack four horses in perfect condition
although previously nothing but men OF
foot have been in the country traversed.
Mr.. Glaver explored and took photo.
graphic views of the whole country
,ying between North Yukon and the bass
Of st. Elias Alps, finding itmore suitable
FOR traffic than was before imagined. He
proceeds direct to Washington to ask the
United States Government for an apnro.
priation to enable him to open up the
trails next season.

before people can go to Europe easily and
quickly by way of Alaska and Siberia?
That is a questionswhich interests a good
many people who are subject to seasickness,
yet who feel impelled to join in the summer
rush. As for myself, though not specially
apt to feel qualms upon the water l am con-
sidsrably interested, after several times en-
during the unutterable tedlum of an ocean
voyage, in tho time when l can railroad it to
Alaska, cross the Boring strait on a bridge
and c~oatinue through Siberia to st. Peters,
burg and Berlin.
Railroad men says that it will not be long.
American capitalists have already fully made
up their minds to connect Alaska with our
own railroad systems by a trans-Canadian
line-a precedent established by the Ameri-
can connections of the Grand Trunk line.
The Boring strait is easily bridged, or is
narrow enough to be but a slight matter in
any case. On the other side, the Russian
government is pushing its trans-Siberian
line with considerable energy, mainly, of
course, for military purposes. So it should
not be 80 very long before travelled Yankees
are enabled to get into Europe by the back
door. The old way will always be the
cheapest and quickest, however.
Even now there are considerable advan-
tages in taking the western route. In the
first place one sees a little of America, in
the second the Pacific is always calm in
summer and besides Japan. China and
British India are very interesting portions
of the earth to visit.

The Nicaragu a Canal.

A.. M. Wellington, G. E., one of the edi-
tors of the Engineering News, speaks in
very emphatic terms about the Nicaragua
canal. A member of the News staff, Mr..
Stauffer, has made a personal Investigation
of the route of the canal and both he and
Mr.. Wellington are satisfied that it is O
feasible and promising r~roject.
The great trouble with the Panama ca
nal of dc Lesseps," said Mr. Wellington &c
me, aside from the enormous amount OF
work involved in cutting th~roughthe noun
tain for a tide level canal, was the difficulty
of controlling the Chagres river. IN dry
weather this is a mere creek. A three-hours'
which has time and again done untold dam
age to the works. The canal will probably
never be finished, even with locks, now that
the American enterprise is progressing so ia
vorably. The Nicaragua aver. you know, is
not subject to floods. The great lake ut
its source acts like an enormous reservoir
to equaliZe its flow. 1t is like the st. Law,
renee in this respect. The work of con
structing a canal along its channel will be
very simple. The entite route has now
been very thoroughly surveyed.
Another advantage the Nicaragua route
possesses is its climate, which il by nc
means unhealthful, except, perhnps. il
midsummer. The enterp. ise will undoubt-
edly succeei.'
All of which squares with what ever,
American engineer of experience says, Thu
best Of our engineering experts condemned
the De Lesseps scheme years before i'll
actual failure. LII their advice had been
taken the poor people of + ance nigh
have saved Il good many of their hard
earned francs.

The Story of a Little Girl.

A while ago a little girl was lost in New
York, and to the editors of a great paper
came an appeal for help in finding her.
We'll get up a picture to show everybody
how she looks" said the editor, who has n
soft spot in his heart for lost children. So
a reporter was sent out, but presently re-
turned to report that he could get no photo
graph of the girl, but that she was small OF
her age, always stood with her feet close to-
gether. had blue eyes and wore a Nellie BY
peaked gap.
Now, get up q nice picture" said the
editor, and the artist was puzzled, as well
he might be, for the facts that the girl had
blue ewes and was small of her age were OF
no use in a black and white drawing, and
he had only the feet and the cap to work
upon. However. he did the best he could
and drew a picture of a real nice little girl
The resemblance was remarkable. Every
body said so. The mother of the little
girl came in to thank the artist and the ed.
itor, with tears in her eyes. after the Cir.
had been found, and modern journalism
entered another splendid triumph on it:
notched stick.

~prisonment, as his object was simply to
show up the infamous traffic in young girls

Mr.. Stead, as | last saw him in London,
was a man of middle age and less than
medium height and bulk. His beard and
hair were reddish, his eye a light but not
unsteadfast blue. His manner was hearty,
cordial and unaffected, but betrayed at
times the abstraction of a man with twenty
things on his mind at once. The new Re
view at that time was in its infancy, and
he was doing prodigies of work to put it on
it's feet.
I have a far more feeting, but quite as
pleasant. a recollection of a young lady
with Mr.. Stead, whom I only knew as
miss Bella.' Miss Bella was a very Eng
lish young lady, with very English square
ness of shoulders and redness Of cheek. I

picture-between the cid faith and the new.
The painterof that work and of many other
spirited Indian studies is De Cost Smith, of
this city, an authority on all matters con-
neeted with the Indians. Mr.. Smith was
born almost on the edge of the Onondaga
reservation in this state and has always
been interested in Indian folklore~ind ftFg-
dition. He has made several trips to the
Sioux country, the last about the time of
the outbreak last summer, and his rooms IN
the Halbein studio building, shared by Mr..
e. w. Deming, also Il dellneator of Indian
life, are a perfect museum of Indian pipes,
blankets, saddles, medicine masks, wolf
skins. tepee poles and other properties"
10 my mind such artists as Mr.. Smith, MIR.
Remington, Mr.. Deming and Mr.. ii. b. Fan
ME are doing a very good work in calling
the attention of American artists to the
rich stores of material in their own country.
1t is their work which has already attracted
more attention abroad h the thousands
of washy washy sentimentalities that Amer
lean artists have concocted. These men
would welcome competition. IF there
were a dozen strong men painting on Indian
topics we should all be better off," said Mr..
Smith to me the other day. "We should
then be a school. But Americans take no
interest in the Indian, although he is their
n%eighbor. They will not even believe us
when we represent the Indian as<he is. If
we represent him as cruel, vindictive and
savage, they are we'll pleased. but they will
not believe us when we paint his virtues as
we'll as his faults. The Indians are not the
stoical race which they haye been usually
represented. They are mora sentimental
than we are. more emotional. Their hope
of salvation lies in getting something to do,
but it is a great mistake for the government
to try to make them all farmers They
make admirable policemen and cavalry
men. Some might make good farmers,
others might do as stock ~raisers, and 9TH

The Unspea kahle Russian.

Talk of the Siberian railway reminds me
of the account which the Rev. Charles r.
Baker, of the Messiah church in Brooklyn,
gives of the Russian maps which he saw in
Tifis. Having recently looked Tiliis up on
the map l am able to state that it lies mid
way between the termini of the Poti n
Baku railroad, in what used to be Georgia
but is now a part of the realm of the abide
vouring Russian. Here in Tlfis, which not
SO very long ago was about rs bnrbarous a
place as any, DIR. Baker found one of the
most complete collection, of maps he had
ever seen, especially rich in the Asian de-
partment. Russia is. probably, better IN
formed to-day about the geography of
Turkestan and Afghanistan than the natives
themselves and may use its knowledge to
advantage in the next great war.

A Jumbo of STYLES.

In years past we have usually had a prev
alent style for country house architecture.
Grecian, Gothic, Italian, Queen Anne and
and colonial villas have followed each other
in rapid but reasonably orderly succession,
each the reflection of past forms and ideas.
Now we lave no prevalent style but a jun
BILE of all. Queen Anne houses, SO called,
continue in favor along with colonial.
Strangest ~juxtaposition of all. James
Brown Lord, the architect of Tuxedo. is
erecting at Hempsted two splendid villas,
one an Italian study with open topped
towers and wide shady loggias, tine other a
half timbered Elizabethian houss looking
like Leicester's hospital, without the sug-
g%estion of a shaded porch in front. Such a
contrast of extreme northern and extreme
southern styles is rather funny.

When the tireligh sputtess low
When thu black, uncertain shadows
Seem wraitha OF the long ago;
Always with u throb of heart ache
That thrills each pulsive vein.
Bones the old upquiet longing,
For the peace Of home again.
I'm sick of tho roar of cities,
And of la @ cold and strange;
know where tlere's warmth OF welcome,
And my yeariing fancies range
Pack to the dear I'D homestead,
With an aching sense Of pain,
But theren b, Joy in the coming,

And it seems tho hands OF angels,
On a mystic harp, A. play,
Have touched with "A yearning sadness
On "A leiutiful broker strain,

When | go home again.

Betting on the Races.


In one respect we grow more English
every year. The amount of betting that is
done on horse racing in and about New
Poolrooms are open in the city, under
the pretexts of executing commits
sions to be delivered on the track.
Upon the chief tracks anywhere from
5000 to 10000 people may be present, and
nearly every one is financially Interested in
the result. Women bet perhaps a tenth
part as much as men, II with quite as
much skill, usually. Women usually back
the favorite, and display no liking for
short horses"
l have not yet come upon the parallel of
the English sporting parson in New York,
but a member of a supliced choir who looks
very much like a parson on Sundays told
me the other day about the "sure system"
by which he picked up several hundred dol
lars last year.
