Exploring LabH azior.

Two members of the geological survey
of Canada have started on one of the
longest surveys ever undertaken into
what is now generally supposed to be the
wild, inhospitahle territory in the far
north and eastern Canada, known as the
Labrador peninsula. The expedition will
be absent from civilization for nearly
two years, and before it returns hopes to
have solved the enigmas of the interior
of Labrador, concerning which such fab
ulous tales have been told. If it accom-
plishes this. the expedition will be a val
liable contribution to the worlds fund of
geological information, and whether full
ly successful or not should bring back
much important knowledge from that
unknown country.-St. Johnsbury (Vt.)

Color Photography.

Our Paris correspondent reports that
much interest was shown at the Photo
graphic club there in some plates OBJ
tanned by Professor Lippmann's process.
The pictures on glass were cast by an
electric protector onto white screen be-
fore an admiring and enthusiastic audi
ence. The first picture to appear on the
screen was bunch Of roses, violets and
jessamine. They came out with all their
natural colors and tints and velvety ef-
fects. AS a person remarked, the only
thing these flowers lacked was scent. A
corner of landscape in Paris park was
the next picture. The sky was of true
blue. The sanded alleys and the green
lawn were as like to nature as nature it.

CHICAGO, Aug. flames H. Walker
4 Co., dealers in dry goods, one of the
largest firms in the city, confessed iudg-
ment today on note for $5495. W. A.

ceivers. Tomorrow third party will be
selected to act with the other two.
The firm succeeded the Chicago bust
ness OF A. I. Stewart q Co., OF New
York, and did both wholesale and retail
business. The action taken today was
not unexpected and the events leading
up to it dated back for some time,
when rumors from the east that the
firm was trying to borrow money were
denied. Yesterday the rumor was re-
vived, and today before the confession
was made or the application for
receiver was filed, it was heard on the
street that prominent commercial house
was in difficulty.
The firms total liabilities are placed
at ~, 100000. No statement of assets is
made. except that the firm hopes to pay
dollar for dollar.
The bill of complaint submitted to the
court sets forth that the execution of
the judgment secured by Noa was placed
in the hands of the sheriff, and that

property under execution. 1t is

RED Apples won che Raoe.


| Two large apple trees stand side by
side in an orchard not far from Sydney.
On one hung fruit which looked like
balls of gold in the sunlight The ap-
piles on the neighboring tree were a
bright red. One day the owner of the
orchard sent his men to pick the fruit.
1t was to be sent to the Worlds fair,
and he followed them out among the
trees to see that the work was properly
done. When at last the apples were
packed in the barrels, the fruitgrower
decided that those two barrels should
separate in the orchard and not meet
again until on the exhibition table in the
Horticultural building at the fair. The
red apples were to go east, and the yell
low apples were to go west.
The golden fruit was loaded into a
steamer and started toward the Suez
canal. while the red fruit was started
the same day in q vessel across the Pa
cifc ocean. The fruit grower marked
"No delay. Perishable goods" con-
spicuously on each barrel. He wanted
to ascertain which was the quickest
route to the Worlds fair. The barrel
of yellow apples passed through the
canal, through the Mediterranean sea,
up the English channel, and finally
reached London. Here it was taken
from the boat and sent by railroad to
Liverpool. Then the barrel of New
South Wales fruit was loaded into an
ocean racer and started on its way
across the Atlantic to New York, whence
it came to Chicago by railroad. 1t was
just GO days to an hour when Thomas
Pugh, the assistant general superin-
tendent of the New South Wales ex-
hibit, received it.
In the meantime the red apples had
crossed the Pacific ocean to San Fran
cisco in 20 days. Then they were sent
by freight to Chicago. After numerous
delays along the way the apples arrived.
They had been az days on the way and
had been admired by Worlds fair visit
ors for almost two weeks before the
golden apples which grew on the tree
beside them in Australia were placed on
china plates and set on the table beside
them in the New South Wales fruit dis
play.-Chicago Record.

A Sufficient Cure.

A Detroiter, possessed of the idea that
he was sleuth of the class in which vi
docq made his great fame, went to Chi
cago and succeeded in having his name
placed on the list of Columbian guards
He was bright and full of business. He
thought very well Of himself, and as re-
suit of all these considerations he was
made detective. This sudden elevation
of q tyro to the position of a full fedged
thief catcher suggested to the light fin
gered gentry that their ability-was being
underestima ted by the management, and
they proceeded to show just how much
of a ely cop" the man from Detroit was.
They robbed him twice in rapid success
sion and then at rather brief intervals
until he really began to wonder whether
he was enough of detective to keep his
uniform from being stolen off his person
in broad daylight. He has entirely re-
vised his opinion Of himself as q sleuth
hound and is delugang his friends here
with requests to get him job as street
car driver.-Detroit Free Press.

The Decision Not Expected for se-eral
Weeks to Come.
WASHINGTON, Aug. 4.-Private advices,
later and apparently more authentic
than those received by the state depart
ment as to the movement of the Bering
sea arbitrators, have reached this city.
Senator Morgan cables his son that it
will be impossible for him to leave Paris
before August 18th. This is postpone
ment of two weeks beyond the time
originally set for his departure. Sew
eral days ago the senator booked for
passage on the steamer sailing August
9th. This is taken as sign that the
verdict of the arbitrators will not be
rendered this week. From the language
of his cablegrsm it seems to be doubtful
whether the arbitrators will have fin
ished their duties even by the 10th.

constitutional. His decision was that
the penal section was unconstitutional.
1t may be that the appeal takon is on

Spanish diplomats now propose home
rule for Cuba. The direct reason for
their conversion is the fact that the ex-
penses of running the little West Indian
island last year were $8,ooo,o 900 in excess
of the receipts. In other words, Spain,
while willing to accept any revenue that
Cuba might pay it's mother country, does
not care to shoulder the Islands debts.

ADVICE TO YOUNG MEN.

Many of our young men at the pres
ent time are filed with an intense de-
sire to secure situations as depart
mental clerks under the government
and in their eagerness do not stop to
think Of the better chances Of secur-
ing honor and competency in other
directions which they cast aside. The
current number of Rdrper's Weekly
contains some sensible advice to young
men regarding this matter, which
they would do well to study closely,
as we feel sure they would be benefit
ed generally in the end by SO doing. 1t
is as follows:
''To all young men who contem-
plate journey to Washington for the
purpose Of securing employment the
best advice is, don't The humblest
situation in a mercantile house, where
the pecuniary reward is small, where
the hours are long and the labor is
hard, is better in the end than gov
eminent clerkship. One way lie OPP
portunities for Advancement, for the
utilization and final reward of every
talent and all the energy that the
young man possesses. The other way
lie hopelessness, drudgery, stagnation.
Many poor young man seeks a gov
eminent clerkship in order that he
may earn his support while he is study
ing his profession. He is taking up
staff that is likely to become neces
sary to him as a crutch. He is in dan
ger of discovering, when his profess
sion is learned, that he has not the
moral courage to drop his govern
mental stipend. 1t would have been
infinitely better-it might have been
his making if he had toiled for scan
tier dollars in a manlier way.
''The government clerk drags out a
monotonous existence, dreary, I'M
promising of advancement, and if he
is not turned out in his old age to lin
ger on through his few remaining
years in poverty he is one of the most
fortunate of his kind. There is no
service that so destroys the latent en-
ergies and kills the hope as that OF q
government clerk. Young men who
think they have the element of sue
cess in them should avoid it as they
would the plague"

ance. And when young woman with
Christian tact and grace demands, as
Christian ladies can demand, for the
sake of Jesus, who never once re-
preached a woman, abstinence as
prerequisite to her respect, [ call that
gospel temperance. And when the
honored wife. of Minnesota's spotless
Senator, who died with his glass re-
versed, Mrs. William Window, refus-
ed to serve wine at her table accord
ing to the custom, saying she would
rather offend a few than to tempt any.
I call that gospel temperance. And
when a Christian man stands up aud
votes the will of God touching drink
into the ballot-box and does it for His
sake and in His name, though he
stand alone among million, and
against overwhelming odds Of policy
or politics or worldly wisdom, l call
that gospel temperance.

Il NEW USE FOR IN OK.

You would have laughed as much
as we did if you had seen them. A
great, beautiful brown OK whose sides
cleaned like those Of a we'll groomed
horse. On his back a small boy, whose
short legs and bare feet stood out on
either side on a level with the back
of the OK. \ small twig furnished
with a cord was the whip used by the
small boy. The reins were fastened
about the horns of the OK. A smart
tapping on the great sides of the OK
with the whip, and away he started
on a trot with the little rider sitting
steadily on his back, looking like
huge potato as they disappeared in
the shade of the trees. The OK was evil
IDENTIFY quite used to being employed
in this way. He trOtted along a east
ly as if he were drawing a ploug h or 4
load of hay. The afternoon brought
back the small boy, this time on tn
back of the other OK of that 5,tn
who was just as steady and quie5 Is
his mate. We learned then that thu
oxen were being shod. The small
boy having them in charge was the
son of the owner. He seemed to think
that oxen were made TO carry small
boys on their backs, and he looked IS
if greatly puzzled by our interest and
amusement when he rode by.
