visit the spot This was Frenchman, J.
N. Nicoliet, who tried to ascertain the
source OF the feeders Of Lake Itasca. Ex-
ploring southwark, he reached the springs
from which the infant river takes its RISE
1t should be understood that the Mlssis-
sippf runs from its source directly north
ward for a distance of fifty miles before
turning about in sort Of fish-hook bend
and starting southwark. To the baby
stream, before ii enters Lake Itasca, Nicol-
let gave the poetic name of Graded
Achilles" He established its course In
connection with three small lakes since
named the Upper, Middle and Lower Nicol-
let lakes-that is to say, he found that the
little river ran through two of these small
lakes and connected with the third. This
explorer mapped the whole Of the Itasoan
basin, and determined the latitude, longi-
tude and altitude with such accuracy that
subsequent surveys have only confirmed
and amplitied his observations.
"Of late years several examinations have
been made of the sources of the Missis-
sippi By far the most complete and &C
curate survey was accomplished by the
Hon. j. V. Brewer, under the auspices OF
the Minnesota State Historical Society
Through the efforts of the society and of
Mr.. Brewer. the thirty-five square miles
of which / have already spoken were re-
served by the state for park.
No Cause for Dispute.
1.-The whole subject of which I have been
speaking was befogged and thrown into
dispute recently by a certain Capt Gla-
zier. who, apparently for no other pur-
pose than to advertise himself published
his alleged discovery of a new and true
source of the Mississippi. By reducing the
size of Lake Itasca, Ignoring Nicolet's
Graded Achilles. magnifying a small side
lake, which ne called Lake Glazier, and by
stretching out one of the feeders of the
latter, he produced a distorted map which
actually imposed en- the Royal Geographical
Society of Great Britain. Many of the err
rors thus originated have crept into the
standard maps of the United States.
MY recent Investigations have verified
in the minutest particulars the observations
of Nicollet and Brewer. 1t may fairly be
said there is nothing further to be learned
about the true source of tire Father of Wa
tiers. l speak in accordance with accepted
geographical distinctions. AS matter of
essential fact, the true upper Mississippi
is the river called the Missouri. The stream
that flows from Lake Itasea Is merely a
tributary l ought not to forget to mention
that i walked along the bed of the stream
termed by Capt. Glazier the infant Missls-
sippi for considerable distance drysbod.
The little brook was dried up. Late meas
urements have reduced the length of the
Mississippi from 3,1S4 miles to 1855 miles"

Injurious Effects of Hurry.

From the New York Ledger.
In prescribing for a patient the other day
a physician, who is specialist in nervous
difficulties, declared that a young woman
under his charge was literally killing her
self by too rapid movements.
"She is not satisfied" he said, with going
about and doing things in quiet, ordinary
way, but actually rushes through with her
work and continually overtaxes herself.
She cannot be convinced that little more
elaboration might accomplish just as much
and save her strength. So firmly is this
habit of haste fixed upon her that she will
run up and down stairs when there is no
need for hurry, and, indeed, when there is
no possible pretext for doing 1t.
The doctors prescription was: good deal
more elaboration, a large amount of rest
and pleasant occupation. This world Is full
of people who are rushing themselves TO
ruin of health as fast as they can CO. They
not only rush. but worry, and, between
these two, subject their nervous system to
more wear and tear than anything short of
wrought steel would endure.
