ALASKAN MISSIONARY LIFE.
Hardships of Those Who Garry the Cos
pei Into the Wilds.

PEI 1hto the NIIuSs
Many volumes could be written
about the dangers, sufferings and
hardshlps of Christian missionaries.
Sometimes the hardships are more
difficult to bear than the dangers 1t
is thrilling and inspiring to be always
ready for martyrdom; but to suffer
steadily from bitter hardships. with
out the spice of danger from human
enemies, is harder, and quite as de.
serving of the crown of reward.
The missionary in the remoter parts
CT Alaska knows what these hardships
are. Mr.. Provost, missionary to the
Tanana Indians, has perhaps the larg'
est missionary parish in the world.
1t covers more than one hundred thou,
sand square miles; and Mr.. Provost
has travelled, with dogs and sledges,
fifteen hundred miles on one trip to
preach the Gospel.
With dogs and sledges, we say; but
this does not mean that the missionary
rode. He ran behind the sledge, for
the dogs had enough to do to draw the
food, clothing and blankets without an
additional load of human beings
"Of course" said Mr.. Prevo@t, in Civ
ing an account of his work during a
visit to the state of Washington, there
is handle on the rear of the sled. and
we can take hold of that in order to
keep up with the dogs, which make
about twenty-five miles day."
Like the apostle, this missionary
might truly say that he had not run in
vain, for the Indians give proof of hav-
ing heard him, attentively. On one
occasion a party of Tahana Indians
travelled more than three hundred
miles with sleds and dogs, III order to
bring to the mission station at Fort
Adams the dead bodies of woman and
child, that they might receive Chris.
tian burial. Other Indians have jour.
neyed four hundred miles in order to
receive religious instruction from Mr..
Provost.
This missionary has induced these
boreal Indians to build houses and
adopt some of the ways of civilized
life. He las printing press, sets his
own type, and issues a newspaper
twice year. This is twice as often as
he receives any news from the outside
world. He did not hear of the last
presidential nominations until eleven
months after they had taken place.
Although the missionary welcomes
hardships, he is not averse to using the
resources of civilization in the propa-
cation of the Gospel. There are two
thousand miles of navigable water, in
summer, in the Yukon river, in his
parish" AMI he has hopes of obtain
Ing an electric launch which will en-
able him to make more rapid journeys

THE LEGION OF HONOR.
Men We're Managed with Toys, Declared
Bonaparte in Founding IL.


Bonaparte in Founding 1t.
But it is not difficult to understand
the popularity of a measure, passed at
about the same time, for establishing
the now well-known Legion of Honor.
1t is certainly true that the desire for
social inequality-th is, for personal
distinction - is the strongest single
force in calling out human energy. The
passion for pins, badges, ribbons and
personal decorations of every sort is
well-nigh universal, 1t gratifes the
sense of achievement among men who
are able, and hatters the vanity of
those who are not. To this passion, in
itself not necessarily ignoble, the first
consul determined to appeal for fur
Their support. Every new institution of
Importance so far created by him
might, with no great ingenuity, be
turned into prop of autocratic gov
eminent. Priests and emigrants were
now alike natural allies of Bonaparte,
the constitution had been virtually
superseded, the troublesome senators,
trlbunes and legislators either dis
missed or else warned and called to
order, while the surrou nding nations
one of them kingdom-were, in rela-
ton to France, like the sheaves bowling
to Joseph's sheaf.
The foundation of the Legion of
Honor was measure easily manage
able in the interest of any government
which might control it. Roederer de-
clared in its support that the great
deeds of the nation made it essential to
revive the sentiment of honor. An
article of the constitution guaranteed,
in The name of the French people, a
recompense to its armies. This simple
phrase was the sanction chosen for the
erection of corporation which, like
the orders of absolutism, might inter-
mediate between the people and their
magistrate in order to lend the same
mystery which ever surrounds any
monarch who is the fountain of
honor" The republicans saw the trap,
and resisted sturdily, even in the coun-
ell of state, but to no purpose.
The law was passed on May 10, 1902;
the ranks were constituted, and the
decorative badges determined. Every
member swore to resist any attempt to
restore feudalism in all its attributes,
and consciences were thus quoted.
Right and left the men of science of
art, and of literature appeared with
their ribbons and rosettes; the nation
applauded, and Bonapartes opinion
was justified. You call these toys!
Well, you manage men with toys he
declared while the project was under
discussion. He proved to be right. In
al monarchical Europe 10 decoration
is more eagerly sought, to this day,
than is that of the Legion of Honor in
republican France.-Prof. Sloane, in
Century
