Cooked Breakfast.

Sonnambulism has in all ages
furnished many curious illustra-
tons and among them may be
noted one that occurred in West
Utica On. W residence a few days
ago. The husband and wife were
aroused by the breakfast bell ring
ing in the middle of the night
They arose and discovered that it
was two o'clock, but on hastily
dressing and going down to the
dining room they found breakfast
ready and waiting for them. They
were greatly alarmed at the con-
dition of things, for they at first
imagined that the hired girl had
suddenly gone insane. After a
few minutes, however, they discov-
cred she was asleep. She had got
up, started the fire, prepared the
morning meal and had it ready tor
serving. but was sound asleep all
the time. The only Unusual thing
was her failure to put on her shoes.

The Alaska Boundary.

The danger which threatens
Alaska from the hostile encroach-
ments of Great Britain, to which
attention has been called repeatedly
since March last, is becoming
more and more apparent. For
over a year English and Canadian
engineers, surveyors and photo
tographers have been busily en-
gagged in their effort to bolster up
the British claim that the range of
mountains named in the treaties
as the boundary line is sixty miles
nearer the coast than the well-de-
fined range which has been ac-
cepted by both countries for
thee-quarters of a century. "A
young English surveyor, returning
from work on the alleged bound
airy, made this significant admis-
sion at Seattle: II must admit
that grasping spirit is being
shown on Great Britain's part,
and that evidence Of a boundary
is being manufactured" He fur
Their confessed that there was no
sign OF such a range of mountains
as IS described in the Russo-Amer-
lean treaty of 1867 anywhere be-
tween the acknowledged bound
airy range and the sea. In pursuit
Of her traditional policy. however,
England is intent upon Selling a
strip of American soil which
would give her the most desirable
part of our Arctic province. Yet
the administration at Washington
City watches the process unmoved.

A Field For Adventurous Spirits.

Of Ontario's area, estimated at
100000 square miles, 100, 900
square miles are in an unknown
region, only the edges of which
have been explored This is the
territory known as Hinterland of
Ontario. 1t lies between Lakes HUI
ron and Superior to the south and
the Albany river and James Bay
to the north. In this vast area,
says the Winnipeg Free Press, is
the Height of Land, which separ-
ates waters flowing to Hudson Bay
from the streams emptying into
the St. Lawrence and the lakes.
North of the Height is what is
called the Hudson Bay Slope, con-
sisting of about so, 900 square
miles. This slope may be de-
scribed as unknown land.
The Height Of Land is not a
ridge of hills, but is level pla-
teau some twelve or thirseen hun
dred feet above the sea. The
scenery" says surveyors report,
though diversified by hundreds
Of rivers and streams, thousands
of lakes and innumerable craigs
and hills of rock, is certainly lack
ing in that nobility and largeness
Of view which only the presence Of
lofty mountains can bestow." Oh

slope the Albany is the most i'm

and navigable during the season of
high water for $50 miles. OF the
short slope south at the Height of
Land, in which are situated the
| settlements of North Bay, Sturgeon
Falls and Sudbury, there is def
mite and general knowledge; but
the whole territory sloping north
remains unexplored.
The Hinterland is Ontario's re-
serve. Much valuable timber in
this region is destroyed by fires
that sweep south of the watershed.
Pine. spruce, tamarack. poplar and
cedar are varieties Of wood exist
ing in abundance south of the Hud-
son Bay Slope. Here, too. are
valuable minerals; but the treas
ures hidden in the region north of
the plateau and the resources of
the high plain itself, await the
searching ofsome intrepid explorer.
This year further Investigations
are to be made in both Labrador
and the Hinterland. Meanwhile,
no adventurous spirit need resign
itself to obscure inactivity, nor am
bilious traveller sigh because there
are not new countries to traverse.
The Hinterland will reward the
eager discoverer; and when he has
exhausted that territory, Labrador,
Newfoundland, the Northwest ter
ritory and regions of the great
Northwest remain unsurveyed.

A Short Campaign.

uAo'SuiSut III favor OF q
short presidential campaign is be.
coming formidable PARTY organs
statesmen and politicians in large
numbers are pushing it along, and
the independent newspapers are a
unit in its support. Senator Gull
lom OF Illinois says he sees mo
good end to be served by pro-
longed presidential campaign. l
believe the business men of the
country want brief political
hight He says he has made it a
point OF late to ask his acquant-
ances who are in the trade what
they thought about the matter and
has ascertained that they favor the
short campaign idea. So, too, do
these politicians whom he has run
across.
The Chicago Tribune thinks it
IS doubtful whether any are in ia
vor OF long campaign with the
exception OF presidential aspirants,
who want early conventions so
they may be put out OF their mis-
cry, and the petty politicians, who
have no occupation save politics
and who run local campaigns and
have the handling of local cam
paign funds.
1t is not difficult to understand
why the managers of local cam
paigns prefers long canvass, for the
longer the struggle the greater
amount OF cash for them to handle.
Experience has shown that there is
strong probability of personal
profit in the manipulation OF cam
paign funds. There is no right
system of accounting in such af-
fairs, and it is fact that men OF
questionable character push them
selves into places that afford op-
portunities for gain whenever
hot campaign is on.
The spell binders, too, are not
delighted with the proposed change
1t threatens their bread and butter.
Such a curtailment of their period
of profitable activity would be re-
garded as calamity. No reason.
able person can blame them for
standing up for what they have
come to regard as vested right.
But the most formidable opposition
to this movement comes from the
saloon keepers, who, if less elo-
quent than the spell binders, are
by no means less influential with
the managers of campaigns The
vendors OF cheering beverages find
long campaigns promotive of their
interests, and they are justified in
trying to avert the proposed change
But an overwhelming majority
of the people have no interest that
will not be helped by cutting off
month or six weeks from the aver
age duration of the presidential
contest 1t will greatly mitigate
the inevitable decentralization of
business. 1t will prevent the waste
ofmillions of dollars worth OF time.
1t will save a large amount of
money to millions of citizens, and
we are unable to name any public
injury that will result from it

MRS. H. A. STREET.
j.. Gil.

HANNAH AsHwORTH WOOD was born Dec.
"a, 1926, at Foster Mill Lane in the township of
Wadsworth Parish of Halifax, County of York,
England She was the daughter of Joseph and
Mary Wood. At the. age of four she came to
America with her parents. They being Quakers
she was brought up under that kind of religious
training. There were many things which she
could not make to harmonic with their Gus
toms: while she bOnored and respected them
yet she could not be a Quaker.
She was united in marriage with Mr.. q. w.
Street. Aug. s. 1851. Mr.. Street died March Is,
1862 leaving her with four children, three boys
and one girl. In the early winter of 1862 she
united with the Universalist church of McCon-
nellsville. o. She has since then been a devout
CONSCIENTIOUS Christian, living in the light of the
blessed hope for which that church stands.
Her funeral was held in the Methodist Episco-
pal church of Malta, o., Feb. IS, 1855. The
Ladies Relief Corps, and the Daughters of Re-
becca attended the services as body, and per-
formed their services according to their rituals
which were very impressiv.. The pastor of the
Methodist Episcopal church made few re-
marks at the close of her pastors address.
Mrs. Street will be long remembered as GO cd,
true woman. She was postmaster Of Malta a
number of years, as well as teacher in the
public schools of Malta. McConnellsvie and
Cincinnati. Her faith never failed her and she
proved that it was just as gooi to die by as it
was to live by. The world is better because our
sister lived in it. J.R.C.

MRS. ANNA KING.

Departed to the higher life Feb 49, 1885, MRS.
ANNA KING, in the 6sth year of her age. Anna
Austin, daughter of Edward and Elizabeth Aus
tin. was born in Baltimore. Md, December 81.
1927. Her parents were profound believers in
Unversalism, and she was reared in the light
and favoring auspices of their faith.
In 1856 Anna was united in marriage to James
B. King. who died in October 1878 while perform
ing bis duty as an engineer during the yellow
fever scourge of that year. During the last ten
or twelve years Mrs. King resided in Hopkins
vile, Ky. Trained as she was in the doctrines
of Uniyersalism, and possessing an incsive
mind combined with great good judgment and
rare power of analysis she saw and realized
keenly the great wealth of the faith which was
her spiritual portion by Inheritance. Well
grounded in the faith once delivered to the saints
she never faltered in promulgating it, nor hesi-
tated in letting her light shine Possessing rare
mental endowments, and great spiritual in
sight her light was brilliant one. Her faith in
God and his Christ was a living one. In 1888
when the Uniyersalist church was organized in
Hopkinsville she jOyOusly became one of its
members, and until i'll health made its iDr0ads
upon her, she was active in church work. A
daughter, an only child, survives who, like her
mother is believer in the doctrine of Gods
eternal love, and who at the same time as her
sainted mother united with the church.
The fune raj services were held in the Uni
versalist church, and conducted by the pastor.
