GREATER THAN THE MISSISSIPPL
Canadian GcoIoEists Tell OF Enormous
pre-glnci.,i River.

QUEBEc, May 22.-The largest river OF any
age of which there is anv evidence in the world,
according to u remarkable geological discovery
late meeting at Ottawa. was great pre-glacial
river in northern Canada. DIR. Robert Bell. who
produced scientific evidence Of the correct
hess of his discovery, pointed out that
it was generally admitted by biologists
that the continent OF North America inn
mediatey before the glacial period stood at a
much higher elevation than Mt the present
time, amounting to, perhaps. betweea two and
three thousand feet. The inevitable result of
this must havo been to change the river systems
from what they now are. and to create in tho
north gigantic river draining an area of over
one-third of tho entire continent of North
America. and forming drainage basin seven
times as large as that OF the st. Lawrence.
The central portion OF tho great river was in
the middle OF what is now Hudson Bay, ns
proved by the existing depressions OF land in
the north OF Canada and the great depth Of
the centre of Hudson Bay. Its lower part dis
charged through what Is now Hudson Strnits
into Davis Straits. 1t Is also maintained thnt
in pregiaca times and also ut n later geological
period discharged its waters nOrthwara by way
of what IL now Hudson Bay. 1t Is asserted
that this constituted ono OF tie main branches
of this great northern river. Other large
branches were the present Saskatchewan, tho
Nelson River. which rises west of the Rocky
MOUntains the Churchill. largely augmented
by the reversal or some OF the upper rivers or
the Mackenzie basin, and great tributary
streams thut came down the present Churchill
OF which must have fully clualled in size the
Mississippi of our own day.

MISTAKEN FOR GUESTS.

ment at Social Functions.
Detectives when they attend social
functions in a professional capacity,
dress for the occasion.
at an afternoon reception they wear
frock coats, and evening clothes at one
at night The men who do this sort of
work are generally selected for their
unpolicemanlike appearance. The re-
suit is that they are mistaken for
guests even more often than the wait
ers are. for they are not obliged TO
have shaver faces to prevent such
plumbers.
A story is told OF a bride who found
time to notice that well-appearing
man at her reception seemed to know
no one. In her happiness she pitied
his lonliness. and going up to MIN pro-
posed TO introduce him TO some ada
cent pretty girls. The man became
embarrassed. and murmured something
which she did not understand. She
was about taking his arm to lead him
up to one of the pretty girls, when her
husband said:
Louisa. what are you doing? That's
the detectiver'
When laughed at afterward for her
mistake, the bride said in justification
of herself that the detective was good

but the small seed-eating birds fare
pretty well, judging from appearances.

LIVING FOR SOMETHING.
Every One Should Have Some Particula,
Object in Life.

| Every One Should Have Some Particular
Object in Life.
Nothing within the realm of the pos
eible can Withstand the man or woman
who is intelligently and determinedly
bent on success A great action is al
| ways preceded by great purpose.
History and daily life are full of ex-
amples TO show us that the measure of
human achievement has always been
proportioned TO the amount of human
daring and doing. If not always, yet
at least often, THE attempt is all the
wedge that splits its knotty way be-
twixt the impossible and possible"
What can be done and is worth doing
should be done with dispatch, leaving
the worthless things to those who idle
and loiter along the walks of life.
Every man and every woman has an
assignment in the duties and response
bilities OF daily life. To live for some
thing involves the necessity of an in
telligent and definite plan of action.
Life was lent for noble duties, not for
selfshness: not TO be wiled away for
aimless dreams, but to improve our
selves and serve mankind"
More than splendid dreaming, or
even magnificent resolves, is neces-
eary to success in the objects and am
billions of life. Those who have made
money. acquired learning, won fame
or welded power in the world
have always. in every age and among
all people, done so by embodying a
well-defned purpose In earnest, living
action. The reason that thousands
fail in their work in life is the want of
a specific plan in laying out their en-
ergies; they work hard for nothing be-
cause there are no orderly or harmoni-
Gus results possible to their mode Of
action. Results there are of a GER
tainty, but the means are not adjusted
to the end, hence the opposite OF sue
cess ensues: the harvest proclaims the
nature and quality of the seed sown.
''Ye can not grow figs on thistles." 1t
is the law.
Living for something definite and
practical, taking hold of things with
method and a will, compels them to
yield their treasures, and thus become
the ministers of our own happiness and
that of others. The great high road of
human welfare lies along the path of
steadfast and systematic we'll doing.
They who are most persistent in
energy and effort in the right direc-
ton, and work in the truest spirit, will
invariably be more successful. This,
too, is the law, in which there is no
variableness nor shadow of turning
